UNION PACIFIC IS
AFIEI1 BUSINESS
Interview Discloses Effort
to Retrieve Local Patron
age Served by Trucks.
A number of Union Pacific rail
road officials were in Athena Wednes-
day and called at The Press office. An
interview with the assistant freight
and passenger agent revealed that
consistent effort is being made on the
part of the railroad company to re
trieve freight patronage that is be-
ing usurped by motor truck service,
He said:
"The 4,965 employes of the Union
Pacific in Oregon, aroused over the
loss of freight and passenger busi
ness to unregulated forms of trans
portation, have in the past few
months marshalled their forces in
this and every other community serv
ed by their railroad, urging their fel-
low townsmen to ship and travel by
rail. They frankly recognize the
serious railroad situation which could
easily, result in further cuts in local
payrolls. They are driving home the
cold fact that the prosperity of these
communities will stand or fall with
-that of the railroad; and that the
railroad's . prosperity depends - on
whether it gets the business for
which it is constructed and equipped,
i "Pointing out the railroad, through
the Union Pacific Stages Transport
Dick-un and delivery service, now
meets the fastest and lowest rate
.freight competition with the advant
age of 'more careful and dependable
handling by rail, the U. P. employes'
groups are getting a hearty response
from local merchants. Many mer
chants have pledged their full support
to the "ship and travel by rail" cam
paign. In numerous Oregon towns
the business men and the newspapers
have collaborated in issuing strong
advertisements prompting the pre-
ferential use of the railroad's facil
ities.
"More than $9,000,000 was paid out
by the 'Union Pacific last year in
wages and salaries in the state. This
huge sum was expended in Oregon by
the wage earners who received it,
supporting approximately 20,000 per-
sons. Part of it was spent with mer
chants, part of it deposited in banks
where it helps keep Oregon business
ventures going, and a sizable portion
was paid out in taxes on homes
because 2,262 Oregon homes are own
ed by Union Pacific workers. Of the
4,965 Union Pacific : employes in the
state, 3,413 are heads of families.
Taxes' paid by the Union Pacific in
Oregon alone in 1930 amounted to
$1,361,196.49.
"It is not the intention of the rail
road or of the employes to attempt to
abolish motor truck transportation,
according to the spokesmen for the
employes and the railroad. They real
ize that the motor truck has a field of
its own in which it fills a very defi
nite transportation need.
-"It is the avowed purpose of the
Union Pacific, employes, backed by
their company, to regain the business
lost to truck lines paralleling the rail
roads. .
- "In all fairness, the Union Pacific
workers point out, shippers adjacent
to the Union Pacific can well afford
to patronize the rail lines and further,
to support the "ship and travel by
rail' campaign. The Union Pacific is
now running a series of advertise
ments in Oregon newspapers setting
fourth figures which demonstrate
that the railroad is one of the state's
basic industries and is therefore en
titled to the support of other indus
tries of the state.
"The railroad men base their re
quest for cooperation on the assertion
that the rail service of the line is
adequate and dependable and the ex
perience of Oregon shippers bears
them out. The vigorous and straight
forward action of the rail men is cal
culated to promote railroad employ
ment and the stabilization of the rail
road industry."
E. A. Dudley Improving ;
Since undergoing a surgical opera
tion performed at a Portland hospital
Thursday of last week, E. A. Dudley
has continued to improve and hopes
are entertained by the family that
the patient will be able to return to
his Athena home within a months
time. From the hospital he will be
removed to apartments taken by Mrs.
Dudley at 699 Johnson street where
he will spend a period of recupera
tion, before attempting the homeward
trip. "
Wheat Crop Shows Loss
Pendleton wheat crop authorities,
basing their estimates upon reports
received from growers, claim to see
at least a million bushel loss in the
new crop, as compared with county
production of 1930. However, the
general outlook is better than was
expected following the dry weather of
a month ago.
William Bldkeley
an Early Pioneer
Dead, Age of 91
of
William Blakeley, Umatilla coun-
ty pioneer, ex-county sheriff, state
senator and Indian fighter, died
his home in Pendleton Sunday night
after a short illness at the age of 91
years. ' '
"Bill" Blakeley left a host
friends throughout Oregon and Wash
ington who will regret to learn of his
passing. Until a few months ago he
was , enjoying his usual good health
attended to his business interests
personally and was able to drive his
automobile on long and short trips as
he willed. .
Mr. Blakeley was active in the
building up of his county and state.
He was one of the few surviving pio.
neers who took part in the Indian
battle at Willow springs, and until
this year was one of the few partici
pants of that battle-who annually
decorated the . graves , of departed
comrades who sleep in the Pendleton
cemetery.
He is srvived by the widow, one
daughter, Mrs. G. M. Leser of Los
Angeles, four brothers "and two sis
ters. Several grandchildren also sur-
vive, among them being Mrs. Merle
Chessman, wife of the editor of the
Astorian-Budget, Astoria.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon. Active pall bearers were
Bert Haynes, Marie Chessman, J. B,
Cooley, Edwin Winter, James Johns
Jr., and Tom Lieuallen. Honorary
pall bearers were Colonel J. H. Ealey,
W. Maloney, Judge S. A. Lowell
J. V. Tallman, John Adams, Judge
James A. Fee, Sr., G. M. Rice and
John Vert. - Interment was at the
Pendleton mausoleum.
Finely Ground Grains
Prove Best-for Hogs
Fine grinding has been found to
improve the feeding value of oats and
barley for' hogs materially, in a study
just concluded at the Oregon Experi
ment station and reported in Station
Circular 104, entitled, "Preparation
of Oats and Barley for Pigs." ,
In the investigations- barley and
oats were fed whole dry, whole soak
ed, steam rolled, finely ground and
coarsely ground. Oats were fed to
growing pigs under 100 pounds live
weight, while the barley experiments
were with fattening pigs weighing
about 100 pounds at the start and
about 180 at the finish. Good feed
grades of barley and oats were used,
Grinding ' improved the feeding
quality of barley even more than of
oats, says A. W. Oliver, assistant
animal husbandman, who conducted
the experiments. Steam rolling of
barley increased its feeding value
16.5 per cent, or 3.4 per cent more
than fine grinding, but is too expen
sive a process for general farm use.
Steam rolling of oats lessened their
value. 1
New Wheat Selling for
25c in Kansas Market
Salina. Kas. New wheat sold here
Monday at 25 cents -a bushel, or sev
eral cents less than the price of two
packages" of cigarettes.
Salina is one of the principal ship
ping points in the winter wheat coun
try of Kansas, which on official esti
mates produced 200,000,000 bushels of
wheat this year. '"'
If the wheat farmer raised 16 bush
els an acre the average estimated in
the latest department of agriculture
forecast and sold at today's price,
he collected at the rate of only 14 an
acre for his crop. The 16 bushel
figure was exceeded on many Kansas
farms, some producing double that
amount.

Milton-Freewater Tomato
Harvest Is Under Way
Six carloads of grown out of door
tomatoes left the Milton-Freewater
section last week for various cities of
the east and it is expected that the
total shipments will reach 150 cars,
says the Times. Just how prices
will hold up is another story but
growers are optimistic and are trying
to hold down the overhead.
A new departure this year on the
growers part is that he must sort
his culls at home and not at the ware
house as formerly. '
Packers and warehouse help num
ber over 150 and the tomato crop
makes an excellent fill in for the
workers until prune harvest begins
which is expected the beginning of
August. The regular June and July
drop of prunes is said to be much
heavier than usual.

just over the brow of Geer Spring
grade when the automobile wheels
passed over and crushed it. Mrs. Mc

Boy Scouts Enrollment
Full at Camp Rotary on
Walla Walla River Site
The Walla Walla Union says that
when boys who had enrolled for the
second outing period at Camp Rotary
reported to camp Sunday, the sum
mer headquarters for the Boy Scouts
of the Blue Mountain council, had
been filled to capacity. Boys who are
at camp to enjoy the second period's
activities, number 72. The same staff
is in charge as was at the first camp
of two weeks.'
One of the outstanding accomplish
ments of this year's camp has been
the improvement of the nature trail,
according to Robert Hayes, scout ex
ecutive. The purpose of the trail is
to give the boys training so that they
will be able to better understand
nature. -
This work is under, the supervision
of Prof. J, Stanley Brode of Pendle
ton, camp naturalist and director of
education and advancement. The
scouts are taken over the trail to see
things of nature and to observe them.
About an hour's time is required to
go over the trail and to give about
100 descriptions of plants, trees,
shrubs animals and insects. The trail
crosses three arterial ant highways,
one of which was traced for a dis
tance of 200 feet.
One section of the camp museum
has been completed and the projected
work for this summer calls for the
construction of two more sections.
The museum is one of animals and
insects, and includes frogs, fish, but
terflies, bugs and beetles. Many are
living specimens, while some of
them have been mounted. A large
portion of the museum will be re
newed from year to year, to give the
scouts a greater benefit from the na
ture study.
Rangers at the camp are construct
ing an Adirondack lean-to using logs
for the work. The building has an
open front and provides sleeping
quarters for four occupants.
- New Blackberry Found
What County Fruit Inspector Van
Trump of Marion county declares is
the finest blackberry in existence, if
it will hold up under cultivation as
it shows in its wild state, has been
discovered by D. G. Drager, Marion

Machines Click
ing Away on the
New Wheat Crop
A number of machines are in Athe-
M-na fields clicking away on the new
wheat crop with ideal weather con
ditions for harvesting. Next week will
see every combine harvester in the
community at work and the 1931 har
vest season will be given short shift
Arnold Wood delivered the first
new crop wheat to the Farmers Grain
Elevator company, early Monday
morning, and gram from the W. S,
Ferguson field south of town was the
first to be received at the Preston-
Shaffer mill.
The new crop here shows fairly
good, grade with considerably less
smut than was anticipated. Weights
are said to range between 58 and 60
with the average around 58.
M. L. Watts, who started his out
fit Friday has completed threshing
one field which made a good yield.
Average gram yields are not avail
able for publication in view of the
fact that accuracy can not be obtain
ed until harvesting a field is com
pleted and weights added up. How'
ever, indications are that fields being
harvested this week will range around
40 bushels per acre, with once in
while a field reaching a maximum of
50.
Among the outfits starting up this
week are Wood & Hansen, Read &
Barrett, Bruce Crawford, Henry
Koepke, Amiel Schubert, John Wall
er, Glenn Dudley, Charles Betts, J. N
Scott, Carl and George Sheard, H
Watts and James Bell.
Walla Walla valley farmers are dis
appointed over the returns from the
first certified wheat samples received
from Portland. One grain man had
five certified samples of white wheat.
most of which were from Spofford
district, showing No. 3 and No.
tests with one to three per cent of
smut although Albit variety was free
from smut.
A few samples of red wheat from
the Eureka country tested very well,
being entirely free from smut,"al
though a bit light.
Prescott western red wheat showing
over 60 pounds to the bushel, and
Eureka red were the only districts re
ported to make a No. 1 grading,

Grain Growers Surplus
for Last Year, $117,500
Spokane. Directors of North Pa
cific Grain Growers, Inc., has voted to
allow local units for operating ex
penses one-fourth cent a bushel on all
wheat marketed through the Farm
ers' National corporation.
This allowance would be taken, A.
C. Adams, treasurer- of the North
western Regional said, from the half
cent a bushel fee promised North Pa
cific when the latter group agreed to
permit locals to market their wheat
directly with the national.
The allowance, Adams said, will
give the locals funds for development
of storage and handling facilities.
The directors also voted to reduce
interest on loans to members from 6
to 5 per cent.
Profits available for surplus and
dividends for the first year's opera

. Water Carnival
A number of Athena people attend
ed the water carnival at Freewater
natatorium last Sunday. There was
a good program of swimming and
diving events. Pendleton swimmers
were winners of the relay and 80 yard
free style swim.
Changing of Umatilla county's vot
ing precincts from the original total
of 65 down to 39, should result in a
saving of $2000 at each election, was
the estimate of the county court when
it ordered the reduction, Saturday.
Details of the proposed changes
were worked out by I. M.' Schannep,
county judge and other county of
ficials, providing for the elimination
of 25 precincts by consolidation.
Athena's precincts, 18, 19 and 20
have been consolidated and a like
merger affects Weston. The consoli
dations as decided upon by the coun
ty court are as follows:
Fruitvale and Ferndale; Sunnysi'de
No. 5, Freewater Nos. 6 and 7, and
Church of God No. 8; Milton 9 and
10; Milton 11 and 12; the three Wes
ton precincts; three at Athena; South
Reservation with the Adams pre
cincts; three at Helix; Ukiah and Al-
bee; Noun and the two Echo pre
cincts; and the two at Pilot Rock.
Four consolidations will also be
made In Pendleton. As a result of
these combinations the county will be
able to employ 125 less' judges and
clerks on election boards, will have
25 fewer judges to be paid ten cents
a mile for delivering ballot boxes and
supplies, and will have much- less
rent, fuel bills, and labor expenses
incurred in setting up polling places
to pay for, it is declared.

HEAD
Oregon ranges are in poor to good
condition with livestock making good
gains in areas where feed was im
proved by rain, according to the July
1 report of the Division of Crop and
Livestock Estimates. The drought
which continued until the middle of
June was broken by general rains.
As a result, range feed has improv
ed in western, northern and north
eastern areas but more moisture is
needed in central, south central and
southeastern districts.
Oregon cattle are improving in sec
tions where feed was helped by the
rams. Western cattle and calves are
generally in good condition except in
dry areas, but are beginning to lose
flesh where feed is dry and short.
Oregon sheep show the ill effects
of the cold, wet weather the latter
part of June. In the western states
sheep and lambs have generally done
well but are beginning to show the
effects of dry short feed in some
areas.
With the shortage of moisture and
hot weather, western range conditions
continued to decline, showing the
lov.'st condition on July 1 for that
date in the nine years that range re
ports have been issued. Range feed
is dry and short in California, Utah,
Idaho, Nevada, eastern Washington,
Montana, North and South Dakota
and northeastern Wyoming. Feed tra
ditions me generally good in Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona, western Kan
sas and Colorado. . In Oklahoma and
western Nebraska ranges are getting
dry. 1 High ranges generally carry a
good supply of feed but are drying in
many sections. A serious drouth
covers eastern Montana, western and
northwestern North Dakota, and
stock are being shipped out.
