tB.jIjItm.j.jun L fmn t 1 MILLER IIILI ONMEIIL AT OLD CKAMP0E6 He Was In Washington and Helped in Urging Pending Bills In Congress Editor Statesman: Went to New York to attend child welfare conference. It was a Tery Interesting meeting. Most all of the states and territories were represented and some of the foreign countries. One of the most Impressive addresses was de livered by a lady representing Ru mania. The meeting was under the auspices of ' The Child Wel fare Insurance Corporation of the United States," whose main o'fi- eers are Miss Sophia Irene Loeb. and Miss Margaret Woodrow Wil son. The great purpose of the or ganization Is to create a home for all the children and not f!ace them in public institutions. Miss Loeb and Miss Wilson "certainly are entitled to great credit for giving their ' time to this most worthy cause. These ladies raise a great deal of their funds by pri vate subscription from wealthy people of New York and other parts of the United States. We .were tendered a banquet by a Dr. Harris, a wealthy citizen of the city of New York. Many wealthy people were guests and contribu ted liberally at the meeting of this worthy cause. . 'I)aiupor- Memorial Ruiltliiig From New York. I went to Washington, D. C. for the pur pose of securing, if possible, an appropriation for a memorial . building at Champoeg. Washing ton City Is a most interesting place. It Is, the capital of this great country, and we all know It is a historical, and one could spend many days there of inter est and profit. To watch the pro ceedings of congress and see the men in action whom we read about, of course Is very Interest ing, at least to those coming from the far west, and it is unfortunate 1 that we on the Pacific coast are so far away from the seat of gov ernment. The Oregon delegation are all hard workers and they are most creditably mentioned in congres sional circles about Washington. They are most courteous and kind to visitors and give them every . consideration. Senator McNary introduced a bill asking tor $250.- . 600 for a memorial building to be j erected at Champoeg, Marion ! county. Oregon. Senator McNary is one of the most active and in fluential senators in Washington. He is a very hard worker, most obliging and courteous. Repre sentative Hawley, who as you know, has lately been promoted to be chairman of the ways and mean3 committee, the mostpower ful committee in either branch of congress, waa very enthusiastic about Champoeg. and introduced & bill in the house for an appro priation of $300,000. The Historic Meeting Let me say right here, this i? a very meritorious measure. Every Two special events are sched uled for the American Legion of Salem and the citizens of this community during the following two weeks. The first of thetse will be Tuesday evening, when a gigantic Post meeting will be held at the armory with the general public invited. The second will be on April 9. when the national commander of the American Le-J giou will visit Salem. Capitol Post No. 9 of the Amer ican Legion will hold an open meeting Tuesday evening, March 27 at the .local armory at eight o'clock. Mayor T. A. Livesly will be present and speak as well as several state Legion officers. Rei ports of committees will be made and there there will be the pub lic initiation of fifty candidates for membership in the American Legion. National Commander E. E. Spafford of New York is sched uled to arrive in Salem on the evening of April 9 for an Ameri can Legion rally which will bring delegates here from many Posts of the valley. There will be a din-; ner during the early part ot the evening for which reservations now being made. : One of the special features of the occasion will be the parade.! The Portland drum corps, the' Sheridan band, the Albany band and the Salem drum corps will participate. . Other interesting features will be added. In the evening there will be a meeting at the armory at which Commander Spafford will speak. In addition there will be a short program followed by a dance. McMINNVILLE ( Special )- Kational Commander Spafferd of the American Legion will visit Ihe Salem Legion post the second week in April, and McMinnvllle Post No. 21 ..will be represented at the bancruetmeeting and dance held in his honor. Commander Locke Mardls Is already making plans for a good sized delegation from McMinnvllle. A parade In which arlons legion musical or ganizations will participate. Is planned In Epaf ford's honor. SILVERTON (Special) The th annual Silverton Community Veteran's Column - - . I l MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department In The Oregon Statesman, which was started on Sunday. March 11. hai been meeting with con siderable favor during the past Two weeks. In the future Questions per taining to music will be an swered by the Editor and there will be a series of ar ticles on the general history of music. The "Music Editor spent the week in Portland attending the Grand Opera and therefore was unable to supply the necessary material for this Sunday; but will be prepared for the Sun day Issue of April 1. one knows and must realize that Champoeg is one of the great his toric spots of America. What hap pened there 85 years ago is very significant. The decision was made at that famous meeting oi 1843 that the territory then com prising nearly 300.009 square miles should be a part of the grea. American Republic. This was ac complished without an army or a navy The effect, however, was a- decisive as if it had been won by a bloody war, and had this terri tory been acquired by war, cost ing blood and treasure, there would be no question about erect ing a memorial to the achieve ment; but it was achieved by peaceful means, save those who lost their lives at the hands of the Indians and risked their lives many times at the hands of the hostile Indians. Therefore, it i not asking too much or anything out of the ordinary for this great government, with her 350 billion of wealth, to erect a memorial building in commemoration of the men who hoisted the American flag on this historic spot in 1843 Men stood there bareheaded, and some of them barefooted, hungry ready to die any minute, that this land might be a part of America. Certainly, we should not nesltat to consummate this purpose. The building should be erected with out delay. A National Measure This is not a local measure. I is not a state measure in a way but it is a national measure. It would be a state shrine that every man, woman and child would be proud of. Every civic body, ever commercial body and every news paper In the state should get be hind this movement, and by united effort we can and will win, for our cause Is just.' Someone may ask: "What pre cedent do we have for such ac lion?" In this connection. I wish tc call your attention to a few Inter rating Items. I Bat in the gallery of the United States senate and heard them discuss and pass or an appropriation of $1,750,000 "providing for the participation of the United States In the celebra tion in 1930 of -the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the conquest of the Northwest Terri tory." This bill Is for monument? and memorials in different part? of the country, one in particular n the state of Indiana. Another bill pending Is one "to provide for the erection of a monument or the Kennesaw Mountain batth? field"; another providing for a similar appropriation for a monu ment in the state of Oklahoma: another "authorizing the erection Fair is one of the events that the American Legion and the Silver- ton Chamber or Commerce are planning on. The exact date of the fair has not yet been set but will be sometime In September, al in the previous years. The gen eral, committee is as follows: A. W. Simmons, chairman, G. W. Hubbs, C. A. Reynolds members. Ernest Starr has been reelected secretary. The sub-committees will be appointed in a week or so. There are fourteen departments this year, an art department being the only addition. "How Is the membership," said a voice over the telephone just a minute ago as this column was be ing written. Well now that -Is another question and here's how. Adjutant Bassett reported yes terday that the total for Capitol Post No. 9 had reached the high mark of 1063 and appeared to be going strong.- Which brings up the fact that now is the time to continue the drive and reach the 1200 mark. How do you like that? Speaking of membership brings up the fact that some are paying their 1929 dues already. The ad jutant reports that the number to be forging ahead and in a short time a strenuous campaign will be waged. Adjutant Ray Bassett spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Port land and part of the time was at the State headquarters. Re re ports all well with the barnstorm ing troupe. S. J. Baylies, district executive committeeman, was a Salem visi tor Tuesday. Membership is the all absorbing topic of conversa tion with him and all sections of his district are showing excellent returns.

Milton A. Miller Portland. Or.. Mar. 23. 1928. (Air. Aimer Is well known to all Oregonians. He has for a long time taken a vital Interest in the activities of the pioneer societies of this state. He is very earnest in bis advocacy of the proposed memorial building .at Champoeg enough to bind. Last fall we sold and he certainly makes out in the above staetment a good cause for that undertaking. Ed.) IIS 'BEST HARVESTER Polk Farmer Was Outstand ing Speaker At Combine Harvester Conference George Cromley, a farmer who lives seven miles west of Salem, was one of the outstanding speak ers at the combine harvester eon ference held at Corvallls on March 16, according to the sentiment ex pressed by the farmers present Cromley told them plain, straight forward facts obtained from 10 years of practical experience. One farmer seemed to express the opin ion of those sitting around him by the remark, "He is all right He knows what he is talking about." In referring to his experience with the use of a combine under Willamette valley condition, Cromlew made the following state ments: "We purchased our first mach ine 10 years ago. Had I listened to the advice of Willamette valley far mers, we would never have bought a machine. We went ahead on our own judgment, and we have now purchased our second machine. They told us the climate here was no good for the use of a combine, because the wet seasons would ser iously Interfere with our harvest ing. We have been here 18 years. I would like to ask where In the world Is there a better harvesting climate. I know of several farmers who saved -their clover seed last year because they had a combine, and the argument of a wet season Is a myth. Proved Their Case "After we had operated our ma chine for several years, the neigh bors began to admit It would save as much grain as the binder-separator method. Those who follow ed the machine all said it was sav ing lots more grain, and they be- gan begging us to do their grain ana clover harvesting for them. "They told us the land would get foul. A binder had been used on the farm for 60 years. I told them If a combine can scatter any more, or any different kinds of weed seed, I certainly would like to see how it works In order to do It. While we have some weeds, our - weed problem is not nearly bad as. It was 10 years ago. Some years when we do not care to plow the straw under, we Dlow a furrow around the field, then touch a match to the scattered straw. This kills all the weed seeds on the top of the ground. Cana dian thistle, French pink and wild oats are In perfect shape to scat ter out .even before grain Is ripe enough to find. Last fall we sold artar load of oats that was espe cially free of weeds, and the weed difficulty Is a myth the same as the wet season argument. Conserves the Straw "It always used to hurt my feel greatly to burn a straw stack. I knew the adaatage of plowing it under, because our heavy winter rains cause it to become dissolved Into the soil rery Quickly. It Is expensive to spread on the land by hand, and hence the reason so many burn It, The plowing under of the straw that was scattered by the combine has added a great deal of humus to our soil. It has loosened It up and has made it farm roach easier. Abovt Clover Seed - "Clover seed is small and diffi cult to separate. It must be thor agbly dry.' To a cannot, save all MM STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON, SUNDAY MORNING, tbe teed with any kind ot a ma chine if lt .lt damp. We hart hand led our closer for 10 yearj with a combine. We nave found It a far mora practical means ot hatrestr lug the clover while It If dry, than we formerly found with the huller method. "Borne one mentioned about a certain party who took a pile of clover straw that went through a combine and got soma seed out of It by putting It through a huller. I woulci like to state that I can take a pile of straw that has gone through a huller and I most cer tainly can get seed out of It by putting It through my combine. "It did not take us long to learn how to regulate oar machine so as to save all the clover seed. We have never lost one pound of clo ver seed due to heating. In the sack, and have never lost one sack of grain through the use of the combine, but I may add we did lose lots of grain In the shock, and lots of clover in the wind row, while we used to wait for the thresher and the huller. "We have found that the clover heads dry very quickly if left standing in the field, but If you cut clover and put It in a windrow it will draw dampness from, the ground during the months of Sep tember and October. I feel that clover will germinate better If thoroughly matured than If It Is cut immature and artificially dried. We hate sowed our own clover seed for several years, and If the combine hurt the germination have sometimes been glad, because we frequently have been getting too thick a stand by sowing eight pounds to the acre. We have ob tained more purple seed when our clover has been arrowed to ripen the natural way. And Vetch, Too The harvesting of vetch was one of the main reasons for the pur chasing of the combine, and in all of our 10 years of experience we have handled vetch with no trou tie at all, and there has never been any question about the anal ity of our seed. If vetch is lying perfectly flat on the ground you must have a cutting device on the end of the platform, and we used an extra man to punch It alone on the platform and to keep It off the sickle bar. Our neighbors have come and begged us to cut their vetch, and as an accommodation we have done it on different occa sions andr have never had any trouble at all. "The combine has been a mighty relief to us in harvesting vetch. It has been outstandingly success ful for the harvesting of our grain and clover seed. It stands out as the great forward movement for making farming more easy as well as more profitable. Must Keep Pace "I realise the combine still has opposition, but I do not pay too mucn attention to those Willam ette valley farmers who are inclin ed to discourage, because we know that every mew invention is dis couraged. There is hope, however Because me rarmers in the valley have agreed that the binder Is bet ter than the old fashioned cradi Th fa rm ay a 1 .. ' ... - tJvO KDlCe With toe workmen In industry, and if a new and Improved machine comes iong I will buy it. When I bought my first automobile years ago, I naa a mue trouble on the road one aay. A neighbor passed bv and aid that automobiles would never worn and that I had better stick to 'good old Dobbin. However, the autos have worked, and mlahtv saiisiacioruy, too. I would no more think of hitoh- mg old Dobbin to the binder and going back to the old method of harvesting, than I would of hitch ing oia uoobln to the buggy and doing away with my automobile. muw mil cuae. i nave vet n find the first combine user who is sorry he bought his machine, end there are something like 76 macaines in the valley." ynopsl ef the Annual Statement f v.

EXPLORER FfflflG IP TO Hlllffl Globe-Trotting, Botanical Wanderer Plans New Trip at Age of 80- STOCKHOLM.. fr) A globe-trotting, botanical explorer at 80 Is the Rev. even jonan Enander of Ltllherrdal, Sweden. who despite his age Is preparing to start on another expedition this time to the Himalaya moun tains. Enander has for 40 years col lected Yarloue species and hybrids of the sallow family, trees similar to the willow, and his adventur ous trips In search of these plants have carried him around the world. In 188S Enander was invited by Swedish botanists to collabor ate on a new textbook on the Swedish flora. He then discovered that the studies of the sallow fam ily had been neglected and this started him on his quest to classi fy and to trace the origin of the various species, many of which he has brought home from distant places, keeping them In water and improvised flower pots while crossing oceans or continents. Some years ago he returned from Central Aeia with a bucket-full of saplings whleh he had carried half way around the globe. Enander also Is pastor in the small community of Llllherrdal in northern Sweden. His trips have carried him Into many experiences. He once was shipwrecked ia Greenland and lived forJthree days on a deserted Island until rescued by none less than the Danish king who was cruising aboard his yacht. Once be landed in the United States with but one dollar in his pocket and made his way to Canada. f the Annual Statement of TUB I.TBKBTY UTB INSURANCE CO of Topeka. in the State of "Kn . on ik. thirt-.fint d.v of December.

The Jurors found that in places the rock sidewall of the canyon, on a line with the broken end of the dam, could be crushed read ily under their blows, made with mall hammers.
