ABOUT BY ONLOOKER
DETROIT. July 21. (AP)
Ridine a lash in tr wind, rain and
hail storm, the 13 planes of. the
National Air Tour landed safely
at the Ford airport here t late to
day, completing a good-will voy
age which took them to 25 cities
In 15 states, with a total distance
of 4169 miles covered during the
trip.
Eddie Stinson, k piloting a Stin-son-Detroiter
monoplane, was an
nounced winner of the first prize
of $2,500 and the Edsel Ford tro
phy following a check up of the
points made during the long
flight. Stinson maintained a
comfortable lead throughout t he
trip. A slight accident at Grand
RaDids this afternoon threatened
to throw him into ' second place,
but he made temporary repairs
and flew through the severe storm
to win first prize.
Several thousand people gath
ered at the airport to witness the
close of jthe tour, waited with ap
prehension when the heavy storm
clouds rolled out of the northwest",
directly In the course of the ap
proaching fliers.
Each plane, tossed In the heavy
winds, maneuvered carefully for a
landing. There were no accidents
although the Stinson plane skid
ded dangerously on one wing as It
struck the landing field.
ROSEBURG, Ore., July 11.-
( AP) Retribution winged a swift
course today and overtook Harold
Hampton of Yoncalla, who is now
in jail.
Arrested on a charge of assault
and battery, after heiad attacked
his wife, Hampton -appeared, in
court in a torn, bruised and bat
tered condition. His personal ap
pearance was the result of the ef
forts of a third party who arrived
on the scene as Hampton was well
started on his ill-advised attempt
at righting a fancied wrong.
, Hampton, who recently filed a
talt of divorce, went to .the house
where his wife was staying, called
her outside, seised her and began
to choke ana beat her. A passer
by, Homer Kruse, came to the
rescue, and. made the most of th
situation. .
Today, nursing hia swollen, dis
colored features, Hampton was
fined 150 and went to jail when
he failed to pay the fine.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 12. (A
P) Two California cities were
stirred Into unprecedented wild
enthusiason today because their
hero airmen, first over the Pacific
to Hawaii, had returned to them. '.
Officials of San Francisco were
unanimous in -the declaration that
never, at least as tar back as they
could recall, had their cities shown!
such enthusiasm or made more)
noise than over today's return of

Long before she appeared the en
trance of the bay was dotted with!
reception bonta, tugs decorated
with varied colored . signal flags'
and overhead droned formation
of army planes circling about.
Lieutenants Maitland and Heg-
enberger met their wires at the
pier. At the foot of the gangway

that the parley is not confined te
United States and Great -Britain.
: This may bave been partly the
fault of the Japanese themselves,
for In American circles at least
there had been some apparent un
certainty as to Just how far Japan
would gb in Insisting upon keep
ing the. cruiser tonnage down to
America's original? minimum of
260,000 tons each; fox the United
States and Great Britain.
J The second possibility is that
once this bilateral treaty wag sign
ed. Japan and the United States
might proceed to negotiating be
tween themselves a special treaty
establishin ; a ratio in the strength
of cruisers , destroyers and sub
marines. The Japanese would have noth
ing to say about this econd hy
pothesis. There exists, however,
a distinct relation between these
two possibilities. It comes about
this way: The Japanese feel that
If the tripartite conference falls
as a three cornered parley and the
United States and Great Britain
Bigned a bilateral accord estab
lishing parity between the Anglo
Saxon powers in all types of war
ships, it would be a fair assump
tion that the United States would
not build to the British strength,
notably in cruisers.
Should this assumption prove
to be true, it is argued that Japan
could make a special treaty with
the United States which would not
entail increased Japanese construction.

1927 CROPS SHOWN
t
Report of 500 Reporters In
dicates Improved Condi
tions in Oregon
PORTLAND, Ore.. July 12.
(AP) Increased acreage of Ore
gon's principal props for 1927. as
compared with 1926. and marked
improvement In condition during
the month of June this year, -are
indicated by the combined opin
ions of some 500 crop -reporters in
a .report issued late today by F. 1..
Kent, Oregon statistician for the
United States department of agri
culture. ,
The Pacific northwest total
wheat crop is now estimated at
104,054,000 bushels, of which
Washington will have 32.794.000
bushels of winter wheat, and 17,
104,000 bushels of spring wheat.
Oregon will produce 21. 168,0(50
of winter wheat this year, the re
port "states, from a total of 900,-
000 acres. The spring wheat es-
tlmateor Oregon is 2.870.000
bushels from 155,000 acres.
Wheat Estimate Higher
' While the winter wheat est!
mate is considerably higher than
the five year average, the spring
wheat crop will be much less, re
ports indicate. The five-year av
erage for winter wheat is 15,-
180,800, and for spring wheat,
4.595,000.
.Approximately 10,896,000 bush
els of oats will be produced in this
state in 1927, the crop report1 ay
taking the estimate' of 310,000
acres. The! ffve-year average is
8,861,000 forC67,20Qf acres indi
cating an increase in acreage a
well as. in yield.
The corn crop for the state, too,
shows an increase in production
and acreage. From 85.000 acres,
approximately 2,499.000 bushels
will be taken, an increase of about
889,000 bushels over the last five
years. The barley crop is esti
mated at 3.058,000 or 654,000
bushels more than the average
five-year yieldj The rye produc-.
tion will be 143.000 bushels, a de
crease of 20,400 bushels.
Many Potatoes
More than 1.210,000 bushels of
potatoes will be produced in Ore
gon in 1927 than was produced
in the last five years as an aver-:
age, the department of agricul
ture report shows. The estimated
yield from 52,000 acres is 5,491, -000,
compared with a yield of 4,
280,000 bushels frjm 43,600
acres. x
The tame hay crop shows slight
increase in tonnage although the
acreage has been decreased. Ap
proximately 2,002,000 tons will be
produced from 898,000 acres of
land, it is believed. The five-year
average - Is ;.1,936,400 , tons ; from
959.0 0 0 'acres. V " -.
" The fruit crops show a general
decline In: yield. More than; 4,
600,000 bushels of apples will be
produced., however.' , although it
does .not touch the yield of 6,'
573,400 as a five-year average.
More ! than 1,128.000 bushels of
pears will be picked in Oregon this
year. , The average is 1,308,200.
Peach production took a heavy
slump, with only 139.000 bushels
estimated for this year. The aver
age for five years is 319,000.
r Hop Yield Heavy t
: A considerable Increase In hop
production, both in yield and in
acreage is Been from the report
The yield is estimated at 16,200;
000 for 1927, and the acreage at
15,000. This represents an In
crease of 4,082.200 pounds, and
.600 acres over average.
In commenting on the fruit sit
uation, the report says:
; "The heavy carry-over of can
ned and barreled fruit . from , last
season's crop, particularly of all
berries, has caused a light demand
for the 1927 crop. This Is par
ticularly true of raspberries which
have been contracted this year at
about 65 per cent of the price to
grower for the 1926 crop. Con
siderable loss resulted tb the
strawberry crop from rapid delay
ed ripening which caused heavy
congestion of the barreling plants
and cold storage facilities.
"Loganberries are selling at
about the same price as last year,
but the crop will probably be less'
than half that of last season. The
soil Is In fine condition as to mois
ture and the size of the logan and
raspberry harvest, which is now in
full swing, promises to hold up
well throughout the season.
, f'Vtoplef j and -pear prospects
throughout the 1 United States
shows, declines of 10 and 7 per
centi'rjelpectively." C
Girls ln; Breslau,, Germany, who
have their hair bobbed must pay
one mark per month as a special
tax Into the -city, treasury. And
of course this is in addition to. the
tariff to the barber.
