For the pat ftfty-eix years Prenident
Campbell ha lived in Oregon, with the ei
ee,ition of a few yearn apent tn Cambridge
while a ntudent at Harvard University, and
a year aa a reporter on the K annua City
Star,
The non of an Oregon pioneer, President
Campbell' life spanned two epoch. He
grew to man-hood when the state waa
evolving from pioneer condition! into a
modern and progreaxive commonwealth,
and he contributed over a long period to
the development of education, which par
alleled the phenomenal advance in other
lines. In point of year of continuous ser
vice he wan among the aenior college preai
dcnU in this country.
President Campbell's anceutry was Scotch
Irioh. Hia great-great-grandfather came
to New Orleans from Scotland while a
young man. The prendient'a father, Thorn -aa
Franklin Campbell, waa a native of Lou
tuinna. He waa itudiou and amhitioun, en
tered Hethany College, Virginia, and re
ceived hi degree In the classical course.
Jane Kliut Campbell, President Camp
bell's mother, born in north Ireland, wan
the flrtt cousin of Alexander Campbell,
the founder of the Christian Church. She
came to America when she waa 19, and
lived In the household of her cousin until
her marriage in 1M to Thorn aa Franklin
Campbell. Alexander Campbell preached
throughout the border states of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia. West Virginia, and
also in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Mis
souri. It was Alexander Campbell who launched
an educational movement within the church
that was later to lead to the establishment
in distant Oregon of Christian College,
Monmouth, presided over hy both Thomaa
Franklin Campbell and as the state normal
by Prince L. Campbell, Alexander was
of Scotch-Irish parentage and waa orhrHi wi
ly b Presbyterian. Karly In hia career he
became identified with the Heceders from
the 1'renbyterian Church, believing In a
more liberal interpretation of the Scrip
ture. Hia first educational experiment
waa tried at Itethnny, W. Va., near hia
home, in 140. but It proved a disappoint
ment. It remained for a group of devout
Illinois members of the church to bring it
to success in Oregon.
President CampbeH'a father studied law
after his marriage and went to Texas for
the purpose of practicing his profession.
Here he begun teaching, and he afterwords
taught in Kansas and Missouri until lttfiS.
Political and social life in Missouri waa
disorganized because of the Civil War, and
he looked toward the West as his goal.
With hia family he took passage aboard a
aide wheel river boat up the Missouri, and
after a long trip in which the party at
one juncture was molested by Indians, ar
rived in Helena, Mont.
President Campbell was fond of telling
of the early days in the frontier town,
Near the Campbell home was a tree, which
served aa a convenient place for a gibbet.
The Montana vigilantes hnnged a road
agent or two. and President Cum obeli's
mother would not permit her children to
look out the back door in the mornings
until she waa sura they would see ao sight
of a law-breaker expiating hia crime from
the stout limb of the tree.
Thomas Franklin Campbell was called to
the nreaideiicy of Christian College in Or.
egon in the fall of lHfitf. anfl the family
set forth in a stage coach on its second
westward journey. The school at Mon
mouth had been founded by a group of
Illinois men, who decided In IHfiO to found
homes and build a Christian school "where
men and women alike may become schooled
in the science of living and in the prln
ciples of religion." No move was made
'until 1 Kr4 when the area now occupied by
the town of Monmouth was chosen and the
college founders donated the college Dim
pus. In lBfiB a wooden building was erect'
ed on the present site of the normal school
at a cost of fft.flOO and other Improvement
were made in Thomas Franklin Campbell's
early administration. In 1H7I there were
1B0 students enrolled, with four instructors
In charire.
Prince L. Campbell obtained his early
education In this early Oregon college
whore the elder Campbell had establinhed
three departments: primary, preparatory,
and college. In 1HH0, the year following
Prince h. Campbell's graduation, there
were IRA dwellings and business homos In
Monmouth, and H35 Inhabitants. After his
graduation, he tnught classic) In Christian

House and Contents
Destroyed by Fire
The residence on the Sanford can
yon raneh of R. A. Thompson was
totally degtroyed by fire on last Fri
day morning. The fire broke out
about 10 o'clock, and Mr. Thompson
states that it must have started from
a defective flue, the roof over the
kitchen being all ablaze when dis
covered. The most of the contents
were destroyed also. Mr. Thompson
places the loss at $2500, partially
covered by insurance.
There was ft very heavy wind blow
ing at the time of the fire, and for
tunately, the harvest crew was laid
off and all the men were right at the
house when the alarm was given. By
dint of the hardest kind of work some
of the contents were gotten out and
the fire prevented from spreading to
other buildings and the hay stacks
near by, and also kept out of the
grain field. Just near the house the
grain had been headed and the stub
ble was very heavy and dry. but ow
ing to the favorable direction of the
wind the stubble was not fired. Had
the fire reached the grain, Mr. Thomp
son thinks there would have been no
stopping it for miles, and the damage
would have been great. Richard Pe
terson and family were living in the
house, and they suffered loss of
household goods, while Mr. Thomp
son had a perfectly good electric
lighting plant destroyed and consid
erable other valuable property in the
residence.
Copper Carbonate Dust
Is Good Smut Remedy
Copper carbonate dust for wheat
smut control, introduced into Oregon
by the experiment station and car
ried to the farm by specialists and;
county agents of the extension ser
vice, is past the experimental stage1
and fast coming into general use. I
Wheat for 300,000 acres was dusted!
last year, and enough for half a mil-!
lion acres will be for next year's
crop, thinks E. R, Jackman, exten
sion specialist about half the total '
Oregon wheat acreage.
A saving of one-fourth of the seed,
is one big advantage of the dust treat
ment This will save about 350,000
bushels annuaHy350,OOO or more
for the growers' pockets. The seed
germinates more quickly and surely
and the plants are more vigorous
from the start, Low cost of treat
ment, keeping power of treated grain,
and effective smut control are other
big advantages.
Failure of growers to allow for the
added thickness of stand by retiming
the amount of seed sown caused too
thick stands in some fields. The bet
ter germination of the dust method
justifies reducing the common rats
of seeding from 60 to 75 pounds per
acre to 45 to 55 pounds.
Control of smut has been shown by
field and nursery tests to be about
the same with the dust rightly ap
plied as with the liquid bluestonc
treatment. Every grain must be
dusted, which is best accomplished
by running the machine at the pre
scribed speed according to directions.
When run too fast the machine holds
the grain against the drum instead oT
tumbling it over the barrel boards to
get its share of dust.
Two ounces of fine, good quality
copper carbonate dust to each bu
shel of clean grain, or three ounces
for badly smutted grain, are recom
mended by the station. The wheat is
rec leaned and smut balls removed be
fore treatment. Care is taken not
to breathe the dust either in treating
or sowing the grain.
Wild Buffalo Roundup
At Yellowstone Park
Superintendent Albright of Yel
lowstone National. Park advises that
Buffalo round-up in the Park will
commence August 30th, continuing
for about a week or as long as the
public demand it. There will be a
camp of Crow Indians and the exhi
bition will take place on the south
side of the Lamar river approximate
ly 15 miles from Camp Roosevelt.
People will be carried from the Can
yon hotel and Canyon Camp to Buf
fao Ranch hy busses. Box lunches
will be provided by hotels and camps.
After luncheon guests wilt be taken
in old time stage coaches to Lamar
river and one of the thrills of the
trip will be the fording of the river.
It will be necessary to drive about
two miles beyond the ford to the
point where the buffalo show will
take place. Buffalo will be rounded
up by Indians in full costume riding
horses bare back.
Many prominent people will be pres
ent including a number of congress
men and probably the Chief of Staff
of the United States Army, Some
people are coming long distances to
see the show which will be spectacu
lar in a high degree and reminiscent
of pioneer days on the great plains
when the buffalo was such a conspic
uous feature in the wild life of the
West.
Regular tickets through Yellow
stone ParV will of course include all
of the expense except what may be
necessary for the side trip from Camp
Roosevelt, one of the stations be
tween the Conyon Hotel and Mum
moth Hot Springs. It may be any
where from five to ten dollars. Vis
itors to the park will do well to eek
particulars of the railroad agent fur
nishing the tickets,

S,
State Market Agent.
On the Cadle Bros, farm, one mile
west of Rickreall, there is now in op
eration a grain cleaner, which the
Portland office of the federal grain
investigation department wishes that
grain growers who can, would see in
operation. The cleaner is called a
"grain aspirator" and it will clean
any grain of weed seeds or light
foreign material. It is inexpensive,
light, ean be attached to any standard
thresher and it requires but little
power for operation.
Federal statistics state that in 1923
approximately 475,000 bushels of
dockage were produced in Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon. This great
volume of screenings was shipped in
to the terminals with the wheat;
freight was paid on it, handling costs
and insurance were added, and it was
a total loss. Kept on the farm the
screenings have feed value and mar
keting costs are greatly reduced.
Cadle Bros, are now threshing and
it will be worth the while of any
grain grower or buyer to investigate
this machine with the view of reduc
ing a great economic waste.
The Producers Get It.
A third payment of $20,000,000 has
been made by the Western Wheat
Pool on account of last year's crop
on the prairies. But for the pool that
twenty million dollars would have
gone, not to the producers of wheat,
but to thoae who handle the grain af
ter its production. Toronto, Canada,
Sun.
They Only Produce.
The trouble with farmers is that
while they raise the crops they have
to depend on someone else to raise
the price. Albany Democrat.
A Consumer's Protest.
"Many different requests and pro
teats from all over the state come to
the State Market Agent's office," says
C. E. Spence. "One received the first
of the month was f ron a Portland
lady, stating that she was a member
of the Housewives' Council, enclosing
an English market report printed in
a Toronto paper .which quoted the f-ol
lowing prices of bacon in London :
Danish 23c to 25c; American 21c to
22c; Irish 24c to 28c. The lady want
ed to know why our bacon was sold
at this price, after the expense of
shipping it two thousand miles, while
the price in Portland was 36c to 40c.
She was referred to the meat packers.
Fruit Prices Are Good.
The extremely dry weather since
June 1, together with spring frost in
jury and the damage of last winter
have considerably reduced the fruit
production of Oregon, and because
of the curtailment prices are good
and growers are expecting fair re
turns. Prune shipping organizations
are applying rigid grading and in
spection this year and they will make
shipments systematically.
Moving to the Cities,
Although the increase in population
of the United States is over a mil
lion a year, last year two million peo
ple moved from the farms to the cit
ies. Low returns and high taxes are
the two reasons generally given. Gov
ernment statistics state that farm
wages in this country have increased
over 200 per cent during the past
fifty years, while taxes have far in
creased this ratio.
Potato Inspection Pays.
Oklahoma is following Oregon and
is working to standardize the potato
industry. In 1924 there was no
shipped-out stock inspected, while up
to August 1 of this year nearly a
thousand cars had been federal
state inspected and found ready mar
ket outside. Standardization of neaiv
ly everything is demanded and it is
those who get in early that get rep
utations and permanent markets.
Sovereign Grand Lodge

out Oregon and Washington at this
time in the meeting of the Sovereign
orand Lodge of Odd Fellows, which
takes place in Portland September 21
to 25. This is the gathering of the

other fraternal organization in the
world, there being approximately 2,-
700,000 members. The state of Ore
gon has 43,000 members. Every city
And small hamlet has its Odd Fellows
lodge.
Much effort is being put forth in
Portland to make the gathering a big
success, coming as the final gathering
of a big convention year. The city
alone is contributing from its com
bined convention fund $20,000 for the
entertainment of the visitors.
There will be drill teams and de

BREAKING INTO THE
THE TAY TOOK WiS
FIPST
,
CORONER'S HEARING AT SALEM INTO
DEATH OF GUARDS IS SENSATIONAL
Salem, Aug. 18. Ellswortb Kelly
and James Willos, two of the eon-'
victs who escaped from the Oregon
state prison here in the break of Wed
nesday, stood for three or four min
utes in plain view of the guards in
both towers number one and seven
and during that time both guards had
their guns trained on the pair but
ignored the plea of other guards and
failed to shoot This was the sworn
testimony of five guards before a
coroner's jury which convened yes
terday at the order of Coroner Lloyd
Rigdon and District Attorney John
H. Carson, to investigate fully the
circumstances surrounding the death
of two guards and one convict and
the escape of three desperate crim
inals in the daring break last Wed
nesday. Disclosures Are Made.
It was but one of the sensational
disclosures yesterday which among
other things indicated that "Oregon"
Jones and Ellsworth Kelly had been
permitted to cell together, that John
Davidson, prison guard trapped m
the turnkey's office, was expected to
carry a gun but did not have one on
the day of the break, and that Guard
Nesmith, also in the turnkey's office
at the time of the break, had a re
volver within easy reach but failed
to get it for use although he had
plenty of time to do so.
Statements that if the guards in
towers one and seven had shot soon
er the break might not have been
successful came from Robert Craw
ford, Peter White, Charles McKinley,
E. C. Charleton and S. B. Sandifer.
Guard White testified that he was
in the turnkey's office when Murray
rushed in brandishing a knife and
telling him that if he failed to obey
instructions he would "cut his heart
out." When Murray noticed David
son and Nesmith in the office on the
other side of the room he turned to
cover them and White who was stand
ing near the door, fled and ran to the
front of the building. There he
found Kelly and Willos coming down
the rope. After finding that he could
not get out of the gate to get a gun
White went back to where the two
had reached the ground and putting
his hand into his pocket as though he
had a gun, ordered the two to put up
their hands. They did and for sev
eral minutes stood thus until Jones
came out of the arsenal and told them
to get their guns.
Had Guns Trained.
Questioned bv District Attorrney
Carlson, White declared that ho had
noticed both guard towers and that
Holrr.an in No. 1 and Hubbard in Ni.
7 both had their guns trained on the
two convicts in front of him.
"I wanted them to shoot so I stepped
back a few feet to give them a clear
shot and .motioned to Hubbard to
choot," White reloted. Hubbnrd in
No. 7 made no response.
1 hat both Holman and Hubbard
had warning of the break was given
in the testimony of Robert Crawford,
hend of the flax plant, who was trap
jvc out in the yrd when he rounded
the south corner of the west wing,
hy Murray who ordered him not to
move.
"When I first snw Murray and t'te
rope dangling at the front of the
building I hollered 'break' at the top
of my lungs," Crawford declared.

When Murray finally left him to go
to the arsenal after a gun, Crawford
ran into the basement of the admin
istration wing and it was not until
after three of four minutes from the
time that he entered the basement
that he heard the shooting begin, he
testified.
Didn't Want to Shoot.
Why Hubabrd in guard towncr No.
7 failed to shoot was explained on the
stand by Charles McKinley, who ran
to Hubbard's tower after escaping
from the turnkey's office after a tus
sle with Oregon Jones.
Hubbard told me that the men in
the yard had their hands up and that
he didn't want to shoot a man who
apparently had surrendered," was
McKiniey's story.
Further evidence that Hubbard, at
least, was informed that there was
a break was given by S. B. Sandifer
who at the time of the break was in
the guards' quarters across the street.
When the alarm in the guard house
sounded he ran out, ran to the front
gate where he was unable to get in
and where he witnessed the descent
of the men from the roof. When he
saw that he was not going to get in,
he declared, he ran along the wall
toward tower 7, calling to Hubbard
to shoot.
Hubbard will probably be called
before the jury some itme this after
noon after it convenes at 1 o'clock.
Turnkey Is Rapped.
John Davison gave evidence against
the conduct of Turnkey Nesmith with
the statement that at the time of the
break there was a revolver in th e
drawer of the desk at which Nesmith
was sitting. Murray was the first to
enter the arsenal and it was he who
fought with Davison. As soon as the
fight with Murray began, Davison
called to Nesmith for help, which he
declared yesterday was not answered
in any manner. It also developed that
Davison was in the turnkey's office
for the purpose of protecting the
turnkey during the dinner hour, but
that he did not have a gun.
Warden Dalrymple, it was said, was
the first warden to place an extra man
in the arsenal during the dinner hour
when the line passes through the
chapel. It was his intention that this
extra guard have a gun, and the guard
did carry one until a month ago when
Charles Charleton, ex-principal keep
er, ordered Davison not to take a
gun into the turnkey's office.
More evidence on prison rules and
customs was given by George Robin
son, chapel guard, who declared that
despite the fact that the Jones-Murray
gang was noted for desperateness,
Oregon Jones and Ellsworth Kelly
were permitted to live in the same
cell and ail of the four men involved
in this break were celled in the same
tier of the same ward tn the same
wing.
Willos Is Moved.
James Willos, he declared, had been
moved near the rest less than a month
ago from the south wing to the north
wing. James R. Carey, head chapel
guard, responsible for the change and
the celling, had previously denied that
Jones and Kelly be celled together
and had declared that he moved Wil
los because Willos had been in a cell
facing the back of the prison and
wanted to come to a front cell on ac
count of the "front view."

trucks are bringing the grain to
Heppner as fast as it is threshed.
The yield is good but the grain is
light, one truck man telling a rep
resentative of this paper that the
average was 120 pounds to the sack,
This truck was making several trips
a day from Hardman, landing 165
sacks of grain at the warehouse, and
when the Heppner-Hardman market

Various garages in Heppner are
preparing for the work of testing and
adjusting lights under the new Ore
gon law. This law goes into effect
September 1st., and all machines
must have their lights properly ad
justed by that date, and drivers be
prepared to show their certificates
that they have complied wiht the re
quirements. Robert Barr and wife and two chil
dren of Mt. Vernon, Wash., arrived
here on Thursday evening last, re

When Oregon Jones, Murray and
Kelly were returned from their dar
ing break in March 1924, they were
not placed in the "bull pen" or given
any kind of discipline, Carey testi
fied. He asserted that the men had
been placed near each other because
the place was more easily seen by the
chapel guard than any other place in
the prison.
The rifle marksmanship of guards
at the prison came up for criticism
during the testimony of John Dav
ison. Davison was asked by District
Attorney Carson if the guards had
regular rifle practice, and if he knew
what their marksmanship average
was. The guard replied that prac
tice was held twice a month. No
standard of ability was required of
guards, he declared. Targets nine
and three quarters inches in diameter
were used for free style practice at
a hundred yards.
"Are the guards good shots?" he
was asked by Carson
"Some are and some aren't. There
are some pretty good ones and some
pretty bad ones."
Asked to explain the proportion be
tween them he replied that there were
nbout "fifty-fifty" of good shots and
"those who weren't.
As far as he recalled, he declared,
Holman and Hubbard were not good
shots, Holman averaging about one
out of five hits on the nine and three
quarter Inch bullseye at 100 yards.
Sweeney waa an average shot, he
judged.

for a state income tax, but it does
not solve the farmers' problem. Nor
do I consider that reduction of freight
rates will solve the problem of the
farmer.
"What we need is a competent mar
keting system. If this ean be brought
about, then the farmer will be ma
terially assisted. I have been con
nected with a marketing association
which covered nine states. Nowhere,
however, could we sign up more than
25 per cent of the farmers and with
only 25 per cent of the growers in a
co-operative marketing association it
is impossible to bring about the ben
efits which we aim at.

When examining children in Ore
gon, one is strongly impressed with
the large proportion who show signs
of slight rickets. As many as three-
quarters of the children attending
clinics often show "bumps' on the
head, grooving of the ribs, slight bow
legs and other signs, and give his
tories of delay in the appearance of
, the fit afld Sn 8tarting
walk. The symptoms are rarely very
severe, and are usually found in ar
tificially fed children, tho not always.
Rickets is a disease of infants and
younger children in which the bones
do not become hard as quickly as
they should. It was formerly thought
to depend on the amount of lime In
the food. While this may sometimes
have something to do with the case,
we know that the true cause is s
queer mixture of lack of a "vitamine"
in the food and insufficient sunshine.
When a child gets sufficient sunlight
it rarely develops rickets. On the
other hand, the sunlight may be in
sufficient, and yet rickets be pre
vented or cured by giving some fatty
food which contains the necessary
vitamine. Cod liver oil is one of the
best of these foods. Other fats, which
do not ordinarily cure rickets, may
develop this property when they are
exposed to sunlight Cod liver oil
might be termed "bottled sunlight"
In this Northwest country, what
between winter clouds and summer
smoke, a baby is hard pressed to get
enough sunlight to keep from getting
rickets. This is especially true of
babies who are born late m summer,
and see rery little of the sun through
the first, important growing months,
Mothers should see to it that their
I babies get the advantage of what sun-
shine there is: preferably under the
which has passed through glass win
dows does no good at all, because the
results are due to the ultraviolet part
of the light, which is filtered out by
glass. '
The best plan is to give all babies
cod liver oil, particularly during the
dull months. In moderate doses it
can do no harm, as it ia not a medi
cine, but just a special food contain
ing a very necessary element Young
babies don't have a well-developed
sense of taste, and usually learn to
love the oil. The amount of rickets
which usually develops In unprotected
children here is not severe or espec
ially dangerous, but may leave slight
permanent disngurementa, and may
perhaps even sliirhtly cripple the
child. Therefore plenty of sunshine,
or else cod liver oil!

Our navy will make experimente
with what ia called the "death atroke."
It ia an interesting invention guaran
teed to destroy all life with which it
eomea in contact within ft radine of
twenty miles.
It ia horrible but WELCOME. Make
war dangerous ENOUGH and war
wilt atop. Don't believe the ignorant
millions who think that s thing al
ways will be, because it always HAS
been.
Two men pointing automatic pistole
at each other's hearta don't ahoot.
That only happens when one of them
gets the drop.
Mr. Aldrich, prosperous lawyer, ia
sued for divorce. His wife allege a
cruelty. He replies, "My only cruel
ty waa almost atoning her to death
with jewelry." He spent $175,000 on
jewelry, gave the lady $35,000 aable
coat, a chinchilla coat costing $8,000,
and securities worth $100,000.
The lady replies that Dot sables,
not jewels, not securities, not even
the fur of the chinchilla, most inter
esting tittle animaL can give rent hap
piness. She's right. But in thia world we
measure everything with money. The
lady's lawyer, George Gordon Battle,
demands for her alimony of $75,000
year. The Court can give her that;
it cannot give her love and affection.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN made
many speeches worth hearing and the
world applauded.
What would the world give if he
could come back and make another
speech of thirty seconds on "What I
Saw, What I Felt, What I Knew,
Where I Went, the Minute After I
Died?"
The British Government, to fight
depression in British trade, will un
dertake international world advertis
ing on gigantic scale. Thia proves
again what everybody knows, that
Great Brtiain has statesmen working
for her.
Five billions dollars will be appro
priated at first to boom eoioniat
goods. The idea of the British Em
pire, solid and sound as ft steel bul
let, is that QUALITY, PLUS ADVER
TISING, ean overcome any trade de
pression. Anybody can stand poverty, be
cause almost everybody is compelled
to stand it. We have plenty of prac
tice. Few can stand prosperity.
Farm lands on the edge of Detroit
have boomed, and farmers have sold
out at prices never dreamed of. Now
fifteen of the suddenly rich according
to doctors, are nervously unbalanced.
The shock was too much for them.
In poverty they could have kept their
balance indefinitely.
Two young roughs, each a gang
leader, engaged in a, fist fight, and a
blow on the head stretched Anthony
de Lucca, seventeen, dead on the side
walk. The police will do something about
this, because it wasnt ft "regular
fight," with ropes around the fighters,
ruffians watching and gate receipts
that make it profitable to violate the
law. How long will the Stites dis
grace themselves by licensing bru
tality? The marriage of a young girt in
the Vanderbilt family has caused
newspaper discussion. A Protestant
Bishop performed the ceremony, al
though the mother is a Catholic and
her daughters were brought up in
the Catholic faith.
All that is the business of the fam
ily and those immediately concerned.
But in one statement made by the
family you observe the ancient wis
dom of the Catholic church.
When young Mr. Vanderbilt, a
Protestant, married Miss Fair, a
Catholic, it was stipulated on the
mother's behalf that all daughters
born of the union should be brought
up in the Catholic church. There is
wisdom. Daughters become mothers,
influence the children and men about
them, and form the next generation.
The church that has the mothers
on its side is the church that will
survive, for mother: create and guide
the children and influence the men.
