By BILL JENKINS 1 1 " Si- ' mm Bird watchers now have some thing else to talk about. The picture at the head of this .column shows mallard hen's nest perched in a lodgepole pine Just over 12 feet from the ground. Scene of this strange nesting in stinct was the Fred Pope ranch up at Port Klamath, out in a thicket in the west pasture where an irri gation ditch flows serenely along at the base of the tree. . Fred and his son. Steve, dis covered the nest one evening when they were riding back to the ranch and flushed the ben oft the nest as they rode by. Investigation showed a cleverl constructed nest of twigs and small branches had ' been built by the industrious hen, ' filled with feathers for a lining and with a stout-canopy of twigs over head to protect her from prowling - hawks, i The old drake has also been noticed doing patrol duty in the ditch. When started from the nest ' the hen, and occasionally the drake, take refuge in a nearly dry pot bole further out in the pasture. According to Steve, who is the naturalist of the outfit, this same hen has lost at least three nests along the ditch to wandering steers, -falling trees 'and mowing ma chines. Seems like she Just got tired of being loused up all the time and decided to do something about it. Maybe it ain't new, but this is the first tune we have ever seen a mallard nest high off the ground, ground. While the plcutre here doesn't show a great deal, there are rea sons. I suppose that if we could have had a picture of Fred and myself getting this shot it would have been more satisfactory from a readership point. We took a six foot garden ladder out ana balanced on the hum HUGH Bright planets, three of them and in a short line, are now appear ing on the celestial screen in the west shortly after sunset. These, in order from the highest, sre Venus. Mercury, and Jupiter. The line slants downward strongly to the right. Since Jupiter, tho lowest and sec ond in brightness, now sets only about an hour after sunset, we must look for these sky Jewels as soon as the west is darkening. Ven us, the highest and brightest, likely can be spotted almost as soon as old Sol has dipped below the sky line, it tnen is about due west, but will swing northward as It follows the others toward the setting point. All will finally disappear lar over toward the northwest. Mercury lacks the brilliance of uie otner two, but If it were high in a dark 6ky would appear as a very "bright star. The best view of these planets will be obtained by those who have a clear and level horizon. The brightest stars Castor and Pollux, the Twins, are near this planetary line. Orange Pollux is almost directly above Venus while Castor stands a little north of his twin. An hour after sunset, yellow, un twinkling Saturn is well up in the south. A little west of Saturn and at the same height, faithful 8pica, a real star, twinkles. About this same time red Mars is rising in the southeast. This old god ot war Is now very bright but will be con siderably more luminous by the end of the month when he will be nearer the earth. While out planet gating an hour after sunet, let us locate other bright stars not yet mentioned. Only a little south or the tenlth and directly above Saturn, orange Arcturus Is conspicuous at the bot tom of the Kite. High up In the west-southwest, blue-white Rcgulus holds forth at the end of the handle BILL JENKINS Managing Editor mocks under the tree, and then with Fred steadying it I clambered up to a precarious perch atop the tiny platform on top and tried to focus a camera. AU the time with a wind blowing, several nosy steers whuffling and grunting around and being- curious and Fred trying to steady the ladder. Oad. what heroics. And not even a tumble to brag about. Might add that if anyone doubts the authenticity of this picture I'll vouch for it. Saw the hen sitting on the nest and watched her fly oft before I could get the camera lined up for a quick snot. Going up again this week with a color out fit and try and get some shots of her on the nest. Then all we'll have to do Is sit around and wait for the eggs to hatch. There'll be little ranch work done around the Pope place until they are, either. But watching for an event like that beats working or sitting in an office all hollow. Congratulations to the Fremont Civics cjass and their contribution to The Basin Speaks. After all, it's the younger generation who are go ing to run the destinies of this coun try and it Is highly encouraging to see the interest that is being evi denced by this group. And their suggestions are sound. We would insert our personal ob servation here that it would be al most as great a task to change the name of Hogback as it would to come up with a sure plan for world peace. But it's a step in the right direction, and their further suggestions are certainly well founded, well thought-out and well mtentioned. It restores our faith in the young er generation. And we're still in a class where we are considered the "younger" generation ourselves. PRUETT of the Sickle. The blade of this sickle, made up of dim stars, ex tends toward the right and is open downward. Far over toward the north-northwest, yellow Capella twinkles near the horizon. Turning to the eastern half of the sky, we find some Interesting stars. Quite high In the east-northeast, bright Vega, the Jewel in the Harp of Orpheus, scintillates with Its white light. Lower than Vega and considerably to the left, the somewhat dimmer Deneb holds its place at the head of the large fig ure of the Northern Cross. This cross, made up of fainter stars, is now lying on Its side with its foot extending toward the right. Low in the east, bright Altair In the Eagle Just recently cleared the horizon. Note the W-shaped figure of the stars of Cassiopeia Just above the northern horizon. And near the zen ith look for the Big Dipper upside down.

' From a purely military angle we can see why both General Crook and General Canby had issued or ders that at least SO men be sen: in any move made against Cap tain Jack's Lost River Camp. This Indian camp was situated on both sides of the river and any punitive force would have to divide Itself into two units so as to attack the camp on both sides the river at the same time. Without the prom ised aid of assistance from the settlers. Colonel Oreen could not have successfully moved against the camp with a small force of 38 men as his force would have had to be divided into two small groups either of which would have been outnumbered the superior forces ot the Indians in either camp. Colonel Oreen understood the sit uation' thoroughly and would not have dared move to arrest Captain Jack and his well armed group with Just 16 men, and, without sur rounding the camp on both sides of the river the chance of success would have been very small In deed. Therefore, the only conclu sion one can draw from the situa tion is that Applegate, besides car rying the order from Odeneal to Colonel Oreen to take action against the Modoc chief must have carried the additional information that the settlers were forming a party to support his action. Odeneal and everybody In the country knew how many men would be available from Fort Klamath, they also knew of Oen eral Canby's instructions because the military had undoubtedly used his order In pointing to the fact that the fort was not sufficiently manned to make any move against Jack, when the settlers made de mands that Jack be removed to the reservation. Since Applegate had conferred with Jack in regard to Odeneal's directives he was aware of the strength of Captain Jack and the disposition of his band and I am confident would not have advised Oreen to divide his force and at tack Jack's Camp from both sides the river with an Inadequate force. After all we must remember that Ivan Applegate was to act as guide and interpreter and would by position be in the spot where the bullets were thickest. He was no foolhardy individual and be knew the temper as well as the ability of each of Captain Jack's warriors. Bancroft has stated that Applegate advised Colonel Oreen that the Modocs would not resist a show of force and If we accept the generally told version of the affair, the Indians did not offer any resistance as Applegate predicted. Bancroft and all other writers, however, apparently avoided men tioning something else that Apple gate must have told the army com mander and that would be any warning about overzealous con duct. I greatly doubt that Apple gate was such an optimist, as Ban croft's account might lead one to believe, to the point that if he did advise Oreen the Indians would offer no resistance he could not have neglected the other. The Modoc Camp was divided by Lost River according to Mea cham; "Captain Jack and fourteen men with their families, occupy ing the west bank, where the land slopes gradually down to the wa ter's edge; the background being covered with a growth of sage brush. With Captain Jack was "Bchonchln John" so named as being the younger brother of the old Chief Schonchln; "Scar-face Charley", so named on account of a scar on his face; "Black Jim," so named on account of his dark color; "One-eyed Mose," so called on account of s .delect in one eye; "Watchman," an Indian who was killed in the first battle; "Humpty Joe," "Big Ike," "Old Tails," "Old Tails' Boy," "Old Longface" and four others. "On the east side of the river was the "Curly-balred Doctor,' the Indian medicine man; "Boston Charley," named on account of his light color; , "Hooker Jim," who got his name because he had lived with old man Hooker; "Slolax," and ten others, men with their families." Bancroft writes; "The superin tendent (Odeneal) met Jackson en the road about one o'clock on the Zemo, a doctor's antlteptie, promptly relieves itching, stops scratching and so helps hesl and clear surface rashes. Buy Extra ssatborn eases! VlllU Time morning ot the 38th, directing him to say to Jack' and his followers that he had not come to fight, but to escort them to Yainax, and not to fire a gun except In self-defense." Odeneal, apparently did not have the courage oi Mcachum in facing Jack and so was content to send the soldiers In his place this leads Meacham to say: "It was a mistake that he did not go In person, either with the messengers in the first Instance or alter their return to Linkville. He might not have accomplished any good, but he would have pre vented sever criticism, and much blame that was laid at his door; inasmuch as Jack subsequently as serted 'that he would not have re sisted, had Odeneal come himself to him and made everything plain.' " Apparently Odeneal felt that bul lets were going to fly and he had rather remain a live bureaucrat than - a dead one. The Doctor Says By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. ' All to 'often I receive inquiries from people suffering from sciatic who want to know more about this distressing condition. Some of them have experienced pain lor months. Some"of them have numbness and tingling as well as pain. All are eager for Information on how It can be cured. I wish that I could tell them. Sciatica is a term used to de scribe psin along the course of the sciatic nerve rather than a single disease. This nerve runs down the back of the leg from the buttocks to the heel. Apparently many different causes can Irritate the sciatic nerve and bring pain. Some doctors claim that most cases of "sciatic neuritis" are caused by a hernia or rupture of the cartilage-like aubstances which He between the vertebrae or small bones of the spinal column. This substance Is called the nu cleus pulposus. At any rate, there is no doubt that many cases of pain in the sciatic nerve have been relieved by the surgical treatment of this rupture. Fain in the sciatic nerve also may come from conditions else where in the body. Such disease as diabetes, certain kinds of vita min deficiencies and rheumatic conditions produce sciatic pain. In fection In an abscessed tooth or diseased tonsils also may cause sciatica. In such cases, removal or drainage of the Infected areas often brings relief although many dis appointments can be expected. When the sciatic nerve is sub jected to pressure from something in or near. the spine Itself, sciatic pain may result. Any disorder of the lower back, for example, can cause sciatica. Many times the direct cause can be found. Sometimes the injection of a local anesthetic or salt solu tion relieves the pain. Manipula tion, together with other measures of physical therapy, such as heat or diathermy, may be helpful. X-ray treatments and special exercises have been used success fully In a few of the more difficult cases. Until more Is learned about what brings on the more obscure types, It will be difficult to successfully treat all cases of this condition. On the favorable side, almost all eventually recover or can be cured, even though the path Is long.

Iwklnhem 1 "nmY Hatl LlSTEKllMd TO THE ABSENT BROTHER REPORT IN By REMOTE CONTROL" CO IT EVERV YEAR- x HJtnt ur to Cr4SSiT, AMCS. 4 James Marlow WASH1NOTON liN-Thls Is a quick look at what Congress has done In 19M. what It hasn't done won't do. and may do, before the lawmakers go home to face the voters in the November elections. They want to quit here by July 31, so they can campaign for re election, but probably won't get away until some time In August. Elsenhouvr has sald he wants hit program, or what happens to It In Congress, to be the campaign Issue. His Republicans run Congress. He has leaned over backwards to get along with them. But he has put them on the spot. Last December he said the Re publican party doesn't deserve to return control oi uie government until Congress puts through his program. Last week ne said ne could think of nothing more im portant to the United States than Its enactment. The margin between Democrats and Republicans in Congress Is so close that; (1) none of Etsenhow. er's program could be passed with out some help from Democrats and (3) the Democrats could block pas sage any time they banded solidly together. In the House there are only four more Republicans than Democrats. In the Senate the lineup Is it Democrats. 47 Republicans and 1 independent. Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon. So far Congress has passed only six measures which could be con sidered of major Importance: (11 Joining Canada in the 8t. Lawrence seaway; (31 a delense pact with South Korea; (3) crest 'Ing an Air Force academy; (41 extending major excise tax rates and cutting others: 5i providing two billion dollars for federal high way construction: 6 Increasing the borrowing power of the Com modity Credit corp. Because the Democrats stuck to gether, two of Eisenhower's pro posals were shelved: revising the Taft-Hartley labor relations law and lowering the voting age to It. Last week Congress started roll ing toward passage of a wider social security program and the kind of housing program Elaen- nower asked for. The House approved a bill to add almost 10 million people to social security coverage while Increasing both the benefits and the tax. The Senate is expected to vote for this too. Meanwhile, the Senate okayed most of the Elsenhower housing program, including the building of 35,000 public units a year for the next four years, continuing government-insured loans on homes, and the use of one billion dollars for slum clearance. The House earlier had knocked out the adminlatra tlon's proposal for 35,000 public housing units a year. There can be no final passage of a housing bill until both House and Senate agree, perhaps by compromise on both sides. Three meaaures Elsenhower sought have little chance of getting through: (1) extension for three years at the reciprocal trade pro gram; (3) flexible farm price sup ports: (3) Hawaiian statehood. The trade program will probably not be extended beyond a year, and In fact Eisenhower has Indi cated he will be satisfied with that. Elsenhower Insisted again last week he wants the flexible price support system on farm products but that seems out. Hawaiian state hood proposals got tangled with Alaskan statehood proposals. The probable- result: Statehood for neither. Here are some other major Items upon which there has been no final action either because only one house, or neither, has approved: Increasing the limit on the na tional debt; overhauling the tax laws; easing restrictions on use of atomic materials; a S'-bllllon-doI-lar foreign aid program; reinsur ance on private health Insurance; and arflncrease In the postal rates, Frank Tripp An overaealoua meddler In other people's affalra was lecturing a smoker aooui nis amoxuig, aim am about to prove the wastefulness of the habit, - He learned by questioning (hut the smoker had been smoking for 40 years, that he consumed an average of ten clgara a day, which were costing him currently 16 cents apiece. 'Mercy, think of that," aald the nosy one, "That's 11.60 a day. Have you always done that? ' "Not quite," aald Uie smoker. "Once I could get a good five- cent cigar. Probably the averaue over the years would be ten-cent- era." "Even so, that's a dollar a day for 40 years. Let me see lonelily speaking, with compounded Inter est, you ve bunted up around $36,000. That's dlsgracelul. They were passing a lovely home at the moment. Children played In die yard and a Cadillac stood In the driveway. The bore pointed to II and spouted: "Just think, with what you've wasted, you could almost buy a plare like that." "Do you own II?" aked the smoker. "No, I don't," said the busybody. well, I do; that's where I live." .nulled the wastrel, as ho lighted a lieah 15-center. in spite ot in! prices, what Veep Tom Marshall wild the coun try needed lias coino buck a good five-cent cigar. They're smaller than once but thry're a real long smoke,1 the equal of three fags. They're getting smoked too. though It seems that relishing a cigar, to the average clgaret smok er. Is like teaching en Eskimo to eat Eskimo Pie; which was named for him but he never tried. The clgaret boys gave the little seegars a break. Tho "one of three" smokers so oft reminded of their allergy to "Irritating tars" furnished a yawning market, Into which the cigar lunged, like an all-star haltyiack lnt an open field. Older smokers who have been through the mill find It quite easy to recreate a taste lor a heavier and less Irequept amoke. The ones brought Up on Uie paper-wrapped milder tobaccos have to go through Uie choking and anorllng routine ere they find real solace In a cigar or pipe. Women smokers maybe never will try, though countless Latin senoras relish their clgarro and when I was a boy It was common to see sedate old ladles enjoying their pipes. So, who knows At the height of the nicotine scare I saw a note from a tobacco grower, the printable part of which read: "What's the matter with you guys? Since Walter Raleigh, there's been no such bellyache till now. Tobacco ain't no diet for babies. Be your age; tobacco, like bourbon, Is for folks who can take It." The rugged grower of the weed crudely hit the nail on the head. "Folks who can take It" neither create scores nor become scared by uprisings against their fnvorlte .habits, even though looked upon by reformers as "bad." They get pinched in crusades against misuse and overindulgence by folks who can't take It; weak lings, youngsters and slaves to one of nature's products that Ood In tended to test Uie horse sense and will power of man. It seems there's always a "souse" to spoil a nice party. What was It we started visiting about? Oh yes. It was about our brother's keeper: the bird who doesn't smoke and thinks nobody should. Plenty shouldn't, youngsters par ticularly, and plenty of oldsters should smoke far less. Admittedly, when overindulged, tobacco la good "for nobody. Same for beef steak. A doctor can say that I amoke too much and get away with It. But when some self-appointed me- lloralor starts telling me, who has smoked everything from corn silk and buggy whips to perique tor eo years, thst I'm going to atunt my growth, shorten my years, ruin my health and go broke, I see red. Now that I'm five-eleven, 100 pounds, disgustingly healthy and sufficiently solvent at 13, I Just can't help saying: 'Mind your own anemic busi ness; you don't look too hot your self."

Trapping and killing rattlers happens to be Sweet's hobby, When he placed Uie 3'i-foot rat tler on Uie commission conference table, nobody was frightened In Uie least because Uie snake was In s Jar. Sweet explained the rattler was his gift for the stste's use In sum mer fair displays. SALE of Everg Forced to clot out oil Evergreen Shrubi, at one, Sol of choice plant continued.

Raab ot East Orange, N.J., estimated 05 per cent ol the visitors to Uie cemetery yesterday were French. They are ailll friendly to Americans, he said Almost every French lomlly In this area lost someone during tile war. Several veterans who fought on this same beach 10 years ago had returned for Uie pilgrimage. There BRUCE Senator McCarthy'a recent tilt ing with the presidential authority was an astonishing performance In many ways. Tho senator said he believes Ihe oath a government employe takes to defend his country attalnsl all enemies "lowers far above any presidential aecrecy directive." That statement la worth analysis. In the first place, when a gov ernment worker decides on his own to hand classified Information to McCarthy or anybody else, he is not simply going against Execu tive orders. He Is violating laws paased by Congress, and Is com mitting a crime. The Espionage Act of 1041 and Ihe Internal Security Act of lflJO provide criminal penalties for any unauthorized person who divulges classllied material affecting the national defense. So, to tho extent that McCar thy's Invitation to government personnel covers material of this character, he Is urging men to commit a crime to aupply him with data. He even declared Uiey had a "duty" to do this. What, one may wonder, is their "duty" to Uie laws ot the United States? Are these to be set aside whenever, In the Judgment of par ticular Individuals, they deem It wise and necessary? If laws are to be observed only at the discretion of the men they affect, then they aro not laws. They are simply rough guides, to be Ignored accordlnggto Individual dictates. But tne Founding Fa there thought they were setting up a government of laws, not of men. Alan Nunn May, convicted Brit' reen Shrubs Ivsrareaa H , . 40.00 ser 100 It.

Some knelt at the name they had sought and found. Several took out Uielr handker chlela and wiped away tears Uiey ninde no attempt lo hide. One stood with bowed head, his rifle held downward with both hands, until It was Ume lor Uie honor guard to go on to Utah Beach and Uie next ceremony. The men under Uie white crosses were alone again but Uiey had been remembered by men who fought aide by side with them 10 years ago. That was mora than speeches and blowing muslo and flying Mags. BIOSSAT Ish atom spy. went to prison be cause he passed data to Uie Rus sians In obedience to a "higher law" than Uiat set by Britain. He fell he had a "duty" to "civilisa tion" not to keep atomic secrets. In other, words, he substituted his personal Judgment tor Uie law ol the land. McCarthy Is asking federal workers to do Uie same. It makes no difference that Information about alleged aubverslon is at atake. Are we to conclude that can only fight communism In America by urging government people to commit crimes? But what If there were no laws atandlng In the way? There are still Uie various presidential direc tives barring outside acces to se curity tiles ot government workers. Aro these really nothing but a "cover-up" for an adminis tration? The answer Is, ol course, thst they are designed to proteot the In nocent. We all know that aecurlty files are a hodge-podge containing everything from solid information on aubverslon In some eases In the wUdest, emptiest gossip In others. The basic purpose of the aecurlty directives Is In the best American tradition. McCarthy's Invitation seems to suggest, too, that s fedoral em ploye who believes that hla su periors aro lax In cnlnrclng ae curlty or turning out possible or actual subversives, has only one recourse; McCarthy, Now la that really so?
