Potato Growers Not To
Form Marketing Assn.
Although plans for the formal»
tion of a Potato Groviers’ Assn.
here this summer to market local—
ly grown potatoes, have been a-
bandoned, it was announced this
week that growers interested,
may market their potatoes thru
the Snohomish County Berry
Growers’ Assn. Buyers have al-
ready indicated to this group a
willingness to buy the produce
at market prices.
A‘ survey conducted last week
by N, B. Newman and Mr. Cam—
eron failed to disclose sufficient
interest to form a growers c0—
operative this year. Plans had
been laid to market the produce
of scores of acres as a unit, es-
tablishing a shipping and grading
station here.
Mr. Newman, J. J. Day or O.
P. Hanson will supply informa—
tion to any grower. interested in
selling potatoes through the

Flood ControINear
Wallgren, Believes
Congressman Makes Out-
line of Projects
In District
Possibility of receiving federal
aid for control of floods on the
rivers of Northwest Washington
under the. provisions of the pub—
lic works portion of the National
Recovery act is seen by Congress—
man. Mon C. Wallgren, according
to a letter received from him by
The Tribune this week.
Learning that a. sum of mon-
ey may be allotted for the pre—
Vention of soil erosion and for
flood control, Congressman Wall-
gren asked that a meeting of the
flood control committees be. call—
ed to consider Worthy projects.
Presenting his case to the com-
mittee, Mr. Wallgren pointed out
that no fully detailed projects for
the control of floods were now a-
vailable in this district. He add—
ed, howover, that soil erosion
was a major source of loss along
the Nooksack,’ Snohomish, Skagit
and Stillaguamlsh rivers. * To
meet. this situation he asked
'that't‘he committee go on'record
as favoring the allocation of
money among the states rather
than by project-s.
Suggestion Approved ~
His suggestion met with favor-
able comment and it was decid—
ed that all projects would be
given full consideration and the
money allotted by states.
It was Mr. Wallgren’s conten-
tion that, despite the fact that
the War Department has not
recommended it, there is much
needed flood control work which
would prevent lOSS of valuable
[and and at the same time give
employment in this emergency.
He held that if Washington pro-
jects were to wait for full flood
control recommendations from
the .War Department, it would
be impossible to help labor now
when help is so badly needed and
that present low priced materials
could not be utilized.
Following the committee d‘er

Teaching Corps Prepares To Depart As
Summer Vacation Plans Are Announced
Miss Jean Thayer Given
Year’s Leave to Study
At Columbia U.
Teachers of Snohomish public
schools will spend the annual
summer vacation period, begin-
ning next week, in various pur-
suits of additional educational
training, trips and visits to homes
in other sections of the country.
One: instructor, Miss Jean Thayer,
high school language teacher,
will be granted a year’s leave of
absence to enroll at Columbia
University, New York, next fall.

Snohomish and Everett, Miss
Thayer will go to Los Angeles by
boat late in August for a few
days Visit with relatives there

City. On September 25 she. will
begin. her course at Columbia.

of Women, Girls’ Adviser or

She is a, graduate. of the Uni-
'veirsity of Washington and for the
briefs on the needs of control‘
measures on the four rivers in
his district. He now faces the
task of outlining, and estimating
the costs of, definite projects
which could be started soon.
Work Planned Locally
Mr. Wallgren. believes that the
methods of using funds and the
choice of actual projects will lie
largely with local officials. In
making plans these officials
could use federal surveys and
recommendations now available.
The public works bill makes no
definite allottment of funds for
flood control of related measures.
It is not known what amount of
money will be. available. The
Wagoner relief bill, as once. con-
sidered in the senate, allotted
$50,000,000 for flood control
but this provision'was later drop—
ped.
The section. of the present bill
relating to such projects states
that “conservation and develop-
ment of natural resources, in—
cluding control, utilization and
purification of waters, prevention
of soil or coastal erosion, devel-
opment of water power, trans—
mission of electrical energy and
construction of river and harbor
improvements and flood control”
will be so considered.

Bat K Ordered
Back to Barracks
Will Not Be Housed In
Tents at Fort Wor-
den This Year .
Rescinding a previous order
placing Battery K, local Coast
Guard unit, in tents for the a'nnu-
al two weeks encampment at Fort
Worde’n, a supplementary order
was received Wednesday by Cap-
taln. E. R. Hawley, stating that
the Battery would be housed in
barracks as usual for the. two
week's training period. Civilian
Conservation Corps, which have
been occupying the barracks, will
be placed in the tents, instead of
the National defense groups, the
order added.
The. new command nullifys the
letter received from Major Dohm
last Thursday stating that the
re—forestation. army had taken ov-
er all barracks and that Sno-
homish, Aberdeen and Olympia
Batteries would have. to pitch
.tents near their respective guns
for the period. A checkup of
field equipment was ordered and
plans were under way for an
open-air kitchen, guard mount,
and numreous novelties of such
a camp.

essary, however, and the camp
routine is expected to be much
the same as it has been for the
past few years.

a result of victories Sunday over
Granite Falls and“ Sultan and

Tuesday. The scores. were to 5,
13 to 1 and 16 to 12,. respective-
ly.
The Granite Falls encounter
with Lawrence “Maggie” Bryant,
former high school football star
here, virtually running his legs
off to keep Granite in the game.
Bryant, who turned out for the
locals at. the start of the season,
played outfield Sunday, chang-
ing from one field- to_ another
as local batters came up, striving
to outguess them by being where
he thought they would hit.
But his strategy was none too
good, for after chasing all over
the outfield all afternoon, he
only managed to catch one fly.
as Snohomish hitters punched
hits over the infield into wide
open territory left by the shifts
ing tactics.
At bat, Maggie had a big day,
figuring in almost every Granite
run, and tying the score in the
sixth with a home run to right '
field.
Klaus, Granite pitcher, and
Norman Meyers, started, with
.‘the latter giving way to Otto
Rheinford in the» eighth. Granite
went a run ahead in the eighth,
only to have Snohomish tie it
in the last‘half ,and win with
a. ninth, inning rally. The game
was well played, three double
plays being turned in. A good-
sized crowd saw the contest.
Meanwhile at Sultan, the juni-
ors ramped to a 13 to‘ 1 win with
Big Dutch Beifius allowing only
one hit. A home run by Marshall
Gilpin, triples by Mack Price, Blob
West and Belfius featured the at-
tack. Rslph Tronsrud, president
of the Eagles ball club, directed
the squad.
Tuesday’s game started out
with nine runs crossing the plate
in the first inning. manager Ness
used fourteen players during the
game. Mack Price’s triple was
the longest local hit of the day.

Humphries Faces
Charge Of First
Degree Murder
Wife Succumbs Following
- Shooting at Pine
Street Home
Funeral arrangements were be-
ing made today for Mrs. Martha
Elizabeth Humphries, while, her
husband, John Conley Humphries
was being held in the county
jail facing first degree murder
charges, and Paul Heyner and the
9-months old Humphries baby
were recovering in Everett and
Snohomish hospitals from shot-
gun wounds as the result of a,
shooting scrape at the Humphries
home Fourth and Pine St., Sun-
day evening. Humphries will en-
ter his plea to the murder charge
in the county court Saturday.
Following a quarrel after at~
tending the ball game at Sultan,
Humphries according to the story
of the affair, picked up his ten-
gauge shotgun and fired at his
wife. The shot, it was said. pene-
trated her arm and side. Scream-
ing, she dashed from the house
with her baby in her arms, run—
ning down the sidewalk along
Pine St. Humphries followed. She
turned into the Heyner home
next door, and as she was in the
act of entering, the second shot
was fired, passing through her
body.
Hand to Hand Fighting
Heyner hearing the shots, en-
gaged in a. hand to hand combat
with Humphries, swinging power-
fully to his head. During the scuf-
fle, the third shot was fired and
penetrated Heyner’s foot.
Patrolman ‘Jim Wright was
called and made the arrest. Mrs.
Humphries was removed to the
local hospital, where she died
shortly before midnight. The baby
who had received three wounds
from, the shots which killed its
mother, was also taken to the
hospital here. ‘Heyner was re—

Sheriff Faulkner and Deputies

my Prosecutor Mansfield in—
vestigated the case Sunday evv
suing. questioning at longth‘neiv
ghbors and friends of the family.
Many of their questions were de-
voted to determining whether or
not Humphries had been drink-
ing, and. whether or not he had
raised his gun to fire at Heyner
before the latter reached him.
Threatened To Kill Her
It was said that Mrs. Hum-
phries, before she died, had de-
clared that her husband had
threatened to kill her before and
that she had hidden his revolver.
Another clue to the cause. of
the shooting was the statement
by Humphries made to Jim
Wright, who arrested him and to
Don Berry, who drove the car
which brought Humphries to jail
here. Humphries, they said, as:
sorted that someone had been
trying to take his family from
him. He also asked Wright to
“sift! his throat. Later at the
county Jail. he declared his mind
