ASKS CAMPAIGN
TO STIMULATE
DAIRY PRODUCTS
Pointing out that the supply of
dairy products has been increasing
rapidly during the past few months
wliile consumption has decreased
to a large extent, Sidney Miller, of
Woodburn. president of the Oregon
Dairymen's association, in an ad
dress before the Salem chamber of
commerce Monday urged concerted
action of the herd owners and busi
ness men of the state in an educa
tional program which would result
in placing milk and its products
more frequently upon tlie tables of
the families of the nation.
Miller pointed out that while
business interests of the state were
demanding that Russian lumber be
excluded from competition with the
Oregon brand, no concerted effort
has been hade toward protecting
the dairymen from Importations of
copra. He showed, however, that
w h i le there were 147 .000 tons of
copra delivered at the Port of Port
land during 1930, but 22.000 tons
had been brought into the same
port during the first nine months
of 1931.
"I would Impress upon the people
the value of dairy products to the
human family." Miller declared In
asking for action upon a campaign
of education. "I would not belittle
the efforts toward placing the facts
before the school children, but I
believe the parents are the ones to
educate. Statistics show that but
77 per cent of the men and but 72
per cent of the women drink milk.
Max Gehlhar, state director of
agriculture, in Introducing the
speaker, outlined the workings of
the Oregon Dairy Council, a newly
formed organization having for its
purpose the Increase of consump
tion of dairy products.

shoTscenTry
VALUE $5000
With (5000 worth of scenery on
the stage at the Grand Theater,
and 75 persons in the cast, the Elks
minstrel show, which will give its
first performance Monday night,
wiil be among the mast spectacular
theatrical offerings seen in Salem
in recent years.
It is pretty hard to draw a line
of demarcation between a profes
sional performance and a home-
talent production such as that to be
given by the united artists of the
Elks and tlie American Legion, as
sisted by some talent that is not af
filiated with eltlier organization. As
a matter of fact the big show has
been trained to the point of practi
cal perfection, and this, together
with the fact that some of the per
formers and directors have had
professional experience, will make
the performance an entertainment
feature of the first class.
Final dress rehearsal was held
Sunday. It went off like clock work
with everybody clicking, and the
entire cast is on its toes and rar
ing to go when the curtain goes
up at 8:15 o'clock Monday night.
A lot of Ingenuity has gone into
the assembling of the scenery and
the highest degree possible in stage
effects, it is believed, has been at
tained. with nothing left out that
would add to the elaborateness
necessary to put the show acrocs as
it has to be done for the satisfac
tion of a critical audience.
The performance will be In two
parts, and It is estimated that two
nours. perhaps a little more, will be
necessary for the presentation. A
special feature will be contributed
by the Barbara Barnes school of the
Dance. Lyman McDonald, who has
performed with credit in other
shows in Salem, will again serve as
interlocutor.
The sale of tickets has been rea
sonably satisfactory it was reported
Monday. Tlie proceeds are to be dl
vided equally between the Elks
and the American legion for their
Christmas charity funds.
Mrs Jav Graham of the North
Side addition in Stlvertrm is at ih"

SET HEARING
ON COLUMBIA
FOR JANUARY
Washington jPi A hearing be
fore the war department engineers
hi January on their proposed re
port against Immediate action on
the Columbia river development
and basic projects, was asked Mon
day by Senator Dill of Washington.
We are anxious, he said, to ex
pedite consideration and aclion on
this subject as much as possible."
In a letter to the department
concerning the Columbia basin
project Senator Dill said: "In your
statement regarding this report you
say there is no certainly that suffi
cient power could be sold to pay
for this project and assist in pro
viding water for irrigation purposes.
It is mv view that the report of
the district engineer is based upon
the theory that the project should
not be begun until the necessary
contracts for the sale of sufficient
power with sufficient profits have
been entered into by prospective
purcnasers oi power.
"We believe an oral hearing will
show we are Justified in asking
that this report be approved and
sent to congress now so we can
pass legislation based upon that
theory.
"Building of this project Is of
most vital concern to the north
west. People of the northwest need
this development badly. It will
supply employment; it will quicken
ousincss prospects of every kind
there; it will give work and new
hope to great numbers of people in
the northwest who are suffering so
severely from the effects of this de-
pression by providing for a vast :
supply of cheap hydro-elBrtrtc
power and by opening up new pos
sibilities for manufacturing as well
as a future production of agricul
tural products that will not compete
with general agriculture production
of the country."
Representative Robert R. Butler
of Oretfon said he wanted to study
the report thoroughly before com
menting. MANY ACCIDENTS
