J- : v Heppner Gazette Times, July 16, 1942 5 !': .AT gTHE Washington, D. C, July 16. Pro tests continue against the refusal of the Southern Pacific to restore train service between Grants Pass and San Francisco. The railroad now transfers passengers at Dunsmuir, places them in a motor coach and ships them north. There is under construction a vast army cantonment at Medford and the refusal of the railroad to operate passenger train service into Medford and Grants Pass is regarded as a serious handi cap. The subject has been taken up with the division of railroad trans portation, office of emergency man agement, and this is the reply of the head of that division to a member of the Oregon delegation: "Don't you feel that the Southern Pacific is now rendering all of the service that should be required of the railroad between Medford and San Fran cisco?" Latest WPA project held up in Oregon is to construct a water line in Yamhill. The project has been approved by the president as eligible for WPA funds, but the report is STAR Reporter FRIDAY-SATURDAY Zane Grey's Lone Star Ranger John Kimbrough, Shclia Ryan, William Farnum, Geo.

(WPA projects are intended to fur nish work for the needy). There is also the little matter of priorities for pipe, and David Nelson of the war production board is refusing prior ities on pipe and other metal for civilian purposes. It is practically certain that alien Japanese will not be used on the De schutes project, which will soon be suspended because of the abolish ment of CCC, several hundred CCC boys having been engaged in the clearing and other work. Not wish ing the project to be suspended for the duration, a proposal has been made that the alien Japanese be lo cated there and carry on the work of the CCC boys. Japanese are now working in the Klamath basin coun try on the dry bed of Tule lake; oth ers are on a project in Idaho. The relocation commission, handling these aliens, investigated the Deschutes TUESDAY Adults 25c Bargain Night Childrea 10c situation but has not arrived at a decision. Indications are, however, that the idea will be turned down. Growers of cover seed will do bet ter this year than last. Triple A has finally announced prices. Grow ers of hairy vetch and crimson clo ver will receive 10 cents a pound; price was 7.25 cents last year. Com mon vetch, ryegrass and Austrian winter peas will be 5 cents; was 3 cents last year. Willamette valley vetch will be 6.5; was 5 cents a pound last year. Handling charges allowed dealers will be 40 cents per 100, ex cept for crimson clover and hairy vetch, for which they will be al lowed 45 cents per 100 pounds. Government agencies have turn ed thumbs down on at least two new industries for the Portland area (government was to do the financ ing) on the grounds (1) that there is insufficient power available, and (2) there is a shortage of labor. There is an abundance of power and there will be all the labor de sired, providing the federal housing administration will supply some sev eral thousand dwellings, portables or dormatories, for the workers who now go to Portland but after a short time throw up their jobs in a ship yard because they can find no place to sleep. The housing problem will be solved, although officials take their time. Canned boysenberries from Mar ion county have been sent to Claude Wickard, secretary of agriculture. Little is known of the boysenberry in the national capital and the quar termaster department has no infor mation on them. However, the quar termaster at San Francisco has ag reed to take them instead of black berries if Oregon canners meet the prices quoted for blackberries. Sec retary Wickard has been informed that the crop of boysenberries will be about 1,000 tons. City housewives are offered 2 cents a pound for the grease they save and sell to local meat dealers. The latter will receive 1 cent for handling. From the grease, which must be drained and put in covered tin containers, glycerine will be ex tracted for TNT. This is just another of the salvage drives being promoted by the government to convert waste into useful purposes. The waste pa per drive was so successful that it was stopped. A series of drives is planned for the future. Bigshots in the war work do not last long. Bill Knudsen and Sidney Hillman were the works six months ago. Now Knudsen is a three-star general and has disappeared, and Hillman has returned to his job with the union. HORSESHOES We have sizes 1 to 6 in stock. Plates or fit up.
