The recent change In control of the
Southern Oregon Brewing company
was reflected yesterday In a new
alignment of officers and directors.
At meeting of stockholders
Thursday night John Malachl of
Klamath Falls and R. Edwards of
Tulelake, Calif., were elected to the
board of directors, replacing Max and
Ted OeBauer. The directorate elected
Mr. Edwards vice-president and Mr.
Malachl secretary -treasurer. George
W, Porter continues as president. The
other directors are Paul K. Taylor ot
Ashland and James Christiansen of
Grant Pass.
The change msrks the end of the
OeBauer Interest in the company.
Mr. Malachl recently bought the con
trolling stock Interest held by the
GeBauera and Mr. Edwards acquired
control of the physical property of
the Gold Seal Creamery.
Mr, Edwards Is to take up resi
dence here and assume charge of the
business end of the brewery, he said.
Max Llstner, brewmaster, Is to be
plant manager and superintendent of
equipment. Earl Burton of Klamath
Falls has been employed as account
ant and will reside here. Dolph
Stuart of Roseburg has been employ
ed as territory salesman and will
make his headquarter In Roseburg
as It Is the center of the company's
distributing area, Mr. Edwards said.
All other employes will be retained,
he added.
An effort Is to be made to expand
outlets for the brewery's products
and as the demand arises the capacity
will be Increased from the present 70
barrels dally, Mr. Edwards stated. The
capacity can be Increased to 150 bar
rels dally without enlargment of the
building, he said, ft is expected that
production can be Increased to the
extent that double the present num-
oer or employes will be required, he
asserted.
The company Is Installing new bot
tling and capping machines to In
crease the bottling capacity from SO
to 80 barrela a day, Mr. Edwards said.
W he n the add 1 1 Ions are comploted
the brewery will be the third largest
In Oregon, he stated.
EAST MAIN STORE
no
LEASED FOR lit
(Continued trom Page One.)
Williams, was until a few days ago
occupied by the Rogue cafeteria,
which Is out of business. The build
ing owned by Mrs. Elisabeth Fluhrer
houses two business firms at pres
ent the Oault shoe repairing shop
end Dr. J. D. Rlckert, optometrist.
Mark Ooldy ot the Charles A. Wing
agency said that neither firm had
determinated on future locations.
Both buildings are of brick con
struction with stone face. They are
two stories high. The building owned
by Mrs. Tluhrer was formerly occu
pied by Fluhrer'a bakery before the
concern moved to Its present loca
tion on Holly street.
The M. M. department store will
occupy the entire floor space of the
two buildings combined. It wtll have
a Main street frontage of 43 feet and
will be 140 feet deep. A 31 by 140
foot basement under the building
owned by Mrs. Fluhrer will be com
pletely remodeled for a selling space.
The ground floor of the two build
ings wtll be combined with all par
titions ripped out, and the entire
Interior redecorated, and remodeled
Into one of the most modern and
beautiful department store spices in
Oregon.
Adair said that a thoroughly mod
ern and up-to-date store front would
be constructed, with Island windows
and other new features occupying a
space 46 feet long on Main street by
15 feet deep.
"The M. M. department store plans
to enlarge all departments," Mr.
Adair stated, "and Intends to equip
the store with the last word In style
merchandise."
In addition to thoroughly remodel
ing the Interior and exterior of the
future location of the M.tM. depart
ment store, a new and modem heat
ing plant will be Installed. New fix
tures, counters and lighting system
will combine to give the ultimate in
department store construction.
Sale of the building and lease ne
gotiations were handled by the
Charles A. Win aaency.

ON O E M BILL
E
(Continued from Page One.)
Itself certain advances, should pay
the several counties 25 percent of all
receipts from the lands and a like
amount to the state - for Its Irre
ducible school fund; 10 percent of
the proceeds was provided to be psld
to the government for administra
tion purposes, and the remaining 40
percent to be paid to the U. S. rec
lamation fund.
The counties waited ten yesrs for
the act to become effective; not hav
ing received any payments during that
period, the counties presented the
matter to Senator Stanfleld! who in
troduced a bill In 1026 to require the
government to pay to the counties an
amount equsl to the taxes that would
have been levied If the land had
continued In railroad ownership, and
to thereafter pay each year the equiv
alent of such . taxes.
The county courts of the lend grant
counties sent a delegation to Wash
ington to urge the passage of Sena
tor Stanfield's bill. A companion bill
Introduced by Representative Hawley
was first passed through congress.
This act. locally known as the Stan
field act. .resulted In the payment to
the counties of approximately 7,000,
000, representing the equivalent of
taxes from 1018 to 1926. Since then
the counties have received approxl- '
mately $4,000,000 In annual payments,
the annual claim of . all the land
grant counties now approximating
$500,000.
Since 1926 various attempts have
been made to amend or repeal the !
Stanfleld act, and the O. as C. county j
courts have maintained an organic- I
atlon throughout that period, whleh I
has effectively blocked all these at
tempts. The bill recently introduced by
Congressman D Rouen seeks to sub
stantially repeal the provisions of the
Stanfleld act In this respest: The
Stanfleld act measured the payments
to the counties by the amount that
would have been paid in taxes; the
DeRouen bill provides simply that
the counties shall be paid the bal
ance now due under the Stanfleld
act, and thereafter shall receive 60
percent of the proceeds from the sale
of O. & C. land and timber. Here
tofore the total sales of land and
timber has been Insufficient to meet
the tax payments, although that con
dition will In all probability no
longer exist, due to Increased timber
buying.
On April 6 the land grant county
courts met at Roseburg to consldet
what action shall be taken with ref
erence to this latest threat against
the Stanfleld act. The DeRouen bill
was considered, section by section,
and the courts went on record with
reference thereto.
Thef DeRouen bill provides among
other things, for the marketing of
0. A O. timber on a sustained yield
basis, thus makfng the timber tup
ply perpetual. The county courts !
bad already approved the principle ot
sustained yield as applied to the O.
Ac 0. lands. They found but one
objection to the sustained yield pro
vision of the DeRouen bill, namely,
the fact lthat the bill did not re
quire the secretary of Interior to
sell' the maximum amount of tim
ber possible under sustained yield,
so long as there was a market there
for. This provision in the bill Is
necewary. according to the position

taken by the counties. In order that
there may be sufficient funds to
maks annual payments to the coun
ties Id lieu of taxei
. The . counties went on record
opposing the distribution features of
the DeRouen bill, which allot 60
peroent of proceeds to the counties,
)5-percent to repay monies advanced
In'-lieu of taxes by the government,
and 36 percent to the federal gov
ernment for administrative purposes.
The meeting voted to Insist that
the allotment to the government
should remain as first placed at 10
percent for administrative purposes,
and that the balance of the proceeds
be first spplted to pay to the coun
ttea the equivalent of their tax claims.
which s mount annually to aapproxl
mately 600.000. and that the re
malnlng balance, if any, be paid Into
the Irreducible school, fund of the
state of Oregon.
The county courts also considered
certain mechanical set-ups In tba
bill and registered certain objections
-thereto.
It is expected by the county courts
association that there will be a great
many matters to consider when the
committee hearings on the DeRouen
bill are held In Wash 1 Tig ton, and Earl
B. Day, county - Judge of Jackson
county, and Guy Cordon, attorney
for the county court association,
who have been Identified with the
O. 6c c. land grant question for the
past 16 years, were named to appear
before the committees In Washington
and present-the position of the land
grant counties.
An executive committee of the
county courts was appointed to han
dle matters preliminary to the hear
ings and to take up emergency Issues
which may arise, thereby eliminating
the necessity for calling a meeting
of the entire membership of the asso
ciation, which Is made up of the
county courts of the 18 land grant
counties.
The executive committee spolnted
consists of County Judge D. P. Tem
ple ton, Washington county; Commis
sioner L. H. Lawhorne, Coos county;
County Judge George K. Qui no.
Douglas county; County Judge Earl
B. Day, Jackson county, and Com
missioner Roy Nelson, Marlon coun
ty, with Judge Fred Flake, Lane
county, chairman of the association,
and Commissioner Ralph Billings of
Jackson county, secretary of the asso
ciation, as ex-offlcio members.
A brief setting forth the position
of the association Is to be prepared by
Attorney Cordon, the organization 'a
legal advisor, and will be forwarded to
the members of the Oregon congres
sional delegation preliminary to the
committee hearings.
The costs Incident to the presenta
tion of the matter will be paid by
an assessment upon the counties In
terested, In the same way that the
original costs have been paid.
The efforts of the county courts
of the Isnd grant counties, through
their association, has brought into
these counties In the last U years
over $16,000,000. which has been pro
rated among the counties and their
various taxing districts, and has re
sulted In a vast saving to the tax
payers ot these counties.
