O. Daniel son. 83. a Gall creek
miner, despondent over Ill-health,
and the detention of his aon In a
stat Institution at Salem, who com
mitted suicide Wednesday evening, by
laying two sticks of dynamite on his
back and lighting a fuse, left a fare
well letter. Coroner H. W. Conger dis
covered In his Investigation.
The letter, found In a. writing
tablet, and unsigned, Is as follows:
"Dear air:
"What have I done you after I have
both to starve and commit suicide.
What la my crime? Been warning
you time and again. It has been to
my destruction. Why don't you come
home and do something here. I
could never believe "liat you were a
hardened soul. I can forget, but
when you believe In the devil, and
listen to others talk, they do not
talk to help you any, and to mention
a good God. What about It?
"I am getting weaker every day,
and some day will quit living. I wish
you would be home, so you can sell
out and be yourself."
Funeral services await the arrival
of a niece, residing In Portland, who
la on the way here by auto.
Danlelson's body was found by
neighbors and Deputy Sheriff O. W.
Dunford Thursday. The aged man
who operated a small mine on Galls
creek, and had threatened suicide the
day before, had tied two pieces of
dynamite together, and placed them
around his neck, with the explosives
resting on his back. He then lighted
the fuse and with a clgarett In his
mouth, had seated himself on a log
and calmly .waited for the beast.
He was found beside the log. The
exploding dynamite, enough to blow
a body to bits, spent most of Its force
upwards. A hole was blown In Dan
lelson's back, causing Instant death.
Besides 111 health, letters found In
the cabin Indicated that Danlelson
waa worrying deeply over the absence
of hla son, and that he pined for his
companionship.

PAY FULL
ROAD TAX, CLAIM
At the meeting of truck operators
held in the Armory Wednesday night
Mr. Richards, representative of the
Farm Rate council, brought out facts
on truck operations which he quoted
as materially affecting the Interests
of Rogue River valley.
According to Mr. Richards, thor
ough Investigation of the state rec
ords at Salem shows that the trucks
of Oregon are paying their full share
of taxes for the maintenance of state
highways.
"It ii now a matter of record," he
said, "that a law similar to the
Freight Truck and Bus Bill, sponsor
ed by ex-gcvernor Oswald West, was
recently passed In Texas and soon
after the passage of this new law the
Texas railroad commission gave the
Texas railroads permission to raise
their rats to the level which they
were before motor truck competition
brought them down."
Mr. Richards stated that If the
Freight Truck and Bus Bill is passed
In Oregon the private car owner s
license will have to be Increased in
order to raise enough money for the
maintenance of ovir highway system,
due to the "drastic reductions which
will prohibit the trucks operating and
helping to pay this cost of our high
ways." It waa also announced that be
ginning June 23 there will begin a
series of radio talks over KXL at
8:15 p. m. bringing out other facts
concerning truck operations which
will be of Interest to the people of
the valley.

Dry Leader Undecided
On Support of Hoover
PORTLAND, Ore.. June 24. (AP)
Approval of the resubmission of the
prohibition question In a "constitu
tional way" but doubt concerning his
support of Herbert Hoover for presi
dent In the Impending campaign was
expressed In an Interview here last
night by Dr. Clarence True Wilson,
head of the Methodist board of tem
perance, prohibition and public morals.
While Dr. Wilson was discussing
national matters, the city attorney's
office was preparing to try him next
week on a charge of reckless driving,
resulting from an accident here last
February. The dry leader had noth
ing to say concerning the trial, al
though his Portland attorney. Bert
E. Haney, had agreed earlier in the
day to set the date for next Tuesday
or Wednesday.
"I do not know whether I will sup
port Hoover this year." Dr. Wilson
said. "During the campaign four
years ago I have 06 addresses In his
interests. this year I may be
forced to speak again for Hoover If
the democrats adopt a wet platform.
He added that he expects the demo
crats to do so. -
Dr. Wilson expressed belief that
Senator Borah of Idaho could "cut
quite a figure" if he would head i
third party movement on a dry plat
form. He added however, that he does
not advocate a third party.
A warrant for the doctor's arrest
has been on file here since February
23, two days after bis car collided
with one driven by L. F. Welch, of
Portland. Welch signed a complaint,
and told police Dr. Wilson was trav
eling at an excessive speed and fall-

Questioned In Sacramento two days
later by the Associated Press, Dr.
Wilson said:
"If the driver of the other car had i
been as strong a believer in prohibi
tion as I am the accident wouldn't
have happened "
In reply Welch said he never drank
anything stronger than root beer.
Police said that if Welch should re
fuse to prosecute the reckless driving
charge they will sign a complaint
charging Dr. Wilson with falling to

"I just hate to think of women still
making jam and jelly the old-fashioned
long-boil method. It's so costly.
And so terribly tedious!
"I make all my prize-winning jellies
and jams with Certo. And I would
never think of doing it any other way.
"In the first place, Certo reduces
boiling time for crushed strawberry
jam, for instance, to one minute.
And, of course, that is how it saves
me so much money. For, with so
little boiling needed, not one bit of
the fruit juice has time to boil away.
And as a result I usually get fully S
more glasses from the same amount
of fruit ... and save as much as VA1
on every glass.
"Of course, this 1 minute of hard boil
ing also saves me lots of time, too. I n
deed it takes me only 11 or 12 minutes
from the time I put my fruit and
sugar mixture on until the time my
finished jam is cooling in the glasses.
"And with Certo you get much better
tasting jam or jelly, too. Certainly
