By BILL JENKINS I don't want to make any extrav agant claims (or our area, but I wouldn't be surprised but what we may be seeing a revolution right hero in our own back yard. A sort of an ecological up heaval, not to mention a shat tering of mythological folklore. I refer specifically to the be havior of a pair of doves that have recently taken over com mand out at Hardscrabble. our home in the pines. Now the dove has been carried down in legend as the symbol of peace. Dates clear back to the time that the dove was sent out from the ark by Noah to scout the terrain ahead and came back bearing the olive branch. His toric symbolism with which we are all familiar. Venus is generally pictured in mythological art with a couple of doves puttering about. In profane symbolism the dove usually rep resents love and affection. In con nection with tombs or sarcophagi the dove symbolizes grief and mar tyrdom. In more modern times the dove has been universally adopted by the cartoonists of the world to represent the peace hopes of a people. About the same modern symbolism as blinded justice. . Over the ages we have most of us been raised to consider the dove as a 'gentle, timid winged Creature that spends most of its time sitting around on high ten lion wires looking meek. It has habit of infesting belfries and giv ing out with frightened sounds The very embodiment of gentli timidity. - - Well, around our place it just in't so. Recently, for the first time In the almost seven years that we have lived there, a pair of doves have consented to come down to the bird feeding stand and partake of our largesse. And they, a male and a female If I interpret the bird books cor rectly, made no bones or feathers about the fact that they were taking over. Peace indeed! Those birds are the most pug - nacious thing to hit our stamping (rounds in a long time. Up to now the yellow headed blackbirds have just about ruled the roost. These colorful birds with their white collared frock toats and brilliant head coloring have been the bully boys of the bird world. Only thing they were afraid of were the occasional mag pies. . Well sir, those doves made short Work of the blackbirds. When the doves light where the grain is Scattered the blackbirds scoot with all speed into the trees and Stay there until the doves have eaten their fill. The quail give them a wide berth. If they get too close one of the doves will make a run at them, hop up olf the giound, slash at them other birds peck, these doves slash with both beak and claws, and go back to feeding. The other day they ganged up en a yellow bellied sapsucker and sent him on his way. And he hasn't been back since. When they have eaten their fill they flutter up to the phone wire overhead and sit there preening themselves and making insulting remarks in a low tone to each other. And keeping an eye on the grub. AU I am waiting for now is a meeting between this pair of dove-colored bullies and the mag1 pies who occasionally come in on a raiding expedition from their Osual haunts back in the junipers. The way things are going now I think I'll bet on the doves. I wonder If this can mean that World conditions are going to thange. Have the meek at last turned to wrath ? Or do I just happen to have a couple of extra tough doves? I don't know, but I'm going to Spend a little more time check ing up on portents. Something may come of this. ment to lend up to $1000 a year to each student who needs it to pay part of his college expenses. Nat urally, this comes out to another "billion dollar program" as the good senator sees it. Probably fewer students would need financial help if our senators and representatives in Washington had done a better job of keeping inflation in check. Thousands of parents over the past dozen years have stockpiled their hard earned dollars to pay for college for their children, only to find that hard money has gone soft by the time the youngsters are ready to be .college freshmen. In so many cases, the savings turn out to be not nearly enough. But, from another angle, is Sen ator Javits" proposal actually a favor to Junior? Junior will probably emerge from college with his sheepskin. But, unless he has chosen the field of teaching, he'll have a federal mortgage on his future be cause that $4000 to $6000 must be repaid. 1 Furthermore, the government doesn't have any money to lend What it lends to Junior it must first borrow. As everyone is aware, government debt grows, come peacetime or wartime, and Junior can expect that he will pay inter est las taxes) all of his life on money the government "borrowed to lend to him even after he has paid off the loan and direct in terest in full. Even without his loan, he can look forward to pay ing interest (as taxes) on monies his father and grandfather per mitted to become debts of the government. We suspect that Senator Javits has been listening to professional educationists. This country should have learned by this time that there are a good many facets of living which are better taken care of at the grass roots level up than from the federal bureaus down. Perhaps Senator Javits and the others might better turn their at tention to an effort to stabilize the dollar so such loans for edu cation would not become neces sary in the future. borators, who own property in the neighborhood.

Off-lienf olcs By TOM ST1MMEL Maybe you didn't notice it cith er, but the tower of the Esquire Theater was replaced without its spire. And therein lies a mys tery. Mana;cr Bill Gcllatly said the spire, when examined on the ground this winter, revealed a bul let hole near the top. Looked like some marksman caught the spire in the scope of a high-powered rifle, Gcllatly said. It may have happened a long time ago. Quite a delegation attended a final session of the County Budget Board on Friday. And that's a change. County Commissioner Ed Gow- en, who has been in office 10 years, said only one other citizen had been interested enough to show up in the past. "He came in, asked one ques- ion, said 'fine.' and walked out," tiowen recalled.

'. So, it is rather to be expected that somebody would come up with a proposal for Uncle Sam to loot the bill. That's what New York's Senator Jacob K. Javits Baa done.

(Buena) Stone at the marker rededication Sunday, June 21, at Moore Park. Her re marks are republished here for benefit of our readers. Tho Italnlona Slory By MRS. L. H. STONE It has been said that the word Shenandoah is the most euphoni ous word on the American map loaay we consider its twin in euphony, Eulalona. Eulalona is it not most musi cal to the car? The meaning in the Lutuamian tongue is a rubbing a moving to and fro where the cascade noise is. Thus, at the well known place where the cascade noise was heard, grew an Indian village of persons, mostly at the times of the salmon run. The vil lage occupied both sides of the river as it left the lake. To the village of Eulalona. in 1846, just about this time of year, came John C. Fremont and his men, en route along the western shore of the lake, seeking a wa gon pass through the cascades. They found the river so swift that tl.cy hired Indians to carry their goods across, and so full of sal mon that they secured many fine fish for food. Nine years later Eulalona vil lage saw another expedition, the one led by Lieutenants Williamson and Abbot, seeking for a best route for a Pacific railroad. Here, too, stood Dr. Newberry, scientist, and Phil Sheridan, later to become famous in the War Between the States. i The ISBO'j saw another kind of group at the village. This was the party of Lindsay Applegate, who came to establish the Indian Agency. Many other feet have trod this ground both in peace and in war. So, when the Daughters of the American Revolution cast about for an appropriate name, they chose, partly for historical signifi cance, the sweet-sounding name of the village Eulalona. It was (it ting, too, that they should erect a marker for the Klamath Indian village. So, on May 30. 1934. this marker was first erected. Native stone, with a bronze marker which says: "Eulalona Indian village, a populous settlement on both sides of the river before the white man's era." Originally the marker stood on a point of rocks at the confluence of lake and river. Later it was moved across the road, but that spot was too close to the crowded highway. So, today, 25 years later, on the birthday anniversary of the chap ter which bears its name, we ap propriately rcdedicate the marker for the village called Eulalona. pretty brunette.

Twenty six people working in It parties made the survey during the period June 6-14. The area covered in cluded the Upper Klamath Marsh,! Crater Lake and Wood River Val ley, Upper Klamath and Lower Klamath Lake regions, Tule Lake, Clear Lake and the Modoc Lava Beds. The list that follows gives the names of species and the number of parties reporting seeing them. Such a list is not complete in spite of the intensive work put forth by the bird observers, how ever, it does emphasize the fact that there are few places in the West that can equal the Klamath Basin in the, number and variety of species that can be seen in so short a period of time. Twenty six per cent of the birds, 52 species on the list were reported as being seen by one party, 18 per cent, 36 species were rf ported by two parties. These two groups account for 88, of the 196 species reported. On the other end of the list only six per cent. 12 species, were observed by all 11 parties. As in the case of all such bird watching efforts a number of species were successful in eluding the watchers during this nine day period.
