OUT through" 'the Yonna valley,
over the Lakevlew highway.
They tell an amusing tale of the
way this valley got Its present name.
It was originally named Alkali valley,
the first comers to this country hav
ing a tenedency to apply whatever
name came first to their minds.
But, with the passing of time and
the coming of new conditions, in
cluding a prospective real estate
market, the name Alkali valley be
gan to pall.
SO they decided to change it,. and
In casting about for a new name
the word Yonna was suggested. It
made an Immediate hit, the tale
goes, being musical and with Just the
touch of oddness that makes names
easily remembered. So Yonna It was
renamed.
In time, however, It occurred to
somebody to inquire the meaning of
this new name, so an old Indian was
called in. "What doea Yonna mean?"
he was asked. '
- "Oh. him mean alkali," was the
prompt response.

Blanket Order for Wage
Increases Considered by
F. R. to Speed Recovery
President Pleased by Progress on Codes;
New Foreign Trade Relations Are
Sought to Aid Business
WASHINGTON, July U. QPi President Roosevelt, while pleased with
the progress toward establishing Industrial codes, Is considering a blank
et order to provide minimum wagea and limited hours until the recovery
program goea Into effect.
That he Is devoting a major part.
of his attention to work toward these
codes, under which Industries would
voluntarily or be required to set up
minimum wage and maximum work
hour schedules, became more plain to
day: but It was emphssized in high
qusrters that he would be guided in
his course by the views or Mugn o.
Johnson, the industrial administra
tor, now working on a plan possibly
involving a blanket order.
New Trade Channels Sought
The president, meanwhile, has un
dertsken other means of helping
American business this time by
opening negotiations with half a doz
en countries for new trsde relstlons.
South Amerlcsn governments are
principally .Involved.
Aa to the London economic confer
ence, although he has received no of
ficial report, the president regarda a
recess of the conference during Aug
ust sa natural and without slgnifl
csnce. .
It was said at the White House
that In his conversstlons with Prime
Minister MaoDonsld, he pointed out
that most Englishmen go grouse
shooting in August and that on the
continent, the people like to go to
the Spas at that time.
Therefore it was conceded when the
conference was in formulation atage
that If It had not completed Its bust'
ness by August, that It probably
would take a recess of a month or so
at that time.
Realizes Big Task
WlUle anxious for speed on restor
ing employment and lifting purchas
ing power by means of the Industrial
control law, it was ssld that Mr.
Roosevelt realizes the estsbllshment
of the codes fixing hours of work.
minimum wages and production la a
tremendous task- for any Industry. -
He understands that only a very
small minority are not working now
on the formulation of these new
working charters.
He Is giving particular tnougni i
the coal industry, considering It nec
essary to find new work for thou
ssnds of miners.
Even when the Industry la put on
a stable basis, It Is the understsndlng
of Mr. Roosevelt that only a third of
the miners could be In full time Jobs.
Therefore, he Is thinking of the use
of some of the 125.000.000 available
for aubslstence farms. He hopes some
of the miners will go to farming.

STORE WARNING
According to John Moffatt, chair
man of the Retail Merchants commit
teo of the chamber of commerce, the
"Buy Now" campaign which the or
ganization has sponsored the past
few weeks hss been productive of i
great amount of business to the re
tail merchants with a resultant large
saving to the citizens . of Medford,
Many merchants have reported during
the past week that commodity, prices
are soaring higher very rapidly and
as a matter of good business, Medford
citizens are urged to buy those things
which they need immediately in or-
der to take advantage of today's
prices. .
A survey made by the chamber of
commerce during the past few days
would indicate that practically every
branch of retail business la affected
by increased prices and present 'Indi
cations are that the cost of most
commodities will be much higher in
the weeks to come than at present.
"Buy now and save," stated Mr.
Moffatt this morning. "Is not merely
a slogan but Is an established fact
and we are extremely gratified that
our oitizens have taken seriously the
propaganda which has been given
out, not only, in Metttord but thru
out the whole country, that prices
are "rising."
It Is reported that manufacturers'
stocks in most lines are extremely
low and many merchants are having
difficulty In obtaining deliveries,
when deliveries are made, prices wilt
undoubtedly be higher and for this
reason the Medford Chamber of Com
merce Is again, urging everyone to
make their purchases now. Any mer
chant who desires a supply of the
window posters Issued by the cham
ber of commerce may. obtain same by
ringing 63.
A meeting of truck men and those
Interested in the new motor trans
portation act will be called this week
by the Transportation committee of
the Medford Chamber of Commerce,
according .to announcement today.
The exact time of this meeting and
the auditorium which will be used
will be made public tomorrow. The
effects of this new bill will be dis
cussed fully, It wss announced, and
a member of the Allied Truck Own
era from Portland will be present to
familiarize Interested psrtles with
the legislation.
The meeting Is called becsuse there
seems to be a lack of understanding
of all phases of the new Motor Trans
portatlon act. The general public will
be cordially Invited to attend the
meeting. The speaker will be thor
oughly qualified to present Important
facts of Interest to all ownera of
trucks.

dition of this crop, however, ,1a ep
preclably lower than on the same
date a year ago, the report said.
The extremely spotted prospects in
the various fruit sections of Oregon
are mainly the result of a very late

pectally In the early fruits." the re
port said.
Apricots and peaches were probably
damaged by the winter cold more
than other fruits over the state aa a

'This Is an off-season In our prin

consideration, present prospects are
above average. Early varieties are
siring up satisfactorily, and probably

NEW BANK BILE
FOR ROOSEVELT
Brain Trust Scanning Data
for Substitute to Glass
Act
Out
Is Wise Ones' Tip
of Administration
Copyrlpht, 1M3, By Paul Mallon
WASHINGTON. July 13. No one li
supposed to know It, but the admin
istration Is alread working on a new
bank bill to replace the Glass law.
That Is why Brain Trustee Berle
has been rummaging so secretly thru
the treasury department lately. When
he gets through the administration
probably will offer Its own permanent
banking reorganisation legislation. At
least, that la the objective of Prof.
Berle's present search for data.
If plana work out satisfactorily.
President Roosevelt will submit hla
bill to congress in January. That also
happens to be t.ie time when tha
Glasa law goes into effect.
The reason for the secrecy la simple.
The search for new legislation Is vir
tually a confession that the present
law la not sacrosanct In administra
tion eyes.
It would have been good news to
the larger bankers who gathered here
recently without benefit of publicity.
They were talking over methods of
meeting the Glass law. They consider
Its deposit guarantee section Inimical
to their Interests. They will never
rest easy until they have forced re
peal of ah at section.
Their hopes are higher than you
might suspect. The law goes into ef
fect Jan. 1. That gives them moro
than five months to work out 4
scheme for blocking It.
