BOSTON, Nov. 10. Senator;
Henry Cabot Lodge, who In life
-was a figure apart from the mass
of the nation's legislators, among
"whom he moved with distinction,
will have fpneral services in which
, old assaciations will be maintain
ed to the end, and in which his
. simplicity of tastes .will bepre

-The services "at the Christ
church, Cambridge, on Wednes
day at noon,' with Bishop Lawr
' ence, his college classmate offi
ciating, wijl be more nearly those
of the man for whom friends of
a lifetime mourn than of the Uni
ted States senator who has pass
ed after a notable career.
Although it was suggested by
Governor Cox that the bier be
taken to the capitol on Beacon
Hill to lie in state, the.-senator's
family decided to make no change
from the home on Beacon Street
of Dr. Sturgis BIgelow, his boy
hood chum, where the body has
rested since a few hours after
death last night.
BIgelow 111
Dr. BIgelow himself is serious
ly ill, and cannot attend the fun
eral, but the thought that it was
where the senator would choose
to He, within a block of his fo-
clsion. ' imT
" Among the attendants at the
services will . be delegations from
the national senate and house of
representatives, both branches of
the Massachusetts legislature,
committees representing the town
of Nahant, which Senator Lodge
had served as moderator for
years ' of the Massachusetts his
torical society which he had ser
ved as president, and of Harvard
university. It was at Christ
church that Senator Lodge was
married, the day ofter he was,
graduate from Harvard, to Anna
Cabot Mills, and it was from
Chrl3t church that the senator
buried his wife in 1915. j
Its rector,; Rev. Prescott Evarts
will assist Bishop Lawrence.' j
The pall bearers , will be Dr.
Fredrick Shattuck, John T. Morse,

Many Message Come
- Tributes and messages , of con
dolence : poured" in ' on the family
today from all parts of the world.
President Coolldge sent his mes
sage of sympathy and made pub
lic a tribute, that placed Senator
Lodge as 'one of the greatest men
of our time." Governor Cox, in
a formal proclamation issued to
day, said: - '-. j .
"A great man has gone from as.
The character of his long public
service may - be measured by the
highest standards, and it will not
be found wanting. " '
"He never avoided a struggle
for the principles be embraced
and he" met such contests wth
the vigor and ; grasp of an out
standing statesman. His broad
culture and Intellectuality were
known not only to his country
men but all over the world. His
talents would have made him im
minent in any walk of life. j.
The governor ordered that the
state departments be closed dur
ing the hour of his funeral and
that the flags be placed through
out the state at half staff. f

Dr. McCaughey, pastor, of the

that the question of what. citizen

Corn Takes Drop; Smallest
Production in Ten Years
Indicated on the Face of
Official Reports
POTATOES DO BETTER
THAN FIRST EXPECTED
Over Thirty Million Bushels
of Flax Seed to be Pro
' duced, Is Belief
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 The
smallest corn crop since 1913 was
the reward of American ' farmers
this year who planted the fifth
largest acerage to that crop in the
history of farming. . ;
Not only was the harvest sub
stantially below those .of the last
four years but the merchantable
quality of this year's crop is the
lowest In 30 years with the excep
tion of 1917.
Preliminary estimates of pro
duction. Issued today by the de
partment of agriculture placed tie
crop at 2,447.538,000 bushels, the
acreage at 105,605,000 at 1.4 per
cent more than last year and the
merchantable quality of the crop
at 63.2 per cent. ; Corn production
during the last four years has
averaged more than 3,000,000,000
bushela.
The white potato crop, estimat
ed at 454,119,000 bushels is
slightly larger than the bi crops
or 1917 and 1922, yield in north
ern states running far above earli
er expectations because In some
regions the crop1 escaped frost and
continued growing far Into Octo
ber. Per capita production this
year is 4.08 bushels compared
with an average of 3.76 bushels
per capita during the last 20
years. ' . , - -.
Abundance Expected ' .;
I There will 'be n ample jsufpl j
of - -good "potatoes at moderate
prices, government ; officials de
clare and. because of lower prices
in some western states, some good
potatoes will be feed to livestock.
There are Indications that some of
the crop may even not be harvest
ed. The arerage yield ran to 121
buhels per acre as compared with
99.1 buhels, the ten year average.
Drought in important southern
producing states greatly reduced
the sweet potato crop which es
timated at 75,620,000 bushels or
about 25,000,000 bushels below
the average of "the last five years,
and the smallest crop since 1916.
Flax seed production returned
this year to the high level of the
period from 1902 and 1908 and a
total crop of 30,652,000 bushels is
estimated. f S
Tobacco Falls Off !
Tobacco production Is 261,000,-
000 pounds less than last year
with a total crop of 1,213,975,000
pounds estimated.
The apple crop, estimated at
177,238.000 bushels la slightly
above the average of the last five
years but smaller ' than last year.
Prospects are particularly poor in
Washington, Idaho, Michigan and
in commercial sections of Pennsyl
vania and Maryland.
The commercial crop Is estimat
ed at 27,188,000 barrels.
The harvest of pears this year
has been exceeded only once, in
1920. Production has about dou
bled ince 1909. '
California leads- this year with
4,867,000 bushels.
Peanuts suffered from unfavor
able weather and the smallest crop
since the government began to
keep record of them in 1916 is the
result. V
Convict Is Implicated -
4 in Penney Store Rob"bery
. ...-.
Finding of a black leather hand
bag, one qf those stolen from the
J. C. Penny store recently, J. A.
McClain, a farmer living I just
west of Salem . Heights : school
Sunday, has lead prison and police
authorities to believe that perhaps
William Cosby, convict who es
caped from the penitentiary Tues
day; might be connected1 with the
burglary. The handbag was
found near the place where Cosby
abandoned his stolen automobile.
That Cosby received 1 aid J from
the outside in order to stage a suc
cessful getaway is believed by the
prison authorities.: Cosby, ac
cording to prison authorities, was
outside the walls of the institution
the night that the Penny store was
robbed, though he did not escape
for two pprf days.

UPOH DEVELOPMENT
Potential Hydro - Electric
Power Governed By Ne
cessity Says Expert
Hydro-electric development in
Oregon will go ahead only as it
becomes necessary and can be
done economically, according to
Franklin T. Griffith, president of
the Portland Electric Power com
pany; and of a national electrical
association, who spoke at the
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Monday..: Interest costs are the
main expenses in connection with
using water for power, he said.
and in nearly all cases these are in
the proportion of 3 to. 1 'over la
bor and fuel for steam, It was
because of this that Henry Ford
abandoned his efforts to gain con
trol of the Muscle Shoals project.
"There is no such thing as the
exploitation or control of potential
water power and all control must
be bona fide and the site actually
developed . because of , legislation "
Mr. Griffith declared. "There is
no capitalization of water rights
and no longer a field of opportu
nity for promoters. Federal re
gulations govern the, use of water
power sites, these regulations ap
plying to 85 percent of the poten
tial undeveloped water power sites
in the country, a (great portion of
which are in the northwest."
Mr. Grifith outlined the history
of legislation covering water
rights and permits since 1873.
Undeveloped water power appeals
to the imlganatlon, he said.
In closing Mr. Griffith urged
business men In general not to
gloat over, what they may believe
to have been a political victory,
but to take ' recognition of the
heavy radical vote and to spend
their ' efforts in raising up those
who disagreed and to have more
tolerance. There Is an opportu
nity for everyone to rise today,
and this oportunity is the greatest
at present than in' any previous
time in history. ' ;

Horsemen Ordered From
"r Fairgrounds
Final Vote of the Board
At a meeting of the Oregon
state fair board here yesterday,
after hearing discussion , on both
sides of the question of closing
the fair grounds during- the win
ter, it was finally definitely decid
ed that the grounds should be
closed, and all horses removed.
Mayor Geisy, Mrs. RIggs and
Mr. Wilson were among those who
appeared. Mr; ' Geisy stated frank
ly 1 that he was not posted on all
the details of the proposition, but
that he represented a number ot
Salem business men who believed
that the proposed Idea would re
sult in detriment to the city.. He
was willing to pledge his full sup
port to the board, however, in
whatever it decided.
Mrs. Rlggs stated that her-sole
interest was in horses generally,
and that she thought it would be
unfair to the horsemen and a de
triment to the sport to have them
removed from the grounds.
Although it has been , hinted
that one main reason for barring
the horsemen from winter privi
leges ia misconduct and abuse of
privileges on the part of some, the
board carfnlly refrained from any
personalities of any kind. Rev
erence to available statistics
brought out the fact that out of
341 entries at the state fair only
about 20 wintered at this track,

Regiments of Cooks Labor
To Feed British Royalties
LONDON. Nov. 10 (AP). The
royal kitchens at Windsor Castle
and Buckingham Palace, which
were overhauled during the ab
sence of the king and queen in
the Scottish Highlands and re
now spick and span, are very In
teresting institutions.
It is said . there is no royal
house ' in the world -where the
kitchens are so well arranged as
In the grimly1 gray castle at Wind
sor, the home of English sov
ereigns since the days of William
the Conqueror. Built originally
centuries ago, they have" been
modified from time to time to
meet the needs of changed condi
tions, but wherever possible the
old has been preserved and not
infrequently English beef is serv
ed to King George which has been
roasted on a spit that did duty in
the days ot the Plantagenet kings.
Until the time of King Edward
the royal menus were published
for the benefit of the public, but
King Edward abolished the prac
tice and his son King George has
followed suit. J ,
Each kitchen at Windsor has a
chef. One devotes himself to
roasts, another to soups, a third
to entrees, a fourth to pastries,
et cetera. At the orders of each
chef are four cooks who have un
der them a good-sized corps of
assistants, altogether a force
large enough to take care of the
extraordinary demands upon the
royal larder.
Highway Engineer Gets
Bids for New Residence

and will announce the winner in

-, Three former secretaries of the
state . fair, : Lee, Meredith and
Wesh were present. In answer
to a direct question Frank Welsh
stated that in his opinion closing
the grounds would not injure the
prospects of races at the fair.
Those who remonstrate the hard
est," he said, will be back next year
if the purses and other drawing
cards are as good as' heretofore.
A. A. Lee testified' that during
his seven years secretaryship of
the state fair, keeping the barns
open had always been a source of
expense and trouble. Although
some of the horsemen did not give
any trouble, he" said, there were
often some whose presence was
not beneficial. On . the whole, he
concluded, the fair would not be
injured, but would be better off
if the grounds were closed during
the winter. Good horses will al
ways be drawn where-there are
good purses, was his opinion.
Frank Welsh was secretary be
tween, the years 1900 and 1909.
During much of that time there
was an open bar running on the
grounds every season.-During one
year horses were barred from the
grounds because- of undesirable
conditions, he stated. There was
