Edgar Barton arrived Saturday from
Fayetteville, W. Va., and during the
open session of the Promise grange, at
the lecturer's hour, related some of
the experiences of his trip. He said
he left the east June 6 and not car
ing to start out walking he. .took a
bus to Huntington and from there
started hiking. In a little while he
was picked up by a man driving a
truck and from then on he walked
but very little. His rides were most
ly on trucks, driven 5y men making
long runs, but which also sometimes
took him a long way from the direct
route. He stated that conditions are
much worse in the east than here.
He thought Indiana was the worst
state through which he passed
and Missouri the slowest to offer him
a ride. He came through Kansas City
end near there saw fine fields of po
tatoes all In bloom but farther west
he found the wheat, crop very poor.
He spent 'his. nights in hotels and
ate at restaurants. While coming
through Wyoming he found himself
one night far from a hotel so de
cided to try sleeping out In the sage
brush, but the mosquitoes were so
bad he moved on and walked most
of the night. At Caldwell, Ida., he
stopped at the home of Frank Pack
and helped with harvest for a few
days and from there caught a ride
to North Powder. There he met a
. man who was coming to Wallowa. By
chance, there he met his old friend,
Obe Swearlngen, from Promise and he
rode into Promise with him Saturday
morning. This makes nine times he
has crossed the United States, once
by train, seven times by auto and
once by hitch-hiking. He left Sun-
i day on his way back to Idaho where
he expects to do some mining and
says if he strikes It rich he wlU set
tle down. If not he will keep roam
ing. His parents who spent two years
In Oregon and accompanied him back
to West Virginia a year ago, are still
the' His mother has been very 111
and la still confined to her bed. His
brother, Reuben Barton, lives at
Promise.
The young folks enjoyed a dance
at the Orange hall Saturday evening.
Charles Wortman took I. 8. McDon
ald to Wallowa Friday to have his
hand dressed. It is Improving nice
ly. Harvey McDonald who has been
attending the fire school at Camp 10
returned with them.

Bishop Cannon Jr.
Amazed At Actions
At Bourbon Caucus
CHICAGO, June 30 () Bishop
James t Cannon Jr., thOv. Southern
Methodist churchman who led a mlJlV
tant fight against Alfred E. Smith In
1928, said today the commendation by
Senator Walsh, of Montana, last night
on the conduct of the convention,
floor during the prohibition debate
was "the most amazing I ever heard
In a political convention.? '
"Tho conduct in the convention
was most reprehensible," the Bishop
said. "It Indicated very clearly that
repeal supporters did not believe In
fair play. I see no other way to In
terpret the behavior." .
Bishop Cannon said newspapers
were hurled at htm several times,
but he added they might not have
been directed at hlmi personally. He
said he did not know who had thrown
them and that others who did not
stand during the demonstrations
might have had similar experiences.
The churchman declined to com
ment on the prohibition plank Itself,
but said In all probability he would
have a statement later, .
ERROR CORRECTED
CHICAGO, June 30 (JP) The As
sociated Press corrects a statement
made June 25 to the effect that
Bishop James Cannon Jr., Southern
Methodist bishop, appealed to the
Democratic resolutions committee for
a declaration In favor of prohibition
In the party platform.
The story should have stated the
veteran dry leader urged a law en
forcement plank and asked that pro
hibition not be made a party Issue" or
the subject of the plank In tho Demo
cratic platform.
Bishop Cannon today said this had
always been his position and that he
had opposed declarations for prohi
bition as well as declarations against
Drohibltion In party platforms.
The Associated Press Is glad to
I make- this correction.
