The total damage is estimated at nearly $1000. The wind came during: a heavy hall storm and it is believed to have leen somewhat of a twisting" wind. It was not like a cyclone in that it did not sweep through a certain path, but damage was suffered at various I'oints. The wind blew northeasterly . through Shelburn and most of the damage occured in or near the town, which is situated 18 miles northeast nt Albany and is the junction of the "Woodbudn-Oakridge and Albany-Detroit branches of the Southern Pa cific. Prane Dryer In Wrecked. The prune dryer of W. P. Chilcote Teas completely wrecked. The wind blew the building down, and as three furnaces were In operation the debris caught fire. The flames were soon extinguished. The men working "When the building fell escaped with out injury. The prunes which had been dried were saved from the wreck, but considerable green fruit was damaged. The Catholio church "was torn Tartly from its foundation, but it Is believed it Is not seriously damaged. A silo belonging to J. W. Miller, former county clerk of Linn county, was blown down. Five windows in the residence of I.afe Osborn were smashed and the "hiicote barn near the wrecked prune dryer was damaged. Krnlt Trees Uprooted. Apple, prune and plum trees In va rious orchards were uprooted and the wind and bail which accompanied it damaged considerable fruit. Not far from Shelburn some large trees were blown down, the strength of the wind being a record-breaker in this part of the state, where high winds of any kind are umisual. All sections of Linn county experi enced a storm, but except at Shel burn tha wind did no damage except to blow off fruit in some sections and to put some rural phone lines out of commission. At Scio, three miles distant from Fhclburn. there was a particularly heavy hail storm. Albany experienced a heavy rainfall and electrical storm, but there was not much wind. MIES EASE HUMS UW WTArOXS IX RHI.VEMXD MUST UK I. IV EX CP BY NOV. 1. Germans "Will Escape Punishment; Thousands of Rifles Said to ' Have Been Hidden. COBLEXZ. Oct. 5. Tha inter-allied bigh commission today decided to ellow Immunity from the strict laws cf the army of occupation prohibit ing Germans in the Rhineland from bavins unlicensed weapons. This de cision was taken in order to assist in the enforcement of the recent Ger man law for disarmament under the pa agreement. The decision permits Germans in the occupied area to surrender hidden Arms and ammunition up to Novem ber 1, without being punished for having the arms in violation of the bigh commission's and army's orders. The allied officials admit that not withstanding the severe punishment threatened against Germans in the Ithlneland since the beginning of the occupation for holding weapons, thousands of rifles and other arms bave been concealed by Germans living in the bridgehead zones. , The German officials had made rep resentations that they were unable to carry out the disarmament law in the Rhineland because of the fear of individuals that they would be punished by the allies when they brought out hidden rifles to collect the premiums offered for their sur render. Hence, the allies and Ameri cans decided to waive their own rule until November 1. CAMP SITE IS PROTESTED tALAMEDA PRESENTS PETI TIONS TO MAYOR BARER. More Than 2 00 Residents Voice Disapproval of Choice of Kamm Estate by Pier. Strenuous protest by residents of the Alameda district against estab lishment of an automobile camp site there is voiced in petitions filed with ilayor Baker yesterday. More than 200 names of residents cf the district are contained in the petitions. Several weeks ago City Commissioner Pier, in charge of the park bureau, announced intention of entering into & lease with th Kamm estate for property located at Thir tieth and Mason streets. As quickly as the announcement was made public, a meeting of the Alameda Community club was called end it was determined that petitions be placed into circulation for the purpose of obtaining the sentiment of the district. The petitions state that the Ala meda distrfct is solely residential, a juiet. refined district, composed of home loving people, who thus far have been saved the intrusion of anything objectionable. A public automobile park, it is contended, would let down the barriers which thus far served as & protection to the people of the dis trict. No official action has yet been taken by the council towards the ac quisition of the properly. Commis sioner Pier not yet having presented bis recommendations. Mayor Baker, however, announced yesterday that PROP RTY we he would present the protests to the city council at the next regular meet ing. ' It is probable that the petitions -will be referred to Commissioner Pier and it is probable that another site will be selected, rather than impose the automobile site upon a district which voices so strenuous a protest. A movement is on foot among- the residents of the Alameda district to have the city acquire the Kamm tract to be used as a playground for the district, according to Mrs. J. Weston Hall, president of the Alameda Com munity club. COTTOK GINS POLICED THREATS RECEIVED BY OWN ERS OF GEORGIA MILLS. Farmers Regard Prices Below Cost or Production and Mills Are Ordered to Close.

Musty archives of the secret service contain a record of the species and the case is marker "closed." The coins were made in Maine and came to the notice of the treasury department when a scion of a wealthy familv took a quantity from a safety deposit vault containing heirlooms and "shoved" them. All known speci mens were confiscated by the secret service and it wa not until today that it became known that others were still in circulation.

Talk of Probable Embargo on Im ports From Canada Stimulates Buying Setbacks Are Brief. CHICAGO, Oct. 6. Violent upturns In the price of wheat today accompanied discussion regarding possibility or an em bargo on Imports from Canada. The mar ket closed strong, SfelOUu net higher, with December $1.99 4s to $1.9'J and March $1.97V to $1.U7H. Corn gained 2 to olsc and oats 1 Hi to 19c. In provisions, the outcome varied from 40 cents decline to 45c advance. Buying on a huge scale made wheat .lump as soon as trading began. Most of the Purchasing was ascribed to shorts. Notable reactions took piwee at every lull in the bidding, but the setbacks as a rule were brief and the finish was near the topmost point reached. Corn and oats sympathized with wheat strength. Rural offerings were small and farmers' organizations were reported as having advised that all grains be held back. - Kxport demand for lard tended to make provisions average higher. The Chicago market letter received yei terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: Wheat The advantage was with holders throughout the session and although sharp setbacks were numerous, the ten dency was higher and the market charac terized by tremendous short covering. There were many new items contributing to the advance all more or lets foreign to the wheat situation Itself, but sufficient, nevertheless, to cause uneasiness among shorts. The protest registered by Gov ernor Allen, of Kansas, against the recent decline in prices and suggesting that an embargo be placed on Canadian Importa tions stood out as the dominant Influence notwithstanding that the adoption of such an act Is' highly imbrobable. Farmers' organizations are urging that -wheat be held off the market and 'their members are making every effort to do so until a higher price can be secured. Export news was somewhat conflicting, but in the main suggested a falling off In the demand. The northwest reported an increase In offer ings of wheat from Canada. We consider the news and the outlook In favor of lower prices, but at the moment the tech nical position is strong and with hedging pressure absent we look for a further upturn. Corn The strength In wheat was the dominant factor influencing a short cov ering movement in this market. Aside from a slight falling off In receipts, there was little in the way of news to stimulate confidence. The majority of the trade Is looking for a smaller movement because of the reduced prices and it is not Im probable that this idea is correct, but the fact that the commercial demand is down to a minimum cannot be overlooked. Cash prices today were slightly higher with the futures, but the premium over Decem ber was reduced to about one cent. Oats This market was an uninteresting affair with fluctuations governed by the sction of other grains. Selling on the bulges by cash interests was the feature. The cash market was slightly higher with futures, but as tn com ths tone was easy and the spot basis' lower.- Provisions Ruled stronr and higher with snort covering the feature. Influenced by advance in grain and the upturn of 20c in hog prices. Wi see evidence of an improved demand for lard which should be reflected In a further advance.
