Ufa VOLUME II BOARDMAN, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1022 NUMBER 12 GENOA CONFERENCE DRIFTING ON ROOKS New Demands of Russian Sov iet Delegates Threaten Deadlock. LOCAL NOTES Genoa. The Genoa conference is drifting toward the rocks Again. Whether it can be kept from wreck age depends on the possibility of ad justing the new demands of the Rus sian soviet delegates with the position of the allied governments, who declare they will stand steadfastly by the reso lutions adopted at Cannes, on which the conference is founded. The situation is made more critical by the French premier's frank warn ing in his address at Rar-le-I)uc that France will withdraw from the con ference if she is unable to See that the ideas expressed by the French cabinet before parliament can triumph. These French practical demands in clude maintenance of the war repara tions figures, disbarment of all dis armament discussions and no chang ing of the existing treaties at Genoa. In addition, France insists on rigid adherence to the Cannes resolutions which call for the payment of Russia's pre-war debts and the restitution by the soviet of foreigners' property in Russia. The conference of experts on the Russian question broke up and ad journed sine die because the experts representing the powers found the Russians' new set of proposals abso lutely in contradiction to the soviet note accepting the allies' terms as a basis for future deliberations. Despite the serious outlook, the heads of the various delegations have not abandoned all hope. : y mm n n i iii .mi, EVENTS HAPPENING DURING WEEK Mr. and Mrs. M. L.

WILLOW CKKKK ROAD LOCATED It has been finally decided to lo cate the O-W Highway In Gilliam county down Willow Creek, along the fool of the bluffs. The original survey thru the creek bottom cut up several alfalfa fields, making the right-of-way costly to the county. Re locating the tome near the bluffs laves HiL cost to the county, as the commission so located it with the understanding that all claims for right-of-way damages be waived. This probably disposes of the pro , ior.nl to locate the O-W highway from Rhea siding to a point on the John Day highway south of Arlinc ton. Tho settlement of the matter appears to be satisfactory to nil con corned. to the Willow Creek pea pie, to Arlington, to Morrow county, and to the Gilliam county court.

N. Stanfield In an In terview in Poise predicts that c.ong- ss will pass the soldier bonus bill and that an adequate tariff relief unsure will be sent to President Harding. He made it clear that the agricultural industry should he given greater consideration from the War finance corporation and that he in tendfi to make a thorough investl- ,ii ion of this matter when he re tUrns to Washington to aee if It can- ioI be brought about. "1 realize that considerable Inter est is evident in Idaho and in Heine, which is the center of the sheep In dustry in the interniountain country, in the tariff measure" Bald Senator Stanfield when interviewed. " The present bill as returned by the finance committee provides for a :t: cents per pound tariff on wool. That wool is commonly known as Bcoured, but In reality is on the pure wool content. The statement seems io have been circulated widely by, 1 might say, unscrupulous ntanu facturera, that it is something more than the Payne-Altlrich bill and some thing less than the emergency tariff. Through their spread of this prop aganda they hope to create sentiment against the bill to its harm. The emergency act provided for a tariff at 15 cents a pound on greased wool, Which means $15 a hundred poundn, since approximately 40 per cent of he greased wool is grease and dirt, and not wool. Importers are paying 115 on til) pounds of real wool or at i lie rate of approximately 26 cents a lOUnd. With the new tariff fixed at 33 cents a pound It can be seen that I will be in reality approximately 8 :enta higher than the emergency tar iff on clean wool. "The present bill Is a little higher than i be emergency bill and double I bat of Hie Payne Aldrlch bill. It Is in honest bill and will do much when l is put into effect. As near as we an Judge it will about even up the inference between the cost of raising he wool here In order to compete .villi foreign exportatlons. "As to the soldier bonus measure I irmly believe that It will be passed oon. At Hie recent Republican Cau IUS there was a decision of 28 In favor of it to nine SgStBSl, I'or this reason as well as numerous others, I believe the bill will be passed and 1 think the President will sign it.
