Many Tourists
Stop in City
In spite of the fact that this is
November and snow is tipping Ihe
high mountains of the coast range,
the auto camp grounds still attract
a large number of automobile tour
ists who brave the elements and
pitch their tents regardless of the
cold nights. An average of ten tour
ist parties spend the night at the
camp grounds, according to Jack
Horner, who has charge of the
grounds. Most of these tourists are
families working from place to
Place. They find work In a locality
nnd remain there for a few weeks
and then go on to another stop. Most
of tbese are working into California
for the winter. There are also a few
families who have lingered too long
In their pleasure seeking and are
now making a belated dash for home.
There are also a few who are on
their way through to California for

TURKEY MARKET REPORTED
STRONGER AND INDICATIONS
POINT TO VERY GOOD PRICE
Expectations Are That Price Will Open tit About 41 Cents and
Will Increase as Competition Grows Local And
Outside Buyers Are in the Field.
MARKET STRONGER
Market quotations on turk-
eys today Indicated that .the
market Is gradually becoming
stronger, leading to the opinion
that the price for Doullas coun-
-w iy turaeys will be quite good,
Dressed turkeys wero quoted on
the San Francisco mnrket at 35
U to 45 centand live birds at 35 I
and 40 Portland dressed
cents and live birds at 32 cents.
Portland reports stated that the
market Is Ereadler and that the
demand is increasing. A num-
( her of the smaller markets of
Portland are anxious to secure
turkeys.
I Friday and Saturday, November 18
nnd 19. have been . designated as
"Turkey days," and Roseburg will
present a very busy appearance on
those days. In spite of the fact that
the crop is below normnl, there will
be many thousand birds brought In
to the city and some 'n rompetl
tioti Is expected. As usual there are
the early rumors, flurries, etc., but
nothing definite regarding the mar
ket. Locally conditions appear quite
normal with Indications of heavy
l)UynK a9 u9uaI. Severai iCnl cash
buyers are arriving and preparing to
to. enter Into the compc.tltln'i. Thy
Kami Bureau pool is as yt ui known
quantity, but from general indica
tions, the pool will catch a majority
of the Thanksgiving birds.
The price is as yet a matter of
guesswork and Is variously estimat
ed at from 35 to 45 cents. It may
possibly exceed 4 5 cents, to the grow
er, but this is quite doubtful under
the present mnrkot conditions. Gen
eral opinion seems to be that the
market will open at about 40 cents
and will increase gradually.
The turkey markot Is short and
this Is expected to affect the price
for the benefit of the grower. Turk
eys are scarce throughout the east
as well as along the coast and conse
quently there is little danger of the
coast market being flooded with east
ern turkeys. A recent turkey re
port from various turkey raising
states, shows the crop to be short In
Texas, Kansas. Oklahoma. Arkans
as. Iowa. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky.
Ohio, Mississippi and Alabama.
The states of Missouri. Michigan,
fnnoBOta. Wisconsin and the Dako-
tns. report the turkey crop to be
nearly normal, while the eastern
states report an average crop.
This shows that the states men
tioned will not have more than
enough turkeys to supply their local
lemand. It Is then up to the coast
stntes to sunplv the const trade ann
consequently with a short crop along
the roast, the price Is expected to nc
fairly good.
According to market renorts gath
ered from various sections, however.
there Is a general stagnation In tne
turkey marital at this time, although
this condition tuny chnnKe upon the
npproach of Thanksclvlng and the
demand for turkeys begins.
Growers are putting little credence
In the reports of heavy shipments
from Australia. South America and
other points. The same reports an-
received year after year, ust neiore
buying time and consequently they
are taken merely as n crv of "wolf."
general survey of conditions points
to a normal yeir, and although there
may bo a decline of a few cents In
comparison with the price of last
vear. even this is doubt Till.
Yesterday's quotations on the
Portland market, quoted dresseu
tnrks selling at 3 and 40 cents, with
live turkeys t 30 snd 3 5 rents. A
year ago at the same time, dressed
turkeys were selling at 45 nnd 4S
rent, nnd live turkevs nt 35 rents

I II
tcmporary stagnation which will bs
relieved as soon as the birds are
placed on the market in large quan
tities. Some persons are claiming that In
dividual financial conditions are
such this year, that families former
ly In the habit of buying turkeys will
not bo able to provide themselves
with this luxury this year. On the
other hand it Is claimed that the crop
Is short and that this shortage will
take care of those who are unable to
buy and that there will be sufficient
buyers for all of the birds placed on
the market
As usual buyers are loath to make
any statements regarding their
prices. It Is understood, however,
that the recent contract taken by a
San Francisco firm with the govern
ment for the delivery of 10,000
pounds ot turkey to the quartermas
ter at Portland is to be taken as a
foundation. This contract, It Is un
derstood, was taken at 44.9 cents
per pound on top birds. Allowing
the wholesaler 3 cents for expenses
and 1 cent for profit, would leave
40.0 cents or practically 41 cents.
This It Is expected will be accepted
as the opening price. As competi
tion Increases and buying becomes
stronger, the price will undoubtedly
Increase and It is believed will reach
at least 45 cents and may possibly
go stronger.
Ceorge Kohlhagen, The Peoples
Supply company, RoBeburg Produce
Co., and Louis Kohlhagen, have all
announced that they will be local
cash buyers again this year. For
mnny years each of these firms have
handled much of the local turkey
crop and expect to be In the field
again this year. O. J. Lindsay, of
Everybody's Exchange, Is as yet un
decided as to whether or not he will
be In the market for birds this year.
Thero will be several outside com
panies represented. The Pacific
Meat and Pncklng company, which
has been In the local field for several
vonrs will bo represented ngnin hy
1 W. Ringer. Mrs. Mnrle Gethlng,
of Onkland. California, will be in
nnklnnd, Orecon. buying turkeys for
a group of San , Frnnclsco markets.
Mrs. Gethlng Is a former resident of
Oakland nnd has relatives residing
there. Mr. Eason Is here from Seat
tle, representing the Jim Henry eoni
panv and will buy locally and at Oak
land. The pool which Is being formed by
the Douglas County Farm Bureau
Exchange, la expected to take a large
share of the birds. The exchange
will be represented bv C. E. Banning
nt Roseburg. T. M. Tnmllson. Myrtle
Creek: D. H. Lamb, Yonrnlla: Riley
Mornlngstnr. Drain: H. E. Kruger,

The pool Inst year covered only a
tninll por'lon of the county but this
vear will reach all trukey raising
confers There mav be other buyers
In the field but they have not yet
officially announced themselves.
It Is expected that there will be
about 65 per cent of the usual num
ber of birds pl.Tfcn on ine mm -..
