ponement of tho show-down which,
In our opinion, Is hound to como."
The method proposed by Fuel Ad
ministrator Unrllold, the statement
said, "was Interfered with by gov
ernment olllclals who know Ilttlo of

ed Mlno Workers of America."

WARDEN ASKS
FEED FOR GAME
Tho Herald Is in receipt of a tele
gram from Carl D. Shoemaker,
state gamo warden, dated December
10, and delayed two days In delivery
by the storm, in which he says:
I urge all good citizens and
sportsmen to assist in feeding and
taking enre of gamo birds during
tbo storm. The fish and game
department will go fifty-fifty with
all sportsmen's Organizations In
paIng for feed. Immediate feed
ing Is necessary If much of our
wild bird life is to bo conserved.
C. F. Stone, tho local member of
th state fish and game commission,
said todo-y that except for quail,
which would probably need feeding.
Klamath County -gamo would not
be seriously affected by the snow.
Qunll last year Increased largely
and the flocks are widely scatter
ed nnd likely to suffer if left to
their own deIces In foraging.
The Chinese pheasants are less
afraid of man nnd take care of the
food question by resorting to farm
yards and stack bottoms and help
ing themselves. Tho quail are more
shy In tills resuect.
Henry Stout, local gamo warden,
expected to leave today for Fort
Klamath to see how the elk herd
on Sevon-mllo creek Is standing tho
winter. A fund of $500 was raised
recently to buy hay for the elk and
tho hay was secured and taken to
their range, so no anxiety Is felt
for their welfare.

'TANK" EXPERT
MEETS NEW ONE
PARIS, Nov. 24. (By Mall).
General Estienne was racing down
the Chantllly road a few days ago
when the chauffeur had to bring the
automobll eto a sudden stop to avoid
running down a pedestrian who was
zigzaglng across the road. Com
mandant Keller, who was with the
general, descended from the car and
admonished the Imprudent wayfarer.
He proved to be a corporal of the
88th Infantry, nnd very drunk. He
was also very pugnacious, as he
promptly- punched the commandant
In the face.
Before the court-martial the cor
poral presented such a poor defense
that spectators thought he would re
ceive a stiff sentence. General Esti
enne intervened in his behalf, saying
the corporal probably "could not see
the stars on tho commandant's uni
form," although "other stellar con
stellations might have bee nvislble
to him." The corporal escaped with
three months and General Estienne
asked that the law of amnesty be ap
plied.
General Estienne Is the inventor
of French armored cars and is con
sidered as one of tho greatest living
experts on "tanks."

LIQUOR SEIZED
rt,t-f
'.-.
GLOBE, Ariz., Dec. 12. The
recent raid which operators of tho
federal department of Justice made
in this district against alleged
violators of the war time prohibition
statutes, netted the officers nearly
ten thousand gallons of home made.
Ulquor, the beverage, recording to
current "bootleg" prices, being
worth something like $100,000.
The, raid was considered one of
the biggest "scoops" ever made by
the department of justice in any
part of the United States, more than
115 federal warrants being served
against the alleged law breaker!,
and 57 "search and seizure"
warrants being used. Fifty one
persons were arrested many of them
being foreign born residents of the
district who are employed In the
copper mines here. Bonds in each
case were fixed in the sum of $'300.
In one building raided, thirteen
barrels of Illicit brew were
discovered, and at another stop
made by the officers, nine barrels
of claret wine were uncovered. The
chemist who made a subsequent
analysis of the. wine stated that
some of it was superior to the
finest imported artlclo. United
States Deputy Marshal Frank
Hayes, who had charge of the raid,
had considerable difficulty in find
ing a warehouse large enough to
hold all the contraband liquor.

vis are serving as special policemen,

MEDFORD, Ore., Dec. 12. For
36 hours Medford has been cut off

weather experienced in the city's
history. Telegraph and power lines
Are out of commission. No papers

PORTLAND, Dec. 12. The
Williamette river is frozen for the
! third time In the memory of white
men. The thermometer dropped,
to two degrees above zero this
inorning.
Telegraphic communications withe
th outside world, cut off for two
days by storm damage to wires and
poles, wafs resumed this morning.
The telephone company's long dis
tance wires to Medford and Lake
view were still down today but re-
pair men were hunting the breaks
and" with favorable weather condi
tions expected to faaVe the wines
working again today. The heavy,
snowfall makes traveling hard and.
for "trouble-shooters" are forced to
proceed slowly. "'
Don Beldlng, local Western
Union manager, said that wires to
the north were not working, and
messages to Portland are sent from
San Francisco by way of Salt Lake
Meager Information at hand in
dicates that the storm damage was
heaviest in the upper Wllllametta
line valley, with the trouble zone
extending south to Dunsmulr, Cali
fornia. The lpcal Southern Pacific
office stated that It had'' little in
formation at, noon .regarding main
line train movements. No. 13, the
Portland-San ' Francisco passenger
train which connects at Weed with
the local branch, was running two
hours behind schedule, but will get
through and apparently the line Is
open.
It is understood that snowslldes
In Cow Creek canyon blocked
southbound trains and there has
been little movement from that dir
ection for the last two days. As far
as the point of blockade, however,
trains from the souh were kfcpt
moving with some regularity. v
Today's favorable weather Is ex
pected to go far toward straighten
ing out the kinks in both wire and
Tallway service.
The local reclamation service this
morning reported the minimum tem
perature during the night at two
degrees below zero.
COYOTES RAID SHEEP
HELENA, Mont., Da.c. (12. Un
seasonable and abnormally heavy
snows have driven coyotes from the
hljlls and they are making deter
mined raids on sheop in which losses
are extreme .according to reports.
One wner near Melrose, In Silver
Bow country, reports the death of
50 sheep. K
The snow Is too deep for success
ful pursuit of coyotes and Is not
crusted thickly enough for trapping.
Feed has been scarce and now is
almost gone and th eweakened game
fall easy prey to the coyotes. There
is a movement to provide a ' pro
tected range for antelope. M
