Entered at the Post Office at Atbena, Oregon, as Second-Class Mail Matter VOLUME 434 ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, MAY 30,' 1930 NUMBER 22 HIGH COURT BARS JOSEPH, HANNIX Disbarment of Two Attor neys Ordered by Supreme ; ,r Body at Salem; Salem. The Oregon supreme court Tueadav ordered t.hi neramnent Hia. barment of George W. Joseph, re publican nominee' for governor, and Thomas Mannix, Portland attorney." A board of referees appointed by .the supreme court to hear the cases of the two attorneys had previously recommended that Joseph be disbarr- ed permanently, and that Mannix be disbarred for three years. The court held, however, that Man nix who brought disbarment proceed ings against Joseph, should not be permitted to practice law in this state again. , ' In the case of Senator Joseph, Jus tice Bean dissented, holding that dis barment for three years would be suf ficient in this case. ' la the case of Mannix, Justice Bean dissented, too, holding that suspen sion of but one year would be ade quate. ,'"' The disbarment action in the one of Joseph was based upon his alleged attacks upon members of the supreme . court bench. He . contended that po- litical and financial interests influ ' enced decision in cases he cited. As a result of these criticisms, which in volved Mannix and the supreme court, Mannix filed disbarment proceedings against the state senator.. :.'". - Joseph retaliated with similar ele ction against Mannix, involving him in the supreme court affair.

Joseph as a lawyer and a citizen of the United States had a perfect right to criticize Justice Rand who was a candidate for re-election. . . . . "No person under . the , guise of criticism is qualified to- criticize maliciously or impute crime. , No one can resort or indulge in character as sassination." ' : Justice Rossman, who wrote the de cision disbarring Mannix, said; "Mannix never retracted or apolo gized or explained his att;;"ude to ward Justice Rand and wilfully and maliciously assissinated the character of the justice." " ' The recommendations of the ref erees appointed to pass upon the merits of the disbarment charges were announced several months a;o; the referees suggesting that Joseph be permanently disbarred and that Man nix be forbidden to practice within the next three year3. ; . In the May 16 primary election Joseph, on a platform advocating a "free press and free speech," receiv ed the republican nomination 'for governor.

Steps should be taken so that no ax will ever remove the timber from the Bull Run reserve, regardless of the ownership of the title to the land, Fred M. Randlett, for eight years chief engineer of the Portland water bureau . and now with the Robert W. Hunt company, inspection engineers of San Francisco, said in a letter to Commissioner Mann. Mr. Randlett pointed out that the value of the timber to the water sup ply is greater than it ever could be for lumber, since the timber will slow down the run-off from the hills and insure' a steady flow of "water to the city. . . .... ,-. ''.-.'': . V'V": "Whether the city or the United States government continues to hold title to the Bull Run watershed, I certainly hope that a definite policy and understanding will be determined that will make it impossible for any power in the future to cut this timber for mercenary purposes," wrote Mr. Randlett. Commissioner Mann has been urging the government to turn over the title to the watershed to the city, but the government has insisted that the city should pay about $2,000, 000 for the land because of the timber. Commissioner Mann holds that the city cannot cash in on the timber be caurs of its value to the water supply. Mr. Randlett said: " "I'm very glad to see the position you have 'taken. ' It certainly seems absurd, in view of the original pro clamation setting aside this tract and the two senate bills afterwards passed relative to trespass, and the distinct understanding that always has exist ed, as, to the value of the standing timber in connection with the water supply and the danger from fire run ning through the same timber that so much care and money has been spent to prevent, that there should be a change in the attitude or different in terpretation put on the value of this timber at this time. "Because, as I see it, the value of this timber rests in the fact that it impedes the fast run off in this water shed, which to my mind is of far greater importance than the value of the 'timber contained in this area could possibly net to any party.' Special Committee on Wild ' Life Resources of Senate i Washington, D. C. A special com mittee of the United States Senate has been appointed, to investigate all matters pertaining to the replacement and conservation of wild life (includ ing aquatic and bird life) with a view to determining the most appropriate methods for carrying out such pur poses, together with its recommenda tions for the necessary legislation. The committee has been instructed to report its findings to the Senate ai soon as possible and not later than the beginning of the first regu'ai- ses sion of the next Congress. It has been given full power to call wit nesses and take testimony under oath and also to call for the production of all data in connection witr. the sub ject. This action by the Senate is the broadest and most conprehen.-dva yet taken to conserve the birds, fish and wild animals of our nation. "' The activities of the committee will nccessaryily cover a vast range of subjects, including federal game res ervations, bird sanctuaries, wild life in our national parks and forests, the problem of migratory birds, of upland birds, of predatory animals and of fishes of the Atlantic, Pacific, gulf ana inland waters. The study will also have to deal with the seal industry, the fish industry, the fur industry and all others connected with wild animal and aquatic and bird life. The plan of the committee is to make an ex haustive study of all of these pro blems and of the laws connected with them. To do this they will call upon the Biological Survey and thi com missioners of bird sanctuaries and game reservations of the Department of Agriculture; the Bureau of Fish eries of the Department of Commerce; the national parks and national monu ments of the Department of the In terior; the state departments of game and fisheries and all national organ izations in any way connects, with the subject. This is a research work f very large proportions and will probably require a year or more to assemble, classify and digest the facts. After all recommendations from ' govern mental, individual and private rources have been assembled and studied, it is the intention of the cominivr.cn to recommend to the United States Sen ate any changes or additions that they consider, necessary in or to ex isting laws pertaining to conserva tion. The committee is strictly non partisan. In the appointment of it, Vice-president Curtis chose not only those senators whom he considered best qualified, but he also endeavored to distribute his selection geographic ally. The Pacific states, the Atlantic states, the mountainous states, tha Central and Southern states, and those adjacent to Canadian border are all represented. .,, . v ,, .., '- When the Navy Bombers "Destroyed" Boston v 1 :-' ! : " t : rrv ...... , j - Some of the United States navy's 131 fighting ana bombing planes as they theoretically attacked Boston one of the cities under them on their 500-mile tour of the New England coast ' : SKYSCRAPER IN COLOR illllilll irllillli 1 ' I h i I -fyw I T 1 ivmi l$ i t i is Architects' drawing of the proposed Fashion building to be erected on or near Fifth avenue In New lork city.

The county court of Umatilla county now has under ad visement the question of abating state and county taxes on certain lands in the Stanfield district so as to allow the irrigation district to have title to the lands in order to carry on a set tlement program. -,--' The irrigation district has already brought foreclosure proceedings against those not paying district as sessments and will have title to 300C or 4000 acres of land if the taxes can be abated.

'A hearing was held ai the court house Monday and was attended by a delegation representing the officials of the Stanfield district and orhcr set tlers.

Indian Chief Will Be Honored at Dedication : . Ceremonies on June 3 Walla Walla. The story of Chief Lawyer, whose strategy ; saved the lives of Governor Issc I. Stevens, and party, in all 97 .persons, at the great Indian council in 1855 was told to the Chamber of Commerce by President S. B. L. Penrose, of Washington col lege. Dr. Penrose said he secured his information from the diary of Governor Stevens, and the official notes of the meeting, all compiled by Hazzard Stevens, son of Governor Stevens, who was at the council here as a 13 year old boy. ;;'; . Occasion for the talk was the fact that next Tuesday afternoon June 3, on the campus of Whitman college, will be dedicated a granite boulder, on which will be cemented a bronze placque commemorating the event. It was on the night of June 2, 1855, seventy-five years ago, that Lawyer saved the lives of the whites by mov ing his tepee and family from the Nez Perce camp, to that of Govtrnor Stevens, his presence there . causing the hostiles to cool off. V V Governor Stevens came to the coun cil, Dr. Penrose said, to propose that the Indians sell part of their lands to the white and go onto reservations. Governor Stevens camped on the banks of Mill creek at a point be tween where the Jensen Store and the Empire furniture company buildings are located. The Nez Perce Indians were camped at the head of College creek, near where the home of Nes mith Ankeuv is located, and the Uma tilla, Cayuses, Walla Wallas and other triDes were camped onthe Yellowhawk three miles away. There were 250C Indians in each camp or a. total of .5000, "the greatest gathering of In dians ever held on the continent," Dr. Penrose stated. The council began, May 29 and con tinued until June 11. Most of the In dians opposed the reservation plan but finally agreement was reached, and the treaty signed. Immediately after Governor Stevens and his party left for Fort Benton the Yakimas went on the warpath and wars con tinued three years, but the Nez Perce's lived up to their agreement, On the evening of June 2, Dr. Pen rose said, Chief Lawyer came to Gov I ernor Stevens' camp and warned him of ,a plot to destroy the whites. He suggested that he move his tepee, be fore dawn, to the white man's camp, and this was done. The moving was done secretly, and was not known generally until the next m.-rning. When the other Indians Saw thi?., they decided not to attack, fearing the Nez Perces. , Governor Stevens' diary tel's of the plans for moving the camp, the reason for the moving, and the result.?, Dr. Penrose stated. , The placque, at the dedication, is donated by the senior class of Whit man college. At least '500 Indians are expected, and many visitors will cowe. The monument is to be turn ed over to the. state which will be rep resented by Governor Roland H. Hart ley, and Governor Hartley is to turn it over to Allen H. Reynolds, as chair mss of the board of trustees. ? "The monument will honor a man who did a noble deed, and who through the remainder of his life maintained his friendship for the white men," Dr. Penrose said. The ceremonies will start at 4 p. m. Tuesday. The monument is lo cated on the campus, near Stanton street.
