Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
HERB In Oregon or at least In
Southern Oregon, whose people
an up and coming and not afraid
of new Ideas we are always inter
ested In something new.
Over In the Klamath country,
which la the big potato district of
Oregon, they have developed some
thing new.
Vhey are marketing potatoes In
prne crates; Instead of In sacks.
THIS new potato package la a
crate, not a box tfiat Is to say,
ft has cracks between the slats of
which It Is made.
The advantage of this construction
lighter, cheaper crate as a matter
cf fact, the price of the crates la
about the same as the price of sacks
snd It enables the housewife to
see what she is getting by looking
through the cracks.
In this way, she can assure her
self that the big potatoes are not
all at the top and the little ones
all at the bottom.
Tims crate Is a distinctive pack-
age. It doesn't look like any
thing In which potatoes have been
marketed In the past.
This, of course. Involves a new
responsibility. The potatoes that go
Into this distinctive package must
tie DISTINCTIVE for their quality.
Otherwise consumers won't re-order.
They must oome to associate - this
new package with auperlor quality
If there Is to be merit In the idea.
The potato growers of the Klam
ath Basin are planning to Insure
thla superior quality by means of
careful grading and rigid inspection.
In this way, they hope to find a
preferred market for their product.
IT IS apparent, of course, that these
carefully graded, rigidly Inspected,
high quality potatoes, in their at
tractive package, must sell at a
somewhat higher price than the ord
inary potato of commerce, In its
sack container, with the dirt of the
fields still clinging to It.
The cost of producing them will
be somewhat higher. It can't be
otherwise.
The growers are hoping, and plan
ning, to prove that their high grade
product la worth the slight extra
price.
POTATOES, except for baking, are
peeled before they are eaten-. The
peeling Is wasted.
There la far less wastagn In peel
ing In the case of smooth, uniformly
shsped potatoea than in the case of
potatoes that are rough and lumpy.
Everyone who has ever peeled a po
tsto knows that. No one Is going
to peel around the bumps. They
will be simply cut off and wasted.
So It follows, you see, that ' the
carefully graded, strictly uniform
potato should be actually CHEAPER
to the consumer by the time It comes
to the table which Is whst count.
IN baking, It Is 'the tendency to
select smooth, shapely potatoes,
free from bumps and of uniform
alie, rejecting those that do not
meet these specifications. Wastage
is unavoidably Involved In these re
jections. So agsln It follows. In the case
of baking potatoes as In the case
of those that are peeled before they
are eaten, thst the uniform product
of dependably high quslity will be
cheaper In the lopg run than the
ungraded product.
pHE consumer lsn t interested, or
shouldn't be. In the mere bulk
of potatoea that he buys for a cer
tain sum of money. What he IS
Interested In Is the smount of ap
petizing and nourishing food that
finally comes to his table.
Prom this standpoint, it Is appar
ent that the carefully graded, high
quality potato, bscked by rigid In
spectlon. Is actually cheaper than
the Inferior product.
This Is a point that the potato
growers of tfie Klamath Basin are
going to stress.
pHE experiment fs Interesting, be-
cause It applies to the potato,
which In the psst has been a rather
low grade product, marketed care-!
leasly. the Idea of dependably high
quality that has been so successful

LAST MINUTE PASS

12 TO 1 IN MIRE
Bruins Intercept Pass On
Own 8-Yard Line To Start
Climax Oregon Is Per

By FRANK O. CORBIE
Associated Press Sports Writer
MULTNOMAH STADIUM, PORT
IAN ND, Ore., Oct. 18. (AP) You
read about them in books and you
see them In the movies but we saw
It In the real out on this mud-covered
gridiron today.
It was a real forward pass that car
ded the ball from goal to goal while
the timer's gun was calling thp game
to a halt to give the University of
California at Los Angeles a dizzy
spine-tingling la to 7 victory over the
University of Oregon In their annual
Pacific coast conference battle.
Time Nearly Up
Just as the timer raised his pistol
over his head to stop the contest with
the northern Webfooters leading 7
to 6. Mitchell Prankovlch, pass-throwing
quarterback dropped behind his
goal line and whipped an aerial shot
to Ransoms Llvesay, substitute half.
Llveaay leaped Into the air and
hauled down the slippery pigskin on
his 31-yard line. Two Oregonlana
grabbed him. He Jerked away and
ran like a scared deer. As he crossed
the 50-yard stripe the gun sounded
but It wss too late for the Webfoot
ers for he waa far out of their reach
and he scampered unmolested to the
goal line for one of the most thrill
ing football finals ever witnessed.
Fans In Oaze
It wsa like a bolt from out the sky
to the surprised crowd of spproxlma
tely 8,000 fana who filed out of the
big atadlum In a daze. Oregon had
Just blocked a U. C. L. A. pass and
recovered the ball on the Bruin 34
yard line and It looked like the con
test wsa all over as only a few sec
onds were left for play.
Bill Bowerman, Webfoot quarter
back, .ifter two plays gaTa the signals
for a forward pass apparently not
satisfied to win by one point. Brown
ran back, hurled the ball towards
the goal line, hut Prankovlch, the
wide-awake Bruin was there instead
of a Webfoot. He Intercepted on hta
8-yard line.
PepelnJak 8cores
Oregon's lone touchdown, chalked
up late In the second period, waa fur
nished by George "Pepper" Pepeln
Jsk, the first time he carried a ball
In a conference game.
When the Webfooters reached Cali
fornia territory for the first time In
the game, charging to UCLA'S 45-yard
line Coach "Prink" Calllson rushed
his little sophomore sensation Into
the fray. "Pep" got Into the huddle
Just In time to hear his signal and
he grabbed the pigskin, whirled
around right end and romped down
the side lines to the goal line.
Ted Gelsecke, a soccer player spilt
the uprights for the extra point.
The last play of the contest,
UCLA'S attempt at extra point after
the game was over -nd while the
fans were still stunned, failed.
Statlscally Oregon surpassed the
UCLA eleven In scrimmage yardage
with 154 against 111, but yardage
from passes gave the Bruins 188 more
for a total of 297, while Oregon had
Its single pass Intercepted.
Each team made seven first downs.
Oregon six from scrimmage and one
from a penalty and UCLA four from
scrimmage, two from passes and one
from a penalty.
Oregon tallied 48 scrimmage plays
to 45 for U. C. L. A. The Webfoots
punted 14 times for 426 yards or an
average of 30J yards against 14
punts for 584 yards or an average of
34 1-3 yards by U. O. L. A. Oregon
wss penalized 5 times for a loss of
35 yards snd the Bruins 8 times for
50 yards. Oregon fumbled twice but
recovered three. U. C. L. A fumbled
twice and recovered one. One U. C.
L. A. punt waa blocked.

State department officials still de
cline to say what their next atep will

TO FACE HEARING
Konkle Arraigned In Justice
Court On Hunting Fatality
Free On $2000 Bail
Until Hearing October 20.
A charge of involuntary man
slaughter was filed Saturday, against
Ellsworth N. Konkle, 43, who has
admitted that early Thursday morn
ing, he fired the shot that killed
Olen Fabrlck, Sr., when he mistook
him for a deer, while on a hunting
trip In the Lodge Pole ranger station
district of eastern Jackson county.
Konkle was arraigned before Jus
tice of the Peace Glenn O. Taylor
Saturday afternoon and his prelim
inary hearing set tor Thursday, Octo
ber 20. Ball, fixed at 2000, was
furnished by -D. E. Millard and wife.
No Inquest
There will be no coroner's In
quest as a technical question arose
Friday shortly before the hour set
for an inquest, whether the tragedy
had occurred In Klamath or Jack
son counties. Under the state law,
the district attorney has Jurisdiction
for mile In another county. The
death spot Is said to be well within
this limit.
The filing of the involuntary
manslaughter charge, followed after
Ellsworth Konkle and D. E. Millard,
a brother-in-law, and both members
with Fabrlck of the hunting party,
bad made signed statements to the
district attorney.
Conviction of involuntary man
slaughter, under Oregon law pro
vides a penalty of from one to 15
years and fine, or both. The charge
Is subject to ball, fixed by the com
mitting magistrate.
Konkle, remorse ridden since the
tragedy, is gradually regaining his
composure.
Courses Intercepted
Statements made Friday afternoon
by Konkle and Millard, show that
the hunters left the King Spruce
camp at daylight Thursday and
courses had been mapped. The
routes lay In" a triangular course
through a glade. In rocky country,
with Millard and Fabrlck a short
distance apart. Konkel wjs to fol
low a divergent course and the three
were to meet ut a large rock, at the
apex of the triangle.
Millard's statement shows thst
when Fabrlck and he reached the
turning point, he heard grunting
sounds In the brush and presumes
that Fabrlck followed this noise.
Millard continued on his course. In
the meantime, Konkel followed his
route, and about midway of the dis
tance to the meeting rock, saw a
deer and fired at it. A short dis
tance onwards, he came to a ledge
of rock, and mounted It. While
thus surveying the country, looking
for the deer, he detected a move
ment In the brush and shot at It,
the bullet striking Fabrlck In the
chest. Konkle rushed to the spot,
and discovering his mistake, fired
three shots In rapid succession and
one after an Interval, as a distress
signal to attract Millard's attention.
He repeated the distress signals wit&
Fabrlck's gun. In about fifteen
minutes Millard appeared and the
coroner was aummoned. Konkle de
clares that he fired about ten shots,
Including distress signals.
Victim Well Insured
It Is advanced as a theory that
Fabrlck did not follow the course
mapped, but Instead cut through the
middle of the triangular route, aid
came upon Konkle about midway of
his course.
Friends of Fabrlck said today that
he carried close to 140,000 Insurance,
and that It had been his life long
policy to take out accident insur
ance at regular Intervals and that
only recently he had taken out an
additional policy. ,
Funeral services for Fabrlck will
be held Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock from the Conger parlors, the
Rev. W. B. Hamilton of the Episco
pal church officiating. Interment
will be in the Siskiyou Memorial
park under rites of the Masonic
lodge, of which he wsa member In
msny of lta branchee, snd well
known throughout the state as a
leader.

WILKINS EVADES
-ISSUE OF RECALL
The loudly heralded threat of M.
O. Wllklns, Independent candidate
for district sttorney to expose the
source of the attempted recall of
Judge H. D. Norton, at Gold Hill Fri
day ntght. proved a complete flop
when Wllkina spoke for over two
hours before about 35 people, but
made no definite or clear atatemente
regarding the recall whatever.
Aside from sssertlng he waa sure of
his election and attacking represen
tatlvea of both Medford papers who
were present, Wllklns made no
statements of any publlo Interest
concerning this much discussed
"paramount Issue,' although Mrs.
Deakln of Ashland, one of the cir
culators of the recall petitions, en
couraged the apeaker many times
during his remarks and at the close
tried to get signatures to her peti
tion with apparently no success.
The spesker, recently "divorced"
ss Its candidate by the Dally Newa
and who "wording to that paper, re
plied to the News repudlstlon by a
letter which, according to its editor,
waa so unfit to print that It was
turned over to local postal authori
ties, gave the audience tho Impres
sion that he hoped to get back into
the good graces of that paper through
the medium of fulsome flattery.
Tnoae who went to the meeting
hoping to find out Just where the
Independent candidate for district
attorney atands on the recall of Judge
Norton and who started it, came
away disappointed, after listening to
nia long drawn out condemnation of
the bar association, presa and num
erous Individuals.
When asked In a direct question
If he had, or hsd not, said he was
opposed to the recall of Judge Nor
ton, Wllklns refused to answer, say
ing, "I will discuss the mstter no
further this evening, I'm tired out."
He picked up a glass of water he
had summoned to help him through
his long speech, took a swallow and
dashed the remainder across the plat-
torm.
Reports were current In the city
yesterday that a move Is on foot to
write In the name of Ralph Jennings,
present sheriff, on the bsllots No
vember 8. Jennings was defeated In
the primaries on the Democratic tick
et by Gordon Schermerhorn.
Although talk of such a movement
was quite general Saturday, no one
seemed reedy to name the sponsors.
An auxiliary to the movement waa
thought to have originated from the
publication of the number of votes
he received In the Mall Tribune straw
ballot.
Ralph Jennings was out of town
on a hunting trip laat night and
could not be reached for a statement
concerning the move.

LIMA, Peru, Oct. 12 Colom
bl, Ecuador and P-ra in or?
dny. Lima is the oldest eity
in the western world. It's
worth a trip alone. Flew across
the equator yesterday. The
ran-Amcrican Grace line hands
you a diploma of certificate
provided you have been across
the line. An old man at a little
Feruvian village where we
stopped for gas come up to me
and said, "Did you hear Cal
vin's speech last night on the
radio!" Here I have a line
radio and never got anything
outside of Los Angeles county.
Well, the race must be get
ting hot if they have drafted
Calvin. I'll bet Calvin will be
all broke up when he hears he
wasted his speech on people
away down here that can't
vote.
