STATESMAN: TVRSDAY, MAY FAREWELL SAID x " TO DR. ELLIOTT Impressive Patriotic Service in Honor of Pastor Who Leaves For France A throng of Interested people gath ered at the First Presbyterian church Sunday ni.t'at. attracted by the fare well service In honor of Pastor Carl H. Elliott, who is to leave tomorrow for the east preparatory to sailing for France. Joseph Albert presided over the meeting. Rev. G. F. Holt of the First Bap tist church, speaking in behalf of tha Salem Ministerial association, paid a hearty tribute to his col league, who, he sajd, had proved himself far more to the city of Salem than merely the Tastor of the Pres hyterian church. It was with mingjed gratification and regret that he ibade Godspeed to the man who had conse crated him.felt tto a broader and harder field of work. ft Frank Durbin spoke In behalf of the parents of the boys In France, and the latter part of the evening was occupied by Jim Palmer of Port ldan. who recently returned from several years of Y. M. C. A. work on the French front. ' Palmer, who Is a man -of magnetic personality and every inch a soldiery kept the audi ence vacrillatlng ..between laughter and tears for an hour or more as he told of the work'in the huts and of scenes on the field. He made plain in Paster Elliott just what he was going into, aad predicted, that he would come back a bigger, better and stronger man and preacher because of the experiences In camp. Excellent special music of a pa triotic , order was rendered by. the choir and soloists, and Jim Palmer took a hand in swinging the crowd into lusty -congregational singing. Patriotic enthusiasm',, ran high throughout the meeting and over shadowed thq feeling of regreh At the close there was a crush of people about the platrorm to bid the pastor farewell.! Last night there .was a hrlef con gregational meeting ofAhe church at which steps were taken toward the dissolution of the pastoral relation ship. Nothing is known as yet as to what will be done with resard to supplying the pulpit: ASSOCIATION TO TOUR ORCHARDS Three Day Trip to Be Jilade Through Walnut Groves ;; of Valley ; ' A field trip or tour of inspection of the various nut orchards of the Willamette valley has been decided on by the Western Walnut Growers association to be made on August 2S, 27 and 28. to take place -of the as sociation's mid-summer meeting. The start will be made from Portland in automobiles by way of the west side of the valley as . far south as Eugene, thence back , over, the east side. ! ' . - r. All of the large nut orchards will be Inspected for the purpose ascer taining what progress nut culture is making In this part of the Pacific Northwest and keeping close tab on any possible development of an im proved walnut that is more adapted to western Oregon conditions than those now included in the areas plant ed and which have attained the pro ducing stage. Knight. L. Tearcy, superintendent of the Skyline orchards in . the Rosedale district south or Salem, which is making a specialty of wal nuts, filberts, and prunes, believes this trip will be productive of great benefit to the valley orchardists and be will Dtft forth his best efforts to make it a success. He is of the opin ion that a hundred or more persons interested in the nut "culture will take advantage of this means of gain ing - some first-hand - information about raising walnuta. Among these will be several very high - authori ties In horticultural work In distant states. T brief business meeting of the as sociation will be conducted in Eu gene during the evening pr eft-din; the start on the return trip.

An appeal went out from Public Service Commissioner ' Corey to Di ract6r General McAdoo yesterday for a reduction In rates on chrome ore from Grant count v. Or. The chrome ore deposit there is said by a representative of the United States geological survey to be the largest or Its kind Jn the United States. . In bis letter to the director gen eral Commissioner Corey says: . "We desire to avail ourselves of the suggestion by Honorable John Barton Payne, general counsel, divi sion of law, that matters pertaining to. questions involving rates of car riers be taken up by correspondence between the " three "governmental agencies with a view of avoiding the expense and delay involved in a for mal hearing abd place a highly im portant matter from the point of view. of both, the government, and producers of this'state before you. , "An immense deposit of chrome ore. which J. S. Diller of the United States geological survey, is quoted as saving, is the largest chrome ore de posit in the United States, is located in and is being mined in Grant coun ty. Oregon. Mining engineers esti mate 60.000 tons of ore In sight. The grade is low, averaging about 34 per cent. . J "This ore Is located about forty- five miles from, a small. narrow gauge railroad and Js hauled to the railroad at a cost of. $3.50 per ton. The Sumpter Valley railway, the narrow-gauge road referred to, hauls the ore to Baker, Or.; on the O.-W. R. & N- where there is a transfer charge of 25 cents per ton, added to a rate or $3.40 per ton tor a haul of eighty-one miles. Thus the miners or this ore have to meet a' handicap or $7.13 per ton to meet their com petitors in California and points In Oregon located on the O.-W. R. & N. The latter company publishes the same rates to eastern points from Baker on ihe main' line as they do from Joneph. located on a branch line, eighty-rour miles from La Grande. "The miners of the ore referred to think it would only be fair for the transcontinental lines to absorb charges of the Sumpter Valley from Prairie Baker to put fhem on a competitive basis. In view of the urgent demand on' the part ot the government for chrome, ore now so essential in the manufacture of ar mor plate, projectiles and high speed tools. tc is It not consistent .to urre that the transcontinental lines ab sorb the shorter haul charges, thus placing the rate more nearly on a paritv with' California points? "We should be-pleased to be ad vised if this request win be grapted. or If a more formal protest on the part of the miners and the public service commission of Oregbn Is nec essary to bring about the desired result." Excavation Is Started for Hood Rier Bridge has been comnleted for the foundation construction of the $40,000 concrete bridge on the Co lumbia River highway at Hood River and cement pouring will begin at once. It was announced yesterday a the orr ice of the state highway eora mission. The commission. annqunces that a night shirt has been put to work on the New Era stretch of the Taciric highway In Clackamas county, j and the Oregon Hassam Paving company, the contracting firm, will begin; lay ing pavement as soon as the weather Is conFidered satisfactory, i-tvlnc of tjie base rock Is being completed. Eastern Oregon Company ;- Permitted to Boom Logs A franchise to boom and ta't logs on the Minam river was granted by the public service eommlsion yester day to the Mlnani Lumber company. Terms of the franchlre require that the Improvements proposed be start ed within 90 days from the date of the order and that the woik be com pleted within two years. . The -com mission disregarded an ap plication of the George Talmer Lum ber Co. of LaGrande-which petitioned that the Mlnam Co. be required o Include In its Improvements facili ties fo handling that company's logs as well as its own. Upon Inventi ,.tinr ihf commission estimated Uhat the added .Improvement would cost about SKO.nne ana inai me ion charge "would not amount to more than one-third of that amonnt.
