contact .with "The Mystery Peo
ple of Mount Shasta" when we
camped in the remnant of the
deep mysterious forest on the
eastern slope of the mountain was
not without anticipation as we had
been forewarned that such an ex
nerience would undoubtedly be the
case. Nevertheless we had hoped
that they might have an unguard-
ed moment and we might have an
opportunity to observe some man
ifestation of their occult powers.
However, now that civilization has
swept over the region and every
ftot of the mountain Is under scru
tiny of fire watchmen of the For
est Service, it could be that the
"Mystery people" have abandoned
their old time festivals In the for
est and have retired within their
stronghold reported to be located
deep within the mountain. This
would be considerate of the "Peo
ple" not to have the fire-fighters
continually chasing ephemeral
blazes causing the continual exer
cise of their powers to turn back
the eager-beaver firemen.
Early in your acquaintanceship
with the Tradition of "The Mys
tery People" you are warned in
regard to the powers of these peo
ple to dissuade the curious of pry
ing Into their affairs. Cerve, In his
book, "Lemuiia" gives one ac
count of these powers:
"Every attempt by investigators
to invade this district." writes
Cerve, "to observe what was go
ing on resulted in a slmlliar ex
perience, and the similarity
of these experiences related by
persons who had never come in
contact with those who might have
Informed them, is one of the out-
jitanrilnir nieces ftf evlrienr.- re.!
gardlng the truthfulness of the
whole story. Invariably Ihe Inves
tigator was considered an Intruder
and after having reached a cer
tain point in his progress toward
the center ol the lights and sounds
he would either come In contact
with a heavily covered and con
cealed person of larRe sire who
would lift him up and turn him
away from the district, as though
forcibly impressing him with the
Idea to hurry away as rapidly as
possible, or a strange and pecu
lair set of vibrations or invisible
energy would seem to emanate to
wards the investigator and force
him to remain fixed in his position
and to be able to move in no other
direction than away Irom the
place of Inquiry."
This Genii stuff out of the Ara
bian Nights was a new story to me
but Cerve has it in his book and
must have picked up the story
from some source close to the
mountain. The story of the "Mys
tery People of Mt. Shnsta" pos
sesses an Infinite number of ari
tlons and has been told, and re
told an amazing number of times.
The people of the Klamath Basin
little realize the extent of interest
that the Tradition has created tn
the world outside our little region,
and for that reason 1 have felt ihnt
readers of this column should be
Informed of the Tradition and its
Various phases, a good stcry Is
only kept alive with lis telling.
We are glad that Cerve and the
Roslcruclan Press has taken steps
to keep the Tradition alive. I am
sorry that publishers did not give
a sketch of the life of W. S. Cerve
who has written the book "Lemur-
la," they did. however, feel it nec
essary to add six pases of argu
ment In their appendix in antici
pation of letters from sceptical
readers. One point about the book
that might be overlooked is that
none of these stories have been
the fabrication of Cerve s imagin
ation, he has merely placed Into a
sequence group of anonymous
stories to build substance to the
Tradition
story presented in regard to the
Lemurlans.
"It is strange." the publishers
write, "that most of the critics
have centered their comments
upon that one small section of the
book dealing with me story aooui
Mt. Shasta and the traditions as
sociated with a mysterious group
of people supposed to be living
in it environs."

no hostile intent, the commander-in-chief
of the U.S. Pacific Fleet
said Wednesday.
Adm. Felix B. Stump declared
at a news conference that none
of the Communist warships or

manner. He didn't identify the
Communist craft but he obviously
referred to Russia.
The admiral indicated' the Com

been seen, thus suggesting the
contacts were made by U. S. sub

"We constantly observe move

various tynes of craft whom we
have identified as Communists,"
Stump said.
His remarks followed a two-day

REPEAL MILK CONTROL
Mr. Jenkins, m his editorial,
states that he is going to vote
against the repeal of the milk
control law. That is his privilege,
but it Is not his privilege to make
misleading statements.
In the first place, the repeal of
this law will not aifect the purity
of the milk which you consume.
I quote from your voter's pam
phlet "Statutes administered by
the state director of agriculture
covering sanitary regulations in
the production and distribution of
milk would not be affected by
this repeal."
It wasn't the Milk Control
Board which closed over a hun
dred dairies because the bacterial
count was too high. It was the
state director of agriculture, which
has nothing to do with the milk
control board or the milk control
law.
Moreoever, the controls which
the present law has set up tend
to encourage the production of Im
pure milk. This one example, and
there are many of a like nature.
will Illustrate what we mean. A
man wbe was selling milk to a
local creamery came to us want
ing to buy m milk cow. He said
th?.t some of his cows were dry
and he had to have replacements
:n order to hold his auoia. The cow
he wanted had never been tested,
we are not in the business of sell
ing milk, but he didn't ask or care
about that. He only asked how-
much milk she gave. He wasn't
interested in the purity of the milk
but only in holding his quota.
While Mr. Jenkins is shedding
verbal tears over the poor dairy
men, he might spare a few for the
poor' children who must drink
powdered milk because their par
ents can't afford to buy fresh milk
or for the poop parents who must
do without other necessities In or
der to buy milk for their children.
If Mr. Jenkins must shed tears
for the dairymen let him weep for
this one. A man near Ashland saw
that the dairymen were making
good money and it seemed like a
good business to get into. Sure, it
was hard work, but don't we all
work hard for what we get
eluding Mr. Jenkins? The man
Gpent a lot of money, all he trad,
and secured a fine herd of tested
dairy cows and dairy equipment
which passed all the regulations
for a Grade A dairy but he had
to have a quota. This he applied
for. A year and a half later he
hadn't received his quota and was
going broke selling his fine milk
to a cheese factory.
We know that the milk control
law Is no friend of the consumer
and there are enough instances of
the kind just mentioned to make
us think that it is no friend of
the dairyman, either.
Why the quotas anyway? The
milk control board says it Is to
insure a constant supply of pure
milk, but a a man win supply
any kind of milk he can get in
order to hold his quota and a
man equipped to supply grade A
milk is denied his quota Isn't it
apparent that the quotas are for
the numose of limiting the supply
of milk in order to hold the prices

up?
And what a price for the blue-
john milk you get. If I had a
cow that didn't give any richer
milk than vou have to Buy I a
sell her for hamburger. Any dairy
man would ao tne same, wnai
happens to the extra cream the
cows give and tne dairymen sen?
Look in your local papers. The
government buys it with your tax
money and sells It to Europe for
five to fifteen cents a pound. If
your children had the kind ot
milk they deserve we wouldn't
have to spend so much good tax
money on butter subsidies.
Mind you. the milk c 0 n t r 0
board sets a maximum butterfat
content to be sold at a minimum
price. In other words, it hits you
with both fists. If a dairyman
dares sell richer milk for the min
imum price he is punished. In
stances of this sort ot dealing
have been in the papers.
Mr. Jenkins seems to think tnat
free enterprise should exist if you
go to a farmer and buy your milk
there but he defeats his own ar
gument by saying that he is going
to vote against the repeaf. Men
have been arrested and fined for
selling milk at prices below that
set by the milk control board, and
will continue to be so treated until
the law Is repealed.
As far as we know this is thr
only law which is administered
and enforced solely by those who
benefit by the law.
Por your own good, for the good
of your children and for the good
of the dairy industry vote "Yes"
on measure eight.

So far aa the writer has been
able to determine, the foregoinr.
measure was the only administri.
tion sponsored bill that passed tha
Senate last session by unanimous
vote, me nexi ume me Mope
Aiken bill was considered by the
Senate, Senator Anderson, a Dem
ocrat, led a successful light to tack
it onto the senate version of the
farm bill, thereby sending the bill
to conference over the objection
of Congressman Hope who wa
trying to bargain for a fixed price
support on Kansas wheat. This is
the same Mr. Anderson who served
several years in tne cabinet as
Secretary of Agriculture by ip.
pointment of the New Deal presi
dent whom Neuberger reveres.
Tnus Candidate Neuberger has
commenced to feud with his Dem
ocrat brethren before the votes
are counted.
Being a Southerner who was
born and raised in the South, I
am familiar with the type of cam
paign tactics that Candidate Neu
berger is using. This is the same
type of campaign that I observed
v.aged by Bilbo and Claude Pen-
per. Mr. Neuberger knows that the
average voter cannot keep abreau
of the true Washington story, so
he deliberately choose." to misrep
resent tiie facts, and thus hopes to
confuse the voters enough so as
to get elected.
