OSLO, May 30. Stormy weather and fog north of
King's Hay, Spitsbergen, caused increase of the already
heavy anxiety over the fate of the Amundsen-Ellsworth
polar air expedition. With the ministry of defense push
ing plans for an eventual relief expedition, belief began
to, grow tonight ten days after the expedition's jump
off that such a hunt will be necessary.

AHACK ON COPCO
C. Newhouae, employed aa off-bearer at the new Shasta
View Lumber and Box company, was almost inatantly killed
at the plant yesterday at 4 p. m., when the sleeve of his right
arm became entangled in some unknown manner in a live
roller, resulting in the arm being torn completely from his
body, near the shoulder. . .
, Newhouse was reported to be an experienced mill worker,
but had been working at the Shasta View but two days be
fore his tragic death. No one witnessed the accident, and
Nine brothers, operators of the mill, say they are at a loss to
know how the unfortunate man was caught. A state inspector
passed upon the safety arrangement of the mill only a wek
ago, they explained last night. .
Dr. Campbell was called immediately following the ac
cident, and he arrived at the mill ten minutes later to find
Newhouse already dead from shock and loss of blood. The
man lived but two or three minutes after the accident. The
body will .be shipped tomorrow to Denver, Colorado, New
house's former home. He leaves a wife and nine-year-old
daughter here.

The biggest liquor catch for many months ivs ' obtained
last night when the entire sheriff's office swooped down on
the old poor farm, a house now in possession of J. McCormick,
i and obtained 15 gallons of moonshine and a party of roisterers.
The seven taken in the raid were J. McMormick, Mrs.
Katherinc McCormick, Howard Winnard, Walt Jacobson, L.
I). Phillips. Drew Bayless and S. T. Gotham.
One of the party was Howard Winnard, an editor of the
Evening Herald, the paper which recently sponsored a clean
up of the city, saying that liquor and moral conditions in
Klamath Falls were intolerable.
Winnard was caught in a lie by Sheriff Hawkins after
his arrest. "You gave your name as Howard Winters. I
am informed you are not Howard Winters, but Howard Win
nard," the sheriff essayed. Winnard then confessed he was
lying, that his true name was Howard Winnard, editor of the
Evening Herald Lumberlogue.
It was Winnard who was accused of being drunk when

Prices Fair Opinion
Another point on which these
same district officials made a de
termined right and apparently fail
ed was the reduction of the $90
costs on Tule Lake land. Governor
Campbell made It very plain that
In his opinion the cost or this gov
ernment land was not material
where the re-payment plan was
.based on crop production over a
'long period of time,
j Still another contention in which
I tho same forces seemed . to hare
made a losing right was In the tax
roller plea and prayer for -a mora
torium. Counter testimony from
project rarmers that they had lit
tle diHIcuIty In paying their taxes
where they stayed nt homo and
worked seemed to make a strong
Impression on tho hoard. On this
point Mrs. L. B. Hague who acted

' Combined rorces or the' sherirr's

a timed raid, barred all escape from

morning, arresting nine Indulging in

five-gallon keg. containing moon
shine, was taken, as well as three
bottles of beer, several partially
rilled whiskey bottles, a number or
empty- bottles and glasses, , seven

ber or poker chips. A negro in the
crowd seemed to have the bulk of
the money. When this was disclosed
Sheriff Hawkins sent Deputies Sny
der and Burke back to find the
missing "bones." But there were
no cubes. This negro had pockets
loaded with dollars and . small
change. A more Intensive personal
