live poultry offered In the local

choice quality stuff at steady prices.
Choice veal was getting 17, 17 14
and occasionally 18 cents per pound

from IS to 15'j cents per pound.
Lambs were steady around 20 to 21
cents.
Moderate supplies of live poultry
were cleaning up at prices steady
and unchanged since the first of
the week. A very good call Is re.
ported for young turkeys, now quot
ed from 30 to 33 cents per pound.
Concord grapes were in large sup
ply on the wholesale market and
showing generally unproved condi-
tion. Excellent Concords could be
had at three and one half cents
per pound.

the secretary so he could put his
finger on them when the time is
right.
For the most part the meeting was
peaceable. There were some sharp
prods at the council members, and
Alderman W. H. Dancy and W. W
Rosebraugh, both members of the
special Incinerator committee, grew
warm under the collar at times.
Dancy denied that the site pro.
posed lor tne incinerator Is ever
overflowed. He said it never had
been. The incinerator proposed he
declared is absolutely odorless. He
cited the city of Greensboro, N. C,
where there Is an incinerator within
1800 feet of a first class hotel and
an office building between the two
and no one objecting.
PRESENT SITE DISCARDED
A club member wanted to know
why the present city dump grounds
couldn't be used as a location for
the incinerator. Dancy said It would
cost $5000 to prepare the site, while
the site proposed by the committee
will cost only $275. To get a site
north of Salem where both the In
clnerator and the future sewage dis
posal plant might be located Dancy
said It would cost $500 or $000 an
acre, and that under present de
velopments of those things about
10 acres would be necessary.
C. W. Barker,, a club member,
wanted to know what would be done
with unburnable garbage. Dancy
replied that this would be used for
filling purposes In various parts of
the city. Tin cans, he explained
would go through the Incinerator,
where they would be much reduced
In bulk, and the remains of them
would be used for filling material.
"It will be absolutely odorless, and
it will be sightly," Rosebraugh said
"If It were to be located near our
(councllmen's) homes we wouldn't
object. If we locate It In the pro
posed place some of you will live to
see the day when you will thank
this committee tor what It did.
Going further Into the sewage dis
posal question. Rosebraugh said
these plants have not been per
fected, that they are unsatisfactory
and scientists still are working on
them.
BURNS DKV GARBAGE
Asked how the fire would be kept
going in the Incinerator, Rose
braugh replied that the garbage If
35 per cent dry would be Its own
fuel, and that Salem garbage Is
drier than that. It was believed that
some "hog fuel might have to be
used.
Dancy and Rosebraugh assured
the club members that the outfit
would be bought on the guarantee
that It Is odorless. If not, the com.
pany selling It would have to take
It away.
A housewife objected to the "old
smelly wagons" that haul the garb
age. The answer to this was that
the wagons would be scalded at Uie
incinerator plant and would be cov
cred when hauling garbage.
One citizen suggested that If the
Incinerator was going to be such a
thing of beauty as the councllmen
claimed, It ought to be downtown
where people could see It.
"You vote $1VOOO more bonds to
buy a site and we'll put It there,'
retorted Dancy. "I ll sell you my
lot."
Mr. Williams objected to all the
garbage from the canneries, the
hotels and the 63 eating places In
the city being hauled through the
southeast Salem resilience district.
He thought It should go north on a
railroad street.
CIIKSY IS OBJECTOR
In reply to various questions the
councllmen said it would be only a
matter of time until the city takes
over the garbage collection Instead
of letting It out to private people.
Former Mayor John B. oiesy, a
member of the club, applauded the
committee for Its work, but objected
to the location of the Incinerator on
the proposed site.
"It la further handicapping this
district," he declared. "Not only do
we not want It. but we must get rid
of those disgraceful slaughter
houses."
Alderman Purvlne, a representa
tive of Southeast Salem on the city
council, said he had always held
to the Idea of having both the In
cinerator and the garbage disposal
plant on the same plot of ground.
But he thought th latter was a long
way In th future, that there should
b no objection on th Incinerator
going to the proposed location and
tlx committee should go ahead.

"The mill situation la without ma

Then the secretary said also that
military purposes were involved In
the lease and that details could not
be made public without the author
ity of the president, but he enclosed
memorandum giving the high
spots in the lease signed by Sinclair.
It was after receipt of this letter
that Senator La Follette set In mo
tion machinery of the senate, the
operation of which resulted In the
sensational Investigation of 1923-24.
As the correspondence was read
and as Smith continued bis testi
mony Fall appeared calmer than he
did on yesterday when he stratled
attorneys and spectators by sud
denly rising from his seat and ad
dressing tha court In an effort to
have admitted testimony be said
was vital to his defense. He was
watched closely by spectators who
apparently were awaiting some other
dramatic move on his part.
Smith told the court that he sent
a geologist, K. C. Heald, to Teapot
Dome at the suggestion of Fall to
investigate reported danger of drain
age. "Heald told Secretary Fall In my
presence," said Dr. Smith, "that
there was no Imminent danger of
drainage in Teapot Dome. I do not
remember that I did more at that
time than to vouch for Heald.
"Three days later I went to Fall's
office with a written transcript of
Heald's oral statement, which I gave
the secretary. After that I was not
consulted by Fall about Teapot
Dome at any time." .
PRUNE GROWERS
FAILED IN RETURNS
Forest Grove, Ore., Oct. 21 VP)
Prune growers of the Forest Grove
district who sold their fruit through
a brokerage will meet Saturday In
the chamber of commerce rooms to
discuss action for recovering pay
ments for shipments made by brok
ers. ,
Green prunes, grown by local or
chardlsts, were shipped to the east
where their acceptance was refused.
As there was misunderstanding
whether the brokers took the fruit
pn consignment or bought It, dis
pute arose when payment to the
growers was refused. Beside the ex
pected loss of crops, the fruit men
are now faced with the prospect of
paying for the packing and shipping.
as Is shown by "liability statement
received In the last few day by sev
eral growers from the brokera.

made the $885 size is only 4 feet 6 inches long
A GRAND PIANO in your home tonight for only $35 down ! And the
piano? The George Steck, an instrument of splendid musical quality and
tradition, available in either of two sizes:
The 4-foot 6-inch model, for smaller living-rooms, its price $88$; or
The 4-foot 9-inch, slighdy more imposing model, priced $00.
In our judgment these are the lowest priced high-grade grand pianos
that are known. The dainty 4-foot 6-inch instrument is the smallest high-
grade grand piano made. Each instrument is finished
exquisitely in two-tone mahogany, a feast for the eye,
and its tone is a joy to the musician's soul.
The George Steck is an "international" piano. It is
made in America, England, France, Germany, and
Australia. It is a fine old make, dating back to 1857, and
was winner of First Prize in Vienna as long ago as 1873. It
won First Prize at Philadelphia's Centennial in 1876. Franz
Liszt played and praised the George Steck piano. Richard
Wagner had one in his home at Bayreuth. Its great modern
factory, near Boston, is a division of the Aeolian Company,
makers of the famous Duo-Art reproducing piano.
In presenting the George Steck in either of two sizes for as little as thirty
five dollars down, we are making it possible for homes to take immediate ;
possession of a very desirable grand piano instead of waiting unnecessarily,
or buying one that is too cheap to be enduringly sadsfactory. The balance, '
payable out of your income, may be spread over a period of years.
The largest stock of grand pianos in the entire West, the largest stock
of art or "period" pianos, and the largest stock of reproducing pianos, all
are available to you at Sherman, Clay & Co.
A piano of such distinguished calibre that it is included among the five
vehicles for the Duo-Art the George Steck whether in its Duo-Art
form or in form of the simple grand is indeed an instrument gloriously
sponsored.
And a George Steck grand piano will be established in your home tonight
for only $35 down.
