Editorials News of Other Days Place Names Women's Features Crisis at Hand in Shanghai BUT JAPAN'S CONQUEST IS FUTILE Trends of Optimism Seeii Anything May Come Of Situation As these word are written, the Sino Japanese situation, which from its be ginning has had the potentialities of keg of dynamite in a blaring room, teems on the verge of an explosion which may be expected to bring far reaching international reverberations. The conquest of Manchuria appar ently is becoming the conquest of China. At last reports, forty Japanese ships had been massed in the harbor at Shanghai. Two thousand Japanese ma rines had rolled into the Chinese quar ters with orders to clear out what Chinese soldiers might be found there. Fighting had broken out on the edge of the international settlement at Shanghai, where there are American, British and French soldiery, stationed there to protect the nationals of these countries. About Shanghai are said to be 24,000 Chinese troops. - These factors constitute a military situation from which, in view of the bitter anti-Japanese feeling among the Chinese, anything may develop. The proximity of the international settle ment to the scene of action brings the Sino-Japanese imbroglio closer home than at any time thus far. The Japanese action toward Shang hai is interpreted as an effort to shake down, by main force, or show of force, the Chinese boycott of Japanese pro ducts. For this boycott, the Japanese have their Manchurian conquest to blame. Japan is in no position to with stand the effects of such a boycott She must have the Chinese market And yet Mayor Wu of Shanghai poke the real truth of the matter when he said, after capitulating to the de mands of the Japanese ultimatum con cerning dissolution of anti-Japanese societies, that he could not make the Chinese buy Japanese goods. That goes for the whole situation. Japan will find it a mighty task .to force 400,000.000 people to buy Japanese goods if they do not want to. Thus, we find Japan seemingly em barked on a conquest of futility, yet risking for herself the condemnation of the world, and risking for the world the far-reaching evils of another war. Senor Francisco Arroyo, a year ago chef to the king of Spain, is now in charge of a soup kitchen for the job less in Madrid.

He found, he said, a belt of optimism, right through the country in which he was traveling, until he reached the far west. In the industrial east and in the agricultural midwest things seemed definitely to be looking up. But when he came west from Denver, there be came evident a tendency toward de cided pessimism. These observations seem to bear out the theory of some that just as the de cline of 1929 began in the east and was not seriously felt for months later in the far west, the wave of recovery, when it comes, may be expected to be gin in the east and sweep slowly west ward. The business structure of the country seems to provide basis for such a situation. That this report of a growing opti mism in the east was quite correct is indicated in the monthly review of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, which states that there is a perceptible improvement in business sentiment, evident since the beginning of the year. The review says that the cheerful tone is not based on any sweeping change in underlying factors, but it is there, just the same. There are, however, cer tain things which are considered favor able. The administration's reconstruc tion program and the willingness of the opposition in congress to cooperate in any constructive plan for business revival, are, to our mind, encouraging factors. As for the idea that we on the coast will be the last to feel the recov ery (whether the present flare of favor able sentiment is significant or not), there are in this certain comforting thoughts. It seems improbable that the . slump can carry in the west to the low level it reaches in the east. It is in the massed industrial areas where a paraly sis of business and industry bring the greatest misery and suffering and where the spirit is most likely to reach its low est ebb. It will take long, hard times to sink the west to the depths reached in the east. If the upturn starts in the east before we reach those depths, chances are we never shall. That re covery may begin in the east is entirely s probable, but it is also probable that any tangible, definite upturn in the east reported in the west by news and by a demand for western products, will bring an early and favorable reaction out where tne west oegins. Remembrances of a Pioneer By Jew A. Jobxtso WHAT prompts me to writ thii letter la the thoughts of the days gone by, when this Klamath country was a wilderness, com pared with the Taut developments of today. At this time of year one's thoughts are of the fine roads we hava at present, com pared with the eow trails we had In the '90 s which were celled roads. I can well remember in those daya when It was a big day's Job to go to town and back In one day, and sometimes we did not make It In one day, and living at no great distance, either. I remember once In the winter of '! and '(4, when Urine not a great distance from where I do now. we did not make it In one day, which, with cars, I make to day in a tew minutes. It is the same In Klamath Falls, with her pared streets; Llnkrille In those days was hub deep In mire to the old freight wagons snd stage coaches of those days. There was not much of a town in those days, but It was all we had, and thanks and kind remembrances ot those pioneers wbo laid the first corner stones on tue bsnks ot the rirer, Resmes and Martin, whose land marks still stand, and the ranch where I was born In the '80s. Mr. Reames. Mr. Martin, Uncle Jerry, as lots ot people knew and called him; the Baldwins, the Moorea, and Thomas Martin, the miller. These pioneers had much to do with the building ot Klamath Falls, and the development of the Klamath country, but there are others who hsd a hand In the de velopment ot this great empire ot ours. Some of these were the Apple- gates, Snooks, Van Brimmers, Col vells, Whltneys and the Stukles. There were others that were plo- ,.n anil developers of tnis em' pire of ours, but I will not take ,m tn mention them all. but these pioneers who came and left their monuments of toll and strife .uk . and a nsth to IOIIOW in the future, because a future of tbis country these pioneers must It must be remembered that all pioneers that came to the land of Milk and noney oia nui u..,.,reil maralv built a founds- tlon In some sane brush clearing and left. It was tough old times to slay In those aays, witu uu .nil railroads 75 and 100 miles away, but the strong-hearted stayed, and left landmarks of their stay. The most of tnem were engsged in farming. Thou- aands of fat cattle have tramped those trails to far-away shipping points, and many Is the herd I have helped punch to those ship ping points. One of these pio neers who had great visions ot the future of the Klamath coun try, and one who left monuments ot his toil while here, was the late J. Frank Adams, coming to this country at the time of the Modoc war. A young vaquero at that time, and one who I think num bers among some of the greatest vaqueroea of all time, as I hsve seen and rode with some of tbe best in "the game. These men were not the moving picture cow boys ot today, but the cowmen of days gone by. Mr. Adams seen great futures In this wilderness country in those days, but It did not daunt him. A breeder of fine horses, and a lover of them, which was a grest business before tbe coming of the gasoline wagon, be not only raised good stock, but saw great futures In agriculture as well. His monuments of toll stand as evidence ot his faith in the fu ture of Klamath, the country be loved to call hia home. Borne of these pioneer families' children were the first children born In the Klamath country. The Colwell and Btuckles were the first. I believe John Holwell was the first white child born in the Klamath country. The ranch where he was bora was one of the favorite camping grounds of the Modoc Indians, who were camped there at the coming of the white men who were seemng oaths for the pioneers to follow, where Fremont and Applegate crossed Lost River the Indian rancharle tn those days, and now a potato patch, growing Hue Klamath Gem potatoes. In those days of cow ponies. Immigrant wagons and stags coach, reeking over the cow trails was a great contrast com Dared with the pres. ent day. ot our fine roads, fast moving can and railroads roaring through the country. The present day haa caused lots ot us to for get the tolls and hardships tnose pioneers went through. People are now speaking of depressions, but this Is no depression todsy compared with thoso dsys: they were depressions at their best. I could write volumes along these lines, but I am not going to take up apace to do so. Borne may say that my story Is from oh serrations. To some extent It Is, but I ssw some tough times bsck In the '90s. My hauled freight from the Sacra- mento valley to Fort Klamath when it was a government post Mv mother, being a pioneer ol the '70s, I feel that I have some knowledge of Klamatn nisiory and its development. What oromDta me most to write this letter is the great development of the Klamath country and those early pioneers who suffered hard ships and privations that it might be so. In tnese aays we can op pression, let ns not forget our pioneers. From one woo naa noi iwiui- ten.

Weather bureau ARTICLE IV A atsndard dictionary defines 1 cloudburst as "a sudden copi ous rainfall, as If the whole cloud hsd seen precipitated at one time. Aa a matter ot fact. It a cloud ot the' largest else were, by a miracle, precipitated at ane time, coming down at the maximum speed ot falling raindrops. It would not cause a torrential shower, such as la roramouly des cribed aa a cloudburst: but of coume the comparatively smsll amount ot water In the clouds was not realised by our ancestors. who believed that clouds some times actually burst and dis charged their entire watery load at once upon tbe earth. This idea la learnedly est forth In a quaint little Herman work by Christian Welse, published In 1701. as wall a In many later works. The earlier scientific attempts to account for the tremendous downpours to which the nsine cloudburst" Is applied assumed thst the water was due to rapid condensation In the vortex ot a tornado or waterspout, and hence the name "waterspout" was for nierly ottea applied to a cloud burst, even when It occurred far tram any body ot water. The rainfall attending a tor nado la doubtedness sometimes of cloudburst Intensity, but the ma jority ot cloudbursts are now be lieved to be the product of thun derstorms. Violent aprushing cur rents of air always occur at the front of aa advancing thunder storm. Moisture In the air drawn Into the storm by these currents condenses as it rises, on account ot the cooling of the air by ex pansion, but the upward blast Is so strong thst for a time the water la prevented from falling aa rain. It the rising currents are weak ened at some point, a large ac cumulation ot water Is permitted to fell at one time. This is espe cially likely to occur when a traveling thunderstorm, which Is fed by rising streams of sir from overheated ground, pannes over the cooler aurfsce ot a mountain, so thst tho supply ot warm air la temporarily cut off. This would explsln ths speclsl frequency ot eoludbursts In mountainous re gions. St. Elmo's Fin which Is also called corposants, and by several other namee Is one ot the mys terious phenomena of the atmosphere. Ample and accurate Informa tion la to be found in compara tively few scientific books, and the majority of these are In foreign language. The phenom enon has been known, to men. kind from remote antiquity and is fsr from rsre. yet It is likely that not one person In 10,v00 has ever witnessed It. St. Elmo's fire Is a first cousin of lightning. It occurs chiefly in thundery weather and is a brush discharge of electricity, in the shape of small jets and flames, chiefly from pointed ob jects. Including lightning rods, tbe mans and spars of vessels, tbe angles of roofs, etc Tbe discharge Is accompanied by a hissing or crackling sound, which is sometimes heard In the daytime, when the "tire"ltaeif la invisible on account of Its com paratively feeble luminosity. The discbsrge also occurs la snow storms and dust storms. Since most of the well-known descriptions of 8L Elmo's fire re late to its appearance at sea, tbe Impression prerails, outside ot scientific circles, that it la exclu sively or chiefly a marine phe nomenon. As a matter of fact, however. It is much more com mon and also more striking in its manifestations on mountains than anywhere else. In this country It Is well known on ths higher slopes ot the Rockies and tbe Sierras. It occurs, however, on low lands as well as In mountainous regions, and in all latitudes. The Egyptisn pyramids are occasion ally adorned with It, and some brilliant displays have been seen during billiards In the Antarctic At sea the discharges some times take the form ot one or two star-like objects at the trucks of the masts or the tips ot the yardarms, but occasionally the spars, rigging and other parts of the ship are lighted up with a great number of stationary or moving flames, producing a weird spectacle. Many superstitions concerning these lights have pre vailed among sailors. SIDE GLANCES By (korgt Clark "You'll find.

If Chicago had today the same ty phoid rale that existed In lso. It would hare approximately 60,. 000 cases of typhoid each year instead of less I ban 100. With thst amount of typhoid, there would be, of coursb, a serious mortality. But the matters of typhoid con tinues to exist aa long as tlnre are persnua who carry about the germs of the disease and who do not tske measures to prevent dlasemlnstlon of germs Into food and water where they msy multi ply and bring about epidemics. In a recent discussion ot the subject. Dr. Jamas U. Cummlug. chief of the Bureau of 1'reveut ahle Dlsea.es In the United States Army Medical Corps, pointed out that the last typhoid outbreak ot importance In this country was due to Just such an Incident. In 111, 400 people attended a church supper. Forty-four ol these people developed typhoid and four died. An Investigation revested thst potsto salsd bad beeu eaten by all who were taken sick and was Indeed tbe only food at the table that was eateu by all of those who were taken sick. The dress ing used in the salad was elimi nated from suspicion bereuse It bad been boiled. It was found thst four women hsd prepared the sslsd, peeling snd slicing the boiled potatoes while still wsrra. After the po tatoes were peeled and diced, they were put away In pans cov ered with towels until the next (lay. In this suitable atmosphere the typhoid germ, deposited on the potatoes by two of the four women who bad peeled tbera, de veloped In such nunibere as to cause typhoid fever In 44 people who ate the potato salad. One ot these two women bad had typhoid fever II years be fore and In the Intervening period there had been alx rsaes of ty phoid In her imtuedlste family. Both ot these woman were sgsin examined In 1117, whereas tbe epldemlo occurred In ll!, and they were found still to bare In their bodies trpbold bacilli which were eliminated In their excretions.
