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.

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.

sit with a nice girl for two
hours you think it is only a
minute, but when you sit on a

think it's two hours. That's
relativity.
Two minutes is more than
ample time to call us about any
repairs, alterations, or paint
