Big Dirigible Hamburg, VP) The Hamburg American line tourist agency an nounced Friday night that the position of the dirigible Oral Zep pelin at 3 p. m. Greenwich time (10 a. m. E. 8 T) was on the east era side of the Ural mountains, about 135 miles from the river Obi, (also known as the Ob) The agency said messages it had received from the Oral reported all well on board. The exact position was calcul ated at 60 degrees latitude north and 64 degrees longitude east. The Graf was speeding east ward toward Tokyo over the val leys and rolling hills of the Obi river basin in the province of To bolsk.

Circuit Judge Harry M. Fisher declared tn rein stating an injunction under which Chicago's two dog racing tracks were operating once more. The Judge, in ordering the tracks re-opened, affirmed the opinion of Master in Chancery Max M. Kor shak that the legislature by legal ising me pan-mutuel betting sys tem for horse racing also had made it legal for dog racing. The injunction preventing State's Attorney John A. Swanson from in terfering with the dog tracks and been withdrawn several weeks ago wnen raiding forces from Swanson's office persisted In closlnt the tracks night after night In iplte of the restraining order. Judge Fishers outburst against the reformers was due to the fact that he charged they had brought pressure to bear against Swanson to make him ignore the previous in junction. "I appreciate the position of the state s attorney and the sheriff find themselves In." the Jurist said "Pressure is being brought to bear upon them by pseudo-reformers who so far forget . themselves that in their fanatical seal to Impose their own righteous wills upon a sinful multitude they would have these officers of the law violate the In Junctions of the court. Hectic Buying, Short Crop Send Prices for Prunes Skyrocketing One of the most hectic buying seasons in the dried prune industry seen in this section for years is drawing to a close with a high percentage of the crop bought up. Orchards here and there have not been sold, and a few large ones, but the main part of the crop is now under contract. The buying season has been one of keen interest, par- been waiting quite some years for Just such a thing to happen as happened this season. The prices started off at 1 cents and when all the big boys began to get Into action It began slipping skyward. The California Packing corporation and Rosenberg broth ers, staged the biggest pyrotechnl eal display In tot buying, although the Allen Fruit company bought e Good Evening! DOS UPJOHN OFFERS . Sips for Supper We never , knew before what a whale of a disturbance Just a few flowers could make. Since paying our respects to the Kiwanlans free flower mission last night we have been overwhelmed with pros and cons which shows our column Is still up and coming. Why, one dt lsen sent word that last night we said the only senslbile things he's ever read in our column. And we were Intrigued by the able. Interesting and vivacious edi torial of our Kiwanls managing editor who Jumped In to save the day. His Argument that the reason why the Kiwanlans wanted to use garden flowers Instead of profes sional flowers was to show what wonderful flowers were grown in the gardens here would have simply floored us cold and- dead but for one reason. The flower gathering committee made a bee line for do nations to three professional flor ists we know of and maybe more. And Scott Page, general chair man for the Wiwanians called us up last night and Just peeled our hide oft of us. We bet Scott would make a great arguer. We bet if we'd stood up to it he'd argued all night with us and never feuv in an Inch. Nelther'd we, so we shook our fists over the phone at each other and rung off, each being sat isfied we had the best of it Doggone It, where the boys made their mistake was that they didn't hold their convention In the spring so they could have gone -out and picked wild flowers from Mother Nature's bounteous bosom. Ralph Cooley, a good Kiwanlan, sent word over that that Is what "Kiwanls" meant "pickers of flow ers." But If we all didn't have our little neighborhood ructions life would be Just too tame for anything. We got two or three more of them up our sleeve we'll spring some of these days and simply rock the earth with them. In the meantime a friend of ours, and a good Kiwanlan too, told us he'd been to Portland and the fun niest thlg he'd ever seen and heard was the Marx brothers In "Cocoa nuU," "Why, doggone It," he said, "It's funnier than your column." And then he looked us all over careful like and added, "Yes, by ding. It's even funnier than you are yourself.'' And what do you know about that? "Say It with flowers," says the florists. And we'll say we said It And how! CRUSHED UNDER GRAVEL TRUCK Albany (IB Warren H. Hulburt. 77. of Albany, died at (he Corvallls hospital at 5 o'clock Thursday eve ning after being run over by a gravel truck on which he was riding, on the Pacific highway a mile north of Corvallls. The truck had slowed down for bun to step off, and In doing so, he slipped and fell under the rear wheel, which passed over his body. The driver swerved the truck in a vain effort to miss him.

Pending his arrival the district forestry office was with- holding action on unofficial orders from Washington, D. C giving it permission to call for men from the ninth corps area at San Francisco to combat the fires. Reports to the forestry office here indicated that the situation had Im proved slightly overnight. The Cam as creek fire continued to cause some anxiety and every effort was expended to get a line around It before dark. The Grande Rbnde fire near Ba ker, Ore. was stubbornly resisting efforts of fire crews. Reports from eastern Oregon said the blase broke (Concluded on page 10. column 1) SLASH IN SUGAR DUTY EXPECTED IN SENATE BODY Washington OP The republican members of the senate finance com mittee voted Friday to reject the proposed sugar tariff of 2.40 cents a pound voted by the house In the Hawley bill. The committee was unable how ever, to agree on a substitute rate and was to continue consideration of an alternate rate after the lunch eon recess. Washington (LP) The 3.40 cents a pound duty Imposed on Cuban ugar by the house appeared to be marked for a slash to 2.10 or two cents when" republican members of the senate finance committee met Friday to work out that schedule and complete the whole system of rates to be submitted to the sen ate. Influential members of the com mittee privately expressed their opinion that the house duty was too high and said that a compromise between It and the existing low rate of 1.76 cents would be adopted without much debate. The only question Is whether the 2.10 or the two cent figure should prevail. Those representing eastern states urged the lower figure while senators from the beet producing areas clung to 2.10 cents. As toon as sugar is concluded, the rate section of the bill will be finished and It will then be sent to the government printer in prep aration i or announcement late Monday.
