'Starch Plant Site Selected TULELAKE, June 22 The location of the Northwest Che murgy cooperative starch fac- tory has been definitely settled with the purchase of a potato ' celler owned by G. W. Osborn and son. The celler, situated ' east of the Southern Pacific ' tracks at Hatfield, is 300 feet long and above ground. Three carloads of machinery have already been unloaded at the celler. The machinery was brought from a government- owned starch plant in Laurel, Miss. Although it was installed in a factory there for the pro cessing of sweet potatoes, it was never used. Construction Is expected to get underway by the first of - next week, and they plan to be in operation in time for the - potato crop. Clarence Rice of Wena tehee, Wash., is In charge ' of the construction. When complete the factory 1 will be on a 24-hour schedule c and 25 men will be employed. I Besides additional remodeling, " it is probable that glucose ma ' chinery will be added to the J factory before winter. Approximately $100,000 for ' construction was raised by farm ers before June 1. ' Housing Authorities Denounce Rent Order PORTLAND. Ore.. June 22 (IP) Housing authority commis- . sioners of Portland, Clackamas county. Ore- and Clark county. Wash., said today that a fed ' eral public housing authority , rent oraer is unfair and they will not follow it. The order provides for ad justing rents on the basis of Income. This, the commission ers said, would be unfair to low-income families unable to get space in public housing pro jects and would tend to make all temporary housing low-rent and permanent. They agreed, however, that it was proper to adjust rents on an income basis for veterans and welfare cases. Industrialization Of China Favored PORTLAND, June 22 (JP) China- should industrialize un der management of her own citizens, even if the capital is borrowed from the United States or private investors, the Northwest Institute of Interna tional Relations was told yes terday. - Dr. C. K. Yang of the Uni versity of Washington declared the postwar rush of foreign firms to establish plants in China was "ominous. That na tion suffers if foreign investors control her factories and take away the profit, he said. VANISHING HOUSE STEVENS POINT. Wis.. June 22 (JP) R. B. Lewis, county wel fare director, sold a seven-room house, but when the purchaser went io move in tne nouse was gone.

THE BLOCKBUSTER SHOW AT 8:30 ON THE AIR OVER KFJI Ends TONIGHT 8 Cut. (it-JiiDMnOwi um Other mains to be installed will include an 8-inch main from the viaduct to Shasta way and a 4-inch main from Shasta way to Washburn drive. Copco officials say that work cam be finished in a short time if the right-of-way is established. There are still several buildings to be moved, which is holding up work. A shortage of house movers is named as the reason for the delay. Cable Needed Approximately 7000 feet of un derground conduit has been laid by the telephone company along Sixth street, but as yet the com pany has been unable to acquire the necessary cable. Company officials also name a 30 to 60-day period for completion of work once the necessary materials are at hand. Phone service will not be in terrupted at any time, but it is hoped that the underground cable will arrive before the pres ent posts have to be moved in connection with the physical widening of the street. some 20UU feet of underground sewer has been laid by Harry Hamilton, subcontractor, along the Sixth street route. Warren Northwest, contractor, reports that about 80 per cent of the clearing and grubbing of trees along tne right of way has been completed. There still remains pre-con- stmrtinn work tn b done, hut work on the street will start soon, and highway officials say that south sixth will be tied up for several months after con struction begins. One lane of traffic will be kept open at all times, but this will probably be I inadequate to handle the normal I flow of traffic.

'Illegal Contract' Balks Shasta View Irrigators n;ru. k.ia.n ih Simla I formed district official that as View irrigation district and the reclamation bureau were brought to public attention again yester day by an advertisement insert ed in The Herald and News charging the bureau with "black marketing'' water. The Shasta View board clulmed the bureau had served notice it would not provide water for lands of the district after June 24. This, i the advertisement charged, was due to the fact that the district had refused to sign an "illegal contract" offered it by the reclamation bureau, E. L. Stephens, reclamation superintendent, said today that there has been no refusal to serve lands of the district with water as of June 24. Instead, he said, he has in- Portland Lad Yins Air Trip Jack Stanley, a 12-year-old Portland boy, arrived in Klam ath Falls yesterday on the first lap of 600-mile airplane trip which he won as first prire for naming a new Piper Cub air plane during a nationwide con test sponsored Jointly bv Piper Cub.

June 22 UP) A 72 year heat record was established here today when the official thermometers registered 93 de-. grees rahrenheit. Starts I of that date, the landholders will be expected to pay rental for water they have received and to make current payments; before rcelving further water. He de nied that this could be Inter preted as a refusal to deliver water. Stephens said that the. bureau is not dealing with the Shasta View as a district, there being no new contract as yet between them, but deals with Individual landowners on a rental basis. He said that there Is no discrim ination between these landhold ers and others in a similar status, i Shasta View became inactive a few years ago, but was recently j reactivated as a district and A. M. Thumas is its managing rep resentative. It Is a "pumping district" as contrasted with areas served by gravity flow. The board claims that thcrf is no contract as yet between the district and the bureau because the contract offered Is unsatis factory. It charges that the con tract contains provisions with respect to excess water charged and other matters which are Illegal under law as interpreted by tile U. S. supreme court. The excess water charge issue is an old one here, with farmers and farm groups generally contend ing that .the bureau has no right to charge for water above any arbitrarily established amount. "Beneficial use" should be the only measurement, they argue. It is understood the district takes the position that until tho contract issue is settled, it should not be required to make pay. menu. It has been Indicated that tho Shasta View contract issue, as well as the question of excess water charges, may be left in abeyance pending the outcomo of a comprehensive Investigation of the Klamath region by tho reclamation bureau, which is now getting under way. .The love story that will live with yovi ' today; 'tomorrow tmdfomtrf' r F-1 I "To fQ P'W ff do I ) belong?" t fit1 V 44.
