STORAGE EGGS
HIGH; OREGON
BERRIES ARRIVE
Portland (IP) Strength of the
egg position throughout the coun
try 1b not causing the normal
worry to speculative Interests. This
season with eggs practically at the
highest price in many years for ice
house movement, there appears .
more than the normal tendency to
purchase.
On the dairy exchange there was
no change in the price list for the
late session. In fact there Is lit
tle change in the price of eggs In
the country generally. Whatever
changes are noted are usually frac
tional advances,
There was no change in the but
ter market situation for the day.
All prices were stationary for the
late session of the dairy exchange
while along' the coast generally well
sustained values are shown. But
ter fat is firm here at the late ao
vance.
Evidently the heavy hen market
Is destined for a break Inasmuch as
present offerings are of much
greater than normal volume. All
other classes of chickens and other
poultry are firmly priced.
With lambs Just about holding
their own at late shaded prices, the
general market for country killed
, and alvM annears fully
steady. Beef Is scarce and In good

EXPERTS VARY
WITH LOCALITIES
ON FRUIT CROP
Surveys of the fruit sections with
estimates based upon blooms and an
early setting of the fruit indicate
an approximate yield of 50 per cfint
in both the prune and the cheery
orchards with conditions oadiy
spotted, growers are reporting.
Strawberries and loganberries in
general will probably yield a nor
mal crop win the estimates, ex
cept in certain sections, slightly un
der the crop of last year.
In the Zena district, north 01 sae
lem on the Wallace road n Polk
county, Frank Crawford, orchardist,
anticipates the heaviest prune crop
In the last three years with a high
yield. The blossoms were white this
year and heavy while in the last,
two years the blossoms nave been
yellowish and lighter. Cherries here
as elsewhere are spotted with some
orchards expecting to yield a good
crop and others a light tonnage.
More strawberries than last year is
the prediction of Crawford as the
blooms this year apparently escap
ed the frost. While the gooseberry
bloom was not particularly heavy
a good yield is anticipated.
George vlck this week made a
rough general survey of the orchard
sections and finds that there will
be more prunes than were expected
earlier In the city and predicts a 50
percent crop of good quality. Both
the high and lowland cherries are
spotted with the yield estimated
slightly under 60 percent and the
black varieties not to exceed 35 per
cent. Reports from the Dallas section
received by Frank Brown, of Salem,
vary from 20 to 50 percent with the
trees in the foothills heavily load
ed. The" valley will not exceed 50
percent in any orchard he believes
while the cherries are running from
10 to 50 percent depending upon the
location of the orchard.
Canneries are not yet ready to
voice an estimate but from what he
has seen and heard, W. G. Allen, of
Hunt Bros., expects a good yield of
both strawberries and loganberries,
with both a little lower yield than
last year,

town asking the council to save
some public money and no end of
annoyance by not installing them.
When the council met Monday
night the health and police com
mittee had discovered that the
lowest bid was $4000 and that the
appropriation for the purpose in
the budget was only $2450, for this
reason the committee recommend
ed that all bids be rejected.
Everyone thought that was the
bend of the matter, so when the pe
titions were introduced protesting
against the expenditure they were
not read, but merely received and
placed on file.
But a little later Alderman John
son, chairman of the committee,
moved that the city recorder be in
structed to ask for new bids on sig
nals for four intersections, and the
motion carried. It is presumed
that the bids on four will be within,
or come a little nearer to the ap
propriation.
However, that appropriation is an
interesting item. To make a place
for It in the city budget it was
necessary for the ways and means
committee to deduct that amount
from the police appropriation, de
priving the department of one of
ficer and cutting down the general
department allowance. How the
city is to pay for its usual addi
tional officers for special duty dur
ing the summer conventions and
the state fair is left with the gods.
The intersections where thj com
mittee now proposes to install the
traffic control equipment are State
and Commercial, State and Liberty,
State and High and Court and Liberty.
in the meantime the petitions 01
protest will continue to go the
rounds.
SAG IS GENERAL
New York () The cloud of
higher money rates hung over the
stock market again Tuesday and
prices generally lost ground despite
the sporadic efforts of pools to
bring about a general r.liy. Ralls
displayed a fairly firm undertone
in reflection of the favorable St.
Louis and OTallotn decision but
the Industries and public utilities
encountered further selling pres.
sure.
Several Issues gained a few
points in the buying movement that
got underway late. Commonwealth
Pawer, Packard and General Elect
ric sold 4 to 8 points above yes
terday's close, while Anaconda,
Wcstlnghouse and United Aircraft
rallied 4 to points from their low
figures. The closing was Irregular,
sales approximated 4,300,000 shares.
BUS FRANCHISE
AWARD HELD UP
ONO'HARAPLEA
A protest by Alderman O'Hara
caused the city council Monday
night to defer until the next regular
meeting final consideration of the
new franchise for the Southern Pa
cific street bus system.
O Hara's main objection was that
the measure gives the Southern Pa
cific company an exclusive franchise.
He said that the people 01 his ward
are against it, because they are now
enjoying competition In street trans
portation that affords a lower rate
than would oe enecuve unaer tne
exclusive franchise.
O'Hara also contended that under
the ordinance the city would not re
ceive a just compensation from the
company for wear and tear on
streets. This would be only $25 per
bus, he said, or a total of $225 a
year. If the company paid on the
same basis that stage lines pay for
use of the highways, namely three
fourths of a mill per passenger mile,
he said the amount would be $2500
or $3000 a year, which he believed
would be more nearly equitable.
O'Hara moved that It be deferred
and Wilkinson seconded the motion.
STRAWBERRIES IN
FROM LOCAL FIELD
First crate of lcoolly grown straw
berries appeared in the Salem mar
ket Tuesday morning. The berries,
said to be excellent in flavor, were
grown by P. O. Widner at Wheat
land Ferry. They will retail at 45
cents for two boxes.
Quantity supplies are expected
within the next week, according to
several Salem dealers.
Strawberries from California, 1
little green in appearance, are re
tailing in a few instances at 25
cents for two. Other better offer
ings are quoting a few cents higher,
to 15 cents per box. No southern
Oregon berries were reported in the
local market, chiefly because of the
high prices asked by growers for
first arrivals.

Officials and engineers of the water company are pinning their hopes
of ridding Salem water of Its discoloration and unpalatable taste through
use of temporary filter beds, as illustrated above, which are under con
struction at the island Intake of the system, "A" Indicates the present
pond, fed by water from the river through the chlorlnation plant and in
take pipes, and from which the water filters down Into the old cribs In
dicated In the lower right hand corner. Contamination of the filter
material and the old cribs are believed responsible for the present condition.
Through construction of the dyke (C) the upper half of the pond
will be completely separated from the lower, and the lower half will be
Ulizcd as a settling basin, with the levee (B) placed to causo a rotary
circulation of the water before U In diverted Into the three filter beds
(1, 2, and 3) completely cut off from the rest of the pond and from each
other by dykes.
On the bottom of the excavated beds lateral tiles (D) are being laid
to connect with trunk tiles (E) and over these will be placed a filter of
thoroughly washed sand, medium gravel and coarse rock, as Illustrated
by the "cross section" drawing In upper left hand corner.
Water diverted from the settling basin will be fed through a sluice
along the upper side of the filter beds and spread over the surfaces of
the beds through which it will filter down to be collected by the tiles
and carried Into the outlet pipe line and thence Into the suction lines
which carry (he supply across the slough to the downtown pumping plant
for distribution through the system.
When the filter beds are placed tn use the old cribs will be cut off
entirely at the gate valve Indicated In the drawing, and the city will be
supplied with water through a complete new system.

CITY AWAITS FOR
FILTRATION PLANT
(Continued from Page 1)
beds now under construction, were
outlined to the council Monday
evening by Wallace McCamant, at
torney for the company, from an
outline contained In a letter from
Earl O. Elliott, president of the
further proceedings against the
corporation. Action to suspend
company followed McComant's pre-
mentation and the reading of a let
ter from W. B. Morse, member of
the state board of health, approv
ing the temporary filter system be
ing installed at a cost in excess of
$12,000.
Expression of the opinion of the
council's special water committee
that a test of the new filter svstem
should be permitted before further
action Is taken by the city was con
tained In the motion of Alderman
Thompson, member of the com
mittee, that further proceedings tie
held in abeyance.
Completion of the new filter (il
lustrated on page 10) will deliver
water to the city distributing sys
tem through an entirely new supply
equipment and should, according to
engineers of the company and the
Doard oi health, eliminate the taste,
odor and discoloration which has
.been behind the public demand for
remedial action. .
Tentative plans of the company
for permanent improvement of th;
local system call for the expend!
ture of $381,000 during the coming1
year, two nundrea and nity thou
sand of this will go into the new
Intake and filter plant to be lo
cated at an unannounced point on
the west side oi the river and wen
above the city. Options on several
sites have been secured, the com
pany says, but a definite determi
nation on the location has not been
made. The permanent filter will
oe or tne latest and most approved
type, it is asserted.
Further expenditures will be
made on extensions of the distrib
uting system and enlargement of
the reservoir.
KALE FIELD ON
MADSEN FARM
Brush Creek The kale field
which is now In bloom on the Vic
tor Madsen farm on Paradise roo4
is attracting a great deal of atten
tion am, comment. The field con-,
tains four acres and has an excel-
lent stand, many of the flowed
stalks reaching as high as eight,
feet.
In 1908 M. J. Madsen began grow-;
Ing kale seed for wholesale flrmf
at Portland. Every year Mr. Madsei
selected three or four of his flnesC
kale plants from his entire field
These plants he used for his parent
seed stock. By this method of selec
tion he developed an unusually fini
strain of 1000-headed kale. In 1026,
when Mr. Madsen died, his son took
over the kale seed growing and has
continued to grow it since.
Usually kale is seeded in seed
rows in May or June and replanted
in July or August into the field.
Last year Mr. Madsen tried a new
experiment which he found so suc
cessful for putting in a largo field,
that he Just completed sowing hia'
1930 crop by the same method. He
used a corn planter, placing four or
five seeds in each hill in the per
manent field thus doing away with
the resetting job.
Mr, Madsen says that the Wil
lamette valley is nn excellent plac
in which to grow kale. During the
twenty-one years it has been grown
on the Madsen farm only twice, has
it been frozen.
