Press CUBA, Florida and the gulf coast looked with uneasiness to ward the southeast tonight as an mlnous silence followed uncon firmed reports of devastation in Santo Domingo by a tropical hur ricane. Communication with the city teased shortly after 3:30 p. m. when a report was received in Porto Rico that a wind of 150 miles or more was lifting the roofi from houses and that all communications and power lines were rapidly going down. About this time communication by way of all American cables ceased, lending color to the report. Uneasiness Increased as reports through the day indicated a wind f tremendous velocity. The last radio message received by Pan American airways in Miami from Its station in Santo Domingo said the wind was blowing 136 miles an boor and that the barometer had dropped .33 in 42 minutes. Richard W. Gray, government meteorologist in Miami, said he recalled but two automatically recorded wind velocities in excess of ISC miles per hour. One was In the Miami hurricane of 1926 when the wind blew 138 miles an hoar and another of 150 miles an hour in Porto Rico in 1928. O O Bits For Breakfast o (Continued from Page 4) 183J. The reader knows Father Blanchet married Tourpin and the Dorion woman, and baptized and legitimated their children. In that same year General Wil liam Clark died at St. Louis. Hunt, who had become nostmas- ter of that city, survived Clark four years. For many years, Clark had been U. S. Indian agent tor all the west, with headquar ters at St. Louis. t Little Is known of Paul Dorion the little fellow with the snake like eyes and mouth extending from ear to ear, in the winter camp of 1814 In the Blue moun tains.

Dorion and Marie Iowa." Little Ss known of this three-quarter breed eldest son of Madame Dor Ion. On Nor. 29, 1847. the Whitman massacre was perpetrat ed; 14 whites lost their lives. Ta mahas, Cayuse Indian, was active ta fermenting the trouble and ex ecuting the savage plans; Bap tiste Dorion was one of his aides. He was the one accused of setting tire to the grist mill at the mis sion some time before the mas sacre. He was the one who ad vised the Indians to not do some work required by (the mission aries.

Fire of the Indians were convicted and hang ed; among them the Cayuse Ta mahas. Joe Meek, then U. S. marshal, did the hanging. He was glad to perform th task, for his little halfbreed daughter was n of the victims of the mas . aaere. John Tourpin was a mem ber ot some of the early day mil itia companies. He was probably a captain at the time of the In dian troubles In southern Oregon , b w One of Bancroft's writers found that the Tourpin (Dorion) wo man was lMng In the Willamette -waller as late as 1850.

Emmons Says on Return From Trip An encouraging report concern ing drought conditions In Iowa was bronght back to Salem this week when Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Emmons returned from an ex tensive trip throughout the mid dlewest. "While I found Iowa had suf fered from severely high tempera tures ranging from 95 to 115 de grees, I do not believe crops will be materially affected," Emmons reported. He said he had covered 20.000 to 30,000 acres driving through seven counties and had found that the rich, black soil of Iowa was keeping the crops in quite good shape despite the extreme heat. "On my own quarter-section of land near Shelby, Iowa, we will harvest 35 to 45 bushels of corn to the acre and nearby fields will do even better' said Emmons yesterday. He said that the heat had caus ed much inconvenience, however, with many communities running short of water for drinking par poses. Many farmers and many small towns had to dig new wells to take care of water shortage and use of water for lawns and swimming purposes was great ly curtailed. Ptomaine Causes Serious mnesa Emmons went east by way ot North Dakota stopped at Heaton. where he has a half-section of land and also at Carrington. He was delighted to return to Ore gon. "The longer one stays here the greater becomes one's love for this country," said Emmons. "You appreciate the fine climate, the friendly people, the possibilities of the country." On his trip east Mr. Emmons suffered an attack of ptomaine poisoning and was very ill for sev eral weeks. He has completely recovered and is now back at his office work in this city. Approximately 17.000 tourists, arrive in Chicago every summer day, according , to an estimate made by traffic managers of va rious transportation lines. HISTORIC VII SDR U As the result of numerous ap peals sent to the war depart ment, the state ot Oregon is to retain a historic 75-millimeter cannon, which was In possession f Battery A., field artillery, and saw service In St. Michel and the Argonne during the World war. Adjutant General White said the cannon was known to every man attached to Battery A. At the dose of the World war, the cannon was assigned to the state of Oregon, and has since been stationed In Portland. A few weeks ago, when the gov ernment ordered Oregon's heavy equipment replaced by lighter guns, an order was received to ship the historic old cannon to Washington. Gunners protested to Adjutant-General White, who ap pealed to Washington for per mission to retain the cannon. This permission was granted in a telegram received from the war department Thursday. The cannon bears the number 14033. Rudy Vallee to Put up Fight in Heart Balm Suit NEW YORK. Sept. 4.
