original order of the public utilities
commissioner, the state highway d9
partment began negotiations with the
railroad company looking toward a
modification of this order to the end
that the location and plans originally
proposed by the Oregon state high
way commission be adopted. In view
of the provisions governing the ex
penditure of the PWA funds for rail
road grade separation purposes, the
state highway commission offered to
construct this crossing entirely out
of PWA funds, provided the plans and
location adopted be those originally
proposed by the state, and this entire
proposal was presented to the rail
road company for consideration.
Order Rescinded.'
"Under date of January a, the pub
lic utilities commissioner issued a
supplemental order rescinding his or
iginal order in reference to the mat
ter, and reopened the entire question
for further negotiations.
"The state highway department has
made complete plans for this struc
ture on the location originally pro
posed, and the same have been sent
to the railroad company's attorneys
at Portland, who have in turn for
warded them to their San Francisco
office for final determination. This
department has recently addressed a
communication to the railroad com
pany, urging the speediest possible
action on this new matter and is now
awaiting & reply from the railroad
company consenting to the construc
tion in accordance with the plans
prepared, by the state and on the lo
cation originally aaoptea.
Will Proceed.
""As quickly as word Is received
from the railroad company, this mat
ter can be reheard and a new order
entered pro consento, after which
construction can proceed as soon as
the project can be advertised for blew.
"We wish to assure that this de
partment la anxious to push this
matter to final completion at the
earliest possible date and we will bend
every effort to secure final approval
of the plans and consent to tne pro
cedure from the railroad company,

LOVE LETTERS OF
EVIDENCE IN SUIT
cmoAoo. Jsn. h. (trp) The
passionate love letters of a woman,
former collector of Internal revenue,
were admitted as evidence In an
alienation of affections suit against
her today.
Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blacklldge Iden
tified the letters as the ones she al
legedly wrote Norman E. Nottingham,
a patrol wagon driver, and which are
the basis of -100.000 suit filed by
Mrs. Susanne Nottingham, who has
the quaint habit of saving her hua
band'a mall.
"I am plain dumb when I get where
you are." she wrote In a letter dated
June 30. 1932, and addressed to
-Denny Dear." "1 Just want to be
held tight In your arms, and, oh boy,
how your kisses affect me."
Nottingham la known to his friends
aa "Denny."
Mrs. Blacklldge. whose furor over
a $50,000 faro game loss resulted in
her resigning her federal position,
after seversl moment's blushing pe
rusal admitted the letters were In
her handwriting, but refused to con
firm that they were addressed to Not
tingham. At another point In the same let
ter she wrote, "Hope you didn't get
too much hell you could take a lit
tle after those hours and think it
worth It. Didn't we have a dandy
time together, dear?"
Another written a weeit laier prey
ed. "Take me and my belongings awsy
from here make a home anywhere as
con aa you can. How I want you
how I mlas you. darling. Don't wait
too long. We are wasting valuable
time. I need you. oh. so much."
The net dav she wrote. "I would
like nothing better than to be able to
talk to you at close range, sitting
on your lap. or held In your arms
you dispell all my blues bring me
more happiness than 1 ever thought
would be mine."
Another letter written the aame
dav chlded him for not writing, and
added. "1 refuse to be negcted and
It won t be a bit healthy If you keep
It up. you son of a ea cook."
Jurtce I. !. Weaver ordered the le.
tera impounded, to be read to a Jury

of staff of the storm troops and
relchmlnlster without portfolio. Ger
many la to be macfe sport conscious.
In the nasi sense.
In the original announcement cre
ating a "sport badge" Captain Roehm
said:
"The new state demands a strong
race, capable of resistance. In addi
tion to the education of the spirit,
a fighting education of the body
through natural, simple exercises will
be offered."
Tests Determine Wearers.
The sport badge can be earned by
taking an examination In the varioua
sports listed for the different grades.
"This badge can be acquired also
by persons outside the party and the
storm troops. If they comply with
storm troop conditions for member
ship, including race and philosophic
requirement," the statement con
tinued. The Angrlff, organ of the propa
ganda minister. Dr. Joseph Goebels.
developing the statement, said It was
of tremendous Importance and "the
possibility la seen of embracing all
youth through sports In education
for a fighting spirit."
The paper aald further that the
wearing of the sport badge would
Indicate that the wearer. In addi
tion to having the proper spiritual
education, possessed also the right
physical training.
"Wearing of the badge will, and
must, be a duty of honor," the paper
said, Indicating that no excuses would
be accepted for not attempting to
win at least one of the soon-to-be-coveted
marks.
Club Throning Listed.
Characterizing the winning of the
new badge as necessary to be known
aa a "100 per cent sportsman," the
Berliner Zeltung am Mlttag wrote:
Th. details of the exercises and
examinations are to be found In the
examination book.
"In the physical culture group the
examinations are confined to the 100
meter race, broadjump, club throw
ing, ahotput and 3000 meter race."
The paper continued describing the
events in the ground exercises as
"small calibre target ahoottng at 60
meters, ability to march 25 kilo
meters carrying 25 pounds of pack
club throwing at a target In march
uniform.
"Field sports examinations will In.
elude map reading, estimation of dla
tancea and general intellectual train
ing."
Club throwing la Interesting be
cause of the shape of the missiles.
They consist of a handle with a knob
at the end and reaemble In contour
the cylindrical grenades used by the
German army in the world war. Ac
curacy la the main object of this
event.
Roehm Bam Cameras.
Another interesting feature of the
movement Is the name "wehrsport."
The word "wehr" Is used widely In
connection with military affairs. A
"wchrattache" Is a military attache.
The "relchswehr" is the standing
army allowed Germany under the
treaty of Versailles.
Article 177 of that treaty forbids
German ."aasoclatlona of every de
scription occupying themselves with
military subjects and instruct
ing or exercising their members In
the profession or use of arms."
Capt. Roehm has banned cameras
at atorm troopera sport competitions.
It waa explained that this edict was
Issued because of the Impression liable
to be created abroad.

WHEN YOU'RE HEALTHY
YOU'RE HAPPYI
The Mama for "bine" days can be
laid often to common constipation.
It may bring lots of appetite and
energy, sallow and pimply skins,
even serious illness. Correct it by
eating a delirious cereal.
Research shows Kelloftg's All
Bran provides "hulk" and vitamin
B to relieve common constipation
Also iron for the blood.
The "balk" In All-Bra is much
like that In leafy vegetables. Iint
this better than taking patent med
icinet so often harmful?
Two tablespoonfnls of All-Bran
daily, relieve most types of constipa
tion. With each meal, jo chronieraset.

TO HAVE AGENTS
IN ENSUING YEAR
More counties In Oregon than ever
before will have the services of county
agents this year, reports F. L, Ballard,
county agent leader, following com
pletion of county budgets through
out the atate. Thirty of the 3 coun
ties have definitely arranged for
agents, with Columbia county at 111
endeavoring to raise the necessary
match money by private subscrip
tion. Gilliam and Sherman counties
have added agent, while Jefferson
has Joined with Crook In engaging
one.
Because of the vltnl connection be
tween the extension agents and the
work of the Agricultural Adjustment
administration, one or two other
counties are contemplating engaging
agents, following decision of the AAA
not to continue the practice of sup
plying agents aa was done during the
wheat campaign.
Partly because of the responsibility
placed on the agricultural staff of the
Oregon State college In bringing to
Oregon the benefits under the vari
oua federal effort In behalf of agri
culture, the complete staff of the ex
tension service, experiment stations
and instructional division Is holding
a state-wide conference at Cor vail la
this week.
Pears that the program of the AAA
would bring an "army of federal
agentV to put the plans into effect
and enforce their provisions have not
been borne out, largely because the
national administration turned to the
existing forces connected with the
land grant colleges to meet the
emergency.
As a result, O. ft. C. officials point
out. much time has been and will be
spent with these emergency projects
by Oregon forces. First was the work
in connection with getting emergency!
crop loans last spring, followed by:
subsistence garden projects, and then
the wheat allotment campaign. How
the corn-hog control campaign la on.
which In turn la expected to be fol
lowed by the dairy adjustment pro
gram.
Meanwhile, the college forces have
been called upon to direct three proj
ecta under the CWA, one concerned
with surveying rural home building
conditions; one with a survey of de
linquent tax and mortgage foreclos
ure conditions, and a third with the
paat experience with subsistence
homesteada in this atate.
