ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, MAY 16, 1930 NUMBER 20 CLIFFORD'S FOES GIVEN MORE TIME Charges Must Be Filed In Ten Days, State Board i Plans Quiz. A time extension of ten days in which to file their charges of negli gence and mismanagement against Harold H. Clifford, state game war '. den, and E. H. Clark, assistant state game warden, was granted the Mult namah Anglers' and Hunters' club by the state game commission, this week, says the Oregonian. The extension was made following the receipt of a letter signed by rep resentatives of the Multnomah An glers' and Hunters' club the United Sportsmen's council and ' the Izaac Walton league of Portland. The letter stated that the scope of the investigations now being conduct ed by the organizations had widened considerably and that more time would be needed before a detailed re port of the charges could be filed with the commission. . Formal recognition of the charges will be made June 9, when the com mission is scheduled to hold the reg ular meeting. At this time, it was stated, a date would be set for the hearing. "; "We might as well get this thing cleaned up now," said Commissioner Corrigan, who made the motion, "be cause we can't have it dragged out for the remainder of the year. "After these charges are filed we shall consider them. If they are deemed worthy of a formal hearing, a date will be set for that hearing." The three organizations were not represented at the meeting and the letter was delivered while the com mission was adjourned for lunch. The proposel constitutional amend ment providing for the closing of the Rogue river to commercial fishing on and after January 1, 1931, received a vote of unanimous approval from members of the commission. . ....... Fresentatidtt of the proposed amendment was made by T. E. Dan iels, Medford, who represented the Jackson County Game Protective as sociation and the Izaac . Walton league of Grants Pass, promoters of the move. . ' - Value of commercial fishing in the Rogue is virtually negligible, commis sion officials pointed out., while the value of the stream as an attraction to sportsmen is incalcuable. Circulation of petitions for the clos ing will start May 17, Mr. Daniels told the commission. Four Baker county lakes will open June 15 instead of July 1, it was or dered. The lakes are Crawfish, An thony, Mud lake and Grande Ronde. A patrol boat will be placed on Wallowa lake to effect a more thorough supervision of the territory. Mr. Clifford announced. The boat was purchased at the request of the game wardens assigned to the territory. No eagles will be killed in the an nual spring shoot of the Pilot Rock Rod and Gun club, a letter received Monday indicated. Mr.' Clifford noti fied the club, whose prize list for trophies included a reward for ragles, that the shooting of the birds was illegal. ....... ..; . " Having outlived its usefulness, the game commission's "fish Pullman' will be traded in on a new one, the members ordered. The present truck has traveled well over the 100,000 mile mark and a new truck is needed to handle the growing traffic through out the state. A request that the commission ap prove a transfer of title ownership between privately owned cut-over timber lands and an area of swamp land with the forest service in Coos county was not approved by the com- mission. .....,..,'. "The swamp land," said Mr. Clif ford, "has been stocked by us with fish and at present is open to the public for hunting and fishing. It is owned by the forest service. Were it privately owned it would probably be exploited privately.' Predatory Animals Destroyed During April, thirty-one hunters worked all or part time and took 647 coyotes, 27 bobcats and two predatory bears, a total of 676 predatory ani mals of which skin or scalp was sav ed. In addition, 53 unborn coyotes, two unborn bobcats were destroyed and 87 porcupines, 13 badgers and 6 skunks were taken in the course of the work. Not including unborn young, an average of 22 predatory animals per man per thirty days was taken. Population Record Set The population at the state peni tentiary, at Salem, reached a new high mark Tuesday with 900 prison ers on the register. Five women, all federal prisoners, were received at the prison Tuesday. McLoughlin High to Op pose Medford on Question i of Cabinent Government ' ...... ? University of Oregon.

Monthly Report For April ; I Given by Helen J. Sainson Helen J. Samson, County health nurse of Umatilla county gives the following report for the . month of April: - , . . . Miss Henritta Morris, health educa tion director with the Oregon Tuber culosis Association,, spent one entire week in Umatilla county during the past month. Twenty-five schools were visited during that time in order that Miss Morris might speak . with - the teachers on methods of teaching health and materials which are avail able for health teaching. Many teachers expressed surprise that such material was at their disposal and several put in orders on the spot for posters, booklets, etc. Some time has been spent in organ izing the early diagnosis tuberculosis campaign. Through Dr. Joseph P. Brennan, of Pendleton, arrangements have been made for a tuberculosis clinic which will be conducted by Dr. Marr Bisaillon of Portland whose ser vices are made available through the cooperation of the National Tubercu losis association and the Oregon Tu berculosis assciation. Tuberculosis contacts or suspects will be brought in for examination and diagnosis. The motion picture film "Delays are Dan gerous" has been secured from the Oregon Tuberculosis association and will be shown around the county. Posters "Protect them from Tubercu losis" have been put , up in all the cities of the county and several hun dred stickers have been distributed to business firms Ho be affixed to the monthly bills. One tonsillectory was performed at the expense of the Umatilla county health association through the cooper ation of the local physician at Hermis ton. More than the usual amount of time has been spent on office work as the nurses' car was in the repair shop for several days undergoing a thorough overhauling. Because of the hundreds of cases of measles and whooping cough in the county, it has not seemed wise to at tempt to hold any infant or pre-school clinic, but we hope we may safely do so later.

Lost in the woods for 16 hours and the object of a search which started at dark, Satur day, Laddie Moulton, 3, was found at 10:30 Sunday morning two miles from his home and 12 miles from this city by legion searchers working under the direction of Sheriff Lister of Josephine county. .. -. The child was discovered by Milton Akerill . of Grants Pass on a little knoll not far from a brush road, when he heard the boy's sobbing from a distance of 100 yards. Akerill,' who had had been mining on the historic Althouse creek all winter and was well acquainted with woods lore, was a member of a legion party, composed of Dick Singleton, Jessie Johnston and Earle Voorhies, which had been called late and had only been search ing the section ten minutes. The boy was warmly dressed and apparently had remained awake most of the cold night, to go to sleep when warmed by the rising sun. Passage of automobiles along the rough side road had awakened him, crying, and brought about his discovery. Mrs. Moulton, the boy's mother, who is living on the isolated farm with three of her four sons, said two of the boys had gone to Grants Pass in the car and. apparently had been followed by the smaller boy on foot. She bad noticed Laddie's absence at once, but had believed he had ac companied his brothers, and did not learn that he was lost until their return some time later. The search was started then. After neighbors with the sheriff's assistance had been unable to find the lad during the night, legionnaires and Boy Scouts were summoned. Between 50 and 75 men and boys had joined the hunt before the boy was found.

Mr. Collins' appointment became effective yesterday, May 15, and he declared that most of his instructions are yet to be received. , , . . t Mr. Collins was accompanied from Seattle by Archie Ryer of Seattle, whom he has appointed Portland rep resentative. , Mr. Ryer is a well known grain operator of Seattle. As to policies, Mr. Collins had only one statement to make so far as possible, the business of selling grain abroad and shipping it will be han dled through existing agencies. He amplified the statement to the effect that the co-operative concern will operate through the companies that are in the business of grain export ing. :-'. :s - ! - Little, if lany of the present crop of wheat is likely to be exported by the grs'i corporation, Mr. Collins said. Contracts1 now are being made with farmers for the new crop by the North Pacific Gram Growers, Inc., which will turn the wheat over to the Farmers' National Grain cor poration,; This latter corporation will sell it . .

When asked how much of the new crop would be handled through Port land, he replied: "Some of it has to come through. Portland, of " course. Some of it doesn't. It's too early to say any more than that.", RIVER BILL'S FATE law OS White Hot Meteor Falls In the Conway District Pendleton. t A flaming meteor, white hot at the head and about as "long as an airplane" fell just south of Conway on Meacham creek at 8:15 Sunday evening. At least T. F. Mills thinks it fell but a short distance away. : i . ; "The meteor came low over a ridge and seemed to travel at about the speed of a plane," says Mr. Mills. "The white part in front seemed about the size of an auto tire and the whole thing was about 50 feet long. The first impression was that it was a burning plane but it was easy to make out that it was not a plane.' The meteor seemed to be about spent and I think it fell on the side of a canyon not far away. I couid see the tops of trees above the meteor so it could not have gone far." . , V'ith Mr. Mills at the time were his two sons, Robert and Harold. They had been fishing during the day on Meacham creek .and were waiting for' the train. As it was then dark and the train nearly due, they made no effort to locate the meteor. Mr. Mills is with the Union Pacific freight department here. Gram Men Have Grading School In Pendleton Pendleton.

Tells Committee Channel 35 Feet Deep and 500 Feet Wide Essential. Washington, D. C The task of piloting safely, through legislative shoals the $110,000,000 omnibus river and harbour bill, which ' cannot be " passed at this session of congress un less compromise are reached upon one or two important controversial items, has fallen largely to Senator McNary of Oregon, who was chiefly responsi ble for the inclusion in the measure of the 35-foot channel authorization from Portland to the sea. : In the dual role of assistant repub lican leader of the senate and chief aide of Senator Hiram Johnson of California on the senate commerce , committee, which is considering the omnibus bill, McNary is now negoti ating with senators at odds over the Erie canal and Illinois river proposals in an effort to prevent a threatened filibuster and assure the measure of speedy passage. Probably the action of the house rivers and harbors committee in re ducing the authorized width of the proposed Columbia river channel from 500 to 400 feet, after the army en gineers had recommended that form er figure, is the least of the Oregon senator's worries. His first move when the bill came to the Benate was to lay down the condition to members of the house committee that the 500- foot width should be approved in the final conference report on the meas-' ure. This was promptly agreed to, and the 500-foot figure will be restor. ed by the senate. The Erie canal provision is the weight now holding the bill back. Great lakes senators, long hopeful that the St. Lawerence waterway would eventually be built, see in the proposal that government take over of the water route across New York a fivol tViA Iwif avnsf trwinl iia wm f (wi wi'v iiivvi iiwviviibi ivura which might further delay action on the latter. The same group are in sisting that some definite limit bo placed upon diversion from Lako Michigan in connection with the Illi nois waterway proposal, which con templates completion of a navigable route between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi river. The prospect that compromises might be entered into in both items was brighter Tuesday than it has been for a week. Both Johnson and McNary, as chairmen and ranking members of the commerce committee, have served notice on the interested parties that unless they agree, the prospect for action on the bill is very poor. . . . . Athena Loses Another Game, Mission Indians With George' and Lee Banister again in suit for Athena, the Athena baseball team turned in one of the best played games of the season. Al though out hitting and out playing the Indians they lost, 6 to 3.

Athena came to life at the bat in the eighth inning and found Joe Beetles for four hits, two being three base smashes, and three runs. It' looked as If Athena would tie the score in the ninth when G. Banister, Miller and Bowers got on bases with two down, but Miller was caught at second for the three out. Banister worked very nicely after the first inning and retired nine men while Beetles was putting four away. This Sunday the two teams will clash on the, Round-Up grounds and Athena is determined to turn tables for a victory. The batteries were: Athena, Banis ter. Baker and Parr: Mission, Beetles and Hoskins. Freewater Grows Freewater and Arlington made gains in their 1930 enumeration ac cording to figures released late Sat urday by A.
