ROSY OUTLOOK
FOR STEEL SEEN
BY MR, SCHWAB
New York, Feb. 18 (F) Charles
M. Schwab, chairman of the board
of Bethlehem Steel Corp., for the
first time in tnree years raaay 01
fered words of optimism on the out
look for the steel Industry.
The occasion was his seventy
fourth birthday.
H snldt "EvervthlnE seems to be
looking better, and I am able to 6ay
that I am an optimist, wun mucn
more conviction than has been pos
ihi in the najtt several years."
His office, overlooking the Ice-
filled Hudson, bulged wun reporter
nd cameramen the largest prefs
turnout seen In the Wall street sec
tion in several years.
"The steel Industry," he said, "Is
going to be developed by personal
inlflnMvp T Ilk ta comDare It with
a three-legged stool capital, labor
and management It won t stana u
you take any leg away."
nlutiicftlnv fhp future of the steel
Industry, he said, "It Is amazing to
gee tne developments wnicn nave
come about even during the darkest
days. Just think of the Improvement
Ji; the design of automobiles, tne in
troduction of stream-lined trains,
the rise In aviation, the develop
ment of radio, the new processes
and extensive building, all at a time
when one needed to believe In the
future of this country If these
things were to be worth while."
"The cure for unemployment In
America In the past has been in the
enlargement of existing industries
and In the rise of new ones. The
railroads, the automobile and oil
production are all examples of this
I am confident in the future of our
country, and I believe that If enter
prise is encouraged, better times arc
not far ahead."

FARMERS TO GET
COMPENSATION
FOR CONTRACTS
Passage by congrere of an appro,
prlatlon bill providing close to J300
000,000 for use by the AAA in wind'
ing up Its crop control programs ni'
validated by the supreme court, re.
moves all doubt that Oregon con
tract holders will be fully compen
sated lor compliance already per
formed prior to the rendering of the
court decision January 6, announc
es County Agent Harry L. Riches,
following word received from Wash
ington, D. C.
Estimates vary as to the amount
due Oregon farmers under these
contracts, but officials of the Ore
gon State college extension service
believe the figure for old contracts
alone will be around $1,340,000. Some
estimates have been even higher.
To this total may also be added
payments for compliance by wheat
growers on the new program con
tracts, applications for which had
been signed and compliance made
by winter wheat growers. Nothing
definite has been announced as to
this group, however, and further
word is awaited.
In preparation for cleaning up
the past obligations of the govern
ment under the crop control pro
gram, Oregon officials have been
notified from Washington to return
records and materials to county
control associations and have these
proceed with the work much as they
had been doing under past regula
tions. Meanwhile congress is working on
new agricultural adjustment legis
lation built around federal aid in a
soil conservation program which Is
expected to accomplish some of the
purposes of the AAA crop control
programs. It contains many features,
in fact, toward which the AAA was
gradually working in the transition
from the emergency to a permanent
policy of agricultural adjustment
and cooperation.
A financial report has just been
Issued showing total expenditures of
the AAA from its inception In May.
1933, to the end of 1935. The total
amounted to $1,480,057,513.25. Of the
total approximately 1100 million
dollars was paid to farmers for rent
al and benefit payments. About 75
million was used for removal and
conservation of surplus, and 157
million for drouth relief, food con
servation and disease eradication
operations. About 78 million was
used In administration, 60 per cent
of which was spent in the field ana
40 per cent at Washington.
The report for Oregon shows ben
efit and rental payments in this
state amounting to $7,808,769.08 un
der the wheat ($6,807,716.29) ana
corn-hog ($1,001,052.79) ' programs.
Marlon county farmers received
during that period a total of $175,-
993.41, divided as follows: Wheat
$80,141.09; corn-hoss $95,852.32.

GOOD
GARDENING
BAkKD SOIL FOR FLOWERS
When you plant flowers In seed
boxes for transplanting to the gar
den when tile weather la warmer,
the baking oven should be one of
your best Implements To prepare
soil for the box taxe half garden
loam and half fine sand. Sift It
through a slew, ana :f clods form
throw them out don t force them
through. Then bake the soil in the
oven temperature 200 to 350 de
grees. That will kill any lurking
weed seeds. Soil two or three Inches
deep In tlw box makes a good ger
mination bed. These, among others,
are good flower plant to start In
doors: chrysanthemum, marigold,
petunia, grass-pink, scarlet sage,
verbena.

east and west of the hundredth me
ridian. The shortage in western Ok
lahoma and western Nebraska was
reported as the worst recorded in
the last three years.
Wheat closed irregular off to
9s up compared with yesterday's fin
ish, May 91-, corn unchanged to
higher, May 61-7i, oats
advanced, and provisions 2 cents to
12 cents down.
Chicago, Feb. 18 (fl) Influenced
by record cold, wheat developed a
firm tone today against notaDJe
weakness of the Liverpool market
and a drop in sterling.
Rallies that soon more than over
came slight early declines were as
sociated with a dearth of offerings
of new crop deliveries. It was as
serted In some quarters that con
siderable doubt existed whether
snow covering in the United States
winter crop belt would be of much
benefit against intense cold which
has frozen the ground to such a
depth the snow is likely to melt and
disappear before the earth softens.
Talk also was current that existing
conditions pointed to probability of
unusual floods In the Ohio, Missis
sippi and Missouri valleys, destruc
tive to crops.
Better demand for domestic mills
also was a stimulus. Shipping pur-'
chases of liberal amounts of red
winter wheat In Chicago were re
ported. Likewise there were Kansas
City advices that despite some en
largement of receipts the Kansas
City demand exceeded the supply.
Corn and oats firmed with wheat.
Provisions were easy.

Deposits of Radium
Located Near Guiana
Boston (LP) Dr. Otto Vogt ' Von
SlckUigen. Haverford. Pa., bacteriol
ogist, has discovered what he believes
to be the largest radium deposit in
the world along the Corentyn river

French Cows Ride
Vacation Special
Chanibery, France IIP) A special
vacation train for cows Is the latest
Innovation of the French railroads.
One hundred and twenty-four de
luxe cows boarded the Paris-Lyons-Mediterranean
special recently to
pass the winter months In the sunny
climate of southern Provence. En
joying the same privileges as public
celebrities, these bovine passengers
were able to take advantage of a 10
per cent reduction in railroad fare.
Full fare was paid on the Journey
to Provence, but each owner was
presented to a certificate allowing
his cow a free return trio northward
next spring by another special train.

Spokesmen for the power industry,
were silent. The decision caused
dancing in the streets of Florence,
Ala., a community vitally affected by
the TVA program. In Wall Street
utility stocks dropped yesterday af
ter rising when speculators guessed
wrong on the forthcoming decision.
All sides agreed that the decisions
read by Chief Justice Hughes be
fore a tense, packed courtroom
with only Justice McReynolds dis
senting was a victory for the new
deal. How broad a one it was re
mained in dispute. ,
It was evident that many questions
involving TVA must await future
supreme court answers. The court,
calling special attention to the 11m
Ited scope of the opinion, ruled only
on constitutional Issues raised by
TVA's contract to buy power lines
from Alabama power company and
sell surplus energy to the company.
The court said it did not rule on
the constitutionality of the TVA
act. Besides power development, ac.
tlvlties carried on under the act in.

Industries and supplement agricul
ture In providing Jobs, improvement
of housing and education, flood con
trol, reforestation and a drive
against soil erosion.
Senator Norrls (R-Neb), author of
the act, and administration officials,
said all power projects now under
construction in this valley and in
the west would prove valid as mea
sured by yesterday's decision.
' At the same time new dealers won
dered whether they faced the Indef
inite delays involved in proving the
constitutionality of each project.
Senator Dickinson, of Iowa, n
publican presidential aspirant and
foe of the TVA program, declared
many government activities in the
Tennessee valley had not been ruled
upon. He also asserted the decision
left no constitutional ground for the
gigantic Passamaquoddy tide-harnessing
project In Maine.

STEELS SOAR TO
NEW HIGHS IN
FRANTIC BIDDING
New York, Feb. 18 (U Wall street
today forgot its depression caused
by the supreme court's TVA deci
sion yesterday and bid frantically
for steel shares in late market trad
ing today. Steels soared to new
highs and carried the industrial
average to a new high since 1931.
The whole market was lifted with
the steel shares. Utilities which had
been depressed further in the early
trading snapped back from the lows
but there was considerable nervous
ness In the group.
As the Industrials spurted ahead,
rails responded to favorable earn
ings reports for 1935 and higher car
loadings a record for 1936 for the
week ended last Saturday. Motor
and motor equipment shares were
strong. Aviation shares made new
highs. Railroad equipments mount
ed with the rails. American smelt
ing reached a new high at 69 up 2
points to head the copper-silver di
vision.
New highs were made by South
ern Pacific and Northern Pacific
Western Union Jumped more than
2 points.
Bonds turned higher along with
stocks under the lead of railroad
Issues. Utility bonds rallied along
with their stocks.
RHOTEN GETS $329
FROM DAIRY CO-OP
A judgment for $339 was awarded
by Judge L. H. McMahan yesterday
in favor of E. A. Bhoten, dairyman,
In a suit against the Dairy Cooper
ative association. The decree held
Rhoten to be the owner of "basic
averages or shipping rights."
It appears that a man named
Bowman was associated with Rho
ten in the dairy business from 1931
to 1933. The court decree did not
pass on the question whether Bow
man was a partner, but it held that
he could not. by the sale of a part
of the dairy herd, transfer the ship
ping richts in the association.
The decree held that Rhoten had
been unduly restricted in his ship
ping rights by the dairy association.
After October 1. 1934, it was held
that these rights were a matter for
adjustment by the Oregon milk
control board, and not by the co
operative association.
For the .reason that the case in
volves the status of shippers under
a cooperative agreement, it has con
siderable significance in the dairj
Industry of the state.
West Stayton Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
Bone have had as their guests Mr.
and Mrs. Bone of Colville, Wash
