"TURK” SUSTAINS INJURIES
FROM INEBRIATE CALLERS
M. E. Turkington, of Turk’s
Chili bowl in West St. Helens,
experienced the first “rough
house” of his career Saturday
evening when he attempted to
protect two high school boys
from some local men who had
been drinking not wisely, but
too well.
Turk sustained a fractured rib
in the fray and reports that
some damage was done to the
shop. He is going to file suit
against the men to recover the
damage done.
“In the future,” Turk stated,
“any one who starts a fight in
my pl ace will be met from the
inside of the counter first, and
talked to afterward.”

We notice that one of our

ried the notification to its read-
ers that it was short of space
and that several imporant news
stories had been left out. No
doubt every paper that is out
after the news could carry this
information almost every week,
event though it is more true
some weeks than others. The
production of a weekly news
paper is an all week job and oc
casionally when abnormal de-

and equipment in the last minute

not be avoided.

October eclipsed all previous
months in 1930 for the arrival
of new families in Oregon, which
totaled 120, according to the
monthly report of the state cham
ber of commerce. The new fa
milies invested $318,822 in land,
equipment, household goods and
other property.
Acres of land purchased by
new families totaled 10,0,06, lo
cated in all parts of the state.
Letters arriving daily at the state
chamber office tell of hundreds
of families in the middle and
southern states who plan trips
of inspection to Oregon this fall.
