Resident of Hermiston Project for Number of Years; Buried at Pendleton. Oregon lost another of her early pioneers in the passing of Francis Marion Beagle of Hermiston, who died at St. Anthony's hospital in Pendleton, Friday, June 28. Mr. Beagle had been in poor health for many years, yet through it all was always more interested in the other person than in himself. He was born in Hillsboro, Ore., October 1, 1845. His parents came to Oregon in the first immigration train. In his early youth Mr. Beagle operated a freight line between Uma tilla and Idaho points when the Indians were quick to attack. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Geo. Genn of Hermiston; one brother, Nausei Beagle, Berkeley, Cal.; a grandson, Edward McMillan, Hermiston; and three great grand- chilren. The funeral was conducted from the Folsom Funeral Parlors in Pendle ton, Sunday afternoon, June 30, by Rev. C. R. Moore, of the Hermiston Union church. He was laid to rest in the Olney cemetery beside his fa ther and mother in the family plot. Job 5:26—"Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age like a shock of grain cometh in in its season."

BOARD AWAITS EFFECT OF FRAZIER- LEMKE DECISION POINTED DOT VOLUNTARY DEBT-ADJUSTMENT AGREEMENTS ENCOURAGED. Fann Credit Act May Make Farm Refinancing More Desirable at Low Interest Rate. Important developments affecting farm-debt adjustment and refinanc ing activities include the Farm Cre dit Act of 1935 recently enacted by Congress and the decision of the Su preme Court declaring unconstitu tional the Frazier-Lemke amendment to the national bankruptcy act, members of Oregon state and coun ty farm-debt adjustment committees point out. Committeemen who are close ob servers of the trend of foreclosure proceedings feel that both of these developments may cause greater use to be made of voluntary debt-adjust ment agreements between farm debt ors and their creditors to avoid un justified foreclosures against farm ers who are doing their best under existing conditions. In respect to the Farm Credit Act of 1935 it is pointed out that with lower interest rates on Land Bank loans, and an extension of time and more liberal regulations for making "Commissioner" loans, more farmers will probably wish to refinance their farm». Although the number of cases filed under the Frazier-Lemke amendment was not large, and the services of the county conciliation commissioners are still available for assisting farm debtors, it is the opin ion of officials of the state debt-ad justment committee that the Fra zier-Lemke decison will result in more activity for the various coun ty debt-adjustment committees. The state committee appointed by the Governor is composed of 21 rep resentatives of large agricultural or ganizations, with O. M. Plummer, Portland, as chairman, and L. R. Breithaupt, Corvallis, secretary. The Governor also appointed a commit tee in each county to assist all farm debtors and creditors who need help In adjusting indebtedness on a vol untary basis.
