Wash., Oct. 90 (A) "The battle ground yrill liavo io be moved from among ourselves, where It ever has been, out Into the open reaches of the four corners of the earth where lies tile consumer," said C. H. Krelen baum,)4f Shelton, keynote speaker of the Sard, Pacific logging congress opening session Wednesday. About five hundred loggers from all the Pa cific coast states were present. Tracing 'the history of the .bi&ln,? industry In the United States, Mr. I Kreienbaum pointed out that an ex-1 pandlng population for many years caused markets to enlarge naturally, Since the turn of the new century great disasters that have destroyed ! cities, and the World war, aided tem porarily in creating markets. With1! the' inroad of other building mater-1 ials and a lower consumption per cap ita of lumber, the time has come, he warned, when the lumber Industry j mu'it be considered as a whole and no part of it can prosper unless tho whole prospers. Four Problems "The first problem of the. Jogger, I tlmberman and sales manager," hot jo id, "is proper trade promotion for j our products in the consuming mar-( kets; second, development of new prcducts by research; third, advertts-j ing, and fourth, new selling meth ods." j v A. A. Gay, of Port Gamble, brought applause when he declared that "we 1 had a long fight to get the (3 tariff; on lumber, and Just remember "that when you go into the polls on No-1 vember 8 If .you vote for RooaeveK, you will be throwing that work away." j He advocated Intensive work in the lumber producing states to the end of t establishing wood as the material for such public .projects as bridges, for an ' example to the rest of the country, j P. J. Rutledgc, of Eureka, Cal., de-j clared "we are not working to the! best Interests of the Industry when we are devoting all of our brain pow-1 er to cheapening our product" through. Intensive production and developing) new machinery. The need for brain power at present Is In expanding mar kets and finding new uses for lumber, ' he said. . ! Colonel W. B. Greeley, secretary- J manager of the West Coast Lumber, j men's association, predicted that, the1 construction .of Bmall homes will fui-J tilsh. the biggest future market lij ' sight for building material, 1 "Every other Industry that furnish I cs building material has Its eyes foc-'j used oh this market," he said. I "Twenty five years ago .the lumber- i man could get this business without going after It. Now it will be ours only If we go out and take it." (Continued from Page One) "the real question is one of leader ship rather than of Issues, x x x It Is a solemn decision. . "In fact, more hinges upon It than fs apparent on the surface, for not only will It determine wither new men shall be substituted for those now directing the nation's policies, but It means also. If the country should vote for a change In admin istration, that there wlU .be i wait ing interval of four month's during which the United States , and, to a certain extent, the world also will mark time until the new administra tion takes charge next March and Is ready to make decisions .then as to Its policies, xxx : "It is doubly unfortunate, there forv, that tills election at such a crit ical moment and fraught with such significance for America'h and the world should be decided 'not on the merits of some Important policy but rather on the vague and general Is sue of discontent with existing con ditions which are beyond the power of any man or government to con trol." Explains Procedure ' Mr. Mellon explained how the United States goes about "the always difficult business of choosing a gov ernment." , v. On the major issues, he said. Re publicans and Democrats do not dif fer greatly. On prohibition, agricul ture, taxation, even on tariffs, he said, "they are nearer together today than ever before." "The reol question is not what should be done but how It Is to be done," he continued. "The presi dent and his advisers have built for tho nation temporary shelters against the economic hurricane, and a defense against fear and panic." He described the reconstruction fl nanco corporation, measures for ex pansion of tho powers of the federal reserve system, new taxes to balance the budget and other emergency steps. "As a result of these measures," he said, "we have been able to meet In full every demand that could be made upon us. We have proved that our financial strength is morer than ade quate to withstand any shock from the outslds world, and that no power outside the country can undermine the dollar." ' He outlined the American efforts to cooperate with other nations to restore world finances, mentioning America's wholehearted support of the forthcoming world economic confer ence. "The American tariff policy." he as serted, "has not had the adverse ef fect on foreign trade with which It has sometimes been credited." - THIS CURIOUS WORLD !

Farley, Democratic na tional chairman, charging Firestone and pother rubber company officials with carrying on a campaign of "ln timidatlon" among their empioyes in the interests of the Republican party. Firestone called the statement "propaganda Issued by political lead ens to Intimidate business men and keep them from expressing their views on political matters." "There is absolutely no truth in the statement that the company is car rying on a campaign of intimidation among its employes for President Hoover," Firestone said. The Democratic statement had been previously denied by Goodrich and Goodyear spokesmen. 1 Only Two Circuit Judges Refuse Cut SALEM, Oct. 20 W All but two of the state's 28 circuit judges have voluntarily reduced their salaries by 10 per cent, a checkup at the secre tary of state's office revealed.

HENRY FORI SPEAKS DETROIT, Oct. 20 UP) Disavowing any interest in party politics, Henry Ford today was enlisted as a cam paigner on behalf of President Hoo ver. . - In a radio address last night his first of that nature the automobile manufacturer said that ' support the best man for the Job. If Herbert Hoover wore a DemocraVjwrth his reoord during ihe last jour ,years,I should have to support him.' Much of his address was devoted to tho need of "a money system man aged as our weather bureau is, for the protection of the people's busi ness," and he said he would "like to see it done1 by a man of practical experience like Mr. Hoover." Congress, ho said, "farmed out the national money system to prlvato hands" and "should take back full control of money and give the United States a public service money system oa opposed to a private profit money system." Ho said President Hoover "is caf rying a greater burden than Abraham Lincoln carried and he is carrying it In a way that places him beside Lincoln in sacrificial service." The president, he said, "kept his head when others lost theirs. No act of his has been dictated by panic or political expediency and the result Is that we arc now beginning to feel the lifting power of his well-thought-out program." .Continued from Page One) posits In the First National bank at Union yesterday, continuing their fi nancial transactions through the de- I poeltory in the neighboring town.

It was reported, however, that numerous individual depositors, a bit uneasy because of the bank holiday in Pendleton, took out their money, this amount possibly reaching $70,000, and adding to the large amount of withdrawals that have ocourred since Mar. 7, when the First National opened for business. .In the meantime, there were no other -developments, with the excep tion that the representative of the comptroller of the .currency was ex pected here today.

The two old bonks tho La Grande Na-,i tlonal and the United States National m had for some time previous been seeking a basis for amalgamation. The i national bank examiners who had ' locked into the condition of both old ' banks finally reported that their as- j sets were so impaired that they would not favor an amalgamation, and rec-j ommended the organization of a new bank. This bank would take over j such proportion of the assets of both old banks as would be passed by them as satisfactory. It would also assume all of the deposit Indebted- ness of tho La Grande National bank j and a proportion of that of the United i States National, the balance of de- j posits of the latter bank being waived.!.. by its depositors,..

That was the birthday, the first dty of the Union Oil Company 42 years go totfay, These men believed in the West they dedicated their efforts and their meagre savings to pioneering with and for the West. In their record lies western industrial history. Not only has this com ftfny paid dividends forty of its forty-two yetrs, boi its pioneering record in commercial progress is evidence of its keeping faith. Here are a few of the highlights of that record; '' Pioneered the firif oil burning lxomolitt. Laid the first pipe Vint to. tidewater, and launched the first octan geing tanUr on the Pacific Oast. Pioneered drilling fur oil tVW tfo 2, (XX) foot hul.
