PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON SATURDA V, FEBRUARY 22, 1930 TO REORGANIZE DRUM CORPS FOR COMPETITIONS Capital Post No. 9 of the American Legion will probably be represented at state and possibly national meet ings this year by its prize winning drum corps as a result of a pre liminary reorganization meeting held at the armory Friday nipht upon call of H. R. iRufe) White. Nearly 50 past, present and prospective members turned out to meet Rudie Schultz, of Portland, drum corps Instructor for the last three years. Since last fall several of the old members have left the city and others have found It necessary to devote less time to the outside ac tivity and more to busineess with the result that the ranks had been depleted and a call for recruits is sued. By winning first or second place at the Baker convention late In the summer, the corps will probably be taken to the national convention In Boston as Portland, which is seeking the 1031 national conven tion, will take two drum corps east on a special train of 15 cars, in cluding two carloads of Oregon products that will be distributed in the interest of the convention. Mem bers are asked to turn in all equip ment at the next meeting, Friday night, when officers will be elected and a manager chosen. For the best Interests of the corps It has been decided to name the mancger from outside the ranks of the corps. Forest Grove attracted a delega tion from Salem which left shortly before noon Saturday. The dedica tion of the American Legion home of that city Is attracting lesion men from the entire district. Entertainment, feed and a vote upon the proposed Fourth of July three-day rodeo and Indian con gress Is expected to attract a rec ord turnout for the regular post meeting next Tuesday night. 000K FILES FOR POLK ATTORNEY - Elmer D.

PROCLAIM OREGON TRAIL ANNIVERSARY Continued from page I) Washington, while patriotic socie ties planned elaborate demonstra tions. Following tradition, the senate's program included Washington's farewell address. Senator Vanden burg. republican, Michigan, was des ignated by Vice President Curtis to read it. Convening' an hour earlier than usual for its special program for the day, the house cleared the way for nine speeches by members of the George Washington bicentennial commission which Is preparing for the 200th anniversary two years ho:ce. The Washington monument was the scene of the first event of the day in the capitol, the program for that hour including the placing of President Hoover's wreath at the base of the towering stone obelisk by his naval aid. Captain Allan Buchanan. The Sons arid Daughters of the American Revolution gathered for exercises in Continental hall, while In Alexandria the graves of fellow Masons of Washington were decor ated with flowers. Boy Scouts lined up for their annual pilgrimage to Mount Vernon to place wreaths on Washington's tomb. Patriotic organizations also planned cere monies In Arlington National ceme tery and at the tomb of the un known soldier. At the grave of the unknown soldier of the Revolution In an old Alexandria churchyard, ceremonies were arranged by the society of the Children of the Revolution. Mrs. Eleanor Washington Howard, the great neice of Washington, was In charge. Services were planned In the cap itol s churches. General John J. Pershing, the last full ranking gen eral, paid tribute to the nation's first and pointed to Washington National cathedral as "an evidence of what the Spirit of Christ means to our civilization." After a day of observance, the evening Is to be filled with the an nual balls of several patriotic as sociations. LINEN MILL SALE BIG THING FOR SALEM (Continued from page 1) Moving into a pioneer field in 1924 the Miles Mill opened under a management that was without ex perience In the handling of flax and linen twine, with a field to draw on which could furnish nothing but inexperienced help which had to be taught every operation from start to finish, It ran into difficulties at first. The twine it produced would n't hold up and a reorganization was perfected. To make a long story short the management of the mill finally came under the personnel which controls it now and which made the deal with the Barbour people. This personnel Includes Henry B. Craw ford, president; George Shand, vice president; U L. Laws, secretary treasurer; James O. Hrltiel, Carl Nelson and T. B. Kay, directors with the officers also on the directorate. And strong among the officers must be mentioned E. J. OUbraith, manager, and Bertram Thompson, superintendent of the operations of the mill. OUbraith came into tne mill three years ago the first of the coming May. Thompson was brought over from Ireland to handle the plant operations and install the ma chinery and has been here ever since as an important factor In the production end. When OUbraith took hold there were around 30,000 pounds of twine on the shelves which hadn't come up to expectations demanded of salmon twine and had to be disposed of. This was accomplished. Since then sales steadily Increased on the new brand of twine made. Last year, OUbraith was able to report at the annual meeting of the mill, the plant used over 400.000 pounds of flux. It had ecul out over 30.000 pounds of ecmpleted salmon twine and nets and over 2.10,000 pounds of sack twine. Inventory on sack twine In the warehouse showed over 60.000 pounds and in addition over 10,000 pounds In salmon twine and nets with shoe thrpad, mattress thread and considerable number of smaller Items all sold and contracted for. The mlU ahowTd over $98,000 worth of unfinished stock in the ware house and that there had been a payroll for the year of around 75,- 000. All of these factors had a heavy Influence on the eastern capital coming here which has made such1 a difference In the prospects of the lornt flax Industry. While the Barbour people, known as probably the oldest and x most conservative concern In the trade, as actually invested it money here. It is atao know that other large thread and linen Industries of the east has been nosing around In Sa lem an to possibilities here. It is considered by those Interest ed that the Influence Uie Barbour investment may have on other lines In the linen bade la In Itself possi bly one of the biggest factors In the future of the flax Industry in the vaUey. Kstlmatora say that about 1.000 tractors of one American make are being used in Italy. BUSINESS FEELS INFLUENCE OF WEAK MARKET New York, (IP) Weakness In commodity prices, particularly wheat and cotton, has tended to cloud the business picture during the past week and Improvement from the mid-winter lull has been more Irregular. With both wheat and cotton fu ture prices selling at new row lev els for the season, some appre hension has developed over the maintenance of farm purchasing power. Steel production has continued Its climb with the steel corpora tion at 86 per cent of capacity but steel authorities admit that the upswing has lost momentum. Notwithstanding the mixed as pect of the business situation, a feeling of confidence Is in evidence in most centers. In view of the substantial character of the re covery from the mid-winter slump, it is only natural to expect & per iod of consolidation at this time. Large construction projects are waiting the advent of spring and fears of a secondary stock mar ket break have been effectively dissipated. Stocks were somewhat unsettled by the weakness in commodities, but it was felt that a technical readjustment was due in the stock market following the sharp rise since the start of the year. Stock prices this week reached new highs since the November break. The stability of the business situation was indicated by re marks of Julius H. Barnes, chair man of the national business sur vey conference, who stated that the danger of a long depression is ap parently "fairly over." Conditions in the oil Industry have shown signs of improvement. SOVIET CLOSES FEW CHURCHES Moscow (LP) The Soviet has closed only six and one-half per cent; of the churches and other houses of prayer which existed at the time of the revolution, the Society ol the Oodless announced Saturday. Striking at the crusade from abroad striking at the "persecution" of religion in Russia, the atheists said tens of thousands of resolu tions had been passed demanding closure of the churches but the gov ernment has closed only 3380 out of a total of more than 50,000 church es existing under the czars. In view of the fact that Russia always hat an "enormous excess of churches," the statement said, these figures show the "persecution to be much milder than claimed a broad; the anti-religious campaign, however, has been Intensified in the last year and 1360 of the churches involved were converted into electric stations, granaries, etc., since 1928. HAWLEY ACCUSED AS PLOTINSTIGATOR Continued from page 1) hotel room In Oakland, Calif., on June 30, 1928, "a conspiracy was hatched and secretly laid under the leadership of Hon. Willis C. Hawley, congressman from Ore gon." It Is declared that "that illegal meeting was held without notice to many delegates, and while others who might oppose were taken on a Joy ride." The resolution declares further that "Congressman Hawley has drawn $1200 a year for many years from the Woodmen of the Worl.d and In addition has used this order to build up his political machine." "We think," it continues, "that Congressman Hawley was a party to one of the most disgraceful acts in American history and would not hold a candle to his alleged charges against John Brown whom he saw fit to attack. "But the acts of Congressman Hawley and those who associated with him have robbed the widows and orphans and sent many old men to the grave worrying about their loved ones. "Further, Congressman Hawley's attitude and advice In violation of the Injunction of Judge Dunklee is worthy of only men who call them selves anarchists. "We feel that Congressman Haw ley la unfit to represent our state in congress, and pledge ourselves to do aU In our power to bring about hie defeat.'' The resit ition is signed by Dan Kellaher, president, and J. C. Rein hart, secretary of the protest com mittee. The accompanying letter states that the committee is Initiating a bill, which, if completed, will go on the ballot In November, designed to prevent fraternal organisations and creasing rates on existing policy life insurance companies from ln holders. Clare A. Lee, slate tsurance com missioner, said Saturdny that the attack on Congressman Hawley was unjust and that Hawley "had no thing to do with it." Judge Dunklee. referred to in the resolution, Lee thinks is a Colorado Judge who handed down a tlecree favoring those protesting the in creased rates. The case is now on appeal to tne supreme court ol col-1 orada As far as Oregon is concerned Lee has said that he will be govern ed by the final determination of the issue In the courts. ELGIN-WESTON ROAD DEVELOPMENT URGED T .!-!.... rrm ,.n A n Wl A ment la under way to co-operate with the forest service In lng tle so-called Elgin-Weston road, formerly a toll road but re cently deeded to the state highway commission. A number of business men hent hope to co-operate with the county court with the view of jointly furnishing about $16,000 for half the expense. A chamber of commerce committee la investigat ing the proposal. Oregon Cows Share in Jersey Club Records Established in 1929 New York "In the past experienced unusually rapid period of normal growth that ley, secretary of the American Jer-: sey Cattle club said in commenting upon the progress of the Jersey breed during the past year. Registrations of Jerseys ouring 1929 reached a total of 71.661 and a total of 55,374 Jerseys were trans ferred to new owners during the year. During tne past live years total registrations snowca an in crease of 34.4 per cent over the pre vious five years. The great group of new breeders that have been adderi recently are now taking hstock of their herds and working out plans for the future. We es timate that there are now over 10 million Jerseys in the country of which about 380,000 are registered purebreds. "Texas, Mississippi. Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana as a group registered 14,432 head of purebred Jerseys during the first 11 months of 1929 as compared with a total of 11.048 Jerseys regis tered by these five states during the 12 months of 1928. Transfers in this block of states also showed an increase. "Activity among the various Jer sey organizaitons was another fea ture of the year," Mr. Morley said. "Dairy herd Improvement associations throughout the coun try have been more actively sup ported and have shown clearly the value of the Jersey cow In the pro duction of milk and butterfat. Jer sey calf clubs, whose membership is composed of boy and girl owners of Jersey heifers, Increased approxi mately 33 per cent during 1929. "The show season in 1929 was most successful with a record num ber of high quality Jerseys ex hibited. The four regional Jersey shows In four division or regions of the United States attracted the best herds so that they were seen by a greater number of people than ever before." Discussing official production testing Mr. Morley said that the forty thousandth official Jersey production record was accepted by the register of merit of the Ameri can Jersey Cattle club during 1929. "The number of cows that have qualified for the register of merit by making either a 305 day or a 365 day test record now exceeds 31,000. The club now has on rec ord the largest number of 305 and 385 day testa of any of the major dairy breed associations. "Quite a number of outstanding production records were completed oy jersey cows during 1929, and cows now on test will create some surprises durlg 1930. Three fin ished records of over 1,000 pounds of butterfat In a year during 1929. wmornu tiinaa's insie, owned by the University of California, Imp. Xenia's LUac, owned by H.

Dieted records of over 1.000 nounris of butterfat, the equivalent of 1,- pounas oi duller in a year.

MARSHALL OREGON BLDU. few years the Jersey breed has growth and has now reached the was anticipated, L. W. Mor- CITY POLITICS TAKES PLACE IN SPOTLIGHT Continued from page 1) cial street, business district. Ros tein, it is said, is being urged to announce himself by downtown businessmen and bankers who de sire to see the factionalism and political cleavage which has grown up between the mayor and mem bers of the city council elminated by the election of some one affili ated with neither group. Mr. Rostein, admitting that he had been approached in regard to the matter by several businessmen, was still turning ths suggestion over in his mind Saturday, and was not prepared to announc3 what his decision would be. The other mayorality candidate looming on the horizon was W. W. Roscbraugh, present alderman from the second ward and since its inception an active leader in the antl-Livesley group of council' men. Saturday Mr. Rosebraugh said that he was not yet prepared to make any announcement of his intentions. So far as can be learned a move ment launched several months ago by persons interested in furthering the policies under which Mayor Livesley has conducted his admin istration, and to battle the "insurg ent" council organization at the polls on a clear-cut Livesley-anti-Llvesley issue has faded out with the reiterated declaration by Mr. Livesley that he will not even con sider being a candidate for re-election. When the "insurgent" bloc swept into control of the council last fall and launched its program of ham-stringing the mayor with the apparent intention of compelling him to resign Mayor Livesley an nounced that he would serve out his term, but would not be a candidate again. As the breach between the 'insurgents ' and tie mayor widened and the issues became more clearly defined, supporters of the mayor sought to prevail upon him to re consider his decision and again head "municipal development" ticket. During Mayor Livesley's recent absence of a month on a business trip east, plans to nominate him again to head a complete ticket in opposition to the "insurgents" on the council, conditioned upon his reconsideration, were being formu lated, but they fell flat when the mayor declined to change his mind. Whether the attempt will be re vived around another candidate for the mayorality has not been deter mined, persons known to have been active in the movement, said Sat urday. Practically no evidence of activity in the councilmanic situation has yet shown itself, and no candidates have yet taken actively to the field, although there are 10 seats on the council to be filled. Council mem bers whose terms expire this year are: First ward Varnum E. Kuhti. Seond ward W. W. Rosebraugh. Third ward Paul V. Johnson. Fourth ward B. B. Herrick and a . Purvine. Fifth ward David O'Hara and F. L. Wilkinson. Sixth ward Watson Townsend. Seventh ward E. A. Rhoten and O. A. Olson. Gossip gathered In the northern section of the city is to the effect tnat O Hara is to be a candidate to succeed himself, and that P. M.I Gregory, president of the Hollywood j Progressive Business Men's club, will I be put forward to contest the seal I of Wilkinson, if the latter Is a can-; did ate for re-election. i Outstanding develocmenU of the week Just passed in the campaign for the governorship are the dec-1 1ft rat ion of Senator Jay Upton of Bend endorsing the candidacy of Governor Norblad and the report from Portland tnat Bert Haney, re turned from an extended trip east. nas abandoned any intention of seeking the democratic nomination and will also announce In a few; days. j Upton's declaraUon will unques tionably benefit Norblad In his fight for votes in the central Oregon country, whether Upton makes an active campaign for the incumbent or not. Senator Upton wields an unquestioned Influence among a powerful group In the wide open spaces between The .Dalles, where Senator Charles Hall Is claiming an edge in the contest, and Klamath Falls.' where Bruce Dinnls is busily lining up things for Harry Corbctt. Haney s purported decision ts stick with his private practice practically assures Senator Ed Bailey of a clear field for demo cratic honors, for it is unlikely that any other democrat of any prominence will come forth at this la to date.

' During the week it has been clear ly IndicatecLby persons closely affil iated with organized labor's recently created political council that the or ganization, as such, is going to take no part In the gubernatorial contest and will concentrate its campaign activities toward the election of state representatives and senators in cer tain counties, particularly Multnomah. In Marlon county the situation as regards the legislative campaign shows little change. For the two senate seats Sam Brown, Lloyd Reynolds (incumbents), Frank Set tlemeier, former representative, and Dr. P. O. Riley have announc ed themselves, and Dr. W. Carlton Smith is still sitting on the fence looking things over. For the house delegation Romeo Gouley is the only candidate so far to announce; Lee McAllister is undecided and James Mott, former representative from Clatsop county now residing here, says fie may run if it appears that one of the four seats to which the county Is entitled should go begging. YOUNG GUARD IN LUNCH CLUB Washington (X The senate re publican Young Guard group, which organized suddenly during the tariff contest to demand speed In enact ment of the measure, is continuing intact but more or less as a luncheon organization. Luncheons every three weeks are the order for the Young Guard and Senator Watson of Indiana, the par ty leader, and Senator McNary of Oregon, the assistant leader, are among those at the table. An unique system of selecting the host has been found. Senator Wat son "fines" one for any irregularity in the tariff voting by making him the host for the next luncheon. Senator Allen, of Kansas, has been "fined" as the next host. He must "set up" luncheons for the 25 Young Guard republicans because he voted against the increase in tariff on sugar.

Parades and ceremonials were the outer symbols of the reverence in which this town holds the country's founder, who once walked its streets and frequented Its buildings. Early Saturday patriots here paia homage at Washington's Mount Ver non tomb. The general's unknown followers were honored later. ' A parade three and a half miles long was to pasa before Mr. Hoover and Governor Pollok of Virginia, as they sat in a reviewing stand before the residence of Mayor William A. Smoot of Alexandria. The Virginia governor was to ar rive at noon, followed shortly by Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, and a party of Washington officials including Sec retary of War Hurley and General Charles P.
