T. (Doc) Marsnah. owner of the Polar cold storage and locker plant. Marshall said that he was look ing forward to a heavy demand for lockers in his plant, which has been designated as an official game tag ging station, by the Oregon State Game commission. Co-operation of pheasant hunters was asked by Marshall in comply Washington, D. C. News Bureau of ing with the law requiring that all the Nyssa Gate City Journal pheasants stored must have the head on. WASHINGTON, D. C.—They’re scaring people around here unne cessarily. Gates to the White Hiuse have been clanged shut and armed policemen stand there to shoo the throng of tourists away. Heretofore tourists could enter and wander around the grounds, feeding pea nuts to the gray squirrels. That's out now. The famed East room of the White House, visited by sever al thousand tourists daily, is barred. Ropes and barricades are in the corridors of the sprawling capitol building uuuuiiig to w curb visitors. “ Even 'T* members of Congress have had to identify themsedves to young law students who compose the capitol K £ S V r .S r V E S C it was not considered safe for them to carry weapons. They have been rearmed. Guards at the doors of public buildings give the double-O to every man or woman entering the place. The policeman watch ing the faded Constitution and Declaration turns gimlet eyes on visitors scanning the documents as though he expected someone to steal the papers and ruin the coun try by leaving it minus the Consti tution. Knots of women wander through senate and house office buildings carrying small American flags and banners with the legend “Keep us out of war." If the group of women is too large, the police break them up and order them to stop scream lng. Japanese Trade Favored In the midst of their delibera tions on neutrality, members of Congress from western states are finding time to express their doubt as to the wisdom of abrogating the trade treaty with Japan, which has been mutually profitable since 1911. Department of commerce figures show that Japan is the largest pur chaser of Pacific Northwest prod ucts and third largest buyer of American exports. The Pacific Northwest lumber industry will be especially hard hit if and when trade relations are finally severed, and already there is a movement afoot to bring about a re-opening of negotiations looking to the draft ing of a new treaty. It will be point ed out that Japan has been care ful to refrain from interfering with United States interests in China, that she has been progressively more important as an outlet for American wheat and flour, inad dition to forest products, and that the cultivating of amicable trade relations with the Orient is essen tial to the prosperity of the entire western part of the United States. Northwest Employment Up Upswing in employment in the Pacific Northwest, noted several weeks ago. continues. Industries 4excluding building construction) in Washington state—1461 report ing—employed 56,481 in August, a five per cent increase over July, with a payroll of $1,503,905, an in crease of 11 per cent.

Part of the increase was due to the canning season. It is worthy of note, however, that the payroll increase of 14.2 per cent in Oregon was the largest of any state in the union, with Cali fornia second with 13.5 per cent in- (Continued on Page 6 .

OBJECTS TO PLAN SALEM—A move toward the cre ation of a state marketing agency was launched here this week at a marketing conference sponsored by the state board of higher educa tion and presided over by Governor Charles A. Sprague. More than 50 persons representing organizations and groups interested in the mar keting problem attended the con ference, which was pretty much dominated by state employees. Al though the conference was called to consider a problem most directly affecting the producers, only a few of these were in evidence and most of these attended as representa tives of co-operative marketing or ganizations rather than as dirt farmers. Those on the program advocating the establishment of a central mar keting agency included J. D. Mickle, state director of agriculture; W. J. Kerr, chancellor-emeritus of the state system of higher education; E. C. Sammons, member of the board of higher education; Dean W. A. Schoenfeld of the school of ag riculture at Oregon State college; President Donald M. Erb of the University of Oregon; Marshall N. Dana of the Oregon Journal, and E. B. MacNaughton, Portland bank er. Sammons, speaking for the board of higher education, declared that it was not the desire of the board to incorporate the proposed market ing agency within the state system of higher education. “That plan,” he said, “ is out the window.” A dissenting voice was raised by Morton Tompkins, member of the legislative committee of the State Grange. Tompkins declared that solution of the marketing problem should be left to co-operative mar keting associations. He urged, how ever, that these associations be strengthened through the enact ment of a legislative program simi lar to that in effect in California including a state agricultural ad justment act and a pro-rate act.

Nyssa Bulldogs Set For Weiser Tilt Friday LOCALS WIN PRE-CONFERENCE GAME FROM WILDER 12-0 Coach John Young and his assist ant Bob Parke are looking forward to tomorrow’s game, the first con ference game of the season, and wondering if the speed of their lightweight team will prove super ior to that of the heavies from Weiser. Game time is called for 2:30 p. m. on the local field. The worries of the local coaches center principally around the fact that only four lettermen are in the line-up on this year’s earn. The balance of the team, on top of their inexperience are light. This inex perience explains in part, for the numerous offside penalties the Bulldogs had meted out to them in last Friday’s game with Wilder. Timing has been one of the features of this weeks workouts. In the game with Wilder, Nyssa came out the winner with a score of 12-0, with Molmes and Ray reel ing off long gains, however both scores, one in the second and again in the third quarters, were made from line plunges. Holmes carried the ball for both touchdowns. The set-up for the first score was made when Wilder fumbled on their own 30-yard line and Nyssa recov ered. With an apparent safe score Coach Young sent in his second string team at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but when Wilder drove deep Into Nyssa territory, replaced them with his original lineup. That Nyssa may prove to be dan gerous on passes is shown by the fact that out of five tries the Bull dogs completed two. Wilder flipped four passes, completing only one and had one intercepted. A committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of South western Idaho and Eastern Oregon voted Monday night at a meeting held in Emmett to deter action on a resolution presented by the Nyssa chamber of commerce which would designate the highway between Nyssa and Caldwell as U. S. High way 30 South. The meeting, call ed especially to consider the resolu tion, developed Into a word battle between the delegations from On tario and Payette In which each intimated that the other town was giving incorrect information to tourists regarding mileage. An attempt was first made by the Payette delegation to table the reso lution. which would have meant the death of the measure, but the Boise and Caldwell delegations amended the motion to table to allowing the further consideration of the designation on the grounds that Idaho highways 49 and 18 are not Federal Aid Project roads. In Tonsils Out— vestigation of this latter problem John Snow and Willard Bennett was deemed advisable before final both employed at the sugar fac action by the committee. tory, had their tonsils removed at the Sarazin Clinic on Wednesday.
