Harris Hale
And Hearty on
91stBirthday
E. O. Harris, 1680 Waller street,
celebrated his gist birthday Sat
urday. And ninety-one years are
handled by him as easily as the
average man handles 70. Among
other things he dropped Into the
Capital Journal office, sang a song,
played his mouth organ and told a
few reminiscences of his long life.
The latter 10 years of his fe
have been spent in Salem. He
came here from Nebraska 10 years
ago after resigning from the civil
service in the regular army after
34 years of service. He also served
through the civil war from 1861 to
1865. He was born In Illinois going
to Nebraska in 1876 wher ehc lived
until 1919.
Summer before last he took a trip
by automobile back through Ne
braska and other middle western
states, driving the car himself.
He has four great great grand
children and five generations In the
family are planning on a picture.
Mr. Harris amuses .himself by
making toys. He is a woodworker
and cabinet maker of considerable
experience and atleptness and finds
fun in his old age making some
thing that will amuse the young
sters. "Live another 91 years? I'm not
so sure," he said. "It would be
facing a lot of trouble."

POULTRYMEN
OFFER TRIBUTE
TO HANSONS
Two hundred men and women
poultry breeders, hatcherymen, busi
ness and professional men from all
over western Oregon and Washing
ton gathered at a banquet at the
Marion hotel here Friday night to
pay tribute to Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Hanson of Corvallls as the premier
poultry producers of the world. The
event was In celebration of the re
cent victory achieved by the Han
sons In the big International egg
laying contest at Storr's, Connect
icutt, when ten pullets entered by
the Corvallls poultry men established
two new world's records, one by pro
ducing 2935 eggs In the 51 weeks of
the contest and another by reason
of the fact that seven, of the ten
hens produced In excess of 300
eggs during the contest.
Paul V. Maris, head of the ex
tension department of the Oregon
agricultural college, pre.C.ed over
the banquet as toastmaster. He
briefly reviewed the rise of the Han
sons from an obscure beginning in
the poultry business on a run down,
abandoned poultry farm on the out
skirts of Corvallls 16 years ago to
their present position as the recog
nized premiers of the pountry world.
"Sixteen years ago when J. A.
Hanson started his poultry plant
at Corvallls," Maris declared his
entire capital consisted of $1000 In
cash, an unlimited capacity for hard
work and an abiding; faith In the
poultry Industry which has been
fully justified by the success to
which he has attained through
close application to the numerous
details Involved In poultry produc
tion." Governor Patterson In a brief
address referred to the poultry In
dustry as the third most Import
ant agricultural Industry In the
state of Oregon but quoted figures
to show that this state Is lagging
far behind both California and
Washington in the development of
the poultry business.

cluded E. T. Reed of Corvallis, col
lege editor; Ambrose Brownell of
Milwaukie, prominent Leghorn
breeder; B. E. Slsson, president of

POULTRY PROTECTION
SCHOOL DRAWS MANY
Sllverton Twenty-two people are
now enrolled in the poultry protec
tlon night school which Is being
conducted by Ute Smith-Hughes
department of Sllverton high
school. The twenty-two students
are raising 4,714 fowls and have
been securing excellent egg prices
during the present season.
One feature of a recent meeting
was a demonstration of a new poul
try tattoo marking outfit. Poultry
thieves throughout he country will
think twice before taking a chance
on the stealing of tattooed fowls.
The tattoo system Is the poultry
man's best method for protecting
his flock and Is being extensively
used In all the western stales.

ling that will be demonstrated. The
meeting at the Gwalchmal place
will start at 0 a m., Monday, and
on the Dickenson farm S miles

Work Is underway this week on
all three of these farms, pre-bait-
ing and poisoning so as to be able
to show results at the time of the
meetings Monday. i
STEEL STOCKS
BOOST MARKET
TO HIGH LEVEL
New York (IP) United States Steel
soared to new high ground on the
current movement Saturday and led
the entire stock market higher. Buy
ing of the Issue was based to some
extent on expectation of a split up
in the Issues, but this lacked con
firmation from official sources.
With Steel around 180, compared
with a low made a few weeks ago
at 150, the entire list moved ahead
aggressively most of the short ses
sion. Business for a time was at an
8.000,000 share a day rate. Tickers
fell behind nearly a half hour and
stocks were coming out In huge
blocks.
Toward the close, the Inevitable
week-end profit-taking was making
Itself felt in some of the early gain
ers, but it was not of scope suffi
cient to make serious Inroads Into
the advances. The tone was confi
dent as the closing gong rang.
U. S. Steel made a whirlwind fin
ish, being one of the few stocks
that did not meet profit-taking at
all. A few minutes before 12 o'clock
traders were frantically bidding for
the Issue. It shot ahead and its
strength arrested selling elsewhere.
International Telephone was a
favorite during the session, rising
six points and holding most of the
gain, other wide gainst made in
cluded A. T. and T. Westinghouse
Electric, Montgomery Ward and Am
erican and Foreign Power.
Radio Corporation was active but
it lost nearly all the gain toward
the close. Standard Oil of New er-
sey featured the oil shares. Chrysler
was a strong spot in .the motors.
Ralls did little after early strength.
Utilities continued in demand.
western Union soared nearly 20
points and International Telephone
extended its gain to seven before
the advance was checked by profti
taklng. Otis Elevator converted a
loss of 8 points Into a gain of sim
ilar extent. American Tobacco B,
Columbia Graphaphone, Allied
Chemical, National Lead, Ingersoll
nana. Columbian Carbon. J. I. Case
and U. 8. Industrial Alcohol all sold
five to eight points higher.

Santa will suend at least a week
in Salem this year interviewing the
Doys ana girls, ana conferring with
the Christmas cheer committee ot
the Sale.n Lodge of Elks, which,
with the cooperauon of the Caultal

Elaborate preparations are being
mane to welcome Santa upon his
arrival, and to see that everything

TELLS OF TRIP
TO jANTA LAND
Continued from page 1)
attempted to drive Santa from his
domain.
But Santa Clans being wise con
tinued to let his whiskers grow
and laughed and laughed. This
only served to make the Northwind
more angry than bsfore, and tnen
when he tried to blow Santa's ice
palace and reindeer from the face
of North Poleville and couldn't do
it, he gave up and retreated to
his cave.
Battling with Layluk all day and
climbing the pass step by step, the
fight finally sapped all our strength
and we came to a halt. Our finger
tips were frozen and our feet felt
like wood. Mrs. K. had her nose
frozen; we were hungry and very
very tired.
It took- us two hours to pitch
camp and then we had to battle
for our lives to keep the snow drifts
from piling up on us and burying
us and the reindeer. We huddled
together and the Eskimos gave us
some dried seal meet. We could
not even light our alcohol stoves.
What were we to do? We could
not stay here any longer without
perishing. Were we to turn back
and give up the expedition and
disappoint all the children? It
would have been justified.
We waited until the full moon
came up again, for the moon dis
perses storms and clouds as the
sun does fog and mist. Sure enough.
there seemed to be a connection be
tween the moon and Layluk. The
blizzard let up a little, we rushed
out, our deer lifted their heads.
Patunuk spoke to them In Eskimo
and brushed the icicles from their
mouths and nostrils.
We started out again and to our
surprise the narrow canyon began
sloping down hill. We had stopped
just at the dividing line between
success and failure, as happens so
often in one's hie.
We were passed Layluk's cave and
although he still lashed and roar
ed at us, his raging grew fainter
and less until we found ousel ves
on a wide, level plain called
tundra with soft snow and under
neath it an abundance of reindeer
moss for which we were grateful
for our faithful animals needed food
and rest as much as we did.
Threy pawed the snow with their
sharp little hoofs and shoveled It
away with their antlers.
We gathered some of the moss
and built a camp fire, and Mrs. K.,
true to the promise she made before
leaving New York, with the assist
ance of the Eskimos, played cook
and got busy preparing a warm meal
and a bood cup of coffee. It
strengthened our bodies and our
spirits but we were so tired It took
us some time before we fell into
a dead sleep.
It seemed we had barely closed
our eyes when I woke up and saw
Patunuk standing over me and I
wanted to ask him why he didn't
go to bed. when I heard him say.
"Ka-blo-ni - Asin - Asin -M tWhite
man get up. get up.)
We had slept 8 hours.
The deer, instead of lying con
tentedly chewing their cud, were ;
excited and running to the end
of their ropes, lifting their heads
and tossing their antlers, sniffing
and snorting. !
I had often driven reindeer and
I knew what was up. They had
smelled a reindeer herd, and In a
strong wind these animals can smell
a large herd for 40 miles. The rein
deer are gregarious. That is. they
live in herds, and they wanted to
be off to join Wlr brothers. If
the herd happens to be in the di
rection you are going you have
fine sailing, as they will run at
top speed until they reach the herd.
But. oh, if the herd Is in the op
posite direction, look out for you
have trouble on your hands.
We quickly broke camp and hitch
ed up. The deer flew across the
tundra In great leaps and bounds,
as if they had no sleigh or load
behind them.
They threw the clods of snow
from their hoofs so we had to lie
down on the sleighs and cover our
faces. You know how hot and !
sticky you get when you run I
The deer do not perspire through
their skin as we do. or as horse.'
OREGON POTATO
LAW ENFORCED
FOR FIRST TIME
As soon as Oregon housewives be
come familiar with the new potato
grading law, which is being enlorced
m Oregon this winter for the first
time, they will get into the habit oi
demanding their favorite grades
from grocers, says Seymour Jones,
state market agent.
The potau) inspection and grading
law was passed by the legisla
ture. It authorized the state market
agent to establish grades for pota
toes and the grades that rave been
adopted are federal grades. The law
required the inspection of all ship
ments sent or received in the a
mount of five tons or more. Jones
has arranfd with the federal de
partment o' agriculture for the li
censing of his state agents to issue
federal certificates of inspection.
Jones said the Klamath Falls dis
trict is the largest potato producing
area in the state. His office has,
this fall, inspected about 500 car
loads at Klamath Falls. The total
inspected in the state so far is
about 700 cars. It Is estimated there
will be 500 more.
