Soldiers Pass Up Buttons. Between
30,000 and 40.000 returned soldiers scat
tered throughout the state of Oregon
have not yet applied for their victory
buttons, and army officials who are in
charge of the distribution of these but
tons are eager to place them in the
hands of men entitled to them. The
only means provided in regulations
whereby these men may secure their
service buttons is to apply either in
person or in writing to tike army re
cruiting station in Portland. The dis
charge cartificate of the soldier must
accompany every application for a vic
tory button, as the army regulations
expressly forbid the issuance of but
tons on any other conditions. Recruit

Unless there is united and vigorous pro
tests against classification of Kinney
wheat as red Walla, which is lowest of
all wheat classes and takes the lowest
price under federal standards, Wil
lamette valley growers will suffer &
loss, says G. ft. Hyslop, chief of farm
crops at the college.
"No farmer 3hould accept a discount
of 5 cents a bushel below the price
fixed by the grain corporation for the
various grades of red Walla," he says.
"A .statement has gone out through the
valley that all red wheat in the valley
is to be discounted 5 cents. This state
ment is denied by H. M. Houser. who
declares it without authority of the
grain corporation."
The Huston, grass, red life, Minne
sota 163 and 169, and the Preston wheat
of the valley, are all hard red spring
wheat. Professor Hyslop asserts, and
are entitled to the price for that class.
Other valley red wheats such as big
English, Jones fife and red chaffed
Odessa, are soft red winter and bring
higher prices than i.inney.
ND DRILL DESIRED
BEXD FOLK ASK DEEP TESTS AT
RESERVOIR SITE.
Government Experts to Await Re
ply to. Request for Authority
lor Thorough Probe.
BEND, Or., Aug. 10. (Special.) In
an endeavor to secure authority for
using diamond drills in exploring the
formations underlying the surface soil
at the Benham Falls reservoir site,
nine miles above Bend, the Fend Com
mercial club has telegraphed Director
Davis of the United States reclamation
service, Representative N. J. Sinnott
and State Engineer Percy A. Cupper.
After spending thre weeks in inves
tigating the reservoir site, the party
of engineers and geologists represent
ing the reclairation service have
reached the point where little more
may be definiely determined without
making extensive borings. This type
of investigation was started shortly
after the party, headed by Professor
W. O. Crosby, reached Bend, but it was
found that hand boring failed to give
satisfactory results. A diamond drill,
it was decided, was neoessary in ob
taining final data relative to the water
holding qualities of the ground.
Authorization was asked from the
reclamation service, and permission de
nied, so that as the matter now stands
the only course left would be for Pro
fessor Crosby to send in an incomplete
report, not containing sufficient infor
mation to warrant the construction of
an immense irrigation system.
Pending the receipt of an answer to
the Commercial club's telegrams. Pro
fessor Crosby will remain in Bend.
Two others of the party, Andrew J.
Wiley and Homer Hamlin, have already
left Bend, but will return if a satis
factory reply is received from the
reclamation service.

THOROUGH PROBE PROMISE
ANNUAL PICNIC ANNOUNCED
Yelm Prairie to Celebrate Success of
Irrigation Project.
CHEHALIS, "Wash., Augr. 10. (Spe
cial.) To celebrate the success of the
Yelm prairie irrigation project, citi
zens of that town have arranged for
their fourth annual ditch picnic, to be
held at Goldsmith's park, Yelm, next
Thursday, August 14. The programme
includes a picnic dinner, public speak
ing by prominent men of state and lo
cal reputation and displays of farm
products.
The Yelm prairie irrigation project is
one of the revelations of Western
Washington in the matter of success
ful farming on a gravel prairie and the
great development that has been car
ried out in that section within the past
few years has proved a surprise even
to the men who promoted it.
HOMESTEAD RUMOR DENIED
Yakima Land Xot Listed for Settle

YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.)
Krroneous report of the opening of
a big tract of Yakima land to settle
ment evid-ently had been widely circu-
ated throughout the middle west and
as far east as the Atlantic coast, ac
cording to C. R. Rusk, receiver of the
Yakima land office.
Mr. Rusk said yesterday that the
offu-e had received many inquiries
from persons who desired a Yakima
farm. It is supposed here that the
reports were distorted versions of
statements published some time ago re
garding tlve proposed Yakima high-line
development.
Public Service Commission Hearing
on August 2 7 Is Expected to
Bring Out Important Facts.
Pending hearing by the Oregon pub
lic service commission regarding in
creased telephone rates now in effect
here, the city legal department will
continue preparation of its case against
the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
company with a view to showing that
the charges are unjust. Mayor Baker
said yesterday that in view of the many
legal complications in the situation the
course to be followed rests with the
city's legal department, and Assistant
City Attorney Tomlinson has been in
structed to proceed with the prepara
tion of Portland's case.
The public service commission hear
ing has been called for August 27 at
the courthouse and it is expected that
thorough investigation of the new
schedule will be made to test the al
leged necessity for the increase and to
safeguard the rights of all parties concerned.
Action PromUed by Mayor.
The city will do everything possible
to restore the old telephone rates," said
Mayor Baker yesterday.
When word was received Saturday
from the postmaster-general that he
had authorized the increase in tele
phone charges it put at rest the contro
versy relative to the telephone com
pany's authority for its action, but did
not allay the dissatisfaction occasioned
by the increase.
In reply to a statement issued last
week by W. J. Phillips of the telephone
company, Mr. Tomlinson said:
"The company, through Mr. Phillips,
says that pre-war rates mean pre-war
wages. We contend that is not now
the question. When the matter comes
up for hearing on rates the issue will
be what is a reasonable and proper
rate and the question of wages will
be given due consideration. There is
no doubt that the public service com
mission will safeguard the interests of
the wage earners in fixing rates. At
present, however, the issue between the
company and the people is not what
the rate ought to be, but what it law
fully is.
Labor Quarrel Imponslble.
"Mr. Phillips cannot draw us into
any quarrel with labor. That is an old
story. Public utility corporations al
ways plead the interests of labor and
other altruistic motives when seeking
to feather their own nests by higher
rates. The company's employes were
taken care of reluctantly during the
strenuous and difficult period of the
war when the postmaster-general had
power at any minute without any trial
or hearing to fix any rates he might
deem proper, but did not do it.
"Now that the war is over and the
emergency past, we repeat what we
have said before, that for the company
on the last days of government control
to increase its rates under the pretense
of government sanction seems to be a
high-handed and czar-I ike act which
the people should not tolerate. It is an
attempt to use the government's power
in furtherance of private interests after
that power has ceased and after the
government's need in the emergency
has ended.
"If the company must have higher
rates in order to give the service, main
tain its plant, meet interest on its
bonds and pay the reasonable demands
of labor, let that fact be established
the method provided by law and
not by the company's officials wearing
the mask of a covernment agency."
of the Oregon hotel, and injured se
verely. Police considered the accident
unavoidable.
Sergeants Oelsner and Burke and a
squad of police were returning in
Peterson's car from a burglar call at
the home of W. C. McBride, 853 East
Harrison street. As Mr. Peterson's car
drew up at headquarters. Patrolman
Rockwell rode his motorcycle out of
the garage on the way to answer a
second burglar alarm.
The automobile struck the motor
cycle broadside, throwing the police
man to the pavement. It is believed
that his collarbone was broken.
The burglars had entered Mr. Mc
Bride's house during absence of the
family and had carried off several
bundles in an automobile. T. W. John
son, a neighbor, turned in a police call,
but the burglars made their escape be
fore police arrived.
RAINIER PARK IMPROVED

"Are Improved.
SEATTLE. Wash. Complete unifica
tion of facilities for the convenience of
the public has finally been effected at
Rainier National park, in accordance
with the expressed wish of the national
park service on the matter as a gen
eral policy for national parks.
The Rainier National Park company,
which holds the government concession

tels, this month acquired control of
Longmlre Springs, a tract of 19 acres

James Longmire. a pioneer of Wash
ington, as his homestead in 1S83. The
tract is rich in wonderful sulphur, iron.
soda and other kinds of mineral springs
and the old-fashioned hotel erected on
it by the pioneer, marked the beginning
of tourist travel Into the nark. Mr.
Longmire, dead for some years, was one
of the first venturesome group to travel
across Naches pass in 1853. At the time
or the death of his wife a few years
ago. she had 168 descendants.

famous site extends to 1936.

FIRE LAID TO FARMER
Charges of Leaving Brush Blaze Are
Filed by Warden.
DALLAS, Or., Aug. 10. (Special.)
J. H. Janes, a Polk county farmer, was
arrested and brought to Dallas yester
day on a complaint filed by W. V,
Fuller, supervising fire warden, who
charged that Janes had set fire to a
quantity of brush without obtaining a
permit.
Several damaging fires were set in
the county last year by burning brush
and Mr. Fuller is determined to put
an end to the practice, as damage every
year amounts to thousands of dollars
from such practice. Several persons
were fined last year for leaving fires
in the timber, but so far this year no
fires have been reported from such
causes.

Photos, Chromos and Busts Xot Tol
erated in Public Buildings.
BERLIN. (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) The question of
whether photos, chromos or busts of
the dethroned emperor are to be tol
erated in official buildings and public
schools, has come up .again for dis
cussion before the Prussian Diet which
was informed by Konrad Haenisch, the
minister of education, that, despite his
efforts to leave the delicate task to the
tact and judgment of the respective
officials, numerous instances have been
reported to his ministry to the effect
that t he Hohenzol lern emblems, once
removed, have been ostentatiolsly re
stored. This prompted him to issue a new
edict which orders the definite re
moval of such pictures and other re
minders with the exception of art
products.
Haenisch was applauded by the Loft
when he declared that the reminders of
old kaiser days" could be no more
tolerated than were the republican em
blems under the old remnie.
He suggested that tfce iconoclastic
operations should proceed with as little
demonstration as possi ble and recom
mended teachers to use their summer
vacation for the job of packing up the
