Leather Industry In Sales Comeback Chicago (IP) The leather industry, facing the growth of synthetics and the decline of the horse, has made a sales comeback, according to the National Live Stock Pro ducer.

'umm -SUSPENSE 95 Bree r niiaxi i TO baniUf STREET 14 y -f inn p JOBll (lltuSQff P 1 Dr. Miller Author Of Magazine Article Ashland, Dr. Clifford R. Miller associate professor of social science at Southern Oregon college, has an article entitled "The Old School Bap tists in Early Oregon" pub lished in the December issue of the Oregon Historical Quarterly. According id Dr. Miller, this is the only historical ac count published of the an timission Baptists in Oregon. The article traces the origins of the Old School of Primi tive Baptist movement, de scribes its distinguishing char acteristics, and discusses the controversies that grew out of the little denomination's extreme Calvanistic beliefs and unusual church practices. Dr. Miller feels that the ultimate failure of the sect was due to an unprogressive and ultraconservative spirit. The. cultural and material growth of Oregon increasingly made its absurdities more ob vious and antiquated. By 1890 the Old School Baptists were of less consequence both relatively and absolutely than they were in 1870, and by 1926 t hey had disappeared from the Oregon scene, he said. Authorities Drop Assault Charges Baker rtPI Indictments on charges of assault with intent to kill brought against Wesley Earl Davis, 30, and Jack Nor man Gibb, 18, were dismissed Wednesday. Circuit Judge Lyle Wolff said the indictments were dis missed because of errors. He said they did not specify the weapons used or the means employed. But Indictments charging the two with assault with dangerous weapons and arm ed robbery still stand. The two, who had escaped from the Anacortes, Wash., city jail, were captured last month in the rugged Rye Val ley area of Baker county. They had overpowered a state policeman near Arling ton and drove his car to Boardman. There they stole another car arid subsequently were challenged by a state policeman east of Baker. They overpowered him and took his patrol car, then finally were captured in the rugged country near the Idaho border.

(IT) Tourists visiting the scenic Niagara Falls area have lost one of their vantage points for viewing the lower river and the famed Whirlpool Rapids. A bluff constituting part of Whirlpool State Park was blasted into the gorge late in 1957 because it had become a danger area, undermined by cracks and crevices. The area had been roped off for many months as a precautionary measure. The point of land was linked with Indian legends. Accord ing to one story, the area was used as the wedding grounds for all area Indian marriages a rug of bearskin would cover the shelf, and the ceremony would be held at the river's edge while torn toms above furnished wedding music. Another legend had it that Indians convicted of tribal crimes were tossed into the river from the bluff. Cleveland Zoo Has Rare Cross-Breed Cleveland, Ohio (LP) The Cleveland zoo has a rare cross-breed which, for want of a better name, is labeled ; "It." The animal is a cross be tween a Himalayan tahr a species of mountain goat and a fat-tailed Karakul sheep. Lighter in color than the sheep, the beast has a heavily matted wool and a goat-like head. Zoo officials said the ani mal came about because the tahr formed the habit of leap ing six foot fences to pay vis its to other paddocks, includ ing that of the sheep. Dr. T. H. Reed, acting head of Vie National Zoo, Washing ton, D. C. said there is no rec ord of such a cross-mating.
