"THE PRESS, ATHENA, OREGON,' SEPTEMBER 5, 1930 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.

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.

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 ill by hue I This Cowboy From New Mexico Reaches Top of Career at 21st Annual Show. Come in and Try Our Special.

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. ; .

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.
