If CORPSES ARE RECOVERED Collapse of Trestle Caused by Sudden Flood Brought on by Cloudburst 9 IRK MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., July 18. (AP) In consequence of its breaking off all relations with the Chinese nationalist government, the Soviet government today sus pended all railroad and stearsship communication with China. "Traffic experts here tonight be-, lieved that Russia and China would suffer equally in loss of trade, pa?s4nger traffic and other ad vantages, but it was expected that Japan would reap considerable profit as the result of the rupture. Most international merchandise for he Chinese, market is likely to ko through Japanese ports in stead of over the Chinese eastern railway lines through Marichuria. Today's newspapers strongly condemn the Chinese reply to tho first! Soviet note, regarding it as evidence4 that the Chinese govern ment "intends to continue its pro vocative policy toward the U. S.

But pears will come to that plant very soon after August 1, and ever green blackberries will not be very far behind, and the big 13th street plant of that Del Monte con cern will begin on a long and large run of beans the first of the month. The Hunt plant is going on lo ganberries and red and black raspberries and cherries yet, but the end of its cherry run will come by the middle to the end of next week, and perhaps loganberries will be finished before the first of August, it not sooner. Then there will be something of a hi atus at that plant, till pears come, and exverreen blackberries fol low, if they do not begin to arrive with the pears which are expect ed to arrive in canning volume by the 15th of August. At the Other Plants The Paulus plant is going on the usual lines, and will take on pears and evergreen blackberries when they are ready. In fact, all the canneries here are expected to use some evergreens, and some of them are contracting for sup plies of these berries now. The indications are that the tonnage of evergreens available will be large, including the "wild" ber ries, but it is scarcely to be ex pected that all these berries of fered can be used. If they could, they would make up a good many thousands of cases. The Paulus plant will of course take up prunes, with all the rest, when they are ready, and most of the Salem plants will use apples. The Paulus plant will can a lot of beets and carrots this year, which will prolong the season in that plant till or after the close of the year. Hence the statement as to ; some packing all the rest of 1929. tveTcn cars juacks The Salem CTTeTTj! Growers as sociation, at the plant of the Pa cific Fruit & Produce company, has been very busy on Lambert cherries the past few days, under the direction of O. j E. Brooks, manager of the pool. Seven cars of black cherries have been rolled from that plant up to date, and it is expected that three more will got in the next (Continued from Pase 1.) The car, submerged throughout the entire day on the bed of the creek, was not entered until late tonight the high water having made entrance earlier impossible. Of the bodies recovered, partial identification has been made so far of six of the victims. Those Identified are: Mrs. Mary McDonald of West Palm Beach, Fla., enroute to Col orado Springs!

The swirling torrent of water, carrying, death and destruction in its wake, completely submerged car No. 200 of the crack train throughdut the greater part of the day; and it was nearly an hour after the wreck, according to survivors in the other coaches, before it definitely was establish ed that one car of the train ac tually was missing. With the collapse of the bridge less than 50 feet in length over the arroyo, eight cars, seven Pullmans and a chair car, left the track and were strewn over the countryside. Two of the Pull mans those at either end of the submerged death car were left suspended from the track banks, partially submerged. Occupants of these two cars, as soon as they realized what had occurred, made their way to safety' from the free ends of the cars. Xearly All Of Passengers Awake Many of the passengers on the train, according to survivors brought here, were awake at the time of the wreck. Many of them had been awakened but a few minutes before by the taking of a siding a few miles east of Stratton to permit the passing of the companion eastbound train. Railroad officials estimated to night that the eastbound train had crossed the weakened struc ture over the arroyo less than 45 minutes prior to the collapse. The train, according to surviv ors, was traveling about 45 miles an hour at the time of the crash. No warning of impending danger had been received by anyone and railroad officials today announc ed that the crash was the first warning they had received of a wet roadbed.

Fred Williams, he stated Thurs day. 4 Mountain Supply To Be Needed Soon Efforts of the city to retain rights to this water are based upon a belief that within a few years, a mountain source of water supply will be demanded, and good policy recommends that the city should attempt to hold any rights that it may have. The claim was made that the' power company'! filings were re corded before the city's but against this claim even if true, is the general tendency to give preference to domestic use "over all other uses. Benefit To Salem Cited As Argument It was argued in support of the company's efforts to have the city's protest withdrawn, that Salem would profit greatly from the es tablishment ot a power plant In the North Santiam area, for the reason that it would facilitate the program for extension of the Mln to pass highway from Detroit. A proposal was made that the city abandon its claims to any part of the natural flow "of these wa ters, in exchange for a promise that t would receive rights to an adequate supply of stored water in aTeservoir which the power eompany proposed to build. This proposal came to naught after a special committee of the city coun cil had been appointed to investi gate its feasibility. Jailed.

M IDENTIFIED PEKING. China. July 18. ( B) Foreign ' diplomats here were inclined tonight not to take a very serious view of the Manchur ion situation despite severance of diplomatic relations between Rus sia and China. They believed that it is even yet quite possible an armed conflict can be avoided and thought the question probably would be dis cussed internationally, especially it trans-Siberian traffic on the Chi nese Eastern railway should be suspended for tfome time or if the Chinese should be unable to main tain peace and order in Manchuria.
