(AP) After a secret meeting repre sentatives of the actors equity as sociation and motion picture pro MIS I MS ducers association late- yesterday afternoon stated "We have met to- ' day and will meet again on Mon-j day." ' Efforts to pry Into the results! of the conference, which sought to break a two-month deadlock arising from equity's campaign for recognition in the films, brought: no fnrt&er information. Aa equity representative said both factions had agreed not t discuss publicly the trend nego tiations nad taken. Equity had demanded a new contract form, a clause of which . would prohibit an actor belonging to the association from working in Trodaiiops Wth non-members, which the producers refused to J'fcr consider. Suspension of equity members accepting contracts in violation of the demand, a suit for $1,000,000 damages against Tully Marshall and Warner Brothers, Inc., for al- V leged breach of the aqtors-agree-aaest with equity, and opposition to the stand by prominent screen players followed. The producers attacked the demand as an at tempt to establish closed shop in the industry and said they would ot submit to dictation from equity in the selection of casts.

His more -recent letter follows: With tbs two weeks encamp ment much more than half com pleted the Salem Y boys at Elk Lake are getting Into the routine of affairs sufficiently so that for Friday, August 2, the boys them selves will be in charge and the leaders will be retired from ser vice -for the day. Fellows who started the two weeks as rather dubious campers are now coming into real form and do their du ties with the skill of old and ex perienced woodsmen. Those who found It hard at first to take their morning dip now beat the whole outfit Into the early plunge.

SHIPPERS WILL ASK BOISE, Ida., Aug. 3 (AP Reports were current here today that southern Idaho shippers would ask the interstate commerce commission to reopen the Kraft Cheese company case in which the company sought reductions on commodity rates to Caifornla points. The commission denied the re duction on the grounds that the commodity rates on this product were already lower than the fourth class rate. Shippers,, here were fearful that such, a decision would encourage the railroads to app'y class rates to products now enjoying commodity rates and thus,, cause a general raise in shipping costs. Former Pastor To Appear Here Rev. John Parsons. D.

Is more strange than fiction and fully as odd as the stories one sees in the movies. And if you don't be lie-re it, con sider the case of J. L. Harris and bis common law wife, who lived In Turner. For five full years lrs. Harris cut cord wood for her husband and did various sundry "chores," to show she was a faithful helper! But he refused to marry her and "Mrs. Harris" tired of. her "hus band's infidelity and left him. going to the home of Hanschlj and taking her child with her. But Harris was not so easily de. serted. Within a few days he wrote an anonymous letter to the Harris woman and addressed to Hanschlj wherein the wTlter. proTed to be Harris, threatened violence to the woman unless she left the country. Harris followed up his written message with a call at Handchij's place, where he demanded that his "wife" provide him with $21 with which to purchase a truck license. When she refused, trou ble followed and Mrs. Harris is said to hare received a beating. Whereupon she swore out a war rant for his arrest on a charge of assault and battery. Now the climax of the story comes and a typical movie one It Is. Just when Judge Brazier Small was ready Friday to hear the case, just when the law was about to reach out Its hand and put Har ris away for assault and battery on the woman who was not his wife Just when this was immi nent, the couple appeared. In their hands they bore a li cense to wed. They asked the judge to perform the ceremony. He did. Home went the couple, assault and batetry forgotten, ano nymous letters a thing of history. Curtain. RAPE IS MIGHTY Rape, one of the cheapest and quickest growing ot the tempor ary forage crops, is especially well suited to mild, moist cli mates and deep rich mellow soils, says the Oregon Agricultural col lege experiment station. Because ot its relatively shallow rooting system, rape does not do well under eastern Orgeon dry-farm conditions, but Is grown to some extent in the Irrigated and sub irrigated areas. It is grown ex tensively in western Oregon, par ticularly in the Willamette valley. In food value it is similar to cab bage and kale. Mehama Road to Be Worked Upon Culver Declares Two miles of grading on the country road leading out of Me hama will be done this summer by the county crew according to Roadmaster W. J. Culver.

Prepared Pdnt Budget Director to Make Survey of All Property Owned by Oregon State A thorough survey of all state properties la to be made by Sam A. Koser, state budget director, at the request of Governor Patter son. , There are approximately ISO separate state properties located at 102 different plaees or points throughout the state. These prop erties consist of the state institu tions tor the care of the Tarlous wards and delinquents, institu tions of higher learning, com-; mercial fish hatcheries, trout hatcheries, . game farms, experi ment stations, stats armories, and the varKus shops and maintenance headquarters of the state highway department. It is the purpose ot Governor Patterson personally to keep in touch with the operations of all of the stat activities, and to use the services ot the state budget direct-, or wherever possible in making addlional observations andjtcqulr Ing data with respect to each of them. Data gathered by the gov ernor tand budget director will be condensed and be made available to the legislature. The properties involve an outlay in buildings and equipment ot nearly 20,000,000, . exclusive of what the state already has invest ed in its highways, which at this time amounts to more than $100, 000,000. "It is quite surprising to note the limited number of residents of the state who have a full concep tion ot the extent of the property and equipment necessary in con ducting the various governmental operations," Bald Mr. Koser. ''When the extent of the present outlays of the state are brought to their attention, they are great ly surprised. Oregon is growing rapidly, and consequently its de mands In order to keep pace witB the progress of the times are also large. It is, of course, possible through co-ordination and co operation to effect some econom tie hill near Mehama leading to the road which runs up the Little North Fori of the Santiam. It is planned that this pitch shall be cut down and the road widened. This new stretch leads Into some fine fishing and hunting country. Y. M. C. A.

In addition the state maintains some 12 armories In different cities and towns, oper ates seven experiment stations in connection with the Oregon 'Agri cultural college, three games farms, and some 45 to 50 hatch eries and egg taking stations for the propagation of commercial and game fish in the state. These latter are in the nature of the de velopment of our resources and add much to the annual output of the commonwealth.
