His plea of poverty did not move the court as J the judge had given him respite of more than three weeks, from the time he was first haled to answer, ; in which to raise the money.

J Statement Is Made. J In a "statement" filed with the - county clerk yesterday, King claims I that he is not guilty of contempt of " court because he has appealed to Z the supremo court from the divorce decree and 'because his wife has ad- mltted that ihe did not treat her cruelly and that she wanted nothing J from him but her freedom and maiden name. He avers that he J "has not had, haa not now, and may not have a dollar of his own or un 3 borrowed money with which to pay J fchia alimony."

The contract was jindertaken when labor prices were low, but they soon went so high that the contractors' estimates were V Sreatly exceeded and the firm was forced to suspend. Their first state ment from the state highway 'com- mission' showed "them to be $62,000 over. by the state and finished. The lommission settled in a manner which prevented any, loss, by the contractors, who took over a large ainount-of paving machinery.

Machine Recirculates Air, Thus Saving Fuel Costs and Add N Ing to Output. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis, July 8. (Special.) Oregon farmers are installing mu'.tivane fans to recirculate air in their prune driers under the direc tion of, the .horticultural products section of the Oregon Agricultural college experiment station. "The fans will mean a lot to prune driers in Oregon," says Pro fessor Ernest H. Wiegand, undur whose direction work has been done on the problem of using multivano fans to trecirculate air. "The rate of circulation will be quadrupled. The a'r may be used over and over again, thus bringing about a saving in fuel." The Eugene Fruit Growers' as sociation has adopted this syste.n and is installing two large fans in a new type of drier recommended by the experiment station. This drier will be the first of its kind to be in stalled in Oregon and will have a capacity of 10 to 12 tons in 24 hburs. Air will be passed over the fruit at the rate of 700 lineal feet a minute Others installing fans include C. R. Widmer and Rudolph Ingerly' of Albany. Jess N. Nichols of Irvinsr, Dr. Scarborough of Creswell, L. M. Miller of Eugene, H. E. Hecker of Dillard and C. T. Krogel of Roso burg.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE." Corvallis. July 8. (Special.) That the Oregon Cow Testing as sociation leads all cow testing asso ciations west- of the Rockies in the butterfat production for May is the announcement just made by the col lege extension service. The aver age yield of butterfat a cow for the month was 41.-6 pounds or 1.34 pounds aailydetermined from a test of 3400 cows.

All exhibits from the national convention were displayed at the Seattle meeting, including pictures from all over the United States, Great Britain, Ireland and central Europe. ' Three hundred photographers were present for the convention and the principal business was the revision of the constitution and by laws and adoption of the code of ethics of the national association. The next convention will be held in Victoria in September. 1923. The northwest association con sidered itself fortunate to have as one of its guests G. W. Harris of Washington, D. C, of the famous Harris & Ewing studios, who made two addresses. Another guest was J. C. Abel, secretary, of the National Photographers' association and pub lisher 'Of Abel's Photographic Week ly, who spoke on" the subject "Or ganization and Convention .Bene fits."

Demand of Oregon Producers to Be Placed on Par With Neigh bor State Is Countered. As a reason why easte'rn Oregon alfalfa hay growers should not be granted a. reduction in freight rates comparable to those in effect for growers in eastern Washington, J E. Davis, assistant general freight agent for the O.-W. R. & N. rail road and for ten years in charge of the rate department, told the public service commission ' of Oregon yes terday that railroads in Washington were seeking an increase in the rate on hay to the Oreeon level. Mr. Davis, who went on- the wit ness, stand late Friday and con tinued until adjournment yesterday noon, was a star witness for the de fendant railroads in the hearing on the petition presented to the com mission by farm and dairy interests of. eastern and western Oregon The hearing i3 expected to conclude Monday. Railroads in Washington were granted a .freight' increase on nu merous commodities, but not hay, some time ago and they were now in the act of preparing a petition for presentation to the public service commission of that state aimed to eliminate the differential between Oregon . and Washington rates by increasing the latter, said Mr. Davis. On cross-examination by Frederick Steiwer of Pendleton, representing the hay growers, the witness admit ted that no petition had yet, been filed, though asserting that such action would be taken shortly. The last survivor of the firBt party of. emigrants which Marcus Whit man brought to Oregon, John Stoughton, is now within a month of being 92 years of age. He is at the Multnomah rarm near Trout- dale. Mr. . Stoaghton was born at Westfield. Mass., September 23, 1830. At the age of 6 years he moved with his parents to Selma. Ala. Here he stayed five years,' when he moved to Weston, Mo. In 1843, his family joined the first wagon party that ever attempted to cross the plains into the Oregon country, the party under Marcus Whitman, the pioneer missionary. 200 Wagona In Train. Two hundred wagons hauled by ox teams, with five occupants to every wagon, comprised the party which, traveling almost continu ously for seven months, eventually arrived at the spot where Oregon City now stands. Sickness was ram pant during most of the Journey, and timber wolves and Indians were a constant menace. At one time the party was in the path of a stam pede of thousands of buffaloes, and narrowly escaped annihilation. An other time Indians stopped the cav alcade and exacted nine fat beeves as tribute. Three weeks later, according to Mr. Stoughton, the party was again halted by a large party of Indians. Kit Carson . and Fremont, with a couple of dozen soldiers and a few mountaineers, came to the rescue of the travelers and firmly demanded and obtained passage for them. The soldiers then, escorted the party for eight or ten days till it was out of the territory of the hostile tribe. The party, stopping occasionally to allow the women to do the wash ing and the men to renew its supply of meat, finally reached La Grande, where all provisions -gave out. Mar cus Whitman went ahead and, get ting wheat from the Indians, led the party to the present site of Portr land, where it disbanded . Home Is Established Mr. Stoughton. with other mem bers of the party, established a home and lived here for five years. In 1848 he left Portland and went to a place near what is now Salem. Here in 1850 he married Miss Fran ces E. Towneer-d. - Three children were born here, one of which, Mrs. Mary E. Harris, is now living. Mr. Stoughton is not sure of her where abouts at present. In 1879 Mr. Stoughton left Oregon for Red Bluff, Cal., where he lived three years. From 1892 until 1918 Mr. Stoughton lived in Oregon and Washington. The last four years he has, lived at the Multnomah farm. Mr. Stoughton claims the distinc tion of at one time being saved from drowning by Marcus Whit man. He was a great hunter, and so great was his prowess with the rifle that he was often ruled out of shooting matches or handicapped in some way. He always has been a Republican, but several years ago ceased voting the straight ticket. At the last presidential election he voted for Harding. Ku ,Klnx Klan Opposed Although partially deaf Mr. Stoughton has retained- his eyesight and all his. faculties. He is a Seventh Day Adventist and attends not only the meetings of his own faith, but also those of other sects at the farm. He believes firmly in religious tolerance and is strong ly against the Ku Klux Klan. "If I could be young again I would live my whole life over with great zest," he declared. SUMMER WORK LAID OUT Activities of Normal School Are Organized by Student Body. OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL, Mon mouth, July 8. (Special.) The 1922 12-weeks summer session has com pleted the organization of its activ ities. A new policy has been in augurated, inasmuch as the students have taken into their own hands the planning and carrying . out of their activities.! Heretofore a faculty committee, presided over by Miss Jessica Todd, dean of women, has had charge of all social affairs. The new system not only is much more satisfactory to the students, but several changes have been worked out which are designed to serve the whole student body; better. The student body has been sep arated into four groups of approx imately 200 students each and1 dances and non-dance social entertainments will be held each Saturday night. Swimming has been added and an arrangement has been made with the city of Independence whereby normal students will have use of the inclosed swimming pool in the Wil lamette at stated periods. LOGANBERRY CROP SAVED Hillsboro Residents Turn Out in Response to Appeal. HILLSBORO, Or., July 8. (Spe cial.J The extreme hot weather has ripened the loganberries in this community with lightning rapidity. The matter of the loss by reason of over-ripe berries,' shrinkage from the heat and the dry soil cannot be met. However, a crisis has been shown to the community to exist. , A call was sent out to the busi ness men by Dr. L. W. Hyde, presi dent of the commercial body here and A. C. Shute, mayor. Out of the conference which followed a plan was evolved by which the people of the town turned out as a patriotic duty and have done much to save the crop, which would have gone to waste by reason of neglect be fore pickers could be imported. Timber Company Fights Fire. SILVERTON. Or., July 8. (Spe cial.) The Silver Falls Timber company has been fighting a fire in its timber holdings In the Abiqua basin for several days. Dally men have gone from .the mill to assist the loggers. As yet no bridges or camps have been destroyed, and an effort is being made to protect the green timber.' Although snags which hold the fire are being cleared out as fast as possible, no real relief la expected until rain comes. 1 . LIVE COMMUNITY" RAISES MOSTEY FOR BUTLDINO PROJECT THROUGH PRIVATE SUBSCRIPTIONS A3TD ENTERTAINMENTS AND WILL PROVIDE LIBRARY FOR USE OF ALL. THERE- is plenty of public spirit ' lying dormant in every small community and waiting to be stirred into action, as shown by the experience of the University park district, which is looking- forward to the early completion of its new li brary at Lombard and Hereford streets. Since the project was launched last January it has been financed, a community club organ- lied, a library association formed and incorporated, several larjre scale entertainments provided for the- public and eteps taken for fur ther civic improvement. All this activity, which has put University Park distinctly on the map, has ra diated from the library building project as it was conceived and put into execution. "Only the game fish sw-im up stream." This was the nhilosophv of a few leading- spirits ihere who realized that commuuity anterprise should be more than mere noise and a dinning in the ears of city boards ana orriclals or a swarming around the public pork barrel. They rec ommended to the community the policies of a little self-exsrtion and a reliance upon home resources in the main. Given the task of providing- a building for the library which the Multnomah county library association was willing to maintain, provided satisfactory quarters could be furnished, the residents of the community arranged a mass meeting at which the project of buylng a lot and erecting a building was ex plained. In response to an appeal for the funds, more than half th. B.-mntmt necessary for the purchase of the lot was contributed at this meeting. The next day a general canvass was made, with the result that sufficient pieages were secured to cover the balance of the cost of the lot. In this initial effort the subscriptions ranged from 81 to $100, w'th even the children nf thn nnmmnnit,- tributing. Many of the men out of worn onerea lo aonate their labor to the building and newsboys of the district riid thir share in ad vertising the mass meeting. Alter tne purchase of the lot a loan was secured to cover the cost of the 'huildine-. The tp.-miniitmn of the building committee to achieve POPULAR SUMMER RESORT ATTRACTS CROWDS. Hundreds Bathe on Sandy Shore and Others Patronize New Skating Rink. Columbia beach, Portland's play ground on tbe Columbia river, was formally opened last night for the season with a big free dance and Mardi Gras in the nw pavilion. Until late at night the merry crowds swung about amid showers of con- fetti . and a mass ' of serpentine stringers. Every moment was a lively one, for as soon as any of the frolickers left the floor there were others waiting to take their places. The number of dancers was limited- only by the capacity of the floor. From now on there will be some thing doing all of the time at the amusement resort. Bathing along the sandy beach attracted hundreds of persons in the afternoon, the crowds taking advantage of the new bathhouse which has replaced- the old one with a great increase of facilities. Floats have been placed a short distance from the shore, and on these are all the different kinds of paraphernalia dear to the water sportsman's heart. The new skating rink, which has been opened for the first time this year, drew heavy patronage from the long boardwalk last night and was a close rival of the Mardi Gras In popularity.

This indebtedness has stimulated effort on the part of the community rather than tending to dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic residents. At a concert given at the Portsmoth school by the Webber Juvenile or chestra $100 was realized and a "community hoorah," given, recently on the school grounds, cleared $250 for the library fund and in addition secured 100 new members for the community club. Nearly 200O per sons were present at tile "hoorah," the largest crowd that has ever as sembled in University Park for any similar function. Against such at tacks the-' indebtedness will not prove a serious factor, tince the building itself has been leased to the county ilbary association for a period of five years. : The building is of bungalow type, 26 by 50 feet, with a 12 by 20-foot annex. Its sightliness and thor oughness of construction emphat ically are apparent. It Is directly across the street from the Ports mouth school, the determining fac tor in' selecting the site being its proximity to the school and a desire to obviate the necessity of the chil dren crossing the street car tracks. The building is now in the last stages of finishing and will be ready for occupancy by the library asso ciation on August 1. The stocking of it with books and fixtures is ex pected to take about a month and it i wi-11 probably be opened to the pub lic about September 1. The community association which has charge of the "property rs com posed of nine directors, as follows: Thomas Willis, president; Mrs. Bes sie Porter, vice-president; George Mahoney, secretary; E. J. Fully, treasurer, and Rev. John D. Rice, J. ment of industrial journalism at the college. Elbert Bede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel and presi dent of the state editorial associa tion, will act as chairman of the committee of three to judge the pa pers at the meeting of the associa tion at Corvallis, July 21-23. To enable all the country papers in Oregon to enter the contest with a chance to win on merit, the papers have been grouped into three classes. The loving cup is first prize, with a second prize and honorable men tion for third place. The classes in clude:.

"Our experience has convinced us that we have followed the best course, that of self-exertion and self-reliance, in working for this fine community asset, the library," said Rev. Mr. Rice, who has been instrumental in organizing the com munity club and the community as sociation for the library. The whole enterprise is unique in Port land, and, we believe, in the Pacific northwest. We aro sure that in most communities there is willing ness and a spirit of progress wait ing to bo organized, and the people will respond to the best of their ability for the achievement of some really worth-while objective. Or ganization for purely social pur poses is not enough; it is bound to be ephemeral; some constructive ob ject to b achieved, requiring hard work and even sacrifice. Is what is needed to give it backbone and con sistency."
