While registered at the Imperial
hotel an Oregon kin reporter got
hold of him and the following- if
the result:
.- Consider a town in Oregon re
ceiving its heat from the fires un
der the earth's crust; tapping the
interior of the globe for steam
with which to drive the wheels of
Indugtry, or generating electric
power sufficient for a metropolis.
Such may be the future of Lake
view, Or. Anyway, Harry Bailey,
merchant, has enough vision to
paint such a picture, and he points
to precedents.
"That geyser which started its
spouting near Lakeview last year
may turn out to be a pretty valu
able proposition," declared Mr.
Bailey. "The water is hot, but if
a pipe is run down below the wat
er to hardrock, living steam will
beencountered. There is a man
down In California who tapped
steam in that way and the (South
ern Pacific sent engineers to ex
amine it and they reported that
there was enough "steam energy
vailables to electrify the entire
Southern Pacific system, which.
means about 4,000 miles. Italy is
taking steam from a volcano and
the United States government is
making an appropriation for a
commission which has gone to
Italy to investigate how the thing
is done. Well, that geyser near
Lakeview has the same possibill-
ies. Some day someone will pipe
own to the steam and then there
ill be enough available at least
for the purposes of our small town
and maybe for the surrounding
country."

'Another Industry for Woodburn
The California Packing Com
pany has decided to enter the field
here, contract for" 200 eacres of
cucumbers and begin at once the
erection of a pickling plant In
Woodburn,
Joseph Paus, the representative
of the packing company, has been
here 'the past week and gave out
the Information that the company
has leased ground for five years,
with option of an additional five
years, on which will be erected at
once a 36x160 pickling plant. The
site was leased from .the Wood'
bum .FruI Qrowers Cooperative
Association, who- holds .an. option
on the Livesay tract on the old
sawmill location, west of the Juice
plant, i
This means that from $50,000
to $75,000 will be placed in circu
lation in this section next-season.
The company would prefer to con
tract with about 100 growers for
two acres of cucumbers each,
which" will mean a few' hundred
dollars to each. Mr. Paus thinks
it not advisable for a grower to
handle more than two acres so as
to give the growing, and especial
ly the gathering of cucumbers, at
the proper size, the needed atten
tion. . Next season , the price of
cucumbers will be $10 over the
price offered last season. f
The suggestion has been made
that much of the vacant 'ground
in Woodburn could be utilized for
this purpoose and even from back
yards quite an income could be
realized.
This, plant will employ the serv
lice of one or two men the year
around and from 10 to 25 during
the season. It is also understood
that this1 company Is a buyer ot
seiau picKiing onions, caonage,
pumpkins and beans. A rumor is
afloat that there wilt be a large
warehouse constructed on the
same site for other purposes.

Jones Defenda Party.
PORTLAND, Maine, Feb. 12.
If the guilty are run down and
punished relentlessly, the Teapot
Dome scanOal will not injure the
republican party, Senator Wesley
L. Jones ot Washington said in
an address tonight at the annual
dinner ot the Portland Lincoln
club.
"Nobody will be shielded," Sen
ator Jones said. "Republicans ap
prove corruption no more than do
democrats. Those who sugges
the contrary harm their country
by creating a baseless distrust of
their public servants in the minds
of the people. The man who seeks
to destroy confidence in the In
tegrity of a great party Is doing
his country a great wrong and
will see the time when he will re
gret his action."
Bad Ethics Seen.
"I did not rejoice over the
knowledge that four members cf
the cabinet of the preceding ad
ministration along with others
prominently identified with it, had
been hired by the same oil in
terests. Such employment was
technically legal but was ethically
bad. It has become a very com
mon practice for men to serve the
government awhile and then cease
such service and connect them
selves with a business or employ
ment .which they can make use ot
the knowledge gained and the
friendships formed to make finan
cial ; profit for themselves and
those to whom they sell their serv
ices. System Decried.
'Some bureaus and departments
of the government are largely
schools where men receive train
ing and a knowledge that enables
them to fleece the public and de
fraud the government. This
should be stopped. It should be
made a crime for a man to proee-
orgamzntion of both republican
and democratic partjies. Thf con
ference adopted t he !-follovfnp res
olution: i
"We favor appropriate legisla
tion meet the stronp and grow
ing demand for a method that will

WASHINGTON'. Feb. 12. The
refusal of President Coolidge to
ask for the immediate resignation
of Secretary Denby as requested

clared in a statement tonight by

Asserting no president "ever
had a clearer case or better justi
fication to act," Mr Hull, said the
people 4of the coirnfry "are in no
mood for quibbling or resort to

ter of ridding the national admin

ness to hold office is patent and

LONDON, Feb. 12. (By The
Associated Press.) In a calm at
mosphere, though not devoid of
excitement and in circumstances
which a few months' ego would
have been regarded as impossible,
the new labor minister, J. Ramsay
Mcdonald, today announced the
policy of his government to a
crowded and intensely interested
house. His speech was character
ized as able and well reasoned.
and it earned compliments from
two former premiers Stanley Bald
win arid H. H. Asquith, leaders
respectively of the conservative
and liberal parties.
Turbulence Absent
There were no scenes of turbu
lence or criticism such as have
characterized many former great
occasions in British parliamentary
annals. It might have been a new
government formed by either- of
the two great traditional parties,
which in past times have alter
nately controlled Great Britain's
administration. The country has
called for fair play for the.; labor
government and from anything
visible in the bouse of commons
today, fair play will be accorded.
Taking into consideration the
novelty of the position ot the min
isters, who' only had three weeks
to prepare to present themselves
before parliament under excep
tionally difficult circumstances
circumstances which would have
severly taxed the energies of the
well versed and experienced ad
ministrations formed by the older
parties the house was willing to
adjourn Immediately the prime
minister concluded his speech arid
would have done so but for the.
pertinacity of a few members.
