"Seattle's Effort to Get Yak
ima Valley fcrop Fails.
BIG OPERATORS OPPOSED
Port Facilities Here Deemed Ade
quate and Treatment Accorded
Growers Makes Friends.
THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 1SJ 1922
OF WOOL
Both confidential and general re
ports in the Yakima valley indicate
that the proposal to install at'Seattle
facilities with, which to capture wool
shipments from eastern Washington
Chat have Heretofore come to- Port
land, has fallen, through for lack of j
support by the shippers themselves.
The big operators of the stat op
posed! it, though not openly, at the
annual convention of tihe Washing
ton Woolgrowers' association early in
January, according to George N. An
gell of the Oregon, Farmer, this city, i
who has Just returned from a week's
business trip to tha Yakima valley,
and says that the matter Is regarded
there as closed. j
"When the Seattle chamber of com
merce invaded the annual convention
with promises of warehouse facili
ties equal to those in Portland if the
wool men would send their product to
the sound," Mr. Angell said, "the
change was opposed instantly by
Frank M. Bothrock of Spokane and
other large shippers who but for pol
icy's sake would have taken the floor
and put the convention on record
against It
Large Operators Object.
"They were persuaded1 not to do so,
however, and in lieu of positive ac
tion a committee was appointed head
ed by H. S. Coffin and authorized to
go to Seattle and investigate the
proposition. Objection of the large
operators continued to be felt; tine
committee has taken no action; and
it is likely that most of the valley's
2,000,000 pounds of wool will be
shipped to Portland as usual.
"Mr. Coffin himself does not favor
any change unless the sound city of
fers much greater inducements than
it has done bo far. He is well pleased
with the treatment he has received
here and was much impressed with
the future of this port as outlined by
Manager R. A. Ward of the Pacific
Woolgrowers at the convention in
Yakima. In fact, Mr. Ward made a
hit with the Washington sheepmen,
and undoubtedly helped save this
business for Portland.
1822 Crop May Be Short.
"The annual crop of wool from
" Yakima may be a little short this sea
son, due to the financial inability of
sheepmen to replace the ewes lost by
natural causes and from extreme age.
However, the winter has been a
splendid one for feeding and both the
wooj, and the lamb crops are expect
ed to be high-class. Early lambs are
already arriving and will continue to
come until March 15. The range crop
will bring the total to about 200,000.
"Shearing will begin March 1 at a
fixed price of 10 cents and with the
last of the 1920 and 1921 crops dis
posed of only last week at 20 to 22
cents per pound, and with 25 to 30
cerata In sight for the new crop, wool
men of Yakima are more optimistic
than they have been for several
years." ,

InTestigatprs Think John Keller of
Powell Valley Road Holds Key
to Identity o Assailant.
Considerable mystery surrounds an
attempt to murder John Keller, aged
53 years, in his home at Powell valley
road and Laurel avenue at an early
hour yesterday morning. Investi
gators believe that the key to the
mystery is held by Keller, who in
sists, however, that he has no idea
of the identity of his assailant.
Residents in the neisrhborhood of
the Keller home were aroused shortly
after 2 o'clook yesterday morning by
the motor of 'an automobile, which
passed up and down the road several
times without showing a light. Their
attention was attracted through fear
of chicken thieves.
It was about 3:45 that Keller said
he was aroused by a steady rapping
on the back door of his home. He
went into th kitchen, according to
his story, and reached for the electric
light bulb hanging from a cord over
the sink. The light flashed before
the connection was fully established
and as it did so there was the report
of a revolver, simultaneous with the
crash of glass as the bullet sped
through the glass upper half of the
back door. The lead pellet passed
within a hair's breadth of Keller's
forehead and burled itself in the
kitchen wall. Keller dropped to the
floor, there was the sound of run
ning feet, then silence.
Deputy Sheriffs Christofferson,
Schlrmer and Bailey instigated the
report of the attempted assassination,
telephoned to the sheriff's office by
a son of Keller. They found no
definite 4ew.

Found on Her Companion When

BY: GRANT GORDON.
Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonian.)

One of the greatest- scandals of the
German occupation in France is re
called by the finding of the crown
prince's watch on the person of a
certain Bosano, picked up drunk the
other night in a Mont Marts cafe.
When the German general staff
was at Lille the crown prince took a
fancy to 17-year-old Gabrielle Beur
rier, described as a shy young thing.
The German staff, finding .that Ga
brielle was keeping the royal per
sonage from his military duties, had
her abducted. g.
After the war Gabrielle felrin with
Bosano. She willingly showed souve
nirs given her by the prince to all
who were curious enough to ask.
The watch was the prize of the col
lection. But gradually Gabrielle found her
self more and more the object of
scorn, so she sent Bosano to Paris
to sell 'the watch and other trinkets,
hoping to realize enough to enable
herself and Bosano to escape to an
other place and startlife afresh.
Unfortunately for Gabrielle's sensi
bilities, Bosano drank too much cog
nac and the past, instead of being
buried, was dragged out Into the cold
white light of a front-page news
paper stery. -
