Potato Industry
Shows Big Growth
Redmond, April 13 (Special)
The immense growth of the po
tato industry in Central Oregon
today was noted by Ben David
son, federal-state shipping point
inspector in charge of this area,
when he revealed that from 137
.carloads of potatoes shipped In
1926, it has grown to 1,768 cars
to be delivered in 1945.
A slackening of production this
year, however, will result from
the rotation of crops, as required
by an agriculture law for the
perpetuation of the crop.
Davidson discussed the potato
situation at the Kiwanis luncheon
on Thursday noon in the banquet
room of the Redmond hotel.
Fluorescent Mineral Display
Considered By Geology Club
Interest Scientists' have taken was agreed by the clubmen that,
in the ancient strata, tilted moun
tains, old lake beds and volcanic
peaks of Central Oregon from
pioneer days to the present was
reviewed at the quarterly meet
ing of the Deschutes Geology club
here last night when the geologi
cal literature of the region was
presented for study. This litera
ture, club members learned, dates
back to the Williamson railroad
survey party of 1855, when Dr.
John C. Newberry, for whom
Newberry crater was named, vis
ited the area.
The literature review revealed
that earth scientists in their study
of the interior country made dis
coveries that attracted world-wide
attention, in the days of the pio
neer paleotologists, E. C. Cope,
O. C. Marsh and Thomas Condon.
The area continued to receive at
tention through the writings of
Dr. John C. Merriam and his
noted students, John Buwalda,
Chester Stock and Ralph W.
Chaney. In more recent years, the
Bend geologists were told, Oregon
men of science published much
about the geology of the state,
and were joined in these studies
by Dr. Howel Williams of the
University of California, whose
report on the Three Sisters area
is the latest contribution to the
geology of Central Oregon.
The Deschutes Geology club In
dicated it will make every effort
to assist the local library in build
ing up Its Oregon geology shelf,
with special emphasis to litera
ture bearing on the geology of
the midstate country. Phil F. Bro
gan, local writer on geology, was
speaker at the meeting last night.
Featuring the club session was
a display of fluorescent minerals,
by E. L. Sigfrit and John L.
Carter. Minerals that glow "with
strange fires" were displayed. It
if arrangements can be made, a
downtown display of these min
erals, some of them collected In

newspaper publisher. '

Tom Logan. For 14 years he had
been Mr. Roosevelt's waiter at
Warm Springs. His chin 'trem
bling and his shoulders shaking,
the white-haired negro watched
the body of his friend pass by.
"Lord God, take care of him
now," said Logan.

The victims of the malady with
whom Mr. Roosevelt had a special
bond watched it disappear In the
distance. , '
At 10:55 a.m. the President's
casket was placed aboard the train
by eight enlisted men, the picked
body guard for the last journey.
Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by
the president's two cousins, Miss
Laura Delano and Miss Margaret
Sucklcy, and Grace Tully, the
President's secretary, boarded.the
tram.
The train was the same as the
President's usual special, with one
extra car making eleven cars in
all.
As the troops in their olive drab
stood at attention and the towns
folk of Warm Springs bared their
heads, the train pulled out of the
station at 11:13 a.m., EWT..
The crowd stood silently as the
train gathered speed and rumbled
northward along the tracks. Fi
nally it rounded a bend and all
that could be seen was a thin trail
of black smoke.

units. He also dedicated Timber
line lodge on Mount Hood on this
trip.
A secret wartime Inspection
trip brought the president on his
last journey to the northwest in
1942. Workers at the Kaiser Ore
gon shipyard in Portland stared
open-mouthed on Sept. 23, when
his train entered the yard and
he drove up a ramp in a car and
watched the launching of the 10

which his daughter christened.
He made a brief speech to the
14,000 workers present, praising
their war work and predicting
ultimate victory.
