Failure to Make Report As
Oregon Law Requires
Each Year.
Portland. Almost 2000 Oregon
trappers, who failed to make the
legally required report on their fur
for the 1928-29 trapping season, will
be arrested and subjected to a court
trial as a result of a 40 per cent "fur
report deficiency" discovered on the
state game commission books, ,
Orders to ascertain the location of
each trapper implicated in the drive
were issued to every deputy game
warden in the state by Harold Clif
ford, state game warden.
Each deputy warden will make a
careful survey of his own district,
locating every, man within the area
who has not made his report. As
soon as each warden completes this
task, Mr. Clifford said, complaints
will be filed in the. district court of
the county and immediate legal pro
ceeding will be instituted. 1
As nearly as present statistics in
dicate, the number - of delinquent
trappers can be estimated between
1500 and 2000, it was stated.
Oregon state law requires each
holder of a trapper's license to make
a complete report of the number and
species of animals taken by him dur
ing the season. The report is re
quired immediately upon the . con
clusion of the season. " ,
The shortage is confined to the
season beginning November 1, 1928,
and ending February 28, 1929.
An opinion received from the at
torney-general of the state February
21, 1930, relative to the .legality of
the requirement of a complete report,
indicated that the requirement was
in perfect accord , with Oregon law,
and that such a report was of im
mense value to the state records.
"The almost incalculable value of
these reports may be observed," said
Mr. Clifford, "when it is considered
that they offer the only conclusive
statistical value of Oregon's fur in
dustry.'' - -' ' -
"Without them, we are unable to
calculate the amount of fur taken by
traps or to ascertain the approximate
abundance of fur-bearing animals
within the state boundaries. - - -
"The law is specific in the matter
of these reports, and such negligence
is inexcusable. We have been plan
ning this drive for two weeks and we
intend to carry it througn to com
pletion." .....
The campaign will be carnea mto
virtually every county in Oregon. Mr.
Clifford indicated, and the work of
locating the individual trappers will
represent an immense . undertaking
on the part of the deputy wardena.
The penalty is a fine of $25 to' $500.

DAIRYMEN APPRQV
E
STATEWIDE C
Consumption Drive Decided
as Farmers Vote Plan of
Added Efficiency.
Oregon State College. Reaffirming
the conclusion reached bv the dairy
convention of last year reeardiner ex
pansion, the Oregon Dairymen's as
sociation in its annual convention just
completed at Marshfield and Coquille,
urged T gradual expansion only by
means of increasing efficiency of herds
aucn emciency, it was aeciarea,
Bhould come through better feeds,
otiminhfinn tit rowa tinder the ' 300
pound butterfat limit, better sires,
and raising of heifer calves only from
300 pound cows and high ' record
sires. '-
The present surplus of dairy pro
ducts, it was held, is due to decreas
ed consumption coupled with over
expansion in some milk producing
sections, particularly the milk sheds
of large cities.
To aid in correction of under con
sumption in this state, the associa
tion laid comprehensive plans for a
unified campaign of education design
ed to stimulate use of more dairy
products of alt kinds, rather than
limiting the drive to merely butter,
milk or both.
Particular emphasis is to be riven
to encouraging dairy manufacturers
and retail dealers to give more at
tention to dairy products in paid dis
play advertising in newspapers. A
positive campaign in favor of dairy
products rather than negative drive
against substitutes was the plan of
action decided upon. . ; i
The association also urged a
"shakeup" in the present administra
tion of the tuberculosis and abortion
eradication work. A committee was
named to confer with the Livestock
Sanitary board in an effort to correct
alleged serious conditions.
New officers of the association
chosen are president,. Sidney Miller,
Woodburnj first vice president, Aiar
vin Thomas, Redmond; , second vice
nrpaident. Thomas Acree. Hood

tary, N. C. Jamison, Corvallis. The

Walla Walla Woman Is
One Hundred Years Old,
Believes People Kinder
Walla Walla. Nancy . Overturn
Patterson has reached the century
mark and is being greeted by friends,
who drop in to offer their congratu
lations. Despite her 100 years she is
alert, keen of mind and has fair
hearing and eyesight considering her
veara. A widow lor sz- years ana
having buried all of her 11 children,
she is philosophical.
"I have outlived my time," sne
stated, "but I have to stay until the
time comes for me to go."
Having seen 100 years pass, she
believes the world is not getting any
worse.
"There are just more people, cities
have grown up where plains used to
be bringing more people together and
we hear more about things. Further,
people think more of others and are
not as hard-hearted as they used to
be."
Born in Ohio March 1, 1830, Mrs.
Patterson moved to Missouri and was
married when she was 17 to Andrew
Jackson Patterson. Mr. Patterson
went to Colorado and was there when
the civil war broke out.
Mrs. Patterson wrote him to stay
there and she took her five children
and drove an ox-team to Illinois.
Later she started with her family in
a wagon and a supply of food and $5
in cash and drove to Colorado, start
ing in May and ending her journey
in September. Her 5-year-old child
died of croup on the way. Fifty years
ago the Pattersons came to the Wal
la Walla valley.
Mrs. Patterson said she has never
had an ache or a pain, eats anything
she wants to and does not stop to
worry about whether it is good for
her.
Mrs. Patterson has worn bobbed
hair for 50 years. She likes the radio
and likes to ride in automobiles.
The Walla Walla Altrusa club
presented her with a cake bearing
100 candles.
Has New Method of Is
suing Telephone Bills
A new method of issuing tele
phone bills, known as "Rotation Bill
ing," will be introduced to customers
of the Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph company during March and
April, according to J. A. Murray,
manager for the company.
Under the new plan telephone users
in Oregon will be divided into six
different groups, each to receive its
telephone bills on a different date
the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th 21st and 26th
of the month instead of the 1st of
the month as is now the practice.
The new billing date in Athena, Mr.
Murray said, will be the 11th of the
month, starting in ApriL Customers
will receive their bills about five
days after that date.
The company is giving its cus
tomers full details of the plan in an
announcement accompanying the reg
ttlar March billa. , - r ,
Hermiston After Cannery
A Hermiston correspondent says if
growers of the project express their
desire for a cannery, the ladies of the
Farm Bureau Auxiliary have a plan
under way to supply the necessary
equipment for the canning, and it is
said at a very nominal cost. The
Auxiliary has figured that the can
ning cost per quart will not exceed
2Vz cents. The work of preparation
in so far as possible would be done
in the home and the processing at the
cannery, plans would be under the
direction of a competent woman. If
enough people signify their desire to
have canning work done, plans will be
made to have the plant in operation
in time to take care of the low pric
ed asparagus.
