SALEM, May 29. (AP) While an
appeal to the state supreme court
to restrain the board of control from
razing the old capitol walls was
threatened, crews today pulled down
the first of the dozen Corinthian
columns left standing by the fire.
The column was found to be con
structed of brick covered by plaster.
There was no metal core In the col
umn and It fell Into many pieces as
It crashed to the ground.
Wreckage of that portion of the
building demonstrated that salvage
of tne columns for use In a colon
nade would be costly and it was be
lieved the plan of the board to save
the columns would be abandoned. A
second column was pulled down
shortly later.
P. G. Leary. wrecker In charge of
the razing operations, stated he was
about ready to start demolition of
the walls, and powder holes have been
drilled into the south end of the
building where the first work will
be done. SERA crews have been busy
the past month clearing out the de
bris in the building.
Governor Martin will meet with
the state planning board In Port
land at 2:00 o'clock this afternoon
to confer on plans for a new capitol
building for Oregon. The planning
board has been busy on the proposal
and It was expected a report will be
submitted to the executive today to
be used as a basis of the board of
control's request for federal funds.
The governor. In commenting upon
the falling of the column stated Its
condition was proof sufficient that
the conditions of the walls and
bricks was such that their salvage
would bp impossible.

Free Soil Tests
For Farmers At
Samson's Store
Frank Meehener. soil chemist for
the Charles H. Lilly company, will
be at the F. E. Samson store, 229
North Riverside, June 5, from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m., to make free soil
tests for southern Oregon farmers
and orchard lata, according to an
nouncement made today.
"Methods of soil analysis have
been practically revolutionized during
the past few years and have now
reached a point of efficiency that
makes them a valuable and depend'
able guide not only as to the cheml
cal constituents of the soli, but as
to their availability to the plants
under normal crop conditions," Mr.
Samson stated.
The three general systems of soil
analysis which have been practiced
for some time are: 1. Total analysis;
2. Analysis of the soil portions solu
ble in strong acids; 3. The analysis
of water extracts or of dilute acid
extracts of soils.
Mr. Meehener became interested
in new methods of soil testing about
five years ago, and has since then
conducted extensive research work in
order to determine what should be
added to the soil and what should
be avoided for best crop results.
"The success obtained by orchard
ists during the past three years
where they ' have followed recom
mendatlons made by Mr. Meehener
have proven that his method of sou
analysis is going to be a deciding
factor In crop Insurance," according
to Frank Leckenby, vice-president
of the Lilly company, who described
the new method in a recent news
paper story.

It produces a great abundance of
small bulbs or bulblets which appear
where flowers and seeds normally ap

bulblets are very small and supei

on other grasses cannot form except
from blossoms. Furthermore. It also

Winter bluegraas also reverses th
normal order of growth. It goes on
a vacation during the entire sum
mer, but soon after the first fall
rains the bulbs revive and send up a
beautiful green, dense growth from
three to six inches high. In the
Rogue River valley it remains green
and furnishes a splendid pasture
throughout the entire winter and
spring. During April and May th'
plants send up slender, almost leaf
less shoots, from eight to 12 Inches
high on light soil, and from 12 to 20
inchest high on fertile soil.
The tops of these shoots branch
and produce an abundance of min

Grass Long Studied.
Prof. H. A. Schoth, government
agronomist of the department of agri
culture, stationed at Oregon State
Agricultural college, has been work
ing with Mr. Hoover for a numbc
of years, observing and checking
plantings of this grass on farm lands
burned over and mountain areas and
in arid sections. Before recommend
ing this plant to the government for
use in the erosion work. Prof. Schoth
obtained a chemical analysis of the
grass in the dry stage, as compared
with the well-known Kentucky blue
grass, the results showing the fol
lowing: Crude

From this It will be seen that the
winter bltiegrasB will not only serve
to control erosion by forming an ex
tremely thick turf, but will also fur
nish pasturage and hay of a higher
value than any of the other stand

The use of the National Guard
against striking workers was de
nounced by trade union representa
tives, who were Joined by Gen. Smed
ley D. Butler, before the house mili
tary at fairs committee. They cited
instance after instance of military
strikebreaking to support their argu
ments for the Conne.ry resolutiuti to
curtail use of the guard In labor dis
putes. The resolution would require
the express approval of the secretary
of war before the federal arms and
equipment with which tbe guard I
supplied could be used in strikes.
Declaring that "human life Is mere
valuable than any factory or any pane
of glass In one," Butler said that "the
highe up you can put the control
over the lives of people, the concrol
over guns, the hetter it is for the
people." He svated that he had rather
that trained federal troops were used,
who would everciso cooler Judgment.
When one of the congressmen
pointed out that President Cleveland
bad called out federal troops In a
strike. Butler accepted that as a good
example, claiming that "after that.
no cne was hurt." Placing authority
to use troops in higher hands, "delays
the shooting, delays the brutality." he
said.
The county court considered 3fl ap
plications for old age pensions and
granted 31 during the month of May.
This wa the heaviest month since
the old age pension law became ef
fective. The county is now paying

Since the pension law became ef
fective there has been 392 applica
tions and 114 rejections. Eighteen
apllcatlons are pending.
Some of the applicants have moved
away, some have died and some de
clined to sign the "property release
agreement" of the pension law.
