Strata of Jabilee
Is One Of Came
The kins had just passed tri
' umphantly through the year of
the silver Jubilee celebration and
had spent Christmas with his fam
ily at Sandrlngham House, his fa'
Torite country- home.
The strain of the jubilee's af
fairs and the death early in De
cember of his sister. Princess Vic
toria, hastened the end.
.An official - notice issued late
- tonight in London at 10 Downing
street, seat of the government,
said:.
"In pursuance of the succes
sion to the crown act, 1707, par
liament must Immediately meet
on the demise of the crown.
"Arrangements accord ingly
hare been made for the house of
lords and the house of commons
to meet Tuesday, the 21st of Jan
nary, at p. m."
George died almost at the same
. hour as his father, King Edward
VII, whose death in 1910 occur
red at a quarter hour before mid
night. Almost Exactly S5
Tears Since Victoria
His death -also occurred 35
years almost to tbe day after that
of Queen Victoria, his grandmo
ther. She died January 22, 1901.
- George V ascended the British
throne as "the sailor king"; he
left it as "thei democratic king."
Unassuming to the point of shy
ness, devout and faithful in reli
gion, hard-working, devoted to his
children and home life, and with
a dignity relieved by the twinkle
In his eyes, he typified the quali
ties which his subjects held high-
est.
He sought a position close to
the hearts of his people in a kind
ly and quiet way; unlike most
, men, he found proof of his
achievement in his own lifetime.
This came strongest in the deep
sympathy that was world - wide
during his serious illnesses of
1928 and 1929. Then huge crowds
stood nightly outside Buckingham
Palace and messages and prayers
came from remote quarters of the
globe.
, "It. was an encouragement be
yond description," he said after
his first illness, "to feel that my
constant and earnest desire has
been' granted tbe desire to gain
tbe confidence and affection of
my people."
Trained First
As Sailor
Unlike many British kings,
George V did not begin training
in childhood for occupancy of the
throne. He was the second son of
Edward VTI-aad was 2t years old
when he became heir to the crown
on the death of his elder brother,
Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence.
Meanwhile, George had em
barked upon a naval career which
kept him almost constantly at sea
from the tlmehe was 12 and
which had carried him from cadet
ship to the rank of commander
by the time of his brothers' death.
Thereafter his duties as heir ap
parent precluded exclusive devo
tion to the navy though, within
.two years after bis father became
King Edward VII, successive pro-

motions brought him rank of rice
admiral.
Soon after his father's acces
sion on January 22, 1901, Prince
George embarked upon an exten
sive tour which took him to Aus
tralia, South Africa-and Canada.
It was followed in succeeding
years by a number of trips, in
cluding one to India.
When he succeeded to the
throne May S, 1910, at the age of
44, the empire had a sovereign
unique for his first-hand acquain
tance with the world and the do
minions he was called to rule.
Stresses Imperial
Sovereignty
If England knew less about tbe
new king than perhaps any be
fore, and at first drew vivid con
trasts between his general reserve
and serious aspect and his fath
er's winning personality and' gay
removal of the isolation of tbe
throne which had grown up in
Queen Victoria's reign, George V
nevertheless was popular and bad
stamped himself as capable of in
dependent thought.
The nation had had a sharp ex
ample of that In 1901 when he re
turned from his colonial tour and
made a dramatic "Wake up, Eng
land" exhortation at the Guild
hall.
From the beginning, King
George contrived by democratic
participation in many public
events and by other means to
strengthen the crown as an uni
fying influence., divorced from do
mestic .party strife, in the country
and empire.
His stress on the principle of
imperial sovereignty rame to the
fore In 1911 when, with Queen
Mary, be made a notable visit to
India.
Sets Personal
Example in War
When the war cast its shadow
over Europe, King George made
every effort to prevent the out
break, addressing personal ap
peals to the emperors of Russia
and Germany.
When these failed and his own
country was plunged into the con
flict, he iasned a proclamation mo
llllzlng the British army and an
nounced an unwavering determin
ation to fight until victorious.
The- rnler and his family set
themselves to lending tbe royal
Influence and encouragement to
every form of national activity in
aid of the lighting forces. Strict
economy measures were put in
fcrce-in the royal household.
The king paid repeated visits
to his troops in Belgium and
France; in 1917 he stripped Ger
man titles 'and names from the
royal family and changed the
name of the ruling house from
that of Saxe - Coburg - Gotha to
Windsor.
Post-war years brought home
rule to Ireland, a larger share in
self-government to India as well
as steps towards her independ
ence, and the significant develop
ment of the British common
wealth of nations with the crown
as the chief link of the empire.
They also brought difficulties
in the domestic situation, culmin
ating in the general strike of
1926 which paralyzed Industry
and even threatened a social revo
lution. Earlier Illness
Endangers Life
But the country as a whole held
firm to the respect it had always
shown to the king and the Poli
tical crisis passed to be succeed

Opening Session, County
Economic Conference
Draws Good Crowd
.(Continued from Page 1)
Clackamas in the number of farms
of any county in the state, and sec
ond only to Umatilla in the
amount of agricultural wealth
produced. No county in the- state
has such a diversified farm crop
as Marion. Riches said. While val
ues of farm products hare drop
ped somewhat in this county they
totalled 6,S00,000 for 1935,
Riches said. The average annual
farm income in the county was
19,186.000 in the years of 1926
to 1930. inclusive. Of this 68 per
cent came from crops and 31 per
cent from animal production.
A portion of Riches report was
devoted to hops. He said Marion
county produced more hops than
any. county in the world and said
its average annual yield exceeded
the hop production of California
or Washington.
While the total acreage under
cultivation here has not varied
much from the 390,000 acres cul
tivated in 1900, Riches said the
number of farms had nearly
doubled with average acreage
thus declining 50 per cent.
Unlike most conferences, the
two-day session here is not given
over to speeches. Most of the time
is being spent in discussions
among the 12 separate groups,
each of which is scheduled to re
port today.
The morning session today be
gins with an address by A. S. Bur
rier, land planning consultant for
the resettlement administration.
Burrier will discuss the general
outlook for agriculture and will
talk on land utilization and farm
credit. Immediately after his talk,
presentation of reports will be
gin. Reports May Be
Published Later
The committees began their
work shortly before noon yester
day. Conferences continued yes
terday afternoon with secretarial
help being afforded the commit
tees as the day closed. This morn
ing the committees will begin to
make their reports to the general
assembly. The reports, it is
thought, will subsequently be
printed for distribution to farm
ers here.
In addition to tbe committees
on commodities, one key commit
tee on agricultural economics is
preparing a report. This commit
tee will discuss the best methods
of marketing and of production
available to farmers. John Ram
age of Woodburn is chairman of
this committee.
Othr groups meeting Include:
farm crops, John Farr, chairman;
dairy: Warren Gray, chairman;
livestock: Floyd Fox, chairman;

the committee consisted of farm

Condemnation For
Crossing Started
The state highway commission
late yesterday began a condemna
tion suit in circuit court here
against Ernest Harry Moore and
Eliza Anna Moore, the case being
brought to acquire property for
the underground crossing to be
erected at the north edge of the
city on the Pacific highway.
The suit was necessitated when
negotiations between the state
and the defendants in the suit
failed. The plaintiff asserts that
the desired land is worth only
$825.
Under highway commission pro
cedure, contracts for the under
crossing Job. which involves
$260,000, could not be let until
the land was acquired or until
condemnation proceedings began.
Kern and Klbbe were low bidders
on the Jobs when estimates were
opened in Portland last week.

News., of George's death ..was
telegraphed Immediately to all
members of the royal family not
at Sandringham house, to minis
ters of the crown and to foreign
courts.
St. Paul's Cathedral
Bell Set Ringing
Upon the notification by Sir
John -Simon, home secretary, the
Lord Mayor bf London directed the
great bell of St. Paul's cathedral,
where less than a year ago King
George knelt in prayer upon com
pletion of a quarter of a century
upon the throne, be set tolling.
Formalities connected with the
proclamation of a new sovereign
have been set in motion but it
will be more than a year before
they are concluded with the cor
onation. In the case of King
George the sceptre was passed to
him May 6. 1910, but his coron
ation did not take place until July
22, 1911, in Westminster abbey.
Court mourning, according to
precedent, lasts 12 months, and
six months of full mourning fol
lows. Arrangements were quickly
quickly made for summoning the
privy council to St. James palace,
where the new king will meet the
council and make known his fa
ther's death and also the title
he has selected.
Could Adopt Any
Name He Cbose
He need not have used his first
name, "Edward," since he is en
titled to adopt any name, even if
it was not included among the sev
en with which he was christened
"Edward Albert Christian
George Andrew Patrick David."
The new king makes his first
declaration to the privy council,
members of which are re-sworn
into a new council and orders are
given for the proclamation of a
new monarch.
Parliament will meet to take
oaths of allegiance to the new
king.
Since the reform act of 1867
the house of commons no longer
is subject to dissolution on the
change of a sovereign but the ex
isting parliament must meet at
once.

Figures Might Be
Slightly Jumbled
Harry Riches, county agent,
made his speech yesterday at the
agricultural conference under dif
ficulties.
Four hundred farmers were
there, awaiting the statistical data
he had on Marion county's crops
and products. Riches outlined the
case.
Hardly had he finished when
he was called to the telephone.
"Yes, it's a boy," he was told
by a Silverton hospital worker.
"Nine pounds and a dandy."
While the county agent had
been explaining the production of
the county, his wife had present
ed him with their first child.
Riches, happy at the news, ad
mitted that he hadn't slept much
the previous night and declared
the speech was the most difficult
he had ever made.
Mr. and Mrs. Riches were mar
ried in August, 1934.
