PXGE TWELVE y MEDFORD' MSffi TRIBUOT, MEDFORD, OREGON, THTJRSD3Y, TU37E 30, 1932. T PLAN SHAPING UP Gordon Green Makes Report to Traffic Assn., On Yakima Meeting Ton nage Contracts Required At a meeting held yesterday at the JackAOtt hotel by all members of the Medford Traffic association, a report was given the association member by Gordon R, Green, Mediord's rep resentatlve, on the meeting held In Vaklma Inst week for the purpose northwest fruit by water from west coast to east coast. Mr. Green stated that out of the Yreica meet In? a corporation was formed which la now known as the Intercoastal Service, Inc.. with offices in Seattle, comprising seven directors 'who are as follows: Harry Crowl and George Coburn. Wenatchee; P, P. Clark, O. M. Holtzlnger, Yakima; H. M. Dexter, Hood River; Gordon R. Green, Mcdford; A. M. Groseclose, di rector at large. Officers were elected as follows: P. P. Clark, president; Harold Dexter, vice-president; George Coburn, secretary-treasurer. Contracts Needed The purpose of the Intercoastal Services, Inc., ts to bring together a percentage of the northwest apple and pear tonnage to be shipped by , water. It is the aim to first secure contracts from growers and shippers In the northwest agreeing to sign up a percentage of their tonnage for a period of five years and, In turn, the Intercoastal Services, Inc., would sign a contract witA responsible steamship lines to carry Important pears and apples irom Puget Sound and Portland points to eastern points, namely: Norfolk, Baltimore, Philadel phia and New York. Growers and shippers In the north west are asked , to subscribe to stock In the corporation. The Intercoastal Services, Inc., being a non-profit cor poration, any surplus accumulated will b refunded to shippers and growers holding stock. It Is agreed by by all, states Mr. Green, that the present rail rates are out of reason from here to the eastern seaboard. "We are paying pre-war freight rate charges on our northwest boxed fruit. "There was little said about tfieae ' high rates when commodity prices were up and growers were receiving a fair profit for their fruit, but all prices now an down and still our freight rates have remained the same. Although much money and time has been spent by the trafflo associations and others In the northwest pleading with the railroads for a reduction In rates, the railroads to date have -shown no Inclination whatsoever to make a reduction," he said. Apple Growers lilt "Growers In Wenatchee, Yakima and Hood River, where apples pre dominate," states Dr. Green, "are now fighting for their orchards. They just cannot continue to grow and pack their lower grades of apples and market them at present prices and pay the present rail rates of $1.60 per hundred pounds asked by the rail roads. "It means they will have to cut out all 'O grades and In many va rieties even fancy grades, shipping only their top extra fancy grade and desirable stees. "It Is the aim and .hope of the Intercoastal Services, Inc., that a large percentage of the northwest ' crop can be moved via the Panama : Canal at a substantial saving In cost from the present rail rates, enab ling the apple and pear growers to move their fruit on reasonable freight charges." Move Supported Shippers In Medford, at yesterday's meeting unanimously express ed themselves as 100 per cent be hind the new corporation and are pre paring to subscribe Met! ford's full quota of stock in this corporation. One large steamship line la already ,vl tally Interested in this movement, and It la expected that by the tlmo the new corporation gets to function ing, that other steamship lines, now already In the Intercoastal Services, Inc., will likewise become Interested. Forming of the Intercoastal Serv ices, Inc., was not for the purpose of trying to force rail rates down, states Mr. Green, and all associated with tills movement are unanimous In their opinion that water transporta tion from west to east must and can be used as a permanent means of transportation regardless of what the future rail rates might be. It ts thought by .many that the fruit grow ers In the north west thave In past years been passing up a real service by not starting such a movement sooner. Bosses Ritchie Camp DAY OF PRAYER SAYS REVIVALIST (Contribute Thouirh we have not seen a great lamt.tlde from the Lord, all believe Medford will be blnwed the dy go by for the elfnru put forth. The revival of prayer continue, at the Fouraquare Oonpel church. Since the 1y of prayer, much clothing and boa after boa of food haa been brought to the commlinary, and 33 famine were taken care of over the week-end and atlll food la coming In. Throughout the day people cam. to the rull Oopel church to pray. Thla church ao kindly opened It doom to the people of Medford for a day of prayer for the unemployed. We believe a real break aa made nd people got a real vlalon of what prayer will do for a town. ft?-i " f, ') r w n - : NX.;: - it hi rm AitooitdPf0g$Pbou Robert B. Ennle (above) of Bal timore, campaign manager for Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, opened the Ritchie headquarters In Chicago for the democratic na. tlonal convention. "I want to say here," says Rev M. Helen Bradbury, who Is conduct. lng revivals of prayer In Oregon and northern California, "that I have never found a city more courteous and more willing to co-operate in the prayer and to respond so quickly to the call of the needy as they have In Mdford. If every town did the same I believe God will bless. "I have been told that one of Medford's largest mills will open soon. That Is a direct answer to our day of prayer, I believe. "A lady of Medford came ' Into the meeting the day of prayer and asked us to pray for her daughter who was very ill and suffering. We did, and her daughter was healed The mother came to the evening meeting and said her daughter was fast asleep, the first rest she had had for weeks. So If no other good was done, that would repay all who took part In the day of prayer. "I feel every town needs a real old- fashioned revival of prayer and U any minister or even the newspaper men want me to come and conduct a revival of prayer I will be glad to do so before I leave Oregon." Rev. Bradbury will speak over KMED Prtday at 7:16 on the sub ject; "Will America Have a Dictator?" Rev. Bradbury will close her meet ing here Friday night and go back to California, where she haa many engagements. Rev. Ea telle Jones, the pastor, win continue the work here In Medford. Businessman Suicide WALLA WALLA, Wash., June 30. Louis C. Sutherland, 47, head of a business founded by his father near ly fiO years ago, was found dead In his store today, shot through the heart. Notes left by him said he "could stand the strain no longer." Brownsville Papke Lumber mill on Courtney creelr, near here, preparing to operate. (Continued from page one) Columbia, by virtue of their positions at the head of the center aisle got away to a running start. But they were hard pressed by Nebraska and Montana, by Georgia and New Mexl co, and so many more. It appeared the entire convention was on the march. Standards Carry Picture. Prom every state standard was unfurled a five-foot bust length likeness oi Franklin D. Roosevelt. A variety of other banners and pla cards snouted the praises of the can. dldate In letters large and multl colored. The pipe organ pealed the old marching songs In deafening tones as the paraders circled the delegate enclosure again and again, cheer lng their leader, shouting Jubilantly to one another, doing jigs to the tripping organ notes. Georgian bore a huge placard reading "Georgia, his southern home," Wisconsin advertised in letters a foot high "Wisconsin for Roosevelt.' One delegate carried a placard "pros perity and the full dinner pan, back with Roosevelt. Managers Stay In Seat. A discussion whether the New York standard should Join In was nettled In the affirmative by Dave Lee of Blnghampton. He carried the New York standard away and Tammany lcnlers did not object. Nearly half of the empire state delegation Joined the marchers, but James A. Farley the Roosevelt man- ager John F. Curry, Tammany lead er, and Mayor Walker of New York kept to their seats. Mrs. Stewart Mills of Brlnard. Minn., was carried about the hall on the shoulders of two husky Roosevelt fans, as the organ turned to "Hall, Hall, the Gang's All Here." "Big Jim" Parley, the Roosevelt manager and head of the New York State Boxing commission,1 mounted to the speaker's platform to have a good look. The marching delegates also got a good look at him, smil ing and bowing, and they set up a cheer for him. Girl Takes Ride. Not to be outdone by her Mlnne so t a nel ghbor. Miss Mary Qu 1 gl ey of Valentine, Neb., took a ride about the hall high on the shoulders of two men. The New York standard ws hand ed over eventually to James Roose velt, son of the governor. In his twenties, and he marched along. Jos tled and buffeted by the crowds, smiling and Joking. Former Governor Byrd and his Virginians, close to the front of the hall, stood on their chairs and watched as the march went by. So did many In the other favorite son delegations. In the Texas delegation, however, lithographs of Speaker Gar ner were held high. Many of the marchers fell out and returned to their places after they Arrest Albert Capone 4 f hCk J .i AMSoeuttd Pwt Phott Albert Capono (above), brother of the now Imprlaoned "Searfacfl A I," waa arrested for questioning In connection with the attempted bombing of tha home of the mayot of Cicero, Ill- had been at It for 20 minutes, but the organ started things up again every time the parade began to Ian gulsh. Officials Watch Melee. The speaker's platform was Jammed to the rails with officials and com. mltteemeh who stood smiling as the organist went Into "Smile, Smile, Smile." Forty minutes after the demon- atratlon started. Parley began wav lng the demonstration down. "Call It off," he shouted to his scouts on the floor, but he forgot to tele phone the organist. The music continued. Later Chairman Walsh rapped for order. Most of the delegates were back In their placea and the ser-geanta-at-arms piloted tho othera home. The demonstration had lasted 43 minutes. Mrs. John C. Oreenway of Tucson Ariz., who waa a bridesmaid at Frankln D. Roosevelt's weddng, sec onded his nomination. E PUBLICITY STUNT To bring before the Medford public a reminder that the Independence day celebration Is Monday, Clifford Lord and Alan Carley, better known as "CUf and Al' were today sponsor ing a horse and buggy canvass of the town, with cowbells ringing and ban ners flying. Roy Anderson of Route 3, and Donald Elliott of 1009 North Central avenue, were driving the horses about today, to tell the public that CUf and Al's firecracker stand on the Pacific highway In front of the Owen Oregon mill la now open for business. The two local youths, students at the University of Oregon, conducted a stand at the same location last year.
