FORD WANTS PENDLETON
REPRESENTED IN SALT
LAKE MEETING AUG. 45
Intermediate Rate Association
Will Review Fight Being
Made for Rates at Gathering
iA general meeting of the Interstate
Hate association will be held in Suit
Lake City on Monday, August 14, ac
cording to a notice to members that
has been sent out by J. A. Ford, ex
ecutive secretary of Spokane.
The fight of the association to keep
the railroads from violating the
fourth section of the present regula
tions and charging a back hau In the
inter-mountain country wtiicli will
equal rates to the coast and bad
again has been carried before the In
terstate Commerce commission. A de
cision from this tribunal is not ex
pected before the latter part of Sep
tember or the fgirst of October, ac
cording to Ford.
Mr. Ford has only recently return
ed from Washington, I) ,C, where he
spent about 10 weeks in the interests
of the association pnd other 'busi
ness. The meeting at Salt Iake City
will be for the purpose of taking n,
all the nqwest developments in thx
fight that is being made by the inter
mountuin country to secure and kee;.
equitable freight rates.
C. I. Barr is director representing
this section orf Oregon. No decision
2:
has been made yet as to wheth
will go to Salt Lake City, but the
te- will be taken up soon for a deci- j
sion. Some of the views of Secretary
Ford are set forth in the follow'ng
statement:
"So far as I am concerned, I be
lieve that our organization should as
once launch our fight in congres-.
We have no time to 'lose. The rail
roads are showing a disposition to en
croach more and more upon the
fourth section and by degrees are try
ing steadily to return to the old dis
criminatory practice. Four years ugo
we led them into congress and we beat
them. We can do it again. Anyway,
the time has come for decisive action
on our part.
"The house of representatives will
reconvene August IB. The meeting
of our association at Salt Lake CHy
will be the day before the house re
convenes. Every part of the Inter
mountain territory should bo repre
sented at this meeting prepared to
express the viewpoint of, each com
munity. We will have to talk f nances i
and probably have, to levy an Increas-
ed budget. So think these things j
all over. Remember we are In a big
fight, remember also that we can win
(this fight if we have the courace I
i to stay tti it and come to Salt Lake j
tY ready to confer with other mem
bers on these important ucstton. j"
jThls Salt Like City meeting Is goinc i
I to be one of the most Important that 1
has ever been held in the intermoui
tain territory."

HIGH PRICE OF HAY WILL
CAUSE STOCK TO BE SENT
OUT 0F VaTE F0R FEED
Hiy in Umatilla county will
be too high ,for sheep men and
cattle men' to be able to buy it
to feed this winter, according to
the opinion of pome of the larg
est operators in tu:s district.
The continued drough on the
ruime, which has practically de
nuded the open country of pas
ture lor both cattle and sheep,
is oni) factor which has caused
hay to take an upward swing
during the past fortnight.
The Hilffer prices that prevail
for Mood quality baled alfalfa
js welcomed gladly by hny
fanners in the irrigated sections,
but it presents a serious condi
tion to the livestock men. The
shee)) men declare that nine or
ten dollars a ton in the stack
under present conditions Is a
grent big lot of money for them
to pay for their hay, and the
cattle Industry is in even less
favorable a position to pay such
a price. Prices nt Hoi-mlston
are said to be above $15 the ton
baled,: f. o. b. cars.
; One 'big outfit will move Its
surplus sheep clear out of the
state this winter for feeding, it
will be necessary to move cattle,
also, but no definite movement
has been launched by cattle
men. . ; '
Itangre in the. forests is still
good, uccorrtlng to authentic re.
ports, but the open range is so
dry us to be practically worth
ies. FILIPIKO PLANS FIGRT

RAILROADS NOT TRYING
TO
HONS IS
Settlement of Strike Situation
as Important to Public ai to
Principals, Visitor Says.
The sidu of the railroad executives
in tne present strike situation was ex
plained fully today by Charles Dillon
of Chicago in an address which he
delivered iitt the noon luncheon of the
Rotary club. About a score of mem
bers of the Progressive Business clxib
also attended the luncheon and lis
tened to the talk of the rallrond man.
Mr. Dillon is assistnnt to tho chair
man of the western committeo on
public relutions, association of rail
way executives. The membership -of
tills association Includes the presi
dents of all cluss one ra.'lroads, about
200 in number, and tho western com
mittee represents the chief executives
of the roads west of Chicago, cover
ing 28 states. "
"The mistaken Impression prevails
that th railways ar trylnr t . break
dnvvlt tho unions," Mr. Pillon said.
"Nothing could tie farther from the
truth. The actual faot is that the
roads are in the present' situation
through no fault of their manage
ments, and that the conditions con
fronting them making reductions in
rates and wages unavoidable have re
sulted from un economic, necessity not
created by the managements, snd en
tirely beyond their control. This is a
matter of current history.
"When, in 1930, the United Htutes
railroad labor board made the lurg
cst advance in v. ages ever recorded,
amounting, indeed to more than
$720,000,000 a year, tho railroads ac
cepted the decision w'thout resistance
and paid tho price. The men at- that
time did not question the jurisdiction
of the board in making this enormous
advance. Now, In this period of read

The. Hell basic patent, known in the .

has been called the fnost valuable oln-

history of Invention. There are today
over thirteen million telephone Instru

phone conversations are carried on
each year. .. ; i : ; (
Means of communication had been '
a hobby In the Bell family long- be- .'
fore the inventor of the telephone was 1
born. Two generations back. Ales- ,
andep Fell became noted for Invent- )
ing a system for overcoming stam- .
merlng speech, while his son, Alex-
under Molvlllo Bell, father of the in- ;
ventor of the telephone, perfected a
system of visible speech.
With this heritage, the son, born in
Edinburgh, Scotland, In 1847, under
took similar experiments while still a
lad. He constructed on . artificial
skull of gutta-percha and Indian rub
ber that would pronounce several
words in weird tono, when blown Into
by a hand bellows. At the age of
sixteen be became, like hie father, a,
teacher of elocution, and an Instructor
of deaf mutes. . .
Hell reached e crisis In his life at
the age of 22, when he waa threaten

cue caused the death of his two broth
ers and the Boll family migrated to .

Education to offer the young Bell ir-00
to Introduce hie system In the newly

was then 24 year old. and Instantly
became the educational sensation of
the day. He wu appointed a profes

' Hut teaching interfered with his in

two pupils. One of these was liabel
Hirbbara, of a wealthy family. She
had lost her hearine and speech In an
attack of scarlet fever while a baby.
It was she -who later became Bell's
wife.
Hell spent the following three yeare
in night work in a cellar In Salem,
Mass. His money-needs were met by
Gardiner G. Hubbard, his future tath-er-ln-law.
