John Hiatt, W. E. Francis
First to Bag Their
Mule-tail Buck.
ELK SEASON LATER
Three-Days' Hunting to be Per
mitted in Counties to East;
Regulations Announced.
A general exodus of local nim
rods for the timber, with a consid
erably less influx of outside sports
men, marked the opening of the
deer hunting season yesterday. Car
loads of outside hunters began
coming in early Sunday morning,
and occasional cars since, but so
far the number has not come up
to the same period last year.
lrst to land their bucks, accord
ing to reports reaching town yes
terday, were John Hiatt, here from
La Grande, and W. E. Francis,
state policeman. Both landed
young bucks, it was said. Hiatt
is reported to have killed his
shortly after 7 o clock of the open
ing morning. We was hunting In
company with Art Hunt and Dr. A.
D. McMurdo.
Morrow county's Blue mountains
are included In the range xt the
famed mule deer on which the sea
son will remain open to October 25.
Colncldentally, the season Is open
for the same period on grouse and
native pheasants.
Much interest is expressed local
ly In the open season on elk, for
three days only, October 23 to 25
inclusive. Open territory on these
animals Is given by the state game
commission as follows: All of Ba
ker county; Wallowa county north
of the base line and west of the
Imnaha river; all of Union and
Umatilla counties except approxi
mately 20,400 acres in the Conklin
Springs area. The bag limit Is one
bull elk having two or more points
on either horn. An additional li
cense of $2.50 must be paid to se
cure an elk tag.
Hunters are allowed but one
mule deer, but are permitted two
Columbia blacktail deer, any of
which must have forked horns.
Few are the areas closed outright
to entry by hunters, but more
areas require an entry or fire per
mit, announce forestry officials.
Game officials urge all sportsmen
to comply with the fire regulations
and to be particularly careful about
watching for the horns this season
before shooting as there are about
1A0OO extra workers in the national
forests, most of whom are dressed
in olive drab colors. "It would be
an unfortunate Indictment of the
sportsmen in this state If an in

Deadline Near at Hand
For Joining Wheat Plan
September 25 is the deadline for
the wheat signup.
This definite information from
me wneat administration Is now
being broadcast to every section of
tne state by the Oregon State col
lege extension service, in charge of
tne wheat campaign under the
farm adjustment act," in order that
no wheat grower who would profit
Dy tne terms of a government con
tract will not have an opportunity
to join In this voluntary movement
to boost the wheat farmers' income.
Special emphasis Is being laid on
me tact that while the present
wneat plan is a three-year pro
gram, this is the final opportunity
for a grower to join, as after Sep
tember 25 the lists will be closed
until the expiration of the contracts
after the harvest of the 1935 crop.
By "deadline" the government
means that applications for allot
ments under the plan must be made
by September 25, and not that the
actual contracts must be signed.
The final contracts themselves need
not be In Washington until Decem
ber 1. Furthermore, final county
organizations and actual allotments
need not be completed till after the
deadline date.
With this situation in mind,
county agricultural agents and
others officially connected with the
campaign, have been spending
much time in the field this week
assisting growers Interested In
completing and filing their appli
cations. Any grower Interested In
obtaining such assistance may get
In touch with the county agent or
his communtiy, committee, as these
have been set up In all counties
where much wheat is grown.
latest reports to headquarters at
Corvallls show that in the princi
pal wneat counties in eastern Ore
gon the actual signup included 60
to 60 per cent of the growers a week
ago, and that by the final day next
monuay most or the real wheat
counties will show more than 90
per cent signup.
In some of the westorn Oreirnn
counties where wheat production is
more incidental or where much of
the wheat produced Is used locally!
for feed, the Interest Is not as great I
though even there farmers art
finding that they can profit by sign
ing up and getting the assured cash
benefit payments In return for tak
ing 15 percent of their average
Wheat acreage out of that crop.
A more than 90 percent sign-up
of Morrow county wheat growers
under the allotment plan was indi
cated at the close of the all-day
community meetings last week, an
nounced C. W. Smith, county agent
and local director. The Lexington
district apparently would have the
heaviest sign-up, Mr. Smith said,
going close to 100 percent
The work of completing applica
tions for allotment contracts was
pushed along In good shape at the
meetings, with a strong interest
expressed by farmers. "It Is my
opinion that anyone who Is unde
cided at this time as to whether or
not he wishes to contract his acre
age because of something he does
not understand, should make appli
cation and turn it over to the com
munity committee, so that If his
particular problem is worked out
in such a way . that he wants to
sign the contract when it is pre
pared, he can do so," Mr. Smith
said.
Mr. Smith attended a conference
in Pendleton Friday at which C. E,
Mumford, a member of the board
at Washington, gave latest informa
tion concerning the plan. -"It ap
pears that no problem has arisen
so far for which there has not been
an adequate solution," said Mr.
Smith in outlining some facts in
regard to figuring allotments and
in growing crops on contracted
land.
"Where wheat was cut ripe ande
fed to livestock or where It was
pastured off to livestock in the ripe
stage, the yield for those years on
the ground so handled can be est).
mated by the producer and used In
figuring his allotment," Mr. Smith
said. "Any producer who has made
application up to this time who
has not figured his yields on this
basis will be given opportunity to
change his application at the time
the community committee visits his
farm to select the acreage to be
contracted.
"Also, if a place was left Idle
during any one of the years of the
base period, upon special request
to the county allotment committee
the grower may include the 1928
yield on his farm in figuring his
allotment.
"Where fields has been uneven in
size in a regular rotation practice.
the grower will take a 15 percent
reduction on the ground he has
prepared to seed this fall, and will
take whatever reduction that may
be asked for on the ground he
would ordinarily seed for the 1934
crop, thereby equalizing the amount
over a two-year period.
Definite information on what may
be done with the contracted acre
age is given by Mr. Smith as fol
lows: "A farmer cannot grow anything
on the contracted acreage to sell
directly or indirectly. He can grow
feed for livestock and livestock
by-products for home consumption
and feed for his work stock, so that
he can feed them a little better."
Mr. Smith also called attention
to the fact that Sept. 25 is the dead
line date for getting in applica
tions for allotment contracts.

Development of the Columbia
river for navigation and thereby
obtaining lower transportation rates
on wheat which Morrow county
raises, and for flour, machinery and
other bulky products which its peo
ple consume seemed more immin
ent this week.
Senator C. C. Dill of Washington
gained favorable recognition of
Secretary Ickes, public works ad
ministrator, for a 30-foot dam at
Bonneville instead of the proposed
high dam intended to supply Port
land with cheap power. The low
dam it was contended would ade
quately serve the needs of the low
er river for navigation.
Hardly had word of the success
of Senator Dill's proposal reached
Oregon than news was also re
ceived that Secretary Ickes had or
dered a hearing on upper river pro
jects to be held at Pendleton. That
hearing was held Monday afternoon
when all the available details of the
need for and feasibility of the
Umatilla Rapids dam and other up
per river proejets were presented
oetore Marshal N. Dana, regional
director of public works, members
of the Oregon, Idaho and Washing
ton advisory boards and R. L.
Besse, special investigator of Sec
retary Ickes from Washington. D.C.
At Portland news of Dill's low
dam created a furore of protest
Mayor Carson made strong talk of
Doycott or power from the Grand
Coulee, already authorized as a
self-liquidating project Governor
Meier said he would talk directly
with President Roosevelt by phone
announcing the Intended boycott if
the original Bonneville high dam
were not constructed. And Senator
McNary hied himself to Washing
ton to prevail upon the president
to reconsider the original Bonne
ville high dam proposal.
Written strongly into the record
of the Pendleton hearing was need
for development of the Columbia
for navigation. Capt. Ward of
Lewiston, Idaho, gave a two-hour
presentation of the inequality of
northwest freight rates with those
prevailing In other parts of the
country; enumerated wealth-producing
resources the development
or which depends upon obtaining
more adequate rates, which he as
serted would be brought only by
water transportation facilities.
Burton H. French, former rep
resentativee In congress from Ida
ho, summed up the upper-river
case, after presentation had been
made by E. P. Dodd, executive sec
retary of the Tri-State Develop
ment league; George Hartman,
president of the Umatilla Rapids
association; Roy W. Ritner of Pen
dleton, S. E. Notson and others.
French aptly Illustrated the fact
that the farther the river Is devel
oped the more tonnage will be de
veloped and the more traffic there
will be on the lower reaches of the
river. He said there was no fight
among the people sponsoring the
upper-river projects, nor should
there be any fight between upper
and lower river interests. It was
expected that after a full and com
plete picture of the various river
projects had been presented it
would be left to the engineers to
decide the most practical and ser
viceable procedure.
Representatives Walter M. Pierce
of Oregon, Knute Hill of Washing
ton and Myron White or Idaho at
tended the hearing and gave short
talks stressing the importance of
development of the Columbia.
Pierce made an outright, logical
plea for the Umatilla Rapids dam
as the next step In order in such
development. Hill stressed the im
portance of looking to the future,
and of giving power, flood control
and Irrigation their just considera
tion In such development as may
be undertaken.
It has been conceded by all river
interests that President Roosevelt
has the last say. The president an
nounced at the time he okehed the
Grand Coulee dam as a self-liquidating
power project that he would
sanction another dam somewhere
between there and tidewater, the
main purpose of which should be to
aid navigation, to be paid for by
the government out of rivers and
harbors money.

By MARGARET BLAKE
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Balslger and
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Balslger have
returned from Vancouver, Wash.,
where they were called by the Ill
ness and death of Arnold Balsiger,
a brother. Arnold Balsiger will be
remembered by many of the olde
residents of lone. He was Doia In
Highland, 111., June 30, 1870, and
aiea in Vancouver on Sept 12, 1933.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
wife, Hattle, a daughter, Lucille,
and four brothers, Fred and John
of White Salmon, Wash., and Paul
and Louis of lone. He attended the
public schools of Highland and the
normal school at Dixon, 111. After
teaching a few years in Illinois he
came to Oregon where he contin
ued teaching a number of years.
After teaching he followed wheat
raising in eastern Oregon with his
brothers for a time. He then had
a store with his brother, Louis, In
Newberg and later he had a store
at White Salmon. In 1904 he was
married to Hattle Moore of Green
ville, Ore. He then moved to Van

The most recent orders issued by
the C. C. C. officials reveal that all
eastern members who did not
choose to reenlist will be shipped
to the east on the 28th of Septem
ber. The Camp Bull Prairie de
tachment will be sent to Camp Dix,
N. J., where on or about October 5,
all will be discharged.
It is interesting to note that the
number reenlisting was exactly
equal to the number going east
Eighty-six men decided to remain
in the C. C. C. ranks for an addi
tional six months. In this number
are included 34 local men. These
86 men will be discharged and re
enrolled October 1, so that their
new term will expire on or about
March 31.
This group will remain in Camp
Bull Prairie until October 15, When
they will be transported to winter
quarters. The new camp site has
not been decided yet, but there Is
evidence to show that it will be
west of the Cascades, with Califor
nia as the most likely state.
The 1245 company will contain
only C. C. C. men, including army
officers, so that the forest service
men will no longer be with, this
company after Camp Bull Prairie
breaks up. The complete company
will consist of 212 men, and if the
additional men are recruited from
the west, then most likely this de
tachment will join the veterans at
Camp Bull Prairie, and then leave
for the new camp en masse. If,
however, the new recruits are from
the east, then they will probably
join the original members at the
new camp.
There will no longer be combin
ation camps, as the reenlisted men
are now acquainted with the work,
eliminating the necessity of "break
ing in a whole camp.
Although the camp is actually In
half, Charles Davis, camp super
visor, still expects it to function
100 per cent The same crews, In
cluding two road, two building,
range, tower and survey crews, will
continue to work until October 15.
The crews will operate at 50 per
cent of the present strength, and
men will be shifted around so as to
equalize the crews.
Here are some of the reasons giv
en why some of the boys did or did
not reenlist:
Dick Cardwell, reenlisted "In
the first two months In the C. C. C.
I lost 20 pounds. L therefore, re
enlisted so that I could gain this
weight back." (Note He now has
12 pounds to go.)
Boyd Hinton, home "I really en
joyed being a member of Camp Bull
Prairie, but I expect to continue
my education."
Frank Smith, reenlisted Albany
will have to get along without me
this winter because I'm getting
massive muscles out west"
Kay Mansoor, home "The west
is all right but there's only one
Atlantic avenue, and that's In
Brooklyn."
Jimmy dl Gregario, reenlisted
"I just bought a new outfit and it
wouldn't be appreciated back east,
so I'll stay."
Sam Rafsky, home "Mike De
Vito promised to invite me over to
his sister's house in Brooklyn for
a meal. "
Fred Koscluk, reenlisted "I find
that the west Is a good hair re
storer." Schwager brothers, reenlisted
"Since we're Inseparable and since
we both want to stay, we're here
to stay."
Jo Buscemi, reenlisted "I don't
know why."
Jupiter Wilson, reenlisted "It's
cold In New York In the winter."

Bull Prairie Heavyweight
Loses Out in Baker Card
Al "Tamarack" Shasik, Bull Prai
rie heavyweight boxer, lost a de
cision to a lad named Parker In
the finals of the C. C. C. tourna
ment held there, comes a report
from Baker. It was quite a battle
but Parker, who weighed 177
pounds, pounded Al unmercifully,
writes the Gazette Times camp cor
respondent. Incidentally Al weigh
ed 202 pounds for this fray.
In the first round, Al was knocked
down three times and appeared to
be out on his feet, but he came back
for the second round and continued
to fight gamely against his more
experienced opponent
One glaring fault that Al exhib
ited was his continued rushing of
Parker In a determined effort to
K.O. his opponent But all was In
vain for Parker was entirely too
fast and a decidedly much more ex
perienced fighter.
In this manner, Bull Prairie's
sole contender for the heavyweight
championship of the Vancouver
district, C. C. C, was eliminated af
ter battling his way to the finals
with a string of knockouts.
