(IP) Further strengthening of the position of the butter trade Is Indicated for the week-end, with some advances scored In the price Ust on cubes, Portland market was unchanged but recent sales at Chicago and New York were higher. Coast cities generally were unchanged. Market for eggs shows a mixed tone. While extras are up two cents as announced, the cut In the price of pullets or under-sized reflects the increasing stocks of such size. More storage stock is going into consumption. Prices of all sorts of live poul try Is held at the recent high point. Strength is shown for ail offerings with an especially strong tone for light broilers on account of the cute shortage. All through the market for country killed meats, a weak tone is ruling along the wholesale way. Veal, hogs and lambs alike are In clined to show a sluggish call al though many believe hogs are at or near the. cellar. The peach market is neglected. The public appears tired of this lnilt and quality Is somewhat In different although some very good stuff Is still arrlvelng from Oregon points. Prices are Irregular. Undertone in the local onion market appears less hopeful as a result of the lower priced supplies offered from central Washington sections, practically all of the Ore gon stock Is now safely housed but little movement Is as yet shown. Somewhat better local demand Is showing for fresh prunes. The Im provement was first noted on Thurs day but became more apparent Fri day and Saturday. Prices are un changed but steadier.

However, the total a mount ot money raised for state purpoaea by the county on the last tax roll was $.154.48157 or an In crease of $338,571.81. But the Indi vidual taxpayer 71 years ago paid very nearly as much In state tax as the Individual does today, dollar for dollar In valuation. The book contains some interest ing references. It shows that J. H. Boon was Justice of the peace, and Mr. Boon handled things with an Iron hand. For instance, he fined one James Dosey $28 for contempt of court. He was particularly active In regard to the law In regard to stray cattle. Entry after entry deals with delinquencies unoer wie jaw and the fines were not small for those times, running from $29 to $46.75 In various cases. Fines for assault and battery and breaches of the peace ran around from $5 to $7. The record shows that In July, 1868 Samuel Headrlck took over the office of county treasurer from P. Hamilton and that A. B. Casper took It over from Samuel Headrlck on July 7. 1898. J, C. Peebles became Justice of the peace succeeding John Boon, but the date Is not given. O. J. Stordlng was clerk of the circuit court according to an entry receipt ing for fees of $300 turned over by the court clerk.

HOP PICKING SEASON ENDS IN MOST FIELDS The 1929 hop picking season Is virtually over. Next week, as far as can be learned but two yards will still have picking crews, these being the McLaughlin yard of Louis Lachmund near Independence and the old Kelly yard in the Mission bottom district and these are ex pected to wind up tha middle of next week. Llvesley finished on the Lakebrook yard Thursday evening leaving around 8000 boxes unpicked In the field. The big Horst yard across the river of around 550 acres is expecting to finish up Saturday evening. General estimates of a crop of between 80.000,000 and 85,000.000 pounds remain unchanged as the hops are flnalh going Into the dryers and the market situation re mains as It has been virtually dead for tne present at least. 'Some percentage of the crop was entirely unpicked owing to mold and some moldy hops were picked. One estimate has placed about 50 per cent of the crop this year as real quality hops and there ar esome hops of an extra fine quality. While pickers were short during: much of the season some growers have attributed this to a desire on part of growers to have a speedy picking and the demand for more growers to the yard, and claim that there were as many pickers In the valley as usual but an apparent shortage because of unusual de mand. On the other hand some re ports were that there were not the pickers available. However, there has been no reports of a shortage of prune pickers, hop pickers switch ing over to the prune orchards as their hop yard Jobs wound up. SCHWAB DEPLORES SHEARER DEAL (Continued from page 1) Grace, president of the 'Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation, knew nothing of the Shearer deal. Asked who was responsible for employment of Shearer by his com pany, Schwab hesitantly named S. W. Wakeman, vice-president of the shipbuilding corporation. "Did you take some action?" asked Senator Robinson, democrat. Arkansas. "I left that to Eugene Grace. president of the company," replied Schwab. He added that he would leave that for Grace to relate upon his appearance before the commit tee. Senator Robinson became greatly aroused because Schwab wouldn't disclose what action Grace took. There was a heated exchange be tween the two. Robinson finally told Schwab "not to lecture me." "And likewise," responded Schwab calmly. Grace then was called to the stand. He first said he had been Interested In the Geneva conference as a citizen but not from a private business standpoint. "Why did you send an observer there?" asked Chairman Shortrldge. "I didn't." "But your company did." Yes." "Aren't you president? "Yes, I thought I was but X didn't know about Shearer." Grace said he never met Shear er. He said he learnud first of his employment in December, 1927, sev eral months after the Geneva par ley. He testified he had been asked by a newspaperman about the Shearer arrangement and had denied It. But later he said that he heard the rumor again and then ques tioned Wakeman about Shearer's employment at Geneva. A5ked oy senator snortnage whether he had rebuked Wakeman, Grace replied: 'I told him It was rather unwise and a thing I couldn't approve of. I told him It was contrary to the policies of our company." Grace explained tnat ne unrjor- stod Mr. Wakeman felt Shearer could give some technical Informa tion and "ascertain what was transpiring and report it." He add ed that Wakeman expected to get more Information of this nature than would be reported by the press." and denied that It was ex pected Shearer would delve into the activities oi tne conference. Recalled to the stand, Schwab said he had no recollection of ever meeting Shearer. He added he had been told bv his secretary that Shear had sought Interviews but had been denied them by the sec retary. Daniel Cohalon. Shearer's attor ney, then arose and said, "In fair tims to Mr Schwab ask him to re- frMh his memory aa to whether he met Mr. Shearer at the mi uari- ton in New York in wovemoer. 1B2" Senator Robinson put the ques tion to Schwab and the latter re -I met hundreds of people of whom I have no subsequent re collections."

WHEAT PRICES STILL DROPPING IN CHICAGO PIT Chicago, (IP) After selling to the lowest prices in several months on the weak Liverpool - close, which followed reporte of light rains over the most of Argentina and cheaper offer of Plate grain, wheat fu tures on the board of trade, re gained a part of their losses, on buying encouraged by the fairly steady Buenos Aires market.

CHERRY TARIFF CHANGES MADE BY SENATE TOLD ThA rherrv cmwera of California, who have been actively engaged in an effort to secure adequate protec tion for the domestic product through the placing of a sufficient Url'f on imported cherries, are finding their effort practically frustrated by the action of the sen ate finance committee in rewnung the nrovlsion in the bill relating to cherries as passed by the house. says the California rruic news. The house bill provided the fol lowing: Par. 737. Cherries. (1) In their natural state, or dried. 2 cents per pound. (2) Sulphured, or In brine, with stems and pits, 5 '4 cents per pound: with stems or pits removed, n cents per pound. (3) Maraschino, candied, crys tallized, or glace, or prepared or preserved in any manner, 514 cents per pound and 40 per centum ad va.orem. This bill was presented to the senate finance committee, which has rewritten the schedule as fol lows: Par. 737. Cherries. (1) In the natural state, or froz en, without sugar added, 2 cents per pound. (2) Dried, desiccated, or evapo rated, 6 cents per pound. (3) sulphured or in brine, In size more than 900 to the gallon, with pita, 3 cents per pound; with pits removed, 4 cents per pound. (4)8ulphured, or in brine, In size 900 or less to the gallon, with pits. 514 cents per pound; with pits re moved. B4 cents per pound. (5) Maraschino, candied, crystal lised, or glace, or frozen win sugar added, or prepared or preserved in any manner, 614 cents per pound and 40 per centum ad valorem. The objection of the cherry growers to this bill Is that provi sions 3 and 4 completely nullify the effect of the proposed house rates and will be of little, if any, benefit to the growers. Practically 90 per cent of the cherries that are im ported under these classifications come in In size more than 900 to the gallon,, and would be admitted un- der S cent duty, with pits, and a 4 cent duty with pits removed, port file din probate by W. W. These rates, the California cherry growers contend, are Insufficient and inadequate to enable them to compete in the domestic markets with the foreign product.

J., and Sterling Securities, issues of these classes scored sharp gains but bears continued to hammer radio, General Motors and U. 6. Steel. Bears were less aggressive how ever than in the previous session and a number of profesional trad ers covered short contracts In the industrials following the advance in Columbus Gas and Public Service to new record high levels. As a result many issues which had been hammered in the early trading scored sharp recoveries. Steel came back more than two points from its early low and lesser recoveries took place In Radio. General Motors and American Can. Losses which occurred in many sections of the list were limited to several points and the market as a whole showed relatively unim portant change. Some of the early gains were shuttled down In the second hour of trading. Likewise part of the declines in pivotal shares were erased. Columbus Gas and Public Service were exceptions, both selling at record highs at advances of S to 7 points. Westinghouse and Chrys ler were weak futures, the latter breaking to a further new 1929 low. The market as a whole displayed improved tone but price movements In many of the leaders continued erratic.

The crew of the plane consists of Pilot S. A. Shestakov, Second Pilot P. E. Bolotov; Navigator S. V. Ster- tigof and Mechanic D. V. Fufayev. The Russian airmen ploughed through thick banks of hall, rain. snow and fog on their flight across the Bering Straits, the only favor able factor belrrg that it was almost constant daylight enabling the fli ers to proceed on a direct line. The great chain of the Aleutian islands was sighted after the fliers were five hours out and Commander Shestakov decided to land on Attu island which is the westernmost member of the long Archipelago. According to brief wireless dis patches from the plane, the natives of the island at first fled when they saw the big machine in the sky hovering over the island but later returned to their dwellings when the plane descended. Upon being reas sured that the unexpected Russian visitors were not hostile, the natives welcomed the airmen heartily and placed all their slender resources and supply of food at their disposal. After resting here for a day or two and nriming their machine for the additional 300 odd miles which still face them, the four fliers will proceed over the rest of the Aleu tian Islands and head for Sitka.
