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.

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.

Fire Danger Has Increased
Molalla, Or. John Ferguson, super
visor of forest fire patrol with head
quarters on the north fork of the Mo
lalla river, recently returned from a
tour of inspection and reports pos

in his memory. Disastrous forest fires
are bound to occur, he. warns, unless
there is complete co-operation with
the people in exercising care.
The snow was gone from Sweet
springs and Lookout mountain. This
condition should not prevail until late
in June. At Butte Creek basin the
old snow is all gone. Streams have
the same volume they usually have
late in June. This is at an elevation
of 4000 feet.

Grants Pass. 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.

a Trip To the East
Portland. Henry W. Collins, new
ly appointed regional representative
of . the Farmers' National Grain cor
poration, returned to his Portland of
fice after a visit in the east during
which he conferred with national of
ficers of, the grain corporation. 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 . .
Mr. Collins declared that no ar
rangements had been made by the
grain corporation for terminal facili
ties, though proposals had been re
ceived from a number of terminals.
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.

Agriculture, bureau of economics

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.
After spotting the Indians four
runs in the first inning the home
boys settled down to hold them un
til the first of the ninth when they
tallied two more runs on as many
hits. 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.
