Mayor of Lynn, Uassachu

Senator
WASHINGTON, Sept. S. (AP)
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mas-,
saehusetts, announced today that
, he had transmitted to the depart
j meat of the interior, with a re
Quest that, they be investigated,
charges made by Mayor Ralph S.
Bauer of Lynn, Massachusetts,
that national parks of western
United States are mismanaged and
are not maintained on a parity
with the Canadian National Rocky
mountain park.
Mayor Bauer said that he had
visited "with a mind free and
.open" the Rocky mountain; Estes.
Yellowstone, and Hood National
parks In this country in addition
- to the" Canadian reservation and
found, that the roads (n Canada
wrrfl better maintained, while
"the nolo resenratlon seemed to tfa
run for the people to whom it be
longs, rather than for the conces
sioners In an effort to Meed the
. people of the last dollar possible."
Yellowstone Park Rna
,A For Private Interests
He asserted that Yellowstone
park Is not operated for the cit-
lzenn Of the United States, "but is
operated entirely, as far as I could
see, tor the concessioners who are
making millions of dollars, cap
italizing the attraction that the
almighty has placed there for the
benefit of our people, for a per-
- sons! profit-to themselves.
Senator Walsh Informed Horace
M. Albright, director of the Na
tional park service, that he be
lieved an Investigation into the
charges should be made and indi-
cated that he might take the mat
ter up In the senate.
I the first place Mayor Bauer
said In this letter to Senator
Walsh, the roads In American
parks are narrow and not nearly
as substantially constructed as
those In the Canadian National
parks. He added that only a very
few short stretches hare been oil
ed, with miles and miles afford
ing, nothing but dust clouds with
the passing of every group of mo
tor cars.
Concessions Controlled
By Two Companies
"Yellowstone prk hotel and
transportation company really
.control all the concessions al
though this is not supposed to
he the mayor continued.
. He asserted that the other con
cessions selling supplies to camp
ers, erecting camps and otherwise
operating in the park were sup
posed to be individual concerns,
"but the president of the Yellow
. stone Park Hotel company orders
, his general auditor to check over
the books of these concerns every
spring, so I take It from that there
must be a financial tie up clear
down' the line." ,
He charged also that although
$3 motor car admission to Yel
lowstone park Is assessed each
car. for a road fund, only slight
. - . evidence of such work - was seen
bynl ajnA that the rangers and
other government employes in the
park operate in accordance with
the wishes of the different hotel
and concession managers.

-The plight of Ray Burraker, the
ragged, uneducated, .mountain
urchin, who called upon the pres
ident of the United States nnaa
nonnced and made him the present
of a possum, has morel Herbert
Hoover to arrange for thearca
Uoa of this youngster and his Il
literate chums.
Ever slaco Ray's visit Mr. Hoo
ver has been impressed with the
lack of advantages for the children
in the section of the Bine Ridge
mountains surrounding his fishing
camp on the headwaters of the
Rapidan river, and today It be
came knows that he definitely bad
decided to take steps to improve
their conditions.
The details of what is 'to bo
done were worked out at a con
ference with Ray's father, known
throughout the mountain region
as -Pa" Burraker. who called at
the camp Sunday at Che president's

Extended Visit
For some time the two, one the
chief executive of a mighty na
tion, and the other n rustic moun
taineer who has eked but a liv
ing by hunting and fishing, sat
beneath the trees In front of the
camp and 'talked and talked.
The background 'was the rag
ged slopes of tit Blue Ridge; the
gurgle of the river, at this point
little more than a small stream; a
tew tents; and the open sly.
At a result t their conversa
tion, the president decided per
sonally to head a committee to
raise funds to build a little school
house. Burraker agreed to see his
neighbors and get them to join
with him In requesting Virginia
state authorities to supply a school
teacher.
None of Neighboring;
Children Go to School
There are five families living
In the vicinity of the fishing camp
with about a score of children of
school age., Of these five, includ
ing Ray. are of the Burraker fam
ily. None ever has been to school,
nor has fireside education ever
taught any of them about the
three "R's" of the world beyond
their mountain hemes.
Burraker told Mr. Hoover he
would form a local committee of
one member of each household at
once and that this group would
ask the state for a teacher. Mr.
Hoover in turn promised to act as
chairman of a national committee
to raise funds for the school house.
About $1,200 Is expected to pro
vide all that will be needed at the
start After agreeing upon these
details the conference adjourned.
The task of educating the moun
tain youngsters, however, is look
ed upon by those who have visit
ed the mountain region as pre
senting many difficulties.

State Fair
Visitors at the Oregon State
Fair this year. Sept 22 to St, wiU
have a great surprise in store for
them. If they hellere that the
younger generation Is no longer
interested in . agriculture. Stock
raising and home-mating. For,
more than over before, there wiU
be evidence to the contrary, and
a great deal of that evidence will
be right from Marion county.
Ever since the gates closed on
last year's fair, the boys and sir Is
of the 4-H club work have been
planning for the bis showing
which is to be made this year, ac
cording to W. W. Pox, county
school supervisor. If enthus
iasm and interest count for any
thing, exhibits this year will be
the biggest and. best since these
youthful farmers and home-makers
began coming to the fair with
their talents and products. The 80
clubs in Marion county include
Sewing, which leads the list in
point of numbers, cookery, corn,
poultry,- sheep, calf, pig, pigeon
and rabbit
Old Agricnltoral
Building Utilized
A portion of the old agricultur
al building which is being torn
down has been salvaged and re
modeled for use In 4-H exhibi
tions at the fair, according to Mrs.
Ella S. Wilson, secretary of the
fair board. This will provide
roomy accommodations for the en
tries to be displayed where all may
use them.
will start flowing to the industries
and farm houses of the surround
ing region.
Four of the largest hydraulic
turbines and generators in the
world for the project are being
constructed in America. The total
cost of the project Including an
lmpressiveness assemblage o f
American technical and engineer
ing talent is expected to exceed
1100,000.000.
Several millions will be spent
for equipment from the United
Btatea consisting of cranes, pneu
matic drills, flat cars, steam shov
els, pile drivers and derricks.
Colonel Cooper's first engineer
ing project was a bridge across a
creek on his father's farm near
Sheldon, Minn. He ran away from
home and worked for a half doz
en years on various bridge build-
ng enterprises. That was years
before the age of electricity, when
water power was good for turning
mill wheels but little else.
Niagara Falls, the Tennessee at
Muscle Shoals, the ponderous Mis
sissippi, the Nile at Assuan and
the Susquehanna are some of the
moving waters that Colonel Coop
er and his engineering staff have
tamed and harnessed so that hu
man beings might have more time
to play.
After spending the summer at
Columbia university. New York
City, William W. Fox, rural
school supervisor, was back at
work In the office of the county
school superintendent Tuesday.
Fox toot: advanced instruction In
public health education while at
Columbia. He arrived in Salem
late Saturday after spending
some time visiting with . friends
and relatives on his way west
Fox's first objective this fall
will be to get boys and girls' club
work under way. in the county.
There are 19 of these groups with

The beautiful concrete dormi
tory will also be la use this year
for the boys and girls chosen from
all ever the county to attend the
fair as guests of the fair board.
Saturday, Sept 18, has been dele
gated as "Children's day, when
school children from all over Ore
gon will coma to Salem at special
rates to see the fair, and at this
time special 4-H club demonstra
tions and parades of prise animals
111 bo put on.
Marion Contestants
Have Fine Sheep
The Marlon county delegation
will bo particularly strong in the
sheep division, Mr. Fox believes,
as some of the members have be
longed tor as long as six or seven
years, and have become thorough
specialists. They know their sheep.
The Salem club, the old Waldo
Hills Shropshire club, famous
throughout the state may furnish
the Judging team either for the
state fair or tor the Pacific Inter
national Livestock show, as it did
for the latter last year.
Among the members are Don
ald and Wallace Doerfter, sons of
Frank Doerfler, and Donald Shel
ton, of Marlon. The latter will
also exhibit goats and poultry.
The boys, however, will not take
oft all the honors, as there are
several girls who plan to bring
prise-winning' exhibits to the fair.
Hilda Bahnsen, Salem, and Helen
May Thompson, McClay, are of
this number.
Sheep dns Cains
Members Steadily
Not only the old timers but the
newcomers as wen help to furnish
the sheep club with its strength,
declared Mr. Fox. The Silverton
club. Is showing' a great deal of in
terest and includes such members
aa Kenneth and Frederick. Dahl,
both second rear members, and
Harland and Howard Lowe. How
ard was high scorer at the Paclf
io International for two years in
succession and is therefore Inelig
ible tor competition thij year. He
was also a member of the cham
pionship judging team. Henry
Torvend is the leader of the Sil
verton club.
There are also a number of
demonstration teams being plan
ned, with the Mt Angel clubs
showing the most promising pros
pects. Wood burn made a large en
rollment last year and will place
many exhibits this year, especially
In the field of home economics.
The rabbit clubs of Woodburn and
Anmsrllle are very active.
A new club In the Howell Prai
rie district, led by George CHne,
called the North Howell Corn club
is also very strong. Although
young, Cline is Its only experien
ced member, the results are al
ready exceptional, and Jt Is ex
pected that this elub will bring
back the honors which Marlon
county formerly won in this field.
Outstanding elubs and members
from all over thd county will be
asked to exhibit at the state fair.
Mr. Fox said, and an unusual
showing is expected.

Misfortune Again Overtakes
Continental Endurance -,
Flight Project
SALT LAKE CITY. Sept
(AP) HI fortune that had de
feated two former attempts at
non-stop endurance records befell
the Boeing plana Shuttle . today
and ended the third attempt on a
mountain a few miles, west of this
city. .
Captain Ira Eaker and his co
pilot. Lieutenant Bernard Thomp
son, were forced to land on the
mountain side this forenoon when
a stoppage in their gas feed Hoe
killed their engine at an elevation
of 1.000 feet Neither flier was
Injured and they walked to the
road and were brought back' to
Salt Lake City by a passing
motorist'
The landing gear and wings of
the plane were damaged and Boe
ing employes here this evening ex
pressed the oplnlonvthat It would
have to be dismantled af the
scene and sent to the factory at
Seattle for overhauling.
Probably two days will be re
quired to get It oft the valley
where it crashed, they estimated.
The shuttle was held at Elko,
Nev., all last night on its return
trip to New York after reports
had been received et bad weather
east of that point It flew above
the airport there until morning
and then proceeded eastward,
dodging a rainstorm west of Salt
Lake City. Then, flying In sun-
shins, the fuel flow stopped and
brought the plane down.
There was no chance for a safe
landing. Captain Eaker said, after
his return here, as the mountain
ous country, afforded no level
space to bring the plane down.
Captain Saker was enthusiastic
in his praise of the plane and its
engine which he said "never
missed a beat" tor more than 100
hours of flying.

of Arabs and Jews.
Tiberias in upper Galilee was
the only source of anxiety for

that district had failed after re

caused a few casualties.
The Jewish Telegraphic agency
correspondent reported that 14
Arabs were killed by troops when
they attacked Yesod Ha'MaUah
and two others were Sail to have
been similarly killed near the col

: The same source reported 201
Arabs were arrested at Lifts and
120 at Hebron' on suspicion of
having participated in the riots.
Now that feeling dees not run
quite so high, . stories of inter

tection given tour Jewish .work

Arab comrades from other Mos
