PAGE EIGHT
PULLET EGGS
STRONG; WEAK
BUTTER TONE
Portland. Ore. OP) An advance of
two cenU per dozen In fresh pullet
eggs, ellecuve Tuesday morning,
was announced Monday by Manager
Dlion of the Pacific Poultry Pro
ducers. The advance was caused Dy
the scarcity of offerings. The new
fobbing price will be 30 cents with
sales to retailers 33 cents per dozen.
Portland, Ore. (LP Market for
butter is ruling weak and every
effort of the produce exchange to
hide the facts appears wasted
Country Interests continue to of
fer butter freely at prUws below
what Is being quoted.
Owing to the scarcity of offer
ings of fresh pullet stock an ad
vance in such egg offerings is due
here. The former pullet stock is
now going into the mediums and n
better supply of the latter is shown.
Efforts of certain big private In
terests to advance mediums is due
to their late importations from
other states. This does away with
the talk that Portland Is lowest.
Much better trading trend is
shown In the live poultry market
even though some interests are try
ing to hide the facts while they
stock up with low priced stock
As high as 18 cents Is being of
fered for light hens and 20 cents
for mediums with heavy stuff 26
to 27 cents pound.
That the potato grades of Ore
gon will be rigidly enforced Is the
statement of Henry N. Toube, state
Inspector, who has so noU'ied the
trade. Arrests of violators will be
made soon. Despite the propaganda
of conflicting interests that Wash
ington combination grade will be
allowed on sale as such, the In
spector officially says that com
bination will go Into No. two grade,
where It belongs.
Market for potatoes continues
strong both at primary and con
suming points of the northwest
More Klamath stock Is arriving and
the demand for Deschutes potatoes
Is in excess of supply.
There Is much talk In the trade
of combination of three wholesale
fruit and produce housns. This
combination has been talked of
for many months. Some claim the
deal Is closed except for the ac
tual signatures of the firms. It Is
understood that two homes will be
closed here and branch houses es
tablished In the country.
According to reports the demand
for carload lots of celery Is tin
proving at other points. An in
creased movement from this terri
tory is reported at prices no lower
than $2.25 crate. Some markets
prefer the small stuff, others want
the large.
Country killed veal weaker.
Hogs firmer.
Lambs conti:e weak lor coun
try killed.
Market for hothouse tomatoes Is
lower. Cucumber trade very slow
also.
Carload Texas grapefruit due here
Within few days.
Cauliflower market Is slightly
better for shipment. General sales
80 to 00 cents crate, f. o. b. cars.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON
MOVEMENT OF
APPLES FASTER
ONIONSSLOWER
Portland Caxlot shipment of
Oregon producing districts during
fresh fruits and vegetables from
the put week totaled 499 cars, or 137
cars more than the preceding week's
total. Itemized, the shipments by
commodities are: Apples 233 cars,
onions 24, cauliflower 28, pears 126,
potatoes 45, celery 39 and mixed
vegetables 4 cars, as reported by J.
D. Hamilton, local representative of
the bureau of agricultural econom
ics. The most outstanding increases
are noted In apples, of which only
138 cars moved during the previous
week, potatoes, with a 50 per cent
increase, and cauliflower, of which
only 9 cars were loaded during the
previous seven day period, onions,
pears and celery showed appreciable
variation.
Of Oregon's potatoes, onions, cau
liflower and celery, most of the
crops are still unshipped. The on
ion harvest has been completed for
some time, but unsatisfactory east
ern markets are confining Oregon s
distribution to Pacific coast points.
On the coast, competition from
Yakima, Idaho and Colorado onions
are limiting the demand for Oregon
stock.
The celery market was also dull,
and shipments re being held back
as long as possible, awaiting im
provement in eastern demand. Cel
ery loadings are expected to increase
however, as the stock Is showing
considerably Increased maturity and
cannot be held Indefinitely.
The potato market has been ac
tive throughout the entire country
and Klamath Falls and the Des
chutes district both loaded freely at
prices slightly higher than Yakima
was realizing lor the same varieties.
CLEMENCEAU IN
SHADOW OF DEATH
(Continued from page t)
"The time hasn't come yet."
Then turning his head toward
his daughter, grandson and several
others who had assembled around
his bed-side, he added, with a feeble
smile, "You can all go to bod now."
Dr. Laubry gave a United Precs
correspondent the following anal
ysis of the Tiger's condition:
"It was a .heart attack and there
fore most critical. M. Clemcnceau
was warned several times this sum
mer to slacken his work of writing
his memoirs but characteristically
he refused. It is impossible to pre
dict the outcome, but he is momen
tarily resting easier following In
jections of oxygen but he Is 88 years
old, and his heart can not be ex
pected to stand such a strain very
long."
Dr. Laubry said that if it had
not been for oxygen injections.
Clemenceau would have died.
At 6:30 a. m. after he had only
a few fitful spells of sleep, Clem
enceau awoke, grumbling because
of his inability to get out of bed
and walk. HU grandson, Rene
Jacquemalre, who is also a physi
cian and who passed the whole
night at Clemenccau's bed. suc
ceeded in persuading him that he
nnist not attempt to move.
when Jacquemalre spoke of the
possible necessity of another oxygen
injection, Clemenceau replied with

Grea t Flying Craft
Carries 169 Persons
In Flight of One Hour
iu,.,u. c;,..u.,ri,,rll (p The hutre 12 eneined
flying boat Do-X, which was launched here last July, made
an amazing one-hour flight Monday with a human load of
189, the first time In the history of
aviation that so many persons nave
been carried into the air on any
conveyance.
The giant Rornier plane took off
at 11:15 a. m. and landed Just one
hour later. The machine flew over
Lake Constance, her motors work
in faultlessly, and landed with her
51 ton load at 12:15 p. m. without
a hitch.
The DO-X carried 159 passengers
and a crew of ten. She nao maae
previous test flights but this was the
taken up.
The flving boat, which may be
first time that so great a load was
used for a trans-Atlantic crossing
for the purpose of trying out her
capacities, was built in the greatest
secrecy. She was designed to carry
forty passengers normally but nas
accommodation for 100 if necessary.
Her twelve engines can develop a
total of 6000 horsepower and each
engine can be treated Individually
without affecting Its neighbors.
The DO-X measures 150 feet from
tip to tail. Its wings are 10 feet
thick and 150 feet from wing tip to
wing tip. Six great turrets project
from each wing and each turret Is
equipped with two engines of 500
horsepower. The turrets are manned
by mechanics who can walk along a
passage on the Inside of the wings
from one turret to another.
When the DO-X was launched
last July, she carried 34 tons of
weight and was able to get into the
air with the greatest ease after a
take-off run of only 500 yards, other
trials being similarly successful.
One of the features of the plane
is her three decks while another is
that the machine can fly with only
eight motors in use.
Dr. Dornier built the plant at Al-
tenrheln which Is on the Swiss side
of the German-Swiss frontier be
cause of the limitations on German
aircraft Imposed by the treaty of
Versailles.
While the ship was being built
there were many skeptics who main
tained that It would never fly owing
to its enormous weight. Aviation ex
perts, however, were enthusiastic
about her ability to take the air..
TRACE LEAKS ON
TARIFF TO LOBBY
(Continued from page 1)
tostatic copy ot the memorandum
said he did not remember It.
"Do you suppose Walsh asked.
"that Mr. Wuichet, a subordinate of
yours, had such faniliarity with the
majority members of the finanoe
committee as to obtain this Infor
mation?" No, sir." Eyaneon replied.
I suppose we will have to ask
Mr .Wuichet about It," Walsh ob
served.
E. Kent Hubbard, president of
the association, testified that he
received $10,000 salary and $5,000
for traveling expenses. He listed
the New York, New Haven Sc Hart
ford railroad and the Scovllle Manufacturing-
company of Waterbury
as probably the largest contributors
to the association.
Caraway Inquired how much the
railroad contributed and Hubbard
estimated It at $3,000 or $4,000 a
year. The association has a reserve
fund of about $40,000, he added.
The witness Insisted that this
year was the first time the organi
zation had been Interested In tariff
legislation, and said this was due
to the request of Bingham for a
man to assist him.
It apparently was understood to
the members of your association
that your representative was to be
paid his expenses while with Sen
ator Bingham," observed Walsh.
'It was Just understood that we
would pay his salary and expenses
white In Washington with Senator
Bingham," Hubbard replied.
Walsh asked about the circum
stances of sending Eyanson to
Washington.
'I told him to come down here
and do what Senator Bingham or
dered him to do.'
Walsh then picked up a letter
from Hubbard to Eyanson. He
read: "I want you to prepare the
way with Senator Bingham" about
Eyaivons Job.
What did you want?" asked
Walsh. "Was Eyanson to be a sort
of Saint John the Baptist?"
Hubbard insisted he wanted Ey
anson to open arrangement with
Bingham for Jits return. '
I didn t want senator Bingnam
to be surprised when I told him I
wanted Eyanson back at once.'
Walsh read further from Hubbard's
letter that "you have done great
deal more than we ever bargained
for tn the beginning."
'Exactly." explained Hubbard.
"He had stayed here much longer
than we bargained for."

Thursday.
LIGHT DEMAND
FOR AMERICAN
PRUNES ABROAD
The 1929 dried prune export sur
plus of Yugoslavia Is now placed at
19.800 short tons, according to a
cable of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics from O. L. Dawson, act
ing American Agricultural Commis
sioner at Berlin, the California
Fruit News says. Heavy deliveries
at the beginning of the season caus
ed a temporary decline In prices
but they have Increased again re
cently. Transactions to date, how
ever, have been small.
Exceptionally favorable weather
during the ripening and drying pe
riods In the French, Prune d'Ente
district, has raised the prospects
for the 1929 crop from .the orginal
estimate of 4,500 short tons to
present estimate of 5,500 short tons,
according to Consul Lucien Mem
minger at Bordeaux. There was no
rain and very little wind during
August and as a result very few
plums dropped from the trees.
Moreover, the sugar content of the
fruit Is high and water content light
and a large percentage of large-
sized prunes has been obtained In
drying. Harvesting and drying op
erations were completed at an early
date this year because of the favor
able, weather conditions. All of the
crop has now been harvested and a
considerable proportion has been
sold in regional markets. An au
thority has stated that the 1929 crop
will yield an average of 60-70s per
half kilo (1.1 pounds) as against
80-90 during recent years. The mar.
ket for new crop fruit is said to be
very firm for small sizes but quiet
for the large sizes.
The French importers of Ameri
can prunes are looking for., a de
crease in imports from the United
States this year since California
prices are high and the French crop
is larger than last year. It is ex
pected that the domestic consump
tion of prunes in France will be
somewhat reduced during the 1929
1930 season because of the large
fresh fruit crops this year, especial
ly of apples, which can be carried
over during the winter months. In
addition some stocks of the 1928
California crop are still on hand In
France, Very little interest is, there
fore, being displayed for new crop
American prunes.

INSURGENTS PLAN
TO HOG-TIE MAYOR
(Continued from page 1)
proceed as his judgment and busi
ness experience aiciaies.
And that constitutes the bone of
contention.
The insurgents, their ears tuned to
the cries of the calamity howlers
and obstructionists against all ex
penditures of public funds, are de
termined that they and their poli
cies shall rule the municipal roost.
To so rule they realize that they
must control the committees of the
council, and they now propose to
have all committees named by a
committee on committees which,
presumably, would be made up of
members elected by the council. It
is indicated that a resolution to ac
complish such an amendment of the
rules will be introduced at me Mon
day evening meeting.
To thus amend the rules it is nec
essary that notice of such and in
tention be filed not less than wo
weeks prior to the meeting at which
the amendment is considered, which
if the resolution Is introduced at
this meeting will permit of a final
vote on the amendment at the first
session of the council in November.
Success of the insurgents in pass
ing the amendment will hinge upon
the faithfulness of the mayors sup
porters to attend council meetings
in the future. With a full member
ship present the insurgents realize
that they lack the required two-
thirds majority to amend the rules,
which provide that amendments
may be made only with the approval
of two-thirds of the members pres
ent.
At a full meeting of the council
it requires the votes of 10 of the
14 aldermen to pass an amendment
and five of the councilmen are listed
standpatters with the mayor and
his policies.
The insurgents make no bones oz
admitting that they pin their hopes
of passing the amendment upon the
expected absence of Alderman Haw
kins, whose business keeps him In
Portland much of the time and who
has already missec several meetings
of the council. With Hawkins ab
sent and the rest of the members
present the insurgents would have
the required two-thirds majority.
Through Hawkins the bolsheviks
also plan to gain complete control
of the council in still another poli
tical maneuver.
The charter provides that when
any member of the council is absent
from four consecutive meetings of
the council his office may be de
clared vacant by a majority vote of
the aldermen and a successor elect
ed. Such a lapse in attendance on
the part of Hawkins Is to be fol
lowed by vacation of his office, and
the insurgents with their simple ma
jority will pick and name his suc
cessor. Ousting of Hawkins would leave
the mayor completely at the mercy
of the bolsheviks and deprive him of
tne support which la now sufficient
to sustain his vetoes on measures
having to do with matters of policy.
A check of the attendance records of
the aldermen reveals that Hawkins
Is not in danger of being unseated
if he shows up at this meeting.

SUGAR MAKES
FOODSPLEASANT
Good Cooks Learn to Use
Nature's Supreme Flavorer
No wonder sugar used to be con
sidered a luxury of the rich. No
wonder a noted scientist says that
suirar is the greatest condimental
food in the world.
Sugar's supreme importance to
health is that it makes foods pleas
ant. No man. woman or youngster
can live on one food alone. To eat
a great .variety of foods daily tho
year round is to promote health,
and sugar adds flavor and delight
to nearly every known food. As a
noted scientist says, to try to eat
most foods "straight" would result
in a monotonous, unpalatable diet,
and you simply can't get people to
eat things they don't like.
Try a da eh of sugar on your
favorite cereal. Eat healthful black
berries and other fresh fruits mad
delicious by a sprinkling of sugar.
Profit by the experiments of four
well-known women cooking experts
in New York who recently redis
covered the old art of using a dash
of sugar in vegetables whilo they
are cooking in a small amount of
water. Noto how the vegetable
colors, freshness and flavors im
prove. This little added sugar
makes eating vegetables a joy. Re
member the value of custards, milk
shakes, ice cream and other milk
desserts in helping your family to
eat enough milk. Remember stewed
fruits, candy and cookies for tha
end of the meal.
Slimness is no longer stylish.
Good food promotes good health.
