IMPORTED WHEAT BRINGS 6 CENT PRICE BREAK
PAGE SIX
Chicago, Mar. 11 An extreme
break of nix cent a bushel In the
wheat market today took place 'dur
ing the first half of the Reunion.
Heavy selling forced the May de
livery down to SI. 81 am ugalnttt
$1.87 ft to $1.87 at yesterday
finish. Untie arrival of wheat at
Liverpool in excess of Immediate
demand was the chief depressing
factor.
Kallies which followed the early
ct backs in price failed to lavit and
additional weakness developed dur
lng the second half of the day.
The new declines quickly sent May
wheat as low as $1.80, making
the total drop ut that (rtuge mure
thnn seven cents a bushel.
Initial wheat prices, which rang
ed from m to Stf cents off, with
May $1.84 a to $1.86 and July
$1.61 to $1.62 , were followed
by an irregular descent that car
ried May as low as $1.82.
After opening at to 1 de
cline, Mny $1.2'Jtt to 1.29, corn
rallied somewhat but then drop
ped to $1 28V for May.
Oats started at hi to off. May
60 to SO , reacted a bit. and
then felt lower than before.
Proviblons were weak.
The wheat close was unsettled,
S to 6 net lower. May $1.81
to $1.82 and July $1.60 14 to
S1.6UU.
Coin closed nervous 1 i to 1
net lower, May 11.28 to $1.28
BOARD TURNS
DOWN SINGLE
BID FOR SITE
(Continued from page one)
ed iu rial cm at the present time,
and that it cannot be disposed of
now at a figure even approximat
ing iti real value. The fact was
brought out that the block Is just
four blocks from the etate house,
in the direction which the city
is growing, and that the section
promises to be one of the most
valuable iu the Salem residence
district.
Harry Olinger, chairman of the
board, stated briefly what he con
sidered to be thu bourd's point of
view on the question. "A heavy
bond issue was recently floated In
Salem for the purpose of building
three new school houses,'' he suld.
"The main argument inudc in up
po. of that bond issue was that
the Washington school, among
others was in a dilapidated con
dition and unfit for present use.
After the bond were voted the
idea was conceived of building one
large Junior high school instead of
three smaller buildings. This idea
was approved by the people of Sa
lem by vote.
Vote Considered Mandate.
"It semed to us that by these
Totes ti.e people or Salem had ex
pressed their desire to have the
Washington schom torn down. It
has been euti mated that to plncc
the building in condition for use
will Involve a repair bill of $7000
or $8000. Our idea wati that by
tuklng the sum saved en this re
pair hill and adding to it the price
we received for the grounds, we
could build a grade school on the
school property two blocks nurlh
and across Mill creek from the
Washington site.
"We hud no Intention of giving
the property away,
"Bo far as a park is concerned,
the school district la no more able
to maintain a park than Is the city
of Salem. Wo will do well to keep
up with our school expenses."
Olinger stated that the district
owns a large tract of land north
of Mill creek. He denied Unit lliii:
land is swampy most of the year.
"If the peoplo of Salem wanted to
muintain a park there we should
be very glad to co-operate with
them," he etateu. "Hut to keep
the Washington school site for
park purposes would not be good
business. One-seventh of the area
of Salem is already immune front
taxation."
In a word, the gist of OlingcrV
remarks wiu that tux exempt
property should be kept at a mini
mum in the city, but that tin-
large tract rather than the sm-tl)
block should be used for a park
Furthermore, that it would b
poor business on the board's part
to co-operate with the city in nuiK
ing a park of the Washington
school site, but good business to
cu-operute In making a park of th
larger site two blocKs north.
Realtors Present Plan
William Cuhltstlurf, member of
the board, brought out the fact
that a lurge school cunnot be sue
cessfully placed on the Washing
ton grounds. There is nut room
for a building and playgrounds,
be stated. The policy of the boarrj
la to have large buildings in order
to cut down overheard expense.
A report was submitted by rep
resen tatives of the Marion-Polk
County Realtors' association show
lng the association's plan of cut
ting the block up Into lots and
selling the IoIb. The plan involved
running a narrow street through
the center of the lock in a north
and south dlrectiou. All lots In
the western half of the block
would be cut to front east. The
lots In the eastern half would
either front east, with their back
yards In tho direction of their
western neighbors or west, with
their hack yards on 13th street.
Under the realtors' plan a row
Of back steps, instead of a sightly
park, would be presented for view
from every passenger train thnl
passed through the city on the
Southern Pacific line.
No definite action was taken on
the plan.

T
Application for receivership
over Uie Kale in Krult union has
been made by attorneys for the
Phez company following return of
the mand'tto by the supreme court
in the litigation between the two
companies covering years, and
March i;i is the date set for the
hearing. The fact that March 13
also falls on a Friday did not de
ter nttorncys from making the re
quest for tliis date.
The application for appointment
of a receiver elates that the value
of all of the amets of the fruit
union does not exceed $00,000,
that tho union Is Insolvent and not
able to pay the judgment against
It, or clilma on loganberry con
tracts for 10 cents a crate dam
ages. "The attitude of the said union
throughout this litigation as dis
closed by the records of Ihi.s case
is such I. cunnot reasonably be
expected that sa id union will pro
ceed with tile collection of such
penalties," states tho application,
referring to claims for 10 cents a
crate damage:! sllll to be collect
ed from growers, "and It is neith
er fair to the union or to the plain
tiff to ask or permit wild union to
conduct sue h lltigathiii."
Tho application goes on to aver
that the petitioner It informed that
the United States government haw
made claim against the union for
income tax, that the claim is not
wholly lawful, lh.it the same is
not being contested by the fruit
union nor any effort made to con
test the same or inquire into ite
regularity or validity, hut the
union is pcrniittinc; tho claim to
be collected by the government out
of Its assets and property without
protect or Investigation.
The buHhi?ss fop which the union
was organized 1ms been wholly
eoiiHumated, s'ates the applica
tion. It Is not imw a going con
cern and 1i:ls lit en kept alive only
fop t ho purpose of fighting this
lit igatlon. The application stales
that all of tho growers affiliated
with tho union .ire marketing then
crops in oilier channels.
V. C. ViPdow, one of th at
torneys, went to Portland today
fop it conference- with Roy Shield,
ono of the attorneys for the itro.v
crs. at which tuno the question of
who shiill In named an re.-'lver
probably will bo discussed at
length nnd recommendations to
the court along that line miy
probably be tentatively agree X upon.
ROADS NEAR MILL CITY
TO BE IMPROVED SOON
Mill City. Or., March 11. The
long waited for road machinery
consisting of a tractor, scarifier
and grader for district No, 127,
has arrived and should be Bet to
work immediately on the road be
tween Lyons and Mill City, which
are in a deplorable condition, test
ing out the temper of anyone at
tempting the trip over t hem.
Some work is now being done west
of Mehama which le helping con
siderably, and the survey has been
staked out for the three miles of
new pavement to be put in thl
spring between Mehama and Stay
ton. In the storm that ended Tues
day morning six inches of fresh
snow are reported to have fallen

PLANTS OF 0L0
The Oregon Growers association
tlll in the process of liquidation
of Us atsiotH, hati on hand about a
dozen plants that can be extracted
from the association painlessly
:vnl easily by the application of a
proper amount of the salve which
masquerades under the name of
curieney.
While a number of plants al
ready have been disposed of, the
process of disposition seems to
have come to more or less of a
halt for the time being, due prin
cipally to any seeming absence of
a mad desire on the part of peo
plo to purchase such plants.
There arc plnnu at Medford,
Grants Pass, Kiddle. Garden Val
ley, Koseburg. Dallas, Carleton,
Forest Grove, Scot is ' Mills and
New berg, Theplants nt Dallas and
Forest Grove ere packing plants
and at Curleton the plant Is a
drier.
W. I. Stuley, who has charge of
the disposition of tho plants states
that just at present the business
of dispotdng seems to be quiet, and
that the market on plants Is slight
iy weak with no apparent firm
ing tendencies in sight.
Tho association also has about
40,000 pounds of dried loganber
ries that are looking for a buyer.
All of the other assets of the
tflsocintion generally have been
cleaned up
