THE CAPITAL JOURNAL; SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1929 PAGE TEN TURKEY DEMAND IMPROVES; EGGS REMAIN STEADY Portland, Ore. (IP) Market for eggs was without change for the week end sessions. The co-ops re ported prices steady at the late ad vance here but the east has of re cent date Inclined lower. Somewhat better demand for shipment Is shewn in the market for turkeys although prices are un changed. Carload business is In dicated. The call continues only for fancy dressed birds. Quite serious scarcity of chickens Is shown in the local trade and a general scramble for requirements Is Indicated. Some of the country branches have at last started to pay prices In line with those In the city. With the demand for Immediate needs rather pressing, a shortage of potatoes Is Indicated. The Des chutes Is filling some back orders and has not offered anything dur ing the last week. This hu brought business Into the Klamath section from where the freight rate Is high er. There remains a lagging tone In the onion market here. Country business has ceased with the excep tion of an occasional carload. Grow ers generally are not Inclined to press soles. Buyers feel the same way. Very liberal demand continues for carload lots of celery. A firm mice Is reported by distributors and during the week demand has been In excess of the available cut. The Japanese association will start to cut Monday wifeTohelp fall win vindication (Continued from page 1) amount they owe Doheny some thlnir to add to her own small in come, which she said la sufficient to keep the family from want. Vehemently and with some indig nation, she denied reports that Do heny has supported them since their troubles beitan. The family Is, and has been since the crash, and will be. sustained on the re turns from investment made with her own Inheritance, she said. Still maintaining Fall's Innocence of bribery, she repeated with spirit: "If he were guilty, I would be." For she had been with him step for step, she added, since he was 21 and she was 18, and that was 48 Tears ago. "We are going to use every means to prove our Innocence," she said, using the pronoun with a casual- ness born of having employed It these many decades when telling of her husband's career. She smiled as she explained she always said, "When we were on the bench, and "when we were in the senate,' and "when we were In the cabinet. One way of vindication she sees la the publication of "the whole story" of Albert B. Fall. She wants the world to have a picture of his romance from prospecting days, and hopes to see it in print before she dies. Several writers already have signified eagerness to under take the task, and she is planning to cooperate now. SENATE TO VOTE BINGHAM CENSURE (Continued from past 1) fore adjournment the senate ap proved Increases sponsored by Ala bama democrats, In duties to pro tect the graphite Industry. Although only two days ago White Houfe statement said Presi dent Hoover was anxious that the senate complete work on the meas ure within two weeks, ellorts to proceed 8aturday proved fruitless. The recess was taken as 8cnator Cmoot of the finance committee ought to bring up manganese In the metals schedule. 8moot served notice he would ask consideration on Monday of every paragraph of the first three rate rhedules which nave been pasaea over and a vote on these before proceeding with other schedules. Senator Wal'h, democrat, Massa chusetts, protested against Satur- day being made a "day of leisure" for some senators and a day of work for others. Senator Borah of Idaho, a lead er of the rejubllcan Independents. euggested that the agriculture schedule, located In the middle of the bill, be taken up and that the senate dispose of those rates not susceptible to prolonged discussion Senator McNary, republican. Or ion, called attention to the absence of several senators from agricul tural states and said It would not be fair to them If this were done so that eliminated agriculture as a vehicle for progress. Borah then asked that the fen ate take a recess until Monday and Smoot, plainly irritated, made the motion. WOMAN BARBER SAYS MEN BEST PATRONS Providence. R. I..

Curb brokers also were present and brokerage clerk were busy catching up with their back work. Much of this work. It was expected, would have to carry over Into next week. Meanwhile additional notes of optimism were being circulated re garding the business situation. The tone ol brokerage letters and mar ket observers, however, was cau tious. The general opinion was that the market has seen Its worst break but many warned that the recovery may be too rapid and might draw out profit taking. TURKEYPRlCES AWAIT OPENING OF POOL BIDS R06eburs;, Ore. &i National tur key prices for the Thanksgiving trade will be established Monday when four large eastern poo la re ceive bids simultaneously on 40 carloads of dressed birds. The Douglas county pool, the largest in western Oregon, uie laano-uregon pool which takes In birds of south ern Idaho and eastern Oregon, and two other groups, one in Colorado and another in Nebraska, are co operating In this selling move. It Is said to be the largest of its kind ever attempted. The Idaho-Oregon association is offering 20 carloads. The Douglas countv ffrowers will nlace five car loads on the market. The Douglas Cooperative Turkey growers will meet Monday Bt tne neaaquariere in Oakland while the three other pools will open bids at their head quarters.

FILBERT CROP TO BE BUT 60 PERCENT With the filbert crop harvested the Salem Nut co-operative reports about a 60 per cent crop of last year. The market is good however, with the price fixed by the associ ation of 18 cents on No. 1 grade probably allowing an easy sale of the entire crop. The walnut harvest Is well under way and it Is expected the associ ation will handle as much tonnage as last year, although Individual orchards are not producing much but considerable additional acreage is coming Into bearing. The association opened on large Fran- queues at 26 cents, fancies at 21 H cents; standard at 18 cents, all in the Oregon brand: large Mayettes at 26 cents: large soft shells at 23 14 cents and the large sizes In tne Cascade brand at 22 H cents. CALIFORNIA AIDS GREAT NORTHERN (Continued from page 1) the Western Pacific tracks. The action of the railroad com mission In taking up the fight of one rauroad against another is un precedented. It was Indicated by officials, In the history of the Cal ifornia utility-regulating body. An official statement Issued by the commission asserted it would be In the public interest for the inter state commerce commission to grant a certificate of public con venience and necessity to the Great Northern Railway company to con struct its proposed line. Attorneys ol tne railroad com- mlssion were Instructed to file petition with the federal body for permission to become a party to the application of the Great Northen and Western Pacific for construc tion of necessary lines between Plumas county and Modoc county. It Is Intended that construction should link the systems at Lookout Modoc county, and Pax ton or Ked- dle. Plumas county. Among others Intervening are the Stockton chamber of oemmerce, city ond county of San Francteco, Plumas county board of supervisors, Alturas chamber of commerce, Mod oc county development board.

Five Cen t Price For Loganberries Next Year Seems Assured Annarentlv loeanberrv urrowers of the valley are Bitting pretty as indications now are that the entire tonnage from a normal crop will be used up by the canneries next year at a five cent price in fact, It is safe to say that practically every can- nery has contracted with Its old growers at least at that price tor the coming year and unless there la an avalanche of berries far be yond any normal expectations there seemingly Is no reason In sight why all of them will not be wed. The crop from last year is au sold, or so nearly so that It Is the same thing. There was a small pack from the last season and It rolled out without difficulty. An encouraging sign In regard to the loganberry situation, although It may seem otherwise at first blush, lies in the fact that it Is not ex pected that the cold pack next year will demand any great percentage of the loganberries that will come with a normal crop. In fact the number of cars of cold pack logan berries going out this year Is small as compared to the strawberries. This is true in face of the fact that too many people who have used them. It is considered that the cold pack has made a new and far su perior berry out of the loganberry. However, most of the logans will be used in the cans next year aside from cold pack, according to the present outlook. One big difficulty experienced with the cold pack has been the matter of distribution, but few grocers on the whole being equipped as they should be to handle the refrigerated pact ngnt ana as result it has been no means tne distribution which the demand for it would warrant. But this Is some thing that unquestionably will be worked out as It becomes more and more apparent to grocers that this is an article whcln can be sold in quantity if it is handled as 1 should be. And there is where enters In the encouraging sign for the loganberry growers. II the situation as it Is, is such that every logan in a normal crop Is likely to be handled next year with a very small percentage of it going into the cold pack, It Is obvious when the distribution ques tion is settled for the cold pack, and proper facilities are available, so grocers can handle it, the demand for logans will be greatly accelerate ed. It is believed that a lew years will see this problem working Itself out. It Is estimated there are some thing over 2000 acres of loganberries in the Willamette valley. Some ac reage is coming out this year as there was last year. This Is due to non-producing yards which have reached a stage where they are not bringing in retumes. Just what causes the Infestation which has dragged down the yards Is still little known, and those who have followed the Industry from Its inception, say there Is no telling yet what Is really the life of a loganberry vine when It Is handled properly and kept free from Infestation.

ANCIENT PEAR TREE BEARS 300TH CROP D anvers, Mass. (IP) The weight of three centuries has split Its trunk into three stems. History has been written In the fields about It. The pageant of war has been enacted almost beneath Its brandies. Nine generations of the family that or iginally planted it have passed into memory. Yet the famed old Endecott pear tree on the Orchard farm here has once more borne Its October fruit. This Is presumed to be the 900th lineal crop of tlie earliest cultivated tree In New England. Anglum, Me, (IP The glamor has largely been removed from the life of the test pilot according to "Red" Harfigan, test pilot for the Ryan Aircraft Corporation, who has flown more than 200 planes valued at t2.5O0.000 on their test hips, without a single accident. CONGESTION IN FOREIGN PORTS LOWERS WHEAT Chicago (U5) Wheat prices were forced down moderately Saturday on the board of trade when local longs began taking profits. Cables were firm, though Broomhall's re port that Liverpool was congested with wheat and had no mors stor age space available had an early depressing affect. There was lit tle aggressive buying. Wheat pul led corn and oats down with It, adding to the already heavy tone in the corn market. At the close wheat was off to cent; com to cent lower; and oats U to H cent lower. Pro visions was lower after an early gain. Receipts were wheat 10 cars; corn 63 cars; oats 64 cars. Cash prices wheat cent high er to cent lower; corn was H cent higher to one cent lower and oats was unchanged to cent lower. QUEEN MARIE IN FLIGHT FROM PALACE (Continued from page 1) Sonstanza, Its starting point. An unconfirmed report stated that Marie was actually ejected from Balchik after an Intermediary act ing on behalf of Psincess Helena, mother of the boy king, requested the dowager queen to leave the pal ace. Under the terms of the testament of the late King Ferdinand, the pal ace belongs to young Michael, but Marie refused to leave. She hid in a small wing of the palace and continued to use the main entrance. Several days ago, -Queen Marie was astounded to find several pieces of her furniture had been moved Into the courtyard. The situation was aggravated by numerous Intimations which she then received that her removal had become imperative. After the furniture episode, the dowager sought refuge In the wing and the royal architect advised her that he was commanded to build her a separate entrance. The Incident Is another In a ser ies of discordant episodes which re cently have forced the Roumanla royal household into the limelight, among them being the sensational flpht between Marie's vm. Prince Nicholas and the chauffeur, John Damlan. Paris (LP) With rumors arriving via Berlin and Bucharest that his mother had been ejected from the Roumanian royal palace at Bal chik, former Crown Prince Carol found himself Involved Saturday In distressing troubles of his own. On the complaint of his landlady. the Justice of peace has Issued an order requiring Prince Carol to pay $500 to cover not only damages to apartments In which lie lived but also unpaid coal bills. Prince Carol protested t.e order and It was announced Saturday that he would appear In court on November 7 to appeal from the de cision. FEMINISM SUFFERS BUMPS IN FRANCE Paris. (IP The Feminist move ment In France, which had been running along quite smootniy tne past few years, has Just encounter ed two bad bumps. Both the Senate and the 8eine Prefecture of Police have announced that no more women workers will be hired in their offices. This announcement has come s a bomshell In circles wmch are working for the economic and pol itical equality of women with men. Here It Is argued that young girls, despite their powder-puffs and lip stick, have been more efficient In their duties than their masculine co-workers, both In the Senate and in the Seine Prefecture of Police. Various leaders of the feminist movement have expressed their in tention of protesting venemenuy to the government regarding what they term "unfair sex discrimina tion." And It Is likely that this latest rebuff to women workers will be capitalized In the next election campaign when the French suf fragettes plan to marshal all their forces to obtain the right to vote. It is alleged that In examinations held last year for official positions there were two sets of questions one for the women and the other for the men. The one for the wom en Is said to have been a brain twister, but nevertheless more ap plicants In skirts than trousers passed tne tests. MONUMENT TO SERVANT Vienna. WV-A monument to a servant girl who gave her life to save two children In her care Is to be erected In the gardens of Ster nect Square under the auspices of the City Council of Vienna. The girl.

CO-OPERATIVE CANNERY PLANS DRYING PLANT Spurred on by a banner prune year, plans are In the embryo for the erection next year by the Pro ducers' Cooperative Packing com pany of a $25,000 plant for drying of prunes of their members. Details are still lacking as to just what the plans for the building and the type of dryer to be used, but the struc ture will be erected on file triangle at the rear of the packing plant on North Commercial street across the Oregon Electric switch tracks. This triangle was purchased a few years ago by the packing company and al ready one new building has been constructed on It. The Producers have had the prune dryer plan in mind for a number of years but each year has seen it put off for some reason or other. But the prune Industry here received such a great impetus the past sea Moisture Standard In Prunes Proposed To Eliminate Waste Roseburg, Ore. Investigations and experiments for the purpose of developing a set of standards for dried and packed prunes are planned by the Douglas County Prune association according to Arthur Marsh, president. At the present time there are no definite standards regarding the moisture con tent of dried prunes and processed fruit, and rejections are based whol- ly on the feel of the prunes, and this year, because of the unusual condi tions, the system is causing a great deal of dissaVsfaction. Prof. E. H. Wlegand, of Oregon Agricultural college, has been work ing along this line for several years, making chemical analysis and mois ture tests of prunes. He is consid ered one of the foremost authorities in the country on that subject. The association recently wired to the U. S. department of agriculture at Washington, asking for specifica tions on dried fruit, and was in formed that no such standards have been compiled, but that Prof. Wie gand's work was the most authori tative obtainable. Prof. Wiegand's recommendations are that a prune may have not to exceed 20 per cent moisture when it leaves the dryer and not to exceed 24 or 5 per cent moisture after It has been processed and packed. Never before In the history of the prune industry have the rejections been as severe as this year," Mr. Marsh declares. "The growers are equally anxious with the packers to provide a quality product and are making a very determined eirort to meet the demands, but tlie result Is that the fruit Is very much over- dried as compared with the output of former years. There is no question ol fruit classed as 'redheads' and 'plunkers', for the growers realize that these cannot be accepted and are trying to keen their fruit as free from these objectionable types as possible, but because of the great speed at which they have been working have al lowed a greater number to slip by than usual. "Many of the growers, with years of experience in drying, say that the fruit this year is too dry, while the packers claim that they have had heavy rejections by the Inspectors at the docks because of excessive moisture. This situation points clearly to the necessity of a set standard for moisture content, and consequently it is the desire of the association that some standard be adopted. "Prof. Welgand's work Is appar ently the farthest advanced of any experiments made, and it will be the effort of the association to secure cooperation In further tests, which will result In the setting up of speci fications regarding moisture con tent that can be set forth in the contracts with the buyers and there by secure a uniform rule for drying prunes. "At the present time some mois ture testa have been made and prunes containing 22 per cent mois ture have been classified by growers as too soft, and it was also shown that tests showing 12 to 18 per cent moisture have been rejected by packers as being too soft. II the grower dries his fruit out to a low moisture content he reduces the weight of his fruit, and if the pack er subsequently ehoota water into the prunes in the processing he in creases the weight and thereby In creases his profit at the expense of the grower. Definite standards, for dried and packed prunes would eliminate the disparity that Is known to have existed in some cases. "The growers feel that they have a Just complaint this year for they signed the contracts in good faith, expecting that the fruit would be received as in former years. The question of dryness has never been established excepting by the feel of the fruit, and because of conditions this year, where the fruit softened on the trees before ripening, such test ts not believed to be a fair one. The members feel that they know the moisture content of the fruit that has been delivered, and know that It is even below that of former years, and feel that fruit rejected at the docks la not the fault of the grower, so will not be satisfied until they know that the packed product is going on the market with a mois ture content comparative with that demanded from the grower. If the grower la required to dry his fruit out from 6 to 8 per cent lower than Prof. Weikand has specified, then the packed product should be on the same basis and not watered to the profit of the packer and the loss of tne grower. "The association feels that If the requirements set forth by Prof. Wlegand are too high, they should be lowered, but believe that some thing should be done to determine the actual standards that should be son that it was decided to wait no . longer. Another factor has been that this cooperative has always worked on the basis of never making capital improvements either building or otherwise without money in the bank to pay for them and they an situated to handle the job another year without a financial crimp. It Is expected that the dryer to be constructed will be large enough to handle a couple of thousands of bushels of prunes a day and in any thing like a normal year the mem bers of the cooperatives themselves will have enough prunes to keep It busy. While the cooperative has never handled dried loganberries to any extent the new fjryer will furnish equipment for that pu.-ose when ever it is deemed adriseable from market angles to dry some of that kind of fiuit and it Is also probable that it will be used to some extent for drying apples. This organization has been among the few successful cooperatives and while final results for the last sea son will not be told until the annual meeting is held in May nevertheless-' it had another good year aa far aa the year could go with adverse crop conditions in a number of varieties of fruits handled. However, It i ex pected that good returns will be had. followed and are willing to cooper ate with the packers in this regard, as they feel that the packers have carried on a great deal o experi mental work along this line which would be of great benefit to the growers. "The association Is very anxious to put out a high quality product and is working towards that end, believing that the future of the Ore gon prune depends upon lta repu tation for quality. In order to se cure this result, however, with fair ness to both the grower and the packer, it Is believed that steps should be taken to secure data upon which to standardize prunes the same as required for other pro ducts." A meeting of the directors of the association was held last week with the representatives of the packing associations in an effort to adjust the difficulties surrounding the dry ing and acceptance of the prune crop, and It is passible that by an other year the plans of the associa tion to secure suitable tests will have been carried out, eliminating possibility of such difficulties as have arteen this year.
