FREE BEACHES
Of POLLUTION
Protest Made at Hearing by.
FreIinghuysen and AppIeby
to Hoover
BY GEORGE II. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of P. A.

Evening News)
WASHINGTON, June 17:-A
vigorous protest was made against
the pollution of the New Jersey
beaches. rivers and stream by Sem
ator Joseph Frelinghuysen, Repre-
sentative Appleby of Asbury Park
and Representative Radcliffe of Pat
erson at a hearing yesterday before
Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover and other officials of the
commerce department having to do
with waterways.
They complained bitterly hat the
ocean waters are being polluted by
tank steamers and vessels of all
types burning oil and urged that
means be adopted to put an end to
the practice. The oil burning steam
ers putting u of New York and
especially those going southwark
flush their engines off the Jersey
coast and throw off great quantities
of heavy oil that sinks to the bot
tom at first and is later washed up
upon the Jersey beaches, along the
shores and into the rivers and
streams.
This refuse is running some of the
beaches and doing serious injury at
other points. 1t is killing the fish
in the ocean and along the shores
n up the they asserted,
and is keeping the shad out of the
rivers. Many millions of dollars are
invested on the Jersey beaches and
in the fishing industry along the
Jersey 'coa4, they said, and it is inn
perative that steps be taken to abate
the nuisance.
Senators and congressman and
representatives Of interested parties
from Maine to Florida Joined the
New Jersey representatives in their
protest and endorsed prompt pass
age of legislation to correct the evil.
Senator Frelinghuysen introduced
a bill in the senate some weeks ago
to forbid such pollution of the wa
ters and will now press 1t with in
creased vigor.
Representative Appleby will intro
duce a similar bill in the House so
that action can be urged on the
measure in both houses. Secretary
Hoover is expected to send a strong
recommendation to congress endors-
ing the measure which will aid ma
terially in the efforts to secure it's
passage.

A LANDLORDS STATEMENT

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Might l ask you to give this letter
a bit of space in your valuable paper
under the heading Public Opinion"
In the June 18th issue of h
NEWS, under the heading, widow
and five children ousted for failure
to pay rent" there appeared an ar
ticle to the effect hat l ousted a
widow named Mrs. V~alenceivitz and
her five children because of her in
ability to pay a bill amounting to
forty-eight dollars due me, seven
teen dollars of which is alleged in
the article to be a bill for liquor.
I want to say here hat the above
entire sum was due me from her
husband for rent. Her husband is
at this time and was then a resident
of the State of Pennsylvania. Upon
being asked for the rent the widow
replied that she would not pay it
and further retorted hal she would
u ove her belongings during the
night and that l might whistle for
my rent
The following morning a large
truck backed up in front of her
home and the man proceeded to
move said belongings which were
strewn about the street ready to be
loaded on the truck, when a consta-
BILE arrived with an attachment
which, incidentally. was perfectly
legal, and attached the belongings of
the debtor to the extent of the bill.
No doubt a great number of peo-
pie who read that article arrived at
the conclusion that 1 played the part
of the harsh landlord, trying to
squeeze a poor widow with five chill
dren, but such is not the case. She
could have remained in hat house
indefinitely and 1 would have waited
patiently for the rent. as I did during
the three months that it was in ar
rears, had she not Haunted her in
tention to dodge it in the way that
she did.

CHARGED WITH
SERIOUS CRIME

A. p. Aspy was arrested last Fri
day at his home two miles west OF
Payette by Sheriff John T. Jelieris
and Deputy W&ibrecht and brought
to Payette where on Monday he was
arraigned before Probate Judge
Martin O. Luther charged with an
assault with a deadly weapon with
intent to kill, on the person Of w.
.T. Cope a neighbOr owning an ad-
joining ranch. Mr.. Cope and Mr..
Aspy own adjoining farms and for
past year there has been more or
less trouble over a roadway leading
through Mr. COpe's place to the
Aspy ranch being the only outlet for
Mr.. Aspy. It seems the matter was
settled by the court some time ago,
allowing Mr.. Aspy to use the road.
but it is alledged that recent trouble
has arose over Mr. Cope using the
roadway for pasture and that on
Friday when Mr.. and Mrs. Aspy re-
turned from town. Mr.. COpe's horses
were being pastured in the lane. It
is also alledged that Mr.. Aspy after
arriving At his home about eleven
O'Clock went to the Orchrd where
Mr.. CoOe was moving bay betweeen
the trees and fired several shots
at Mr.. Cope, one taking effect IN
the back.
One of the neighbors nearby i'm
mediately gave notice to Mrs. Cope
who telephoned the Sheriff's office
and summoned medical aid. Sheriff
Jefferis and Deputy Walbrecht were
the first to arrive and assisted in
getting EIr. CoDe to his home. Drs.
/. r. and J. C. Woodward soon ar
rived and removed Mr.. Cope TO Pay
cite where he was given an aNami-
nation and temporary aid and then
removed to the Ontario Hospital.
From an EX-ray examination it ap-
Deared that the bullet which was
alledged to have been fired from
80 caIiber revolver had penetrated
the Spile just above the hips but has
not been located or removed. 1t is
believed by the physicians that Mr.
Cope will recover.
Mr.. Aspy was given preliminary
examination before Judge Luther
Wednesday and bound over to the
district court for trial, his bond
which was fixed at S5.OOO.00 has so
far not been given.
Mr.. Aspv and Mr.. Cope have both
been considered good respectable
and were neighboTs before
moving to Payette few years ago,
and the affair IS very much re-
GREETED by the people of this com

a WORD oF CAUTION

Reports have come to this office
that both boys and girls have fre-
quently been seen carelessly playing
along the river bank near the o. S.
L. railroad bridge. They have been
seen playing on the sacks of sand
placed near the bridge to prevent
washing where the swift water runs
near the bank, mad in various places
of great danger. Parents should be
cautioned against allowing their
children TO play Promiscuously
without knowing where they are,
The old saying OF Our fore-fathers:
An ounce OF preventative is better
than a pound of cure" will apply in
these days, and especially in this
case.

OIL AND GAS
DEVELOP PNENT

Payette is in the midst Of active
oil development. The Idaho Oh
& Gas Co. as soon as the combina
ton was completed with the local
COMPANY at once opened up cCmmo
dious Offices at 26 S. Sth St, and, as
announced in last weeks paper,
brought in three carloads of drilling
machinery and lumber which is now
unloaded assembled on the old
cannery grounds south of the depot,
The machinery to be used III drll.'
ling here consists Of full standard
equipment. The drilling machinery
and casing weighs over seventy tons.
One more car of lumber consisting
mostly of heavy foundation timbers
will arrive this week. Mr.. Stevens,
an experienced oil driller from
Southern fields, took immediate
charge of unloading and assembling
the machinery and he has a large
crew of men and several teams al
work. It is interesting to note the
size and weight OF this drilling ma
chinery There are drilling bits
ranging from IA inches to four
inches in diameter, some OF which
weigh more than a ton. These are
connected up with stems and jars
Some of the stems are from 40 to
46 feet long and weigh several tons,
The weight of the big boiler which
will furnish steam for the drilling is
estimated at about six tons and II
is no small job to unload and move
this machinery to the drilling site
AS oOOn as the machinery is as
sembled expert rig builders will al
at once start construction OF the
big derrick which will be 81 it. tall.
This work is being rushed as fast as
possible and will probably require
at least two weeks time before the
actual drilling is started.
Payette is to be congratulated on
having the biggest and most COM
plete drilling outfit in the State To-"
Gated at this point. The drilling
site was selected just west Of the
railroad tracks and below the
cannery by reason OF the fact that
two gas gushers were brought IN
there about IA years ago. As many
gas wells are now flowing in this
community, the Oil COmpany's Off
GERS believe that they cannot fail to
bring in productive gas well and
are making preparations to pene-
trate all well known gas stratus and
save all the gas that is truck.
Dozens of people are watching the
progress of the oil work and taking
a keen interest in this project that
promises to be such big thing for
the Payette district
This Company has shown its good
faith by bringing i'll the most com
plete drilling outfit and rushing the
work as fast as the heavy machinery
can be unloaded

WITNESS FLOODS IN NEBRASKA

Mr.. Geo. R. Fulton and SON.
Charley Fulton, returned Saturday
from Marysville, Kansas, having
went to that place some two weeks
ago with the body of Mr.. Fulton 5
daughter for burial On their re,
turn trip they witnessed the results
of a terrific water spout on Plat
river bottom near Ogallala and Big
SPRINGS. Neb. For a distance OF
about 25 miles the entire river bot
tom was under water. Hay stacks
we're standing in the fields in four to
five feet of water and the railroad
track in many places was also under
water. IN one place several auto
tourists were hemmed in on a small
island with the water still raising.
At Ogallala the water was rushing
through the streets up to the bodies
of autos with rescuing parties in
boats on the Main street, the rush
of water had come upon them un~
expectedly and without warning.
They report the corn crop IN
Kansas and Nebraska as generally
looking exceptionally good but
wheat very poor, due to the extreme
dry weather in the early part of the
season.

SAFETY FIRST

On driving up west Third Avenue
North last Tuesday afternoon it was
our first impression, that another
oil company had started operation
in the west part of town, but on ar
irving a little closer, discovered
that the structure was not an oil
derrick but a lot of staging and lad
ders at the E. A. Blair home where
the process of painting was in opera
ton by the owner who was artisti-
cally spreading the paint and was
doing a first class job alright but
the women from that part of town
who were holding a quilt at the bot
tom of the ladder was just little
nervous for fear an accident might
happen.

PAYETTE COUNTY HAS -.
CLEAN DAIRY HERD

Payette County is agin no the
map. According to Dir. J. e. Ellis
three hundred dairy cows were Civ
en- the tuberculosis test last week
and the percent OF reactors was
found to be only .03S %. The av-
erage per cent Of reactors for Idaho
is ~ thus showing that the herds
in this district do not help much in
making this average.
DR.. Ellis stated that he would like
to see every COW in the county test
ed. If this could be accomplished
it would be agreat advertisement to
the county. 1t has been definitely
proven that bovine tuberculosis is
transmitted to humans thru milk.
15% of the tuberculosis in children
in the u. S. is said to be caused by
feeding milk from tuDercular cows.
The testing work will be resumed
later in the summer. 1t is hoped to
soon be able to place several Pay
cite County Dairymen on the ac-
credited herd list which means that
their herds must pass two tests with
out reactOr.

EXTREME HIGH WATER?

The Payette and Snake rivers are
the highest in years at this time Of
the year. 1t is attributed to the
extreme snow fall in the mountains
and the rains and warm weather
the past week. The water is backed
up until some of the Easements are
showing considerable water. At
the Bancroft Hotel a pump is kept
running to keep the water out of
