Medford Pastor Recalls Visit
To Oregon Caves 20 Years Ago
Oregon Cve, Ose., July 13. (Spl The Reverend Joseph
Knott, for eight years pastor of the First Methodist church
In Medford, visited the Oregon Caves national monument
July 11. twenty years after his first call.
Bill Green and Donald De-
Witt, also of Medford, accom
panied him but they traveled
In quite a different fashion from
the way Rev. KnotU and two
high school boys did 20 years
ago.
"We started on a Monday
morning," said the minister.
"Since there was no road, we
hiked 10 miles over the moun
tain on the Williams creek
trail."
Reverend KnotU continued
that It was the hottest day of
the year, in July or August.
The boys were nearly doubled
over with packs and hiked slow
ly, but they arrived at camp
at 6:00 o clock In the evening
after a nine-hour trip.
- "The only dwelling on the
present site of the beautiful,
rustic chateau was a tent oc
cupied by Dick Rowley, the
guide," he said.
Two boys from Portland had
arrived just ahead of the group
and all of the boys wanted to
go into the caves at once. But
the veteran guide made a dicker
with them. , He said if they
would each carry two pealed
poles Into the caves to make
ladders, he would take them in
at 8:00 o'clock that evening.
Making camp- In the place
which Is now used for parking
grounds, the hungry group
made their beds and got their
supper over a campfire.
Later in the evening they
took their poles and two can
dles apiece, and entered the cav
erns. "The well lighted, graveled,
and chiseled caves of today are
far different from the caves In
those days," the pastor said.
"We had to crawl through
'wiggle holes' not more than
two feet high, where Jagged
formations hung down from the
ceiling and rose from the floor,
and In getting through we had
to drag our poles and carry our
candle In front of us, taking
care not to blow them out."
The trip through the marble
caverns lasted three and a half
hours at that time. Reverend
Knotts laughed as he told how
they used to step into water
holes up to their shoe tops.
"Each time I return to the
Oregon Caves I am amazed at
the changes and Improvements,
to my mind always comes the
picture of that wild, seldom
visited place where we camped
in the open country and cooked
over a campfire."

Havana. July IS. (IP) Ful
genclo Batista, who once gained
a narrow fame as the best
stenographer in the Cuban
army, appeareq today to have
won election as president of his
country.
In voting yesterday, marked
by scattered violence in which
five persons were killed, Ba

better, margin of victory over
former President Dr. Ramon
Grau San Martin.
In 1,574 precincts out of the
island's 3,590, Batista had 239,

of the city's 844 precincts.
The president-elect is sched

Britain is ready, Churchill

Holy Land Bombed
Bombs fell in the Holy Land
in its first raid of the war to
day when "enemy" planes pre
sumably Italian dropped explo
sives at Haifa, a seaport of British-mandated
Palestine. Several
casualties resulted.
In the sharpening conflict in
Africa, the British garrison at
Moyale, Kenya colony, besieged
by Italian troops since last Wed
nesday, was reported still hold
ing out despite heavy bombard
ment day and night.
The Italian high command, co
incidcntly, asserted two British
submarines and a destroyer were
sunk in week-end naval opera
tions in the Mediterranean, and
also claimed 10 British planes
were shot down and that Italian
planes machine-gunned British
troops near Buna, East Africa.
The German high command
reported bombing attacks on
British port facilities, airports
and armament Industries.
i ires and explosions were ob
served, the communique said,
particularly at Faversham.
which served as a secret base
for British "Q-boats anti-submarine
craft, often disguised as
fishing boats in the world war.
Nazi planes slashed at British
convoys in the English channel,
the high command reported, and
sank three merchantmen total
ling 17,000 tons. A British de
stroyer, an auxiliary cruiser and
four other merchant ships were
also reported damaged by
bombs.
2.500.000 Men Ready
Commenting on the prospect
of a Nazi invasion, Prime Minis
ter Churchill said the island fort
ress now has 2.500,000 men on
the alert to repel any attack
1,500,000 regulars and 1,000,000
home guardsmen.
Such an attempt may come at
any moment, he asserted, but he
suggested Hitler's plans may
well have been upset by the
progress which Britain has made
in the past four weeks In arming
lor acicnse.
The German radio responded
almost immediately to Churchill,
declaring that while the attack
upon x.ngiana mignt not come
"this week nor next" it could
be regarded as an ultimate cer
tainty.
Although bombs were dropped
at several points in England
again last night, British said
dumage was slight.
In the battle over the Straits
of Dover the British reported
their fighters shot down seven
German planes and drove the re
mainder of a large nazi forma
tion out to sea with the bombs
still In their racks.
TURKEY STORAGE
HEAVY IN SPITE
OF
Holdings On July 1 More
Than Double Volume in
1939 and 5-Year Average
San Francisco, July IS. (IP)
Although consumption of tur
keys was unusually heavy, cold
storage holdings in the nation
on July 1 were much greater
than in recent years, the depart
ment of agriculture reported to
day.
Storage holdings totaled 36,
739.000 pounds, more than
double the volume in 1939 and
the July 1 average of the past
five years.
Consumption in June reduced

pared with only 41,000 pounds
in June, 1939, and an average
June reduction of .870,000
pounds.
The total dressed poultry
holdings in the country amount
ed to 82,389,000 pounds, 22 per
cent more than a year ago, and
43 per cent more than the July

try holdings in the Pacific sec
tion was 9,404,000 pounds, of

SETS OFF FIRST

tion indicated that momentous
matters were not discussed. The
White House said Mr. Roosevelt
wished Farley a successful con
vention without saying for
whom.
Farley said it was Just a "rou
tine" conversation.
Farley's hat still is In the ring,
regardless of the fact that the
Roosevelt third termers have
full steam up. He said today that
he was "playing my side of the
street" and it was plain enough
that Farley's street had no third
term signs on the guideposts.
The demonstration was
touched off by Mayor Edward
J. Kelly of Chicago a front
runner In the Roosevelt third
term drive.
Welcoming delegates to Chi'
cago wmcn ne described as a
"city of liberals" he ended his
address with a brief eulogy of
me president.
Hits at Willkle
"Each presidential candidate
has the stamina and vision to
carry the democratic party to
victory. We are praying and
hoping that a man who can keep
the White House as the light
house of humanity will accept
the crushing burden for the next
four years.
"We are praying for a man
who has given his life and blood,
who may be crucified but never
corrupted.
"Destiny rests in one man be
cause of his experience.
"That is why I am praying
that this convention will stand
with all the courage of our
hearts and confirm again that
God-sent guardian of our liber
ties, the kind of man our coun
try needs, our beloved Presi
dent, Franklin D. Roosevelt."
Kelly also aimed a few shafts
in the general direction of the
republican opposition and the
republican nominee, Wendell L.
Willkie.
"We can smell organized pro
paganda," he said. "We can spot
the false prophets of democracy
no matter what mask they
wear."
Cheers interrupted him.
In Chicago, he told the dele
gates, "you will not find any
Morgan shadows at your heels.
Chicago is not concerned with
the Wall Street propaganda
which would poison the blood
stream of our youth.
"Chicago wants no revolution
to the right or to the left."
