The November average level of 2.4 feet continues to hold steady in spite of the rain and snow storm which visited the state last week end, records of N. R.

The scheme of the swindlers was scientific in its conception. The idea was interestingly unique.

Its simplicity was the magnet that attracted. A telegram was simply "sent home" asking for funds and directing the hotel to which the money was to be sent. But Mrs. Rowe knew that it was not a habit of her husband to telegraph for funds and put in a long distance telephone call to check on the telegram. She was advised that no telegram had been sent and that her husband was not staying at the hotel mentioned in the message.

Thus, the scheme was exposed. Police investigation at Chicago disclosed that the ring had been widely active and that a number of Californians had been similarly selected for fleecing. It is profitable to be curious, which is nothing more than cautious when money is at stake. Mrs. Rowe's caution conserved a considerable sum.

It was verbose, but lacked constructive suggestion and failed to carry "the. punch" which might inspire confidence in any section of the nation.

The rank and file of his party are frankly disappointed, the Republican press is noticeably silent where it does not actually attack and even the Old Guard regulars like Curtis, Fess, Moses, Smoot and others of that brand are strangely lacking in enthusiastic approval. Of course, Mr. Mellon thinks it is a good message. He naturally would, in that the only tangible idea in the entire document is an appeal for more money via increased taxes. As a whole, however, the message is a distinct failure.

An analysis fails to discover a redeeming paragraph. It lacks the literary charm and grace and logic of a Wilson the sturdy, courageous reasoning of a Cleveland the daring, zip and bombast of a Roosevelt the ponderous argumentation of a Taft; or. the political cunning of a McKinley. It seemingly is but another Harding Coolidge effort of' "explanations" when it is not just a renewal of faith in God Almighty and a paean in praise of the wisdom and greatness of the American people. Although the message was so wordy and long that it was necessary to send it to congress in two sections, there is not a single recommendation, except for increased taxes, in the entire instrument.

It commends the administration upon its activities in foreign affairs but shows no accomplishments and suggests nothing for the future the reports of the Laval and Grandi visits were childishly trivial and the same may be asserted 1 dative to the state department's interferences in the Sino Japanese mess. And the promise to return the marines from Nicaragua next year. Pretty nearly everybody has heard that before heard it so often they have committed it to memory. Muscle Shoals, the tariff, some method of reducing the cost of government all these subjects merely were recitals wholly absent of a constructive thought. But The message is emphatic in its appeal for money to meet a deficit.

A considerable deficit. A deficit that might be expected with the policies pursued by an administration that will sponsor a Smoot Hawley bill, that will appoint a commission every day, that will play politics with a board that is expected to function for the benefit of agriculture. But what's the use: It will only be about sixteen months longer and this unhappy presidential episode will have ended. And sixteen months is not long in the history of a nation. Be of good cheer, next vear's elections are coming.

0 0 0 Prison Inefficiency One wonders whether it is the desperate courage of the convicts or a lack of efficiency in prison organization that is causing the astonishing number of penitentiary escapes and riots. To one at this distance, it seems curious that seven men would simultaneously kidnap six prison officers, one of them being the warden himself, and use them as a shield against other prison guards as happened at Leavenworth last week. The incident does not suggest conspiracy; rather it suggests inefficiency or incomptency, or lack of courage and physical strength expected of officers. It also suggests a queer organization that makes possible such an almost unbelievable situation. It is not easy to agree with the annex warden who says the prison guards should have shot, regardless of whether they killed a captive guard or a convict.

It was better to have acted as they did and let the convicts go with the chance of capturing them later, which actually happened, three being slain. But it is easy to agree to the theory that thp guards and not the convicts are at fault. After each cf these outbreaks, there are disclosed a series of facts that tend to prove an almost entire absence of prison organization. Inquiry shows that discipline of the guards and convicts is foolishly loose; that partiality is rampant, no semblance of rigid system law to permit children to quit school were miormed today. the Dairying and marketing vvc irman, 45, of Alexandria, after thev leave the eighth grade principal subjects under consideration engineer, and an unidentified and tor an increase of 1 cent the at the monthly meeting of the bprrng mai! whfl was "rid; the blind; ite gasoline tax.

The club also discussed lough, struck Watchman Podd over Funeral Rites Held LOOKING BACK A group of hardy young men met last night to celebrate the closing of another successful football season Of course, it was composed of the boys who hae added new laurels to Woodland high school's fame on the football field, and it was mighty interesting to see them meeting together and looking back over a year's accomplishment There were no alibis for defeats and no gloating over victories The players showed that their sportsmanship is not limited' to the football field, but is really a part of their lives And examples of that quality makes us realize that there really is a raison d'etre for football. Two features stand out in our mind as the leading events of that banquet One was the presence of Captain Bruce Beeman, sitting in a wheel chair with his legs stretched out in front of him, still unable to use them following an operation on his injured knee But he is well on the road to recovery, and in that fact is deep satifaction to just one of many who admired his efforts and conduct on the field The other outstanding event was the spontaneous outburst of approval that followed the nomination of Douglas Spencer as captain of next year's team The election merely displayed the respect he commands among his fellow students. Doug, in his acceptance speech, let it be known that his folks may be moving from Woodland to Tehama county, but that his heart is still in Woodland He added that if it is possible to do so, he will remain next year in the local school, not only to be captain of the football team, but to continue the friendships that he has created here His selection met with unanimous approval of coaches, faculty members, players and the few outsiders who It is seldom that this column is devoted to the realm of sports, hut this is one time when we want to take our hat off to the members of the high school football team Not only have they proved themselves good sportsmen, but they have been graceful winners and smiling losers The defeats that did come hurt, but the players were always ready to admit that the other team had the stuff that was just a little bit more than they could offer. Coaches Justus Lawson and Ed Farr have done a lot in building up a spirit of unity on the football squad It was just one big family last night with each boy showing a profound respect for the other and for the coaches It is a big responsibility that Justus and Ed have, but they measure up to the task and are doing it in a wonderful manner. Woodland has learned the lesson that is hardest to learn in the gridiron sport That it takes a team and not individuals to win football games The local players have learned to work as a unit, and the reserves were always ready to step in and keep perfect time with any and all piavs that might be called Even college football teams find difficulty in learning that lesson, but the local squad is not composed of individuals seeking the spotlight, but of units ready to make the machine click on schedule That alone justifies the game of football We join those who wish many seasons of continued success for the football teams of the local high school.

appears to be in operation, and the matter of constant precaution totally absent. Every so often there is an outbreak at Leavenworth and a scandal at Atlanta. It seems there arc enough proven officers, those endowed with both courage and ability, in the United States, from which there might be selected two men to head these two institutions. If those who do the appointing made an honest search, it is pretty certain, too, that the right men can be found. We will make a wager that a liquor ring or an opium joint will be discovei'ed by Atlanta and another "dash" for liberty made at Leavenworth before the robins come again.
