WHEAT GQNFEREflGE
IHTERERTS FARMERS
Three Day Pendleton Meet
ing Source of Much Valu-'
able Information.
(By Chase Garfield)
: That the wheat farmers of Ath
ena and vicinity are much interested
in the- cooperative marketiuf"pro
posals of the federal farm board was
evidenced by a " representative at
tendance from this community at the
wheat conference held this week in
' Pendleton.
; Among those present were: Alex
Mclntyre, A. R. Coppock, Henry
, - Koepke, Flint Johns, Sim Dickenson,
W. S. Ferguson, J. H. Booher and
W. C. Garfield of Athena; A. D. Roth
rock, Alvin and I. - A. . Christphor,
Frank Duff and E. R. Enbysk of
Adams and George Carmichael of
Weston. -. . . ,
While the problems of cheaper
transportation to tidewater through
further development of the Columbia
river, improvements in federal grain
grades and other matters were right
ly emphasized upon the program of
the conference, the cooperative mar
keting movement was the Vital topic,
and as a result of the lucid explana
tion of this matter by H. E. Golds
worthy, secretary of the North Pacific
regional group as formed by Eastern
Washington farmers, with headquar
ters in Whitman county, those who
attended gained a knowledge of the
plan of organization proposed by the
farm board.
All were much' impressed by Mr,
Goldsworthy's statement to the effect
that neither the regional group, nor
anyone else was going to send high-
powered salesmen or representatives
to get farmers' signatures on the dot
ted line, and that it was entirely up
to the farmers themselves to deter-,
mine whether they were going to
take ' advantage of the opportunity
for united marketing offered by, the
governments Jthe United States,' and
if so, to Initiate their own organiza
tion. ' ' . . ; - ''
This being so, it is now up to the
grain men of Umatilla county to say
whether they are going to take ad
vantage of the federal marketing ma
chinery. Mr. Goldsworthy declared
that the only opposition which had
been encountered . in Washington
came from small cooperative ware
house, elevator and milling interests.
In Whitman county alone, over 6,000
000 bushels of wheat have been sign
ed up in the cooperative, and all the
other grain counties of that state
have joined the movement in force.
Sherman county, Oregon, is strong
for the movement in this state and
now many leading farmers of this
county are becoming interested in the
matter and are proceeding with plans
for organizing. It is believed that
further action will be taken soon.
""" Contracts will be ready for submis
sion to cooperative groups within a
week. ,
As explained by Mr. Goldsworthy,
members of a cooperative must pur
chase a $30 share of stock in it for
each thousand bushels of wheat
marketed by those members. They
can pay this ten per cent down and
the balance in about four or five
years at six per cent, and he believes
that profits or dividends of the as
sociation will take care of the pay
ments. The association will probably loan
more on wheat contracted by a stock
holder and charge him a less rate of
interest than it will in the case of a
non-stockholder.- Then he has four
choices in the contract for the mar
keting of his wheat, which, in gener
al, will be done under direction of a
national manager, who will ; b-j a
highly trained expert. With several
hundred million bushels under his
hnnA. this national manaeer. would
be able to exert a tremendou3 in
fluence over the price of wheat.

. Patterson Estate, $11,000
. ' The will of I. L. Patterson, late
governor of Oregon has been admit
ted to probate in an order signed by
County Judge Hawkins at Dallas.
The instrument was drawn up Sep
tember 17, 1898, and never had been
charged. Under it, the widow, Mary
E. Patterson, 67, is named executrix.
Their two sons, Lee Patterson, 40,
and Phillip W. Patterson, 38, both of
Portland, were bequeathed $5 each,
with the balance to go to their
mother.
Fishing-Hunting Licenses
and Not .the Taxpayers
Keep Game Commission
Portland. There still, lingers in
the minds of many Oregon taxpay
ers the mistaken idea that they are
annually assessed for the carrying
out of the work of the state game
commission, according to Harold Clif
ford, state game warden. On several
occasions complaints have reached
the office of the commission to the ef
fect that taxpayer's money was being
wasted by various activities , in the
propagotion and protection of fish
and game.
"Not one cent of state revenue goes
into the treasury of the commission,"
say3 Mr. Clifford. "Our main revenue
comes through the sale of licenses.
The sportsman annually pays for his
license and that money, in its entire
ty goes into the game . protection
fund. Where arrests are made and
convictions obtained one half of the
money from fines goes into the
treasury of the county in which the
arrests were made. The other half
goes to the commission. Thus it
may be seen that the V commission
takes from rather than adds to the
load of the taxpayers." .
The records of the state game com
mission show that trapping is a con
siderable industry in Oregon. Up to
this time 3120 general trapping
licenses have been issued by the com
mission, and there have been 3-w
beaver licenses sold. Each of these
cost the applicants two dollars The
trapping season will close on Febru
ary 28. . ; ,: ,
Geese hunters next fall will find a
conflict between state and federal
laws. Under the Oregon law eight
geese is the day limit, while the new
federal rule scheduled to go into ef
fect next season sets the limit at
four.. As the state legislature does
not meet until 1931 some . method
must be worked out by the game
commission to prevent a conflict :n
the state and federal laws. A case
might come up where a , man with
eight geese would pass inspection by
a state game warden and then ba ar
rested by a federal officer for having
four birds above the limit. .
May Ask the Government I
or rayment maian lax
That there may be an opportunity
whereby Umatilla county can ", be
reimbursed by the federal government
for taxes which it cannot collect on
lands in the Umatilla Indian reserva
tion held in trust by the government
for the Indians, may readily be seen
from action taken early, this week
by county commissioners of Klamath
county, where there is a parallel
case, , says the East Oregonian.
Ref undine of Umatilla county of
over $5,000,000 could be asked in a
bill which might be presented before
congress. That amount, roughly
speaking, represents the sum that
would have been paid the county on
the reservation lands over a period
of years had they been owned pri
vately. ; - ,
County Judge I. M. Schannep hus
pointed out a similarity between the
case of this county and that of the
counties involved in the O. and C.
land grant cases. Congressman Ro
bert R. Butler, in a letter written to
Judge Schannep over a year ago, ex
pressed the belief that "arguments"
for the reimbursement to counties on
account of non taxable government
lands, "from the standpoint of equity
might be made."
The Use of Electricity In
American Homes Essential
The electrification of the Amer
can farm and the use of service in
the farm home are essential to
modern farm life, and notable factors
in, farm relief, according to Congress
man F. S. Purnell, in an address be
fore the Rural Electric Conference at
Purdue University.
"More is involved in the rural
electrification movement ... than the
mere sale of electric current to the
farmers by the power companies,"
he said.
"For the past ten years, we have
been seeking a way to put agricul
ture on an equality with industry.
Electricity ia the universal power for
industry and has made possible the
marvelous development we have wit
nessed in manufacture in this coun
try. Agriculture must" follow the
lead of industry in this regard 83 well
as others if it is to succeed.
"My own study of this question has
convinced me that the introduction
of electricity into the activities of the
farm is almost invariably followed
by improved home conditions as well
as increased profits."

Helix came to town with two good
fast-playing teams and both games
were cleanly played and wonderfully
well refereed by McMurdo of Walla
Walla. The Griswold girls started
off at a fast clip and led Athena four
points before the locals cashed in u
counter. Catching up, Athena held
her stride 'and time after time the

for King's players started in with a
hop and took the lead 3-0 in the first
three minutes of play, but that was
all the Helix lead there was to it. My

Derrill Cannon's Success
In Training Race Horses
And the Engine Sputtered
C. L. McFadden who was accom
panied on a trip to Walla Walla,
Wednesday, by Mrs. McFadden and
Mrs. F. S. LeGrow, experienced con
siderable difficulty in getting back
home from the Garden City. This side
of the grade crossing at the foot of
Dry Creek hill, the engine sputtered
and stopped. Investigation revealed
that the gas tank was empty. A sup
ply was secured from a ranch near
by, but water from the vessel used
in refilling the tank made more
trouble. A car came along and push
ed the McFadden car over the "hump"
into Weston, where a garage man
after some tinkering registered his
o. k. Coming out of Weston, the
engine balked again and the car was
coasted back into town. Starting
home again with everything rosey,
bang went a tube, and when "Pete"
was through making the change, he
felt as though he was just about
through with the whole . dingbasted
winter motoring program.

Has Conflict Without
Injury From Mad Bull
Word comes over from Grant coun
ty that Herman Geissel recently es
caped serious injury when attacked
by an infuriated bull, which he and
Glenn Arbogast had purchased.
Informed by the former owner that
the animal would attack on provo
cation, the bull started ' on a ram
page when driven near a wagon that
had been used in transporting beef,
and directed special attention to
Herman, as the report comes to us.
Herman broke for the team and
wagon, and in dodging in front of the
horses slipped and fell to the ground.
Getting up he started out on a
marathon in front of the oncoming
mountain of beef, only to fall again.
This time he could not get out of the
way of the bull before it came up to
him.
Aside from a few bruises received
when the animal passed over him,
Herman fortunately escaped. It is
needless to add that right now this
particular critter ia wandering about
in the herd minus his horns.
Derril Cannon's success 2 lines ........
Derrill Cannon, nephew of Cass
Cannon, and a lad remembered by
many Athena people is making a
great success in training race horses
on race tracks of California and
Mexico. For a number of years Der
rill was with George Drumheller's
racing stable, and a couple of years
ago married Miss Jessie Drumheller.
The San Diego Evening Tribune
gives the following account of the
winning of a big race recently by
Infinity, a horse trained by Derrill;
, "Youth must be served. There is
Del Cannon, a mere youth when com
pared to the men of the turf at Agua
Caliente. Yesterday he sprang In
finity in the featured contest of the
program. Infinity was there, thanks
to the efficient Derrill... And back. Jn
San Clemente, Boss Hamilton Cot
ton, for whom Cannon trains the
horses of the La Brea stable, was
once again celebrating. ,
"There seems no limit to the ability
of young Derrill, a rather unassum
ing personage. He goes about his
work with the experience gained
from years with the horses. He
knows them,' and that i3 what a train-
er needs must nave. lesieraay a
triumph with Infinity was a prize. A
good thoroughbred in his last effort,
Infinity was given somewhat of a
chance against Doctor Wilson, Seth's
Hope, Sidney Grant and Hey Diddle
Diddle in the sloppy mud. The play
was all in the machines. The wise
money wanted Doctor Wilson. He
made comedy of the affair. Sharp
as the hound's molar, Apprentice
Johnny Redding moved the Eternal
colt from the barrier, throttled hi
foes in a hurry and was never in
danger. At the final station Infinity
and Redding were slushing along two
lengths to the good. Seth's Hope,
encountering sliding ground earlier,
finally straightened out enough to
close some lengths and get up in
plenty of time for the place. Doctor
Wilson did not seem to get put if
one particular stride and wound up
third. The big Sunstar colt, Hey
Diddle Diddle, attempted to catch In
finity early, but after a time decided
to coast along quietly with what re
mained." ,
Zero Weather for Uma- :
tilla County; 32 Inches
of Snow at Grants Pass
-t-.' - 5 -.
The weather, man 'm put Umatilla
county on cold storage this, week and
behind a mask of clear sunshine dur
ing daytime, at night poked the
mercury down below zero. Saturday
night Athena thermometers record
ed temperature around the zero mark.
Sunday: night 5 below was the notch
reached. ' Monday night some regis
trations were reported as low as 12
below, others stopped at 10.
Athena wheat fields are covered
with snow and eeneral ' opinion is
that the growing grain Is amply pr-
ttected from freezing. While Eastern
Oregon and portions of ,x Western
Oregon have felt the brunt of a cold
wave, southern sections of the state
have experienced rain storms and ex
cessive snowfall.
Wednesday the weather moderated
and new snow has fallen to the depth
of about five inches, which made a
total of nearly seven inches on the
ground up to noon yesterday.
The heaviest snow in 40 years has
fallen in Grants Pass. A btanket of
32 inches of snow covers everything.
Roofs are being . shoveled free of
snow for the second time in a week.
City and county prisoners spent the
week in shoveling snow from public
buildings and sidewalks. Snow was
falling at the rate of one inch an
hour Monday afternoon. Rural post
men were unable to finish their
routes Monday and snow plows are
busy on the highway hills.
Sexton Mountain, north of Grants
Pass had two feet , of snow in 20
hours. Stages arrived lata from the
north.
Sunday night the mercury fell to
the lowest point in years, one above
zero. Snow is frozen in layers in the
open country. ' ;

Church leaders in the United States
and Great Britain have designated
Sunday, January 19, as a day of
special prayer for the success of the

Standard Theatre Closed
With the showing otf the picture
program last Saturday evening, the
Standard Theatre was closed to silent
pictures and will remain closed in
definitely. The . only arrangements
that could be made for the present
was the continuation of presenting
silent pictures in competition with
sound and dialogue production, at a
loss. The Standard has been operat
ing since June 2, 1919, nearly 11
years, and during that time enjoyed
the distinction of presenting only
pictures of first run quality. Until
replaced by sound pictures in the
choice of theatregoers, the silent pro
grams given by the Standard were
well patronized, and the manager
takes this opportunity to thank the
patrons of Athena and vicinity for
support given the theatre in the past.

INFLUENCE
Town With No Community
Paper Is Barren Spot,
College Man Says
Oregon State College. The . 11.-
000 weelily newspapers published in
the United States exert a more
powerful influence in community life
year in and year out than any other
factor, believes Charles D. Byrne,
head of the department of industrial
journalism at Oregon State college.
Professor Byrne is discussing the
community newspaper t with , special
emphasis on the work of country cor
respondents in a series of radio lec
tures over station KOAC each
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
"In the aggregate the country
weekly determines the outcome of
more elections, exerts a greater influ
ence for constructive community pro-1
gress, is read longer by more mem
bers of the family, and with its com
bined circulation of 15 million con
stitutes one of the greatest reading
mediums in the nation," he said in .
his address. . &
"It has been charged that the
country weekly is provincial in that
it deals only in small local affairs.
Of course it is! So, too, are the New
York papers provincial in relation to
the size of the city and the number
of people they serve. -
"From no other source than tho
weekly paper can one obtain the in
timate, personal and business newa
of the small town and community,"
he pointed out. "The large city
dallies cannot devote space to mat
ters of immediate interest to the
small town and surrounding country.
"The town which has no medium
for local news of the community, or
which has no correspondent for the
home town paper is indeed a barren
spot. I pity it. Every community
feels the need of a good level-headed
newspaper and it is in the making of
such a newspaper that the rural cor
respondents play such an important
part," he explained. .
Professor Byrne says that although
the number of weekly papers Is de
creasing just as are the dailies, it is
a matter of consolidation with a bet
tering of the remaining papers.
