SI Dana Tells Of New Zealand's Dairy Industry Portland Man Speaks- At Pleasant Grove Meeting Board of Directors Is Elected. Marshall N. Dana, associate editor of the Oregon Journal, was speaker yesterday to the members of the Farmers Cooperative creamery at Pleasant Grove. Mr. Dana told of his trip to New Zealand where he Investigated the dairy Industry in the Interests of the Oregon dairy In dustry to see what was the secret, If any, of the success of the Industry In New Zealand. Mr. Dana was in terested In Interpreting the success for Oregon dairymen because New Zealand had been successful in building a marvelous Industry, ship ping butter all the way around the world and competing successfully In the world markets with manufact urers such as the Danes who are much nearer the centers of popu lation. He pointed out the secrets of their success as follows: First was qual ity, which was insured by not only local Inspectors of dairys but by government inspectors who had to put their stamp of approval on all shipments before they left the coun try Second, they had developed pasture growing, on their own farms to the highest possible efficiency through fertilizing and careful se lection of grass adapted to Heavy grazing. The next thing was climate,- which is much like that of tho Western Oregon coast, with rain almost every month in tho year and In a great abundance which is very suitable for growing grass and there fore aids dairying. - Efficiency One Point Efficiency was their next point. They milk in small milking sheds near the pastures, bringing cows In a few at a time, milking with ma chines, milk going through pipes into containers which are taken, to tho factories. After milking, the cows are Immediately turned. Into the pasture again and another group brought in for milking. The last point is the cooperation which has been developed by manufacturers of butter to the very highest efficiency. AU dairies operated by the farmers are under the direction of the gov ernment. Inspection is furnished by tho government and partly paid for by the producers. - Not only Is the (Contlnuod on Page Five) Two Blocks Near Normal School To Get Sewers ,, . . , Property owners In blocks 44 . and SY, Cbapllr.'s addition, In the J and Eights street district near the Nor mal school,- are to be supplied with sanitary, sewers.

Homes surrounding these two blocks already have sanitary sewer connections. All three commissioners ex pressed themselves as favorable to tho sewer project after considerable discussion. A petition for sewers in thie district Is already on flic In the city office. The franchise ordinance ior the Natural Gas Corporation of Oregon was road for the second time last night and on motion, the third read ing will be held at the proper time about tho last of August. Home Outside Of City Limits Is ; Ruined by Fire A six-room house, 'belonging to Mi-. Led bettor and located outside of the 1 , city limits, was three-fourths destroyed by fire early this morning, believed caused from a defective flue, according to Fire Chief C. T. I Lindsay. In combatting the blaze some dif ficulty was experienced because of the necessity of laying a very long length of hose in order to get water on the blazing house. The roof was practically destroyed and the fire worked into the main section of the house before it was extinguished, j Firemen saved practically all of the furniture. I Tho house was protected from loss by Insurance, it Is reported. The alarm was at 3:10 a. m. and the re call 20 minutes later. Trying To Finish Mooney Hearing SAN FRANCISCO.

MYERS AND RYDER -ARE HELD GUILTY Elgin Men Each Fined ;;$1(X)0 in Federal court' ; ' on Liquor : Charges j PORTLAND, Ore., July 31 Donald E. Myers and 'Forrest Ryder, Elgin, Ore., defendants on liquor charges. .were found guilty yesterday on two counts each by a jury in reaerni Judge McNary's court and were sent enced to pay a fine of 8500 on each count, a total of $1000 each for the two counts. No Jail sentence was imposed by Judge McNary as the re- 1 suit of a recommendation for leni ency which accompanied the Jury's verdict. The case was one of the hardest- fought prohibition cases in federal court in recent years, and was a re trial of the same charges against the two men' in June when another Jury disagreed after staying out over night. , The second trial, opeiud on Wed nesday, July 23, and continued through until 10:30 a. m. Tuesday, July 29, when it wont to the Jury. Tho Jury considered the case all day Tuesday and Tuesday night, and re turned to the courtroom at 10 a. m. vestcrday. when further Instructions were asked of Judge McNary. An hour and one-half later tho Jury re turned with its verdict. Defendants Lucky, Hoys Judge In passing tho sentence, Judge McNary stated he took into consid eration the Jury's recommendation, but ho felt that the defendants were extremely fortunate in being found guilty only of possession of a still and possession of liquor, because in possession of these objects they would bo presumed to have operated the still and to have transported the liquor, both of which were charges upon which they were acquitted. The two trials had been extremely expensive for both the defendants and the federal government, due to tho fact that approximately 40 per sons were brought from Elgin, 300 miles cast of Portland, to this city to testify during tho two trials, and many of them had to remain In Portland for several days during each trip. Legge Expects Board to Handle 25 Per Cent of 1930 Wheat Crop WASHINGTON. July 31 (Chair man Legge of the farm board satd today he expected the Farmers Na tional Grain corporation to handle 25 per cent of the 1930 wheat crop. He added the amount of cotton handled for the season by the Amer ican Cotton Cooperative association probably would far exceed that handled cooperatively In any other year. However., he said, the associa tion was getting Btsrted too late to handle as much of the staple as some of its more optimistic ofllccrs ex pected. The grain corporation and cotton association operate with farm board approval. Legge said questions bearing on the immediate handling of wheat, -cotton and livestock will be dis $27,500,000 To j Be Expended On ; Power Project! Five New Applications , Received by State Engi neer; Work to Cover Period of 28 Years.' SALEM. Ore.. July 31 A Expend iture of $27,500,000 and tho creation oS 245,420 horsepower by the California-Oregon Power company in its development of Klamath river from the Grant powor site to the Cali fornia line are indicated In applica tions for water rights filed today with State Engineer Luper. The Grant power site Is about 16 miles west of Klamath Falls. Luper said there was no doubt that the applications would be granted with reservations for tho protection of irrigation Interests above the power sites. Luper thinks the program of the power company has been formulatetd to cover a per iod of about 28 years. The company has before the federal power com mission applications for license to uso right of way on federal land, which, it is understood, will be granted as soon as state approval of tho applications now before the en gineer and the state reclamation commiss on Is given. Five Applications The applications, received today, fivo in number, are In addition to an original application that has been pending since 1924. " he original application proposed ? e develop ment of 70,057 horsepower at the Grant powor site at an estimated cost of $7,000,000. Each of the five new applications, as did the old one. requests the appropriation of 1500 second feet. One proposes the utili zation of a fall of 200 feet and the development of 34,091 horsepower at an estimated cost of $4,008,000; the fall of 274 feet. 36.477 horsepower at I a cost of $4,500,000; the third a fall of 384 feet. 65.456 horsepower at a cost of $5,500,000; the fourth a fall of 100 feet. 17,045 horsepower at a cost of 92,600,000; and tho fifth a fall of 166 feet, 22,295 horsepower at a cost of $4,000,000. The applications were accompan ied by a filing fee of $5850. Tho distance covered by the pro posed development, from the Grant power site to the California line. Is about 15 miles. The new filings apparently follow a suggestion made by state Engineer Luper in an exchange of telegrams a few days ago with Paul: Rclss, at torney for the power company, who Is now In Washington. Relss stat ed in effect that he had como to terms with the federal power com mission Whlch would be roady to act as soon as assurance could bo had that the stato would grant the ap plications. Relss intimated a more extensive development than that in dicated in tho company's original application, and Luper advised him .that-, new-or junerded application should, be filed accordingly..
