ff PAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1925 PRICES OF WHEAT TAKE ANOTHER HIGH HURDLE Ch'cago. Deo. 20. (A. P.) Sen Ha t ion a 1 n (Ivan ecu In the value of wheat took place today amounting In some caHCH to 0 eenU a bush el. The mnxlmum upturn for the December delivery. The bulk of business, however, w.'ia In May de livery, which scored a gum of 6 cents on some tranwacllonH, reucii Ing an high as $1.80 a buhel. 1'roflt tatting sales on the ad vance led to sharp reactions. The final trading was of a highly nerv ous character with last prices four rents to 7 cents up December $1.83 to $1.84 4 and May $1.79 to $1.80. Chicago, Dec. 26 fAP) Wheat prices jumped more than five cents a bushel today to the highest level yet this season. May delivery sold at above $1.79 a bushel and De cember obove $1.80. Reports of fresh damage to crops In Argen tina were at hand, and it was atao current talk that milts In the LTnlt- ed states have as a rule no more 'than a sixty days supply of wheat In their elevators. For a market in the holidays, -wheat developed surprising activ lly. Persistent buying was a notable feature. Rains In southern and cent Argentina were reported to be bringing about further harmful conditions at a critical time for tlu crop and wero delaying the har vest. Such advices accentuated cur rent reports of wheat shortage In the United Htates and that the close ness of domestic bread wheat sup ply and demand has never here tofore been equalled. Hhortly before the wheat market closed, December wheat showed a gain of nearly 10 cents a bushel, having soared to $l.8t May Wheat meanwhile had climbed 6 cents a bushel to $1.80.

Is the result of an Idea of Souaa and Mr. Askins to carry better music Into tho smaller cities of the country without financial loss to the local sponsors for tho attraction. Under their system of cooperation with the local sponsors In promoting the attraction, which Includes special advertising and educational publi city work, the organization boasts that in tho eight years tho plan has been In operation no organization, regardless of tho weather or Bea con, has ever been compelled to dig into Its treosury to make up a deficit on a Sonsa concert. Booking tho Sowa attraction for tho nrniory'rather than tho Hellig theatre itself was done to tnko ad Vantago of tho increased seating capacity of tho larger building. Dawn Fish Discovery Extends Life Estimate Back Millions of Years New York, Doc. 20. (A. P.) A foesllzicd liali scale, .scarcely larger thun a match hetid, discov ered at St. Albans, Vermont, Is forcing scientists to exlend eetl imitns of pro-human life buckwurdH miliums ot year, the New York Times nays tuday. "Howell's. Dawn flay Is the nnrao that has been givsu tine denizen of the Cambrian age whic'i it had heretofore been supposed was peopled only by in vertebrae and plants of low order. Although there, is no Information on which to base a description of this "fish plate," as it is called, scientists say it lit highly important because it proves that choro chordaie, or primitive vertebra, existed in what had been cone! de red a "backbone less age," 60.000,000 to 100,000, 000 years ago at the down ot life in It lowest forms. Professor D. P. Howell, of the department of geology at Prince ton university, the di9?cveror of the plate e.id that it corresponded to the scale of the present specie of fish. It wae described as being part of the urmour which prop' ably defended the head and fore trunk of eome hitherto unknown fish. It is said it may throw light on the origin ot the fJBh us a genus. The plate is now in the Prince ton museum of paleontology. Pro fessor Howell and Professor Chas. Schuchert, of the department of geology at Yale, found it last sum inor on the final day of a field expedition which was of a -series extended over 13 years by Pro fcBsor Howell to find chordata in Cambrian strata. Tho to&sli was found in shale which contained trilobites ana brachlphods, which enabled scien tists to estimate the age of the strata and indicated that fish might have had their origin in salt water instead of fresh, as had been believed. OREGON TOTALLED 14.000 POUNDS With the crop all cleaned up, estimate of 1-1,000 pounds has been placed on tho Oregon mint crop for tho last year by Dan J. Fry, tho heaviest buyer. These figures are- approximate. On this basis about GtiO acres of mint was pro ducing tho last year and the crop sold at the highest prices in his tory, going as high as 1 14.50 ( pound at the end of the selling sea son. While the present Idea Is the mint acreage may be doubled next year hecauso of high prices this year, nevertheless it may be not as large as expected, as It is known l hat a few who contemplate put ting In mint already are getting old feet because of talk of tre mendous new plantings both here ;ind In Michigan promised for the spring and fear that the market may go as relatively low next year as a result as it went up this. It has practically been determi ned that the Hayes interests In the LahUih country will put In about 100 acres of mint next year, and may bo more. This will probably go onto some of their land which has been leased for onion growing. :fhls would swell next year's pro duction In Itself by about 2500 pounds.
