TOWN WELL NEARLY FINISHED

Smith and Kern, who are digging
the new concerted we'll in town, have
the hole down 80 feet, where the
first water was encountered. The
digging, now that they are in water,
may be somewhat slower but it is
thought that they will have the job
completed next week and the new well
hooked up to the distributing system.

SUMMERS HELPS BOOST
BUTTER CONSUMPTION

Although Congress is not in session,
John w. Summers, congressman for
this district, is working about as hard
and spending about as much time in
looking after the interests of his con-
stituents from his home at Walla
Wa1la, where he is spending the sum-
mer, as he does when at the national
capitol. Hundreds of requests and in
quiries reach him and each one re-
ceives his prompt and personal at
tention and he is invariably able to
get the desired results.
Mr.. Summers presented the indie
pendent offices appropriation bill on
the floor of the house at Washington,
D. c.. in the past months and directed
debate on the measure, which involved
more than billion dollars in expenses
for "a branches of the federal gov
eminent.
During the presentation he submitted
an amendment which forbade the use
of butter substitutes on the tables of
all veterans hospitals and soldiers
homes of the country. DR.. Summers
had discovered that it was the prac-
tice to use butter substitutes for table
use in the soldiers homes. This one
item alone is estimated to increase
butter consumption in this country by
100000 pounds year. This bill goes
into effect July first.

HOOVER CONSIDERS
FARLEY ON SILVER
Norman to Be Questioned
About Views on Ratio on
Visit to U. S.

Following the action of the Senate
in the recent session in passing the
Pittman resolution on silver, the admin
istration, according to talk in Senate
circles, is giving serious consideration
to the world silver problem and what
to do about 1t.
The Pittman resolution expresses the
Senate view that this Government
should make an effort to arrange an in
ternational conference on silver with
the hope of getting the British gov
eminent to change its policy under
which the gold standard is imposed on
India.
Further, the resolution contemplates
that an international understanding
shall be arrived at whereby silver would
be given definite worldwide ratio to
gold. In general, the purpose of Sena-
tor Key Pittman of Nevada, its author,
is to rehabilitate, at least to some ex-
tent, the price of silver, which Is now
at the lowest point on record, and to
expand the buying power Of India,
China and other silver using countries.
While India Is now on the gold stand
ard, 1t had used silver before the I'M
position of the gold standard.
Senator William e. Borah, chairman
Of the Foreign Relations Committee,
today said he had discussed the silver
situation with President Hoover when
ne lunched at the White House re-
Gently, and that he had urged on the
President the importance of this Gov
eminent taking up the silver problem
with other nations ana trying to effect

'The danger Of permitting further

Emergency Committee for Employ

craft which are still at her command,
including knowledge of "how to make
q fire in the rain, to pitch tent, cook
a meal over fire of wood, how to sleep
comfortably on camping trip without
. tent, how to ride horseback and how
to enjoy nature"
whenever she is in California In
the Summer it continued, "she visits
the Girl Scout camp where she is

camps custom of giving each OF its
adult visitors the name Of an animal"

an understanding about . ratio between
gold and silver.
Senator Borah believes the present
depression In the price Of silver Is con-
tributing toward continuation Of the
world depression. He has been told
that there Is strong sentiment axnOng
British merchants and business men for
action to restore the value Of silver and
make it available TO the peoples who
want to use It. The Manchester Board
OF Trade, for instance, has recently In
dicated that it Is Of this opinion.
Dispatches from abroad indicating
that Montagu Norman, governor OF the
Bank OF England, is about, 10 visit the
United States, have served to arouse
interest here among Senators who are
concerned over the silver question.
Gables indicate Mr.. Norman, who has
visited this country repeatedly, Ia COM
ing here with q view to keeping interest
rates low. However, 1t Is thought not
unlikely that while he Is here American
ofncialS viii take up with him the silver
problem and sound him out on the
question Of giving the silver-using coun-
tries relief from the present extreme
low price of silver in the belief that by
doing so their purchasing power win be

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, March
21.-Great blocks of ice, damned in
White Bay by a westerly wind, made 1t
impossible today for ships carrying sur
vivors Of the viking disaster to bulge.
The Sagona, with ITO Of the rescued
aboard, was blocked in hummocks flve
miles of Horse Island, unable to make
the slightest progress toward st. johns,
where the injured men might ease
themselves in hospital beds.
With navigation impossible, the slim
hope Of finding any Of the IS men now
missing was fixed on aviation.
BaIchen Held Up.
Bernt Balchen, veteran Arctic flyer,
was held up at st. John, N. B., 686
miles away, where he worked feverishly
reloadinR his Sikorsky amphibtan. He
found he had more weight than the
plane could handle. The machine later
was placed in hangar at the st. John
Airport for the night. Balchen said
he wanted to make Newfoundland in
one hop, having lightened the plane to
a satisfactory load weight. Only IN
emergency, Balchen said, would bring
him down after a daybreak taEe-oh be-
fore sighting Newfoundland.
Balchen planned to cruise over the
ice wastes in the hope that Varick Fris-
sell, New York moving picture producer,
and others Of the missing might still be
alive.
No plane could land on the jagged
ice, but boats might be able to break
through If the wind shifted and the air
man located any survivors.
