APPLE MEN GET AID
Oregon Growers Urged to Join
Federal Marketing Plan.
CHAMBER MEETING HELD
Systematic Campaign to Educate
Farmers to Possible Benefits
Will Be Carried On if Funds
Are Obtained for Work.
tJrerton applegrrowers will be en
couraged to participate in the co-operative
marketing plan recently out
lined by Federal investigators, if a
meeting held at the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday afternoon ultimately
succeeds in its object.
All that stands in the way of a sys
tematic campaign among the farmers
of the state in the hope of influencing
them to join in the co-operative move
ment is lack uf funds. It is estimated
that approximately 14500 will bo re
quired for this purpose. A part of the
um can be procured from the Agri
cultural College, it is believed.
The Chamber of Commerce will be
asked to contribute some, but members
of the Chamber present yesterday ex
pressed doubt whether money could
be voted from its treasury for this
purpose. The proposal will be presented
to the Chamber directors.
Representative Attend Meeting.
Present at yesterday's meeting were
representatives of various interests
that have been active in promoting
the horticultural development of the
state. IT. W. Kerr, one of the Govern
ment investigators, explained the plan
that the Federal bureau has mapped
out. In general, this plan aims to pro
vide a stabilized market, but does not
purpose to fix prices.
Growers can affiliate with the co
operative organization either as indi
viduals or as members of district as
sociations. Kdward Cookingham. Henry Tj. Cor
hett, A. P. Bateham and others who
have given the project careful study
Indorsed it enthusiastically.
Adoption of Plan Vrged.
Profesfior Hector MaePherson. of the
State Agricultural College, further ex
plained the plan and urged its adop
tion. It was pointed out. however, that
the growers in Oregon, particularly
in the Willamette "Valley, have been
slow to take advantage of the scheme;
that in fact they are not informed on
it at all. Growers in Washington and
Idaho, it was explained, have joined
the enterprise almost without excep
tion. If the Oregon growers are to share
in the benefits of the Government's
services, said several of the speakers,
they must be informed on the plan. They
must be educated, and it is for the pur
pose of conducting this campaign of
education that funds are to be sought.

Try This! Your Hair Appears
Glossy, Abundant, Wavy
and Beautiful.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderlne
tonight now any time will surely
save your hair.
Get a. 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toi
let counter, and after the first appli
cation your hair will take on that life,
luster and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an incomparable gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after just a few weeks'
use, when you will actually see a lot
of fine, downy hair new hair grow
ing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetatioin. It goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating and life-producing prop

HENRI DE VRIES' HOBBY
IS MAKING FURNITURE
Mrs. De Vries Upsets Favorite Theory That AH English Women Are Fond
of Gardening She Is Stage Beauty, Known as Dorothy Drake.
BV LEON CASS BAER.
A LITTLE chat behind the scenes
at the Orpheum with Henri de
Vries and Mrs. Henri de Vries
forever knocked' a couple of cherished
traditions into a cocked hat.
All English women do not love to
garden, and spend their leisure hours
picking English violets or hawthorne
buds, in season of course. And all
Holland Dutchmen are not close-to-nature-livers
and stolid and placid.
Quite the contrary is true. The De
Vries prove it
For instance, Mrs. de Vries, who is
as lovely an English girl as I've met
in many a day. absolutely loathes gar
dening. And Henri de Vries. Orpheum head
liner in an act-beautiful, dreamer, poet,
dramatist and actor from Holland,
doesn't know one of his own country's
tulip bulb from an onion. He has the
distinction of being the only Dutch
actor to have gone from his country to
play in other lands. Singers, yes, and
artists and musicians, have been pro
vided by the land that has provided
also the decorative scheme of dykes
and windmills for newlyweds kitchens,
sofa pillows, porridge bowls and dairy
lunch menus.
Mr. de Vries has not lived in the land
of the wooden shoe for 12 years, and
has transferred his allegiance from the
domestic little green Wilhelmina to the
rules of his wife's country.
They have a big home just outside
London, this amiable actor pair. I
must tell you that Mrs. de Vries is
known professionally as Dorothy Drake,
and is a recognized stage beauty and
actress of splendid achievements in
her "ain countrie." With her big hus
band she has appeared in film produc
tions and in some of his plays. On
this, their first visit to the Pacific
Coast, they are planning to make ar
rangements to return to Los Angeles
in the Summer to do some pictures it
FARM LOAN UNION SUED
ACTIOX TAKEN AGAINST WESTERN'
- CO-OPERATIVE ORGANIZATION.
System of Lending; Money Is De
clared to Be Too Much la
Nature of Lottery.
There may be a crying need among
farmers of the state for the Western
Co-Operative Rural Credit Union, but
District Attorney Evans does not think
so, and, at the request of State Su
perintendent of Banks Sargent, yester
day filed suit in the Circuit Court to
dissolve the concern. Obtaining a loan
from this organization is too much of
the nature of buying a ticket for a
lottery, contends Deputy District At
torney Arthur Murphy, who drew up
the complaint. . ,
This credit union was based on the
rural credit law of 1915, passed to en
able farmers to organize for their own
benefit in any section of the state and
is not in keeping with the spirit of
the law, it is held. The objections made
to the concern by the District At
torney are to the methods of conduct
ing it. Too many large commissions
are paid for inducing people to borrow
money from it, it is charged, and the
borrower takes too many chances for
his financial good.
The plan of the union is to have
monthly payments into the treasury by
would-be borrowers, who get their
money as the fund increases to ac
commodate them. Those first in the
list are lucky and get easy terms, but
those far along on the list of the bor
rowers have long and unprofitable
waits for their money. The certificate
to do business was suspended by the
Bank Superintendent last September.
The Western Co-Operative Rural
Credits Union was organized in June,
1915, by George A. Hall, L. F. Knowl
ton, A. C. Marsters, Claude Hale, L. C.
Cornwall, G. B. Williams and Oliver
M. Hickey. The supervisory committee
was composed of C. M. Hurlburt, L. F.
Knowlton and W. J. Blumenschein.
Later the active workers in the concern
were Edwin Anders and Oliver M.
Hickey.
When the examination of books was
made by Mr. Sargent in September, it
was found that $400 had been paid in
since the organization of the "union"
in June, that not a single loan had
been made and that all but $35 of tht
J400 had been dissipated in expenses
and commissions.
None of the original organizers had
even paid for their single shares of
stock, listed at $25 each.
SEWER PROBE IS HEATED
(Continued From First Page.)
when Mr. Sinnott bobbed up with a
question.
"Who do you represent?" asked the
Mayor.
"The taxpayers," replied Mr. Sinnott.
"What are their names?" insisted
the Mayor.
"I think that is my business." re
torted Mr. Sinnott. "I am here to take
part in this investigation and I am
going to do it."
"Seeing that you represent nobody."
snapped the Mayor, "you had better sit
down. Proceed with the witness."
Mr. Baker Goes to Rescue.
I'Well, here," interposed Mr. Baker.
"If Mr. Sinnott has anything I think
we ought to have it. I. for one, don't
want any whitewashing proceedings."
Mayor Albee declared that his plan
was merely to facilitate the proceed
ings and not to shut out anything that
might be of value in the investigation
He deserted his stand and Mr. Sinnotl
was permitted to join in the probe.
Later, H. B. Dickinson, an attorney
from Montavilla, had the same priv
ilege. During the hearing, J. P. Lynch, an
inspector, said he had called to the
attention of Chief Inspector Charles
Smith the presence of cracks in the
sewer after it had been filled. The
pipes were not taken out. he said.
Condemnation Is .Withdrawn.
Richard Walsh, another sewer in
spector, declared that there were
cracks in about one-half of the pipe
laid along Barr Road. He said he, as
inspector of pipe, condemned several
sections of the pipe and that Chief In-i
trpector Smith later permitted the pipe
to be used.
He also testified that he received or
ders from Mr. Smith to get the sewer
"in ship-shape condition because a
bunch of Montavilla kickers are going
to inspect it."
Also he said he was informed by. In
spector Page to keep quiet about the
cracks in the pipe.
E. P. Tranton, who was a foreman for
the contractor, said he saw cracks in
pipe laid on Barr Road. He said he
received instructions from two of the
inspectors over him to keep Montavilla
people away from the sewer, to keep
his mouth shut and to paint over the
cracks.
Threat to Lose Job Charged.
He said one of the contractors told
him that any workman, foreman of
city inspector who talked about the
cracks would be fired.
It was brought out that Mr. Tron
ton had been discharged by the con
tractor on a charge of selling jobs.
Tronton denied that he had taken any

plays Mr. de Vries owns. And what
do you think this protean actor,
this excellent delineator of character
studies, does with his spare time? Well,
he's an arts and crafts man. He de
signs furniture and makes it, not only
ornamental but useful objects. "He
made us a wonderful ice chest. He
does all our repair work. Also he is a
machinist."
"Ach, I adore making automobiles,"
sighed her husband. "And once, because
I work so late in the shop, the English
police observe me."
"Well." said Mrs. de Vries, "if the
theatrical business ever gets done for,
it is encouraging to know that my
versatile husband can turn his hand
toward making cook tables and
cradles."
money and said he had fired two men
who had offered him money. He said
the contractor was mad because he
(Tronton) would not take money for
jobs and turn it over to one of the
contractors.
Martin L. Dowling. Assistant City
Engineer, said he happened, while at
tending to other duties, to notice the
big sewer. He said he considered it
was being laid improperly and he had a
talk with the contractor, Mr. Lind. and
asked him about it and about reports'
that the pipe was cracked.
He said Mr. Lind told him to keep
still about the cracks, for he had $30,000
mixed up' in. the pipe and if it were
condemned it would ruin him. Mr.
Dowling testified that he had made no
investigations of the sewer and was
unable to say anything about its con
dition. He said that various people on the
job told him of cracks in the pipe and
that Mr. Liud tried to find out who it
was, saying that they would be fired
off the job. '
Cracks Not Considered Dangerous.
Mr. Dowling said he has never seen
any cement yet that did not crack
when laid in hot weather. He said he
did not consider the cracks to be at all
dangerous to the sewer.
J. P. Needham, another sewer inspec
tor, said he saw one pipe that was
cracked from end to end. "I reported
it to my superior," he said. "That was
as far as my authority went, and I felt
I had done my duty. Inspector Pie
buck, who was over me, told me to,
keep quiet because the contractor on
the job was objecting to our talking
about the cracks in the pipe."
The testimony yesterday was all from
men who appeared at the Caldwell
hearing last week. It is expected that
as soon as the witnesses on the other
side of the fence are called, which may
be tomorrow, the story will sound en
tirely different.
Sewer InMpectors on Stand.
J. P. Lynch and Richard Walsh, both
sewer inspectors, were on the stand all
during the morning session. Mr. Lynch
testified that while he was inspecting
on the Montavilla pipe he had noticed
some cracked pipe which had been laid
and covered. He said he called atten
tion of Chief Inspector Smith to it.
He said he thought the cracks were
due to the weight of earth piled onto
the sewer.
Richard Walsh declared that he. as
inspector in charge of the manufacture
of the big pipes, had condemned a num
ber of pipes .which had cracks and that
later he had received instructions from
Chief Sewer Inspector Smith to paint
over the condemnation marks and per
mit the pipe to be used.
"To the best of my knowledge they
were used," said Mr. Walsh. There
must have been 40 or 50 of them that
had cracks all the way through and
were used on Eighty-second street."
No Extra Pipe Manufactured.
When asked how he knew that the
pipe he condemned was not destroyed
he declared that no extra pipe had been
made for the sewer so that it must
have been used. "Also," said Mr.
Walsh, "I saw. pipe being laid that I
had condemned. Some pipe was painted
over at least three times and fine
plaster was used in some places. I
told Inspector Smith that the cracked
pipe should not be used.
"He ordered the condemnation marks
and the cracks to be painted over and
the pipe used. Inspector Page told mc
to keep quiet or the people of Monta
villa would organize a vigilance com
mittee and we'd all be sent to the peni
tentiary." Over-riding Not Attempted.
"But," said Commissioner Bigelow,
"if you saw condemned pipe being used
why did you not complain. Do you
think you could be sent to the peni
tentiary for doing your duty?"
"That would all depend on the trial
I'd get," said Walsh. "I was taking
orders from my superior. Chief In
spector Smith, and T knew that if I
I want you to try

Attorney Tomlinson attempted to
show that the condemnation of pipe
by Walsh was not final, but that its
condition was passed upon finally by
Chief Inspector Smith.
