THE CAPITAL' JOURNAU. SALEM, OREGON f HTTRSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1937 OPERATION TO FOLLOW TREK TO OKANOGAN Okanogan. Wash., Jan. 31 U ! Frederick White, 24. miner, stricken with appendicitis last Saturday at the Isolated Azurite mine in the Cascade mountains, awaited sn operation In a hospital here today after dog teams, a plane and sn ambulance were called into use to bring him back to civilization. A state patrol ambulance com pleted the last lap of the hazardous trip just before midnight and phy sicians, who examined White early today reported he was In "good con dition." The youth's condition, made more serious by the high altitude of the mountain camp and the sub-zero temperature, was discovered by Dr. E. T. Murdock. who was called to examine. Murdock decided an attempt to perform an emergency operation with the crude facilities available would be too hazardous and by short wave radio made arrangements to bring hU desperately-Ul patient out of the mining camp. A plane, piloted by Bob Jonn son, carried George 8 tone baker and Clarence Freeman and their eight dogs and sled to Winthrop and they drove from that point up an unmarked trail 23 miles long to the mine. White ( wrapped In furs and blan kets, was placed on a crude stretcher on the sled and with Murdock "mushing" by his aide ready to per form an 'emergency operation, the trek back down the mountain was started. A state patrol ambulance, sent to Winthrop. was watting the ar rival of the sled and then fought; through heavy snow drifts and I around detours to Okanogan. Rescuers were reported on the verge of exhaustion when they reached Winthrop after fighting their way through snow and over icy slopes over the mountain. The original dog team was aug mented by additional dogs which were taken In to meet the rescue party and 10 dogs labored over the trail dragging the sled bearing White, while 10 men in the party puued a second sled on which rode the exhausted doctor. Doctors today said they would give White time to recover from his ordeal before they would per form the operation. WEST HAS PLAN FOR POLICE PENSIONS An ordinance diverting part or all or flne collected for gambling Into the police pension fund was put forward yesterday by former Gov ernor Oswald West as a method of raising police department pension runaa "without cost to the taxpay era. The plan, which West styled as so simple that It probably will not receive any serious consideration." referred especially to the Portland police department whose fund is depleted. The former governor declared the plan would kill two birds with one atone. It would stimulate a drive on gamblers and at the same time build up ' the pension fund. SENATORS PUT IN REPEALING BILL Repealing of the marketing agreement bill, passed In the 1935 special session. Is asked In the Oregon legislature In a measure pre sented by senators Burke and Mc Cornack. Pointing out that court decbians had made the law a "dead letter," tne measure would remove the law from the statute books. Although authorising agreements, the bill was never put into effect as the court decision followed closely upon enactment of the law. Another bill, entered In the after noon session by the Insurance com mittee of the senate, would raise the atate re.torn.lon fund from S25.00O per year to 150.000. The bill also authorizes the board of control to arrange for private Insurance on state bulMtnga. wj-xw w wwww v w w w '' SUPER VALUE -COUPO N Sijtn this Coupon and bring it to our store on Friday and Saturday and Ret A Regular $1.00 Dottle of Perfume had Thin Coupon Saves You .

Wash., Jan. 21 U.R Hoarding of "Town&end test dollars" by souvenir hunters threatened to day to wreck the first actual experi ment with the old age- pension plan. Mayor W. T. Price considered pro posing tin ordinance to make all hoarders pay double the money they are caught keeping out of circula tion. The mayor, who as the town's grocer, got ten of the- tanned dollars bills from C. C. Fleming, 63, unem- 1 ployed orcnard worker, .said the Townsend test wouldn't work unless the money was circulated rapidly and a two percent transactions tax paid by every person handling a dol ar. Fleming, given $200 to spend in a month, rested after his first spending spxve. He got rid or only $1.04 Wednesday, bringing his total outlay to $106.24 since he won the money Saturday night by popular vote at a dance. Fleming said he would merely win dow shop for a while now. The transactions tax so far has brought in nearly $9. but Townsend ites claim the tax will soon mount rapidly and furnish another $200 to keep the pension experiment going. Thus far $8.87 has been obtained from transaction taxes. It was hoped the tax, being cumulative and mounting each time a dollar changes hands, would provide another $200 by Feb. 17, when Fleming's present supply technically Is supposed to be liquidated, Each dollar bill which Fleming spends has a tag a Itched on which is written the name of each person through whose hands the money passes. Fleming took things easy yester day after a previous shopping spree which netted him a suit of store bought clothes, a barber's shave and haircut, a new dress and permanent for his wife. Fleming, a father of six child ren, played his Cinderella role cas ually yesterday. He spent $3.60 for cigars for his friends, 15 cents for cigarettes and paid his house rent of $20. I won't have any difficulty in getting rid of the $200 in one month.1 Fleming said. "I could even use more ff I had it." Merchants were reported eager to circulate the money and co-operate in building up the fund, which is be ing held in the Chelan bank. Local Townsendites believed the experi ment would "prove the validity of their plan. FOUR NEW BILLS ADDED IN HOUSE Only four bills were Introduced in the aiternoon session of the house Wednesday. The committee on labor and industry brought in two meas ures. The effect of the first would be to make warehouse receipts on lum ber and slabwood subject to labor er's leins. The second requires em ployers to forward, by mall, the wages unpaid to employes who have severed their connection with said employers. Representative Harrison. Linn, brought in his sixth bill to date. This measure provides for the foreclosure of chattel mortgages less than $100 in justice court and more than $100 as real property mortgages are fore closed. Representative Barnes, Mult nomah, Is the only other represen tative with his name on six bills so far. The fourth measure was Introduc ed by Representatives Fat land and French and was sponsored In the senate by Senator SUIwer. This mea sure relates only to administrative details regarding tax refunds on mo- tor vehicles. Broadacres John Wolfe's leg Is improving.

The man sought shel ter recently at Hotel de Mlnto and had pneumonia. He has been cured of the pneumonia, but the goitre makes It hard for him to breaths and he cant talk above a whisper. A local doctor has agreed to per form the operation without charge if someone will donate the cost of hospitalization. Since the first of the year when first aid service was added to tran sient care at Hotel de Mlnto a total of about 235 cases of Illness and in Jury hive been attended by Russell Hagy. who Is In charge of that part of tlie work. yl oui titiciiiiun io uie men on uie sick list Is handicapped! by lack of medical supplies. The attention of the public Is called to this so that anyone who wants to donate medi cine or supplies, or the money to buy them, will have opportunity to do so. These should not be given directly to the resort, saya Mr. Hagy. zut should be given through the Physicians and Surgeons Hospital association, so everything reaching the hotel will be professionally ap proved. Hospitalization of extreme cases is also a difficult matter, because of already filled beds at the hospitals and because the hospitals can't make a business of charity cases. The physicians of the community are taking a generous attitude, Mr. Hagy says. He recently appeared be fore the local medical society, and the doctors present agreed each to (rill half hmir nf hi llnu uah month on condition that either Dr. V V n.ihlln haMalth Afflw na ' Dr. V.
