ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1929
NUMBER 37
OREGON
RESTS
F
ORDERED CLOSED
Weather Adds To Danger
No Deer Hunting Until
General Rain.
Portland. Confronted with the
most dangerous fire hazards in years,
a'l of the 14 national forests n Or?
gon will be closed. The order was is-'
sued by C. M. Granger, district for
ester, when conclusive information
was given him that there is no im
mediate prospect of letup in extreme
ly poor visibility, low humidity and
dry weather. r . -
This is the second time in the his
tory of the state that all of its na
tional forests have been ordered clos
ed as a preventative measure against
forest fires. ' They were closed last
year on September 10, Granger said
that the smoke haze has become so
dense that lookout stations are prac
tically useless, as no fires can be spot
ted until they have grown virtually
beyond control. The order, he stated,
will stand until the first general rain.
Governor Patterson on Tuesday
issued a proclamation declaring the
deer season, which would open Sun
day, closed until a general rain comes
to make the forests safe again.
The order does not, however, .af
fect travel over regularly established
roads, camping at established camp
grounds, or travel to established re
sorts. Those who have their sum
mer homes in the mountains, for in
stance, may still go to them.
The hazards are not confined to
the national forests, either. Some of
the most serious .. potentially have
been outside national f orest boundar
ies, and F. A. Elliott, state forester,
announced that his office finds the fire
situation worse right now than ever
before. ;'
More than 2000 men have been
thrown into the line of battle against
some 200 fires in western Oregon
alone, with Coos and Curry counties
reporting the most serious fires.
There hundreds of fighters are try
ing desperately to keep ' the flames
from reaching hundreds of acres of
green timber and millions of feet of
valuable Port Orf ord cedar. All log
ging operations in the two counties
have been suspended and employes
have joined the fire fighters.
The fire danger in Wallowa section
i remains serious. During the past
Week two large fires have occurred
' In that county, the largest being on
the Imnaha, where 300 acres were
burned over before the flames were
brought under control. A crew of 30
men was engaged in fighting the fire
at that point.
Electric storms are said to have
been the cause. Two fires started on
Smith mountain during the early part
of that week and occupied the atten
tion of farmers in that section. The
fire was confined to timber land and
did not reach any of the farms in
that section.
The Colville, Chelan and Columbia
national forests in Washington will
be closed simultaneously with those
in Oregon. The Olympic, Wenatchee
and Rainier national forests already
have been closed. The Oregon forests
to be closed are: Mount Hood, Cas
cade, Santiam, Siuslaw, Umpqua, Si
skiyou, Fremont, Crater, Deschutes,
Malheur, Ochoco, Umatilla, Whitman
and Wallowa.

Light and Power Concerns
Pay $172,000,000 this Year
Taxes paid by the electric light and
nower companies In 1928 were the
highest on record, making a total of
1165,000,000, according to the Nation
al Electric Light Association. This is
about ten per cent of the amount col
lected by the companies,, from their
customers, so that ten cents out of
every dollar paid by the customer
goes to the government, local, state
or national, and not to the companies.
During the past fifteen years taxes
have increased almost twice as rapid
ly for the utilities as have their rev
enues from customers. In 1928,
revenues were approximately seven
times as great as they were in 1912,
but taxes were nearly thirteen times
as large. This rate of increase is
more than three and one-half timea
that of the steam railroads, whose
taxes are now only three and a half
times what they were In 1912,
The taxes that will be paid during
1929 are estimated as follows: elec
tric light and power $172,000,000;
electric railways, $62,000,000; manu
factured gas, $54,000,000.

Til Taylor Statue Will
Be Unveiled On First
Day Of the Round-Up
In the presence of 250 peace offi
cers from Oregoh, Washington, Cali
fornia and Idaho, Governor Patterson
will dedicate the statue to the late
Til Taylor, sheriff of Umatilla coun
ty, at Pendleton, Wednesday, Sep
tember 18, at 10:30 A. M. . Although
the monument is made in the image
of the sheriff who was killed in dis
charge of his duty, it is intended as
a monument to law and order and a
tribute to the old sheriffs of the fron
tier. , " .-. "'
The unveiling of the statue will
mark the opening day program of
the annual round-up at Pendleton,
says George C. Baer, business man
ager of the Round-Up association.
Invitations have been extended to
Governor Hartley of Washington and
Governor Baldridge of Idaho. Re
ports indicate that peace officers by
the score will assemble for the occa
sion and at least 250 have signified
their intention to be present Sheriff
Hurlburt of Multnomah, president of
the sheriff's association, has urged
each of the 36 sheriffs of Oregon to
attend. Delegations of police officers
from San Francisco and Seattle have
sent word they are coming.
For 22 years Til Taylor was sheriff.
Although a democrat, he was repeat
edly elected in a republican county
because of his efficiency. He was one
of the last of the frontier type of
sheriff and the monument is in memo
ry to that class of peace officers as
well as memorial to law enforcement.
Of heroic size, the equestrian statue
is striking. It is the work of A.
Phimister Proctor, who ' made the
statues of Roosevelt in Portland, "The
Circuit Rider" at Salem. "The Pio.
neer" at Eugene, "The Buckaroo" at
Denver and other noted pieces. The
figure of . Taylor was made from
photographs taken on his horse the
year Ben Olcott attended the round
up as governor, and every detail has
been carried out, even to the silver
trappings on the saddle, stirrups and
spurs. The working model wa3 made
in Rome and the bronze cast was
turned out in Vienna.
The Bculptor, Mr. Proctor, will be
present at the dedication, as will Mrs.
Tilman D. Taylor, widow of the sher
iff, who is with the Shrine hospital
for children, at Portland.

water departments combatting a stiff
breeze, managed to save nearby build
ings. Losses on the confectionery
are covered by insurance, according to
Miles Sparger, owner, but the theatre
is a total loss. T. W. Hewitt is owner
of the plumbing store.
Little could be done to check the
flames as they swept rapidly through

and operator of the theatre, had his
hands burned when the flames first
started.

SIT GONTRQL IS
BIG FARM PROBLEM
All Oregon Can Stop Losses
If the Modern Methods
Are Used.
Oregon State College. Scientists..
say' the stinkftitr smut of wheat ha
been the cause of greater loss to the
world than anv other cron rwafnr
disease, hence this common malady
oi grain is estimated by U. S. depart-
mens or agriculture officials at be
tween 1 to 2 million dollars annually.-
'
Seed treatment for smut Is an old
story for train irrowera of Orernn.
and in general they have kept well
versed in newest and best methods,
but there is still considerable lack of
uniformity, finds D. D. Hill, assistant
of the experiment station. 1
Considerable promise of relief from
losses has been held out through de
velopment of resistant erain varieties. ,
but complete success of these is com- -
pneatea by the fact that instead of
there being but one ' strain of the
common stinking smut there are sev
eral. Some new varieties that are
completely immune to one strain are
subject to others, and to the grower
or dealer 'smut ia smut, no matter
which of the five known strains is
involved. ,. ;
The dry treatment of seed wheat
with copper carbonate dust, as intro-
duced in this state by the experiment
station and extension service, givea
the most satisfactory smut control
now known, says Professor Hill. It ,
is not injurious to the germination
of grain and may be applied at any
time prior to seeding. If the treat
ing is done under an open shed with
good air circulation the irritating ef
fect of the dust on the workmen is
greatly lessened. ,
To be effective, the copper carbon
ate used requires 50 per cent metal
lic copper, that is it must be from
90 to 95 per .cent pur topper carboT -ate.
Such purity gives the compound
a light green rather than a blue color.
The compound is applied at the rati '
of two ounces per bushel. It is not
effective on barley or oats, liquid
formaldehyde being used for these.
A new gas treatment has been ex
perimented with at the Oregon station
but as yet it has not proved entirely
satisfactory.
