BRITISH BAN ON
RUSSIA TO AID
COAST LUMBER
Seattle. Wash.. April 19 (JPl A
possibility that the embargo placed
upon Russian lumber Imports today
by Great Britain may aid soft wood
lumber export soles in Oregon and
Washington and particularly Bri
tish Columbia, was held out today
in a statement by the West Coast
Lumbermen's association.
The association, however, pointed
out that Russia, denied the British
market to which she sold 48 percent
of her exported lumber last year,
may decide to "dump" the lumber
elsewhere, threatening International
number trade at other points.
The (4 a thousand import tax on
lumber levied by this country would
not keep Russia from "dumping" a
half million feet of lumber in the
states, if she wanted to, in the opin
ion of the association.
If the embargo is maintained, the
association believes Great Britain
will probably first turn to the Baltic
countries for her lumber. However,
reports from the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce have indi
cated low stocks in these countries,
Finland, Sweden and Norway, are
low because of tack of demand dur
ing the past three years.
"The effects of the embargo re
ported as placed by Great Britain
on Russian lumber snipments, u
the action remains in force for any
length ot time, will be felt In the
lumber trade throughout the world,"
the association's statement said.
"It may be of great Importance
to the lumber industry of Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia,
depending on the duration of the
embargo and the amount of stock on
hand in Sweden, Finland and Nor
way. "However, if the pound continues
to go up and the dollar down, we
may be able to move into the mar
ket. Due to superior manufacturing
conditions we can get lumber into
shape in about a week or 10 days,
whereas it takes six months in the
Baltic states."
The association revealed that
Russia has taken over much of the
door export business, which former
ly went to Washington state, and
that the embargo might put new
life into that division.
SCHERER ELECTED
BY PRESBYTERIANS
Portland, Ore., April 19 (P) Un
less unexpected financial aid be
comes available the Oregon Presby
tery will send no commissioners to
the general assembly of the Presby
terian church to be held in Colum
bus, Ohio, next month.
This decision was reached at a
meeting here of representatives
from Presbyterian churches In
northwest Oregon.
The Oregon churchmen voted
to encourage a change in the con
stitution of the church at large
providing for a general assembly
every two years instead of every
year, and to reduce the aggregate
delegation from 1,000 to 500.
The Portland Presbytery com
prises 42 churches In northwest
Oregon and is entitled to sue com
missioners, three pastors and three
laymen, at the general assembly.
One hundred and fifty bronze
emblems, for distribution to mem
bers of the Future Craftsmen of
America throughout the state have
been received by T. T. Mackenzie,
director of vocational education In

i nthe form of a shield with the
letters "F. C. A." at three points.
A gear is superimposed upon a
glove and within the gear are the

today. Salem will have no represen
tatives in the Future Farmers divi

would probably use the lineup which
played against nervals last week

A little better defensive work In

POETIC NAMES
SELECTEO FOR
OREGON MINES
Oregon miners, who have dug and
delved in search of fortune that
more often than not eluded them,
have an occasional imaginative twist
of mind, a persual of the names of
mining companies shows.
Hope, so some epigramlst said.
springs eternal, and it Is presumab
ly that eternal hope that led to the
naming of some of the mines of
Oregon. For Instance, there is the
Cinderella at Halsey. It is not re
corded that the Cinderella produced
gold that like magic changed the
life of her founder, but ft is appar
ent that the owner hoped she would,
and that he knew his fairy tales.
Hope, by the way, is the name of a
Medford mine.
Then of course there would be a
Bonanza, all mining states have one
or more of them, which supposedly
produce gold in great quantities to
the delight of everyone. Along the
same line of thought is the Cornu
copia, the horn of plenty, at Baker,
and the Eldorado, the fabulous city
of good fortune, at Weston.
Someone who remembered the
story of the king who turned every
thing he touched to gold christened
the Midas gold mine near Medford,
but the tale of golden touch which
might have been given the Oregon
man remains untold. The Green
Back mine was founded, evidently
by a man who considered other
forms of currency Just as good as
gold.
The discoverer of the Lucky Boy
mine at Blue river considered him
self just that at first, and Bullion
Mountain, at Grants Pass, was ap
parently over-optimfstlcally named.
A miner who thought he had struck
It richer than most other men chris
tened the Daddy Lode at Baker.
This can be matched with the Mo
ther Lode, also at Baker. The Gem
at Baker was a good producer.
Whoever named the Golden Cross
mine at Bend may or may not have
been an admirer of William Jen
nings Bryan, but he apparently
knew his politics. So did the man
who named the Gold Standard ftt
Ashland.
Someone added a Spanish touch
with the El Oro at Baker. There is
a touch of the Old West glamour in
the name of the Jack Pott at Grants
Pass, and how the High Bar at
Burns came to be named can be
guessed. There are many versions as
to the origin of the name Jump-off-Joe
located near Grants Pass, and
one guess is as good as another.
The Red Boy at Baker can be
matched with the Yellow Boy in
the same territory. The latter may
have been named for some of the
Chinese miners who had phenom
onal luck occasionally in the early
days of Oregon. The Red Bird and
the Cardinal, also at Baker, may be
added to the color scheme. The Ti
tan mine at La Grande must have
been named by someone with at
least a smattering of classical his
tory, while the Giraffe was prob
acy only a fantasy.
Names of girls or women figure In
Oregon mining too. Most noted was
the Josephine, for which Josephine
county was eventually named. Oth
ers include the May Belle, Salem;
Pearl, Central Point; Rowena,
Springfield; and possibly, the Vir
tue, Baker.
Geographical names are found In
the Flagstaff, Baker; Polar Star,
Portland; Rising Sun, Canyon City;
Tunis, Portland; and Vesuvius, Eu
gene. There are approximately 250 min
ing companies chartered for oper
ation in Oregon, In addition to num
erous independent operators. In ad
dition to gold, other minerals and
metals are fcound such as silver,
copper, mercury, iron, coal, oil, gas,
and building stone.
JAPS MAY BUY
SOVIET INTEREST
IN RAIL SYSTEM
Tokyo, April 19 (IP A foreign
office spokesman intimated today
that Japan might seek to purchase
Soviet Russia's Interest in the Chi
nese Eastern railroad in behalf of
Manchoukuo.
The spokesman denied Japan had
been responsible for - difficulties
along the important rail line which
inspired a sharp note of protest
from Leo Karakhan, Soviet com
missar for foreign affairs, which was
forwarded to Tokyo yesterday. Ka
rakhan made his "primary error,"
the spokesman said, in assuming
that Japanese members of the Man
choukuo government received orders
from Tokyo.
The nurchase scheme now under
consideration would call' for cancel
lation of Japanese debt claims
against Russia in return for the
Soviet's half interest in the road
The debt claims total 500,000,000
yen. The spokesman emphasized
that if any cash outlay were de
manded, Japan would not be inter
ested. Japanese officials studied the
text of Karakhan's protest in which
he accused the Japanese of violat
ing an agreement to protect Soviet
property, and charged that Man
choukuo authorities had counte
nanced bandit raids on the road
and imprisoned Soviet employes.
Foreign Minister Takashl Uchida
will reply to Karakhan orally
through the Russian ambassador t
his convenience, the spokesman
said. He intimated that Uchida
would insist upon a direct Manchou
kuo-Soviet solution of the difficul
ties without Japanese collaboration.

STORMY LIFE
OF JUDGE ENDS
Boston, April 19 rp) Webster
Thayer, the Massachusetts Judge
who pronounced sentence of death
upon Nicholas Sacco and Barthol
mew Vanzetti, was dead today at
the age of 75.
The jurist succumbed to a cerebral
embolism, suffered Friday in his
room at the University club here,
and his condition had been too crit
ical for him to be moved. His wife
was with, him from the time he was
stricken.
Judge Thayer's conduct of the
trial in 1930 of Sacco and Vanzetti,
worker radicals charged with shoot
ing a paymaster and his guard
during a . holdup, his denial of a
new trial for the convicted men,
and his imposition of the death
penalty seven years later, caused
him to be one of the most bitterly
attacked judges in legal history,
Likewise, he was one of the most
stoutly defended.
Social issues grew out of the trial
which have reverberated around the
world. Each anniversary of the
execution on August 23, 1927, have
been marked by meetings In various
countries, and the names became
a symbol among liberal groups.
Last fall the Thayer's home in
Worcester was destroyed by a bomb
which slightly wounded Mrs. Thay
er, and a movement was pending
in legislature to reimburse the Jur
ist $25,000 damages. After the
bombing a state trooper in plain
clothes was assigned to guard the
judge and remained with him wher
ever he went.
