Judge Walker dismissed the jury while the attorneys argued this point, and later overruled the ob jection and permitted the use of the application as a state's ex hibit In ruling on the matter, Judge Walker cited the case of State ts. , Gerrltson and an opin ion written by Judge O. P. Cosh- or to, the effect that the state supreme court had found the Blue Sky law constitutional and that the U. S. supreme court had at firmed t this. It was also stated that Jay Stockman", another of the defendants In the Empire case had represented the state In the Gerrltson case. , Former Salesman Of Company Talks ' J. C. Roblson of Portland, brother of George Roblson the first state witness, waa being cross-examined . when the court adjourned. Frank Lonergan will resume the cross-examination to morrow . morning. Mr. Roblson told of his work as a salesman for the Empire corporation and of the talks he had with . Frank Keller about the method of making sales and points to be stressed in the sales talks. His testimony 'about where the money was to be placed for safe keeping and the subscrip tions : of - the principal officers merely substantiated that of the tner witnesses. He said that he once heard Keller aay that he and Judge- Coshow were the only , of ficers who had paid anything for their stock. Keller waa said to hare paid 16000 and Coshow, $3- 000. v Roblson stated that he had sold nearly 800 shares of Empire stock 'and had received $3600 in com ' missions although tne company still owed him some money. His ales amounted to about $80,000. In regard to the sale of "West erner stock, Roblson said that be had been told by Keller and W. R. Adams that the ; Empire people wanted ' to get control of the "Westerner as an adtertlslng medium and that later the -West erner" stock could .be turned in . . for Empire stock on a two for one basis. At the 'request of Keller, :. who said he needed aome money, Roblson - made hla first sale of "Westerner stock to 8. G. Nel- aoa of Portland. Kelson bought 40 ahares and Roblson received $200 commission for this sale. Keller . suggested that Nelson sign a let ter to a man in Salt Lake City asking to bay 'the 40 shares of stock and after Roblson attended to this the letter was turned over to W. R. Adams. Roblson stated that he did not ,know whether the ; letter was mailed or not. Later, he said, Keller asked who the letter was addressed to and when he found that Roblson had addressed it to the wrong man, Keller said that It did not mat ter because the letter was just to protect himself and - Dr. ' Adams, ; Roblson stated that . he sub scribed for $20,000 worth of Em pire stock and had given a 80 day note for $5000 and another - note for $18,000. Neither of these has been paid. Admits Sale After Permita - Snspcmded Under cross-examination by Frank Lonergan, Roblson Samit ted that he sold 20 shares of Em pire stock to Frank Barber after the corporation's permit to sell stock had bees suspended.

This observer argues thus: "Some of the big packers quot ing out barrelled strawberries freely at five cents may be all right in the face of present crop conditions and the depressed mar kets. But to quote future sales right now at this price as freely as packers are doing now might In the end prove too bad for the packers themselves should the crop fall short of expectations.1 While the strawberry acreage is estimated at 12 per cent greater than last year, and while moisure conditions are excellent, there is not yet assurance that the erop will be a bumper one, or even heavy. The almost constant, rain has kept strawberry growers from the fields, and as a result weeds and crass have a prolific start in many of the berry fields. With 1 such ajead on the grower, weeds n-t r narf Tiarm anffU I and grass may exert harm suffi cient to offset the excellent mois ture conditions. ' .
