DAIRY PRICES
UNCHANGED ON
PORTLAND MART
Portland, (IP There were no
changes in dairy product prices
here Tuesday. Market for eggs was
considered firm at the present pric
es while butter probably is slightly
easier. There has been a large
mount of cube butter coming Into
this market, and, according to re
ports, dealers are now working off
surplus.
The egg situation Is definitely
strengthened by the fact that stor
age holdings are below a year ago.'
Production is holding up well and
as long as quality remains cod sis
tent with offerings earlier in the
season, there should be little change
In prices.
According to reports, cheese man
ufacturers are having a fully nor
mal season. Production in certain
areas has fallen off, but prices have
remained relatively firm.
The first local gravenstein apples
of the season were brought in from
Tigard Tuesday. There were but a
- lew boxes. Larger supplies will be
available within a comparatively
short time. The apples were sold
on the Eastslde Farmers' market at
$2 a box.
The first shipment of Bartlett
pears of the season was received
Tuesday from California. They are
priced to the trade at $5 a box.
Price advances are predicted in
the near future for watermelons.
This time finds the melon season i
about finished in and around De
lano with prospects of a short wait
before any large quantity comes in
Irom Turlock.
Blackcaps are nearing the end of
the season and the consequent scar
city has caused an advance of 25
cents a crate on quotations to the
trade. The price Tuesday was $2.50.
Telephone peas advanced to ten
cents a pound Tuesday. There have
been relatively few peas coming in
recently.. The season is about over
and there la still a good eastern de
mand for first quality stuff.
FAR EASTERN CRISIS
GROWSJESS ACUTE
(Continued from page 1)
captured the Chinese river steam
er Ilan, taking prisoner the wife
and baby daughter of Ray Talbot,
American.
The Russians sent word to Tal
bot, who Is deputy commissioner
of Chinese maritime customs at
Tahei-Ho, across the Amur from
Blagovesrchensk, that both were
"comfortable and being treated
kindly."
George C. Hanson, American
consul at Harbin, Manchuria, wir
ing official reports of the capture
nere said mends oi Talbot at Har
bin said Mrs. Talbot was of Rus
sian birth.
CAPTURE VESSELS
The Russians also have captured
ine umnese merchantman Hal-
cheng, which they are holding near
Blagoveshchensk. Japanese news
agency reports, unconfirmed else
where, said a Chinese river gun
boat had been captured by the
Russians on the Amur.
Observers here today estimated
seven divisions of Chinese infantry
and one of artillery had bene as
sembled In the Manchuli region,
northwestern terminus of the
Chinese Eastern railway, while
60,000 soldiers are supposed to be
gathered et Pogranlchnaya, at the
eastern end of the railroad.
Chinese and Japanese news
agencies here were filled - today
with continued alarming reports
of troop movements -along the
Manchurlan borderland, and the
stories of refugees arriving at Har
bin. Most of the stories were un
confirmed and neutral observers
were of the opinion that there
had been no actual overt act
either by Russia or China unless
It was that purported to have taken
place in seizure of the Chinese
gunboat
New York, (P The Commercial
cable company today stated It had
been advised by the Great Northern
Telegraph Company that normal
telegraphic communication with
Hankow, "China, had been restored
Communication on this Una was
greatly delayed recently by events
growing out of the Manchurlan
crisis.
NEW NOTE DRAFTED
Shanghai IP In keeping with
Its assurance to the United States
government that It desired an ami
cable settlement of Its current dis
pute with the Soviet union, the
Nanking government was drafting
an additional note Tuesday, asking
Russia not to misunderstand China's
first answer to the Soviet ultima
tum. The note, drafted by the foreign
office, reiterated the specific In
tentions of the republic of China
and its desire that both govern
ments appoint representatives to
settle the questions which arose
from Nanking's seizure of the Chin
ese Eastern railway In Manchuria,
The semi-official Kuo Mln news
agency ai?o announcd that the
Chinese government was doing all
In Its power to come to an amicable
understanding with the Soviet un
ion. The agency stated that official
China "would continue to follow Its
declared policy of peaceful negotia
tions with the Soviet authorities.
The Chinese government," the
news agency stated, "la determined
to refrain from measures other than
those of a self defensive nature In
the event -of any belligerent action
by the Soviet military authorities."
The statement added that should
the Soviet government violate the
Kellogg pact, "thus upsetting the
peace of the world, the national
government of China would place
the matter in the hands of the ad
ministrative council of the league
of nations for Investigation and
settlement.

berries Is about over.
Some good quality peas sold out
at 6'4 to six cents pound. These were
somewhttt better than the average

SWIMMING POOL
FOR SALEM SOUGHT
(Continued from page 1)
cials in securing excavation of the
pool without additional cost, and
the big city excavator has been
moved onto the ground and Tues
day started moving dirt for the ex
cavation.
No definite plans for establishing
the pool, other than getting the hole
dug and, perhaps, utilizing It with
out any lining until such time as
the needed money can be secured
have been made.
Rough preliminary estimates on
the cost of a desirable pool run from
$12,000 to $15,000 and, members of
the park committees explain, they
nave no finances whatever with
which to meet the expense. Through
interested private individuals they
nope mac tne money can be raised
without the necessity of levying any
additional city tax or issuing bonds.
The general plans call for a pool
about 150 feet long by 75 feet wide
varying In depth from one to nine
feet, lined with concrete and flanked
by concrete platforms and orna
mental pillar lights. Bath houses,
spring boards, slides and other e
quipment would also be ultimately
Included as funds were made avail
able. The cost of lining such a pool
would alone run in excess of $7000,
it is estimated.
But in the present work the park
committees are spending nothing.
The city is simply accommodating
its need for dirt and gravel with
which to complete the street fill to
the desire to get the pool enterprise
under way, and Is taking the requir
ed material out of the pool site in
stead of hauling It from various oth
er sources scattered over the city.
There is a possibility that the big
hole may be used temporarily as a
wading and swimming pool In the
near future. Homer Smith, of the
park board explains, by piping a wa
ter supply from the mill ditch which
borders the north side of the park
in sufficient supply to keep the pool
full of running water in spite of the

The lay of the ground in the auto
park makes It an ideal location for
a pool, those Interested in the pro
ject point out. The mill race on a
higher level than the grounds would
give an ample gravity flow of clean
water, and the drainage Into Pringle
creek, which Is several feet lower
than the pool elevation would be,
would permit of a circulating sys
tem that would keep the water con
stantly changing. The new Church
street bridge with Its stairway lead

easy access to the pool, and the
location of the park near the center

GRAIN CROPS IN
VALLEY FINE AS
HARVEST OPENS
Harvesting of the grain crops In
the valley Is Just getting under
way with a little wheat cut and
expecting to be well under way next
week. The grain crops look very
fine this year. Most of the wheat
will be cut with combines, the
threshing machine rapidly falling
out of the picture. Some of the new
combines this year not only cut and
thresh the grain, but also clean out
the weed seeds and drop them into
separate sacks so they can be de
stroyed. On the Patty ranch over at
Amity where a combine has been
used for a few years, Patty estimates
that his yield has been increased
20 per cent by the spreading of the
straw on the ground. -
The oat crop also Is .fine with
spring oats looking particularly
good. The new O. A. C. barley No.
7 Is proving a wonderful success,
according to H. O. White, local seed
dealer. This Is being cut and thresh
ed now and he states it will run a
round 40 to 50 bushels to the acre
and bring 135 a ton at the pres
ent time. This should net the far
mer around (20 to S25 a ton. There
Isn't a heavy crop of this, to is year
due to shortage of seed last year,
and he expects practically all the
clean barley from this strain this
year will be used for seed purposes.

drop for English rye grass. He says
that this looked very bod during
the winter but the stand is now
looking fine. s
The hay crop Is now Dractlcallv

hay crops around here for many
years.
