OREGON BOOSTERS
PROTEST AGAINST
COUNTY PURCHASE
Associated Industries Would
Have Commissioners Cancel
Order Given to Idahoans.

The purchase Of a car OF corrugaf :
ed culverts to be used. in the work on
the county roads recently made by the
county commissioners and county
Judge Is the cause for the Associated
Industries Of oregon coming out with
a protest against this alleged discrim-
ination and asking that the county
court cancel their order for the cu,-
yerts in favor of some oregon manu-
faeturer. The Associated Industries
cite the fact that to prosper oregon
manufactures must receive the sup
port of the people of the state; that
sucn support will provide employ
ment for many idle men end women
and that other counties % not pur-
chase supplies elsewhere when they
can be secured within fhe boundaries
Of their own state. The county com
n,issioners and the county judge on
the other hand. are of the opinion
that whenever they can save $500 or
$500 by purchasing supplies elsewhere
than in the state they are duty bound
10 do so.
County Judge Schannep when ap-
preached last evening concerning the
protest and request Of the Associated
Industries Of oregon said at first that
there was no county side to the mat
ter" dowever. he qualified that state
ment by saying that he felt that
when the county could purchase SUP
plies outside of the state at a saving of
$500 to $500 it was their duty to do
so. He further declared that the As
sociated Industries was trying to force
the counties and municipalities to buy
Oregon made goods when they could
purchase these same goods elsewhere
and at cheaper prices. These So
called manufacturers buy the CORFU
gated iron outside OF the state, roll
them into culverts and call it a home
product" he said The culverts In
question were purchased at Boise.
idaho. and are now in the process of
shipment.
The Associated Industries in the'r
| letter TO G. L. Dunning, county COM
missioner of Stanfield say that the
state association of county commits
sioners at their last meeting in Port
Hand decided to confine their purchas-
es to "Oregon made" products when
ever possible. Continuing, the letter
/ ,,ays that this same policy was adopt
ed by the state highway commission
This policy is necessary, says the let
ter in order to help build up Oregon
manufacturers who in turn help onil'
Inn the state and all to make all thu
Iemployment possible for the unem
lploved of the state. There are tive
manufacturers of corrugated culvert
in the state and the letter asserts an'
assumes that the purchase of the cul
j verts elsewhere was because tn
county court felt that II was buyinl
them for a little less money than the
could be bought in the state. Tn
letter declares that the county coul'

made in the state at a 10 per cen
higher price than elsewhere and sti

reason for this.

FIND VALLEY OF IRON
 NEAR CANADIAN LAKE

EDMONTON. Alta. Dec. 2l.-Dis- covery Of a valley of iron on the shores of Lake Athabasca has thrilled the north almost as keenly as the discovery of oil on the Mackenzie.
 The iron by analysis is 64.36 per cent pure. Steel tape run over the Cutcropping ore showed 150,OOO,0 900 tons available for mining, while s. 0O0,000 tons in loose blocks scat tered over the ground will require no mining operations. The entire ore body lies close to water navig- able by large vessels.
 The discovery was made by Nor man c. Butterfield and F. c. Butter field. his son. They had gone on q canoe trip to Fond-du-Lac, fur post at the east end of Lake Atha- basca and on their return voyage were forced ashore on a beach of black sand which formed the en- trance to the valley of iron.
 The iron Is within convenient reach of railway transportation. It can be shipped aboard steamboats from Lake Athabasca.

Passion Play to Be
 Staged Next Year

OBERAMMERGAU, Bavaria. Dec. 21.-The work of choosing the cast for the Passion Play, the great re- ligious spectacle which was last pro duced in 1910. has begun. The mem bers of the choir and the orchestra are already rehearsing. The first performance will be held in May. 1922.
 George Lang, eldest son of the Vil- lage \ sacristan, who played the part of Annas in 1910, is directing the spectacle. Anton Lang, Georges elder brother, took the leading part in 1909 and 1910, and 1t Is believed he will again assume the role of Christus. There will be new Mary as Ottile Zwink. who last played the part has married, and only single women are given parts in the play
 The village has to spend 100000 marks on preparation. and every member has staked his savings. The VOW made in 1883 that Passion Play should be presented once every ten years will be respected. If the world comes to Oberamnargau the popu- lace will be repaid. otherwise 1t will be ruined.
