1 thorough mixture of tha strains of tha Viking Norsemen,
with not ' little of the Spanish. (
A pool named Davis put it this way:
As Nubian rocks and Ethlou tend
Long drifting down tlja Nllo,
Built up old Eqypt's fsrtile land
For many a hundred milo:
So Pagan clans to Ireland came,
And Clans of Christendom,
Yet joinod thoir wisdom and their fame
To build a nation from.
Here came the brown Phoenician,
Tha man of trade and toll.
Hare came the proud Milesian,
Hungering for spoil;
And the Fllhorg, and he Cymry,
. A And the hard, enduring Dane,
And the Iron lords of Normandy
With Saxons In their train.
Ganoologists are ablo to trace old Irish families back to
the Milov'uns, one of tho more cultured peoples of ancient
Europe. The Milesians originated In Scythia and migrated to
Egypt and Spain before coming to Ireland at about 1000
. B.C. King Milelus ruled Galicia fn Spain at the time a famine
forced his eight sons out to seek their fortunes elsewhere,
and they invaded And settled Ireland. One, named Eremon,
became the first king of that country and 116 of his descend
ants were on the Irish throne up until the advent of Saint
.Patrick.
Christianity In Ireland Is attributed to the work of Saint
Patrick and it is his birhday, March 17, which has become
accepted practically the world over as the day of the rlsh.
So basically the day is one of religious observance, though
In latter times it has been corrupted into a day of celebra
tion instead. ,
Christianity was introduced Into Ireland In the Fifth
Century whan Pope Celostine sent in a bishop. Sometime
later Patrick, a consocrated bishop, was sent to the country
as a missionary and he accomplished the principal work of
conversion and organization.
Saint Patrick, it would seem, then, wasn't an Irishman.
History relates that the town of Killpatrick, in Scotland,
probably was his birthplace, although he may have originally
been a native of France.
But he became the Irish patron saint. And it's this day
the Irish celebrate.

a yellow capsule and a razor blade
were found In Mrs. Machaud's cot
ulthouuh she had been searched
alter being taken off an eastbound
train by FBI agents Sunday after
noon. Mrs. Machaud began screaming
In French and English in her cell
Monday morning.
Officers observed the effects of
the sleeping pills when they tried
to question her. She was so drousy
that they could get little out of
her.
"We did all this lor revenge,
was her only coherent statement
reported bv Sheriff Francis.
When FBI agents arrested Mrs.
Machaud, she had in her posses
sion $50,000 in cash, 28 pieces of
Jewelry and a package of securi
ties. Mrs. Machaud was charged with
Interstate transportation of stolen
property. Her bond was set at 1100,-
000.
At Reno, La Verne Redfleld said
he was "shocked and greatly up-
net" at her arrest.
He said she had been a guest in
his home many limes and he
"trusted her Implicitly."
The blue-eyed French-Canadian
writer-artist is the sixth person ar
rested in connection with the Feb.
29 burglary. Four are men, two
women.

She was arraigned on charges of
conspiring to transport stolen goods
across state lines. Bail was set
at (100,000.
The 150,000 which FBI agents
said she carried was the biggest
piece of loot yet reported recov
ered. Arresting agents made no esti
mate of the value of securities or
Jewelry she carried.
Redfleld reported 8300,000 cash,
some $250,000 in jewelry and si,
000.000 to S2.000.000 In securities

Gerald Norris, chief FBI agent
In Arizona, said the securities
found in Mrs. Machaud's posses
sion consisted of 179.721 shares
of stock in 67 corporations, "some
of which are very substantial com
panies." Norris said the Jewelry Included
a diamond and emerald piece val
ued at $1,000, a necklace of 75
K earls valued at $10,000 a diamond
aguette valued at $2,600 and a
diamond ring valued at $3,150.
Alost simultaneously with her ar
rest, agents hoisted the safe from
a well concealed mine shaft in
desolate country near Reno. It was
smashed and empty.
The safe had been stolen In a
noontime burglary. Invetigating of
ficers said the safe stealers un
questionably had inside informa
tion. The safe was well hidden, the
burglary was timed while the Red
fields were at lunch, and the watch
dog was pacified with a ham bone.

Deer Sticking
Close To Road
Take a good look now, hunters,
cause they're a lot harder to see
come hunting season.
We're talking about deer. Right
now the deer population in lew val
leys of the Basin area as probably
as high as Its been in years. Late
last week an estimated 300 deer
could be counted from highway
139 without even slowing down.
Sunday their numbers were still
tn the hundreds.
Game experts say the high con
centration is due to the deeper
snows in higher elevations. The ani
mals congregate in open, snow
cleared areas and feed like cattle.
Automobiles don't even bother
them at this time of year. They're
too busy finding scant forage. They
graze within a few feet of the
pavement.
The grazing area easily seen
from the highway begins along the
highway south of Tulelake and con
tinues on past Peres. Again, on
highway 299 west of Alturas, heavy
feeding is underway.
As the heavy snowlines recede,
so will the deer. At present, their
condition isn't tops, but whose
would be after a winter of scrap
ing for food.

Irish Keep
St. Patrick's
Memory Green
By MICK ROONEY
DUBLIN. Ireland W St. Pat
rick was a dacent man, the ballad
says, and came Irom the dacent
people.
And even he couldn't have had
a word to say against the way his
memory was kept green by every
man in Dublin this blessed day.
There was a big parade and
enough shamrock on hats and la
pels to make a carpet the long
length of O'Connell street. But ev
erybody was wen-oenavea as a
young gosoon courting his first col
leen. There was not a shillelagh, in
sight.
It was small credit to tnem, oi
course, since there was not a pub-
uc-nouse In the town open.
This was one day in the year
when sculptured Parnell, up above
the street on his monument, was
wasting; Ms time pointing a warn
ing finger at the pub on the comer
that does one of the grandest
trades in Ireland.
It looked as if every man in
the country and his mother were
in town for the day.
Everyone wanted to see the pa
rade and a brave sight it was too.
They were as fine a sight as
you would see in a month of Sun
days, their saffron cloaks floating
from their shoulders and their
green kilts swinging to the sklA of
a jig or reel.
It was not all music and girls, of
course. -
For fro full Irish miles wagons
and floats of all shapes and sizes
stretched along the city streets and
all were got up to show some pro
duct of Irish work, whether it was
the hard brown turf cut from the
boglands of Kerry or the electric
light itself that was trapped like
the salmon from the river Shan
non at Limerick.
The whole parade, stretching
from Trinity College down over the
Liffey and circling around Par
nell. took over two hours to pass.
And by the time It finished the
people, looking on, were every bit
as tired as the craytures march
ing, what with the clapping and
the cheering and the young fellows
here and there with the come hith
er eyes giving an odd whistle at
the girls.
