personally conducted tour taking
part in the afternoon only.
This committee from the cham
ber of commerce is offering sub
stantial prizes, to be announced
next week, for the best sugges
tion as a name for the road
known as Skyline Drive. As there
are dozen or so roads in the
state by the same name the com
mittee is desirous- of finding a
suitable name for i this beautiful
drive along the crest of Chehalem
mountain that leads to Bald peak,
a .state park, with an elevation
of 1900 feet, so situated that 19
counties can be seen from its sum
mit, in addition to the beautiful
sight of seven snow-capped moun
tains. The prizes for the best sug
gested nime will be awarded upon
the historical value, local interest
and scenic beauty contained in the
submitted name.
State and local police will pa
trol -the route, and Boy Scouts
will be stationed! at strategic
points over the route to give ad
Tice and answer questions.
The trip is 25 miles in length,
and it is expected that prune,
cherry and other blossoms will be
In their fullest beauty Easter.
This is not intended to mimic
Salem's blossom festival in any
way, having been originally pro
moted by the chamber in arous
ing interest of those not aware

and Willamette valleys in and
around New berg.

To remove certain merchants'
complaints that they are being dis
criminated against in the issuance
of grocery and other requisitions
by relief organizations through
' out the state, the state relief com
mittee has decreed that hereafter
all requisitions shall be made out
"to any approved merchant." Re
lief case workers and relief clients
alike are forbidden to make out
the requisition to individual mer
chants. Receipt of instructions to this
effect was announced here yester
day by Glenn C. Niles. Marion
county relief administrator. Re
cently to forestall complaints he
had ordered that requisitions
should be made out to merchants
chosen by the relief recipients and
warned case workers against show
ing faTor to any one merchant.

DODGE CITY, Kas., April 12
(jT) The wind-swept southwest
looked up through disappearing
dust clouds today, counted crop
losses of more than $30,000,000.
. and took as a cue the words of
a jovial, grimy-faced Kansas
wheat farmer.
"Me leave this country?" said
Arthur Adams, of Ford county.
Kansas, as he looked over fields
blown clean of wheat. He laugh
ed and slapped his .overalls from
which a miniature' dust storm
arose.
"Lordy, no. No dust can drive
me ouL"
" Adams hasn't had a wheat crop
in four years, but looks for rain
next month and, if moisture
comes, expects to have a profitable
corn crop.
"Stick-it-out" farmers predom
inated but some dissenters, num
bering more than 100 families,
already had departed from north
western Oklahoma, Union county.

of the college blew blasts on a

About 1500 students turned

the largest number that can be
adequately cared for by a single
officer. I stated that as to these
591 men, there was a minimum of
supervision. I added this Is by
no means the fault of the parole
officer'.
"I criticized the granting of
pardons by certain of the govern
ors of Oregon, among whom your
name does not appear. My state
ments concerning pardons were
derived from an accurate tabula
tion made by the officials of the
Oregon state penitentiary, giving
the name, number, date of sen
tence and date of pardon of every
person who was pardoned by a
governor of Oregon, for the past
12 years.
"Governor Martin was also fur
nished with an identical state
ment That statement shows that
308 convicts were pardoned from
the penitentiary during the peri
od, of whom 48 have been re
quired to serve time in the peni
tentiary since their pardons. I
stated that 27 men during this pe
riod who had been sentenced to
life imprisonment for murder
were pardoned and that the aver
age time served by them was 9.9
years.
'"I stated that 101 men who
had been sentenced by the courts
to terms of 1 0 years or more each,
received pardons during the pe
riod and that the average time
served by these 101 men was 3.51
years each. I also stated that 94
convicted robbers were pardoned
in 12 years, 18 per cent of whom
have served time since their par
don. First Offenders
Should Be Paroled
"I emphatically urged -the use
of probation and parole, whenever
possible, for first offenders, and
for seven years upon the bench
I have practiced what I preach
in that respect. I strongly urged
that the state must provide an
adequate probation system sim
ilar to the federal one. I should
have expected you to be the most
enthusiastic supporter of that pro
posal. I also urged that we must
'put habitual criminals out of cir
culation and keep them out.'
"I have not replied to you let
ter for the purpose of entering
any personal controversy with
you. My criticisms were not
aimed at, nor did they touch you
or your work, nor did I dream
that you wtuld attempt to fit the
shoe to your own foot. There
were 3 9,3 82 boys, 19 years of
age or younger, whose arrest by
state officers was reported to the
federal division of investigation
during the first nine months of
1934. These boys should not be
sent to the penitentiary to mingle
with hardened criminals, when it
can be avoided."

"Mr. Mulr, my Informant, a

be holder of the key position for
the union, replied, 'No, it won't
be a strike. We just Intend to tie

"I have been instrumental In
heading off several scattered and
small walkouts in the union in
recent weeks, pleading that they
should wait at least until May 6."
Assistance of the national la
bor board has been asked by the
regional labor board which has
done everything in Its power to
prevent the walkout, Hope said.
He added the walkout might be
come serious in view of an assert

The chief a year or so ago was
told by the then Superintendent
George Hug that fire drills were
being conducted in the schools, he
declared. "They've never asked me
to attend a drill that I know of;
it's a itate law to hold them."
"They expect me to fight fires
with two men on the aerial (lad
der truck) to do the work of IS.
I have three men on two pumpers
where I should have anywhere
from five to eight men. The under
writers recommendation would
have doubled the size of the de
partment and one man over; that
was before it was cut down."
Further defending his record,
the chief said "we've bad some
losses but we've confined them to
the buildings where the fires
started."

Warning Against
Selling Beer to
Inebriate Given
Beer dealers who may nave
been selling beer to intoxicated
persons face a "crack down" from
the police committee of the city
council, Chairman Walter Fuhrer
warned yesterday. He said that
reports coming to him of this
practice indicated action was ne
cessary. "For instance, there are two or
three habituals I've noticed who
shouldn't be able to buy beer,"
Fuhrer said. "Before the city lost
its stamp tax on beer and the
state took the taxing over, we
had one officer who made the
roands of these places. Now he is
needed for other duties just as
much as for keeping watch on
beer shops. Bat we'll not tand
for selling beer to anyone who is
intoxicated."
