One copy, three months Athena, Oregon, October 17, 1930 The last week's issue of the Com. mercial Review, Portland, had the following encouraging notes on the wheat situation: "The week reveal ed the news that sales to China were considerably more than most of the trade realized, to date there haying been posted seven full cargoes to China and one to Japan. It is rumor ed that there are a couple more lap anese cargoes sold but held under cover. The Pacific Northwest is some what blessed with the buying by China and Japan. "These two buyers do not seem to share in the demoral ization, wheat being down to a price that it can feed its masses in quanti ties. As a result, much wheat will move out of this section. Shipment: during October will be the heaviest of the present season. There are suf ficient cargoes sold to Europe and th Orient, along with quite heavy parcel sales, to insure this heavy move ment." Geese raising does not receive the attention by the farming community that the business warrants, says an expert of the Canadian department of agriculture. The farm is the natural habitat of the goose, provid ing those two great essentials to sue cessful geese raising free range and abundance of green foods. Raising a flock of geese is one means by which the farmer can reap a good reward with a very small investment and comparatively little labor. Geese command a good price on the Christ mas market and the demand is al ways greater than the supply, the ex pert declares. o Senator Bailey, democratic candl date for governor has the distinction of being one of the biggest men in stature and weight that has ever aspired to the office in this state. An other distinction that may be proper ly claimed for Senator Bailey is that he is the only candidate of the three running for the office of governor who has received his nomination di dect from the people in the primary election. Metschan, republican candi date was named by the republican state central committee and Meier, in dependent, received his nomination at a meeting of Meier voters. o As the campaign enters its closing weeks before election day, November 4, the prospects of E. C. Prestbye, democratic candidate for State Sena tor from Umatilla and Union coun ties undoubtedly grow brighter. His republican opponent, Fred Kiddle, ap pears to be losing ground,and reports from Union county are to the effect that Prestbye is well liked by the voters who have met him. Mr. Prest bye, who received the nomination without any solicitation whatever on his part, has made a very creditable campaign for himself and the party he represents. 'O Dr. Henry Baldwin Ward, Univer sity of Illinois biologist and ex-national president of the Izaak Walton League who is visiting Oregon as a consulting expert for United States Bureau of Fisheries studying salmon Btreams, declares that if stream pol lution is continued for a few years longer, there will not only be no fish life left in our streams, but the streams themselves constitute, a men ace to public health. "We must des troy pollution or pollution will des troy us," is his summary. o E. E. Brodie and familyvwill return to Oregon City for the winter from Finland, to which country Mr. Brodic is minister from the United States, At home Mr. Brodio is publisher of the Oregon City Enterprise. Maybe he is coming back to write an edi torial or two, but wo surmise a fire place in a certain fine home on the banks of the Clackamas looks better to Ed than the frozen fjords of Finland. A Walla Walla paper is about to start another hooey campaign for subscriptions.. It is one of those popu larity throwbacks, sprinkled with au tomobile prizes to steam up interest among contestants.

Figures submitted at the meeting of the federation showed that at the present time more than 600,000 members were working on the five-day week plan. After hunting deer faithfully with out luck, Lester Martin of Newport shot and killed a buck while standing in his doorway.
