PORTLAND, July 16-(iP)-Four
Oregon crops wheat, prunes,
pears and cherries should carry
off the productive banners of the
state if the July I crop estimates
of the US department of agricul
ture are not upset.
The annual mid-year survey of
the state's crops released today by
the department showed that most
crops, suffering either from the
sudden dryness of June or pests
or a combination of both would
approximate the 1937 yields or
the 1927-36 average.
uats, barley, corp. Hops ap
peared to be the principal suffer
ers showing the greatest drop
from the 193 7 figures.
Wheat Gets Breaks
The spring wheat crop, although
off from 1937 but ahead of the
1927-36 average, was more than
bolstered by a strong winter
wbeat crop, which approached the
average and was up about 60 per
cent from a year ago. ?
The favorable condition of the
winter wheat crop resulted from
the fact that east of the Cascades
the weather delivered the farmer
a real break by pouring down
rain almost at the exact time it
was needed. . West of the Cascades
this lack of rain .was causing
very poor" spring-seeded crops
and yields in all of this class were
considerably below average. ' .
Although the June dryness af-
ieciea some zruu crops, the ma
jority were not harmed because
of the large amount of moisture in
the soil to offset the surface
drought.
Listed Is Tabulated
By crops, the department's sur
vey showed:
Winter Wbeat Indicated production
11.755.000; 1937 8,580.000; 1927-36
average 14,924.000 bushels.

THE STOLEN GOD
By Edison Marshall
SYNOPSIS
Ned Holden, returning to Bang
kok, Siam, from a dangerous mis
ton into the Annamite country,
seems a typical American tourist.
Son of a Yankee mother and an
American missionary, Ned had
been reared by native nurses and
had spoken the native languages
before his own. Officially an eth
nologist, actually he is a secret
service man for the King of Siam.
Holden meets an American girl,
Virginia Griffin, just arrived in
Bangkok with her father, noted art
collector, and Andre Chambon, a
young French vicomte who is Grif
fin s secretary and Virginia s nance.
Soon thereafter -Holden is told of
the .heft of the famous Emerald
Buddha from the royal temple. It
must be restored to' its shrine be
fore the Siamese winter festival.
Griffin is under suspicion. .
Holden, under protest, consents to
Investigate and, next day, searches
the Grifhn rooms at the hotel.
Virginia returns unexpectedly and
, rinds him there. He must allow the
girl he already loves to believe him
a common thief. Virginia lets him
go and mentions the incident to no
one. Next morning, the Griffin
party leaves for the interior of
French Indo-China. with the an
cient city of Laos as their goal. On
recommendation of the French
governor a supposed Laotian head
man named T'Fan has been hired
as interpreter. The latter is Holden
in disguise. That night an arrow is
shot into the camp from the forest;
a warning from the Kha tribesmen
that the Griffin party should turn
back. Next morning Holden watches
the coolie Pu-Bow whom he has
lecogmzea as a aotian baron in
disguise. He also distrusts old
Nokka who had been hired as maid
for Virginia. Chambon tells Vir
ginia of a wondrous bronze jar he
hopes to secure for her father's
collection. Angered by Chambon's
fanatical interest in oriental cus
toms, Virginia repulses his ad
vances.
CHAPTER XI
In two hours the caravan crossed
the Laotian frontier. At once there
was color and life and charm. The
villages nestled in lovely river val
leys quaint, stut-built houses, a
bedecked Chinese store, a moss
gTown rice mill, and always a deco
rated pagoda with its stone Buddha
to bless the little fields. .
True, those fields were besieged by
jungle, waging guerilla warfare day
and night. Often the sambur and
the wild pig raided the scanty crops,
and sometimes an old "rogue ele
phant stripped the banana gardens
and trampled down the trees.. But
the villagers laughed the days away
without thought ox tomorrow. Still
they sang over the rice wine as in
the days of Chow See Veet, told tales
in the joss-house, made love in the
uniignt, ana gathered sowers as
offerings to their unheeding gods.
At one village the travelers
found an open-air native market in
full blast, It was the most colorful
scene in Virginia's experience
yellow-robed priests with shaven
heads; flute-players, jugglers, and
devil-dancers : all but naked Khaa
lingering shyly at the outskirts of
the throng, as though ready to dart
away to their jungle lairs; Meuw
horse-traders from somewhere back
of beyond, tall, slant-eyed men each
in a blue robe adorned with a red
ash, and coils of silver wire about
his neck.
On display in the stalls were all
the luxuries of the country: stone
Jars of rice wine, boxes of opium,
Burma cheroots; sticky sweets and
rice cakes; screened boxes of big
beetles, an especial delicacy to the
Laotian palate; wild honey; new
killed jungle fowl and venison ; a
ruby-colored jelly which Virginia
thought at first was congealed fruit
juice until she learned, with some
thing of a shock, to the contrary.
There was jade from China, little
gods in ivory, embroidered shawls
and heavy silk sarongs, almost
everything imaginable from flawed
rubies out of Burma to alarm
clocks from Connecticut. -
It was an old story to Ned. but
ever new; and he could remember
few things more pleasant than
ahowing it all to Virginia. How her
eyes danced when he interpreted the
talk of the stalls, and how delighted
she was when he bandied jests that
made the crowd roar and the young
Laotian maidens hide their faces.
But Chambon was in his glory too,
talking French to the mandarins,
and waving his arms and laughing.
He bought several pieces of needle
work, a copper lamp that had
lighted a joss-house when the
Caesars reigned in Rome, and a lit
tle figure in jade with onyx eyes
and a-face of incredible evil.
A little while later Chambon
hastily stopped the car. Through a
rift in the trees his auick eve had
They drove on, seeking more ad
venture and it came to meet them
in the road.
As they swept around a bend, a
new-fallen tree barred their way.
The drivers pulled up; instantly
four little men, naked except for
loin cloths and armed with small
bows and poisoned arrows, sprang
up from the shadows of the jungle.
They were Khas from the hills.
At once their spokesman stepped
lorward and salaamed.
"I would speak to the great lords,"
ne said in the gobbling, deep-throat
ed Kha tongue.
Chambon turned quickly to Ned.

"What do yt want, ys forest pijs?" Ned heard Pa-Bow demand
, . i in the Kha tongue.
seen a ruined roof-tree. He led the
way through stubborn vines to
forsaken pagoda, now all but de
voured by the jungle.
It was a large temple, and the
stones at the door had been worn
smooth by naked feet, but tha only
life in it now was the snaky creep
ers growing in the windows an
rents in the walls, and winding and
twining about its zauen columns.
One battered wooden Buddha,, four
feet high and partially covered with
gold leaf stood fn the corner; among
the rubbish 'Chambon found the
broken arm of what was once
life-size Buddha in stone.
Catching his excitement. Virsinia
looked in the broken crypt and soon
found the head and shoulders of
the same image, and tore off the
jungle creepers that held the piece
last. ' .. .
'That was a good Buddha, once.1
Chambon said. "And what an in
teresting cross-ribbed doublet, the
like I have never seen. And that
face is exquisite, with its wonderful
sweet smile, j There, Pere Griffin, is
real Laotian religious art."
But further search revealed only
a hand and a few undecipherable
fragments of the torso. -
What would happen if we'd take
that bust along? Griffin asked. For
he too was impressed by the Bud
dha's enigmatic smile. .
"Nothing at alL You could have
the crack around it repaired, make
a base for it, and have something
handsome. Look, Pere Griffin 1 If
you take that, will you let me take
the wooden Buddha in the corner?"
I don't want it in my collection.
."But X want it in mine. The face
is sinister, "with a mocking expres
sion rarely seen in a Buddha."
"Go ahead . . And here's a new
silver coin in the dust. Ill take this
along, too." )
A mw silver coin! Ned made no
comment, but his dark eyes lighted
0P ,'"- .
TFin, do you know that lan
guage?" Ned usually chose his course on
the basis of logic and a fair share
of good American horse-sense, but ;
now he acted on sheer inspiration.
"No, Tuan. I am a Laotian, not a 1
Kha."
"Then call rjP Pu-Bow, that bear
er I hired. If he speaks Kha, he can
find out what the little beggars want
and let us know in French."
Pu-Bow came up from the baggage-lorry,
salaamed to Chambon,'
and looked down at the black men
in utter scorn.
"What do ye want, ye forest
pigs?" Ned heard him demand in the
Kha tongue.
Nay, we be free men ; the French
have declared us so. We have come
down from our villages to meet He-Who-Has-Come,
and speak a warn
ing." "
"Take warning yourselves, that
ye dare obstruct his road."
The little man quivered, but went
on gamely. "We tell him to go back,
now, before too late. What is gone,
is gone. The French have broucht
a word greater than the word writ
ten on the stone. The iron rings
are melted in the fire. We be small
men, tilling the rockv hillside
where even the wild gourd cannot
Una root, but there Is venom on our
arrows and the will of our gods in
our bow arms. If he comes, his own
head wfll faU."
Ned's heart leaped un. but Pn-
Bow only spat in the dust. "Ye are
not forest pigs, full of cunning, but
foolish monkeys, chattering in the
jungle," he scorned. "He-Who-Has-
Come is under the protection of tbe
French, and if ye touch one hair of
his head, your village will be wiped
clean from its hillside I" And he
beckoned up the drivers to drag the
obstructing tree aside.
