Arm itage of Vernonia, adjoins that of Mrs. Irma Loucks in Portland, where Mrs. Nelson D. Bowles either commited suicide or was murdered November 12. The kit chen of the Loucks apartment is so close that a full view of the Interior can be seen, and had not Mrs. Stevenson been resting at the time that Mrs. Bowles met death she could have witnessed the deed. The first thing that Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson noticed to be wrong was when the body was being carried into the ambul ance. They often saw Mr. Bowles around the place. Mr. and Mrs. Armitage drove to Portland Saturday with Mr. Armitage's father, B. M. Arm itage, and visited the Stevensons. According to Jack Carkin, who has charge of the ambulance drive for the American Legion, 641 ambulance tickets have been sold to date. About 700 is the goal, which, it is expected, will be speedily reached. The Legion decided Tuesday to arrange for a committee of three on purchase of the ambu lance, one member from each of the three participating organi zations, Vernonia post, chamber of commerce, and the Oregon- American Lumber company. The chamber of commerce at its meeting Wednesday noon sel ected Mr. Carkin to be its rép resentative. Cream Law Urged CHARLES HOFFMAN ON BAND TRIP EAST O.S.C., CORVALLIS— (Spe cial.)—Charles Hoffman, of Ver nonia, clarinet player in the Ore gon State band, is one of the 52 members of the college band who left for Chicago Saturday. The band will represent the en tire state at the Shrine benefit game Thanksgiving day, between Oregon State and West Virginia. Starting from Portland at 9:40 Saturday morning, the band met the football team at Green Ri ver, Wyoming. A special train took team, band and a number of Oregon football fans to Chi cago. The train stopped at Hastings, Nebracka, Coach Schissler's home town, for five hours, where a public demonstration was given. The special arrived in Chicago the day before Thanksgiving and planned to remain two days af ter the game so that all might attend the Army-Notre Dame game the Saturday after Thanks giving. The band trip wax assured through the success of a benefit theatre matinee in Portland and a pTe-aeaaon benefit footbaU game here. Since then competi tion for places on the travelling band has been very keen. Cap tain H. L. Beard, veteran leader who has headed the organiza tion for 26 years had difficulty in selecting the best 52 members from the total list of 80.

The need of a uniform cream grading law in Oregon, and the value of cooperative marketing of farm products were stressed by William Schilling, of North field, Minnesota, dairy member of the Federal Farm board, in an address at the dedication of the new plant of the Lower Columbia Co-operative Dairy as sociation in Clatskanie last Fri day. In a room not adapted to public speaking, in the presence a large audience that overtaxed a limited seating capacity, Mr. Schilling held the attention of his hearers throughout by his fund of wit and his engaging personality. C. W. Laughlin, manager of the association, stated that at present only about 2500, cows are available for milk supply, but that the plant, with a ca- parity far in the excess of that. had been built with a view to the future. The daily intake is said to be 60,000 pounds of milk, the capacity being about 125,000 pounds. The building is of brick and tile construction, 96x116 feet, and cost approximately $75,000. Dedication was in charge of the Clatskanie Kiwanis club. The program followed a luncheon at the creamery. Attending from Vernonia were H. E. McGraw. J. E. Kerr, Harry Kerns, George W. Ford, A. L. Kullander, Lester Sheeley, Ed Tapp and Ray D. Fisher. PROGRESSING FINE Swede Nelson Fights Six-Round Draw Swede Nelson of Vernonia fought Red Barber of Seattle to a six round draw in the Port land auditorium Tuesday night, For a while it looked as if Red had the better of the contest, and he seemed to be winner in the third, but Swede rallied in the later rounds. Swede’s weight is 159 and Red's 162. The event was one of several boxing matches of the evening under the direction of the Port land Boxing commission. Trains Fir Yield Data is Compiled by Service With new Douglas fir yield data compiled by the Pacific Northwest forest experiment sta tion, timber owners now can fig ure pdetty acurately how much a given tract of Douglas fir timber will yield at any future year. The U. S. forest service, from studies of the rate of growth of Douglas fir in the Pacific Northwest has developed yield tables and growth informa tion from which future timber crops now can be predicted, an nounces director T. T. Munger of the forest experiment station, Portland, Oregon. Timber growers of this region, knowing how many trees of var- ious ages per acre their lands support, and from the new yield data, how much timber will be produced each year on such land can make and carry out forest management plans so as to obtain periodically the same volume of timber crops. The investor in young timber can determine the number of yean required for the trees to reach merchantable size and the prob able yield that will be attained at a given age.
