o Martin Not Wanted
o Cornerstone Laid
o Supt. Pray Weds
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. The enmity which grange
leaders have shown toward Govern
or Martin ever since his induction
into office was reflected in the ac
tion of the State Grange meeting at
The Dalles last week when the far
mers voted down a resolution invit
ing the governor to address the ses
sion. It was the first time since he
became governor that Martin has
not been invited to speak to the
grangers. The action of the grange
on the invitation to the governor was
preceded by the annual address of
Grange Master Ray Gill in which he
attacked the . governor for his al
leged opposition to certain truck
legislation sponsored by the grange.
Press reports from The Dalles quot
ed Gill as charging the governor with
"vetoing" the truck bill which would
have exempted farm trucks from
many of the regulations now hamp
ering the operation of this type of
motor vehicle. The charge brought
a prompt reply from the governor
denying that he had vetoed any
truck legislation and a just as prompt
explanation from Gill to the effect
that he had been misquoted and that
instead of charging the governor
with "vetoing" the truck bill he had
charged him with "opposing" the bill
resulting in its defeat. Governor
Martin in commenting on the atti
tude of Gill and the grange reassert
ed his friendship for the farmers and
agriculture.
The next move in the program for
a new tuberculosis hospital to be
located in Multnomah county is up
to the sponsors of the institution ac
cording to the board of control. Re
plying to numerous requests that the
board take steps to speed up the con
struction program Governor Martin
this week pointed out that he had
signed the bill appropriating $110,
000 toward the new hospital on the
express condition that sponsors of
the bill would secure an additional
$80,000 to supplement the state's con
tribution. This amount, it has been
pointed out, is $10,000 less than the
$90,000 requirement stipulated by
the legislative ways and means com
mittee when it agreed to approve the
appropriation.
Conflicting reports continue to
come from the national capital as to
the status of the federal grant for
the library and office building, con
struction of which was authorized
by the last legislature. One report
has it that PWA officials have agreed
to award Oregon a grant of $450,000
as a continuation of the capitol grant
and on the same terms. That means
without the restriction limiting use
of the federal money to the employ
ment of relief labor. Another report
has it that the gift as an outright
grant with no strings attached de
pends entirely upon the adoption of
a measure now before . Congress
which will extend the life of PWA
for another two years. Ralph Moody,
assistant attorney general, is now in
Washington attempting to straighten
out the tangle which wlil have an
important bearing on the state build
ing program.
The State Liquor Control board is
out to eliminate habitual drunkards
from its list of customers. Courts
throughout the state have been asked
to supply the commission with the
names of persons convicted of drunk
enness so that action may be taken
to cancel their permits. This is only
one of a number of reforms the com
mission is putting into effect in an
effort to "control" the liquor situa
tion in this state.
Interest of state officials and em
ployees this week centers in the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the new
capitol building scheduled for today
(Thursday). Arranged to coincide
with the sessions of the grand lodge
A. F. & A. M. the ceremonies are
expected to attract a large gathering
of Masonic dignitaries as well as
high state officials. A special train
will bring several hundred Masons
from Portland for the program which
is scheduled to start at 2 p. m. More
than 1000 Masons, units of the Ore
gon national guard and at least two
brass bands will take part in a pa
rade which will precede the cere
monies at the new capitol building.
R. Frank Peters, grand master of
the Masonic order, will officiate at
the cornerstone laying, assisted by
Carl G. Patterson, deputy grand mas
ter, F. C. Howell, senior grand war
den, and Leif S. Finseth, junior
grand warden. Col. Alfred E. Clark
of Portland, grand orator, will de
liver the address on behalf of the
Masonic grand lodge, with short ad
dresses also scheduled by Governor
Chas. H. Martin and Judge Lawrence
T. Harris of Eugene.
Chas. P. Pray, superintendent of
state police, and Mrs. Helen G. Ty
son were married at the home of the
latter in Salem Saturday morning,
the ceremony being performed by
Justice Harry H. Belt of the state
supreme court. Mrs. Tyson was as
sistant secretary to Governor Pat
terson.
Regarded by Governor Martin as
"a big boost for Oregon grown flax,
the Boston navy yard this week
placed an order for 61,000 pounds of
flax twine with the Salem Linen
mills.
Henry DeMoss One of
Noted Musical Family
On several occasions in years past
Heppner audiences enjoyed listening
to programs of the famous DeMoss
family. Henry DeMoss, one of the
last survivors of that organization,
died recently. A news dispatch from
Moro in The Dalles Observer last
week says:
Henry DeMoss, pioneer resident of
Sherman county who passed away
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Waldo
Davis in Eugene, was laid to rest in
the DeMoss cemetery Monday after
noon. Services were conducted at
the Presbyterian church in Moro
with the Rev. J. Cunningham, pastor
of the First Christian church in The
Dalles, officiating. Mr. DeMoss and
his sister, Mrs. Davis, were the last
remaining members of the famous
"DeMoss Lyric Bands" that toured
the United States and also Europe,
where they played before the crown
ed heads. He was born in Iowa on
Feb. 4, 1860, and came west with his
father, James DeMoss, when but a
small boy. Surviving him are three
children, Homer B. of Eugene, Eve
lyn who is in the Hawaiian islands
and Beulah of San Francisco, his
sister and his half brother, John of
Moro.

CORRECTION.
In the item last week in which it
was stated that Mrs. Emmet Ayers
and Mrs. Clara Beamer attended De
gree of Honor grand lodge in Portr
land, the name of the lodge was mis
takenly reported. It should have
been Rebekah assembly.
Mrs. Walter Becket was trading in
the city this morning from the Eight
Mile farm. She reported good rains
this week which have helped the
crops materially. She also rpeorted
that her brother-in-law and sister,
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Clark, are now
located at Red Bluffs, Cal., where
they are assisting Mrs. Bertie Kane,
former local beauty operator, at the
Lassen hotel.
Sidney Zinter was a caller in the
city today from the farm in Gooseberry.
Mrs. Ernest Heliker and daughter
Harriet were visitors in the city yes
terday from the lone section.
NEW CORPORATION SEEKS
Continued from First Page
to install modern drilling equipment
capable of going to a depth of 1200 to
2000 feet and deeper if necessary. A
tnuch greater depth than that reach'
ed by the former development com'
pany is necessary, in the quoted
opinion of Dr. Handy, as the section
is underlaid with a thick strata of
basalt, which must be penetrated be
fore there can be hope of reaching
gas and oil pockets. The first well
drilled by the old company was put
down to a depth of but 325 feet, and
the second was abandoned after
reaching but a fraction of that depth,
so that no actual test of the possi
bilities was shown, Cole said.
Land on which the development is
contemplated has passed from the
hands of J. A. Harbke, owner at the
time the former company was in ex
istence, and leases are held by a
group of Portland men including
Lloyd Estes who helped organize the
old company. Cole said officers of
the new company serve without pay.
He, personally, had put considerable
money into organizing the corpora
tion because he had been "sold" on
the possibilities.
Wells Springs first attracted no
tice for its possibilities of gas devel
opment because bubbles escaping
from the spring burned when ig
nited. "
Cole anticipated no difficulty in
marketing the gas if found in com
mercial quantities, citing that gas in
some parts of the country is piped
a thousand or more miles.
R. O. Deulen was in the city yes
terday from his wheat farming oper
ations in the Lexington vicinity feel
ing mighty good over rains of the
last week which have benefitted his
fields greatly. He and other mem
bers of the family attended the Rose
Festival in Portland last week, and
he reported it to have been the best
show ever staged in the city.

FARM BUREAU ORGANIZED
Continued from First Page
of refusing to grant loans on crop
land infested with White Top. Cost
of eradicating the disease under the
most improved methods is about
$100 per acre, which exceeds the val
ue of much of the land which id
threatened along the full length of
Willow creek. Only prompt, decis
ive action at the present time, before
the weed has gained too extensive
foothold, can possibly save the
value of the hay land along Willow
creek. The Morrow County Farm
Bureau voted unanimously to urge
the county court to use every means
in their power to immediately erad
icate all patches of White Top and
urged the cemetery association to
cooperate with the county court in
eradicating this weed from land
within the cemetery.
New members joining the Morrow
County Farm Bureau last night were
Leonard Carlson, M. J. Fitzpatrick,
Ernest Christopherson, Henry Peter
son, lone; Terrel Benge, Frank Sal
ing, O. W. Cutsforth, George Peck1,
William J. Doherty, A. C. Lindsay
Lexington, and John Hanna, Chris
Brown and Alva Jones, Heppner.
