Prominent British Earl and
Figure in Political Life 1
CaHed Beyond
WOKING, Surrey, England.
March 19. (AP) Lord Balfour
died today in a room of his broth
er's house, looking out to the
peaceful English countryside- he
bo much loved. He was a former
prime minister of Great Britain
and one of the last ministers of
Queen Victoria's regis. 4 . .
His last act was characteristic
of his whole life. Sending for bis I
man-servant, James Coltman, who
had been in his service for 29
years. Lord Balfour took him by
the hand and said:
"Good-bye. James. Thank you
very much for all you have done
for me."
Today all the chief public fig
ures of England, headed by King
George, united to. pay tribute to
'the man who in the rough and
tumble of political life anqnone
was a more dougbty, fighter than
he never lost hla perfect cour
tesy or that philosophic calm re
flected in his numerous speeches
and writings.
The house of commons ad
journed for the day out of respect
to his memory, but perhaps the
tributes which the dead statesman
himself wonld have preferred
most have come from the man and
the' woman in the street.
"He, was a gentleman," is the
phrase which was on tens of thou
sands of lips today. The Briton
knows no higher praise.
One man felt particularly sad
at hearing of Lord Balfour's
death. He is Dr. Chaim Weiz
xnann, world Zionist president,
who wept as he began speaking
at a session of the Zionist council.
The Zionists long have revered
Lord Balfour, because of one of
his noteworthy pronouncements
was the famous Balfour declara
tion, which said that Great Brit
ain viewed with favor the estab
lishment of a national home for
Jews in Palestine.
Lord Balfour was 82 years old.
He was created an earl and Vis
count Traprain after the Wash
ington naval conference in 1921,
and will be succeeded by his
brother Gerald, in whose house he
died.
The funeral will be held at Lord
Balfour's Scottish bom at Whit
tingeharame. MRS. JASON LEE IS

OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
March 19. Although she was in
Oregon only a year, Mrs. Jason
Lee, wife of the pioneer. Oregon
Ian who helped in the develop
ment of Salem and Willamette
university, crowded more out
standing events into her life in
this short time than any other
woman in the state, asserted Dr.
John B. Horner, professor of his
tory and director of historical re
search at Oregon State college, in
a radio speech over KOAC today
while continuing his series on
"Heroines of the Oregon Coun
try." Coming to Oregon from Boston
In June. 1837, she was married to
Jason Lee, leader of the first Pro
testant missionary band west of
the Rocky mountains, July 10, was
the first white woman to become a
mother in Oregon and hence was
the mother of the first white
child born in the state.
"She possessed fine natural en
dowments, was cultivated in mind
and heart, brought up in polite
society, according to Dr. John
Parsons, and her thoughts winged
easily to poetry." Dr. Horner
stated. "Wlth,these gifts she was
rapidly wooed' and won as the
bride of Jason Lee. She was the
first white woman married in
Oregon."
"Although she lived but one
year in the Pacific northwest, the
many thrilling services of her he
roic life are still perpetuated
through her undying influence
and tender memories," Dr. Hor
ner concluded.
Names of Hazel McElroy and
Ivan Osterman, both seniors, will
be engraved on the Dr. Henry E.
Morris silver trophy because these
two have been judged by their
teachers to be outstanding stu
dents in the commercial depart
ment at the senior high school.
Ordinarily this honor Is bestowed
upon one student, but the Judges
held the attainments of both stu
dents so high that instead of de
claring between them they called
It a tie. The honor students were
announced at the pep assembly
held at the school yesterday noon,
and both were introduced.
Three points are considered in
selecting the student to whom the
honor shall go: first, loyalty to
school, to principal and to pur
pose; second, initiative; and third,
scholarship. The cup was given
by Dr. Morris of this city three
years ago. and already bears the
names of Melvin Millett of the
class of 1928 and Velma Ross of
the class of 1929.
. Announcement of the winners
of this award was made early this
year in order that It might be in
cluded In the stnddnt yearbook.
Pictures Of the two students will
be taken and framed, along with
the two former winners, and hung
at the school. '

11,000 Farm Samples Sent
' Out for Obtaining Full
Information
The local census office, serv
ing the four counties of Marion.
Polk. Yamhill and Tillamook, is
now engaged in sending oat 11,00
sample farm schedules, attempt
ing to get one into the hands of
each farm operator In the dis
trict. This Is being dene largely
with the help of the postmasters
of the offices having rural routes.
There are f rural routes In the
four counties.
In Marlon, Polk and Yamhill
there Is accompanying each sam
ple farm schedule a special fruit
and nut schedule. There are over
8,000 of these, there being sup
posed to be about that number
of farms in these three counties
that have some fruit trees. The
County of Tillamook Is not includ
ed hi those in the United States
in which the special fruit sched
ules will be used.
The sample schedules are being
placed in the hands of farm own
ers and operators In order that
they may get an idea as to what
questions they will be obliged to
answer when called upon by the
enumerators who will be on their
rounds, beginning April 2.
This is a new departure. Such
general sampling has never been
done in taking the census before,
nor has there ever been uch an
attempt at getting a complete
count of the fruit and nut trees
in the sections where fruit and
nut growing is a major industry.
There is a supply of these sam
ple schedules still at the census
office, in the Salem postoffiee
building, to be handed or mailed
ont on the request of any farmer.

the better cigarette
THE SINGLE IDEA of superlative quality was the inspiration for
Camel Cigarettes.
From the time when the first Camel Cigarette was made that one
Idea has set Camel apart.
A pocy of better tobaccos, combined in an incomparable blend,
manufactured with the most exacting care all to assure the utmost
pleasure in smoking.
That is the ideal and the practice back of every package of
Camel Cigarettes.
It has made Camel the most popular cigarette ever known. More
millions have chosen Camels for smoking pleasure than ever accorded
their patronage to any other cigarette.

The las test move la Salem's
milk "war" oceured this week
when Frank Clark, manager of
the county poor farm, was In
formed by Curley's dairy that af
ter April l milk from his farm
could not be accepted because It
was too rich. Refusal to buy
milk because It Is too rich Is a
new objection to local producers
who seem inclined to believe that
Clark's activities in the local pro
ducers organisation had some
thing to do with the order.
Clark reported that he had ar
ranged to sell his milk to Salem
Sanitary Milk company after
April l.
Curly has been paying Clark
$2.00 per hundred for milk de
livered in Salem on a basis of 4
per cent milk. The milk from
the Clark dairy tested 8.4 at
phone last night that he was
planning to be in Salem today to
visit his old crowd at the county
court house and also to make the
rounds of the state house to say
hello, to his friends there.

times during- the winter but the
February average was 1.2.
Efforts to gt a statement from
the Curly manager on Wednesday
were unsuccessful.
When Questioned by a states
man representative, Curly Dairy
manager. Hans Hofstetter. said.
"The richer the milk la the less
profitable it Is for us to handle."
Further questioning revealed that
the trouble between Clark and
Curly dates back nearly three
years, when Clark quit selling
milk to the dairy at one time
when milk was scarce. Since
Clark was not under contract to
deliver milk there was no reason
why he should not quit If he
chose.
According to Hofstetter. Clark
has been irregular as to the quan
tity of milk delivered and has
"done too much complaining
about the price paid." Because
of this he was given 20 days no
tice that they would no longer
buy his milk "because It was too
rich."
