TEXAS CHILDREN ON
' WHITE HOUSE VISIT
(Anocfatal Prat Leued Wire)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21, Presi
dent Hoover today held up the re
ception of many callers to grant
a special audience to smiling Ger
trude and Billy Windsor, who came
all the way from Tyler, Texas, to
see the executive and neariy iost
out
Gertrude, who is eleven, with
pretty chestnut curls, and her
brother, Billy, three years her Jun
ior, drove tip to the white houBe
with their parents. While the
mother and father waited in the
lobby Gertrude and Billy went to
see Secretary Akersoa and gave
him the following letter:
"Dear President Hoover:
"Billy and I came ail the way
tram Tyler, Texas, to see yoij and
now they tell us we can't sea you
because the senators we know are
away from Washington.
"I don't blame you for not want
ing to shake hands with so many
people, but isn't there some way
we could just see you before we
leave. I am eleven and Billy is
eight.
"We have begged mother and
daddy for nearly a year to bring
us here and I'm afraid we won't
get to come back for a tong, long
time.
With love from Gertrude and
Billy Windsor."
The president was shown the let
ter and granted the children an
interview at once. He sent them
away happy with autographed pic
tures of himself. Neither Gertrude
nor Billy were shy when t con
fronted by newspapermen.
We enjoyed it fine," the little
girl said with a smile. Billy was
beaming too and when asked what
the president talked about re
plied. "Oh, he told us a lot ot things.
He told us about a dog be got from
the south pole or maybe it was
the north pole and it was so warm
for lilm here that whenever the
ice-man came around he used to
sit on the cakes of ice,"
APPRECIATION OF
LATE LAFE ENGELS
By MRS. S. J. SHRUM
Another has left the group of
early pioneers and has gone down
the long, long trail on which no
traveler ever returns. Our pioneer

rade of many happy days Lafe

whole life, from childhood to the
grave. Prom the old Kneels home.

had died, he too passed on. Rarely
is it gives to man to live a whole
life in one home. What a heritage
to have boyhood, manhood, father
hood and old age in. one home! If
the wails ot this dear old home
could speck, what stories from the
pages of life they would give to
those to whom this home has
meant so much.
In the years Lafe Engels lived
he made many acquaintances and
very loyal friends. Like his father
before him he was an active pio
neer and at home in the moun
tains. Many a traveler will remem
ber him as he sat around the
campflre at he end of the day, en
tertainmg with ills stories of early
days and the hunt. The mountain
trails were home to him. The
lakes, rivers and timber of these
mountains were his inspiration.
We, his friends, will long re
member his smile ot welcome, his
onen hand and warm heart. To
those in distress, to the sick and
bereaved, he was always sympath
etic. He was trua to tha traditions
of hia family, having treasured
many relies of former years,
among them a quilt 73 years old,
an old tomahawk from his rela
tives in Kentucky and nwnv other
tilings. - ,
. H. li. Engels was born at Oak
creek June 5, 1859, the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Allan Engels, who cross
ed tha plains from Kansas in 1852.
He was married October 15. 1885.
to SuBan Ella lawrence of Gold
Beach, also of a pioneer family.
Six children were born to them.
Three children are living: Mrs.
Charles Christauson, Mrs. Seth
Matthews, Oiide, and Lee Engels,
Roseburg. He also leaves two
grandchildren, Haxme and Hay
Engels of Kogemirg, A sister, Mrs.
Mary Btirge. lives In CorvslllB.
Mrs. Engels died Sentember 6.
1924, and on December 24, 1927, he
was married to Mrs. May Evarts,
an oid friend of the family, and Bhe
survives him. She and the children
were with him daring his last ill
ness. The many flowers presented
during his illness and at his burial
were mute tokess of the esteem in
which he was held by the com
munity. .

Authority in Question.
As the request for a special legis
lation is understood here, it con
templates the enactment of legis
lation permanently withdrawing
ail unappropriated water sites In
the state from filings except for
public development and to grant
priority rights to municipalities and
other governmental units in the ap
propriation of water for public pur
poses.
The question to raised in state
house circles as to whether the
legislature has authority to enact
retroactive legislation which would
withdraw from appropriation pow
er sites upon wulch private inter
ests have matin application and
preliminary filings in full conform
ity with existing statutes.
Citing the opinion of the attorney
general In the case of the Rogue
river, on which the legislature in
1929 withdrew ail fillnc rights
Luper said thai he is convinced
that the tegisiajure has full control
over waters not actually asproprt
ated, although applications might
oe penning.
Gross Admits Reoucst
PORTLAND, Aug. 21. Harry L.
Gross, Portland attorney, said to
day he and others had requested
Governor Norhlad to call a special
legislative aessioa to pass legisla
tion withdrawing all public water
power sites tn Oregon from further
private exploitation.
, Gross said he conferred with the
governor yesterday and previously
had communicated with the execu
tive elaborating on present power
combine activities.
. The Portland attorney, accom
panied by Bjora Johannson, Port
land, said the cost of the special
session, estimated at between $35,
000 and $,000, would be trivial
In comparison wiih ihe $70,000,000
in sites which "the power combine
is allegedly attempting to obtain."
Gross said" the governor indicated
his interest by recalling that In
1921 he and the iate Senator George
W. Joseph introduced a joint reso
lution providing tor conservation
of the water power resources.
The proposed withdrawal of pub
lic water power sites from private
exploitation would be temporary or
until uie peonie Bad a chance to
vote on the question, Gross said.

"The people of Oregon most

value of these resources and will
act to hold them ior the people,"
