Mrs. Biirkner Hasn't Heard
Of Julius Meier and
Doesn't Care to
Prohibition and Suffrage
Unknown Problems to
Mt. Angel Recluse
By SIDNEY JACKSON
MT. ANGEL, Oct. 23 The
tumult of the present political
campaign in Oregon., the prohi
bition question, woman suffrage,
and other problems of the day,
do not bother Nellie Biirkner. the
little hermit woman of Butte
creek.
In fact she has never heard
of Julius Meier or Phil Metschan,
and what is more she doesn't
want to. In the seclusion of her
tiny cottage, situated on a little
flat above Butte creek she has liv
ed since 1892. Following the
death of her father, in 1909, she
never set foot off her ranch for
18 years. Neighbors brought her
the few supplies she needed.
Only lately her neighbors, Mr.
and Mrs. Jake Blersack, have per
suaded her to come up and see
them. At first the little hermit
was very hy, but now she comes
" every day, weather permitting,
and listens to the radio. How
ever, she has to go home early,
so has missed the pleasure of
hearing Amos and Andy.

DELAY OPPOSED IN
BRAIN RATES CASE
General Move is Launched
Throughout Northwest
Against Rehearing
PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. 23.
(AP Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and western Montana
grain growers through their at
torney, A. M. Geary, Portland,
are opposing the attempt of the
railroads to obtain reconsidera
tion and further postponement
of grain rate reductions ordered
by the Interstate Commerce com
mission. Geary has prepared a brief for
the grain growers and has sent
it to Washington. The growers,
answering the railroads asser
tion the Mountain-Pacific north
west was favored unduly in the
rate order, contend grain move
ments in this section consists
largely of low priced wheat
transported at less cost than
flour or coarse grain which pre
dominates in other sections; that
movements are over direct
routes with fewer transit stops
and less use of low outbound
proportional rates than in other
sections.
Delay Means Loss
Of Capital, Claim
The brief does not "attempt to
minimize the effect of the pres
ent financial depression on the
railroads" but says that to many
of the growers the depression
means "not merely loss of earn
ings bnt loss of total capital In
vestment.'
Wheat fs being held at ship
ping points and credit has been
extended to growers on the
strength of the commission's or
der, the brief says.
The reduced rates, under the
commission's order, would be
come effective January 1, 1931.
Parties to the brief include va
rlous granges and other farm or-
, ganlxations of the four states.

Cripple Returns After he
Had Begged Food at
Home on Highway
Mrs. Storey Cannon, who
lives on the highway two or three
miles south of town, turned from
the telephone yesterday afternoon
when she heard her dog fussing.
She had been telling a friend
about a queer looking stranger
who had asked for food at her
home that morning.
As she turned, the stranger
himself grabbed her by the arm,
telling her 'I'll learn you to make
fun of a poor cripple like me."
He hit her a glancing blow on
the chin and mouth and struck
her again on the back of the
head, she told Deputy Sheriff
Sheriff Bert Smith who investi
gated at her call.
Her right arm bore bruises se
vere enough to show the imprint
of the man's four fingers. The
man entered the home as she was
using the telephone.
Man Flees Wtien
Neighbor Comes
According to Mrs. Cannon she
screamed, and when a neighbor
woman was heard approaching
the man lost his nerve and fled
down the highway. Deputy Sher
iff Hasklns and Mr. Cannon went
in pursuit of him but did not lo
cate him.
The same man, described as
about 40 years old, wighing
about 160 pounds, about 5 feet
10 inches tall, approached the
Cannon home yesterday morning
and asked for rood. The lower
part of his right eve was dropped
or pulled away from his face, his
left leg was lame and his teeth
were black in front. He wore a
dark suit and a sloppy hat.
A man answering about tne
same description was noticed on
the down town streets the pre

Definite Moves to

By Federal Agency
Overtime for Postal Workers Forbidden so Ex

and Army Engineers Change Policies
By CECIL B. DICKSON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. (AP) The federal govern
ment took concrete steps today to stem the tide of
unemployment as the Hoover cabinet committee set up tp
handle the problem began functioning.
Coincident with a call from Col. Arthur Woods, the re
ief director, asking industry to cooperate, government de
partments announced plans toO-
provide employment to a number
of the 3,500,000 idle Americans.
The postoffice department took
steps to suspend overtime work
to regular employes in order that
substitutes may obtain employ
ment. Orders to this effect will
go forward tomorrow.
Plans of the shipping board to
reduce its domestic force by 500
and its foreign personnel by 250
in its reorganization program
have been abandoned to prevent
an increase in the number of
obless.
Secretary Hurlev moved to
have the army engineers adopt
the "stagger system" of employ
ment on rivers and harbors
work, particularly along the Mis
sissippi river. He also is seeking
cooperation of contractors to aid
in increasing the number of Jobs
on certain projects.
Although Chairman Legge of
the farm board noted that
agency had no means of dispos
ing of the wheat purchased in
stabilization operations to aid
the unemployed, he said in his
response to questions that if con
gress wished to pay for the
wheat, the board would be glad
to turn It over to the Jobless.
