BUTTER
Wide Spread
Evidenced In
Quotations
Portland. (IK For the last ses
sion prime first cubes were off half
cent and first one cent a pound. The
differential or spread between top
and bottom cube butter Is but si's
cents a pound.
Make of butter Is increasing rap-
Idly all through this section which
calls for additional easiness in the
trade trend. However, prices In the
south are holding fairly well, al
though not as good as those In el
feet here.
Most of the present egg movement
appears In the direction of coolers.
The only price change for the late
session of the dairy exchange was
a loss of one cent for medium firsts.
This remains the low market of the
coast.
Active demand is continued In the
live chicken trade with no general
change In the price list. Receipts
are somewhat more liberal especially
as -regards small broilers. Under I'
pounds thev are hard to move.
Quality of present turkey arrivals
Is such as to keep the demand at a
low point. There is a limited call
for good stuff with former prices
still generally available.
There remains a scarcity of light'
weight quality calves along the
wholesale way. Receipts are inade
quate to take care of demand and
prices are firm. Heavier sorts are in
call at unusually good values. Hogs
are firm. Bulls and goats are In
demand,
Supplies of asparagus are more
liberal but not yet sufficient to
create a material price reduction, in
fact the best stuff Is still selling as
high as 30 cents pound with the low
at 25 cents.
Market for onions Is almost life
less at the source for carload lots
Some consignments are reported.
Growers are much more willing to
do business at $2.50 but there are
few buyers In sight. California is
expecting Texas Bermudas next
While some firms, more or less
loyal to local, are still trying to get
an extreme price for southern broc
coli, the Roseburg stock Is showing
Improved quality. In regular or large
crates sales are being made up to
$1.75 generally. A few higher or low
er. Orange market still congested with
small stuff.
Florida oranges moving fairly
well around $5.50 box.
New potatoes are listed at 12 to
14 cents pound. -Old
potato market remains quiet
with prices nominally ustea.
SURVIVORS LOOK ON
AS VICTIMS BURN
(Continued from Page 1)
The engines of both trains were
piled In a mass of wreckage. A bag
gage car on the east bound train
was wrecked, as were the colonist
car and a baggage car of the west
bound train. The next two cars were
derailed.
The only Identified dead were six
members of the train crews. They
were Conductor Barstead, Brakeman
Ferguson, Brakeman White, News
Agent Miller, Fireman Smith and
Express Messenger Strutt.
Paul Gauvreau, engineer of the
east bound train suffered fractures
of both legs and severe burns from
steam. G. V. Alexander, engineer of
the west bound train jumped at the
moment of impact and escaped with
slight injuries.
The west bound train running by
a switch was given by some of the
passengers as the cause of the col
lision but A, E. Warren, general
manager of the central division or
the railroad, said the cause had not
been determined.
Passengers asleep In the Pullmans
escaped.
Investigations by the Dominion
board of railway commissioners and
the Canadian National railways, in
addition to the official Inquest by
the coroner are expected to start
Thursday to determine the respon
sibility for the collision.
Reasons are sought for the appar
ent disregard of an order by which
the two Toronto-Winnipeg trains
were Intended to pass at a switch
near Drocourt.
REBEL CAPTURED
IN BATTLE SNOT
(Continued from PiiroI)
flic attack which had been expected
several hours previous.
Tho federal garrison numbers
2,500 effectives and the attacking
rebels seemed to be two to three
thousand strong, government offices
were Informed. The strongly en
trenched position of the federals and
the topography of the city, which
makes Mazatlnn easy to defend, In
clined the government to believe
that forces now there were amply
sufficient for the defense.
It was believed that General Cal
Jes would not immediately deploy
any of his men from Torrcon to
reinforce the Mazatlnn garrison.
General Calles is somewhere between
Torrcon and Chihuahua City In
pursuit of the rebels, tho govern
ment announced.
, Reports that the rebels had cap
tured Durango were received but
could not be confirmed.
A rebel advance on the federal
stronghold of Naco on the border
n.'.-o was threatened.
The insudgents claim that their
strategy Is to draw General Calles
northward Into a trap, to cut him off
t: m reinforcement and then to
launch a major drive against him,
Rebel headquarters reported the
capture of Puebla and Guanajuota
nea Mexico City, but there was no
confirmation of this.
General Jesus Agulrre, leader of
tho defeated Insurgent In Vera
Cru. was captured and Is under
stood to have been court martial led
nd executed.

West Stayton Goes
In For Cauliflower;
Plan Many Carloads
Cauliflower sufficient not only to supply the local de
mands, but also to provide between 50 ami 60 carloads for
shipment was arranged at a meeting of the West Stayton
Growers Association, corporation, which was held ii West
Stayton Wednesday night.
Details were made available Thursday through Roy
Hurst, ol the Hurst-Root company.
The latter organization Is to estah
llsh exclusive sales agencies through
an agreement reached at the West
Stayton meeting. That Is, the
Hurst-Root company will take care
of all cauliflower which Is to be
handled in carload lots.
Growers of the West Stayton dis
trict, Mr. Hurst said, are pledged to
put no less than 75 acres in cauli
flower. It Is entirely possible, It
was explained, that the acreage
may approximate 100 acres.
At the meeting E. R. Clark was
chosen president; V. O. Tyler, was
elected secretary and treasurer and
the directors selected are as fol
lows: Harley Johnson, J. J. Kendel,
A. 8. Woosley, W. O. Royce and R.
E. Tyler.
The deal was sponsored and made
possible, financially, through the
efforts of J. W. Mayo, of the Stay
ton bank.
PRUNE THRIP DUE
TO SHOW HEAD SOON
Dallas The prune thrip which
caused such conversational stir
during the past two seasons should
put In Its appearance either this
week or next. The amount of dam
age caused by this Insect has been
a debatable issue and the matter
of controlling It Is still In the ex
perimental stage.
Trials conducted over a period of
two or three years have indicated
that considerable success is exper
ienced when a spray consisting of
two gallons of oil emulsion and
three-fourths pint of nicotine sul
phate are mixed with 100 gallons of
water. The resulting spray should
be put on as soon as the thrips
make their appearance and a fine
driving spray is of Importance.
From Inquiries received in the
office of the county agent there
are indications that some orchard
lsts arc planning on using this
spray this season.
The thrip put In its appearance
March 12 in 1026, March 17, 1927
and on March id in Jiran.

CHERRY POOL
Expressing great confidence In the
territory surrounding Salem and
manifesting this confidence by In
creasing their cherry pool and by
leasing the Terminal Ice & Cold
Storage planta .plant which, It
claims, Is one of the best equipped
in the northwest, the Hurst-Hoot
company, of Salem, have declared
their Intentions for the coming
season.
"Our pre-cooling rooms," explained
Roy Hurst Thursday, "are equipped
so as to cool the fruit before ship
ment with dry cold air. This new
arrangement we believe is a great
and very necessary step forward in
the interests of the cherry and prune
shipping Industry.
"This new arrangement will put
out Willamette valley deals on a
par with all the better deals In the
northwest."
Mr. Hurst again expressed con
fidence in tho Willamette valley
and said he believed the organization
with which he Is identified should
ship from Salem no less than 50
carloads of cherries.
"It is our intention' he added,
"to make Salem the hub of our
deals, and al cherries from outside
will be brought to this city.
Offices of his company are located
on Front street, one block east of
the Kings plant. It will be opened
May 15, at which time growers are
urged to visit the fruit men.
GERMANY OFFERED
CUT IN WAR DEBT
(Continued from Page 1)
leaders of German industry and
finance.
The figure of 1,750,000,000 marks
Li understood to represent repara
tions payments of all categories.
Tills would entail a reduction of
the present annuities under the
Dawes plan of between seven and
eight hundred million gold marks.
The 1,750,000,000 mnrks figure was
guarded with the greatest secrecy;
consequently, when it was learned,
there was no attendant explanation
or comment to indicate the number
of annuities, or If as generally sup
posed. It was the first f inure of a
schedule of rising annual totals.
Thus it appeared that the min
imum which Germany's creditors
will accept Is In fact the equivalent
of the fourth year's Dawes annuity,
payment of which was completed
August 31, 1928.

COUNTY OFFERS
POISON BARLEY
FOR SQUIRRELS
At the present time the one ob
ject which is claiming more atten
tion from more farmers than any
other object Is the squirrel.
so are willing to testify 8. H.
Van Trump, county horticulturist;
County Judge Slegmund and Com
missioner J. E. Smith. They said
so Wednesday.
One-half ton or poisoned barley
has been prepared by the county
and now may be purchased from
various places In various towns, it
was explained.
in Salem the barley may be
bought at the county treasurer's!
office. In other communities itj
may be purchased from the com
munity banks.
"It is true, certainly, that many
persons even fanners don't real
ize how much the 'gray digger' can
do", said Mr, Van Trump.
And, In addition, said Commis
sioner Smith: "Ask the farmers to
poison, not only for their own
fields, but for fields adjacent. Ask
them to place poison all around the
fields even along the boundary
lines In some Instances."
The squirrels, it was explained,
are worst when they burrow un
der. It is then that they accom
plish the most harm.-.
It is now right now that the
quirrel should be looked after, Mr.
Van Trump said. One mother
squirrel alone today will prob
ably oe responsible for six later
on.
The damage which might spring
from this single squirrel, it was ex
plained, might rmount to as much
as $20.
Wheat and corn are damaged
chiefly by the squirrel, it was ex
plained. St. tVncent De Paul from time to
time said their rosaries in low tones.
Poch's face was thin, but not emaci
ated. The weight he lost during his
long illness had but sharpened the
reatures so.iamiiiar to all the world.
His bronzed skin had paled only a
little with confinement in a sick
room, and still had the sunburnt
color of a man who has passed most
of his life in the open air. So great
was the desire of the people of
Paris to pay their personal tribute
that by mid-afternoon, crowds pack
ed both sides of the Rue de Grenelle
for the whole length of the block in
which the Foch home Is situated.

while others kept the crowd outline
in order.
Several thousand men and women
of all ages and conditions of life
were standing silently in the
neighborhood. At 5 o'clock the crowd
had grown so dense that squadrons
of the mounted republican guard
with plumed helmets and burnished
cuirasses were summoned to keep
the streets clear.

the legislature meeting In Salem
and on account of the squawks we
have been having, that all salesmen
stay out of Marion and Polk coun
ties until after the legislature ad
journs." E. A. Hay, state manager of the
organization, adds that "we expect
a certain number of squawks which
we feel capable of handling. How
ever, we must insist that the above
be adhered to until after the legis
lature adpourns.
Mr. Carson has been assured by
the Portland Better Business bu
reau that he will have no difficulty
In securing Indictments against
whomever he finds associated with
the organization. According to the
Portland bureau, It is operating In
violation of the law and has no
state license.
A number of Marlon county
farmers already have complained to
the district attorney's office. The
main difficulty, at present, seems to
be the district attorney to get in
touch with some representative of
the organization. The Portland bu
reau, which has thoroughly Investi
gated, sprks of the club's dishonest
methods" and its members' "worth
less membership."
Now that the legislature has ad
journed, It Is believed, representa
tives of the U. S. Auto Service club
may again make bold to operate in
Marion and Polk counties.

Wesely found In his canvass ol

berry growers had contracted their
