FOR GOfiSERvATlDN
Democratic Candidate For
. Governor Outlines Posi
tion at Grants Pass.
Grants Pass. Conservation of
hydro-electric sites for the people of
Oregon, and determination of a sound
plan of public development of elec
trical power, comprise the two more
: important issues confronting the vot
ers of : Oregon this year, declared
Senator Edward : P. Bailey, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, speak
ing before the Josephine Pomona
grange in Williams Creek' grange
hall. v-
"The 'most important of these is
conservation,", he said. "In fact, the
fate of public development rests on
successful conservation. For if the
people have no water rights, they can
have no hydro-electric plants.
"In my platform, which was offered
to the voters of Oregon before either
of my opponents got into the guber
natorial race, I recognized this and
demanded the withdrawal from ap
propriation of all waters that could
be used in public development. One
of the candidate now active in the gu
bernatorial contest "has adopted the
idea as his own. Under my plan, a
state commission of high-minded men
would survey all waters and save for
posterity those best adapted for pub
lic development It would save us, as
far as; hydro-electric power is con
cerned, from a repetition of the
'swamp angels' episode of Ijie late
19th century, when public school
lands were looted and the taxpayers
left to shoulder a burden it had never
been ment for them to carry.
"A sound plan of hydro-electric de
velopment,'' continued Senator Bailey,
"calls for activity by three logical
public agencies, the federal govern
ment, the municipalities and the state.
V "The Columbia river, our main po
tential power source, can only be de
veloped by the federal government,
which alone has the resources and
authority to undertake such a gigan
tic and complicated program." .
t ; Senator Bailey pledged, himself to
appoint to the public service commis
sion only men who had the public
good in mind, and who would act for
the people at all times. V

The, Average Pay Of
An Air Mail Pilot Is
At Present $550 Month
What sort of remuneration do air
mail and passenger fliers get for their
work of putting planes through the
air on time 7 On what basis are they
pauu
Those questions, often asked by the
man on the ground as he listens to
transport planes going overhead day
and night in good and bad weather,
are, answered in ; a bulletin of the
aeronautics, branch, United States de
partment of commerce. -
A survey of pay schedules of rep
resentative passenger and mail opera
tors shows that their pilots received
an average monthly salary of $550
in the last six months of 1929 and
the first six months of 1930, accord
mg to the bulletin. Airplane and en
gine mechanics received an average
oi $107 monthly in the same period.
An average monthly base pay of
$189 was paid pilots, but this was
increased to the average total of $550
by the addition of certain sums paid
lor each mile flown, which varied with
conditions under which the flying was
conducted and which depended on day
or night schedules These additional
amounts averaged 5 cents a mile for
day flying and 10 cents for night fly
ing, h -'.- V ;
The .highest monthly salary was
$850. paid by one line to a night mail
pilot, and the lowest $300.
Rattler Misses Man
C. J. Dean, living near Redmond,
was recently enjoying fishing in the
Metolius river, near the head. A large
diamond rattler was concealed, in an
overhanging rock nearby. The snake
struck at him, but missed. Dean im
mediately shot and killed the reptile.
When shot the snake threw its head
back and inflicted a wound in its own
body. It was an exceptionally large
rattler, as large as a man's forearm.
Walla Walla Cancels Bout
Vic Mullin has cancelled arrange

for the utilities," he said. "It should
be strengthened to where it could be
an effective force, and manned only
by those of high purpose."
Senator Bailey expressed- himself
also as favoring stronger prohibition
laws, and the enactment of an income
tax law to lift the state tax from the
homes and farms of Oregon.
Grand Army Heroes In
Review With Only Seven
Hundred Falling In Line
Cincinnati. The Grand ' Army of
the Republic passed in review again
with ieeble but triumphant steps in
spired by the memories of 64 years
ago. --J-..--:
The scene before the reviewing
stand was a far cry from Washing
ton's Pennsylvania avenue of 1865,
when the grand army came home
from the battle field! of the south.
Their ranks were numbered in hun
dreds of thousands then. Today there
were only 700 veterans keeping step
to the music of the days of '65.
Nearly 1000 others, too infirm to
march in the annual parade of the
encampment, followed their more
virile comrades in 250 automobiles.
Bands of G. A. R. posts, Cincinnati
American Legion, Ohio national
guard and 10th United States infan
try and the United States marine
corps played the martial airs of civil
war days as well as of more recent
years as the parade, an hour and a
half long, passed by.
Commander-in-Chief E. J. Foster.
heading the army led by General
Ulysses S. Grant on its first parade
day fell out of line at the officials'
stand and watched his comrades pass
in review. With him stood Lieutenant
ColonelU. S. Grant III, who came
from Washington despite the illness
of his mother, to watch the parade
and officiate in future events of the
encampment He will be officer of
the day when the G. A. R. visits his
grandfather's birth place at Point
Pleasant, O. ; . '
Nearly every state was represented
in the parade from Oregon's single
marcher to the 65 mustered by Penn
sylvania and Michigan.
The veterans rested, lunched and
then started their first business ses
sion of the encampment, listening to
nominations for national offices. They
selected Des Moines, la., as the place
for the 65th encampment, y

Not To Grant Licenses
Until Legislative Session
Salem. Regardless of the action of
the federal power commission in
granting the California-Oregon Pow
er company a license to use federal
right of way on Klamath river, any
move toward actual construction of
the power company is blocked until
after the 1931 legislature because of
the announcement by State Engineer
Rhea Luper that he will issue no per
mits until after the next regular ses
sion.' Preliminary to its acting in the
matter, the federal power commis
sion some weeks ago wrote State En
gineer Luper as to the status of the
power company here. Luper replied
that the company had complied with
all requirements for a state permit to
appropriate water and said, in effect
that the application for power rights
would be granted. This assurance
from the state was required by the
federal commission before it would
grant a license, and it is presumed at
the engineering department that the
federal license was granted on the
strength of the letter from Luper.
Since then, however, has come the
demand by Governor Norblad that
public hearings be held before any
rights are granted, and the agitation
from Portland that a special session
of the legislature be held, if neces.
sary, to block the power corporations
from appropriating waters of Oregon
streams. ; .

Chicago Banks To Bar
Accounts of Gangsters
Chicago. Effort to shut the doors
of Chicago, banks to gangsters has
drawn an. announcement from the
bank of Charles G. Dawes, American
ambassador to England, that it will
not accept any gangster accounts.
This is the first bank to come out
against gangster business, which has
been shown in income tax cases to
run into large figures.
In lining up with the attempted
business boycott of gang leaders,
Philip R. Clarke, president of the Cen
tral Trust company of Illinois, of
whose board Mr. Dawes a honorary
chairman, said:
"This bank, so far as it is able to
ascertain, has no gangsters' accounts,
and is taking every precaution to pre
clude getting any. Some time ago we
discovered one account that . had a
suspicious appearance and it was im
mediately ordered out of the institu
tion." ,.

A cowboy from New Mexico. Jake
McClure, topped all hands at the 21st
annual Round-Up to pluck the crown
of champion all around cowboy of the
world and have his name first inscrib
ed on the Sam Jackson trophy.
McClure won from a field of ex
perts, and the winner was in doubt
until the judges . had totaled points
and made an official announcement.
The contest was chiefly between
four cowboys, Richard Merchant of
Carlsbad, N. M.; Ed Pardee of Colo
rado; King Merritt, Cheyenne, Wyo,
and McClure. ; Merritt fell down in
the steer roping.
It is estimated an audience of be
tween 25,000 and 30,000 spectators sat
through the third and final day's
show Saturday. ,
The "Over the Hill" spectacle, fea
turing covered wagons and Indians in
historical pageantry of pioneers cross
ing the plains was a thrilling event
and a nttmg one introduced in the
program of the big show. The sight
of the ox-drawn covered wagons
winding down the hillside, with In
dians converging for an attack was
inspiring, and when the fatal circle
of death encircled the little cavalcade
there were those in the audience, look
ing on with dim eyes, who had wit
nessed such incidents enacted in
tragic reality back in the days of the
40's, 60's and the 60's. Spectacular
again was the Westward Ho parade,
held this year on Friday instead of
Saturday.
Happy Canyon nightly drew its
crowds of jolly fun seekers and the
programs were filled with entertain
ment. t-.
The races were above average this
year, some fast horses participating
in the different events. The cow
girl's relay race was won by Tad
Lucas, with Mabel Strickland second,
Miss Strickland won the cowgirl's
pony race. Fred Hunt won the cow
boy's standing race and also the pony
express race.: He rode the Pauline
Sawyer string. The Round-Up derby
was won i by Maid o' the : Storm, a
Pauline Sawyer racer ridden by Pablo
Martinez. The following aces won
the Round-Up championships:

Demand For Graduates
Keen In Agriculture
Oregon State College. The demand
for scientifically trained men in agri
cultural fields has far outstripped the
available number of first class agri
cultural graduates, according to Dr.
a. d. uordiey, dean of the school of
agriculture at Oregon State college;
yet for some reason, all over the na
tion, the number of college students
in agriculture is comparatively small,
he reports.
To acquaint prospective college
students with the broad field of op
portunity in agriculture, including
some 178 related occupations, the col
lege has issued a new illustrated vo
cational guidance booklet of 80 pages
which gives a clear understanding of
the actual fields of employment open
to agricultural graduates. It is now
ready for free distribution.
