All of a sudden there has been i
a real rash of Information coming
In on the picture of "old blue'
which was published some weeks!
ago.
First Information came In from
Mis. Joseph Abner of 6021 Harlan
Drive. She thought the engineer
shown in the picture might have
been her father, T. R. Skillington.
The face of the man in the cab
was very indistinct and hard to
make out. That's Mr. skillington
for sure, however, In the picture
lit Ihe head of this column. Taken
on the day ol his retirement In
1038 following 48 years of service
with the Southern Pacific. His
grandson, Thomas Abner, la In the
cab of a much more modern en
gine than "old blue 1 with him.
It could have been. And we are
glad to have the lead. Running
down the names of people that far
back In the history of our coun
try is quite a chore with nothing
bill a dim picture to go on.
Then, following Mrs. Abncr's sug
gestion, Mrs. H. L. Inman called
in that she was pretty sure that
the engineer on the run at that
time was Jack Inman, although
again the dim print made it hard
to say for sure. But friends and
others as well as her own family
had pretty delinltcly ldcntllicd the
man at the head of the engine as
Jimmy O'Bryan, an early day op
erator,
Moro thanks to Mrs. Inman. It
Is truly heartening to find so many
people anxious to help in our
search lor unities.
Then to wind things up, someone
called In yesterday and talked to
ott In my absence and said Hint
In all probability the tail chap
standing at the hend of the engine
was the fucinan, a chnp named
Jne Fi'lzzel, that the man on the
flnlcnr was the brakomnn, named
George Burgess.
A'inin no Identification on the
man in the cub.

plenty of Identification. But at any
rate It's a lot of fun. And as time
goes on more and more of the his

who ran her will come to light.
At least we hope so.
At last conies a factual report
on spring. Frank McCready, well
known rancher from up above
Chiloquln way, came in the other
day to report that he had spotted
the first bluebird of the season,
and that Is a sure sign of spring,
sava he.
Bald that a horde of robins had
spent the winter in the Juniper
thickets above the ranch, but that
this was the first of the bluebirds
for doggone sure
Frank also said that what I saw
the oilier day was probably
young swan. When they are
young, even up to a year old and
have almost their lull growth, tney
have spots all over 'em. And my
black headed birdie was In all
probability in that class
Frank was on his way south for
a short vacation. Fine time to be
shoving off for the south with
spring on the way. Or is It?
Oot into a ruckus with some of
the staff down here the other day
on local terminology. Ever since
living here I've referred to that
body of water lying below the Main
street bridge and at the mouth of
Link river as Lower Lake, or, if
a change in name were called for,
as Lake Ewauna.
But It seems that a lot of people
Insist on the stricter use ofi Ew
auna, fas being entirely separate
from Lower Klamath Lake, which
is a completely dllforcnt load of
poles.
Maybeso. But I'll still refer to
Ewauna ns Lower Lake when nec
essary. To me Lower Lake and
Lower Klamath are two different
things and no cause tor contusion.

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
When we read the stories written
by the old pioneers of the area I
often wonder about the abundance
of wildlife because it is seldom that
wild game is mentioned in any of
the writings. Perhaps this is due
to the fact that wild game was so
common an Incident In the lives
of these early settlers, it became
such a commonplace subject, they
simply failed to mention it.
This column has carried the
story of Sheridan and his obser
vation of the effect of mining upon
the fish life In the Fit and Sac
ramento Rivers. The roiling of the
waters destroyed the fish runs and
Uils in turn left the Indians, who
were utterly dependent upon the
annual runs of fish In a sorry
stale of affairs and faced with
starvation and death.
Joaquin Miller writes of this same
condition in his book "Unwritten
History," in the following manner:
'There was a tribe of Indians
camped down on the rapid, rocky
Klamath river a sullen, ugly set
were they, too: at least so said
The Forks. Never social, hardly
seeming to notice the whites, who
were now thick about them, below
them, above them, on the river and
would meet one on the narrow
trail: he would gather his skins
about him, hide his bow and ar
rows under their folds, and, with
out seeming to see any one. would
move past us as still as a shadow.
I do not remember that 1 ever
saw one of these Indians laugh, not
even to smile. A hard-featured,
half-starved set of savages, of
whom the wise men of the camp
prophesied no good."
The Forks was a mining camp
at which Joaquin spent a winter
possibly his first on the Klamath.
It's chief claim to fame was lis
saloon, "The Howling Wilderness."
"The snow, unusually deep this
winter," writes Joaquin, "had
driven them all down from the
mountains, and they were com
pelled to camp on the river.
"The game, too, had been driven
down along with the Indians, but it
was of but little use to them. Their
bows and arrows did poor compe
tition with the rilles of the whites in
the killing of the game. The Whites
fairly filled the cabins with deer
and elk, got all Ihe lion's share,
and left the Indians almost desti
tute. "Another thing that made it rath
THE DOCTOR SAYS
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M l). ,
Mrs. T writes that her 13-ycar-old
daughter, who has never been
sic!: in her llle before, has taken
three epileptic fits In a week. She
says she Is bewildered and afraid
to let the little girl go out at all,
and feels as though her life is
mined.
This distress on the part of the
parent of a child who develops
epilepsy is certainly understand
able, and one can give deep sym
pathy to the mother, while tell
ing her that she must not despair,
but rather to take what steps she
can to aid her daughter.
Epilepsy Is primarily a disease
or condition of tile brain. It Is com
monly divided Into two main
varieties. The less Important kind
called pellt mal, In which there Is
a brief loss of consciousness with
out convulsions. The severe type is
called grand mal. In which there
is loss of consciousness with typi
cal convulsions.
Before an attack there Is usually
a peouliar sensation in some part
ol Ihe body. This Is known ns nn
aura. The sensation is hard to
describe, but an "uneasy feeling"
Ui the stomach area Is one of the
most common. Those who have I
epileptic attacks learn to recog-1
nlze ibis aura and to know that an
attar is on the way. i
At the beginning of a major at-1
lack the patient may give a loud '
ncrtam or yell, which Is called j
nn epileptic cry. When an attack
first begins the head Is usuallv j
drawn back or to one side, the
Jaws are fixed, the hands clenched ;
Bnrt the legs extended straight out. i
This Is quickly followed by' muscu

er more hard on the Indians than
anything else, was the utter failure
of the annual run of salmon the
summer before, on account of the
muddy water. The Klamath, which
had poured from the mountain
lakes to the sea as clear as glass,
was now made muddy and turbid
from the miners washing for gold
on its banks and its tributaries.
The trout turned on their sides
and died; the salmon from the sea
came in but rarely on account of
this; and what few did come were
fairly safe from the spears of the
Indians, because of the colored wa
ter; so that supply, which was more
man all others their bread and
their meat, was entirely cut
"This loss of salmon was a great
er loss than you would suppose.
These fish in the spring-time would
pour up these streams from the sea
lu Incalculable swarms. They fair
ly darken the water. On the head
of the Sacramento, before that
once beautiful river was changed
irom a silver sneet to a dirty yel
low stream, I have seen between
the Devil's Castle and Mount Shas
ta the stream so filled with salmon
that It was impossible to force a
horse across the current. Of course
this was not usual, and now can
only be met with hard up at the
heads of mountain streams where
mining is not carried on. and
where the advance of the fish is
checked by falls on the head of
the stream. The amount of salmon
which the Indians would spear and
dry In the sun, and hoard away for
winter, under such circumstances,
can be imagined: and I can now
better understand their utter dis
comfiture at the loss of their fish
eries than I did then.
"A sharp, fierce winter was upon
them: for reasons above stated
they had no store of provisions on
hand, save, perhaps, a few dried
roots and berries: and the whites
nad swept away and swallowed up
tile game before them as fast as
It had been driven by winter from
the mountains. Yet I do not know
that any one thought of all this
then. I am sure I did not; and I
do not remember hearing any al
lusion maac to these things by the
bearded men of the camp, old
enough, and wise enough too, to
look at the heart of things. Per
haps It was because they were all
so busy and intent on getting gold."
and a trick-red colored face. Dur
ing all this period from tho epilep
tic cry on, the patient is uncon
scious. Alter the attack, however, the
patient recovers consciousness
without recollection of what has
happened.
Today there are methods of test
ing the electrical waves in the
brain which have shown that the
brain waves of someone with epilep
sy arc (liltercnt from those of a
normal person. This method of
testing has already proved to be
of great help in finding out what
people are most likely to develop
epilepsy, how serious the disease
is, and what treatment Is best for
that particular patient.
More has been learned about
epilepsy in the last few years
than In the preceding three thou
sand years of human History.
With the drugs and management
now available, many victims o!
'he disease can be greatly helped,
so Ihe outlook for Mrs. T.'s daugh
ter is not necessarily dim.

The ousting of Italian Premier
Amintore Fanfani after a mere 11
days in ollice is a painfully
familiar pattern. Italian politics
begins to look altogether too much
like French politics. 1
Until last summer, Italy, essen
tially a weak and a poor country,
had shown a surprisingly strong
trout to the world In the postwar
period. The leadership of Alcidc
de Casperi was an important ele
ment lu this performance.
But in the June elections, De Gas
perl apparently failed to win a suf
ficient popular victory to give him
and his center coalition the neces
sary wide margin of working con
trol In the Italian parliament. We
say "apparently" because, ironi
cally, a subsequent partial - re
count showed he actually had won
enough votes lor a suitable parlia
mentary majority.
Long belorc this became evident,
howeiver, the frail post-election Do
Gasperi government had gone
down. In a matter of months, the
successor government of Giuseppe
Pella collapsed, too. Fanfani was
the next to try.
All these men are members of
the powerlul Christian Democratic
Party. But strong as their party
is, it cannot operate except In coali
tion with other smaller center nai-
tics. Since the June elections, cer
tain of these have been more re
luctant to join with the Christian
Democrats.
If the actual voting tabulations of
last June were now to be heeded,
the center group would automati
cally be stronger. It would not
stand or fall on the ability of the
Christian Democrats to make fra
gile pacts with the small parties.
Evidently, though, the leading Ital
ian moderates' do not intend to seek
this remedy.
Fanfani went down before Ills
program ever was born. This is
not an encouraging thought for any
who would consider taking up the
reins in his place.
Inasmuch as the moderates do
not feel the true June results can be
applied and fear a new election
which might increase Communist
strength, they appear to have but
one avenue left open: to try again
to patch together a center coali
tion that can resist the rnvnopc nf
Communist attack and stand up
unuer the pressing burden of
Italy's perennial problems.
It this is to be done. De Gasperl
seems the wisest choice as leader.
So long os he beaded the govern
ment, Italy appeared fairly stable,
and It made some headway, how
ever smalll, toward the solution of
its difficulties. From the moment
De Gasperl fell, Ihe country has
appcaren to sup into futility.
Naturally this picture is highly
pleasing to the Reds, who are wait
ing lo pounce. Any alert politician
In Italy must understand tills.
Those who are really concerned
about the freedom of their country,
whether they are of the Center, the
Right or the Moderate Left, ought
to consider which is more linnor-
lam: to preserve their hair - split -
ling Intellectual Integrity at the
cost of inaction, or to submerge
mcse auierences m Uie common
cause of strong free government.

The power Is not absolutely,
thanks to the constitutional checks

make a treaty with a foreign
government unless two thirds ol
the Senate approves.
But prosldent can make an
agreement with foreign govern
ment. It may have the effect of a
treaty but, heing an executive
agreement, doci.i'C need Senate
approval.
If money U needid to carry out
such an grjement, Congress could

But Sen. Brld-er IR-Ohiu) and
others who share his views looked
with irlsalvi:is upon such presi
dential littitiitdK a:iu reasoned tins
way.
Someday wine president might
get this country into trouble by
deliberately making an agreement
lnste:d of a treaty which would
have to be examined by the Senate
with the result that certain citi
zens' rights would be lost.
Further, the Bricker group
argued, even the Senate might
someday approve a treaty which
mitfht mean a loss of some states'
or cltizfins' rights.
Therefore, Bricker proposed a
constitutional amendment that
would specifically give the Senate
the right to regulate all executive
agreements. It would also provide
that treaties dealUig with matters
the constitution leserves to til a
states could be valid as domestic
law only if the individual utat.is
passed laws in keeping with the
treaties.
Eisenhower aaid this would ham
string any president ir. handling
foreign affairs. In fact, he said,
the whole government would be
handcuffed.
Bricker's .supporters began to
melt away and his proposal is now
as good as dead as he offered ir.
But there remains in the Senate
strong sentiment that a constitu
tlcnal change is needed.
No one argues there is any im
minent cataotro'ihe requiring im
mediate action. The Senate, if it
wished, could send the whole
problem Dack to Its Judiciary
Committee for nipf study. It may
wind up d')in that.
But then Sen. George (D-Ual
backed by a big bloc of DcinO'
crats, came up with a proposal of
his own which, while not as stilt
as Bricker's, was also turned down
by Eisenhower.

Hugh Pruett
Astronomers are not the only
ones who observe and ponder over
celestial phenomena. Quite recent
ly a correspondent stated that he
had noticed sunrise came later
each morning for some time after
December 22 (some years Decem
ber 21 ), the winter solstice and the
shortest day of the year. A few
years ago an office worker
wrote as lollows: "I distinctly no
ticed that January 12, three weeks
after tlie solstice, it was very mucn
lighter as I was going home from
work than on December 1, three
weeks before the solstice. Please
explain." Similar questions have
come from others.
f. is generally known that the
days begin to lengthen immediately
after the solstice, although by only
a matter of seconds at first. Al
manacs giving sunrise and sunset
to the nearest minute often seem
ingly show irregularities. But keen
observers find that old Sol shows
his face above the horizon con
stantly later and later each morn
ing for fully two weeks after .De
cember 22 and that It is three
weeks before he appears as early
as on this shortest day.
Using data I compiled a few years
ago for 44 degrees north latitude on
n .-standard tunc meridian, we luiu
that Dec. 22 had the sun above
the horizon 8 hours 54 minutes, and
both December 1 and January 12
were of equal length, 9 hours 10
minutes. But on January 12 both
sunrise and sunset occurred exact
ly 20 minutes later than on De
cember 1. So January 12 had a
darker 7 a.m. and a lighter 5 p.m.
than Dec. 1.
The complete causes of this seem
ingly irregularity cannot be fully
explained here. The 23 ' j degree in
clination of the earth's axis to the
plane' of its orbit makes the sun
appear very low in the south in
winter. After December 22, it rises
and sets slightly farther north along
the eastern and western horizons
each succeeding day. This tends to
result In earlier sunrises and later
sunsets; a day longer at both ends.
But since the earth moves most
rapidly on its orbit around the time
of New Years when nearest the
sun this makes thhe sun seem to
move most rapidly eastward
among the stars it Is charging
through space throughout Decem
ber and January with grenter than
its average speed. At clock noon
it is farther east by a greater
amount over the previous noon
position Mian at any other lime of
year. This delays both sunrise
and sunset. It shortens the day at
one end; lengthens It at the other.
The tendency toward the sun's
earlier appearance due to rising far
ther norm each day, is for two
weeks alter the solstice more than
neutralized by its excessive east
ward shifting. But these two effects
add together favorably at the other
end, causing abnormally delayed
sunsets. There is enough to spare
to make the sum total of daylight
hours increase Immediately after
the solstice.

NEW YORK M II there Is
one thing every(V.woman feels she
knows for sure, it Is how hus- ;
band ought to behave to hold bis
wife's love..
Be she coed, housewife, old maid
or grandma, she can rattle off
extemporaneously at least 999 easy
ways a husband can make him
self more of a shining knight In
his wife's eyes. .
These lists make about as much
Impression on the average stub
born husband as a headstrong
moth trying to butt down the Em
pire Slate Building. He notices that
no woman ever endorses that fa
mous old masculine prescription
for maintaining a wife In health
and happiness "Keep her bare
footed." ' Yet this rule worked pretty well
for centuries. It probably could be
proved even today that in those
areas of the world where wives
go barefooted the divorce and
ulcer rate is lower, the families
are larger, than In lands where
they wear shoes. Tight shoes ac
tually may upset more wives than
tight husbands.
The latest entrant In the husband
Improving derby Is Mrs. Veronica
Dengel, a lecturer who also tells
women how they can be charming
and benutllul and how they can
hold their husbands. (Why doesn't
some woman write a book telling
wives how to let go of their hus
bands? There might be a fortune
in it.)
The virtue of Mrs. Dengel's list 1
of suggestions on how hubby can
win his wife's love forever is that
it is surprisingly small. Just these
five: Serve his bride breakfast in
bed once a week; spend 15 min
utes a day courting her; do the
heavy housework himself; let her
take a vacation by herself each
year; surprise her with little aU
tentions.-such a phoning her from
the office lo tell her how much
he misses her.
' Frankly, I can't think of five
surer ways to break up a reason
ably happy home than for a hu
band to carry out these sug
gcstlons .literally.
Take that breakfast In bed rou.
tine. All most men can cook Is
canned chill. What wife Is going
to put up with a husband who ten
derly compels her once a week to
He In bed and eat canned chill ha.
fore she has even brushed her
teeth? On the other hand, if she
gets up and cooks Uie breakfast
herself, what sense does it make
for her to make a running broad
jump back to bed and wait for
her husband to bring it In?
And what wife really wants her
husband to hold her hand for 15
minutes every evening while he
tells her what a pretty doll she
Is? She knows he is lying by the
clock, and would rather have him
come home and snort, VFor Pete's
sake, baby, what happened io you
today? You look like you'd been
run over by a steamroller."
How .about the heavy .house
work. How better can a wife show
how really strong she Is for her
husband than by holding a sofa
on her back while she muses over
where to put It? It Is a heartless
man Indeed who would take from
his wife this girlish Joy Jn showing
off her muscle.
A separate vacation for the
wife? Try and make. her take one
Most wives I know wouldn't take
a vacation alone unless their hus
band was In tlie hospital with a
broken leg and attended by a
nurse who was sweating out her
old age pension.
This business of cooing to your
wife over an office phone may
win her but It also Is a grat
way to lose your boss. No boss I
know likes to have the switch
board tied up by several hundred
employes making love moans and
running up the office phone bill.
If you can't surprise your wife
hv mailing her a "wish you were
here" postcard from your desk,
maybe you'd better let her go.
Let's face It, boys. If a man has
to choose between losing a wife
or losuig a boss, what can he hon
cstlv do except say, "Godspeed,
baby. After all. kid, a wife is only
a woman but a Job Is a lot of
cigars."
After brooding over Mrs. Den
gel's list, I have decided to forget
it. Most wives have rather set
opinions of their own on what the
man in their life ought to do to
make them happy.
What wife can be made happy
by a husband who takes advice
irom another lady?
