TPXGE TEft MEDFORD UTL TRIBUNE. MEDFQKD, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1935 DROUGHT RELIEF BY OREGON SERA Thirst-Crazed Cattle Given Aid In Central And East em Portion Of State- Pest Control On List tlT JAMES . NI'TTPR (Associated Press Staff Writer.) When the drought of 1034 spread lta soourpe Into portions of central and eastern Oregon, the State Emerg ency Relief administration was called Into action on a new front. Range feed became scarce and water career. Btreams sank Into the parch ed earth and the flow of springs slack ened or ceased entltely. Thirst-erased cattle and sheep gath ered In stomping, churning herds at the few remaining water-holes and eoon many of them were plugged with mwi. Livestock and even deer, ante lope and other game animals died by the hundreds, some tramped to death In water-hole atampedes. gprlnirs nojed In- The SERA at once set to work to squeeze every available drop of water from the afflicted area. Water-holes and uprlnga were boxed In with con crete so they would not be tramped out. Instead of being partially lost to mud holes, all available water waa piped to huge watering trough hew ed or burned out of tree logs. It was a big event In rangeland when the U-mlle well drilled In Crook county "blew in" at 103 feet with 3,000 gallons of water an hour. A windmill was erected and watering troughs built. Tho project cost 2500. The Sage Hollow well drilled In the aame county yielded 700 gallons of water. Numerous other wells yielded water. In Baker county 33 springe were developed and fenced. 107 log troughs were burned out and 40 hewed. Num erous wells and springs were devel oped and fenced In Umatilla, Jefer aon and Wasco counties. Surplus Block Bought. The draught which supped water aupplles also loft feed scarce, and there waa too much stock for the available feed. The AAA, with co operation from the SERA, bought up hundreda of "cattle and aheep which wore slaughtered In Portland and re frigerated so families on relief oould have fresh meat, and unemployed meat cutters could work. Farmers were able to turn some of their stock into cash and havo more feed per head for other animals. Another SERA aid to farmers wa toe pest and predatory animal con trol program. Some 7.000 JackrabblU In bake oounty bit the dust after bltlns Into poison grain. In Grant and Wasco counties nearly 380 coy otes and pupa. wn' 40 w'ld" oats. 34 skunks and 340 porcupines were exterminated ' Poison grain was spread over wide areas In Harney, Hood River and Jef ferson counties to rid them of grass hoppers, gophers, moles, robblte and other peste.

Weatherford drew his text from Ccn. 4:9: "Where la thy brother?" In brief the speaker aald: "This la the second question of : which we have record that God put to man. The first question waa I Where art thou?" One can be of no assistance to his brother until he himself Is spiritually located In God. "In the reading of the Scripture this morning, which was from the ftrat to the twelfth verses Inclusive of the chapter cited, you observe that Oflln slew his brother Abel. Cain's ; mother least thought of him as a murderer when born. She tooJc him as a gift from God, but oftlmes while j the mother Is busy here and there the devil has gotten him a man. 'Of theso two brothers, Cain and Abel, one was evidently taught re- j Itglon without a Christian crisis. The other was likewise taught religion. but also ax per le need an acceptable change of heart relationship to Ood. Both went to worship and each left an offering. Cain's orfertng was merely a hand worship, but Abel's offering was the sacrifice of real heart worship. Only the sacrifice of real heart worship la acceptable to God. "It Is pathetic to train a child In religion and never bring him into that divine relationship of a new cre ation the new birth. "Abel gave an offering In worship and received a blessing. He was heart-right, Cain gave an offering In trained mechanical worship; with no attendant blessing. Ood cannot btoss one whose heart Is not right toward Him. Cain's sinful heart was revealed when they got home from church that day; when ho slew his brother out of envy and jealousy, be cause his offering was rejected while his brother's was accepted. If you really want to know whnt a man's worship attltudo is worth, go home with him and see what he dco out of church. You said you enjoyed the sermon laat Sunday, but what did your neighbor say of the way you lived that sermon on Monday?"

PLAN REDUCTION RATES IS Need Of Greater Gross Rev-1 enues Seen Presentj Equipment Capable Of - More Business Volume. By Rsder Win get , (Associated Press Financial Writer) NEW YORK, Oct. 29. (AP) A sweeping downward revision or America's commercial telegraph rate structure, discussed for years by communications officials, is believed by observers to be nearer realization now than for many months. Authoritative sources stress that no Immediate action along that line la contemplated, but It Is said that new and lower costs to large com mercial users of telegraph facilities Is the ultimate aim of both Western Union and Postal Telegraph com panies. Permit First Step The first step, it Is stated, would be application by one or both com panies to the federal communica tions commission for permlMlon to Inaugurate the new charges. Four factors stand out In the gen eral argument supporting the plea that a change would favor all. First, analysta say, both Postal and Western Union can readily use Increased gross revenues. Western Union last year had gross operating revenue of (87,230, 228, but for the first six months of this year the gross was $44,433. 854, compared with $44,504,806 for the same period of last year. Postal Knrnlnga Down Postal for the last four years ha not earned full interest charges on Its collateral trust bonds and de benture stock. In June it filed a petition for reorganization under the federal bankruptcy act. It Is believed by communications men that revenue can be stepped up through rate reductions and that business can be persuaded to spend more In the aggregate than It does now.. It Is agreed that the communi cations sen ices csn easily transmit a much greater volume of messages with present physical equipment. Of the fourth factor, executives say general business activity is unde niably Increasing with no prospect of a nose dive visible.
