NUMBER 42
OREGON SENATOR
TO CALL FARMER
McNary To Summon Farm
Leaders to Washington
for Conference.
The Oregon Journal has received
advices from its Washington cor
respondent that leaders of farm or
ganizations will be invited to Wash
ington by Senator McNary to offer
suggestions for possible legislation
The senator will send out invitations
within two or three weeks. He is un
certain that anything may be done,
but wishes to learn farm sentiment
and discuss the outlook with groups
and organizations.
Commending the president's plan
for mobilization of frozen credits, he
warned that this will be disappoint
ing unless it is done in a broad way,
so the benefits will extend to small
banks and their clients.
Federal officials must be sympathet
ic to small units, he believes, or
much criticism will result.
The senator is completing his plans
for presentation of the Willamette
river improvement before the river
and harbor board next Monday and is
starting letters to Republican sen
ators looking toward committee as
signments in his capacity as chair
man of the committee on committee
McNary discussed with Major
Stuart, national forester, the plans
for road funds in national forests in
Oregon in the next fiscal year, upon
suggestion from Governor Meier that
as a measure of unemployment re
lief the program is possible to be ad
vanced.
Stuart advised him that upon ac
tion by congress one million two hun
dred thirty-five thousand dollars of
federal funds will be ready for con
tract obligation on July first next.
District Convention ; .
The district Rebekah convention
will be held in Freewater, Monday,
October 26, at which time delegates
from lodges of Umatilla county will
be in attendance. An elaborate pro'
gram of entertainment has been pre
pared by the Freewatar hostess lodge,
Integrity No. 175. Mignonette Lodge
of Athena will have an important
part in the program, and Mrs. Alta
Michener and Mrs. Ada Montague
have a duet number. Mrs. Maude
Logsdon will be the outside guard
during the convention. Mrs. Ethel
Meldrum, president of the Rebekah
Assembly of Oregon will attend the
convention and deliver the principal
address.
Quail Return to Game
Farm, Bringing Broods
Homing pigeons have nothing on
eight pair of California Valley quail,
which were forced to fly to safety
when high water hit the Eastern Ore
gon Game Farm last spring and
which returned to the farm last week,
bringing with them a fine family of
69 birds, says the East Oregonian.
After the birds flew over the top
wire of their pens some months ago
and escaped drowning, they nestled
close to the farm in the thick cover
along the Umatilla. When they stag
ed their "Back to the Farm" act they
brought their numerous offspring to
one of the vacant pens in the rear
of the holding pens. Lawrence De
malgalski, manager of the farm, clos
ed the door of the pen and removed
the quail to a larger enclosure. The
birds are still 'at the farm in the ex
hibition pens but will be liberated in
different parts of the county after the
close of the hunting season. -
The high water last spring did con
siderable damage at the farm, includ
ing loss of birds and property dam
age, but nevertheless Mr. . Demalgal
ski has had the most successful year
in the history of the farm, having
raised and liberated over 10,000 game
birds.
Arrested Brother's Killer
Charged with the murder of his
brother Caleb, in Pike county, Ken
tucky, on November 16, 1916, Lloyd
Cantrell, alias Will Williamson, Bend
service station operator, was arrested
at Bend Tuesday on receipt of a tele
graphic copy of a grand jury indict-
ment Cantrell freely admitted that
he killed his brother, but asserts that
it was an accident. He also admitted
that he had previously killed a man
by the name of Mullins in Pike coun
ty, and had been sentenced to serve a
life sentence. He was paroled after
five years.
. Won Audition Final
Miss Joyce Nye, 21, a senior at the
Whitman Conservatory of Music, won
her way to California by a song, in
the state finals of the Atwater-Kent
Radio audition, at Seattle Tuesday
No Profit for the
I Mills Grinding
Grain for China
Flour mills of the Pacific North
west will soon begin grinding on the
second government order for flour for
the Chinese government, the work
starting as soon as the wheat is de
livered to the mills, according to a
statement made by E. H. Leonard,
president of the Preston-Shaffer Mill
ing company, in an interview with
the Walla Walla Uuion, Tuesday.
The first, orders, copies of which
have just been received, call for the
grinding of 300,000 bushels, he said.
This is sufficient to keep all the ac
tive mills in the northwest busy for
seven and a half days, and it is likely
work will be started within the week.
Half of the fifteen , million bushels
of wheat bought by the Chinese is to
be ground into flour and the work
will' be distributed through quite a
long time.
"It is not a profit making proposi
tion," said Mr. Leonard. "Prices to be
paid the mills for grinding will not
bring us out even." ,
Where the Preston-Shaffer company
which has agreed to grind its share
of the grain, will do the -milling has
not been determined. It can be ground
at any or all the mills operated by
the company, or may be "farmed out,"
but Mr. Leonard does not believe the
price offered will result in much
"farming out."
Publishes World's Smallest Paper
Coppock and Ringel
Guernseys Win Again
The Guernsey dairy herds of Wil
liam Coppock and Louie Ringel have
added another collection of prizes in
the show ring. At the Umatilla Pro
ject Fair, held at Hermiston, Friday
and Saturday, the Coppock herd of
nine topped the winnings in the
Guernsey classes by taking thirteen
ribbons, including one championship,
five firsts and four seconds. '
The Coppock. winnings in Guernsey
classes are: Cow over 3 years old, two
entries, first and third; heifer 2 to
3 years old, first; heifer 1 to 2 years
second; heifer under 1 year, first, sec
ond and fourth, three entries; bull
under 2 years, second and fourth, two
entries; champion Guernsey female
won first on cow over 3 years. Win
nings in open dairy cattle classes, all
breeds: Best display of dairy cattle,
first; get of sire, (four animals sired
by. one bull)i first; product of dam
(two animals out of one cow), sec
ond.
Mr. Ringel took prizes on bull un
der 2 years; heifer 1 to 2 years, and
heifer under 1 year.
Perfect weather added materially to
the success of the fair which was at
tended by large crowds both days.
Gate receipts for tr.e last day were
well over $500. Dairy cattle and
poultry exhibits showed a remarkable
increase over former years and dis
plays made for 4-H club members was
the big feature. High school bands
from Irrigon and Pendletonfurnished
inspiring music and a football game
between Pendleton and Hermiston
schools afforded entertainment.
Worst Is Over Now
Every indication points to the be
ginning of better times and, in the
opinion of J. Henry Helser, manager
of the securties department of the
American National- bank, Portland,
and chairman of the state advisory
banking board, the worst is overthe
turn has definitely been reachedKtnd
while some further slumps in the
stock market are td be expected, es

swing should become most marked in
January and February.

qooked Whole Wheat
Is Becoming a Regular
Diet, Is a Cheap Food
A number of local people are ex
tolling the merits of cooked whoie
wheat as a wholesome and satisfying
cereal diet. In the middle west whole
wheat has become almost the exclu
sive food of many farm families in
drought and grasshopper areas of
these states. -
And to assist them to variety in
what might otherwise become a mo
notonous menu Miss Margaret Os
born, food specialist of the Nebraska
college of agriculture, has listed 20
ways of cooking the grain, which is
coarsely cracked or unground.
On farms in the devastated areas
Miss Osborn said she found many eat
ing the unmilled wheat as cereal.
Wheat is selling for 31 cents a bush
el there and is therefore an economi
cal antidote against hunger as many
mills will crack it for a nominal price
or take pay for the service in addi
tional grain.
Experimenting in her own kitchen
Miss Osborn found the most obvious
form of preparing the whole wheat
was as cereal. From her oven it
emerged in a variety of edible forms
as muffins, patties, as a basis for
meat loaf and even simply fried.
Her findings have been embodied in
a pamphlet for the use of the needy
who wish to stave off famine with
whole wheat diet. No one need starve
if he can obtain the cheap wheat, Miss
Osborn believes.
"From the standpoint of nutrition,"
she said, "Wheat is one of our cheap
est sources of 'energy. It is a good
source of protein and wheat bran fur
ishes not only roughage but valuable
mineral salts. It is also a dependable
source of vitamin "B".
Persons afflicted with stomach
troubles, a footnote to her bulletin
warns, should not enter upon the
whole wheat diet without the advice
of a physician.
WX.T.U.Coun- IViolin Owned By
Famous Engineer Buried
Andrew J. Wiley, 72, who during
his life time assisted in building more
dams than perhaps any engineer in

J. M. Swaggart, who resides in the
La Mar' gulch neighborhood, in the
owner of a remarkable old violin
which is thought by musicians who
have seen and played upon the in
strument to be a genuine Stradi-
vanus.
According to information eiven the
Weston Leader by Mr. Swaggart, this
violin was brought into Athena (then
Centerville) 48 years ago by the lead
er of a traveling orchestra playing
for a road show. Those who heard
him at the time recall that he was a
master performer. The show strand
ed, and the -violinist with the im
providence of his kind at the time
was soon penniless. He knocked about
Athena for a time, and finally took
his violin to Dick Donica, a merchant
of the period. To him he pawned his
instrument for $7.50, saying that he
valued it highly and would assuredly
redeem it. He left, and nothing more
was heard of him. Very likely, death
claimed him before he could find the
means to repossess his beloved instrument.
Mr. Donica kept the violin for some
weeks and then sold it, subject to re
demption, to the late Nelson Swag
gart, well known pioneer rancher, at
the price paid for it. At the latter's
passing it became the property of his
son, J. M. Swaggart.
The inside back of the violin bears
the inscriptions:
"Antonius Stradivarius Cremonen
fis." "Faciebat anno 1738."

Cattle and Sheep Are
in Fair to Good Shape
In its Oregon livestock and range
report for October 1, the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics says:
Cattle are in fair to good condition
with some thin ones in dry areas. In
the western states, cattle are general
ly in fair to good codnition, except in
a few drought areas. Shipments have
been heavy from dry sections, with a
decided tendency to hold cattle where
feed and finances permit. Stock cows
and heifers are being held with an at
tempt to hold up breeding herds and
sell steers and calves. There has been
little country trading in the south
west and shipments have been light.
The condition of Oregon sheep is
considerably below the average for
this month. Western fall feed for
sheep is poor to fair except in the
southwest, but sheep are generally in
fair to good flesh except in dry sec
tions. In the northern sections, there
is a larger than usual proportion of
feeder lambs. Poor fall feed has forc
ed early shipments of lambs. The
large supply of old ewes has not
found an outlet or market. Sheep and
lambs have done well in Texas, Ari
zona and New Mexico, where there is
an abundance of feed. Winter sheep
ranges in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Mon
tana. South Dakota, Colorado and
northeastern Wyoming are poor with
little stock water. Western sheepmen
are facing a serious financial prob
lem in securing feed to supplement
short ranges. Short hay and grain
crops and finances will restrict lamb
feeding in most of the western states
except in Texas.
Death of Mrs. Tucker
Mrs. Hattie Anne Tucker, wife of
Sidney Tucker of Weston, died at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.
H. Gould at Weston; Monday morn

held at the Church of the Brethren in
Weston, Tuesday afternoon.
Trout Plantings
Trout plantings' of fingerlings

Board Aids Growers
Loans amounting to $523,245 have
been made in Oregon by the federal
farm board up to September 9,
against which advances of $326,000.19
have been made, with repayments of
$20,219. The statement is made by
the board at Washington, to indicate
the extent of its operations under the
agricultural marketing act in Oregon.
Grain, fruit, wool, poultry and dairy
interests have assisted through as
sociations representing each industry.
Gold Fish Pond
Laurence Pinkerton will soon have

ponds of F. Hampton, near Genessee,
Idaho. Pond lilies and other acquatic
plants will serve to beautify the pond

Washington. The United States
supreme court Monday refused to re
view a case brought by the Oregon
tax commissioners to set aside a de
cision by the Oregon supreme court
holding invalid the state intangibles
tax act of 1929 as applied to indi
viduals. . .
By refusing to assume jurisdiction,
the supreme court upheld the Oregon
supreme court which declared the in
tangibles act invalid.
Thus, under the 1931 act of the
state legislature, the money paid in
for 1929 intangibles taxes must be
refunded to the persons who paid it.
This amounts to nearly $900,000.
The state tax commission is under
stood to have had the forms ready so
the money can be remitted prompt
ly. "
The validity of the intangibles tax
of 1929 was challenged in the cir
cuit court of Oregon for Marion coun
ty in February, 1930, by Redfield &
Wood and others.
They contended the 5 per cent an
nual tax imposed by the act on gross
incomes received by individuals was
arbitrary and unreasonable because it
applied only to individuals and not
to corporations, and to residents and
not to non-residents.
The suit brought against the Ore
gon tax commissioners and other
state officers charged with the en
forcement of the tax alleged it de
prived individual residents of the
equal protection of the law guaran
teed by the 14th amendment to the
federal constitution.
The state replied that corporations
were required by another act to pay
a 5 per cent excise or franchise tax
on annual net income from all sources
including intangibles of individuals
was not discriminatory or arbitrary.
The Marion county circuit court
sustained the law as valid and dis
missed the complaint but the Oregon
supreme court declared it uncon
stitutional and void, holding it in con
flict with the 14th amendment to the
federal constitution. -t
Salem. Refusal of the United
supreme court to take jurisdiction in
Oregon's intangibles tax suit leaves
to the state tax commission no other
recourse than a refund of the $894,
000 in taxes which were collected un
der the 1929 act, was explained by
members of the commission when ad
vised of the action of the court.
