12 years. The selection of a dep

Mr. Johnson valuable experience

familiar with both of the five-year
programs of road construction in
Marion county, one of which was
begun this spring.
No changes in the personnel of

HOOVER PROPOSES
Letter Read at Conference
of Public Land States
in Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 2 6.
(AP) Drastic changes in the re
lations between the federal and
state governments in respect to
the public lands and reclamation
service were suggested by Presi
dent Hoover in a letter to Joseph
M. Dixon, assistant secretary of
the interior, which was read here
today by that official at a meeting
of the governors of the public
land states.
The president disclosed that he
proposes to appoint a commission
of nine or ten members, at least
five of which will be citizens of
the public land states, to study
the policies now being puisued
and the changes in existing laws
which he might recommend to
congress. His idea is to bring
about a greater measure of con
trol by the state governments
themselves.
More Constrmtive
Policies re Desired
"Generally I may state." the
chief executive wrote, "that It is
my desire to work out more con
structive policies for conservation
in our grazing lands, our water
storage and our mineral resources
at the same time check the growth
of federal bureaucracy, reduce
federal interference in affairs of
essentially local interest and there
by increase the opportunity of t:tf.
states to govern themseives, and
in all obtain better government'
Tentative suggestions put for
ward by Mr. Hoover for the con
sideration of the commission, the
members of which from the public
land states would be taken from
list3 to be supplied by the state
governors, may be summarized as
follows:
Surface Rights to he
Transferred to Schools
Tiiat the surface rights of the
remaining unappropriated, unde

certain details for the protection
of homesteaders and the smaller

SALT LAKE CITY. Aug. 26.
(AP) Opening the national ram
sale here today, Frank J. Hagen
rath. president of the National
Wool Growers' association, pre
dicted a bright future for the
sheep industry. He said approxi
mately 2.500 rams from the best
herds in the country were on sale.
Two Rambouillet rams owned
by John K. Madsen of Mount
Pleasant, Utah, sold for $1,300
and $1,525 respectively, the high
est price of the day. The first was
i bought by the Ephriara (Utah)
Ram association and the other by
Galbraith Brothers, of Monte Vis
ta. Colo.
Average sale prices today were
said to be higher than last year.
Bidding was spirited under direc
tion of Col. Arthur W. Thompson
of Lincoln, Neb.
cellent Indication of the progres
sive educational mind of citizens
of these districts, the county su
perintendent says. Superintendent
Fulkerson expressed a hope that
the sending of pupils to other dis
tricts would prove a successful
step, in which event it is probable
other districts will follow suit.
These changes are all In grade
schools, and accordingly have
nothing to do with the new high
school transportation movement.
In all the districts, the movement
has come from within the district
and has been started by the resi
dents who are looking to the
greatest interests o f the school
child, the superintendent pointed
out. With discarding of the small
er districts, It is possible for bet
ter school facilities and better
courses to be offered the children.

Annual Marion County Event
Will Take Place Last
Day of State Fair
The annual heralds of health
parade for Marion county school
children outside of Salem, orig
inally schdeuled for Monday. Sep
tember 23, the first day of the
state fair, will be held Saturday.
September 28, the last day of
the fair, Mary L. Fulkerson,
county school superintendent, an
nounced Monday following confer
ence ith Mrs. Ella Schultz Wil
son, secretary of the fair.
The change in date is made be
cause Saturday has been designat
ed by the fair management as
Children's Day. When the health
event was first planned, neither
the fair board or the county su
perintendent knew that Saturday
would be a special Children's Day.
Previously, all school children
have been admitted free of charge
the first day of the fair and of
course it was supposed that would
be the logical day to hold the
health parade. This is the first
time the heralds of health will
appear in parade at the county
fair, and is the third annual event
of these healthy school children
in this county. Salem held its
own observance last May Day.
Marion county school children
who were awarded last year the
heralds of health button for main
taining a health program, for
school work above the average
and for a good school deportment
and effort throughout the year,
are all entitled to march in the
parade, which will be but one
feature of the program being out
lined for Children's Day. The
parade will be about 11 o'clock.
Previous to the close of school, a
number of the schools worked up
parade entries. Most of the
schools in the county will be open
by that time.

Transportation Committee
Decides Against Any
Further Action
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2
(AP) Although admitting that
the crop marketing situation in
the northwest remains serious, the
joint grain transportation com
mittee of the northwest shipper's
advisory board today decided no
further action would be necessary
to limit grain shipments.
An embargo on oats, rye, barley
shipments to terminal markets in
this territory, established last
Friday, will be allowed to con
tinue without change other than
permitting barley shipments to
the head of the lakes. The em
bargo is scheduled to expire next
Saturday night.
Executive of the majority of
railroads serving the northwest
agreed that daily loadings of
grain on their lines had declined
substantially since the embargo
took effect. They regarded this
as reasons for belief that the con
gestion in terminal warehouses is
not likely to become worse.
More than 11,000 cars, it was
said, are in transit to Minneapo

in terminals awaiting to be un.
loaded at elevators which already
