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

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.

BEAR ATTACK IN
STOCK MARKET
CAUSES LOSSES
New York, (IP) An aggressive
bear attack in the final hour of
trading caused sweeping declines in
prices on the stock exchange Fri
day and destroyed most of the
gains accumulated In the earlier
part of the week.
After the market had fluctuated
In a nervous manner through the
first hours of trading, an avalanche
ox selling orders In Steel common,
General Motors and other pivotal
shares forced wide-open breaks In
these Issues. Losses running down
to seven points were quickly at
tained.
Another severe drive was engin
eered on the general list shortly
before the close and the prelimin
ary Dow Jones averages showed an
unusually large decline. The Indus
trial compilation lost 8.85 points to
361.12, while the 20 rails sagged
0.50 points to 182.53.
united states steel continued
the weak spot, closing around last
weeks level of 234, oil 0 from
Its previous close.
Activity was extremely heavy in
the final hour of trading and
the ticker fell nearly half an hour
behind trading on the floor. It was
nearly 3:30 when the closing trans
action was printed. Great activity
on the downside was taken to mean
that large stop-loss orders were
touched off on the decline as a re
sult of the rapidity of the move
ment.

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

DISTRICTS DUE
TO GOOD ROADS
Marlon county's good road system
is beginning to bring returns.
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.
