Superintendent Bloom Pro
poses System of Rentals
and Exchange.
E. F, Bloom, v superintendent of
Athena schools is in receipt of a let-
, ter from C. A. Howard, state superin
tendent of public instruction, advis
ine that the 1931 legislative act tro
viding for district ownership of text
books applies only to elementary
schools, and that high school students
will continue to purchase their own
books.
Mr. Howard is urging the organ
ization of book exchanges and the in
troduction of a rental system as i
means of reducing the high school
" textbook expense.
"Many of your students will find it
difficult to obtain the necessary text
books when school opens this fall,"
Howard said m a letter to high school
principals. "Any plan you can work
out for lightening the burden in this
connection will be appreciated by the
parents and by your students. I sug
gest the setting up of book exchanges
in your schools, through which stu
dents may buy and sell used text
books. "I am confident that textbook ex
pense for high school students can be
reduced materially by a rental plan,
and I earnestly suggest that the or
ganization of such a system be in
augurated at the earliest opportune
time. In the. beginning such a sys
tem could not cover all the books in
use in the high schools. If it were
to include only one book for each
grade, such as mathematics, civics and
American history, it would save a
considerable amount of money to the
parents of your high school students.
"I am sure that the high school
principals of Oregon can be depended
upon to carefully study every feature
of the administration of the schools
under their charge, looking not only
to the elimination of every item of
unnecessary expenditure., of public
funds, but to possible reductions in
student expenditures as well."
"At the suggestion of Mr. Howard,"
says Mr. Bloom, "we are urging that
the parents permit the children to do
nate their old texts to the district.
This is being done elsewhere. It was
hoped that the district would be able
to buy second hand books from stu
dents, but this is impossible because
of limited funds.
"By donating second hand books to
the school you may save the district
considerable financial embarrassment
and also aid in reducing taxes. The
text budget is not sufficient to buy all
the books needed.
"Only in cases where there are new
adoptions will texts be purchased be
fore school begins. Others will be
ordered after the students are enroll
ed. This plan is being followed in
order that rigid economy may be
practiced in the purchase of new
books."

Water Protest Presented
- A delegation of Umatilla county
citizens went to Walla Walla Mon
day to confer with Walla Walla busi
ness men and protest against the re
cent action started by the state of
Washington against Oregon to ad
judicate the waters of Walla Walla
river, which flows through parts of
the two states. The Umatilla county
people fear it will cripple a number
of tract and orchard owners who de
pend on the Walla Walla river water
for irrigation.
Says It's Hot
John Pinkerton who left recently
for Indianapolis where he is employ
ed by the Van Camp company writes
that he is nicely settled. His duties
consist of both office arid field work.
He speaks of the heat as being in
tense and already longs for a cool
Oresros breere.
Pilot Uses Head
When His Plane
Strikes a Wire
Bert Coulson, Walla Walla pilot,
certainly "used his head" when his
plane struck a high voltage wire on
the Pacific Power & Light company's
high line in the north part of town,
Friday forenoon. '
Coulson, with "Miss Lela Schubert
of Athena and Dick Robinson, of
Walla Walla, as passengers, took off
from the Schubert field. The plane
had gained but slight elevation when
it was caught in an air pocket and
forced downward. The ship was
headed south and when it struck, the
wire snapped allowing the plane to
proceed with a badly damaged wing.
The pilot managed to keep the
plane on a comparatively even keel, in
the meantime coolly selecting a suit
able place for a forced landing. Glid
ing along but a few feet above
ground, he finally set the plane down
safely in the Reed field south of
town, himself and two passengers
none the worse for their exciting
voyage.
For Miss Schubert, it was her in
itial flight in a plane, and she says
she really did not know the plane had
struck the electric wire until she
landed in the Reed fields Electric
power was automatically shut off be
cause of the accident until linemen
came to make repairs.
At first it-was reported that Ches
ter Dugger was piloting the- plane, it
being known here that he was en
gaged in constructing a ship at his
home near Goldendale, Washington.
Pilot Coulson is a printer, employed
in the office of the Walla Walla
Union.

Pilot Gives Warning
To Forest Service Guard
Portland. An example of how air
planes aid in the detection of forest
fires was reported to Varney Air
lines, operators of the mail and pas
senger service from Portland to Salt
Lake City, Spokane and Seattle, by J.
F. Irwin, forest supervisor of the
Umatilla national forest.
While crossing the Blue mountains,
Roy Warner, pilot, discovered a small
fire. He circled it until he attracted
the - attention of a forest service
guard who was 'traveling by auto
mobile in that vicinity.
Realizing that the maneuvering of
Warner's plane indicated a fire the
guard was able to take action an hour
sooner than would have been possible
through the regular forest service
lookout, according to Supervisor
Irwin.
Warner flew on to Pasco and tele
phoned the forest service to double
check the location of the fire.
"As a consequence, the fire was
held to a small acreage at small cost
and effort," Supervisor Irwin said.
"Such action on the part of your fliers
is very highly appreciated by the
forest protective organizations."
Drunken Motorists Are
Feeling the State Drive
Salem. The drive by state police
to rid Oregon highways of the drunk
en motorists set a new high monthly
figure in August. Twenty-two - ar
rests were made by the state con
stabulary, which resulted in 21 con
victions. The sentences ranged from
$250 fines and 90 days in jail to
$1000 and . one year's suspension of
licenses.
Fifteen arrests for drunken "driving
in July was. the previous high mark.
In June, there were eight arrests, and
in May, five.
Police believe that further state
wide reports in the next few days
will boost the drunken driving totals
for August to 80.

Steiwer Predicts Heavy
Tax On the Rich; An
' Upward Revision Seen
Portland. An increase in the fed
eral inheritance tax, and a stepping
up of the income tax in the upper
brackets was pictured by Frederick
Steiwer, junior United States senator
from Oregon, as the only means
available for the national government
to meet its obligation to its distressed
citizens -in the present emergency
without imposing additional hard
ships on the average man, in an ad
dress before the Portland Kiwanis
club at the Multnomah hotel.
Concentration of great wealth in
the face of extreme need is a threat
to our government institutions the
senator told his listeners. In the time
of stress the able and strong must
bear the burden, he said, in order to
prevent further and greater disaster
through the turning of our popula
tion to dangerous doctrines of com
munism. Quoting from an article written at
the national capital by John W. Kel-
ley, head of The Oregonian Washing
ton bureau, that at least $300,000,000
would be required to meet the needs
of the unemployed this winter, Sen
ator Steiwer said that there was no
way that this could be raised by pri
vate charity. An increase in the
rates of inheritance and income taxes
in the upper brackets is the only ap
parent solution, he said, if our people
are not to suffer great privation.
Concentration of extreme wealth in
the hands of a few is a great problem
for the government to deal with, he
said.
Attended Mail Carriers' Picnic

a four-passenger Ryan cabin ship, on
a passenger run between Pendleton
and Portland. , The smaller ship, an
Aronca, was used for training pur
poses in Rigdon's flying school.

Studnick Is Willing to
Ride Midnight Again
A Salem, Oregon, dispatch to the
Pendleton East Oregonian says
Frank E. Studnick, judged the world's
champion bucking horse rider of the
world at the Pendleton Round-Up,
said here that efforts of Ed McCarty
and Vern Elliott of Chugwater, Wyo.,
to tear down his title ride appeared
to be caused by a desire to maintain
the reputation of their horse, Mid
night. Studnick has been riding outlaws
before the public 11 years, and be
yond that is a long training period
that began on the farm when he was
a boy . of 13 breaking colts. He said
he rode Midnight at least 10 seconds
at Fendleton and he believes the men
who judged the ride are competent.
"But if the owners are not con
vinced ' let them bring Midnight to
the Oregon State Fair and I will ride
him a third time," Studnick said. "I
not only rode him at Pendleton but I
rode him several years ago at Winni
peg when he was labeled the cham
pion bucking horse of Canada.
. Studnick was rated number seven
from the thousands of bucking horse
riders in rodeos of the American
Rodeo association last year. There
are 50 rodeos in the association, and
Studnick got his rating after appear
ing at but nine shows.

Prestbye Stock Ranch
In Path of Forest Fire
Word has been received from Mrs.
Grant Prestbye that upon her re
turn, last week, to her home near
Kalispel, Montana, she found their
cattle range of 500 acres, entirely
burned over.
The fire, which was assuredly in
cendiary, was started about four
miles from the home buildings and
only due to efforts on the part of
fire fighters and an abundance of
water on the place were the house
and barn saved. Contents of the
home were badly blackened by the
dense smoke and are nearly ruined
by a tar like residue caused apparent
ly by the burning pitch of the trees
following the fire. Many household
articles were stolen, especially kitch
en utensils.
So far it has been impossible to
ride the range due to fallen trees
and burning fragments, so the ex
tent f the loss of stock is unknown.
However, a few of the unfortunate
animals have come in with badly
burned feet.
The ranch, which is located about
15 miles from Kalispcll was a valu
able piece of property with fine
meadows in addition to the splendid
range through the forest. The entire
country around is devastated and U
still burning.

Butler, as district engineer at Se

drew the report now in the hands of

but which will not be published until
congress meets in December. His
article, under the title of "The Colum-
bia River For Irrigation and Pow
er" does not discuss the conclusions
of the report but shows many of But
ler's beliefs in regard to the Colum-
He presented six conclusions as
"apparent to all familiar with the
subject."
That navigation on the river is
important only on the tidal section;
that navigation improvements up
stream would be justified only in con
nection with power developments;
that the latter is dependent on suit-,
able dam site; that flood control is
not a problem except on the lower
section of the river; that there is an
enormous area of irrigable land in
the basin and finally that irrigation
is the question of paramount import
ance in considering the basin's de
velopment. :' ' -
"As irrigation is recognized as a
more beneficial use of water than
power generation," said Butler, "it
seems evident that the prop'er ap
proach of irrigating the 1,500,000
acres in the Columbia Basin irriga
tion project and then make the plans
for power development and improve
ment for navigation conform to this '
method as far as practicable."
