Roy and Paul Cos tell, also oil company employes, narrowly escaped death when they returned to their canyon home for household goods after removing their families toifety. They were trapped b ythe Tlames and forced to seek refuge under their cars. Brush rats and rabblLs which sought a haven fro mthe inferno beside the two men were killed by the heat. Both the Coetells were burned but not seriously. Several thousand yards of high ways burst Into flames, due to oil seepage, and an 11.000 barrel oil tank exploded, rolling flames to ward Santa Paula canyon. Resi dents in Santa Paula canyon were ordered to vacate their homes by the Santa Paula chief of police, but, unless the wind turned against them, fire wardens believed It would be possible to save most of tne threatened homesltes in that sec tion. The fire started In 8Lar can yon from a broken high tension wire, near the K. L. Dohoeny man sion. The wind carried the flames away from the mansion. united States Forester Bam T Primmer directed a battle of 200 men from a government airplane. In which he circled continuously over the burning district while the fire was at Its height. Country wardens on the ground, carrying out his orders, surrounded the fire and were holding It In check, although It was burning fiercely In the 7,000 acre area to which It had been confined.

CHICAGO WHEAT RECOVERS MILD GAIN FOR DAY Chicago (IP) Good support on the dips, which followed cables telling of general rains in the Ar gentine and that shippers there were pressing Europe with lower offers, brougnt wheat prices back Into a higher range late Tuesday. Corn was strong on a frost damage scare, but oats were about un changed. Provisions were uneven. At the close wheat was to cent higher; corn was up 4 to cent and oats were unchanged to cent higher. December wheat fell to the low est since July 13 In the first min utes of trading on reports that the Argentine drought appeared brok en, and while there were rallies to above Monday's weak close dur ing the morning wheat was heavy a good part of the session. Offer ings were absorbed surprisingly well for the character of the news avail able. Cash wheat was one to 1H cents lower. Receipts were 50 cars. Corn followed an independent course, advancing on the forecasts of frost over the central and north western section of the belt and ruled very active most of the day. Traders were Inclined to take the weather news as an Indication of an early fall and bought on possi bility of damage to unmatured com. Cash prices were cent higher. Recepita were 123 cars. Oats had no changes of signifi cance during the morning and ac tion was light. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 36 cars. M'NARY BLOC TO FIGHT TARIFF BILL (Continued from page 1) In placing shingles and logs on the free list. Those attending the conference Included McNary and Btelwer or Oregon: Jones or Washington; Od die of Nevada; Thomas of Idaho and Johnson of California. They are somewhat milder In their opposition to the bill than Is the farm bloc but they do not in tend to vote for the measure unless the lumber and mining Interests of their states and some of their other local Interests, receive the tariff protection which they fell has been abundantly given to other sections of the country. Without their votes the republi cans can not hope to pass the tariff bill for their margin of majority Is already diminished considerably by the midwestern farm groups. While this organization was being Instituted, off -at age, democrats re newed their fight against the repub lican bill from the floor. Senator McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, de clared "If the republican party can get by In passing this bill, they can not only get by with stealing from the government but they can get by with murder." DEMOCRATS UNITE "This bill Injures the farmer a great deal more tha n It helps him," McKellar said. "He will pa more for his shoes andeven the blacking he puts on his shoes. H e pays more for his tea, more for his calomel he takes when e Is sick , and sub stantially more for all other drugs ne nas to use. "But by turning to the free list we find he is repaid according to the republican view because he gete hi suncut diamonds duty free and his diamonds at a reduced tax. Think of the Joy this bill will bring to the farmer when he learns he shall ave to pay a high duty on his diamonds! Under this bill the farmer has to pay more for the paints and col ors and pigments used by his chil dren In school; more for his chairs and tables; more for his varnish and his soap; more for his starch; for his dynamite for blasting; for his tar and the bricks with which he builds his house. "But he gets his platinum free of any duty. "He will nay more for his bottles. his Jars, more for his kitchen uten sils, more for his spectacles, more i or nts mirrors, more for the incan descent bulbs in his fixtures, even more for the tombstones that mark the grave of his dead. But he will get his Brazilian or Peruvian beans free of duty. -tie wm pay more for his steel and Iron, wire fences, axles, whlffle trees and harness. But his Brazilian rock rrvxUl- will be free.- "Uncle Andv Mellon has a. trrMt aluminum trust. It Is true that the trust Is making all the money In the world now, but under this Din, tne farmer la characd nine cents a pound duty for aluminum. uncie Anay Mellon Is ekelng out a mere existence In the public ser vice here but every one knows the farmers are rolling in wealth."

(IPV While Oregon and Clark county, Washington, have a prune crop that Is up to the previous record despite tne fact that with the Increased bearing area a greater output would be pos slble, California prune tonnage Is now generally placed at 325,000,000 pounds compared with the record of 440,000,000 pounds a year ago. Two years ago practically the same sized crop was shown there. The Oregon crop, together with Clark county, Wash., is now generally estimated at 60,000, oeo pounds, on the basis of the bearing area, a full crop this season would run about 80,000,000 pounds. Estimates vary much as to the sales to date but Ideas here gener ally range from 60 to 75 per cent of the Oregon-Washington crop. According to the ideas of trade leaders the sizes of Oregon-Wash ington prunes will this season range around the following: 30 Ten per cent. 40 Forty per cent. 45 50 per cent. Balance Smaller hized fruit, To date this season but little busi ness In prunes has been closed for domestic account. Both the do mestic trade as well as the United Kingdom is very much Inclined to hold off purchases of prunes with the idea that values will be low er at delivery time. On the other hand extremely liberal purchases have been made by continental buyers. In fact most of the busi ness to date has been for the lat ter account. With the California prune crop much curtailed and the entire coast output below recent years, togeth er with short crops of other fruits, the distributive Interests are hold ing prices tight. ' Of much Interest this jseason Is that the northwest prunes this year contain more sugar than during the previous season.
