"The taxes have advanced in Ore
gon at such rate that Oregon tax
en- as a whole is forcing its farmers
to pay half the rental value OF the
land for taxes. 1 want your friend
ship and advice.'
A resolution was passed which is
TO be directed to Senator Charles
McNary, Washington, D. c., asking
him to use his influence in seeing
that a number of farmers are ap-
nointed as directors of the Federal
Loan banks. At present there is
NOT a farmer on the board.

GIRL MURDERED
WOMAN ALLEGES

Portland, Ore, Dec. 21-Police in
spectors announced early today after
long questioning Of Miss Helen
Leary, a waitress, aged 20, and
Cash Weir, a riverman, aged SO,
that they were unable to reach any
definite conclusion as to the accur-
acy of a story told by the woman to
the effect that she had witnessed
through a knothole Of a houseboat
on the Willamette river here the
killing Of an unidentified girl, aged
about 10 by Weir September 20,
last.
Both are held pending further in
vestigation and police were endea-
voring to find Earl Weir, son of the
riverman, for his version of the al
legged affair. According to the wo-
mans story, the son had entered the
house boat just after the girl had
been killed and had aided his father
in placing the body in the river from
a launch.
The elder Weir continued today to
scout the story, declaring it had
been entirely manufactured and the
police and deputy District Attorney
John Mowry were closely question
ing the aecuser to test her state
ments.
Miss aeary said she had been in
Portland since September !, that she
came with her brother, his wife and
children from Omaha, Neb, and that
she remained in Portland and they
went on to Ashland, where they are
now.
