Trade In the cube butter market continues to reflect a strong tone with no change In values for the day. Make Is still showing de crease but the change la slight. Much storage stuff Is being moved. Heavyweight broilers or springs are not meeting the favor of last week. Demand is principally for the lightweights; those under two ' pounds and for these values are held at the extreme point.

LINDY DODGING STORMS IN CUBA (Continued from page D heavy thunderstorms northern coast. along the Aboard Colonel Lindbergh's plane enroute to Havana from Miami iff) (via radio) At 9:40 a. m. colonel Lindbergh was leaving the Florida straits for Cuba. Mrs. Lindbergh is keeping a diary oL the trip. Am- tude 1,500 feet, water passage smooth. All passengers enjoying scenery over Florida Keys. Lindbergh held the controls as the plane roared toward Cuba at an average air speed of 100 miles per hour. The course lay along tne Overseas railway to the strait but the plane will fly some miles to the east of the Key west, me any is clear as crystal. At 10:40 o'clock we sighted Cuba and shortly will be landing. The water hop from the mainland was fine and enjoyed by all of us de spite the heat which we can feel at an altitude ranges of from 1,200 to 3,500 feet A good tall wind Is aid inn our oroRress now. Mrs. Lindbergh has filled several pages of her diary already. I can not see Lindbergh In the pilot's ca bin from where I am seated, vial blllty is only fair at present, for we re penetrating numerous scattered clouds, but the motors are singing sweetly and the air is smooth. At 10:54 o'clock we sailed leisurely through a clear sky, rapidly getting nearer the end of this beautiful hop across the straits and the 90 miles of water that separate Cuba from the outposts of the Florida Keys. From the starboard windows we saw A. P. and O. steamer and Lindbergh ' pointed the plane toward the ship. Then we passed over lier and it looked like a toy boat such as chtl dren play with in the bath tub. The crew were on deck looking us over. Colonel Lindbergh arrived at Ha- vanna at 11:18 this morning, corn- pletlng the first leg of his 7,000 mile journey. Inauguration of a 7,000 mile air mail and passenger service for Pan American airways over a West In dian route to Dutch Guiana and through the Central American countries lay before Lindbergh he pointed the nose of a trl -motored monoplane tomard Santiago, Cuba, the first overnight stop on the light. Sixteen different countries will be visited on the 20 day flight, which will be similar to, but a retracing of, the good will trip Col. Lindbergh made a year and a half ago. He Is accompanied by h!s wife, the form er Ann Morrow, and officials of the Pan-American company. Glenn H. Curt Las, pioneer aviation developer, was a passenger to Ha vana, the first stop on Fridays flight. Two newspaper correspond ents also wlM accompany the party to San Juan, Porto Kico. In an interview before the start of the flight, Col. Lindberyh ex pressed his views on aviation of today and some of the development that probably will be made In the future. "One of the big things aviation needs," he said, "is the development of more small planes which can be operated by the novice more easily than those of today. As It Is now, a person learning to fly Is compelled to spend too much time at the con trols before he can handle a plane properly. Mrs. Rosle Redmond who has been making her home with Mrs. Mary Vaughn for the past year, has gone to the hot springs for a few weeks on account of her health.

Angel market road Improvement and regardless of the fact that the work Is being pushed with all pos sible speed, it Is likely that It will continue durig the greater part of October, members of the county court reported after an Inspection of the road work Thursday. Two big steam shovels are at work and grading U proceeding as fast as the big crews can work at it. It Is hoped to get the Improve-, ment completed before the rains set In. Work on the road Is so late because of the fact that the right of way was held up so late In the summer that the court seri ously debated putting over the Im provement until next year when the difficulty was finally ironed out.

BODY OF WOMAN FOUND IN HILLS (Continued from page 1) character of northern California, partly because she was a member of an old family, the heiress to nearly $1,000,000 and partly because of her delusion that "this and ail I see are a part of my kingdom." Wandering through the hills she loved, ever worried because of her possessions, which her distorted mind vlsloned as Including all the earth. Miss Wolfskin was last seen July 14. She was dressed that day In ankle length skirts and her long strides were literally eating up the dis tance as she hiked toward the sun set over the foothills. When found the body was clad In pair or men's brown overalls. Her failure to return home caus ed anxiety and for days men rode through the valleys and over the hills, hunting the "empress", dead or alive. Wooden valley creek, a few miles from here, Is where young Olashoff stumbled on the body. As a result he will collect the $5,000 reward offered by her brothers. Matt and Ney, wealthy southern CallfornUns. A mysterious element In that re gion where the body was found was the scene of an extensive search In the days after the disappearance of the "empress". Five hundred men. with dogs to lead them, trail ed through the valley on their way to the hills day after day, but did not see the body if It was there then. An Inquest will be held later In the day at which time an -effort will be made to determine the cause of death. This was not possible earlier because the body was badly decomposed, making examination difficult. Two theories are offered. One Is that Miss Wolksklll became lost, fell rrom exhaustion and died. The otner la that she was murdered. A pair of brown overalls com prised the main Items of the wo. mans elothing when found. This was not the usual garb of the "empress", where she got the overalls and why she wore them are among many questions which remain to Be solved. In the background, amomr the snarled threads of mystery, Is an oia ume ramuy reud. a atranm. uingie or orotneriy hatred and sis terly anection. Matt and Ney, the brothers, were not friendly. They had not spoken to each other for years and even with the disappearance of their sister who loved these brothers. 'subjects" of hers, could not agree. "She la dead." Nev told Jack Thornton, sheriff of Solano county. Immediately after hoe disappear ance. "She ran away from that nurse Matt hired for her and died of exposure." Just as Insistent was Matt that 'stoter Is alive. 8he loved the hills and walked too far from home and Is lost. Let's continue the hunt, please." The creek where Miss Wolfskin was found Is only a short distance from the Wolfskin home. Her feet were bare, which was considered unusual, and one foot was gone but the water flowing through the creek, and the presence of wolves In that region, may have account ed for the mutilation. The body was brought here late Thursday night and turned over to Oertrude Klott, county coroner, who, after consulting physicians. will conduct an inquest and Inves tigation Into the case. The brothers were notified In Los Angeles and will be summoned for the Inquest, according to M. A. Harris, a private detective hired to Investigate the circumstance of their sl?ter disappearance. The CUlrens Trust and Savings bank of Los Angeles. In which Miss Wolfskin had a $600,000 trust fund also was Interesting Itself In the inve-'tlgatlon. It was said here.

Consolidation of six county scnoois move to eliminate two more. well as the benefits attained from the transportation of children to better grade school facilities and to the larger high schools, are tne di rect results of the county's good road system, County Superintendent Fulkerson stated Friday, and aside from economies perfected In the school system the results In better educational opportunities for the children from the smaller districts will be far reaching. Without the good roads which the county has been putting through the past few. years none of these things could be done and apparently it is Just the beginning," stated the county superintendent. "The results from the good roads may be little less than revolutionary as time goes The principal consolidations now effected and getting to work with the beginning of the school year are u follows: Rosedale district pupils attending Liberty school. Union district pupils attending Stayton schools. Summit district pupils attending turner scnoois. The biggest elimination brought Is that of the closing of the Rose dale school. Thirty pupils who at tended that school and had the benefit of two teachers win now at tend the Liberty school with the benefit of four teachers. Children from the Union district going to Stayton and from the Sum mit district going to Turner are taken from small district schools and given advantage of the superior facilities In the larger town schools. Mrs. Fulkerson stated that only two or three years ago the 8ummlt school was so Isolated because of bad roads that a portion of the time during the year she could not reach It in a car to make Inspections. She states that at the present time there Is talk In two other dis tricts of posting notices of aban doning schools, these being In the McLaughlin and Valley View dis tricts and sending the children Into the Sllverton schools. Not alone do the children from the smaller schools have a chance at the better educational facilities but the larger schools are strength ened oy tne attendance and given an opportunity to develop better teaching staffs and school svstemi. The roods. In addition, have made high school educations by the de velopment of cheap and satisfactory transportation systems available to large numbers of students who oth erwise would be placed at great stress to attain such an education.

OUTLOOK GOOD ON STRAWBERRY MARKET IN 1930 The strawberry market outlook for 1930 appears quite favorable In the Pacific Northwest and through out th ecountry generally, says a report from the state eollege. Re ports rrom Oregon and Washington which produce around 40 percent of the late strawberries, indicate that the acreage of strawberries to be harvested next year will probab ly be from 5 to 10 peroent less than In 1929, the reduction being greatest in tne barrelling and canning strawberry districts. Favorable con tract prices have caused some growers to retain fields which or dinarily would have been plowed out this fall, which may result In a lower than average yield If con ditions are average. Production, however, may exceed that of 1929 substantially If con ditions are favorable, as the yield in the Pacific northwest this year was oeiow normal. Production for the whole country this year, how ever, was slightly in excess of the record crop of 1928. With respect to the late straw berry states throughout the coun try tne Bureau of Agricultural Ec onomics of the United States De partment of Agriculture reports: "Aside from a 5 per cent decrease in tne Michigan acreage and slight increases in Wisconsin and Fen. nsylvanla acreages, the growers re. ported Indicate that little change Is expected In the late group and the commercial acreage will orob- aoiy oe anout tne same as In 1929. or slightly above the average of recent years." This report further states: "The Intended reduction for the country as a whole amounts to seven per cent. Indicating an acre age or 183,000 in 1030 compared with the 197,000 acres picked In 1929 and 205,000 acres a year ago. The equivalent of this reduction of nearly 14.000 acres Is expected to hum piace in tne four states. Ar kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, where about one-fourth of the total commercial strawberry crop Is grown and where the mar keting problem has been most dif ficult. The Indicated twenty per cent decrease In acreage In these states. If carried out, would go far to relieve the mid-season market ing glut. "Considering the country as a whole, the contemplated 1930 acre age changes would seem to leave the strawberry acreage for picking next season fairly well balanced among the various areas. , . . "Prospects for strawberry grow ers now seem to be better than In any year since 1926, according to the acreages planted or planned for tne i!u season." ... There Is now evidence of In creased plantings to come Into bearing In 1931, as Indicated by re ports of acreage planted or being planted this fall and by the reports of growers' Intentions to plant next spring, no exact statement can be made about the size of the In crease in new plantings without additional data, but It seems quite likely that with favorable crop conditions strawberry production In the Pacific northwest will be larger man in ikji or next year.
