Dismissal Asked
In Suit To Force
Fund Distribution
Portland ' U.R) A motion
was on file- in Federal Court
here Wednesday asking that the
suit o Clackamas county against
the secretaries of agriculture and
interior to compel them to dis
tribute frozen O&C land grant
funds be dismissed.
The motion was filed by U.S.
Attorney Henry Hess by direc
tion of the attorney general.
Hess asked dismissal on grounds
of "lack of personal service of
process (to the secretaries) with
in the territorial limits of Ore
gon." The motion, which has not yet
been scheduled for argument,
said in part, "suits of this type
against officials whose official
residence is in Washngton? D.C.
must be brought in the U.S. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia."
A. V. Lafferty, who is prose
cuting the suit, for Clackamas
county, replied: "Why "should
the defendants object to the U.S.
District Court in Oregon? They
could enter their appearances
voluntarily if they desired to be
fair and gracious to a sovereign
state."

Welfare Children
Cases Show Decline
Cases concerning aid to de
pendent children showed a de
cline for June-July over last
year in Jackson county, accord
ing to the statistical report of
the county welfare department.
The number of cases dropped
in June by 70 and July by 22.
Mrs. Blanche Lyman, welfare
administrator explained the drop
with two reasons: the effect of
the relative non-support act
which makes it mandatory that
immediate relatives support
such children, and the new law
which removes all children- 14
to 17 years of age from depend
ent grants during July and Aug
ust. The county welfare commis
sion met yesterday with Alfred
S. V. Carpenter, chairman, pre
siding. Only routine business
was concidered, according to
Mrs. Lyman.
Other bi-monthly statistics in
cluded 139 general ' assistance
cases for July, and 285 for June;
39 children in the foster home
for both months: 1,047 old age
assistance cases for July and 1,
052 for June; seven cases for aid
to the blind for each month; and
100 permanently and totally dis
abled cases for July and 82 for
June. .
tinental Trailways bus was turn
ing onto Front street from Sixth
when his rear wheels went over
the curb. This forced the vehicle
against the light.
The light was a wait-walk
light on the northeast corner of
the intersection. It is the signal
for pedestrians going north on
the east side of Front street.
Slight damage to cars driven
by Tressie May Tye, route 1, box
432, and Joseph Warren Burba
Jr., 300 Oakwood drive, oc
curred in another Tuesday acci
dent. The accident occurred at
West Main and North Fir streets.
Vitamin sales for the U. S. will

nearly two dollars for each man,
woman and child, according to a

Garden Notes
By
C. B. CORDY
County Extension
Agent for Horticulture
The tree of heaven,' Ailanthus
altissima, is now at the height
of its summer color. This tree is
a common one throughout the
valley, haying been planted in
many yards and growing wild
along the 'Jacksonville highway
near Jacksonville. The brilliance
of the color varies considerably
from tree to tree. Most of. the
trees are seedlings, so we would
naturally expect some difference
in color. The tree also sends up
many root suckers and these
suckers would produce the same
type of seed pods as the parent
tree. Because of the variation in
the brilliance of the coloring it
is desirable where possible to
select a root sucker from a tree
which does have desirable colo
ration. It may be noted that some of
the trees have no seed pods at
all. These are male trees. When
seeds are planted, about half the
trees will be male and half, fe
male. During the bloom period
in the spring the male trees have
a very offensive odor and as they
do not develop fall coloring, they
are considered undesirable by
most people.
Native of Orient
It is a rather rapidly growing
tree and has leaves resembling
those of sumac. It is a native of
the Orient, but when introduced
into this country it flourished to
the point where it has become
naturalized 'and in many in
stances has become a tree weed.
It is supposed to be the only in
troduced tree on the Pacific
coast which has become com
pletely naturalized.
The tree has two drawbacks.
One is, it produces seeds in such
a large quantity that they fre
quently become a decided, weed
in cultivated areas. The other
drawback is that the seed pods
which are so colorful in the sum
mertime remain on the tree dur
ing much of the winter and are
rather unsightly.
