Returns Home From South

As a result Of his experiences, Mr..
Tonkin is of the opinion that the av-

work as is the John Day out-of-sea-

able to build up an organized system

bluffing. They have been always
ready to threaten TO shoot game war

most part they are not so dangerous
as they would make believe.
story of Girls Threat
The story of the girl who threaten-

here, was a little different from the
true facts, he states. The girl in
question. a II year old mountain lass,
who dresses in boys clothes and who
rides like a cowboy. belonged to a
family, members of which he had ar
rested. She rode up the canyon to
warn neighbors of the coming of the
wardens and Tonkin and his com

boy there. Tonkin ran around back
of the house in time to see the boy
carrying off small piece of deer
meat. He gave chase whereupon the
woman drew a revolver and ordered
him to stop. He took a chance and
continued the chase. The woman
didn't shoot but the girl grabbed
ing it down on him when the other
deputy grabbed it. Mr. Tonkin says
he was in blissful ignorance of his
danger until he came back with the
meat.

was prohibltive, and assisted in mar
shaling the facts which showed the
justice Of the contention Of those
growers who were penalized in
freight rates because they live far
away from the places named as pri-
mary markets. after the ships upon
which they ordinarily depend have
been taken by the government.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board comes in for a share Of thanks,
also, because when the whole matter
was laid before him he took a broad
view of it. and readily agreed to apply
the remedy in the form Of a reduced
freight rate. 1t was a new question
to him and 1t develops that whep he
first sent Senator McNary a letter
quoting an S11.5O freight rate, he had
not been fully apprised as to what
this involved.
He had been told that this just
about covered the cost of carrying
the wheat to the Atlantic seaboard,
and he naturally supposed that in
to carry it at cost he was
making a fair offer. When he learn
ed later on that such a rate meant
that no wheat would be shipped by
water; that the railroads would thus
be given a burden thy ought not to
bear: that northwest ASowcrs would
be disseminated against to the extent
OF the freight rate if the ships are not
used for wheat; and when it was
pointed out that the ships and Wheat
both owned by the government, the
logical thing to do is to put the wheat
in the ships and send them across
the water to meet the war needs of
the nation. Mr.. Hurley saw the point.
Senator Charles l. McNary also
plays an important part in this little
drama of the wheat. The Oregon
senator was a schoolmate of Herbert
c. Hoover at Salem. Ore. and they
met last year in Washington on the
basis Of old chums"
