Truck Left on
River Bank
Poses Puzzle
Why did a man abandon a pick
up truck two weeks ago in the vi
cinity of the Willamette River and
bitch a ride on a passing barge?
That was the question confront
ing city police Sunday after their
attention was called to the aban
doned vehicle, left parked near the
Oregon Gravel Co., 1405 N. Front
St
Officers were told mat at the
urne me io muh pickup was1
abandoned the driver was seen to
clamber aboard 'a barge headed
downstream. Ownership of the ve
sicle was traced to an Aaany man,
police said, but there remained the
question of identity of the person
who climbed on the barge. A check
was being made with Albany po
nce.
Records Examined
Records here show, however.
that no bills were filed in the gov
emors office for several days after
the 1955 session adjourned on May
4 and that the last of .the 744 bills
passed during the session did not
reach the Executive Department
until late Friday afternoon of last
week. There were approximately
125 Dills as of Saturday to be dis
posed of by the governor within
the deadline for signing or vetoing
Dills which expires Friday.
All Dills approved by the 1953
Legislature were in the governors
office within five days after the
sessiou adjourned.
Officials said there might be
some financial saving due to the
new system of handling bills be
cause the type can be salvaged for
printing the legislative journals.
Clgaret Tax Bill
The governor's legal adviser, un
der the new system, was reported
to Save been unable to examine a
substantial number of bills sent to
the Executive Department, in
groups, which previously expedited
his work. He has not been without
bills since the Legislature "ad
journed.
A number of important biELs are
included among those yet to be
considered by Gov. Paul L. Patter
son. One of these is the proposed
three cent per package cigaret tax.
The governor has 20 days after
the Legislature adjourns, exclusive
of Sundays, to dispose of bills.
Casper A. Oveross, Silverton
carpenter indicted for the Feb. 17
murder of Ervin Kaser, will prob
ably be returned to Salem next
Sunday, Marion County Sheriff
Denver Young said Sunday night
Oveross is being held in the fed
eral jail at Fairbanks, Alaska
where he surrendered Friday eve
ning after being notified by his at
torneys that he was being sought
by officials bete. It was presumed
here he was aging held on a fed
eral fugitive charge filed in Port
land a few hours before he was
placed in custody.
Sheriff Young said Sunday it
would have been only a matter of
hours before Oveross would have
been apprehended had he not vol
untarily given himself up to the
district attorney at Fairbanks. He
said Oveross' address there had
been determined by officials sev
eral hours before he gave himself
up at 5 pjn. Alaska time Friday.
Legal machinery for returning
Oveross to Salem is expected to be
set in motion today by District
Attorney Kenneth O. Brown. The
governor will probably act on the
request for Oveross' return later
in the day.
Young said 11 everything goes
alright he would plan to leave for
Fairbanks from Portland by plane
eariy mursoay morning and re
turn early Sunday morning. He
said he hopes to take one other
officer, probably a state policeman
who worked on the investigation
of the Silverton shooting.
Whether Oveross was being held
in Fairbanks on both the fugitive
and murder charges was not
known, by officials here. If he has
been served with the fugitive war
rant it will be necessary to take
Oveross to federal court In Fair
banks to have the charge dismissed
before he can be turned over to
local authorities.

By LILLTE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statesman
The strawberry outlook, as
gathered from the various pro
cessors' fieldmen, was given Sat
urday in The Statesman. At the
same time, information was gath
ered on other berries grown in
the Willamette Valley.
Most of the vine berries are
just getting nicely started. Yield
indications cannot yet be deter
mined, fieldmen report.
Blackcap prices went up to 32
cents or better last year. Ele
ments in the trade feel that black
caps were too high last year to
attrack sufficient market for in
creased production. In fact, in
order to attract processors, black
cap prices had to be lowered
after they were sold by the grow
er. Nonetheless, profitable prices
are expected, and those who con
sistently produce good .yields of
high quality fruit should find
blackcap growing an attractive
farm enterprise . . ; but the ad
vice is to try to have a market
before planting...
Fungus Disease
Blackcap plants are very sus
ceptible to verticillum wilt, a
fungus disease which shortens
the life of many plantings. This
disease has been an important
factor in keeping the blackcap
acreage down.
The evergreen blackberry mar
ket, which practically did away
with the harvest of wild ever
greens a once very profitable
fall occupation continues to be
active. The trade is able to ab
sorb all the blackberries we have
been able to raise in the valley
at a price of 9 cents or so, to

the grower. Blackberries grow
on land too heavy and poorly
drained to maintain raspberry
plantings. However, blackberry
harvest is late and picking fre
quently comes after school starts
leaving the biggest harvest of
these to the adults.
Fine Fruit '
The boysenberry is a very fine
fruit but few, except west coast
ers, realize this. Californians
have all the boysenberries they
can use. The Pure Food and
Drug folk won't allow the Willam
ette Valley to advertise boysens
as a "new kind of blackberry'
because, says, the PFD, "they
aren't" So the prospects for the
boysenberry are not too bright
Emphasis, by the trade, will be.
as it has been, placed on canned
and frozen boysenberries for pie.
Also, because of their delightful
flavor, boysens are finding some
xavor in blackberry ice creams
or ice cream toppings. 4
The red raspberry situation
does not look good. In 1953, the
crop was short and the price
went up to 22 cents. Imports of
inferior fruit at lower prices re
sulted. These inferior berries
then resulted in a lower demand,
and processors did not come out
well on the 22 cent berries. Any
how, we now have a year's supply
in storage. Only a good fresh
fruit market and increased sales'
of retail frozen packages will
help the situation.
Which all goes to show, that
along with the old economic law
of supply and demand, quality
helps more to set the market
trend than do price fixings and
acreage controls.
