Stock-Killing Weed
Spreading in State
Spokane, Jan. 27 (U.R) A
warning to Washington and Ore
gon stockmen to be on, the look
out for a stock-killing weed was
made here today by the Spokane
county weed control office.
Reports from southern Idaho
that about an acre of the deadly
weed called "halegeton" had
been found in three counties
caused the warning.
A. W. Lange, supervisor of the
weed control office here, said his
office was doing everything it
could to keep a constant vigil
for the weed.
Difficulties Foreseen
"Once we get halegeton in the
area, it'll be dimcuit to get ria
of it,' 'Lange said. "And the cost
.of eradicating the weed usually
isn't worth the value of the land.
Often, abandonment is the only
answer.
"It takes about a pound and
a half to kill a grazing animal.
But if you have, say, a full acre
of the stuff, it's easy for an ani
mal to eat that much of it."
Lange said the weed first
showed ud in the northwest near
Elko, Nev. It has been spread
ing north. However, none is
known definitely to grow
Washington or Oregon.

Plans Laid For 1950
Gold Rush Jubilee
Jacksonville. Jan. 28 Jack
sonville Lions club members
formed earlv plans and appoint
ed a board of five members to
head their annual Jacksonville
Gold Rush jubilee Thursday eve
ning. P. E. "Scotty" Matheny
who was general chairman of
last year's event was elected
chairman of the new board and
other members are E. E. Mc-
Intyre, Ben Anderson, "Stub"
Matheny, and A. C. Van Galder.
The jubilee will be held again
this year on the first Saturday
and Sunday in August.
An officer of the club stated
about 95 per cent of the member
ship attended Thursday s meet
ing and that much interest was
shown in the coming affair.

benefit basketball game in Jack
sonville were not available as

"good turnout."
Los Angeles. Jan. 28 U.R)
Fred Stroble's sentencing for the
sex murder of Linda Joyce Glu-
coft. six. has been postponed to
Monday.
March of Dimes
Extension Forced
By Bad Weather
Because recent bad weather
has handicapped March of Dimes
workers throughout Oregon, E.
T. Headlund, state chairman for
the drive, Saturday notified Dick
House, Jackson county chairman,
that the campaign will be contin
ued past the original closing
date, January 30.
Chairman House said the ex
tension would be particularly
needed in the rural sections here
as entertainments and other
fund-raising affairs have been
considerably slowed by the
storms. He said chairmen in the
various communities have ex
pressed the belief that the plan'
ned schedule of activities can be
resumed in February.
Must Succeed
"The-1950 March of Dimes not
only must be successful, it must
be the greatest March of Dimes
we have ever conducted," House
declared, repeating the slogan
adopted by nation-wide workers
at 14 regional conferences after
a look at the diminishing treas
ury of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis.
The reason is obvious, he said.
"More than 42,000 new cases of
polio were reported in the na
tion last year, 15,000 more cases
than in 1948, and an almost all
time high polio year with 54,000
cases to oe cared tor in lu,
House continued.
During 1949 the national head
quarters advanced more than
$9,605.000 'in emergency aid to
44 states and Alaska to enable
chapters to carry on their work.
Of this amount $13,847 came into
Oregon in addition to expendi
ture of money raised and kept
within the state. "Oregon," the
Jackson county chairman ex
plained, "had the third highest
polio year in its history in 1949."

Berry Crop Of Area
Under 1948 Totals
Recent reports on production
and cold storage holdings of
berry crops were released yes
terday in this weeks fruit re
view prepared by the Oregon
State college extension service
and show a IB per cent reduction
in the Pacific northwest's total
berry crop from 1948's record
production.
The northwest produced near
ly vo.uuu tons of berries in 1949,
according to the crop reporting
service, with Oregon growing
more than half the total. The
state leads in production of
strawberries, black berries, lo-
ganoernes, ooysenoerries, and
gooseberries, but Washington
grows more red raspberries,
blackberries, and cranberries.
The 1949 berry crop was worth
around $10,000,000 to Oregon
growers or about 40 per cent
less than the record value of
$16,700,000 earned by the 1948
crop. Both smaller production
and lower prices contributed to
the lower value received last
season, the extension service
said.
Cave Junction Mayor
Visits, Tells Of Mine
Elwood Hussey, mayor of
Cave Junction and proprietor of
"The Old Mine" on Althouse
creek, where he entertains tour
ists with authentic gold-rush days
atmosphere, cooking and gold
panning, was a Medford visitor
Saturday.
He brought with him several
ounces of gold dust and nuggets
which had been panned recently
in an area where a new fish
pond had been dug. Other Im
provements to the property are
being made., he said, and better
accommodations will be made
for tourists next year.
The area had visitors from
every state in the union during
1949, Hussey said.

Hollywood, Jan. 28 (U.R)
Lou Costello said today he's
healthy enough to go back to
work and he'll
prove it if he
has to hoist
doub ting ex-
e c u t i v e 8 on
A rTl oarbells.
LU11C1IU
gives Univer
sal-Internation
al the rest of
the winter to
call him and
Bud Abbott for
Virginia work. If they
HacPherwa don't, he and
the first robin will storm the
New York head office together.
I think these guys out here
have been telling the bosses I'm
dying, Costello said indignant
ly. ' I ain't sick; I'll prove it to
'em if I have to swing 'em
around like I was weight-listing.
"I can't figure any other rea-
son why they don t insist that
they put us back to work us
the country's third greatest box-
office attraction.
Costello got sick last April
and nearly died. He likes loaf
ing now, but he says he s been
ready to work since December 1.
And it's a mystery to everybody,
including him, why he's not be
fore the cameras.
Still Suspended
"A couple of weeks ago the
studio announced I was suspend
ed, said I wasn't able to work,"
he said. "Sure I can work. And
I've been on suspension since
last May when I was suspended
between life and death.
"People who read that think
I'm still sick. Well, it's not true.
I want everybody to know I feel
like a two-year-old colt."
Of course there ore a few min
or things U-I will have to do be
fore the boys go back.
Out of Head
"I signed a new contract when
I was sick," Costr-llo said. "I was
out of my head; I must have
been. I gave away the radio
rights we've always had and our
rights to an outside picture.
They're going to have to give
those back. I didn't know what
I was doing."
Those little items won't cost
the studio half as much, he said,
as they lose by not making the
funnymen's movies. (
"We keep the place In the
black," he said. "We're the big
gest moneymakers at the studio,
according to the polls, and have
been for 10 years. I don't know
where our pictures play, but
they sure do business.

Hurts U-I
"I always wanted to make
good pictures. We never got 'cm,
but 1 always wanted 'em."
This hurts U-I worse than It
does him, Costello said. He's hav
ing the time of his life on layoff.'
"I'm getting acquainted with
my family, even getting to know
my horses," he said. "I just sit
home with nothing to do but
autograph pictures."
