Boy Rowe, the fire chief, came
In the office the other day toting
an armload of old tanks, gas lines
and what not and with' a story to
tell. - . . -
Seems that a friend of his Is
tearing down a house for salvage
here in town that used to be re
ferred to as the "Yellow Pelican"
back In the glorious days of pro
t, hibltlon and speakeasies. This
place, so it la said, was at one
time quite a stop on the illegal
grog road, but raiding officers
were usually unable to find any of
the cached whisky. '
Not until the thing was torn down
did the real secret come to light.
A copper tank hidden between the
floors and holding about three or
four gallons, with a copper tube
leading from It to a light fixture
on the celling. All the gear is
shown In the picture above, with
Boy in the background.
Then, to get a drink, all you had
to do was pull the light fixture
away from the ceiling, open the
tiny tap at the end of the tube and
pour a glassfui or fill up a bottle.
Very ingenious.
Too bad the whisky was all gone.
ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
In yesterday's column I men
tioned somo of the records pre
served for us In regard to the dis
tribution of mountain sheep on the
plains of Eastern Oregon. Bailey
in his search for records and from
his findings, concluded, it would
appear that the Steens Mountains
were the last stronghold of the
Desert Sheep and the last one to
be killed there probably was In
1011. In 1016 Bailey and Sheldon
searched the Eastern Oregon coun
try thoroughly without finding any
trace of them.
Even as late as 1036, however,
there were rumors that mountain
sheep persisted in the rough coun
try east of the Steens Mountains
but apparently noue of the rumors
could be verified. Preble, writing
In 1915 In Jordan Valley stated:
Sheep have been harassed so long
In these desert ranges that they
have been practically gone for
many years and I have been un
able to find any heads."
Preble was told, that they had
been very common In the region
but had practically disappeared
about 1885. W. F. Schnabel told
him that they had evidently died
of some disease, as they were
found lying about everywhere. In
a letter of March 31, 1016 Schable
wrote:
"I can vouch for the extermi
nation of the sheep. Many people
think they were killed by cowboys
and game-hogs. It is not so. They
all perished during the whiter of
1884 and 1885. They did not starve
but were killed by some disease.
I found their carcasses everywhere
and grass and feed were plentiful
In those days."
H. D. Glover, of the same area
stated m 1916: "About the last
mountain sheep seen around here
was along in the nineties. There
were a great many here In the
eighties up to 1B8J."
R. M. Horn of Nyssa, Oregon,
wrote In ion. "There are no moun.
tsln sheep on the Owyhee near
Duncans Ferry country nor have
there been for 15 years. They had
a disease similar to u-ab th.t .r.

that disease. Old settlers tell me
they believe the mountain sheep
caught the scab from the domestic
sheep as they never had been

Seems that with the machine age
rapidly forcing the old telegrapher
out of the picture the association
is planning a big whing-ding up in
Portland for the 24th of this month
to give the fellows a chance to get
together again and talk things over.
The affair will be held at the Mai

invited. All you gotta do is send
in your reservation to Braun and
he'll see to it that you are taken
care of, along with your wives,
sweethearts and friends.
Big feature of the program will
be a nation-wide circuit hookup to
exchange greetings which will op
erate between 10 and six for those
who may wish to use it. There'll
also be a dinner and a general
good time.

known to have it before the domes
tic sheep brought it into the coun
try.
As we return to our own Klam
ath Basin we find the same story
of the vanishing sheep. They had
been common before the comm.?
of the white man. In 1906, James
H. Oaut was told by people living
west of Lower Klamath Lake that
mountain sheep had been numer
ous on the lava ridges near there
up to 1885 and that the last was
killed in 1890. In 1916, Bnllcy found
two old heads, one with horns and
the other without, in the lava beds
near Lower Klamath Lake, but
could find no direct Information
when sheep were Inst known in
these almost impenetrable lava
fields. One of the Klamath Indians
said that when ho was a little boy,
his father used to do gown there
to kill them.
In 1914, Harry Telford wrote
from Fort Klamath: I could llnd
no record of mountain sheep ever
occurring near Fort Klamath, Mr.
Brums who had cattle in the lava
boas m tne early flays said they
were plentiful there uplo the win
ter of 1879 and 'B0, when he thinks
Uicy were winter-killed. A large
number of cattle and sheep had
been run in the lava beds during
the summer and fall of 1879 and
had taken most of the feed, and
the hard winter following finished
them."
Bailey cventuolly arrived at
conclusion as to the reason why the
sheep vanished from the ranges.
he writes: "To anyone who has fol
lowed closely the history of the
disappearance of our moun.
tan sheep, it is clear that they
have been destroyed by scabies,
the disease commonly known as
scan among domestic sheep, wher
ever Infected domestic hcids have
penetrated the range of the wild
species. Like smallpox and meas
els among the early Indian tribes,
scabies swept away whole bands
and left scattered bunches that
later secumbed to the disease or
were finished by hunters or pre
datory animals, Death was not

Klamath Falls Ground Observ

praised by Governor Paul Patten
son in a letter received recently
by Russel Avery, GOC supervisor.
The letter from the governor reads
in part: "As governor of our state
of Oregon, I have been conscious
of the time and effort you are
giving to make the air defense a
real protection to your fellow cit
izens, throughout the state. This
protection from disaster, whether
war or nature, given by the people
enrolled In the O round Observer
Corps is a most Important respon
sibility which I share with you.'J
The governor goes on to state:.
"Because of my responsibilities to
all the people of our state, I ap
preciate that if disaster should
come, there would be little hope
except for your efforts and the ef
forts of others like yourselves, who
give their time so that friends,
neighbors, and fellow citizens will
have a chance to survive. This
gives me a great deal of com
fort. I greatfully extend to you,
personally, and to all the people
associated with you, my official
and personal thanks for what you
are doing to make the Air De
fense Command an effective factor
in the lives of the people of the
state of Oregon. I shall continue
to do my part to aid your impor

TELLING THE EDITOR
' RESOLUTION
The following resolution was
adopted at the March 19 meeting
of the Shasta View Orange No. 830,
with the recommendation that . a
copy be sent to the Herald and
Nows for publication.
WHEREAS.
It appears that the present meth
od of selecting a Jury works a
ways find feed on steep slopes and
rough cliffs quite Inaccessible to
domestic herds. The insidious
mites left on the bushes and
ground soon become attached to
the healthy wild sheep and produce
scabby skins, sores, fever, . and
lingering death."
"Unfortunately," states Bailey,
"this Rlmrock Sheep of the low
country is apparently extinct, but
some other form from the same
life zones arid Upper Sonoran
and Transition "could be Intro
duced. With proper protection from
Infected herds as well as from
hunting and natural enemies, thev
would doubtless thrive here in its
plate.
"What more delightful or useful
adventure could be Imagined than
to take a track of the roughest

our native sheep?"

"The work is Interesting, and

stated recently. They referred to
a single motored plane that came
Into sight of the airport from the

than two weeks ago. The plane
suddenly appeared from out of

down on the runway just below
the tower. When he emerged from
the plane, his uniform was plain

lettering on the wing of the plane.
This aroused the concern of the
ground observer on duty, Lynn
Skeen, and he immediately set out
to learn his identity. Leaving the
tower to the relief "team" observ

WASHINGTON W The Red Chi
nese are gradually calling the El
senhower administration's hand In
Indochina. Now it's a question of
how much further they go before
the administration puts up or backs
up.
Secretary of State , Dulles has
been talking for the administra
tion on what It would do If the
Red Chinese Intervened in Indo
china to help the Communist-led
Vietmlnh against tht French and
Vietnamese.
He has talked of It impressively
and repeatedly but so vaguely that
two congressional committees, alt
er hours of questioning, did not
pin him down on what the admin
istration has in mind.
Tills may have the virtue of
keeping the Communists guessing.
It also keeps Americans guessing
and raises the question: Does Dul
les have a policy ready to apply
if crisis comes, or is he playing by
ear?
In a speech in St. Louis last
Sept. 2, and again In a New York
speech March 29, he warned the
Red Chinese against sending their
army it turns out now he was
emphasizing "army" into Indo
china. If that happened, he said, "the
Chinese Communist regime should
realize that such a second aggres
sion taller Korea) could not occur
without grave consequences which
might not be confined to Indo
china.'' But in the same March 29 speech
he revealed the Red Chinese have
recently sent in 2,000 men to help
the Vietminh, whose leader, Ho
Chi Minn, is a Moscow-trained In
dochinese. Yesterday Dulles told the House
Foreign Affairs Committee Red
Chinese were operating antiaircraft
guns for the Vietminh and shooting
down French planes around Dien
Blen Fhu, where the French are
making a do-or-dle stand.
Asked about his warning to the
Red Chinese about intervening in
Indochina, Dulles noted he had
warned the Chinese theyx. should
not send in an army.
But In a war like the one in
Indochina a' few thousand techni
cal experts, supplied at the right
time 'and place against the hard
pressed French, might be enough
to wreck them without need for a
lull-size Chinese army.
This, in short, confronts Dulles
and the administration with the
most critical question of the Indo
china war: Where does Dulles
draw the line on how much help
the Red Chinese can give the Viet
minh before this: country backs
up its warning? .
In a New York speech Jan. 12
Dulles said this country would try
to deter any Communist aggression
by depending on the "capacity" to
retaliate massively and Instantly.
On March 29, and again yester
day before the House committee,
he spoke of the need for "united
action" in Indochina, Committee
members later said they were still
left blank on any specific plans
for countering Red Chinese help
to the Communists in Indochina.

Last Saturday some 40,320 peo
ple went out In 32-degree weather
to the Jamaica racetrack and bet
$3,160,780. Among them was a
friend of mine, hard-working
man afflicted with off-beat ringing
of the ears,', who dropped $62.50,
his entire wad.
He. was cold, shivering, , broke
and deliriously happy.
"Boy. that wind was brutal,"
he wheezed. "I felt sorry for the
jockeys, wearing nothing but those
thin silks. Tney snouiave nan

"Never mind "the Jockeys," I
said. "If" you come, down with

"So what?" he shrugged. "I'm
happy. The horses are back after
4 2 months that means more
than robins chirping.". .
'Would you do me a favor?'
I asked him. "Please tell me the
difference between a horse player
and a human being."
Here is. his answer the philos
ophy of an Incurable horse player:
"The horse player is the gamest
of all sports tans. He takes the
most punishment in taxes, ad
mission fees and the way they
hypo the food and drink prices
once they get him out to the track.
"But a real horse player will
turn out in the face of a blizzard,
a hurricane, a fog even an earth
quake. He knows the big tracks
are honest, but even if the races
weren't on the level he'd still come
out. He has an unbounded belief
In the axiom, 'Some horse has to
win and It might be the one I
got my. money down on.'
"It's' hard to say what makes
a horse player. Many things. The
glamor and color. the beauty
of the horses themselves. Even a
plater, the cheapest horse on the
track, is still better to look at than
the average human being.
THE DOCTOR SAYS
By EDWIN P. JORDAN '
. ,.. .... . h
I am .often appalled by the lack
of knowledge which "so many people
have about the food they eat and
Its importance in the maintenance
of health. For this reason, from
time to time. It seems desirable to
discuss various features of the
diet.
This column Is devoted to one of
the important food elements,
Known aaetarcb.es, or carbohy
drates, these food substances ordi
narily provided the largest source
of energy in the diet.
Many common foods contain a
great deal of starch and fortu
nately many of these are among
the cheapest foods and therefore
are eaten In large quantities.
The principal sources of usable
or heat-producing starch are sugar,
potatoes, and cereals. In addition
to the sugar bowl, grapes, young
sweetcorn, and onion contain sugar
in considerable quantities as do
many fruits and fruit Juices. Ba
nanas and chestnuts are also par
ticularly rich in starches.
Starches not only supply tne
body with a large proportion of its
heat and energy requirements, but
starches can be easily changed into
fat in the body. For this reason
people who eat-excessive amounts
of carbohydrates can (and do) be
come obese.'
On the other hand, . the average
daily need for starches is believed
to be between 300 and 500 grams
this would be about one pound.
It Is not wise to cut down on the
starches below a certain level, at
least not very long.
Studies on nutrition have shown
that there Is a real advantage if a
close relation Is kept between the
carbohydrates and proteins eaten.
Furthermore, the belief that it is
harmful to eat starches and pro
teins at the same meal has no
good scientific basis.
For the average person. It is not
only harmless to eat starches and
proteins- at the same meal, but is
healthful to do so.
The refined starches - have less

"Then there's the excitement of
the race itself. . . your emotions
are out there riding as well as
your money. The biggast kick of
all is to see your horso come from
last place to win In a stretch rush.
Winning when it seems like you
can't win. . . what greater thrill
Is there In life?
"I don't say i'. gives a man as
big a kick as becoming a father
for the first time, On the other
hand a horse player may root in
a winner a thousand times, but
how often in a lifetime can you
become a father for the first
time? ,
Hope springs eternal In the
human breast, but it springs twice
as eternal in a horse player's
breost. So you lose? Most horse
players are so accustomed to los
ing they take It pretty well. They
will never commit suicide while
they are holding a sweepstakes
ticket.
"A dyed-in-the-wool horse player
actually hates to spend money on
anything but horses. He'll go
around in baggy pants, a beat-up
hat, and with holes in his shoes
and still plunk down $10 for a
long shot to win. -
"More and more women are
showing up at the tracks now. It
seems to be taking the place of
afternoon bridge with them. But a
serious horse player regards them
as a Jinx. Besides, they tie up a
betting window for half an hour
while they paw through their
handbag looking for two bucks. ,
"The serious horse player also
looks down his nose at rich guys
who are always laying heavy sugar
on the favorite in a race. They
figure If a man wants to Invest
money he should' go to Wall
Street, not to. a racetrack.
"Horse players are human in
at least one respect. They like
to talk about the big killings they
made in the past rather then dis
cuss their losses for that day.
"Do all horse players die broke?
Not necessarily. I heard of one
player who hit a big dally double,
collected his winnings., and drop
ped dead. He went to his grave
in a new suit, dressed better than
be ever had been in his life.
"No, I don't know of any serious
horse player who is ahead of the
game. Certainly I am not, after
20 years. But look at the fun I've

money on liquor and had 20
years of hangovers. The serious
horse player Isn't a heavy drinker
or girl chaser. Anybody who can
afford three pastimes like those Is
Just a playboy hobbyist.
"I'll admit there is no doubt
that horse playing has ruined some

cause refining these substances
causes some loss of minerals and
possibly other substances in the
course of the manufacturing pio

This does not mean that refined
