Rambo, formerly of Baker, and for many years engaged in missionary work In India and the Near East countries, have returned to the United States on furlough. News of their return has been received by State Manager J. J. Handsaker, in charge of the combined China-Near East relief campaigns for the state, in a telegram from New York, where ttoe Rambos landed a few days ago. Throughout the Near East, the mes sage states, everything is "generally amuck," with little prospect of im provement until definite action la taken by the Allies in regard to the Turk-ridden nations. Conditions In Greece and the Caucasus are touched upon, with details of the appalling sit uation at Batoum, where the veteran missionaries have spent several months among the 16,000 Greek refu gees surviving from the thriving Cau casus colony located there before the war. The Rambos were on their way home last fall and had reached Con stantinople, when the call came for them to go to Batoum and aid the refugees there until the latter could be brought back to Salonika, where the Greek government is endavoring to make some sort of provision for re turning Grecian refugees. In letters written from Batoum, re cently received by Mr. Handsaker, the Rambos tell of thousands of families being huddled together in rain-soaked tents and abandoned barracks, beset with typhus and other diseases, half naked and starving. 'And 10,000 more refugees are on their way here from Kars," the letter concludes. "These are now In the snow-covered mountains, and as many as can pull through will soon be here. What we shall do then we do not know. Everything here la unsettled and disturbing. It Is con sidered certain that the Nationalists or the Bolshevik!, or both, will soon take the city and no one knows what will result." In a later letter they speak of the arrival of a ship to take back a load of refugee! for repatria tion and the Joy it brought to the camp, although the Salonika camp to which they were bound could offer little additional In the way of food, clothing or other relief. Previous letters, written from the Near East, tell of the enforced flight "at the wlhm of a Turkish official," of the Rambos and 200 little orphans in their charge. They had to leave at moment's notice and in the dark, traveling all night on foot and carry ing their own blankets, clothing and everything else they possessed. They were allowed no lights and were told not to speak above a whisper, as mur derous Turks were running riot all along tho way. After stumbling along through water and over rocks for hours, they reached the railroad sta tion at day-break, exhausted but with out the Iobs of one of t he 200 children, nut none too soon, ror witn tne com ing of light the Turtts discovered what was afoot and began firing upon them from the hillsides, the little caravan of exhausted children and missionaries making the last hundred yards through a hall of bullets. The Rambos conducted their 200 charges, with many adventures and hardships, to safety within the walls of a Rritlsh Relief station, and, turned homeward, stopping over for a day for rest at Adana. While they slept, exhausted, the Turks tore up the rail roads leading to and from Adana, and left them marooned In the hot, dusty, besieged city They awoke to find bullets breaking through thlr walls and whistling all around them. With Miss Grane, u young American relief worker, they finally started from Adana In a Near East Ford, Joining a refugee caravan and fleeing south ward. Thy were shot at repeatedly and at a dHiigerous pass waited three hours before daring to attempt the run across an open space. At last with Mrs. Rambo and Miss Grane lashed to the running board of the Ford, behind a barricade of baggage on the opposite side from the heaviest firing, and Rambo himself at the wheel, with baggage, piled high all around him to ward off tho bullets, they made the rush, "driving like Jehu for two miles," until beyond the aim of the bandits " After many other stren uous experiences they made they way to Constantinople, going from thi'tv to Batoum for several months, theuce home to the Cnited States. SENIOR CLASS PLAY TOMORROW NIGHT Tomorrow night the annual senior class play will be given at the high school auditorium. "The Gold Bug," a comedy characterized by interesting dramatic action, has been chosen as the vehicle. Members of the senior class have displayed much histrionic ability in recent high schcol affairs, and in anticipation of an interesting evening citizens of city and valley are indicating a full house by the purchase of tickets. Most of the graduates, according to Supt. Cannon, will attend some one of the Northwest's institutions of higher education next year. A canvass of the students shows that 15 of the 41 stu dents will attend the Oregon Agricul tural College, five will go to the Uni versity of Oregon, two plan on attend ing the Oregon Normal at Monmouth, one the Washington Normal at Belling ham, four will go to business college, two will teach, four h.ave not deter mined on their college, one plans on going to the University of Washington and six will work the coming year.

Newhouse, who has been appointed to take charge of community recreation work here this summer, will meet all boys from 7 to 18 years old, inclusive, at the Park Street school for the pur pose of organizing a community club. I his club will be divided into four subdivisions and will thus turnisli a basis upon which the summer recrea tional work will revolve. Mr. New house will establish an employment bureau for the boys and asks the hearty cooperation of all having small odd jobs. The work will be under way about June 1.

Columbia is Rising Rising at the rate of 12 inches in 24 hours, the Columbia is reaching the usual spring freshet stage here. The rising waters have already put an end to activities of local golfers, who had improvised a course on a huge sandbar north of the city. The big bar is al most covered. The river is now rising around the new power ferry boat just constructed by the Hood River-White Samon Ferry Co., and the new craft, it is expected, will be put into commission by the end of the week. The new boat will have a capacity of 10 automobiles at a trip and will facilitate traffic between here and Washington points. Rains Develop Scab Fungus WhileJ the rains occuring at frequent intervals this spring have been of ines timable value to strawberry growers end vegetable gardeners as well as a benefit to apples and other fruits, Le- roy Childs cites that the continued moisture has developed scab fungus in ditlerent sections. Mr. ( hilds warns growers to adhere rigidly to programs for the application of lime-sulnhur spray for the control of the scab.which had been fairly eradicated here. Galligan Brings in First Berries The first Clark Seedling strawberries for the season were brought to town Monday by Wilbur Galligan, who grew them at a protected point on the north bank of the Columbia near Cooks, 'Wash. Mr. Galligan, who for a num ber of years has brought the first ber ries to this city, presented the first harvest of five hallocks to the force of Perigo & Son. It is not expected that any berries will be harvested here for another week, although Mr. Galligan expects to pick a crate before the week is over. F.lectric Dishwasher Installed Bishop W. H. Lamhuth. In charge of the Methodise missions in North China, where 4.r,000,000 are faced with starvation as the result of u disastrous flood followed by two seasons of drouth, says: "Their clothea are ragged and scanty Their only food ts a gruel made of weeds, leaves, chaff and corn cobs One cold night In January in one refugee camp alone, one thousand of these starved, weakened human creatures froie to death. What is to be done MM be done within the next five months, yes, within the next two or three months. Otherwise millions will perish." The death rate In the famine sec tion Is estimated at 15.000 daily, with typhus and other dlaeascs beginning to rage. The only hope of the despair Ing millions 1s In food supplies pro vided in tremendous quantities by the people of the United States.
