NEVIN NATIONAL NEWS
Washington, D. C., Jan. 1925.—
The House on January 14, passed
the so-called McFadden Bill, the
outstanding provision o f which is
that it authorizes member banks of
the Federal Reserve system (in
states which permit state banks to
have branches) to establish branch
banks, but limits such branch banks
to the city in which the parent
bank is located, and does not allow
a national bank in a city o f less
than 25,000 inhanitanta to have a
branch bank.
The purpose is to
give national banks the same op­
portunity for business as state
banka have, but it was apparent
from the debate which ran for
three days, that if the states had
net inaugurated the branch bank­
ing system, the house would not
have passed tfce bill.
The committee on appropriations,
at the request o f Congressman W.
C. Hawley, will report an appropria­
tion o f at least $85,000 to begin the
construction o f a modern system
o f aids to navigation on the Colum­
bia river. The total cost o f this
system
will
be
$100,000. The
budget did not include this item,
b -t the necessity for the aids is so
g’-e.-.t that the committee took fa-
vorabl r tier, and will report suf­
ficient to complete the system in
the newt congress.
The comr.rttee on Interstate and
Fore'gn commerce favorably report­
ed Hawley's bill for the con-
¡ffer-tion o f a drawbridge over
lock No. 4. at Oregon City, to afford
means o f transportation from the
main ¿and to the paper milla.

Primary Amendment Proposed.
Two proposed amendments to the
direct primary law, calling for con-
vontlons have appeared. The Mills
bill provides for a post-primary nomin-
sting convention, and a bill sponsored
by the Jackson county delegation pro-
vides for a pre-primary recommending
convention. The Mills bill was report-
ed back by the house judiciary com-
mittee without recommendation. These
bills will undoubtedly provoke a flood
of oratory.
The drive for more normal schools
for Oregon opened in the house, when
delegations in both houses from Jack-
son. Josephine and Klamath counties,
supported by some scattering mem-
bers, introduced bouse bill No. 87, in-
tended to rehabilitate the Ashland nor-
mal.
Simultaneously In the senate a bill
was introduced to abolish, formally,

COUNTY COURT NAMES
ROAD SUPERVISORS
The County Court last week com­
pleted a list of 61 appointees as road
supervisors o f this county to serve
during 1925.
The appointments
were announced after several ses­
sions had been held to select the
road builders. Road district meet­
ings were held in November, 1924,
in most o f the districts and road
supervisors were recommended in
these districts at this time. Many
petitions have since been filed with
the Court in Oregon City asking
the appointment o f certain men in
the respective sections.
There are 73 road districts in
the county at present, but only 61
supervisors have been named.
In
districts one to ten, inclusive, there
are no supervisors named as these
districts comprise the cities and
towns o f Oregon City, West Linn,
Oswego,
Milwaukie,
Gladstone,
Sandy, Estacada, Canby, Barlow and
Molalla. In district No. 12 no su­
pervisor has as yet been named.
Supervisors named for the year
in this vicinity are: District 30,
George Foreman; 36, J. E. LeCroy;
38, Henry Cromer; 39, E. T. Da­
vis; 40, A. H. Miller; 41, Joseph
DeShazer; 53, J. W. Marrs; 54,
Stanford Cox; 58, W. O. Echoles;
59, Fred Hoffmeister.

Wm. Still, a resident of this
was captured last
Thursday night at Troutdale just
as he had finished holding up the
Troutdale pool hall. It is report­
ed that Still had been seen about
the streets of Troutdale, Thurs­
day and waited that evening
until the pool hall of Tiller and
Loser was well Ailed when he
entered and with a drawn revol­
ver ordered all hands up.
The robber called on one of
the Troutdale citizens, to riAe
their pockets while he stood
guard. This being Anished he
stepped back of the counter and
riAed the cash register but over­
looked a wallet containing about
$ 50 in currency. He then order­
ed all to remain quiet, and taking
a shot at an electric light which
he missed, he backed out of the
hall.
While the robbery was being
staged, Jim Simone and Geoge
Wilcox, residents of Troutdale,
passed by the hall and seeing the
crowd w i t h uplifted hands,
hurriedly secured guns and re­
turned to the scene just as the
robber emerged from the hall.
He moved as if to draw a gun.
The men fired and one of the
bullets struck Still in the left
h i p . Although wounded he
made an attempt to reach his
car but was surrounded. He
offered no resistance and turned
over his gun and cash to those
who helped him back to the hail
to await the arrival of the ofiicera
who took him in charge.
Still claims in his statements
to officials that he has been oper­
ating in the eastern parts of
Clackamas and M u l t n o m a h
counties for a number of weeks
and during that time has staged
a number of holdups.
Still is an ex-service man and
son of Mr. and Mrs. Still of Eagle
Creek. He has a wife and three
children who have been living
with him on their ranch in
Springwater.
Immediately following h is
capture, the Multnomah authori-
tier were notified and took him
in charge. He was removed to
the hospital and later to the
county jail. Multnomah county
turned him over to Clackamas.

FORESTRY:.. WHAT IS IT? ....
Forestry is not some vague theo­
ry; it is not, "Woodman Spare That
Tree” oratory. Forestry is the ba­
sis o f our civilization. It has been
variously defined as a
polncy, a
science, an art and a business. It
is all o f them.
Briefly, forestry is the growing
and wise use o f trees for lumber,
It means the growing o f timber on
land unsuited for other use.
It
keeps such land busy continuously
producing timber and other forest
products for the benefit o f mankind.
It treats the forests as a series of
agricultural crops, to be grown,
cared for and harvested in uninter­
rupted succession. A forest is not
a mine, to be worked out and aban­
doned.
Forestry seeks to make
the land yield just as much in the
way o f forest products as is possi­
ble.
Foresters recognize their crop as
a necessity in industry and in the
life o f every civilized man, but be­
fore they can apply fully the science
and art o f forestry to make the
forests o f this country yield the
greatest good to mankind, certain
:
things are necessary.
Laws must
be revised, policies worked out,
,
money made available, and man-
caused forest fires prevented.
To
do these things, public education
is needed.
Citizens must know
what forestry is and what its bene­
fits are before they will want to
have
forestry
practiced.— U. S.
