Rustlers Are Doomed
A RREST, confession and sentence of W. R. Gober, all of
which occurred within a peroid of 80 hours, should
ba a warning to the "motorized" cattle rustler that swift
punishment will follow continued livestock depradations
on the Klamath range.
Gober typified the modern rustler as distinguished
from the dare-devil, colorful rustler of pioneer days. In
stead of horse and lariat, he used an automobile and
22 caliber rifle; instead of driving out 50 or 100 in one
fell swoop, he quietly picked off two and three at a time
with his small gun; rather than drive stolen cattle to
a distant point where they would be shipped to some
other part of the country, he butchered the beasts on the
range and brazenly brought them to Klamath Falls to.
slL Somehow we would prefer the cattle rustler of old.
,who, in spite of his faults, was courageous and daring.
It seems to us that the modern rustler is an underhanded
sneak who preys on animals on the range even as
Voracious coyote stalks a young lamb or a vulture feeds
on carrion.
Up until recently, the "motorized" rustler operated
with comparative safety; there appeared to be no sue
cessful means of bringing him to justice.. But that is
changed now cattlemen have banded together in south'
era Oregon and sworn to stamp out the range pirates
Sheriff L. L. Low is doing splendid work in arresting
rustlers and a law was passed at the last session of the
state legislature which will make it harder than ever for
Jthe rustler to market illicit goods.
Sad And Tragic
TJTOW SAD, tragic and terrible were the deaths of John
McMillan and James Parkinson early yesterday at
Bunnell'! camp ground. Noxious fumes of carbon mon
oxide gas, generated from the motor of their car which
they had left idling, snuffed out their' lives as they lay
sleeping in the back seat
The thought or danger never crossed their minds. If
either had ever heard of carbon monoxide gas, it certain
ly never occurred to them early Thursday morning. Their
one thought was rest. The night was chilly, a tangy
i wind blew across the basin and the young men shivered
ta anticipation of a cold night
One of them, probably, suggested pulling up the
windows and letting the engine idle. It seemed like a
good suggestion at the time.
And then John and James curled up together in the
back seat for a short. slumber. They never awoke; the
insidious fumes gradually overcame them and it is quite
likely that they thought the quiet approach of uncon
sciousness was nothing but drowsiness.
Let this tragedy be a lesson to others. Never sleep
In an enclosed car with the engine running; never run
the car In a closed garage for any length of time; al
ways open the windows, open the doors and bring in the
clean pure air to counteract the insidious and fatal gas
EDITORIALS

THE WINNERS tS SPORTS
Chicago Tribune: It la dlffl
nit them days to keep track of
the doing of tha pole vaulters.
It la not so long since a Jump
of thirteen feet waa good enough
to win any Intercollegiate meet.
Now it mar b good for third,
and mar not, depending upon
who la present.
Tha obTloua explanation of the
ability of the Taultera to break
the old recorda la an lmprov
ment In style. Like many other
obTloa explanation, it la not
the tru one. Expert In these
matters aasor na that tha tech
nique of polo Tanking haa not
changed materially. The differ-
once, they aay. Ilea In the size
of tha Tsulters. Tha old theory
was that a pole Taulter had to
ba a little fellow, tor tha smaller
ha waa tha lesa energy required
to hoist him. There waa some
thing wrong with tha theory; as
aoon as bigger men were re
cruited the records began to go.
Pole vaulting now Joins the
other sports in which the good
big man Is better than the good
little one. There Is now no ath
letlc exercise In which a little
man can hope to achieve the
highest competitive honors. He
Is out In football. In baseball, In
basketball. In tennis. The only
place where he still shines la as
a jockey, bat there It Is the
horse that does the work. The
fact that there are atlll some
first rate golfera who weigh In
as lightweights proves only that
Colt la less a sport than a form
of devotion. And even in golf
the good big man can generally
wallop the ball yards farther
than the good little man.
THE LOCUST'S BONO
Pes Molnea Tribune-Cipltal:
The appearance of large num
bers of 17-year locusts this
spring has brought back all the
traditional Interest, which Is In
addition as historical and bibli
cal Interest, In the Insects.
Dr. C. L. Drake, head of the
Insect stndy department at Iowa
Bute college, explains that there
la nothing to do about the locusts
except to wait for them to com
Plate their life cycle and die,
which only takes a few weeks
for the whole generation.
After seventeen years of get
ting ready for life, the Individual
locust Uvea but a few days, says
Dr. Drake. The female devote
themselves to laying eggs, thus
assuring a next generation. The
males do a lot of singing. And
seventeen years after their little
period of living aa completed lo
custs there la - another cracking
of larvel shells and another burst
of male locusts' song.
There are many variations of
what scientists call the life cycle,
the turn of the wheel which con
stitutes a living generation.
The 17-year locust represents
one of the strangest of those
variations.
An Interesting question about
thla locust would be the question
whether bis life cycle Is chang
Ing whether, especially, his per
iod of life aa a completed locust
is getting greater or getting less
or just standing still.
It would take nature a long
time, as man measures time, to
bring about a material change as
to this period of locust life, since
the generations appear at such
long Intervals.
If there were a locust philoso
pher In this 1929 crop, and he
should have to think about It,
he would doubtless be asking
every other locust whether the
race Is really headed anywhere.
Indeed, that, or some question
like It, may be tha burden of
the locusts' song.
