STORAGE PROBLEM IN oFF1NG

At least 100000 bushels Of
wheat which will be raised on Wash
ington farms this year will be with
out q home at harvest time unless
emergency measures are taken now.
This word was brought back to
the wheat country this week by
growers representatives who at
tended meeting in Seattle Satur-
day called by the United States
Department of Agriculture to dis
cues one of the most critical prob
lens wheat growers have faced.
There are in the state storage
facilities to handle 100000 bu-
shells of grain of all kinds It is
estimated that today there is room
in those facilities for only $1,000
600 bushels Of grain, because a
large part of last years wheat crop
and even part of 194O's crop still
is on hand.
Bidding for that storage space
this fail will be about 1900, 600
bushels of wheat, 100000 bush
els of oats, 100000 bushels of
BARLEY and an undetermined guam
tity of dry peas.
But those figures in themselves
do not tell the whole story. Nearly
half-35 $4,000 bushels-of the
total storage capacity in the state is
designed for sacked grain. and it Is
estimated that more than half of
the storage now available is sack
storage.

Miles C. Moore of Wa1la Walla
was Governor of the Territory for
the last seven months preceding
statehood II 1889. While his term
was short, he was an able executive
and conducted very creditable adj
ministration. He showed himself to
be more than equal to the social and
political anomalies of this twilight
period when 1t was not always easy
to avoid Involvement in disagree
able partisan controversies
A disaster of major proportions,
the great Seattle Are of June 1889,
occurred during Governor Moore's
term and it became Necessary to call
out the militia to help control the
situation. Almost this entire indust-
rial and Business section and much
of the residential portion of the
city of 10000 were wiped out.
Help came from all over the Pu-
get Sound area and fire-fighting
equipment arrived from as far as
Victoria and Portland. In the next
two months disastrous fires also oc-
Cured IN Spokane and Ellsnsburg.
This residents Of the thres cities,
however, responded with the char
acteristic pioneer spirit and their
homes were quickly rebuilt with
more fireprooi materials than the
wooden structures which had made
tbs fires SO devastating.
Miles G. Moore was born in Riy
Mills, Ohio, in 1845. He moved
with his family to Wisconsin 12
years later, moved to Montana at
is and arrived psnniless III Walla
Wa1la at the age of 20. BY the time
ne was 81 he had g partnership in

Mayor of Walla walla in 1877. af-
ter two terms on the city council,
and IN 1878 formed his own grain
and feed company. In 1899 he be-
came president Of the Baker Boye,
National Bank of Wa1la Walla. In
1913 he was elected president of the
board Of overseers OF Whitman Col
1ege. He died in Walia Walla in

DEFENDANT GETS
JUDGES VERDICT
$4,000 Asked of Motor
list in Connection With
Auto Fatality Here

Judgment for Harold r. Werner
of this city, defendant in a $500
civil action brought by Kathryn
Doolan, administrative of the estate
of John S. Doolan, late of Water
bury, is found in a memorandum
Of decision filed in superior court
today by Judge John A. Cornell.
Mrs. Doolan had charged that
her husband suffered injuries, re-
Sulting in his death March II, 1871
when he was struck by car driv
en- by the defendant, at the inter
section of Gilbert and West Main
streets. last March l. Doolan, it
was contended, had alighted from
Connecticut Railway and Light
ing Company bus, and in the act of
walking toward the sidewalk slipped
and fell on ice that had collected
on the pavement. Two vehicles, the
administrative contended, succeed
ed in avoiding striking the fallen
man, but a third, the Warner car,
crashed into him.
In his memorandum of decision,
Judge Cornell points out: "The fact
alone that the defendants car col
lided with the deceased as the lat
ter lay on the pavement does not
in itself impose Liability on the de-
PENDANT. The action is one of neg
lgence. and considering all of the
circumstances the conclusion is that
the plaintiff has failed to sustain
the proof of the acts alleged as
constituting this, nor in any other
respect"

motorists make drastic reductions
in their necessity or recreational
driving. What we do strongly urge
is that pending an easing-up and a
Qualification of the confused situa-
ton, particularly as regards rubber,
the motorists themselves can do a
great deal to keep them rolling.
voluntary budgeting and con-
servation on the part of the mo-
torist does not of course, diminish
by one iota the responsibility that
rests upon government and indus
try to make every possible pro-
vision to maintain the nations fleet
/ of passenger cars at the highest
possible registration level as a vital
element in our transportation and
in our war economy. There is reas-
on to believe that not sufficient
attention has been given to date
to this element in our economic
social, and transportation life.
THE maintenance of our pas
senger car fleet at a high level de-
Ponds upon three things-the avail
ability of ample parts, the avail
ability of services, and above all
the availability of rubber. For the
time being, the last is the crux of
the problem and it is primarily
because of the cloudy outlook as
regards tires that we are urging
motorists to budget their mileage
to slow down their driving speeds
to give their tires proper care at
all times, and to make a careful
apportionment OF car use. Here is
how to budget your mileage:
Gather the family around the
table some evening and figure out
how many miles were driven last
year for various purposes. Compute
how many miles the present tire
equipment may be expected to de-
liver, decide how much the family
can afford to drive in the year
ahead - and then distribute that
mileage over the various purposes
for which the car is used for go
ing to and from work, for shop
ping, for weekend trips, for vaca-
ton trip, for taking the children
to and from school, or other pur-
poses. After agreeing on where the
mileage cuts are to be made the
rtire family should stick rigidly
to the mileage budget.
"By so doing, rubber that might
well be burnt up in six months
through reckless use could be ex-
tended to nine months or year
without undue hardships or whole
sale reductions in registrations. APP
piled to our present tire reserves,
the budgeting habit would pay high
dividends to millions of motorists
Ind above all, keep the car in op-
Grafton. Manifestly, it is better TO
accep tthe worst from the stand
point Of the tire outlook and hope
for the best-hope that the unfold
ing major strategy of the war and
the placement of war production
or coordinated, Well-directed, and
objective basis, will make more
materials available for civilian con-
sumption, particularly in this vital
matter of passenger car trnsporta-
ton"

"Budget Mileage"
Motorists New Slogan
Extend Tire, Car Life, Urges American Automobile

Washington, D. c., Feb. g. Budget
Your Mileage" was today offered
by the American Automobile Asso-
ctaiion as wartime slogan to the
nations ,23,0O0,0OO passenger car
owners as the basis of a conserva-

The appeal to the car owners
was voiced by Thos. p Henry, Of
Detroit, Michigan, president of the
national motoring body, who point
ed out that "the time for wishful
thinking nd wishful hoping is
passed and that self-interest and
commonsense now make it obliga-
tory upon the motorists to cut out
purposeless driving and practice
proven measures of conservation. J"

their mileage, we are not suggest
