RESPECTS TO AN OLD-TIMER
Bend was little more than an overgrown village when
Art Stipe came here from Portland in 1916. But it was a
bustling town with a fine future. The railroad had reached
Bend in 1911, and in 1916 the big pine mills took shape on
me uescnutes. mere was talk that Bend would be the Spo
Kane of eastern Oregon.
, Close friends of Art Stipe often wondered if it was Bend's
Drignt luture or Deschutes fishing and hunting that attracted
him to Central Oregon from Portland. He was a sportsman
and a lover of the outdoors.
Many of Art Stipe's happiest days were spent at his
homey cabin at Paulina lake, in the quiet of a mountain
crater. He found peace and contentment there, where trout
cut the water and deer trailed over mountain rims.
It was at his Paulina retreat that friends of Art Stipe
found him a genial host, a fine teller of stories of the Oregon
outdoors, a good companion.
Central Oregon will miss him. '

FRIVOLITY AD INFINITUM
The office mail the past few days has been full of news
of conventions, and in some cases invitations to them.
The offerings have been wonderful.
In each case we would have had to pay, of course, but
since most of them are advertised as business conventions,
it seems that the Bureau of Internal Revenue would be bear
ing a large part of the cost.
We've been offered trips to Florida, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona and Southern California, We think the smog will
force us tq pass up the latter, and lack of money will curtail
our travels to the others. But you can be sure the BIR will
start taking'a whacking from a number of people right after
the first of the year. -
Not satisfied with telling us about the conventions them
selves, we get all sorts of glowing reports about the side
trips otterett to .Bermuda. Uuba. Mexico and Hawaii.
The rain of the weekend and the reports combined to
sort ot make us wish we. too. had an unlimited expense ac-

Conflict-of'Law Regulation

Truman over the Harry Dexter

so-called "conflict-of-interest" law.
Bereson has denied the charges,

County Agent News
By GENE LEAR
There is evidence a-plenty to in
dicate more farmers could use
more rye to their advantage. (I'm
referring to the kind we grow!)
This is true on both irrigated and
unirrlgated cropland.
We are frequently asked to rec.
ommend a crop that can be plant
ed for temporary pasture. So far
I haven't found one 'hat is any
better than rye. This is especially
true when some fertilizer sul
phate of ammonia Is added when
on irrigated land. Rye is about
the last thing to quit growing in
the fall and the first to start in
the spring in fact It doesn't wait
for spring! A few "warm" days
in January or February and rye,
fields are soon green. Some yel
low blossom sweet clover seeded
" with it would make it still better.
Yield) Pasture and Grain
A couple or three years ago
Jim Short planted a field to rye
to provide early pasture for his
sheep. The rye got a good growth
early and Jim turned in a lot of
sheep and pastured it down. When
it grew right back the sheep were
. turned in again and it was pas
tured down again. I think this
was repealed about four times
after which the area was planted
to an improved pasture mixture.!
The field was then Irrigated again
and back came the rye so rank,
in fact, that it gave the new pas
ture seeding too much competi
tion. Jim later harvested a fine
rye grain crop from the field In
addition to the large amount of
pasture furnished.
Pasture Relief
Last year Ralph Laird, who has
the farm on the highway between
Bend and Redmond and where
you see a lot of black cattle in
the fields, did about the same
thing. Ralph needed early pas
ture for the cattle so he planted
a field to rye in the fall. Early in
the spring he pastured it off after
it had about a font of growth. It
provided a lot of feed, and gave
. Ralph a chance to keep the rat
tle off his irrigated pastures un
til they had a chance to get a
good start. By the time the irri
gated pastures needed a rest the
rye was a foot high again. The
cattle were turned back on the
rye and It was pastured down
acaln. After the cattle were taken
off the rye was Irrigated and he,
too, was able to harvest a good
rye grain crop!
' The rve pasture is good feed
for dairy cattle, too, as well as
sheep and beef. Some dairymen
have been using it for early pas
ture. lias Value as Hay
The rye cart be planted on dry
land, and used to provide a lot o!
cheap but good pasture or hay.
Lots of our irrigated farms also
have some areas of sagebrush and
juniper which can be cleared and
used to grow rye for hay or pas
ture. There are some who think rye
hay is no good generally it is
those who haven't had a chance
to try it. You surely wouldn't be
able to tell John or George Brad
etich, Rodney Rosebrook, Herb
Meeks, or Newt Morris that it
isn't good hay for beef cattle!
When it is fed with a little cot
toncake or some alfalfa hay, the
cattle come through the winter in
fine shape.
It won't work for feeding as
hay to dairy cows, but after all,
we must have something to feed
the alfalfa hay to!

which he interpreted this "prose

The case against Bergson was

obvious attempt to test this broad
interpretation. The indictment
against him was returned. icct-

statute of limitations would have

Later that same month, as a
private attorney, Bergson on be

the Department of Justice for anti
trust clearance on a proposed
merger. Attorney General Brownell
contends this was a violation of
the conflict-of-interest law.

an antitrust clearance letter, which
was then denied. A year later! as

Cave-in Action
Taken by Council
PORTLAND,' Nov. 24 ffPi PoW
land cily officials today took steps
to protect city employes from
being .trapped in excavation cave-
ins similar to that in which two
men lost their lives here naay.
Commissioner William A. Bowes
directed L. G. Apperson, city en
gineer, to issue orders against city
workers entering diggings not ap
proved by the State Industrial Ac
cident Commission.
Apperson said he intends to in
form the Commission that no city
employe will enter excavations not
approved by the Commission.
The excavation in which the two
men were buried alive Friday was
made by a private plumbing con
tractor. No reinforcing timber was
used. Apperson said that if the job
had been done by the city, the
walls would have been shored up
to prevent cave-ins.
Power Policies..
Eyed Monday
At Co-op Meeting
By MARTHA STRANAHAN
Special to The Bulletin
' REDMOND, Nov. 24 Two offi
cials of the Bonneville Power
Administration were speakers dur
ing the seventh annual meeting of
members of Central Electric Co
operative Monday in Westminster
hall.
S. E. Schultz, chief engineer,
from Portland, reviewed the power
policy of the present administra
tion. He said that the Department
of Interior's approach to the sub
ject is a positive one and "win
continue with the tun -resource
develonment of multi-purpose hy
droelectric projects, including pow
er, although the supply ot power
itself is not a primary function of
the federal government."
The department, Schultsi said,
"will encourage a partnership with
local agencies and individuals, all
working together in making full
use of our resources, including
power. Emphasis will be placed on
local initiative and endeavor in
this connection."
He also discussed priority for
rural, domestic and perference
agencies in allocation ot power,
and the Department's policies on
building transmission lines, rates
and resale rates.
Among Farm Groups
The southwest area manager, W.
E. Trommershausen, Eugene,
speaking during the afternoon ses
sion, also urged support and un
derstanding of Sec. Douglas Mc
Kay's policy. He noted that in the
past he had found understanding of
B.P.A. problems and leactersnip in
their- solution among northwest
farm groups, and hoped they would
continue.
He developed a statement by the
supervisor of Mt. Hood National
Forest that "Water is a crop."
Water needs to be stored, Trom
mershausen said, by dams and
other storage projects, for periods
of several years if necessary. The
Columbia River and its tributaries
have a potential of 40 million horse
power from the 150 minion acre
feet of water deposited in them
each year by the sun the "gold
mine in the sky.
At present, he said, some two
million horsepower are being de
veloped, and in the next 20 years
eight to ten million should he pro
duced. These estimates are rec
ommended to serve expected in
dustrics as well as the preference
customers. The latter can utilize
alone the power output from pres
ent and authorized dams. The
Eugene man also warned against
considering that atomic power
would soon mnko hydroelectric
power obsolete. Atomic power will
be abundant some day, too, but
as a supplement to established hy
droelectric power, he believes.
