I .."!"' for those whom they tamed were ifihe Grizzlies of Ashland. Tne ..litter, forced by the Buck de i tense to do most of their firing Jrom away out, hit scarcely L enough to talk about until the ""Urinal heat. They were behind 5-4 at the quarter, 12-7 at the half and 24-14 at the third ' period, and didn't make things .; really Interesting until midway jof the last stanza. ,- Skeet O'Connell's mainstay, Charlie Jandreau,- was well i covered by Pendleton's John Eggers, who also found time to i flip home four field goals and . three charity tosses for 11 points. Pendleton's man-for-man de ! "tense proved much tougher for the Ashlands to penetrate than . did Ashland's zone for the ; Bucks. Nice passing by Lewis i.-Beck, the all-state holdover from iVlast year who this season takes i no where near the shots he did i .last, and by Wayne Hodgen. : many-muscled running mate at .guard, were leading features of I the Buck attack. Fclunldt and Weaver Duel, Second Half Lanky Gene Schmidt carried the brunt of the scoring load for I the Bucks in the second half, tak ing op where Eggers left off in the first. He popped in four two pointers. " It was the well-lofted longies of Bob Weaver, Ashland forward, that enabled the southern Oregon quint to narrow Pendleton's lead to four points, at 29-25, with three minutes left to play in the ball game. Weaver pinged the net with fire field goals in the second half, which, added to his solo first canto two-pointer, gave him scoring honors with 12 points. Jandreau, his sweet Playing rnnningi mate, poked in 'two from the floor and all three of his opportunities from the hlaok mark, but in the main be was too closely guarded by Eggers to even got off a shot. Berrypickers Lose ' Two Mainstays V Lebanon's Berryplckers, who '-assumed the giant-killer role in i ruining Unl high of Eugene in . ' 7 the first round, lost their star hooper. Bob Medley, with the , score 18-11 against them and only five minutes of the second quarter played, and they were ' sadly lost from there out. Medley, as did Forward Miller in the third period, went out on fouls. . Not that it would have made , 'any difference in who won the ! ball game, for the Astorias were Warm, rapid and never ceasing. Lebanon chose to run with them, ..and that was right down their alley. h L Leading loper, as far as points """were concerned, was Rudy Lov Told, rangy guard who ticketed five for the two-point row and added a trio of one-pointers for a ' total of 13. But all the regular . Fishermen scored, and all of 'em ran. ran and ran some more. Simpson, Lebanon's guard who tucked in 17 points in the Unl high tilt, got 12 last night to .make him high scorer for the meet so far.

Forty per sons were killed in this industry since July 1, Rynerson declared. "Our fund is in a very satisfac tory condition and no increase is required it the present time," Ry nerson continued.

Tho Hearing Opens On Hop Market 19,316 Acres Cultivated by Oregon's Growers, Paulas Reports (Continued from page 1) represent approximately 80 grow ers in the Silverton-Mt. Angel dis tricts. Stall declared, "We are all in better condition than two years ago and are for the marketing agreement. The only criticism we have to make is the method of es timating and allocation." Banks Liberalizing Credit Extensions . Early yesterday, William S. Walton, vice - president of the Ladd & Bush bank, testified that a general improvement had been shown in 1938 and 1939 as a re sult of the federal hop marketing agreement program and that Ore gon growers were presently con tracting their 1940 crop seeded hops at prices ranging between 22 and 24 cents. During the course of testimony, Walton revealed that banks were being more lib eral with credit extensions as a result of the marketing program. In addition to a rising trend of harvesting costs, evidence pre sented at the hearing indicated an increase of 30 to 50 per cent in the cost of materials used by hop growers In their production operations. G. W. Kuhlman, as sociate economist of the Oregon State college, testified as to Ore gon hop production costs. Called by the secretary of agri culture at the request of a com mittee of growers, purpose of the public hearing is to gather evidence and testimony relative to a proposed marketing agreement and order for Pacific coast hops to replace the present program which terminates with the 1939 crop year. Inclusion of Idaho Being Proposed Provisions of the proposal would extend the producing area of Washington, Oregon and Cali fornia to include the state of Idaho, and provide for allot ments based upon estimates of production after harvesting begins, instead of after July 1 of each year, as Is feasible. Due to this later determination of pro duction, the proposal also pro vides for preliminary certificates to be issued in amounts not ex ceeding 75 per cent of each grow er's estimated total salable quan tity for the year. Members of the growers allocation committee would not be permitted to sub mit estimates of their own pro duction. The purchase, sale or contracting for the sale or handl ing of hops prior to the first day of October of the calendar year preceding the production of hops would be held an unfair trade practice and unfair method of competition. In addition to these provisions and other changes of minor im portance for the purpose of clari fication or to facilitate adminis tration, the proposed agreement is similar to the 1938 and 1939 program in adjusting the total quantity of hops to be sold in line with domestic and export de mand, and normal carryover. Following completion of the record of testimony at Salem, the hearing will be resumed at Santa Rosa, Calif., on March 18. United States department of agriculture officials conducting the hearing are: Neil Brooks. solicitor's office. Washington. DC; E. M. Graham, senior mar keting specialist, general crops section, Washington, DC, and O. A. Nahstoll, field representative, general crops section, Portland.
