Portland Grocers..
Stampeded by Buyers
PORTLAND, Aug.. 16 (UP)
Portland grocers were stampeded
by housewives today who were
caught short over the two-day
holiday and at the same time had
their first chance in years to buy
unrationed process foods.
Bread, milk and fresh vege
tables also brought a big demand.
At one chain store, a six can lim-.
it was placed on canned goods to
give everyone a chance at point
free goods.
One market manager said that
tons of canned goods are tied up
because the national OPA office
has not released ceilings on the
1946 pack and stores cannot put
it out for sale although : their
iclves may be sold clean. Holding
up the release of the 1945 price
list may delay the time when
consumers can buy canned fruits
and vegetables by the case, the
manager said.

Crop Prospects In :
State Drop in July
PORTLAND, Aug. 16 (UP)
Oregon clop prospects declined
during July although total pro
duction of field and tree fruit
crops are still expected to be
above average, the department of
agriculture said today. ...-.
High temperatures and abnor
mally light rainfall during July
caused the decline, particularly
on the late seeded spring crops,
the reports said. Wheat and feed
grain prospects are expected to
be about average and about .15
percent under 1944 production.
Hay production is still indicat
ed to be above the average and
that of 1944, according to the -report.
Sugar beet and potato out
look is good although potatoes
stands in the Klamath basin are
below last year and there was
much late planting.
The report said the fruit crop
is developing favorably although
filbert and apple crops may not
be as large as usual.

Many Attend Peace
Services Held at
Churches Here
Approximately 325-residents of
La Grande last night attended
services in the Fir Street Metho
dist and Presbyterian churohes
to give thanks for the coming of
peace.
Rev. Floyde E. ' White, pastor
of - the Fir Street Methodist
church, estimated the attendance
as 75. Rev. O. A. Crofford of the
Nazarene church brought the
message, concerning the part ev
eryone has to play in the postwar
world. Rev. and Mrs. T. M.
Mitchell of the Church of Gqd
sang a duet.
Rev. Mark A. Talney, pastor of
Presbyterian church, said attend
ance .totaled approximately 250.
Rev. Logan Pruitt, First Meth
odist, lead the congregation in the
call to worship, the responsive
lesson, and the prayer of thanks
giving and consecration. Mrs.
Retta Ehlers sang the solo "Pray
er for Peace." , -
Rev. Mark Talney delivered
the address in which he stated
"We rejoice at the cessation of
war but our joy is tinged with
sadness as we remember those
who will not Teturn, and as we
think of the sorrow and tragedy
that has stalked the earth leaving
scars in the souls of men."
He reminded the congregation
although the war is won, ithe
peace is not.. That peace is not
the mere cessation of hostility but
the creation of conditions which
make for peace, and the fight to
achieve peace i as great a cause
as . the restraint of tyrannical
ideologies.
He mentioned the inability . of
science, educqtionl materialistic
progress, or political systems
alone to achieve the high ends
since they do not create the moral
character essential in a moral so-r
ciety. ." .

OF YESTERDAY, TODAY, AMD TOMORROW
As WE REMIND ourselves again of some
of the historic background of our great
Pacific Northwest we sense a distinct
similarity between those early days
when. Washington was but a Territory
and the stirring, troubled times in which
we now live.
Before this great area was safe and
open for settlement and development
many men laid down their lives in de
fense of their homes and families from
Indian uprisings. . With some of the
tribes, particularly the Nez Perces, con
tinued friendship was enjoyed but not
until the policy of Washington's Terri
torial Governor Isaac Stevens prevailed
was there any real success in making
this section of America a country of
peace, happiness and prosperity.
As against a policy of appeasement
practiced by most leaders of the Depart
ment of the Pacific, Governor Stevens
maintained the simple policy of punish
, ing scvorely every uprising and pre
venting the various tribes from uniting
against the settlers.
In May, 1858. Colonel Steptoe set out
from his new Fort Walla Walla, across
the Snake River, into the Palouse coun
try and was attacked unexpectedly by a
large band of Indians. So disastrous was
this attack that he was obliged to beat
a retreat by night back to Walla Walla
in order to save the remnant of bis force.
Only then did Colonel Wright and the
Department of the Pacific quicken into
relentless activity.
In August and September two great
battles near the present city of Spokane
The Battle of the Four Lakes and the
Battle of the Spokane Plains were suc
cessfully concluded and only then were
the humbled Indians ready for councils.
In October, 1858, the campaign was
over the period of Indian fighting had
come to an end. A lasting peace, based
on fairness, firmness and justice backed
up by the power to enforce it opened
wide our great Pacific Northwest to be
come the land of today and tomorrow.
