SMOLDERS 1 HIDES RAIL EARNINGS IN OREGON ARE AIRED IN CASE Southern Pacific Claims It Needs Valley Feeder to Maintain Revenue Shoup Says Company Ready To Match Offer Made By 0. E. System PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 5. (AP) Comparative valuations and earnings of the Southern Pa cific and the Oregon Electric rail way systems in Oregon were air ed today at the interstate com merce commission hearing where the two railroads are fighting tor the right to acquire the Valley A Bllets, a 40 mile lumber line run ning west from Independence to Valsets. Paul Shoup, president of the Southern Pacific, on tbe witness stand said the valuation, of his company's holdings in Oregon was $126,000,000 and the net re turn last year as $927,000. The Spokane, Portland, Seattle, par ent of the Oregon Electric, he said, had a valuation of less than $100,000,000 and the net return last year was $1,754,000. Agrees to Match O. E. Offer For this reason, Shoup said, the Southern Pacific needs the Val ley ft Silets to augment Its rev enue more than does tbe Oregon Electric. Shoup said his company would be willing to pay the $2,000,000 for the Valley & Bileti the Ore gon Electric has agreed to pay and In addition will pay about $600,000, the amount the Oregon Electric would hare to spend for construction of a connecting link. Shoup said further that ship pers on the Valley k Silets will gain more through Southern Pa cific ownership than through any other because of the company's extensive lines and its steamship operations. W. B. Burrls, Southern Pacific auditor, Clarence B. Day, re search engineer, and frank L. Burckhalter, general manager, supported and elaborated Shoup's testimony. All were of the opin ion Joint ownership or Joint op ertion of the Valley ft Siletz would not be so satisfactory as to the railroads or to the shippers as ownership by the Southern Pa cific. T. T. Sullivan, Interstate com merce commission examiner, is conducting the hearing. THREE KILLED US AUTO HITS TRUCK ODESSA, Mo., Sept.

P. Stevens, vice president of Reid Murdoch & Co., gave an account of the model plant just completed by his company in Rochester, Minnesota, 18 months after ground was broken for it. Mr. Stevens was here Friday, with Frank H. Madden of Seattle to pay a visit to the Sa-O lem plant of the Reid Murdoch company. Mr. Madden is the foun der of the food manufacturing business of the company and has been connected with it since 1876.

Here last Friday a world's rec ord for canning was made. Golden bantam corn and golden maize corn were canned at the rate of 1,000 cans per hour of two shifts, each 10 hours in length. This cov ered a space of 24 hours with time taken between shifts to steam clean all parts of the plant involv ed In the canning process. This plant is the largest and most sanitary vegetable canning establishment in America today, according to Mr. Stevens, and it haa been made so because of a dream on the part of the officials of the company to make quality the mark of everything attempted in the name of the company. Great Volumes Of Food Produced In speaking of tbe consumption of the cannery each day, Mr. Stev ens pictured 800 tons of corn each night at the receiving doors of the plant ready for canning. It is Introduced into the plant by me chanical devices and after the ends are removed and the defective ears taken out it Is plunged into a bath of 5000 gallons of water and not touched again by human hands until it comes out In cans ready for labels. It takes about 120 minutes from the time most vectables en ter the cannery until they leave in cans. An approximate average of 70 minutes of this time is spent in steam heat registering 240 de grees. The whole time taken for the raw product to be harvested and placed in cans does not cover over 24 hours.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominicasl Republic, Sept. 5 (AP) Under martial law this capital of the dominican republic, oldest white man's city In the America's, lay in ruins today as the bodies ef almost 1,000 of its citizens, men, women and children, burned on great funeral pyres. And to the north lay death and desolation, the extent of which could not even be guessed, for all means of communication be tween this Caribbean seaport and the Interior were wiped out by the hurricane that whiplashed the island on Wednesday, leaving it as if an earthquake had torn It asunder. In a way the 1,000 dead in the city and the unnumbered dead elsewhere were, at least momea tartly less to be pitied than the living, for their suffering was -at least ended, whereas the plight of the 5,000 injured and the 9e 000 homeless and destitute hour ly was growing more critical. Few Buildings to House Wounded Of the city's 10,000 buildings only 400 were left fn which to house the wounded and the weak, and today hunger began to stalk the littered streets. Relief workers had time only for the living and so, lest the horror of pestilence be added to the city's sorry burden of misfor tune any attempt at burying the dead was abandoned In favor ot mass incineration. And yet, despite the terrifio loss in life and property the damage within the city limits was rtoughly estimated at 220, 000,000 hope flamed strongly in the survivors' hearts and was strengthened by reports that re lief Bhips were on the way with food and medical supplies, doc tors and nurses.

Three divers, Gianni, Berget linl and Francescbl, are reported to have told friends they are finding much difficulty in work ing In the darkness under ter rific water pressure and fear the gold must remain under the sea through another winter. A few days of good weather which will remain until the equinoctial high tides, strong currents and high winds set in will be spent in clearing the top deck so it can be broken through easily to the second deck next spring. The gold lies 20 feet below the top deck In a strong room -on the third deck and blasting is very slow. The three divers have been going down daily 'since the wreck was located August 20 and they say that obscurity, net pressure, is their worst enemy. RECOVERY OF GOLD FOUND TASK and allowing Wilhelm's attorneys to speak ot him as they please. An effort ot the court to per suede both sides to settle the maW ter out of court precipitated other dash. "Our kaiser has been slandered, and nothing but complete recanta tion will satisfy us," thunders Paul Bloch, one of the former kaiser's lawyers. "We want to see those much-ehralded proofs. Mendel's attorneys were equally decisive. They said settlement ot the ease was out ot the question, asserting they would establish the) truth of the newspaper's charges : unless the ease was thrown out ef court. - - v The case ended, however, with out the Morgenpost being allow ed to present the "much heralded proofs." The court ruled it was lm-7 possible to determine-what the conditions were daring the pre-war and war days referred to in the of-' fending Morgenpost article. The "proofs, consequently; were sot admitted as evidence. " i . ' L-
