In the party were Ray Glatt, George Keys, W. J. Wilson, Dennis Norton, W. J. Flcegle, B. L. Carothers and wife, Frank Addleman and two sons and George Riches. The trip was made by way of Salem, Turner, Stayton and Scio, and the condi tions in the district indicate not more than two-thirds of a crop of soft berri'S. Rain is badly needed. At LaCon.u a very modern barrell ing plant is being installed by R. D. Bolton. Barrelling will start about June 1st. The party also visit ed Downing Brothers ranch near Lebanon, of 115 acres of strawberries. About 800 acres of berries are grown within a radius of two or three miles and the country is considered a wonderful berry country and very free from pests on account of its newness. A crop can be raised from the same vines for seven consecutive years.

BODIES OF 60 LOST SMOTHERHAMBURG (I eaiia uiojj ponnnaoo) tunnels, said that practically all the bodies brought out so far were those of the day shift men. Ho said the rescuers must fight their way 4,000 feet further back before they will reach number 9 north, where the entire night shift of 100 was on duty. The explosion occurred Just as the day men were leaving and the night crew went to work. Mather, Pa May 21 (IP The first definite theory for the cause of the Mather mine explosion which killed scores of miners was told by two survivors of the disaster. Their names have not been di vulged by mine officials but their story appeared to mine operators as the most logical explanation yet advanced. These men told mine officials they had witnessed the beginning of a series of explosions when a cutting machine severed the Insulation on an electric cable causing a tlash of sparks. The sparks ignited a wicket of gas and coal dust, which wrecked the mine. Peasants In southeastern Rurope are buying automobiles on lime. The Finnish Civic Air league re cently purchased an airplane. Oregon range feed conditions nre the best in 30 years, says a statement by Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinar ian. Not since the days of the early settlers have the range hills and desert waved with grass like this year. A trip through Central Oregon and the Idaho border line counties shows tons and tons of feed that will go ungathered. Throughout Harney county the range is reported the best in years. A reseeding will automatically take place and good range ought to be in order for the next few years. 'The cattle industry Is not as prosperous as the sheen industry, says Dr. Lytle. "The calf crop is large and the quality is fine and the price is fairly satisfactory. However production costs arc now higher and 12 cent steers which are only the tops, the bulk selling for much less, do not return a prof it comparable to the industry of 20 years ago with a scale of market prices much less than those of the present time. It's the overhead costs that are giving the trouble now. In creased taxes, high priced range land, forest reserve fees and higher priced labor, not to mention eight per cent money, which many of the growers maintain is not in the busi ness. A heavy carry over of last year's hay crop and this year's big yield will guarantee the right kind of prices for this product from a feeder's standpoint. New and changed methods of feeding and the increased raising and marketing of baby beef is going to put the cattle industry on a dirierent basis. "The range horse market is al most a thing of the past. They are as a rule not wanted except for slaughter at North Portland. The mare end might be successfully used for the purpose of breeding to draft stallions and supplying an Increasing demand for horses of this type to take the p'l ce of the tractor which had its uses during the war time period when labor was scarce and farm products high, but dollar and a quarter wheat and corrcs- pondingly cheap prices for all farm products will not justify tractor farming only in exceptional in stances. There were but few farms that did not need horses for part of the work and they had to be kept throughout the year anyway. The Pendleton country is ing tractors because they cannot get 'skinners . Everyone can drive a gas propelled vehicle. The average age of the horses of the united Stals should be six yars. It now averages 13. The horses of the United States cavalry should show an age average of seven years. It now averages 11 years. This excessive age average means that horses of size must soon be worth real money". EARLY ACTION FOR BUILDING AIRPORT (Continued from Page 1) board of control. Mr. Kay believes, however, that legislative approval of a recommendation of the board Is certain that the city can safely be gin construction of the landing field without waiting until the legislative session is held. The agreement between the state and the airport committees, reached at a conference before the election, Is not yet in exact form, particularly with reference to land wanted for the field on the east side of the north and sou. i road that traverses the site. As soon as the division of the ground on that side of the road is definitely agreed upon It Is be lieved no obstacles will be In the way of actual construction of the field. According to the tentative agree ment reached the state would sell the city about 1G0 acres at $150 an acre. This would afford room for a runway east and west and another north and south, each 2500 feet long. The fact that the proposed trans fer of the land has not yet had leg islative approval will not interfere with approval by bond legal experts of the $50,000 airport bond Issue, in the opinion of Mr. Kay, for the rea son that the airport bonding bill on the ballot mentioned no particular site. Madison, Wis. (P) Twice as many women voted in the Wisconsin primary in April as four years ago. The increase was credited in some quarters to better dissemination of information regarding candidates and issues. BETTER ROOFS DRIVE OBJECT The dates May 21 to 26 inclusive, have ben set aside for "Pabco week" in Salem. During these dates the several distributors of Pabco pro ducts In this city will conduct an educational campaign on the value or equtping roofs with Pabco shin gles, preserving and beautifying in teriors and exteriors with Pabco paint and lacquers and using dust less rugs In many rooms of the house. An extensive display of shingles which will show the color harmony possible has been installed In the room located at 142 N. High street, next to the Elsinore theater, and rooming authorities who are also experts on color w'Ji give demon strations and valuable Information on roofs and their designs to peo ple of this city. "Pabco week" was officially an nounced yesterday by O. J. Myers, manager of the Spaulding Logging company, who stated: Home owners are becoming awakened to the fact that through out the United States has arisen a desire for more beautiful roofs and more harmonious color designs. Formerly a roof was regarded as Just a roof. But now it has become the crowning glory of every home. The builder studies the roof design with the same care that he bestows upon the foundation. He takes pains to equip a house with a roof that will protect the home against j fire. In fact, the very purpose ofj the coming Pabco shingle display I Is to show how beauty, distinctive I design and fire-retardant qualities i can be effectively combined in the ; 1928 roof. I "Every home ownerand every prospective owner ox a home Is In vited to visit this display. We want people to see for themselves what has been achieved Jn the way or colored roofs. I . can : personally promise that what will be seen will prove of genuine, money-saving val ue to everybody that tpkes pride Jn his or her home. "The exhibition of the fire-re tardant shingle will prove interest ing to everybody. These shingles represent a notable discovery. They throw off sparks easily and this factor alone has made them very popular with home owners in all parts of the United States. Since their discovery fire department heads have -succeeded in putting through laws compelling home own ers to Install them after fire has destroyed at least 20 per cent of the roof. They are quite practical also, as they can be laid directly over the old fashioned roofs. To make them even more desirable the Par affine Companies, Inc.. their man ufacturer, has made it possible to purchase Pabco shingles on the con venient payment plan." MOTORIZE FISHING BOATS. Rome (JP) The Italian govern ment has made funds ranging from $200 to $400 available to owners of fishing boats who wish to install marine engines. Italy has been im porting fresh fish because Italian fishing fleets have been unable to travel far from the coasts to the more productive banks. It Is be lieved that when engines are in stalled the domestic catch will be increased and the fish preserving industry expanded. REFRIGERATOR EXPORTS Washington (P) Exports of Amer ican-made electric refrigerators were nearly tripled last year as compared with 192G. The biggest buyers were Australia, British South Africa and Mexico. COUNCIL TO DECIDE FATE OF Mi (Con tinned from Page 1) where the petitions are found to be sufficient, lies with the council and the council alone, members of the zoning commission contend. They say it is now up to the council to roll up its sleeves and dispose of the entire matter. This the council, ap parently, Is not anxious to do in the face of the factional controversy stirred up in the Hollywood district by Maxwell's plans. There were indications at the last meeting of the council that an ef fort might bo made to side-step the issue entirely by tabling the whole matter for consideration at some indefinite time in the future. But reports have since been circulated about that in such an event Max well would likely carry his fight into the courts to compel some ac tion. Maxwell has hesitated to take, this step before, it is said, because while he might succeed in compel ling action on the petition there is no procedure by which he could deprive the council of the right to exercise Its full discretion, and an attempt to force determination of the matter might, therefore, be pre judicial to his Interests. The only other matter of import ance on the council calendar for tonight is the opening of bids on the East State street bridge. In the absence of Mayor LIvesley the canvass of the vote of last Fri day's city election will have to go over until the June 4 meeting.
