That the bureau still has the matter under study is shown by the request to the house subcommittee on interior department appro priations for $170,000 to enable continuation of the study. THE Columbia baslp, with its enormous excess of water, is the only known souce of water needed in California and neighboring states, a memorandum from the bureau explained. It will be a year or two before a report can be made to congress. In the meantime there will be no information given out as to possible routes for the proposed diversion, said the bureau in making the study fund request. i T WAS also stated that of the Quantity of water but it was said that it would be very small compared with the 170 million acre feet of water which is an nually discharged by the Columbia into the saline embrace of the Pacific ocean at Astoria. E.C.F. Early Oregon Printing A commission was appointed in 1855 to meet in Jacksonville and review property destroyed by the during the war of 1853. Handbills broadcast at the time are among the interesting items described in "Oregon Imprints," a bibliography of material print ed in Oregon from 1847 to 1870, just issued by the University of Oregon Press. Author and compiler of the book was the late Douglas C. McMurtrie, noted typographer and bibliophile. His work was carefully revised bv his associate. Albert H.

AMONG printed material described are several other items of interest in Southern Oregon. There is, for instance, the listing of Jackson county and state candidates for the 1862 election. The list was carried in a copy of the Jacksonville Civilian, published by S. H. Jenner at Jacksonville in May, 1862. The Civil ian was short lived, however, as it suspended publica tion at the end of that May. CXCERPTS from H. D. Sheldon's History of the University of Oregon reveal that "in 1851 the (university) location was given to Marysville, now Corvallis. . . In 1854 a board of commissioners re ceived a gift of five acres, advertised for bids, ac cumulated building materials and other assets worth 2,877.20, all for the benefit of the Marysville loca tion. But the very next year, the university was re located at Jacksonville in Southern Oregon. A year later the legislature repealed this act. . ." e e e e e IMPRINTS also refer to a catalogue gotten out by one of Ashland's pioneer business concerns, the Tolman and Blake Nursery. The booklet, listing fruit trees, was from the press of the Table Rock Sentinel of Jacksonville. Another reference to the Jacksonville Sentinel tells of a poster issued on October 6, 1866, by the board of trustees inviting proposals for building a bridge across Rich Gulch on the Applegate road. e e e e e "THE overland mail route to California from.Port- land, passing through all important mining cen ters of Southern Oregon and Northern California, was advertised July 19, 1866 by posting of cards which sported a large woodcut of a stage with gal loping horses. According to the "Imprints" descrip tion of the card, the stages from Portland connected with the railroad at Oroville for Sacramento. The journey, which required six days, cost $50. e e e e e "NE of the most interesting items described is a circular published June 7, 1847 by James V. Nesmith at Oregon City. The circular was issued as an answer to J. Quinn Thornton, in the controversy over Thornton's denunciation of the southern Oregon or Applegate immigrant route. Nesmith's circular declares that : "J. Quinn Thornton, having resorted to low, cowardly and dishonorable means, for the purpose of Injuring my character and standing, and having refused honorable satis faction, which I have demanded: I avail myself of this op- fiortunity of publishing him to the world as a rcclaimless iar. an Infamous scoundrel, a blark hearted villinn. an ar rant coward, a worthless vagabond and an Imported mis creant, a di.vgrnce to the profession and a dishonor to his country."

Quite A Folio The youngest looking actor who has been on the stage 50 years is undoubtedly Reginald Denny. Still Reggie isn't so aged. He started his acting career in London at the age of eight. His father, W. H. Denny, was a well known member of the original Gilbert and Sullivan Opera com pany. Reggie first really hit the limelight when he was starred in a series of films about a boxer titled "The Leather Pushers." Remember that series? If you don't you certainly are not elig ible for the Young (Jin Timers. In addition to his stage and screen achievements. Denny was long interested in the manufac ture of miniature airplanes. He is also credited with having de veloped the first non-man-carry ing radio controlled aeroplane. Get It Right "There seems to be much con fusion as to the appearance of that character of the old West known as Calamity Jane," writes a California subscriber "I knew Calamity Jane person ally in the early nineties and have her picture before me.

This comment is inspired by learning that in some of the advertisements of the film 'The Heiress," the pic- j ture of one of the featured play- k r pari caning ior the wear mg of a beard. The eli minnl inn of Sir Ralph's photograph was made on the grounds that "whisk ers are box office poison insofar as women are concerned." This brings to mind that several vears ago Clark Gable was asked to play a part which called for his wearing a beard. Mr. Gable strongly objected, saving: "Wom en don't like whiskers."

A -9 L A Nichc-l.' Worth of Comment On By HARMAN United Preae Washington, March 1-4U.R) The sow, or mama hog, is a dumb critter. She feeds her young, but ts just line her, often as not, to roll over on the lit ter and take a nap, particu larly if it's cold in the hog house. Such a roll can keep a lot of pork chops and pickled p i g's feet from get tine to market. y Us.rmj.rj Nlehola General Electric thinks it has solved the dilemma of the sow, with no help from her. It has devised a gimmick which it calculates will grow more, rather than fewer pigs, by the simple process of saving the lives of those which are born in the first place. If you follow me. The G.E. experts figured that if the sow gets chilly so do the little pigs. They figured if mama and the pigs were in a place that was warm, more of the little ones would grow up to make fine ba con, pork cnops or lams. Ghost Of Niles Canyon Takes To Heels As Officers Fire Shots Oakland. Cel.. March 1 (U.R) The ghost of Niles creek can 'yon stopped walking yesterday and began to run when police men fired two shots into the air. About 20 years ago, a girl mysteriously disappeared in the east bay canyon and legend has it that since then, at mid night of February 27. the ghost of the girl walks through the canyon. About 30 citizens, plus Dep uty Sheriffs William Rote and Ed Parom, were on hand last ' night at Stonybrook park trestle when the witching hour arrived. Sure enough, a fig ure garbed in white strolled down the railroad tracks and glided out on the trestle. The deputies, being practical men, fired two shots into the air. The ghost, also being prac tical, ran pellmell to the dep uties and surrendered. Depu ties said the ghost was a man, but refused to reveal his name. The Grange Roxy Ann Grange At last regular meeting of Roxy Ann Grange Valentine's day was celebrated in fitting style.

A duet by Donna Lou Phnister and partner preceded the lecturer's program, arranged by Caroline Wolfe, lecturer. Refreshments were served by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hoover. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Peacher and Mr. and Mrs. Upp. Next regular meet ing will be held Friday evening, March 3. A special program of square dance instruction has been arranged for this night with uon iveal presiding over program. Ihe ma Adri 214 r. Main This and Thai W. NICHOLS Feature Wrltau There were all sorts of experi ments and the electricians final ly came up with some heat lamps. It was a simple thing, really. They are the same kind of lamps we use around the house to take the ache out of sore shoulders after a rough game of handball and used to thaw the water pipes in- the basement. Put the same lamps In the pig brooder and what do you get more piggies surviving. The same sort of treatment can be used in the hen house, the lamb shed, and the cow barn to pro tect the young of each. In cases where the heat lamps are used, according to Joseph P. Ditchman. farm lighting special ist for GE. an average of IV2 pigs per litter are saved. Pig Saved It Money Saved Ditohman reasons it like this: A sow farrows early In the spring and averages six to eight pigs to the litter. A utter of five just about breaks even on the open market. Profits to the man in overalls come on all over five pigs. It taKf." f "it 140 pounds of feed to b: pig to market age. A pig .- ..1 .'s a lot of mon ey saved. And the more pigs on the mar ket, the less city folks have to pay for a slice of ham. As for the farmers: Heated brooders, according to Ditchman, are easy to build and don't cost much. They consist of a boarded-off corner of the far rowing pen. You can cut a front opening about eight inches high big enough to let a pig in. Lamp Attached To Roof A heat lamp can be attached to the roof, about 16 to 36 inches above the ground. The electric light company will tell you that a pig brooder consumes about 36 kilowatt hours of electric power per lit ter. That is from the time a pig is born until it's big enough to go out and risk a bad cold. The department of agriculture says that pig brooder research and development have been go ing on for a long time, among state colleges and experiment stations and power suppliers. You don't have to sing to a pig to keep it happy. Keep it warm. Forestry Bureau To Open Bids On Planting Bonds Salem.
