Hoyt Smith, 29, manager of the
Fish Lake report, was killed this
morning In a fall from the tower
located at the dam, and his body
washed through the tunnel, over
the dam and down the creek 7 5
yards before rescued by a fellow
workman. The accident occurred
about 7:45 this morning. Dr. R.
W, Stearns and Coroner H. M.
Conger were notified immediately
but found upon arrival at the scene
that Mr. Smith had been killed
by the fall, not from drowning,
and restoration of life wa impos
sible. Mr. Smith was working on the
tower, when he called to his wife
that he had injured his thumb and
was coming down. Soon after he
called slie saw him fall and thought
at first he was weik and had lain
down. She notified the other work
men, who immediately started a
search for him, discovering that
he had fallen down through the
inside of the tower, a distance of
25 feet.
Hotly Disappears.
The great volume of water had
carried the body from the Inclosed
tower into the tunnel and it had
disappeared when the men arrived
at the opening. Following down
the creek, they found the body
lodged on the rocks 75 yards from
the tower.
The tower on which Mr. Smith
was working was constructed to
regulate the flow of water under
the dam, and opens directly into
the waterway. - - -.
M r. Smith was well known in
this city and throughout southern
Oregon. He Is survived by his
widow,, who is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs, Tom Farlow of Lake
Creek; his father, George Smith
of Wenatchee, Wash., and two
brothers.

'Globe Galloper,' Reveals
Early Ambition for Flight
WASHINGTON, July 2. -The
charge that grain traders
were attempting to prevent far-

today by Chairman titone of the
farm board.
He Ha id that the dewlre to ob
struct growth of cooperative waa
behind the trad era actlvitlea In
preHHlng for a more definite state
ment on stabilization wheat sales.
"I um not going to let them
dictate what Is In the best Interests
of the farmers," the chairman
added. "I think tho pressure to
hold wheut off the market for a
year or until prices have reached a
certain level, was started by them.
At least the only bad reaction to
the new statement made Tuesday
has come from those traders. They
are making "very attempt to dis
credit the farm board and the
Grain .Stabilization Corporation.''
Ktone challenged the grain trade
to demonstrate how a definite pol
icy would increase prices 10 to 20
cents a bushel as the chairman
mild they had claimed would result
from a more detailed statement.
"I do not think that there is
any statement tho farm board
could make that tho trudo would
