I AGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY. JULY 3, 1929 LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS Portland, Ore. (U) In the absence of an established exchange, dairy produce dealers were somewhat In the dark Wednesday as to values. A call on various wholesale houses Indicated that prices were little changed from the last quotations given out by the exchange before It temporarily suspended operation. The only changes were In the egg market. In this, standard firsts were being quoted half cent down at 32 cents and medium extras up half cent to 31 cents. Butter prices remained unchanged throughout. In the absence of a recognized ex change, dealers intend to base prices on the San Francisco and Seattle quotations, according to talk in the trade. There also was talk Tuesday of forming some fort of exchange or mutually benefitting association to discuss market conditions until the regular exchange begins operation gain. It so happens that all dairy pro duce is relatively steady at this season so the dealers find it less difficult to quote prices than it might be otherwise. Wholesale quotations on canta loupes were down to $4.75 on best grade Jumbos. 'Thirty-sixes" were quoted at $4.25 and 27 s at $3.25. Watermelons, under demand for the holiday, ruled fully firm In the wholesale trade in spite of a chain store price war which took large slices off the ruling prices. Wat ermelons were quoted firm Wednes day at 3',4 cents to the trade. Wholesale prices on turnips were dropped ten cents a dozen bunches Wednesday. The supply has been Increasing during the past few days and is responsible for the 66 cent price now ruling. Fresh figs were quoted Wednes da at an even dollar. This was 25 cents under the previous day's prices and reflects a condition of over-supply at this time. After this Is remedied, dealers believe a better price will rule. There was an acute shortage of large oranges here. One large wholesale produce house was unable to offer anything larger than the 352 size Wednesday. i CALIFORNIA RESORTS DESTROYED BY FIRE (Continued from page 1) district, aided the army of 4,000 fire fighters in turning the con flagration away from the town I shortly after midnight. The fire then leaped up Cascade canyon, along the west slope of Mount Tam alpais, but firemen believed that It could do little damage in that di rection. Power lines were severed when the fire reached near the down town section Tuesday and fire fighters worked only by the light of the conflagration last night. Scores of persons who had lost their homes remained downtown throughout the night and many were cared for at the emergency relief station established by the Red Cross in the Northwestern Pacific depot. ONE MAN MISSING William Thomas, assistant mana ger of the Mount Tamalpais and Mulr Woods railroad, was the only person who remained unaccounted for. He was last seen Tuesday afternoon. Several fire fighters re ceived burns, cuts and bruises. A detachment of soldiers from the Uresidio of San Francisco who were sent to help fight the fire re turned to their headquarters Wed nesday morning. New estimates of the damage in dicated that more than 130 homes had been damaged or destroyed and that the loss would be consid erably in excess of $1,000,000. Des pite the continued effort of some 3000 men to curb the blaze, citizens feared that if the wind, which blew the flames away from the town, would change directions it would drive the conflagration back through Blythedale canyon, which was hard hit Tuesday. EM UK It 3 SPREAD FLAMES Burning debris, thrown high In the air by the force of the confla gration, menaced property over a wide area. Millionaires and trades men, servants and volunteers fought side by side to save the little cot tages and the pretentious homes in the wooded beauty of the mountain slope. Mill Valley's water supply was reported to have been somewhat re-1 plenished during the lull In the fire early Wednesday but as the flames I spread farther up the canyons the city mains were of little use, as only occasionally were there fire-' plugs In the outlying sections. , The Cascade canyon contains many pretentious summer homes. The blaze fed Itself on some of these places as It climbed toward the top of storied Mount Tamalpais, fol lowing what formerly was known as the pipeline trail. KAII.KOAU DAMAGED Service on the quaint little 16 mile Mount Tamalpais and Mulr Woods railroad, known as "the crooked est railroad in the world," was suspended. The winding tracks, over which specially geared engtnes pull carloads of sightseers from Mill valley to the top or the 4,000 foot mountain, had been so bent and twisted by the heat that trains could not run. The fire Tuesday destroyed one train. Fire Marshal E. B. Gardener an nounced that the flames were men acing the famous tavern at the summit of Mount Tamalpais and that unless "plenty of men were available at once to fight the fire another heavily populated section containing costly homes would be roomed. Fire, departments from ft half d ox en towns near Mill Valley and a section of the Ban Francisco fire department remained on the Job, leading hundreds of organized vol unteers to the fight.

TO DRY LOGANS Holland Jory states that he con templates operating hi drier In the Liberty section again this year and plans to dry some logans and blackcaps, probably firing up next week for a start. He doesn't expect so many logans to be dried this year but will probably handle quite & Jag of blackcaps. He will operate the drier on his own this year without ' any partnership as he has in some past years. STOCKS GAIN AS I CALL MONEY RATES TUMBLE New York (LP Leading stocks gained sharply Wednesday, many rising to new peaks on the stock ex change. U. S. Steel came within a fraction of 200, and records were set by American Can, General Elec tric, Eastman Kodak, and others. This strength in issues with strong banking sponsorship, however, fail ed to bring up the entire market. Rails continued strong and many rose to new peaks, but utilities were sold for profit as were coppers and many special Issues. Call money renewed at 12 per cent and then dropped to 8 and finally to 6 per cent, lending In the out side market at five per cent. This indication that the month-end and mid-year settlements had been cleaned up helped sustain the list against the decline to profit taking for over the holiday tomorrow. Gains were in the majority all day. They ranged to four or five points in dozens of Issues. Millions of dollars were added to the market value of the leaders. Steel's mar ket value this week hat been en hanced more than $60,000,000, and substantial increases were made by General Electric, American Can and other leaders. The boom in rails continued. N. Y. Central. Atchison, M. K. and T. Penns., Atlantic Coast Line, Alle gheny Corporation and several oth ers made new tops, bringing the rail average into new hgh territory. RAINIER CLIMBERS TUMBLE TO DEATH (Continued from page 1) zel, 2515 Shore Drive, Milwaukee, Wis., an attorney returning from the Shriners convention held recently at Los Angeles. Greathouse was employed by the I Park company during the summer months as a guide. Wetzel was a visitor at the park. The known injured are L. H. Brigham of Seattle, veteran summit guide and athletic director at Gar field high school in Seattle and Robert Strobel of Tacoma, assistant guide. The other two members of the party whose condition has not been determined, are D, Yancy Brandshaw, 48, Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge Mass., and E. P. Weath erly, 5911 Walnut avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Both Bradshaw and Weatherly were visitors at the park. The six were returning from the summit in a raging blizzard when one member of the party slipped and plunged over the side of a deep crevasse, pulling his five compan ions after him. They landed on an ice shelf between 50 and 75 feet below the top of the crevasse, where they were barely able to cling while the blizzard beat down upon thenr. Strobel was the first to crawl along the shelf to safety. He made his way out Tuesday morning and started down to the cabin at Camp Muir, which Is 10, 000 feet above sea level. Here he notified workmen who were pre paring the rabln for summer use. Charles Brown of Tacoma, a vet eran mountain and government ranger, who was working at Camp Mnir, started out alone to rescue the other five members of the par ty. His feat was described by gov ernment and park company offic ials as one of the most daring rescue attempts In the history of the Paci fic northwest mountaineering. Staggering against a terrific wind. Brown made his way up the Ice chutes above Gibraltar, where he met another member from the par ty who has not been Identified. Brown lowered the man down the chutes and continued until he found tracks of another unidentified mem ber of the party who had escaped from the crevasse and wandered to a long snow slide on Ingraham gla cier, north of Gibraltar rock. Brown followed the tracks down the steep snow and ice Incline until, about a half mile away, he found a man ly ing unconscious. Brown made several desperate but futile efforts to carry the man up the incline. He then dug a groove in the snow and left the Injured man and went for help. He succeed ed In reaching Paradise Valley late Tuesday night with meager re ports of the accloent. Rainier Park company officials. Major O. A, Tomlinson, superinten dent of the park and Homer Har nett, chief ranger, at once organ ized searching parties of guides and rangers and sent them out to res cue the Injured men. Brown told officials of the park company that Brigham and the other men who were Injured were not fatally hurt but that their in juries were serious. A staff physi cian was sent from Paradise to Camp Mulr with the first rescue party. Strobel told Brown that they were crossing an ice bridge over the cre vasse when one of the party slip ped, pulling all six outside after him. He reported that one member of the party had been slipping and railing much of the time on the descent. He said that when they reached the Ice bridge, a wind of terririo force hunt this man from the bridge, HAY CROP TO BE LARGEST IN RECENT YEARS Farmers in this section are now cutting and baling what promises to be one of the largest hay crops in many years. When it is realized that statistics compiled by the chamber of commerce in conjunc tion with local produce men show that the hay crop is the third larg est money crop of all agricultural and horticultural productions here, the importance of wnat is going on right now comes a little nearer home. Statistics at the chamber of com merce show that in 1928 there were 36.000 acres of hay in Marion coun ty and 25,000 acres in Polk county with an 81,000 ton yield in this county and a 42,000 ton yield in Polk county. The Marion county crop had an estimated value of $1,722,000 which brought it third in the productive list, only hops and wheat exceeding it in money value. In 1929 there was another good yield and farmers in numerous cas es realized heavy returns on their hay because of winter conditions which sent the prices soaring as the season advanced, although it was virtually impossible to sell any hay for anything but a small price until the winter snows had hit the dairy men and also the eastern counties. The estimate now is that the oat and vetch hay crop is In excess of that of last year, while the acreage of clover is not quite so large but a good yield. The oat and vetch acre age is probably somewhat larger than last year. For a time last winter things looked bad for a good share of the acreage of oats and vetch which had been raised from the ground by the freezing weather. In fact quite a bit of this was resown in the spring; And for a time in the spring the spring sown hay looked bad. But late spring rains changed the whole complexion of the situation and as a result a bumper yield on a bumper acreage will combine to make an enormous crop of fine quality hay. The same reasons which sent the price soaring last winter also clean ed up the valley hay crop and there is no carryover. The year before there was some carryover of poorer quality hay but as near as can be learned virtually all the hay in the valley but the new crop coming on has been cleaned up. Some little hay is being sold now loose in the shock by those who were caught short at the tail end of the winter and some who sold hay high are buying in cheap on the new crop. What happens to this year's crop in the market line will depend a good deal on next winter condi tions as virtually all the hay baled now, or a, good percentage of It, will be stored against winter sales. FOR THE LOVE OF A LADY (Continued from Page 6 ready?" the captain suggested. Helen stood awhile as U lost In thought, then, turning suddenly, gave Sir Richard her hand: said she: "The Duchess, sir, bade me say she expects you at the Moat House, and will be happy to welcome you whenever you will, and indeed so shall II" Then she made him a stately curtsey, stooped to kiss lit tle Shuri, and was gone, wth Cap tain LKspard attendant. "Master," said old Truffeni, 'you as stands up for the 'poor folk' when us meets again, mebbe the 'poor folk' stands up for you ay. ay, for death shall be all about ye; ah, and I sees troubles creeping on ye, wi' dangers a-many, but love shall come also, and by it sail ye live, for love Is strongest of all. "Love?" he repeated. "Verily, young master, grieve not and mind ye the Hand o Glory." At this, he glanced heavenward, but saw the radiant cloud was van- lsed quite away. He stood awhile lost In wondering speculation; when he looked around, it was to find himself alone. "Days ago." said my lady, frown ing up through the branches of the cherry-tree, "I gave the man your message. And the man comes not. Well, confound the man!" "Fie, Helen!" murmured Angela. "Remember how wickedly we have misjudged the unfortunate gentle man, how cruelly we have wounded his sensibilities." "Say, rather, his detestable prldel" cried my lady." . "And sure,' quoth the Duchess, "pride is always so very detestable In other folk!" "And alas," sighed Angela, shak ing her pretty head, "oh me, the poor gentleman so soon to dlel "Die, child to die? Is It Sir Richard Guyfford you mean?" "Indeed, Helen! They say he Is certainly doomed. "But two gentlemen may surely fight without killing each other." "Ay, ay" nodded the Duchess. '"True enough, my dear, some gentlemen may but these won't; shure here will be murderous busi ness, and nothing but dith Itself shall prevent em killing each other. "Nay." sighed Angela. "If either kill f other, 'tis poor Sir Richard must die.' "Heavens above!" exclaimed my lady. "And why must you be so sure, little fool?" "Nay why, Helen, oh, my dear. why so angry with poor me?" cried Angela, amazed at Helen's sudden rust of passion. "Because, mitt, if anyone be killed twill be all your doing I ' "Mine? Oh, Helen I Ob, my dear est I" walled Angela How how am X to blame?" "For writing your three times ac cursed letters, for mixing up your villains, cried Helen, between snapping white teeth. Whereat An gela bowed her meek, pretty head and wept softly. So Helen, leaning back In her chair, frowned up through the shady branches of the cherry-tree -galn, Angela wept, and the Duchess, fin ger and thumb suddenly arrested In her snuffbox, watched Helen's abstracted face with ft singular ln trest; thus was silence awhile save for Angela's weeping. 'Ah, kind heaven aid me!" she moaned at last. And him I" exclaimed Helen.! "And him!" "Who?" demanded the Duchess, sharply. "Whoever lies in most danger" answered Helen. Ha!" exclaimed the Duchess. "Angela, me dear choild, don't sni vel; 'twill make your pretty little nose like a strawberry." 'Oh. I know I knowl" wailed Angela ( "and Mr. Trumpington ex pected! Jut how may I help my tears and Helen so -cruel? And bow was I to know Sir Richard was not Mr. Julian I mean that Sir Julian was Oh, my poor heart is break ing, I vow!" My lady Helen uttred a sniff; whereupon Angela brldeled and turning upon Helen like a defiant dove, ensued the following: Angela: Oh, how should I know you was so vastly interested in the man? Helen. (Languidly) What man, pray? Angela: In lOve with him! Helen (Disdainfully) In love I? Who with, miss? Angela: (Desperately) Why Sir Richard Guyfford! Oh, you may flash your eyes at me but you're blushing, you know yov are! For I know, ma'am, I know! Han't you been riding every day in your new est French habit a purpose to meet him? Hant you been breakfasting with him alone in arbours? And gypsies telling your fortunes? Oh, I know! Captain Despard told me, so don't deny it, ma'am, don't dare deny It! Helen : (Sternly) Hold your tongue, miss, and weep! Weep till your eyes are like gosse berries and your nose like a carrot. Be per fectly assured that I despise you for an odious rattle! Duchess: (Closing snuffbox with snap) Gemini! And that proves It! Helen: Looking down her shape ly note, beneath disdainful -drooping lashes) Proves what, I'll beg leave to know? Duchess : Yourself knows 'tis what you've known and I've guessed this week past 'tis in love y' are! Helen: (Superbly contemptous) Madam, tis odious suggestion! Duchess: Tis love him ye do an' himself no better a poverty-struck squire! Helen: (Recoiling gracefully) Now, madam, you shock me Suf fer me to retire, for I protest to heaven you Duchess: Your fine airs an' gra ces are wasted on me that dandled ye on this knee a squalling brat. Helen: (In hushed voice) Hor rors! Oh, most revolting! (She shudders, covers her face and, mag nificent in defeat, turns and sweeps from them, across the lawn and so, majestically into the house.) Then the Duchess laughed till she choked, and chuckled until her whole person and great elbow chair, shook with suppressed merri ment, and Angela checked her weeping to stare. Tis small, clever soul y' are!" quoth the Duchess, at last "Come, let me kiss thee." But oh, dear ma'm, my Helen surely hates me!" "Av course she does, for the mo ment, but 'twill pass; Helen's fur ies never last But, b' the sweet faints, if he be not In love she'll be thinking o love, and. thinking on 't, she'll be head over ears in loves afoe she knows it.

STATE CLOVER CONFERENCE AT CORVALLIS Dallas The Oregon clover seed conference has been announced for Corvallis on Friday. July 12. At this conference the important con sideration of the sale of our seed in the eastern markets will receive a thorough discussion by Dr. A. J. Pieters of the U. S. bureau of plant industry who has had charge of the investigational work pertaining not only to our seed, but to the impor tations from all over the world. Clover seed grwers ' and dealers have become thoroughly alarmed over the refusal of eastern farmers and buyers to handle our seed. This refusal is based on the claim that our seed will not stand their rigid winters. Clover forms an essential and important part in the cropping plans of the entire Willamette val ley and may be referred to as the keystone of our fertility. So much hinges upon the development of seed markets that this conference will undoubtedly receive widespread at tendance. People closely In touch with clover seed marketing have been aware that this was impending for some time and in this connection the ex tension service has been endeavor ing to obtain seed strains that would produce seed that would be accept able in the eastern states and we have growing in Polk county at this time, four such fields. This will be one phase of the clover problem which will be discussed In the meet ing on the 12th. County Agent J. R. Beck has dis cussed this matter with a number of farmers and with officials of the state college and now he is urging the attendance of a representative group of growers and dealers from this county. CLOSE CALL FOR PETE REINHART (Continued from page 1) gasoline was pouring into the car burator. "Thanks for the quick service this a. m.," read ft message dropped by Reinhart. "It was a close call. Did not have as much gas hvt night as we thought we did, and never saw such a thick fog as this a. m. "Next time you refuel us put a white board on the Pigeon (refuel ing ship) and we'll know she's com ing. "Don't want to take any more chances like this last one. That was enough for me. "Send up about 125 gallons this afternoon and, by the way, we are all out of water had none since 11 o'clock last night. I'd rather have water than food, do don't for get to include it. "Say, that coupe (emergency plane) made ft fine contact this morning. This fog Is hell for us. Motor is running fine, turning about 1600 revolutions. Good by. Rein hart." The atmosphere was heavy over Cnulver City and the fliers planned to head Inland. An incident of the morning's re fueling which saved the flight waj brought out with the statement of airport officials that Mendell had performed one of the finest feats of Hying on record here by piloting 1 is plane over the field for the re fueling although he could see noth ing in the dense fog. He Just missed telephone poles end "flew in blind," officials said. It was wonderful piloting. We idn't know he was coming in until some bird in Hollywood phones us Mendell ha ddropped a message and he had retrieved it. The message was one asking for gas and we al most failed to be ready for him when he hit the field." Culver City, Calif.

This carried the biplane on until 7:20 a. m.. when the balky refueling ship was started and 50 additional I gallons were given the Angeieno.

Pilots Roy L. Mitchell and Byron K. Newcomb flew on Wednesday toward the world's rec ord for endurance flights as they lengthened the hundred-odd hours they have remained aloft. The fliers were well into their fifth day of constant flying, notes dropped to the field indicated they were in the highest o: spirits. A celebration with aerial fireworks was held at the field Tuesday night at 10:30 when the airmen parsed the 100th hour. SHARP GAINS REGISTERED IN WHEATJRICES Chicago (IP) Sharp gains were registered in the wheat market late Wednesday when reports of large export taking united with the bullish crop reports to cause a rush to buy before the holiday. Winni peg led the way for Chicago and the tone at both points was ex tremely nervous. December corn showed unexpected strength. Oats were fractionally higher. At the close wheat was 2 to 2 1-8 cents higher; corn was up 7-8 to 1 7-8 cents and oats were 1-2 to 5-8 cent higher. Provision were steady to slightly higher. The higher market at Liverpool and the fact that no rains had fal len over the Canadian spring wheat provinces was responsible for an opening as much as 7-8 cents high er. On the advance, however, there was rather heavy selling, and the reports of rains in Minnesota and the Dakotas tended to encour age this pressure. Buenos Aires was again sharply higher, the July at that market rising above the Kansas City figure for the first time this season. New wheat ar rivals at southwestern terminals were much larger. Cash prices were unchanged to '4 cent lower. Receipts were 11 cars. Corn drew better support and was fractionally higher most of the session. Trading was heavy but consisted largely of spreading op erations between the July and the September. Cash prices were un changed. Receipts were 157 cars. Oats were firm on prospects of ft light 1929 crop. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 42 cars. We are Buying. and Receiving Royal Anne Cherries WILLAMETTE VALLEY PRUNE ASN. TRADE & HIGH STS.

Elliott Conservative enough to be absolutely ' safe Liberal enough to satisfy reasonable people NEW RARLEY RIPENS EARLY, YIELDS HEAVILY D&llu There : one crop in Polk county this year that has aroused considerable comment. Many folks in driving about have noticed grain that began to ripen two and three weeks ago. In being so much ahead ot all other cereals it arous ed interest. This new grain is a barley known as OAC No. 7. According to the records of the Oregon Experiment station at Corvallis this barley was developed tome fifteen years ago as a selection from the varie..' known as Tennessee winter barley and was first distributed to the farmers of the Willamette valley in 1917. Several farmers in the county have erown this barley on a small scale until the seed supply became adequate and the yields were so Dromising that in the fall of 1937 quite a number of plantings were made and these were greatly In creased in the fall of 1928. One of the pioneer growers of this particular variety of barley Is Prank Loughary of the Elkins district Mr Louuhary has had this on his plan for nine or ten years with yields run ning around fifty bushels per acn being fairly common. This OAC No. 7 is known to plant breeders as a barley of the true spring type although under our con ditions it is usually fall planted In some instances it has been known to yield as high as 70 bushels per acre and Is consistently a good producer. It makes an excellent hog feed and mixes well In dairy rations. One field of this barley was bound as early as the 21st of June and most of it will be bound within the next few days making it by far the earliest grain to be harvested In this county.
