Sinn0tt COrreCtS
A MiSStatement

The following letter from Philip
j. Sinnott, klamath copntys repre-
sentative, will prevent any misunder-
standing arising between the Jack
son county and klamath county peo-
pie because of an item which ap-
peared in the klamath Falls Herald
some time ago and which was re-
printed, properly credited, in the It'd
ings. The article stated that some
klamath Falls men returned from
San Francisco with the story that
klamath county had been given ex-
elusive right to show moving pictures
of Crater Lake after a rumpus with
other officials:
Editor Tidings, Ashland, Ore:
Noticing in recent issue of your pa
per an excerpt from the klamath
Falls Herald regarding the showing
of Crater Lake film in the Oregon
buildings motion picture theatre at
the exposition, | wish to make little
statement for the benefit of your
wide circle of readers.
Whoever furnished the informa-
tion on which the article was based
was evidently misinformed regarding
the motion picture program, for in
stead of partiality being shown any
one section regarding Crater Lake,
films of this great scenic wonder of
southern Oregon are shown twice
daily, once during the exhibition of
the klamath county movies, and
again when 'Grace's Visit to the
Rogue River Valley is thrown on
the screen.
81 wish to state also that we work
ers at the exposition boost for the
entire state as well as for our own
sections, and that between Mr.. Froh-
bach, Mr.. Sheldon and myself there
has been the utmost harmony and
perfect cooperation at all times. We
consider Crater Lake as southern
Oregon's, not Medford's, klamath
Falls or Ashlands, and the advice
we have given all tourists has been
to go to the lake by one route, say
from klamath Falls, and leave via
Jackson county points, thus enjoying
a much more diversified trip with no
more trouble.
"It has been the same with all
other matters pertaining to southern
Oregon, and we all feel that this CO.
operation has been of tremendous
advantage to all of our sections. In
stead of knocks, we exchange boosts,
and it is with view to correcting
any erroneous impression that might
arise regarding Crater Lake exploita-
tion that write this. Jackson coun-
ty can we'll be proud of Messrs.
Frohbach and Sheldon in their ef-

Hybrid Grouse and
Pheasant Found

A cross between a China pheasant
and a grouse was shot in Yamhill
county and was turned over to the
state game commission. The bird is
the second of its kind found in Ore
gon. The game officials will try to
breed this new variety of hybrid
pheasant, as it is heavier than the or
dinary bird, the specimen secured
weighing AZ ounces, and would be a
valuable addition to the game birds
of the state.
