Berlin Newspaper Attacks Vatican Berlin, July 21 (U.B The influ ential newspaper Angrlff published a broadside attack today against the Vatican. It was interpreted as serving to prepare public opinion for official invalidation of the concordat with the Vatican because of the dispute between the Reich and the Holy See over the treatment of the church in Germany. The article was headlined, "Pul pits War Against Reich Who Broke the Concordat?" It recalled recent anti-German declarations by Catholic dignitaries. Death taxes collected in England show that 13 millionaires died there in the last year. PRESCRIPTIONS Filled Carefully and Promptly Ql'ISENBERRVS CENTRAL PHARMACY 410 State ph. 9123 ;2 i 32: j!

Sweet Home Booming As Logical Center of Lumbering Activity Albany, July 21 (P) Sweet Home, already growing by leaps and bounds as the result of revived lumbering activi ties, is destined to enjoy further growth for many years to come, Oregon electric railway offl- clals, sawmill operators and high way commission engineers said at a public utilities commission hearing here yesterday. Witnesses agreed that Sweet Home Is the logical center for ex tensive milling operations incidental to the opening up of the vast tim ber tracts which are tributary to it in eastern Linn county. C. C. Cameron, who is launching a sawmill enterprise at Sweet Home, said that Linn county's standing timber Is eclipsed in ex tent only by two other counties In the United States, and most of it will pass through Sweet Home or will be milled there. A. J. Witchell, Oregon Electric engineer, said that the timber area In the Sweet Home territory totals 20 billions of feet. The occasion for the hearing was the petition of the Oregon Electric railway for permission to construct a passing track at Sweet Home, crossing the Santlam highway. Witchell and E. B. Heath. O.

The Oregon electric plans to dou ble its present train service immedi ately and contemplates further trains without limitation, Witchell added. H. G. Smith, state highway com mission construction engineer, tes tified that In his opinion the pro posed passing track would increase highway traffic hazards, particu larly In view of prospective increase in travel on the Santiam highway. As to this road he predicted that contracts for completion will be awarded by the highway commis sion next year. John Beakey, highway traffic engineer, testified similarly and asserted that the South Santiam highway will rank In importance second only to the Waplnitia road LOW PRICES $8.15 $9,05 $9,55 $11.00 5.2.)xl8 V)0xl7 'i.OOxH, .'0x16 Street I i m i t . 7 among those crossing the Cascade mountains.
