The number of extra revolutions your

110 RECESSION If
Merchants Making Psycho
logical Mistake in Cut
ting Advertising Says
Gimba! Brothers Official
LOS ANOELES. June 38. (AP
While there may be a recession In
business, -there la no "recession In
humant wants" and merchant' are
making a psychological blunder In
assuming that there Is, Kenneth Col
lins, vice-president of Gtmbel Bros.
Philadelphia, told the opening ses
sion of the Pacific Advertising Clubs
association today.
"The newspaper 1, of course, pre
eminent In the securing of tomor
row's ealea, Collins said. "And
through Its universality of distribu
tion should, in my opinion, be pre
eminent for the building of future
good-will."
Need More, Not Less
Industry, he said, should more
than turn to advertising in days
like these, not only to secure what
sales are available with diminished
buying power, but to keep the pub-
Mo conscious of certain products so
that sales will be turned In that
direction bs soon as purchasing abil
ity la available.
He called the assumption that a
business recession means less wants
the gravRst of "many grave mis
takes" made by American ouslness In
the past year, declaring:
Aa a matter of fact, people want
things more - desperately when they
are without the means M buying
them than they do when their pock
ets are lined with money."
As examples, he said, are sevenil
concerns whlci, have successfully
marketed new products during tbo
past year," when everybody was will
ing to sit down, like all the charac
ters In that childhood favorite, 'The
Sleeping Beauty" waiting patiently
for Prince Charming to plant the
Idea of prosperity on the sleeping
beauty of business.
Examples Cited
One firm in particular. Collins de
clared. Is on the way to three million
dollar gross in Its first nine months,
largely through advertising.
"Since most of you are Interested
in the selection of media," he said,
"I might add that approximately 90
per cent of the advertising effort of
the company 1 have described was
through the columns of newspapers.
The choice seems natural enough to
me, since I have always felt that
advertising should aid at two things
simultaneously: Tomorrow's sales
and reputation for the future."

Dead Indian Soda Spring
Link in Pioneer History
By Mrs. Ella D. Tyrrell
DEAD INDIAN SODA SPRING,
June 28. (Spl.) Many times dur
ing the year we are asked to give
the story of the name "Dead In
dian." as applied to this section.
Because of Its value In Oregon
history and also because of Its as
sociation with names Identified with
pioneer days in the Rogue ' River
valley, we believe the story, as re
lated to the writer by a descendant
of one of the leading characters,
will prove of interest.
In 1854 the first wheat crop of
any moment was grown In the Rogue
River valley. As settlers were short
of necessary funds, the financing of
the preparation and marketing of
the crop was taken over by Henry
Ammcrman. early day financier.
Tha wheat was ground into flour
in Ashland, the mill being located
under a large oak tree near the
present entrance of Uthla Park.
Three wagons and eighteen oxen
were secured to transport the flour
to Yreka, the ' nearest market.
Harvey Oatman, father of the late
Elmer Oatman who was for many
years Jackson cbunty fruit Inspector,
was put In charge of the train and
drove the lead wagon.
The other two wagons were driven
by Dan Briton, who later lived for
many years on Wagner Creek, and a
Mr. Livingston.

The exact course taken over the
Siskiyou a is not known, but It is
thought to have been nearly the
same route as that followed by what
was afterward known as the "Dollar
hide Toll Road."
Somewhere near the summit of
the mountains they were a tucked by
a party of renegade Indians.
Mr. Oatman escaped and went on
to Yreka where he sold his load of
flour. .
The other two wagons were taken
by the Indians. Mr. Livingston was
killed, but Mr. Briton escaped and
was later picked up by Mr. Oatman
upon his return to the valley.
The Indians confiscated the oxen,
destroyed the wagons and emptied
the flour upon the ground, retaining
the sacks which seemed to excite
their Interest. Upon the return ot
Oatman and Briton a posse was
organized to track down the ma
rauding Indians.
On the headwaters of what Is now
known as Dead Indian creek they
found the bodies of the attacking
Indians who had been slain In a
battle with other redskins.
The place where the bodies were
found was called "Dead Indian
Prairie." Later the name "Dead In
dian" was . applied to the creek
which drains this area and still
later to the soda spring which la
located on the creek.
