TTTF! MORNTNG OREGONTA??, WEDNESDAY, MARCTI 29, 1022 13 CITY SOON TD GET COUNTY FARM SITE Official Transfer for Park Purposes Being Arranged. GOLF COURSE IS PLANNED Commissioner Iier Contemplates Public Ceremony When Title Passes to Municipality. Unofficial announcement of decision of the county board of commissioners to turn over the 202-acre site, for merly used as the county poor farm, to the city for use as a park was received yesterday by City Commis sionr Pier, in charge of the park bureau. Charles S. Rudeen, chairman of the board, has been in conference with City Commissioner Pier and has ar ranged for the turnover. Before ac tually presenting' the deed, however. Commissioner Rudeen has requested an opinion from District- Attorney Myers as to the manner in which the transfer should be made. . Believing- that the transaction is one of the most important that has been worked out for Portland's recrea tional system. Commissioner Pier, is planning on holding a public recep tion when the transfer is made. While the details of this celebration have not been worked out, Mr. Pier said he would invite the city and county officials to participate, as well as representatives of organizations that . are interested in the development of Portland's park system. "This particular tract," said Mr. Pier, "will be a most valuable addi tion to the park system of this city. We expect to develop it as a modern golf course, and in addition there will be space left for parking pur poses. Official Notice Pfot Received. "I have not as yet received official word of the decision of the county, but I have information that the only thing necessary is the word from the district attorney as to the method that must be employed in making the transfer. Commissioner Rudeen, who has taken a keen interest in this matter, informed me today that everything would be worked out for the transfer." Just how the city will provide money to develop the park site has not been determined, but Commis sioner Pier aid that he had suffi cient financial support behind him to handle the situation after the prop erty had been turned over. Site lias Been Under I,ease. He said that the site had been in the hands of the city for a number of months under a lease, but that the city did not feel it expedient to pro ceed with permanent improvements until the tract was actually the prop erty of the city of Portland. The site is directly south of Wash ington park, with a strip of about 400 feet intervening. It is possible that the city will take, steps to acquire the intervening strip of land later, and thus connect the two park sites. JUDGE HAWKINS TO RUN NEW CANDIDATE FILES CIRCUIT BENCH. FOR Incumbent in District Court Says He Will Seek Nomination for Department No. 6. Martin W. Hawkins, district judge, entered his name in the "Multnomah county circuit court race yesterday, announcing his candidacy for elec tion to the bench in department No. 6, at present occupied by Judge Walter H. Evans. Judge Hawkins was appointed to his present position in the district court on January 1, 1920, on the resignation of Judge Arthur C. Day ton, and was elected to the office at the general election in the fall of that year. He is probably one of the best known of the young at torneys of Portland. He is 34 years old and has practiced law since graduation from the University of Oregon law school in 1913, with the exception of years spent in the mili tary service during the late war. In his college days Martin Hawkins was prominent in athletics. Judge Hawkins was born February 20, 1888 and came to Oregon from Colorado in 1897. He was educated in the pub lic schools of Portland and graduate-, from the University of. Oregon in 1912 and the law school of the uni versity in 1913. On entering the military service. Judge Hawkins was commissioned a first lieutenant of coast artillery, serving with the 65th artillery in France for ten months. He received a commission as captain on the field of battle in the Argonne, and was retired as a major in the reserve corps. "If elected I promise to administer the law without fear or favor, and alike to all those who appear be fore me," reads hi., platform. MURDER DEFENSE SCORES ! VICTIM'S DYING STATEMENT IS ADMITTED AS EVIDENCE. Explanation to Doctor That Shot Was Accidental Also Is Al lowed in Case. OLYMPIA, Wash., March 28. (Spe cial.) The case of Henderson Riley, charged with the murder of Millard F. Nogal, Olympia taxi owner, went to the jury late tonight. From a case that looked highly favorable for conviction, the trial swung sharply in favor of the de fense this afternoon when Judge Wil son, over the opposition of the prose cution, ruled to admit the testimony of Dr. W. L. Bridgeford as to what Nogel told him at the hospital after the shooting, and to admit the read ing to the jury of Nogal's so-called dying statement. - "It was my fault," said Nogal's statement. "I had no business grab bing his gun. "About 1:30," the statement con tinued, "I went outside to get some women's coats that were out in front. A big fellow met me and got to argu ing with me and wanted to know what I had in the car and I told him it was none of his business. I didn't know him from Adam's off ox. I happened to see him reach his hand back to his hip. Well, 1 don't know, I just had a 1 1 1 1 1 I charged. I really think it was an accident," the physician quoted Nogal as saying. CODE WILL BE AMENDED CHANGES IN HOUSING RULES DEEMED NECESSARY. Modifications Will Affect Only Building Construction in. Down town Areas of City. Amendments to the housing code will be proposed to tho city -council shortly by City Commissioner Barbur for the purpose of making the law more, applicable to conditions that are found in the business district of the city. Commissioner Barbur yesterday held a conference with members of the appeal board under the code and it developed that in the case of every large structure that has been built or is in the course of construction in the business area of the city radical amendments were necessary to make the buildings conform to the pro visions of the housing code. De spite these changes, it was main tained, in every case the changes were meritorious and necessary. The code, according to Commission er Barbur, has for its primary pur pose protection, to established- resi dential districts, as well as providing proper lighting and ventilation for buildings erected as hotels, apartment houses and the like. The amendments will not make any change so far as the residential dis tricts are concerned, but will be con fined to buildings that are to rise in the downtown section of the city. - HAY SUPPLY IS' SHORT Growers Declared Iiikely to Raise More Than Ever in 1922. HAINES, Or., March 28. (Special.) That the growing of alfalfa in the Haines section of the Powder river valley will continue on a larger scale than for several years past is indi cated by present advancing prices for hay and the threatened lack of local production to meet requirements. Now that the long, cold winter has caused cattle and sheep men to use twice the usual amount of hay, the big supply of hay which was on hand last September has been consumed. The present price in the stack has reached $12 a ton, and many small feeders are finding it almost impos sible to obtain sufficient supplies. School Play Friday Night. GRESHAM, Or., March 28.

Considerable enthusiasm was shown at a mass meeting Friday evening, arranged by the Parent-Teacher as sociation for the purpose of discuss ing the county unit system for schools, and more especially whether it seemed advisable for Wheeler county to adopt it as the neighboring county of Crook has done.

Kidney Trouble 7s Usually Due to Constipation When you are constipat ed, .there is not enough lubricant produced by your system to keep the food waste soft. Doctors prescribe Nujol because its action is so close to this natural lubricant. Nujol is a lubricant not a medicine or laxative so cannot gripe. Try it today. thought he was trying to hold me up, so I reached back and felt a gun, you see, an automatic gun. And I pulled it back and he grabbed it. That was the last I know. As soon as he grabbed it I pulled the trigger. I don't know how in hell he pulled it from his hip. I don't see how it hit me without hitting him." --"The tall fellow got nasty with me and wanted to know if I had any thing on me and I said nothing and he said all right, and reached around," the statement said. The man was "pretty well lit" 'and was "looking for liquor." Riley took the witness stand in his own defense this morning. He testi fied that he went to the dance at Fairvlew the night Nogal was shot, drank some moonshine upon arrival there and after that was too drunk to remember anything until he awoke in jail Monday morning. Dr. Bridgeford testified that Nogal told him he tried to slip the gun out of the man's pocket and it was dis iV f H Jlif (Oil l 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 e 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n w 1 1 n 1 1 n n 1 1 1 1 1 ?)
