EIGHTIETH YEAR GALE HOWLS 35 Lives Lost; Hundreds of People Injured; In Floods and in Hurricanes Steamer Sinks tnl Elbe Es tuary; 31 d"re;Prench in Terror of Flood LONDON, Nov.; 24 (AP) A gale still howled across Europe tonight and driving rains pelted a region already stricken by floods and hurricanes which had taken at least 35 lives, injured hundreds, made thousands home less and wrought enormous prop erty damage. Thirty-one men were lost when the steamer Louise Leonhardt went down in the Elbe Estuary In Germany. Three were killed as a hurricane swept through Vienna. At least one person drowned as the rivers of France poured over the countryside. In France a desperate populace called it the worst flood since the disastrous one of November, 1910.' In Belgium half a million acres of farm land were under water. In Germany the Rhine and Moselle had driven thousands from their homes. - In Holland the dikes x were grumbling along the river Scheldt. In Austria towns and villages suffered heavily from wind and water. Vessels Scurry to Help Those in Distress off Britain In England or off its coast vessels scurried to the assistance of two Greek steamers driven In shore by the gale, but both ships, the Triton and the Taxiarchis, worked themselves out of dan ' ger under their own power. In Spain the storm was less se vere, but bad weather held the German seaplane, DO-X, at an chor, preventing a flight to Lis bon. Railroads were halted in Ba varia and many other regions be cause trees and telephone- poles were flung across the tracks. Tel egraph wires were down in sev eral places. Crops were ruined and cattle and horses drowned by hundreds. The ninety-mile gale, was bit ter cold and the homeless suffer ed also from lack of food. The Red Cross was in the field early starting its relief campaign. Kmergency Pumps Put to Work to Hold Back Seine Paris put Its emergency pumps to work early as the Seine crept closer to the tops of the flood walls which run the length of the city. Tug boats and barges in the Seine piled one upon another as the torrent swept under and past them. The gale swept through the Loire valley, uprooting trees and unroofing houses, injuring many. In the Lake Constance region, where Switzerland looks across at Germany, the Dornier plant, where the DO-X was built, and the hangar at rriedrichshafen, where the Graf Zeppelin lay, suf fered heavy damage from the wind. In the Harts mountains, the streams became roaring floods. The Eider dike near the Rends burg river burst and flooded the countryside. In Berlin the Relchs wehr was called out to save Lin denwerder Island In the Havel ;from destructjon by the angry torrent. King Albert himself visited some of the flood refugees who had been washed out for the sec ond time in three years, and was told that 80 villages were com pletely inundated.

Economy BUSINESS S 6 Outlook is Best Ever for Boys', Girls' Club Work By GEXEVIVE MORGAN With approximately 750 boys and girls enrolled in 80 4-H boys' and girls' clubs in Marlon coun ty in the last 24 days, or since November 1, when the club year opened, there is strong evidence that the 12 months' work Just started will set a record above the past year, when previous marks were bettered. While all records are not yet In for the year recently ended, about 1200 boys and girls finished their projects a hundred per cent. Indi cating that the children, and lead ers did a splendid piece of work, says W. W. Fox, county club leader. . . Of the dubs already organized for Jhe new year, 33 are. sewing clubs, these having a membership of exactly 2 CO children, practically all of whom are girls. There la one bachelor sewing club. .

Mrs. Iran Bruce, Pack Room They Want no Agent; is Principal Reason Salvos Fired Four Straight Hours as Delegates Oppose Farm-Help Plan; 1053 Sign Peti- titions Opposing "O. S. C." Extension Marion county farmers, fully 125 in number, packed into the circuit court room in the county courthouse Monday to spend four hours firing: a succession of reasons at the county court why a county agent should not be retained here next year. Yesterday's hearing was the second chapter in a book of testimony started last Thursday when virtually as large a crowd told the county court a galaxy of reasons an agent should be employed. Tomorrow morning at 10 a. m.O- , , . the county court will bear rebut- tal from the county agent - pro ponents and then the judge and the commissioners will go j into a huddle with the three budget members, later to be appointed. The decision of the six men will be announced when the new 1931 budget is placed before" the people for their consideration before the county court makes the levy. Antagonism against Oregon State college, marked fervor In keeping down tax levies through reduced budgets and a generally prevalent idea that the county agent plan, was a useless wart on the face .of the body politic, were repeated time and again as more than a score of farmers voiced their disapproval of the plan. Jones Leads Attack and Presents Speakers to Court With W. A. Jones of Macleay as master of ceremonies, the farmers, somewhat like their embattled mates at Concord, fired salvos of shells, oratorical instead of lead, it is true, but bristling with opposition to a proposed tax they deemed un warranted and unjust. Climaxing their objections were more than a dozen petitions circulated in rural districts to which had been affixed the names of 1053 men and women who protested to the court against the retention ot an agent. Proponents of an agent had nothing to say as their first case had been made November 20 and their rebuttal - was no on the slate yesterday. .

Owing to the near approach of the session. Governor Norblad has asked the attorney general for his opinion as to the correct method to be followed. The constitution provided that In case of vacancies in the legis lative assembly the governor should issue writs of election for the filling of the vacancy. At the last election an amendment was adopted which says that in case of vacancies In the legisla ture "such vacancies shall be filled as provided by law". However, the legislature has not met to enact the law which would make this new amendment operative. New law Does not Change Governor's job Moreover the new amendment did not repeal section 17 of ar ticle V which says that the gov- Jrnor shall Issue writs of elec ion in order to fill vacancies In the legislature. So the attorney general has a pretty stew to di gest before he can tell the gov ernor the correct procedure. In deference to the memory of Senator Reynolds who was very highly regarded there was little comment as to a possible succes sor. Frank Settlemeier of Wood burn waa "runner-up" In the primary election, but he comes from, the north end of the county where Sam Brown, the other Marion county senator, comes from, it was further pointed out. No move is expected to be made until it is made clear Just how the vacancy la to be tilled.
