OREGON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1930 POTATO STOCKS SHOW DECREASE OVERYEAR AGO Fortlanad, P Oregon potatoes in storage for tale January 1, 1930. vera estimated at lAbtJOOO bush els, according to a Teport of the United States division of crop and livestock estimates reissued uirougn Oregon's federal stat crop report- ' ing service. On Jaanuary 1, a year ago, the potato stocks In Oregon vers almost twice as large, the re vised estimate being 2,074,000 bu- sncis. An unusually poor potato crop In heavier producing areas of the state last season accounts chiefly for the big decrease in January 1 potato stocks, the report slated. Oregon potato acreage in 1930 vlll be 43,000 acres if the expres sed intention of Oregon growers Is fully carried out. This is an in crease of 1,000 acres over the acre age dug in 1029. - In the 19 northern potato pro ducing states the intended acre age is estimated at 3,296,000 acres. which compares with 2,102,000 acres harvested last year- and 2.474,000 harvested in 1928. This estimate is based On Intentions of growers in these states as of Jan uary l, 1930.

BUDD HOPES TO GET REHEARING ON BURLINGTON Seattle, Wash, ln The pinion that "futlier eouaideraUois should be given to the matter at contin uing the Burlington ownership af ter the unification" of tbe -Great Northern and Northen Pacific Rail ways, was expressed here Prida by Ralph Budd. president of the Oreat Northern Railroad. Budd comment was evoked by the action of the Interstate commerce com mission In approving the merger of the northern roads provided the Burlington system was "divorced" Ilpm the unlflcatici. ""Extensive comment Is Impracti cable without having seen the com mission's order." Mr. Budd said in a statement. "My opinion Is that at least the neiv northern system necessarily must have to have access to Chicago and I know of no oth er means so satisfactory as to use the Burlington line down tbe Miss issippi river from the Twin Cities. Without such access to Chicago by the northern lines, it Is difficult for me to see how the new northern system and the Northwest public can continue to enjoy the benefits. that the Burlington control by the northern lines has given them for the past thirty years. "The decision In the merger case will strengthen the position of the ureal northern and Western Pa clfic now -meeting permission to nulla 200 miles of line to close the gap between the two systems in Eastern Oregon and Northern Cal ifornia, the president said. By add ing the Northern Pacific (M0 miles of aditlonal railroad territory to be btneftUed is attached to the side of the extension." FRANCE REALIZING VALUE OF COLONIES Paris. IIP) The London Naval Conference has served to make the French people colony-conscious. Since the War France has been so absorbed in her Internal pro blems that she has taken HtUe heed of her rich and far flung posstsslons. But now the attention of the man fin the street has been called em' phatlcary to the French provinces EIELSON'S BODY .

Judge D'Arcy has been connected with this movement for over JO years and might be said to be the pioneer mover of It. Incidentally it may be said that a copy of a recent con gressional record contain a four page historical review of Champoeg park prepared by Judge D Arcy and Introduced Into the record by Sena tor Fess who introduced the resolu tion and secured a favorable report of the senate comm.tlec., Judge D'Arcy states that move ment for making Champoeg park a permanent memorial, and In fact establishing the park Itself came with presentation of a rod of ground by Hofer & Zorn as a site for the monument. A committee composed of Qeorge H. Hlmes, Governor Oeer and F. X. Mathleu, one of the aur vlvora of the famous "division" se lected the spot, Mr. Matt hint de termining on it. In 1907 Judge D' Arcy drafted a legislative bill call ing for purchase of 2 56-100 acres of ground for a park site. This was Introduced by E. M. Crolsan and passed the legislature but was ve toed by Governor Chamenain. A little later this was bought by a committee of 12 men who took a chance on the state later paying for It. In this committe were A. Bust), Richard Wllllar.is, E. B. Williams, James Falling, W. H. Pope, George A. Harding. F. X. Matthieu, John Mlnto, M. C. George, F. V. Holm an, Joseph Buchtel and Judge D'Arcy. This committee gave the deed to the land, to Judge D'Arcy In trust for the state and It was finally taken over by the state in 1913. In 1915 a bill was passed appropriating $5000 for a building and later another 95000 added, both In bills drawn by Judge D Arcy. The state now owns 106 73 100 acres of land In the park, aU of which will be turned over with the buildings to the government If ar rangements are made to construct a $250,000 memorial building which would take $115,000 from the gov ernment to be matched by $125,000 by the state but the land and build ings would be taken in as part of the state's share of the money.

COPPER MINE DUST IS DEADLY POISON New York (Ai Copper mining produces Its own peculiar form of gas haaard which Is described in a report to the American Institute of mining and Metallurgical Engi neers by Oscar A.

Now they call up and say, "I'm flying tonight, dear." ' That much, at least, may be In ferred from a report of Swan Island airport officials here. An attractive 3'oung woman entered the airport office recently, looking for her husband. "lis files nights." she explained. The officials looked embarrassed, hesitatln? to tell her they knew of no one doing night flving around 8wan Island. Then site showed them 'hubby's- picture. They didn't rec ognise htm.

By paying prior to March 1, says the commission, the taxpayer will avoid penalty and interest If the law Is upheld, and If it is found unconstitutional their tax payments will be refunded. The commission has found manv taxpayers in doubt as to what to do. "In order to protect the taxpay ers irom neavy penalties and In terest when the law Is sustained." said the statement, "returns should be filed and the tax paid within the time specified by the law. Such procedure conforms to the usual practice with respect to suits brought to test the leaalltv of state and federal tax laws. "If by any chance the intangi bles tax law should be declared invalid In any respect, it will not be the attitude of the commission to retain any money which the court may determine was illegally collected. "In view of the thousands of re turns which have now b?en filed ana tne large amount of money coucciea, no otner course would be fair to those who have already complied with the law."

Los Angeles, (IP) Because south- ecrn California's skies are clear and warm and Its ground is still "wake ful," this region will become one of the world's foremost research centers. Tills prediction was made bv Dr. Robert A. Mlllikan of the California Institute of Technology, and was accompanied by an announcement of a large building program for the institute. "This region,'-1 Dr. Millikan as serted, "offers greater natural ad vantages fcr tne pursuit of astron omy and geology than any other spot In the world. "With nearby mountains provid- i lng'altltude above the ground haze,! with temperatures moderate enough j to assure human efficiency in ob- serving, with relatively windless i heights and a large percentage of I cloudless nights, the astroohvslcal I scientist has a matchless opportu- ! nlty here to read the secrets of the : heavens." i No other locality offers the oppor turnltv for the structure envinper to study architecture designed to withstand and to a measure over come earth movements, Dr. Millikan declared. "Mountain ranges actually In the process of being built are located in this region," Dr. Millikan said. "Showing how nature has gono about forming the earth for millions and millions of years in the past and how the process will continue for millions and millions of vcars In the future. "Because the earth Is still wake ful, experts are able to study seis mology with the view of utilizing it in engineering to combat earth movements such as occur In Calif ornia.,, The building program of the In stitute, as detailed by Dr. Millikan. Includes ten structures, some of which are allready underway and all of which allready are financed. Another is the Atheneum, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Allen C.
