MYSTERY MAN
OF SANTIAM IN
JAIL 30 DAYS
F. W. Foulkes, Jr.. erstwhile saw
mill magnate of the Saniiam who
recently was sentenced In justice
court here to 30 days In Jail for
posses ion of liquor, received a
second 30 day jail sentence from
Judge McMahan Wednesday on a
charge of passing a check without
sufficient funds In Uie bank. The
check was made out on a local
bank. . Judge McM&han ruled that
the jail sentences should run con
currently and he added on a $100
fine. Awhile back Foulkes pleaded
not guilty to the check charge but
Wednesday changed his plea to
guilty.
Foulkes for a time was the "mys
tery man of the Santiam' when he
started construction of a sawmill
above Detroit and report had it
that in a year or two whoever was
behind him contemplated construc
tion of a railroad extension up to
Whitewater. In fact it was largely
because of Uie mystery surrounding
Foulkes' operations that the coun
ty court rushed through county
road proceedings to the Linn coun
ty line to keep from being blocked
in a narrow pass above Idahna if a
railroad company decided to get
preference rights through the pass
which permitted but one operation
through there, either railroad
highway construction, without room
lor both.
Foulkes and others have also
been made defendants in litiga
tion involving construction of the
sawmui with a number of men em
ployed on the mill assignliur their

New Gasoline War
Checks Deliveries by
Big Producing Firms
Twenty-one and a half cents a gallon was the prevailing
price of gasoline at the pumps of independent dealers in Sa
lem Wednesday, while patrons of the pumps maintained by
we ou companies were paying 34
oenu a aaium. ana mere were in-
dicationa of a prolonged war to
compel the oil companies to reduce
wnoiesaie prices to a figure justl
fled by existing economic condi
tions and comparable to the pre
vailing price In Portland, the ln
Repre&entatives of come of the
largest Independent dealers here
said Wednesday tliat they were
prepared to carry the battle on to a
finish if the public will support
them in their stand against the
discrimination practiced by the oil
companies against gas dealers and
users nere.
"There is no Justification for the
differential against Salem and in
favor of Portland, said one large
dealer, "and If the public Is willing
to back us up we will do everything
we can to break up this conspiracy.
If there is any possible means of
aotng so we are going to put an
end to this arbitrary price fixing by
uie companies.
Anotlier dealer Intimated that
steps were being taken to lay the
price iixing matter Dei ore the fed
eral trade commission for investi
gation. At least one major producing and
distributing company, the Standard
on company, was Wednesday re
fusing to deliver gasoline to retail
dealer who refused to abide by
the company's fixed retail price of
34 cents a gallon, and the dealers
were discussing ways and means of
testing the legal right or the com
pany to enforce a fixed selling price.
Action of the Independents In
slashing the price to 2m cents was
precipitated, they said, by a reduc
tion in wholesale prices made to
Portland dealers by the companies
last week, which creates a differen
tial of four cents In favor of Port
land dealers with whom pump op
erators here have to compete among
motorists who are travelling con
stantly between Salem and Port
land. Wholesale prices here are still
held at 30 cents a gallon and the
dealers assert their margin for
handling the fuel is cut to 14 cents
a gallon by the necessity of main
taining a selling price proportion
ate to the Portland retail price.
The local dealers assert that the
wholesale price tn Portland has been
reduced to 16 cents a gallon, or four
cents below the Salem quotation.
They also complain that thev are
charged V's cents a gallon on ship
ments of gas from Portland, al
though the actual freight charge
paid by the oil companies Is only
slightly morn than a half cent a
gallon. They also allege that the
oil companies here have refused
to cut the wholseale price here pro
portionately with the 2' cent Port
land reduction.
SALEM GIRL WINS
FAME WITH VIOLIN
Playing- solo violin with a ereat
civic orchestra is an honor which
has seldom come to any Salem girl,
but little Miss Mildred Roberts,
dauchter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Ro
berts of this city is appearing as so

that Miss Roberts was going to Leip
slg a day or so alter the letter was
written to have an extra private
lesson with Marteau on her concert
number, as the famous teacher
would not be in Dresden until the
final rehearsal lor the concert. A
very fine Italian violin was loaned
Miss Roberts for the month and for
her use In the concert.
Mildreds days are well filled
now," writes Mrs. Roberts. "Only
irora 2 to a oclock three days a
week has she time to call her own.
Quartette two mornings a week, or
chestra and stringed instruments
two afternoons from 4 to 6 o'clock,
a week, harmony two times a week,
piano once, and five hours violin
practicing a day keeps her busy.
Some people write it Is too long for
her to study, bnt they do not think
when their children go to college for
lour years, they are required to
sruay almost all day; so It Mid has
four years on violin, the same time
as others take, what of it? And
when she is through she will have
something worth while, especially
getting it in Germany."
The letter closes with Mrs. Rob

ROTARY HEARS
OF OLD OREGON
Seated as In a classroom years
ago with Prof. John B. Horner,
head of the history department of
O. A. C. as teacher, members of the
Rotary club relived boyhood days
over again Wednesday noon, as the
venerable educator took the club
over a chart talk trip down through
the years from the time that Ore
gon once comprised a domain larg
er than the German empire and ex
tending from the Pacific ocean to
the Rocky mountains. In the group
were men who had sat in Prof.
EJbrner'a classrru as long as 35
years ago.
The nation mav have nanlcs but
never famines as long as Oregon
remains on the map. prof. Horner
asserted in tracing the evolution of
tne crate from the days of the Ore
gon territory. Run a line east and
west through the center of the state
and there Is sufficient acreage In
the northern half to equal Belgium,
Holland. Montenegro. Serbia and
Switzerland with Massachusetts,
Connecticut. Rhode Island, Ver
mont and Delaware In the south
ern half, Prof. Horner said. Addi
tional comparisons were given by
the speaker, who showed how the
six New England states occupied
territory auflicient to make up
only two-thirds of the state while
the entire state could contain
England, Wales, Scotland. Ireland
and have enough territory left for
another Rhode Island.
Oregon was described as the
"mother" of the vast northwest
territory with Salem once the cap
ital of that section now designated
as Oregon, Washington, Idaho
Montana and part of Wyoming.

"They are suggestive of ways In
which the law may be violated, and
accordingly increase the violation
of the law.
The case with which they can
be purchased Is especially to be
deplored, because of the temptation
to the young people, for their pos

be following the example of their

the practice is In defiance of the

HUG DECLARES
HEALTH UNIT'S
WORTH SHOWN
Leslie junior high school would be
closed at the present time if the
Marion county health unit had not
been on hand to take care of the
situation which arose when one of
the instructors of that school be
came ill from diphtheria Saturday,
according to Superintendent George
Hug Wednesday in lauding Uie work
which the unit has done In coi;
nection with Salem schools.
: Several years ago, before the unit
was established, a case of diph
theria meant the closing of school
and many anxious hours for parents
who had no way of knowing wheth
er their children were protected
agcinst the disease or not. Hug
said. Hug pointed out that form
erly the closing of schools for con
taglous diseases was common, and
contrasted the days before health
education and protection with the
present situation at Leslie, where
the public health doctors and nurs
es were available for Instant ser
vice in seeking diphtheria carriers
or potential cases that might be a
source of danger to others in the
school, and the immediate toxin
anti-toxtn immunization clinic
which was being held at the school
during the fore part of this week.
In this one case alone. Hug stated,
the service of the health unit was
Invaluable not only for the saving
in money it meant to the tax
payers to keep the schools going,
Dut in tne protection of the ex
posed school children and teachers.
Salem school children have Im
proved vastly in health habits,
cleanliness, neatness and In general
health since the advent of the
health unit, claimed Hug. The pro
gram of health education put on in
the schools under the sponsirship
of the unit was reflected cot only
in school life but carried to the
children's homes and made an Im
pression on the community In een
eral, he stated. The comprehensive
program of physical and dental ex
aminations made In all city schools
in addition to the county schools,
by health unit officials was highly
commended by Hug.
"We already are beginning to reap
the benefits of the unit's prenatal
preschool child work In the fine,
healthy classes of beginners In Sa
lem schools" stated the school head.
"Children who go to school each
day, who are healthy and have no
physical ailments to distract their
minds from their studies are pay
ing a dividend right now in Increas
ed classroom efficiency. And chil-
aren wno come to Salem schools
from other school ' systems can al
most be picked out of a class room
for their lack of health background
until they have worked into health 1
projects here. The unit Is teaching!
these young folks how to live, for!
there is no greater happiness in
life than health."
"I have no desire to enter Into
the present controversy regarding
the health unit, which Is mainly
economical." stated Hug. "But I do
think that acknowledgement should
oe made to the unit by the city
school system for their "outstanding
woric witn tne scnooi children.'
LEGGEASKSTEST
'S
Washington (LP) Plans for the
senate agriculture committee meet
ing summoned by Chairman Mc-
Nary for next Monday appeared
Wednesday to envisage an Informal
fanners' referendum to the govern
ment's wheat buying program.
Chairman Legge of the federal
farm board, it Is understood, plans
next Monday to present to lead
ers of the three great farmers or
ganizations, fhe buying program of
tne urain stabilization corporation.
More than 100.000.000 busliela of
wheat already have been purchased
and the administration Is prepared
to give Legge authority and funds
for practically unlimited buying.
L. J. Tabor, matter of the na
tional grange; C. E. Huff, of the
Farmers' union, and 8. H. Thorn p- I
son, of the American farm bureau.
will be urged after Legge's state
ment to align their organlzatioai
behind the admin titration's efforts
to prevent change at this time in
the agriculture marketing act.
The administration Idea Is that
this unprecedented peace time wheat
operation with government funds
should be given an opportunity to
prove or disprove Its economic value
oerore further change is made in
the act. This would commit the
farm organizations to nothing more
than delay with respect to amend
ment of the legislation under which
the farm board and the stabilization
corporation operate.
Legge discussed the government
buying In a speech here Tuesday
ntght before the Association of Land
Grant colleges and universities. He
said seasonal surpluses resulting
from heavy yields in one particular
year may be dealt with successful
ly If a surplus can be bought up
and carried over.
"But," he warned, 'continuous
surplus accumulation constantly
growing larger Is something which
no stabilization effort can deal with
successful ly."
Members of the Salem breakfast
club will hold tlwir regular weekly
brenkfa.it meeting In the silver
grille st the Gray Belle Wednesday
mornlrur beginning at 7:45 o'clock.
The club specifically bars the
"nier.kT" type nf proirram.
