Washington. A prediction that the
farmer would be in a worse position
after the new, tariff bill is enacted
than he was before the extra session
began was made today by Senator
George of Georgia, a democratic
member of one of the four senate fi
nance sub-committees now holding
hearings on the house tariff measure.
In a statement issued through the
democratic national committee, Sena
tor George declared it was more and
more apparent as the tariff hearings
progress, especially with respect to
wool, that "there is not to be a revi
sion of the tariff in the interest of ag
riculture or a limited revision in the
interest of depressed industry.
"If President Hoover desires to con
fine tariff revision within the limits
indicated in his message to the con
gress," he added, "it is now clear that
he must assume the responsibility of
leadership."
All through the hearings, the sena
tor declared, the farmer had been
"tracked by the manufacturer de
manding and receiving a compensa
tory duty every time an agricultural
product has been transferred from the
free list to the dutiable list or the
duty on an agricultural product has
been raised."
Since the producers of farm pro
ducts were demanding protection on
practically all of their ; products, and
were in a position to have their de
mands met through a coalition of the
democrats and independent western
republicans, the Georgian said it was
"obvious that the so-called compen
satory duties, which in many instan
ces run as high as 400 per cent above

a fair compensatory rate to the manu
facturers, will place upon the pro
ducers of nearly all farm products
a burden far in excess of the special
benefits received by any one of them."
That the western farm bloc mem
bers meant business when they re
cently organized and allotted tariff
subjects for study to each member is
indicated by the attendance at several
of the sub-committee sessions of mem
bers of the group. They lost by a
single vote an attempt to confine the
revision to agricultural products and
republican regulars declare openly
that they expect trouble from the
group when the bill reached the senate
of the floor.
Three sub-committees will proceed
with their hearings, taking testi
mony on metals, silk and sundries.

Hunting For Treasure
Of French Bachelors
On Weston Mountain
Weston Leader: More than 40
years ago two French bachelors who
are remembered as LeCompt and Bap
tiste made their home together on a
mountain ranch some 10 miles east of
Weston. LeCompt had teen the
blacksmith and Baptiste the farmer
on the Umatilla Indian reservation
when the late Major N. A. Cornoyer
was Indian agent. When he retired
they sought a home in the mountains
for their declining years.
It was aereed between the men
that when one of them died the other
was to succeed to the ownership of
the ranch. Baptiste was the first to
go and the property fell to LeCompt.
It is now known as the Charles Keen
place.
All of which preamble is by way
of explaining the locale of what for
years, according to local tradition, has
been the hiding place of buried treas
ure. LeCompt had money and loaned
it to his neighbors. It was noted
that when he would make a loan he
would always leave the house and re
turn withthe money. So the notion
went out that LeCompt's treasure was
buried near the house, and has per
sisted to this day.
After LeCompt's death' the house
was occupied by his nephew until it
burned down. The nephew is then
said to have made a thorough search
in and around the premises, digging
near and beneath the embers, but
whether or not his efforts were re
warded never became known. Years
afterward, when the place was owned
by the late John Keen, somebody dug
deep trenches on the premises. And
just last week, two men from Port
land and one from Camas, Washing
ton the latter a former resident here
went up the mountain and hunted
around in the rain on the old Le
Compt place. So far as known, their
trip was fruitless.
It is now the general belief of the
Weston Mountain neighborhood that
if there was ever any money on the
old LeCompt place it has long since
been found and taken away. Another
tradition is that an old boot full of
gold dust was buried on the W. H.
Gould place, but nobody has ever suc
ceeded in unearthing it.
WOODMEN PROTEST
Rural Mail Men Plan
Monument For Craig
Tom Craig, pioneer McKenzie pass
mail carrier, the story of whose tragic
death while following the line of duty
in the teeth of a raging blizzard is
known to every country postman in
Oregon, is to be immortalized with a
fitting monument to be erected on his
grave in the McKenzie pass.
Action to this end was taken by
the Oregon Association of Rural Let
ter Carriers at their annual conven
tion held at Eugene, last week-end.
Simultaneous with state conventions
of the national association of postal
clerks, the National . Association of
Letter Carriers and the auxiliary of
the Oregon Association of Rural Let
ter Carriers were held. More than 400
postal employes were in Eugene for
the four conventions.
The rural carriers voted to erect a
monument to Tom Craig's memory
tfer hearing a talk by C. A. Mc-
Mahon, who also carried mail by
horseback, snowshoes and skis over
McKenzie pass in the footsteps of the
martyred Tom Craig. Mr. McMahon
recalled the story of Mr. Craig's
death, how he undertook to carry his
mail across the pass despite the un
favorable weather and the fact that
he was feeling none too well, and how
his body was found curled up in his
cabin on the pass.
Oregon Wild Life
"The sight of real wild elk and deer
within plain view of the Roosevelt
highway was sufficient compensation
for our entire Western trip." So said
a wealthy Eastern tourist in Portland
the other day after he and his fam
ily, touring from Tillamook to Astoria
had observed a small herd of elk and
several deer below Seaside. "Those
of us from the East must depend upon
the zoos if we would know what
nature's wild things look like," he
continued. "In Oregon, it appears
that all one has to do is to jump in
to the car follow a highway and soon
be in deer and elk country." The lat
ter statement may be an exaggera
tion, but both deer and elk are often
seen along the Roosevelt highway.
Boy Burned By Wire
Bernard Schiller, 12, son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. T. Schiller of Prospect Point
near Walla Walla is recovering from
burns received when he came in con
tact with a telephone wire which had
fallen on a high-tension wire. The
boy's father grabbed an old inner
tube for protection from the wire and
succeeded in releasing the boy, who
was unconscious for 20 minutes.
EXTRA FEE COST
Multiple Assessments Un
lawful and Are Driving
Old Members Out.
Portland. Declaring "the order was
founded for the purpose of comfort
ing the sick by neighborly ministra
tions in the time of sorrow and dis
tress and not for the purpose of estab
lishing an old line insurance com
pany," the protest committee of the
Woodmen of the World has advised
its members against paying extra as
sessments.
"We feel that the extra assessments
are unlawful and made for the purpose
of driving out old members and re&
ommend that only the regular month.
ly assessment together with the camp
dues be paid," the executive commit
tee's communication reads. It was
signed by R. Friedman, Dan Kellaher
and L. E. Coulter, all parties to the
suit filed June 15 in the circuit court
of Marion , county, asking, among
other things, that a receiver be ap
pointed to take over the assets of the
defendant in Oregon and. hold them
for payment of plaintiffs and other
members similarly situated.
Members who have not changed
over into the legal reserve plan
branch of the order were assessed
twice for April, Bix times the original
premium for June and demands call
for ten assessments for July.
"These multiple assessments are
unreasonable and prohibitive and were
made in an attempt to drive out the
old members," said W. E. Richardson,
attorney for the protest committee
which had the suit filed.
Woodmen officials have until July
8 to answer complaint of the irate
objectors.
