FIRST CANNERY
SEASON STARTS
Reid-Murdock Leads off by
Packing Gooseberries;
Others Preparing
Good Year Except for Light
Crops of Strawberries
And Prunes, View
First operations on the spring
fruit crop sot under way locally
late yesterday when Reid-Murdock
cannery started packing
gooseberries. Later this week,
probably Wednesday, Producers'
Co-op will handle the compara
tively small tonnage represented
by Us growers, and Starr Fruit
Products will start a short run
for another cannery.
The first of next week the "West
Salem cannery and Hunt Brothers
will stait canning of gooseberries
for short runs, and Stexr cannery
will begin Its own gooseberry
pack.
Aside from loss of the Etter
burg strawberry pack and prob
able light prune crop, canneries
seem to be entering the new sea
son with some optimism. Carry
OTer is the lowest in several sea
sons, which add material bright
ening to the production for this
year. Wages so far are some
question, but local canneries will
work on the basis determined by
the welfare commission.
Oregon Strawberry
Crop Starts Coining
First local strawberries were in
the stores yesterday, but suffi
cient quantities of Marshalls for
barrelling -will not be ripe until
another 10 days or two weeks.
Because of shortage of berries
dne to the freeze-out, the straw
berry market has made heavy ad
vances in the last 10 days, with
the top price reached Saturday
when the Sublimity 400-acrepool
-sold at cents. Five bidders
sought this pool, and it is report
ed, bidding was exceptionally
keen. " - -
Black raspberry crop this year
will be heavy, according to re
ports from the canneries. Cleary
and Hillman, which last year
made a record pack considering
the "youth" and size of the can
nery, plans to make a heavy pack
of black caps, and also to handle
Ted raspberries and loganberries.
No prices on open market purch
ases of any of the berries, except
strawberries, are being talked.
Cherry Crop Likely
To Be Heavy Here
The cherry crop looks excellent
so far. and it is probably a large
quantity will be both barrelled
and canned in all the local plants.
No price on cherries is being talk
ed yet. The prune crop is pretty
well damaged, according to pres
ent indications, though a few
growers say they will have a good
crop.
With cherry prospects excel
lent, both the Salem Cherry
Growers association, of which
O. E. Brooks is president, and the
Willamette Cherry association, of
which Robert Shinn is manager,
expect to handle a large quantity.
The Salem Cherry Growers as
sociation is constructing a new 50
by 200 foot warehouse along the
tracks at Locust and Laurel in
preparation for a big season. Last
year 19 cars of black cherries
were shipped as fresh fruit to the
eastern market, and this year that
number will probably be bettered.
Construction on the new plant
will be completed in another 10
days or so. It Is estimated that
the first cherries will be handled
. July 1.
Mr. Brooks reports that the as
sociation will enlarge its activities
in the spring of 1934, and will
barrel strawberries, as well as en
tering the barreling field with
cherries. So far, only black cher
ries for fresh equipment have
been handled. This association
handles the crop from Lambert
orchards in the Macleay section,
a cherry project of slightly more
than 215 acres in bearing trees.

DREST CORPS HAS
ITTEl OVER
SIBERIA: OMSK
HIS NEXT GOAL
Delayed for Servicing of
Plane as Moscow but
Beats Schedule
Five and Quarter Hours to
Good in Comparison to
Post-Gatty Time
MOSCOW. June S (Tuesday)
(AP) James Mattern was rac
ing into the black-clouded east
early today toward Omsk, Siberia,
after taking off from here at 1:14
a. m. (5:14 p. m. Monday, east
ern standard time) on the fourth
leg of his attempt to hang up a
new world circling speed record.
The American aviator slept
only two hours after his arrival
yesterday afternoon from Oslo,
Norway, but was forced to remain
here nine hours and 17 minutes
because of delays in servicing his
plane.
Soviet officials refused him per
mission to fly the shorter route
to Alaska via Yakutsk because of
unfavorable conditions. He is fol
lowing the same route taken by
Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, who
established the world-girdling rec
ord of eight days, 15 hours and
51 minutes in 1931.
(Mattern left Moscow five and
a quarter hours ahead of the
standard set on the Post-Gatty
flight. He was three hours ahead
in reaching Moscow. Post and
Gatty stayed there 11 hours and
30 minutes.)
"Fooled Them," Says of
Report He Was Lct
Asked his reaction to surmises
abroad that he was lost when he
was unreported for some time aft
er landing in Norway Sunday,
Mattern said: "I fooled them
didn't I?"
He ended his Transatlantic
hop from New York on Jomfru
land, off the south coast of Nor
way, at 4:15 a. m. Sunday. Six
teen hours and 45 minutes later
he flew to Oslo, Norway. At 12:40
a. m. eastern standard time", he
took off for Moscow, arriving
here seven hours and 17 minutes
later
Asked whether he was able to ;
sleep during his flights, Mattern
answered affirmatively and then
outlined an ingenious arrange
ment which permitted him to
catch "forty winks" in the air at
various times.
"1 fixed rubber bands to the
stock from the compass rack, al
lowing sufficient margin to pro
vide for a slight drift to the
right," he explained. "Then I
crossed my legs and with my right
foot put a slight pressure on the
left rudder, which equalized the
drift and kept the plane on an
even course. That's the way I got
my catnaps."
Lumber prices soared $3 a
thousand on common and $7 on
clear, giving evidence of Increased
demand, it was announced at the
Salem chapter, Oregon Building
congress, executive committee
meeting last night. The increase
on common represented a rise of
nearly 50 per cent over the lowest
price of the last three years. One
mill, it was reported, has more
orders booked ahead than at any
time since 1930 and its represen
tatives have been instructed to
limit the number of carload or
ders they accept.
The builders voiced new optim
ism tor a betterment in their in
dustry, which has been at rock
bottom since 1930. They felt that
property owners, foreseeing high
er prices, would soon begin to
make improvements and initiate
new construction.
Several builders reported that
because most building materials
are gaining In price, they were
now forced to place lime limits
on quotations they made on con
struction and allied work.

Is Filed by Olson
Salem's aldermen, after two
earlier failures, Monday night
passed an ordinance which per
mits the sale of beer in Salem.
The measure squeaked through
by one vote, eight members vot
ing aye, four nay and two. who
in previous meeting had voted
nay, being absent. Alderman S. A.
Hughes had chanced from th
negative to the affirmative posi
tion when last night's roll was
called.
Mayor Douglas McKay prompt
ly signed the ordinance which be
comes effective In 10 days, mak
ing June 15 the legal date for
beer's sale in Salem. The measure
did not contain any emergency
clause, which would have mad
beer's sale Immediately valid.
Alderman O. A. Olson introduc
ed and the councilmen passed to
committee an ordinance which
provides a system of beer licens
ing and a sales tax on all beer
hereafter sold in Salm.
Wet Measure l"p
ror Vote in July
Already the council has passed
on measures which will come be
fore the voters July 21. These
proposals call for the amendment
of the city charter striking out all
existing reference to the sale of
beer and wines and giving the
council power only to regulate
"intoxicating liquors."
I The vote on the so-called NeeU-
uiu-ruutrr uiuuiauce IJM lllgui
was: For: Armpriest. Boatwright.
Fuhrer, Hendricks, Hughes, Neei
ham, Kuhn. Olson. Against: Hen
derson Townsend. Vandevort,
Wilkinson. Absent: Daue, O'Hara.
Although a crowded gallery
was on hand for debate, the mea
sure went throueh without a word
of aldermanlc comment. The or
dinance was read by title. Mayor
McKay announced the matter was
now before the council, not a
word was said about" beer, and
the mayor proceeded to put the
question.
A number of W. C. T. U. wo
men were in the audience as well
as special representatives of Sa
lem churches but no onlookers,
asked to be heard and no council
man made a statement.
Deletes Phrase
From Dry Ordinance
The ordinance passed last night
deletes phrases of the ordinance
passed in 1913 wherein sale of
beer, malt beverages, wines and
other light liquors is prohibited.
The ordinance has no effect on
the charter amendment which
continues in the fundamental law
of the city but effectually stops
the enforcement of this charter
amendment by doing away with
the machinery for enforcement.
Last night's meeting showed
that, the pro-beer forces bad
learned from their first attempt
to pass a beer ordinance tbat si
lence is golden. Several months
ago when the first proposal to
legalize beer came np. a heated
debate arose, followed by an ad
verse vote, seven councilmen vot
ing against the propsoal to six
voting affirmatively. Subsequent
ly the matter of beer's sale was
raised at a special meeting but a
quorum of councilmen did not at
tend and no action could be tak
en. The Olson ordinance for licens
ing and taxing the sale of beer
calls for an annual license of from
$10 to $30 on retailer dealers
and a $50 to $100 a year annual
tax on distributors and brewers.
Olson's ordinance also provides
for a stamp tax ranging from one
cent stamp revenue from each
bottle sold to $l on kegs. He pro
vides that the name of the dis
tributor be placed on the stsmp.
Olson estimated yesterday that
$12,000 annually could be produc
ed for the city through these rev
enue features.
