THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1925. BLACK CHERRY DEAL SWINGS INTO HEAVY ACTION PAGE EIGHT TO RUSH FRUIT AS CLOUDS L The black cherry Benson Is pet tlitR well under way, with Dennoy & com puny shipping a car out of finlcm and another out of McMlnn ville today, Young & Wells promis ing to ship out a car tonight and the same promise coming from O. E. prooks of the black cherry aa aoclation. Cloudw in the sky today caused Roy Hurst, managing the Denney deal here, to Bend out emergency ordera to all growers under con tract to get busy with their pick ing. "There are plenty of cherries ripe and we want to got thorn In." stated Hurst. "If the weather threatens we will pack out two cara a day Instead of one If wo can get the cherries and we want every growers to get In his cherries at the earliest possible moment. Them are plenty of picking boxes antl there will always be a man ready to advise every grower whether hf cherries are ready to pick if u tolephone call is sent In." W .13. Knowor, Polk county rancher, brought in a branch from one of his Lambert trees this morn lug carrying cherries that would command a top price in any mar ket anywhere. The cherries that ire coming in generally are show ing quality. Dennoys are shipping thU year In pine lugs brought down from Tho Dalles and have put tho name Bnlom, Oregon, on their labels for aJt cherrlefl going out of here un der the name of Denney & com pany of Oregon. Hurst states that tho cool weather will not retard the ship ping as he says cherries are plenty rlpo now and the cool weather has a tendency to keep the cherries firm. Tho main fear Is of rain, al though the barometer was favor able to continued fair weather to day. The first car going out today for Denney & company Is headed for Chicago, but If the condition of tho cherries warrants U, the car will be sent on to New York after ex amination at Chicago. At the association plant about a third of a crew was working to day. Manager Brooks states that ho xpects to bo working at full blast at the plant by the mlddlo of the week. He expects the association will continue handling cherries un til the middle of the month. .Inquiries among various ship pers and growers and at tho can neries fail to bring out anything very definite as to the extent of the crop or how extensive the do-! liveries will be. Aside from every one agreeing that there will be a mall crop, no one Is Inclined to mako any prophesies as to Just how extensive It will be. Many growers aro finding that they ai picking more chorrles than they expected to pick, while many other growers aro reporting that they will be short on tholr estimates, i A general guess, In light of all j responses to Inquiries, indicates mo crop win be Just about as fig ured early in the soason, along about 2fi per cent of last year. Twenty cars of blacks nil told out of here Is the outside estimate on fresh shipments. (Continued from rage one) to restore service over tho track torn area. Dr. Frederick Vlning Fisher of Los AngclcA, saw the Hanta Bar bara earthquake from the window of a moving train. "I looked out of the dining car window and saw trees and house moving, chim neys f illing and people running from their homes." ho said. The train twice narrowly missed being buried in debris. "I havo been through many quakes but never one like this," aid Manager Richmond of the Arlington hotel, "It Just took the hotel that we considered strong as a fnrtresM and shook It back and forth as If It were a rag." Father Knglebrccht, i.n aged In valid priest, was being carried down the stairway of tho historic old mission by a companion, Fath er AuguHten. With the second nhock they fell through a new hole In the floor below. Neither I was Injured. The Santa Barbara Dally News, the Associated Press afternoon papor, despite tho lnck of power, Issued a small extra threo hours after tho first shock hit Hanta Barbnra. The Standard OH company gaso line slorago tanks at Hanta Bar bara burst and tho earthquake area wna partially covered with the oil. Tho area was roped off because of the hazard. COURT HOLDS GOVERNOR'S VETO VALID (Continued from Pan One bill, the bun bill and the tithing bill, but the novernor had vetoed the ftpcclal election act, ao that Opyrntlon of all theso measures 'it now held up pending the general election In November, 1926. The governor wan charged with having vetoed the bill for the re.i eon that he wanted the Dennis res olutlon, proposing on Inhibition against Income and Inheritance tax oh In Oregon for 16 yearn, and a Rtnte income tax bill both to ro beforo the people In November, 2926, so that he could sot then over agnfnnt each other as a gu bernatorial campaign Issue. The governor is strongly opposed to the Dennis resolution and as strongly In favor of a stats Income tax act. Had the special election been called bha Dennis resolution would bars been before ths peo ple the coming September. ON THE AIR WEDNESDAY NIGHT (l'ucirio Time) KG W, Portland, Ore., 401.fi 8-7 P.

The nlant Is working top speed on two shifts keeping In practical ly continuous operation. During the day- the plant has been running on cherries, nnd straw berries and raspberries ami this afternoon the plant also will start on black raspberries, quanti ties of these berries having been received today at tho cannery nnd fine looking berries aro coming In. Tho new grader invented by w. O. Allen, manager of the company, has undergone numerous changes and improvements alnce its instal lation at the beginning of the sea Hon and Is proving Itself a won der machine as It is handling lo ganberries, cherries and every oth or task set to It without a hitch. The machine Is proving to be ato- lutely mathematically accurate In the handling of the loganberries in well as other fruits. The mach ine was designed particularly to meet tho loganberry situation, al though It has been found to work, out as an nil purpose grader, re-1 gardlcss of the kind of fruit that has been put up to It. Tho loganberry pack put over lat night was preceded; by tho big gest lino of farm em ever seen bo- fore tho local plant, and during the afternoon they wcro plied up deep It Is expected tho logons will run at the cannery up to about the end of next week, while the chorrles will probably be pretty well clean ed up at tho end of this one. Tho strawberries that aro com ing In now arc largely from the Silver creek fnlls country and are fine looking berries. Tho straw berries from that section always come In at the tall end of the bo.i son. Tho Hunt cannery this year has enlarged the landscaping effects on the Front street shlo of the plant and will be moro beautiful than over. The gardens havo been re plenished with a wilderness of gladioli, salvias, African and Wrench marigolds, ilnnlas, hydra n gas and a number of other plants literally growing by the thousands nnd when they burst forth into bloom within a few weeks will pre ttent a beautiful sight. The gar dens are watered from the warm waste water which passes through tho canneries water canning system and this hhhUs In making a ma terial growth. EXPERTS DISAGREE ON CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE (Contlnutd from Page One.) i or. nee t ion with Mioho in S.itu.1 llarbara, und suggested that 1'"- sihly a recent hot wave In soir.ii- i n Call forn ia had something to do with the quake flu-re. Dr. 11. S. T-twnley, of Stanford university, unit, (hut experts ha. I discovered (Mirth strain three yearn ago In tho Santa llarbara area and hud predicted quakes. Tliesp strains, they believed, ha:) been gathering aiuco the San l-'ranciwrt quake of 1106. There has been unwonted seis mic octivity In North America this ear, about 25 quak'j i various n?lnt8 from AlisUa to Mrxlco hiv. 'ng been record ru since January 1 at Kurd ha in university, N jw York. Tna liev. J. S. O'Connor, d' rector of the seismograph, attri buted them all to the name genera, unknown cauovs. "Protruded period of seismic culm Is always followed by a per iod of activity,' ho Raid. "The tirat quako relieves tho etrnin where It occurs, but increase tho strain otne where and the process con tinues until tho surface of the earth nduot Itself to all the sub terranean changes which took place during the period of calm." Eastern sclsmoraphA recorded thf Montana disturbances na more violent than the Santa Harbor i quakes. "This has nothing to rio wilt, tho comparative lose of life and proporty," said Professor O'Con nor.

Today fancy cantaloupes are held at $5.25 to $5.50 per standard crate with pony erats at $4.f0 and flats at $2.50. Supplies are limited and prices nre advancing at the ship ping point. iirokoi'N are asking $5 and $5.25 on cars spotted on the local team track during the past twenty-four hours. This means that produce iirm are forced to handle the melons on a very narrow margin and in some instances are moved at cost. The same Is true of watermelons Prices aro extremely high at ship ping point and produce firms are paying approximately 34 cents for watermelons laid down here. They are trying to get four cents on the boat melons but find them slow to move at such extreme prices. Extreme h'jt weather through out the country with tho demand exceeding tno supply is tne princi pal reason for tho skyrocketing market on lemons.
