It ain't natural to have this much rain over a period of two weeks. Something has got to be to blam lor it. And (or lack ot anything bet ter I'll stick with the scientists and their lethal little playthings. And It seems such a shame, too. Here we spend billions of dol lars perfecting the deadliest bomb uie world Has yet seen, but when- ever anyone suggests using it the righteous rise up and whimper about all the people It'll kill. So we naui the bombs off to an island and touch 'em for the eluci dation and amusement of our sci entists (the ones who aren't being bombed by McCarthy and his co horts). But. and here's the rub: what's the difference between being' blown back into the original organisms and being drowned in a perennial rain? As the chap once said "be it steel or be it lead, anyhow the man is dead." You can talk all you want to about the Japan current, the world weather chart, the high area over Himalaya as opposed to a nasty low pressure area forming around Malaya. I'll take my stand on the old H-bomb. He's to blame for it all. If the money that has been poured Into the A and H bombs bad been spent on an improved land recovery programs and a larra equipment pool system this country could have been self sup porting and we wouldn't need H bombs. In case Uie bombs aren't to blame then I guess we'll have to tall back on the Old Testament, the book of Job, where we are as sured that "fair weather cometh out of the north." So keep your eyes to the north and your ears peeled. Railroaders will be the men of the hour this weekend when Duns muir celebrates Its 9th annual Railroad Days festival. There will be plenty to do, a lot of bands on hand to furnish the background and everything from folk dnncing contests to barbecues to barbershop chorus presentations to hiking in the hills. You'll find yourself a welcome guest if you drop into the little city in the canyon this weekend. But if you do, go pruned to have a good tune. A letter Uie other day from Hen ry Boyd, who was with a bond out- tit in Portland for a long time and is now one ot the moguls on Wall Street, says: "How is the goose hunting on Tule Lake? I murdered them there when it had only a trail down to Uie lake and no bag linut. And Mien once we got lost in a foe about two miles from shore with uie water up to our waists, and once I wondered if that was mine to be the end, but we made it." Well, Henry. It's like this. You would hardly know the old place any more, out it's a cinch vou couldn't get lost in a fog. You might become confused In henw fog. but all you'd have to do would oe to reach out and touch the hunt er next to you. have him do the same and so on until vou had a human chain stretching from you j me sportsmen's Hotel. Then vou could all be hauled to snug safety. They'll Do It Every Time - By Jimmy Hatlo MIS UO'S TEAM ORt RED . THEM SUrTS TnDAtONTUS rACO-TVieRES BEEN i CHANGES ON 'EM THAN A , AMATEUR ARCHITECT, .

They advanced a few steps on foot and halted. By that time the braves were all around through the village. Captain jactson demanded captain Jack. Scar-face Charley told the captain ne would go ana get him. Jack appeared in a few minutes. A few of his men were with him. Every i moian nan his gun with htm. "Jackson told Captain Jack that the Great Father had sent him to go and get him, Jack and all bis people and put them on the Klam ath reservation. "Jack replied, saying: 'I will go; I will take my people with me. but r do not place any confidence in anything you white people tell me. You see you come here to my camp when it is dark. You scare me and my people when you do that. I won't run from you. Come up to me like men, when you want to see or talk to me.' "The captain assured Jack he did not want any trouble. He says: 'Jack, get all your men up here In front of my men.' "Jack called his men together. They did it, eyeing the soldiers closely. Some of the old men were saying: 'Maybe this man wants to repeat what Ben Wright did to us Modocs years ago. "When all the Modocs were In front of Jackson and his soldiers, Jackson says to Captain Jack: 'Now Jack, lay down your gun here,' pointing to a bunch of sage brush. "At last Jack says: "What for?' "Jackson told him: 'You are the chief. You lay your gun down, all your men do the same. You do that we will not have any trouble.' "Jack said: 'Why do you wnt to disarm me and my men lor? I never fought white people yet and I do not want to. Some of my old men are scared of what you ask me to ao.' "If you believe what you say. Jack, and you will give up your gun, I won't let anyone hurt you,' was Jackson's reply. "Jack looked at his own men and ordered them to lay down their guns. Every Indian stepped up smiling and laid down his trusty muzzle - loading rifle. Scar-face Charley laid his gun down on top of the pile of guns the Indians had stacked, but he kept his revol ver strapped on. Jackson ordered him to take bis pistol off and band it over. "Scar-face said: 'Your got my gun. This pistol all lite. Me no shoot him you.' y "Jackson ordered his lieutenant Boutelle, to disarm Scar-face, whereupon Lieutenant Boutelle stepped lorward and said: 'Here, HAL BOYLE By CHARLES MERCER (Kor Hal Boyle) GLEN RIDGE, N. J. Cfl The spot where I am writing thts may some day be in the middle of six-lane highway. Or maybe It will be beside the highway. Or maybe Uie. highway will be I block away. And possibly Uie high way never will come this way at ail. The spot is my desk in our house. Injun, give that pistol here, (cen- Eoreoi rou, quick.' "Scar-face Charley laughed and said: 'Me no dog.

"Scar-face said; 'Me no dog. You no shoot me. Me keen DistoL You no sei mm, my pistol. 'Boutelle leveled his revolver at Scar-lace's breast. Scar-face drew his pistol. At the same instant, both pistols made but one report. The Indian's bullet went through Bou- icue s coai sleeve. Scar-face jumped and got bis gun. Everv In dian then followed suit. The sol diers opened fire on the Indians. No more than thirty feet from them, the Indians piled on one another trying to get their guns. After the Indians eot their tmn they gave battle. The soldiers re treated alter a few minutes firing, leaving one dead and seven severe ly wounded on Uie field. The Mo docs lost one warrior killed and about half a dozen wounded. The Modoc warrior killed was known watchman: his Indian name was Wish-in-push." fflus we have Riddle's account of the shot that started the Modoc War, it's very dramatic and in line with the Indian love of the dra matic. Of course. Riddle, not be ing present would not know what was actually said and so he writes what appears to fit the occasion best. It will be noted, however, there is not a menUon of Ivan Applegate or any part Applegate After I got out of the Army In 1946 we lived in furnished rooms while we hunted and hunted for home. The places we could afford we did not like, and the places we liked we could not afford. Then, one Sunday afternoon In 1947, we saw The House. The land curved around It and nine big oaks stretched their arms about it and people bad dwelt happily in it for many years. "This is it." I said after we'd been through it and learned the price. Yes, this Is It," my wife said. "But we can't afford It." . ' 'Ob. no." she said, "of course we can't afford it.' So we bought It and moved into H all our possessions a portable typewriter, a portable radio and wedding gifts Uiat never had been unpacked. Since that time we've been told by various people that It's a nice house but: 1. We can't afford it. 2. It's much bigger than we need. 3. I'll get a coronary working on all that lawn. 4."Yoo trying to go high hat or something moving in here?" We always reply that we like it and view it as a permanent home. For in 1947 we were hunting permanence and certainty alter much uncertainty, and alnng with the rest of the world we still de sire permanence and certainly to day. So we furnished the house and lived In it and the sheriff has stayed away from our door. We've known happiness and sorrow here. It's become a place much lived in and attained in our minds the permanence we desired. About a year ago we first heard the state was mounting an attack on us. Pushing bulldozers would invade from Uie West, we were told, driving a super - highway through us toward New York. Cit izens of arms - bearing age were mustered in meetings of protest where it was impossible to sift wild rumors from military intelll- Rough Fish Hit Reservoir Willy Reservoir In Baker County and Malheur reservoir In northern Malheur County have buth become reinfested with rough fish accord ing to Iho Oregon State Oamc Commission.

However, Jackson's men were dismounted and their arms at ready before the conference begins and from this point the versions differ.

Sponsored by the American Ltfion Drum end (119U Cerps Telling The Editor 'MEMORY . Whenever, trampling a hot July trail, tne writer snilfs the pleasant, tragrant, aromatic bay laurel leaf, he thinks of a little Cucrnavaca casa. Color-bejewelled humming birds flashed m the sunlight slant ing Into its patio. These sipped Uie nectar of tropical flowers, bright as themselves. The bare feel of a peon pattered over square brick tiled floor. He brought "alli gator pears," some big. greenish skinned, others, small brown, he called "chlco." This Mexico scene seems far re moved from either California or Japan. Yet the avocado, or "Alli gator pear" has far flung family connections. II Is a cousin to our California laurels. When next eat ing an avocado, note how It re sembles the, fruit of our native laurel., Japan is home of a haughty member of laurel high society, the camphor laurel. Always this tree is In temple courtyards. Under Its shade, children play. There they are safe for temple roots are curved, so that alighting devils lose their way and take a trail Into the air Instead of coming down to annoy folk. The camphor laurel is now being used in Call lornian street forestry. Watch one next winter when In fruit. Again, the resemblance to both avocado and our native laurel fruit. The Cahlornia bay laurel yields a useful hardwood. One packer of California figs used Its leaves to give his dried fruits a peculiar chemical treatment many fold.

The hoard ing .instinct, which all children have may be well guided Into fresh air tramps to collect seeds and fruits. Such comparisons as of the fruits and seeds of avocado, bay laurel, camphor laurel are Instruc tive.

He had been adviser to Ihe American dele. gallon at the United Nations. Mean while, he haa lived at Princeton N.J., directing Urn Inslltuto tor Ad vanced Study, One ol the most Important pieces of advlca the government asked liliii for this was In 11)49 was whether tho United Stales should go ull-out In making the H-bomb. He was uuains! Ihe all-out Idea as were many other scleiitwts and some members of the AEC Itself. He favored a balanced program ol A-bomb weapons. On Jau. 31, IPSO. former President Truman ordered nll-out work oil the H-bomb. Opiienhelmer was Investigated by tho government when Truman set up his program for checking on the loyalty of government employes. He continued to work on secret matters. Then on April 37. 11)53. President Elsenhower issued an order calling upon every department head to re view every cane In which there had been a lull F'ti! field Investigation. as there was In Oppeuhcimcr' case. On July 7. I9M. four days after ElseiUiower had made him chair man ot the live-man AEC. Lewis L. Strauss ordered a review of Op penhclmer to see whether he was a security risk. This was In keep ing with the President's general order of April 57. Strauss had been a member ot the AEC. but not chairman. In 1949 when Oppcnlieimer opposed 'the 11-boinb.- Strauss was one of Utost who favored going ahead with It. Early In December 1943. Strauss look to Elsenhower all the Infor mation Uie AEC had on Oppen helmer. The President ordered a "blank wall' to be placed between Oppenhclmcr and searet Informa tion. On Dec. 33. i3. Strauss told Oppcnhcimcr he could resign his advisory Job with Ihe AEC or ask for hearings. The only way Oppen helmer could clear his name was to talk for a hearing. He did. The AEC appointed a special Uiree-man board; Oordon Grey, now president of U10 University ol North Carolina and formerly sec retary of the Army; Dr. Ward V. Evans, professor of chemistry at Loyola University, Chicago; and Thomas A. Morgan, former presi dent of the Sperry Corp. Hearings began April 33.
