Letters Tell
of Plight
in Austria
♦
In recent months we have read
o f the purge of the Jewish citizens in
Austria. To the average Hood River
county resident, Austria is a long
distance away and the actions there
should not interest us greatly. Re­
cently letters to local fruit distribu­
tors brought the matter close to
home. Two of the letters are printed
below.
“ Dear Sirs:
“ I refer to our relations and have
the honor, to bed you following
ca se :
“ By the circumstances I am forced
to leave my country and find a job
in another one.
“ I am 38 years old, speak the
English, German and Italian lan­
guages, and work 20 years in the
fruits and vegetables branche and
am a professional man for all those
articles. In my pretentions I am
very modest and am quite satisfied,
if I earn much enough, to have food
for my wife and myself.
“ I would be very thankful, if you
could help me, to find any position
in your country, and may be sure,
that I'll be to my best, to find the
full satisfaction of my employers.
“ I thank you for your kindness in
advance and remain, in awaiting of
your answer, Dear Sirs,
Yours faithfully”
“ Dear Sirs:
“ In 1933 we had a correspondence
regarding the sale of your produce
and I have been acting since as sole
agent for ............. in Austria.
“ Now under actual altered circum­
stances I feel obliged to emigrate
with my wife and five years old
child.
“ Should there be any chance to get
an employment or to make arrange­
ment in whatever way, I would be
too glad to collaborate with you,
being widely experienced in South­
ern fresh and dried fruit as well as
vegetable business. I may point out
in addition that I am in connection
with all important Central European
houses in this line and therefore
think I could certainly be useful to
you. Besides I am a good salesman,
speaking fluently English, French,
Italian and Spanish.
“ Below I get to state my personal
data which will be required by your­
selves of your friends to get the
Affidavit for me and my family, if
you were so very kind to provide for
same in order to enable me to emi­
grate to your country, and I may
assure you in advance that I should
in no way importunate you, as I
may always be able to earn my liv­
ing and that of my family.
“ Thanking you in anticipation for
a favourable reply, at your earliest
convenience, I am, Dear Sirs, Vera
Faithfully Yours.”

sing appreciation for the information
it carried. Receipt of that letter
went far toward remunerating Jim­
my Nelson. Today Jimmy Nelson’s
wife is recovering in a Cordova hos­
pital from a serious operation. His
mother, Mrs. E. L. Nelson, has just
returned to her home from a more
serious operation at a Dalles hos­
pital. But when Jimmy Nelson re­
ceives that invitation, carrying an
evidence of success of a great cam­
paign he played a part in launching,
he will be paid in measure far rich­
er than money.

and little river steamboats,
to move goods over the railroad than
Today, however, we are in a new
era of transportation—that ushered
in with the internal compustion en­
gine. To meet the demands of pas­
senger automobiles and motor trucks,
highways, truck lines, secondary and
markets roads, have networked the
land. Today the interior country is
so served by highways, built by fed­
eral, state and county funds, that
a motor truck can reach every ranch.
A new mobile, elastic system of land
transport has been built up to pro­
vide a complement for water mave-
ment of goods, the cheapest of all
forms of transportation. It has come
about so fast that the Columbia riv­
er is not ready for it. But those
who have given earnest study
realize that it is but common sense
to hasten Columbia river navigation­
al development, and along with it
that of power and reclamation.
Sprague
Returns from
Trip East
Salem, Ore., June 22—Charles A.
Sprague, republican nominee for
governor, returned here today after
three weeks spent in the eastern and
middle western states.
Sprague declared that while the
industrial centers of the east were
suffering from the recession, there
was a slight ray of hope for the
farmers. The crops are unusually
good, Sprague said, although the
prices are lower than in previous
years.
While in Chicago, Sprague called
at the national republican headquar-

But consumation of a campaign
for gaining the ultimate in benefits
from Columbia river resources is
far from complete. It must hurdle
the barrier reared by ignorance and
apathy back in the money marts and
thickly populated sections of the At­
lantic seaboard. Right at home we
have our traditions to overcome, we
must settle many little personal and
inter-district jealousies and grudges
and iron out many honest differ­
ences of opinion. We have before us
a stupendous task of readjustment.
♦
We stand today in an important
period of interlude. Ours is a period
that will join the great era initiated
by the brave and patriotic men of
old Champoeg and prosecuted by the
pioneer, and that new era, which
will, too, be one of pioneering, re­
quiring clear thinking, and the will­
ingness to give and take, just as
certainly as was that of frontier
times.

Sprague said he was advised by
Hard that it was the aim of the
republican party to work out a con­
structive program embracing the
desires of the public.
“ I have had a good rest,” Sprague
declared, “ and am now ready to
resume my newspaper duties. Later
I will enter upon an intensive cam­
paign, which will take me to every

MOTT SAYS ASSURANCE GIVEN
FUNDS FOR VALLEY PROJECT
Salem, Ore., June 22—Construction
of the Willamette valley flood con­
trol project is a definite probability,
Representative James W. Mott of the
first Oregon district declared upon
SEVEN
his arrival here today from Wash­
ington to spend the summer.
Mott said this project would not
only help to solve the unemployment
problem in western Oregon but its
benefits would be reflected in the
development of valuable agricultural
lands.
Third of Funds Assured
“ I received some assurance that
President Roosevelt would soon ap­
prove $350.00,000 or about one-third
of the total appropriation for flood
control,” Mott declared. He said the
Oregon project undoubtedly would
be included.
Mott declared that 16 Oregon coun­
ties would be benefited by the en­
actment of a permanent policy of
controlling administration of the
Oregon-Washington grant lands. He
said it was proposed to establish a
perpetual selective logging program
covering more than 3,000.000 acres.
Nation Takes Share
The government would receive 35
per cent of the sale price of ripened
timber for administrative costs while
the remainder, estimated at more
than $500,000 annually, would go to
the counties.
Mott declared that
this money would be welcomed by
the counties under existing condi­
tions.
A billion-dollar naval base for
Oregon also is a possibility, Mott
said. Mott declared that Admiral
Lahey, chief of the bureau of naval
operations, had informally agreed to
recommend the project.
A naval
board committee would inspect the
site before any definite action is
taken.
Session Held Arduous
Mott averred the past session of
congress had been strenuous, with
all sections of the United States
clamoring for a share of federal
funds to be turned loose in the gov­
ernment pump-priming program. He
predicted that Oregon would re­
ceive considerable of this money for
public projects.
After a few days spent at his home
here Mott and his family will leave
for Breitenbush springs, where he
will rest for two or three weeks.
Upon, his return to Salem he will
open offices in the local federal
building.
“ I expect to visit virtually every
section of Oregon on my campaign
for re-election,” Mott said. He is
the republican nominee.

FIVE YEARS LATER
He was old enough to know better. Here’s the story: He
bought a piece of real estate and accepted an abstract of title
which was not made by an abstract company maintaining a com­
plete set of abstract books.
Five years later, after building a very fine home on the prem­
ises, he attempted to sell his property. The prospective purchaser
would not accept for his attorney’s examination an abstract made
by a company which did not possess a a complete set of abstract
books. A new abstract was ordered and the true and complete
record of the chain of title, proved to be unmerchantable.
In
order to give a good title, the owner was forced to bring a suit to
quiet title, and when he paid the bill he remembered the old adage
about experience being an expensive teacher.
Safeguard your Investments in real estate. Insist that the ab­
stract of title upon which you and your atorney depends, for in­
formation concerning the chain of title, is made by a company with
a complete set of tract indexes.
