Welfare House Invaded
By Canyonville Youth
Five young children, the oldest
about 8 years old, ransacked the
Dorcas Welfare House one day
last week, probably Friday, re
port Mrs. R. . Proctor, Canyon
ville correspondent.
Canyonville City Police Chief
Heed Gross rounded up the culprits
and reported the misdemeanor to
the county juvenile authorities.
According to Gross, the children
live in Canyonville and have been
auspected of similar pranks. The
Dorcas ladies said everything had
been upset and scattered around
and dirtied, and It took them two
days to clean up the premises. T.
L. Weaver owns the building. No
official action has been taken so
far Gross said.
BEAUTIFUL PEST
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)-The
violet and white .water hyacinth is
one of Florida's most attractive
flowers and the worst pest in its
fresh water.
The. state has spent thousands of
dollars combating this floating
plant, which often drifts into pack
ed masses so thick that boat traf
fic is impossible. It is difficult to
rid a stream of water hyacinths
beoause they erow back from hid
den buds and sprout from seeds
which will lie dormant for years
before bursting into growth.

luld me, 'There's a guy in your
business who knows as much
I about it as anybody Randolph
Scott.' "
I tramped to Scott's dressing
room and tried to fire him up.
'.McC'rea says you're the richest
I gun in the West," I said.
"Look who's talking." Scntt
said with a tight-lipped smile.
"Why, McCrea is one of the real
ly big cattle dealers. He got in it
early and made a fortune.
"And look at the land he's got.
He bought up 2,500 acres for a
song, and now they're worth a
fortune. He just sold off part of
it just a few acres and he made
something like $1.3 million. Just
a few acres!"
McCrea confessed: "I've been
lucky. 1 made some dough be
cause I invested in the only thing
I know about land."
So it was a standoff. I couldn't
even get them mad over billing.
Scott's IMine goes on top, and he
won it fair and square.
"We flipped a com," said Scott.
"Actuallv. I didn't even know it
was happening. We were having
lunch at the Brown Derby with
the producer, Dick Lyons, and the
director, Sam l'eckinpah. and I
thought they were nipping to see
who got tne check.

Washington Investor Buys Famed
Cornucopia Gold Mine At Baker
BAKER, Ore. (AP) A Spokane
I investor Monday has bought for
$11,100 the famed Cornucopia Mine
which once yielded an estimated
$15 million worth oi gold.
Craig Stollc purchased assets of
the long-abandoned eastern Ore
gon mine property for his father,
Carl M. Stolle, a partner in the
Stuile lnvestment Co., at a bank
ruptcy sale.
The assets include 1.000 acres
of land, half a dozen old mine
! buildings, and part of the aban
jdoned townsile of Cornucopia.
The mine was opened about 1884.
At one time, 350 persons worked
land lived at Cornucopia. Stolle
said bis father hopc.i the price of
'gold will increase so that some
day it may be profitable to reopen
the mine, which has not been
worked for 20 years.
Possibility of developing the
area as a resort also was men
tioned. Presiding over the sale was Bill
Jackson, an attorney for James L.
Bowman of Pittsburgh, Pa., trus
tee of the creditors.
A hearing will be held in Pitts
burgh Nov. 27 in the office of
Stephen P. Laffey, referee in
bankruptcy, to confirm the Baker
sale.
There were three bidders. Lee
Thompson of Halfway, Ore., was
second high at $11,000.
Baker County has some $2,500
in tax liens a gains' the property.
Chris Schneider, the caretaker,
has filed a labor lien of S4.487.
Other substantial debts are re
ported outstanding in the East.
I Earl Bell, the former owner,
went to Brazil in 1857.
Move Cautiously,
Says Supt. Minear
School board members were ad
vised by Dr. Leon P. Minear,
state superintended of public in
struction, to "makj haate slowly"
in acting on an Oregon Supreme
Court decision that school districts
must stop providing free testbooks
to parochial schools.
He said there are about 400.000
students in Oregon public and pri
vate schools, and that each stu
dent uses about five or six books
at a cost of about $2.50 a book,
with most books lasting five years.
About 17 per cent of these stu
dents are in parochial schools.
This mans that in the last five
years about SI million in books
has been provided in the parochial
schools, he said.
"What part of this SI million in
vestment whould be withdrawn?"
he asked. "We must be careful
not to put the oarochial schools
in the difficult position of having
to recoup this loss all at once.
"My advice to you is 'Make
haste slowly'."
