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.
Aviator welcomed a squirrel una
gopher extermination project at the
Salem airport.

IS
SpeeJclng Sunday morning at the
Church of the Nftzarcno, Fred M.
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.
