M'GILCIST DIES
George McGUchrist, son of Mr.
and Mrs. William McGllchriHt. Sr.,
prominent Marlon county resi
dents, died at a local hospital Mon
day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock,
about an hour after an emergency
operation had been performed to

health Wednesday afternoon and
became suddenly ill Thursday

HIGH STREET SPAN
One more of the major projects
of Salem's extensive bridge pro
gram will be ready for perman
ent use within a few weeks, it was
indicated Monday when Walter
Law, street commissioner reported
that the paving crew will be ready
Wednesday to begin work on the
east half of the High street fill.
Although only the east half will
be paved this year, that section is
27 feet wide, which will te suffi
cient to handle ordinary traffic for
the time being. The west half will
not be paved until next spring, as
the fill on that side will require
additional time to settle.
After the paving is laid, it will
have to set the usual length of
time, so that opening of the street
is not yet imminent. The plank
base for pavement between the
Oregon Electric tracks has already
been laid, and the fine grading
done on the remainder of the
street.
Preliminary engineering work
for the North Commercial street
bridge over North Mill creek is be
ing done by City Engineer Hugh
Rogers and his staff, but the actu
al plans have not yet ' -en started.
Before this bridge is built, right
of way to permit of a full width
bridge will have to be obtained.
The city already owns two strips
of land on the east side, but a
small section of the lot occupied by
the old cider plant will probably
have to be purchased, and possibly
a strip on the west side. Nearly
aM of this property, however, lies
in the swale, several feet below
street level, and little difficulty is
anticipated, in obtaining right, of
way.
FIRE DEPARTMENT FAST
Within three minutes of the
time that Fred Magnus reported
fire In the Pauline Josse home at
332 North Church street, the fire
department was playing water on
the flames in the attic, after hav
ing spread a canvas to prevent
damage to the lower floors. Only
a small portion of the roof of the
house was damaged. Magnus In
cidentally held insurance on the
bouse, and had a crew replacing
the damaged portion early Monday
morning.
PORTLAND GIRL INJURED
Miss Tel Kikume, of Portland,
suffered Injuries to her head when
cars driven by B. H. Kikume, also
of Portland, and J. E. Fitzgerald,
of Salem, collided at 17th and
Market streets Sunday afternoon,
Mr. Kikume reported to the police
station. Fitzgerald reported that
Kikume, who was driving east on
Madison street, swung north into
Kth street, taking the right-of-way
from Fitzsgerald and hitting
the Fitzgerald car on the left front
fender.

Mt. Angel Cooperative Plant
Successful Says Cham
ber Speaker
Encouraging example of the re
sults which may be obtained
through organizing the dajry in
dustry Is being set by the Mt. An
gel Cooperative creamery, it was
reported at Monday's luncheon of
the Salem chamber of commerce,
discussion at which was devoted
to this topic, by Manager Wettwer
of the creamery.
Receipts of thfs creamery now
amount to about $1000 daily, or
close to half a million dollars a
year, he stated. Through careful
grading, the butter produced
scores high, so that this creamery
finds a ready market outside the
state and. ships out more than half
of its product. Utilization of by
products, started within the last
year, has added 20 per cent to the
creamery's income.
Encouraging more farmers to
build up dairy herds meets with
obstacles here, said Mr. Wittwer,
for the very reason that the land
is so productive. Many of the
other states which have developed
dairying so highly, have been
forced to it as the only paying
Industry. Many farmers in this
county have reduced their dairy
herds in order to specialize in
flax or hop production.
Oregon, lacking organization of
this Industry except in a few sec
tions, is far behind other states,
notably Idaho and Wisconsin, in
dairying, said W. O. Ide, manager
of the state chamber of commerce,
in the principal address at the
luncheon.
Wisconsin has nearly two mil
lion cows, an average of ten to
each farm, and each cow produces
$113 on the average annually,
said Mr. Ide. Dairying supplies
S2 per cent of Wisconsin's farm
income. Oregon has only 218,
000 dairy cows, and the average
production per cow IS much low
er than in Wisconsin, so that the
industry here amounts to only
one-seventh of what it does In
that state.
Marion county has 13,776 cows
producing $60 per cow, which la
higher than the state average.
There are three dairy cows for
each farm. Conditions here are
ideal for dairying, the speaker
declared. He pointed out that
chambers of commerce in many
cities are taking the lead in fos
tering cooperation along this line.
Aside from this one failure to
realize its possibilities, Marion
county is almost Ideal in its di
versified production on the land
and manufacturing industries; it
comes the nearest of any county
in the state to a balanced pro
gram, the speaker said.

At least 50 Salem people should
be enrolled in the course in Mod

by Dean Roy R. Hewitt of Willam

G. Beattie, assistant director, who
was here last night for the open

sion classes. Twenty-nine per.
sons representing 13 occupations
enrolled for Hewitt's class.
Of Hewitt's class Beattie said
further: "If the people of Salem
could realize how practical and at
the same time how comprehensive
this course is, the room would be
crowded each Monday night.

STAHD TELLS STORY
(Continued from Page 1.)
took the stand to deny the state
ment by Pearson that he had "fre
quently expressed the hope that
the conference would not suc
ceed." "Any thinking, experienced
American naval officer favors an
agreement," said Admiral Reeves,
"for a fair, just and equitable lim
itation of navies. I never expressed
the hope that the Geneva naval
limitations conference would fail.
I never entertained such a hope.
"American naval officers in the
event -of war want an equal chance
in battle. They recognize that a
naval limitations agreement is the
only means by-which this equality
can be realized."
For the first time, the commit
tee received today the much talked
about document purporting to be
the Scotland Yards record of
Shearer. It also heard for the first
time the story of the quarrel in
1928 between Shearer and the
ship builders.
Shearer said that then Clinton
L. Bardo, president of the New
York Shipbuilding corporation and
one of his Geneva employers, told
him that Frank B. Kellogg, then
secretary of state, had sent word
to the Bethlehem Shipbuilding of
ficers that unless they god rid of
Shearer the department of justice
would go to court with its $15,
000,000 war claims suit against
the Bethlehem Steel corporation.
Questioned by Chairman Short
ridge, the witness sometimes
would reply almost with a speech.
He mentioned freely the names of
Charles M. Schwab and other men
of prominence as among those he
had been associated with or had
talked with. He said he had dis
cussed with Schwab employment
with the shipbuilders for a mer
chant marine publicity campaign
In November, 1926. The steel mag
nate previously had told the com
mute he did not recall any such
meeting.
Asked about the report that he
was a German spy, Shearer denied
it and produced his life's history.
He referred, however, to one of
the witnesses before the commit
tee as a "British spy" and as a
"British stool piegon." He was un
sparing in his references to the
ship builders whom he charged
with having used him and then
having east him aside.
SCHOOL POSTPONED
The Brier Nob school will be
the last in the county to open the
1929-30 school year, according to
reports so far tiled with the coun
ty superintendent, who has been
notified that this district has post
poned opening school until Mon
day, October 14. Most of the
school students in that district will
be occupied in the prune fields un
til that time.
FRINK FINER f 10
E. J. Frink, of Seattle, was ar
rested and fined $10 for reckless
driving Monday. Traffic Officer
George Edwards reported that
Frink drove around a corner at 35
miles and hour and swung into
parking space, endangering cars
parked on both sides of the space.

Further liquidation developed In
