BUTTER, EGGS
STEADY; HOGS
SHOW FIRMER
Portland, Ore. (IP) Steadiness in
the butter trade at. this time ap
pears the result more of sentiment
than any actual change in trade
conditions throughout the country.
Lack of general changes in the price
of fresh butter Indicates more and
more that weather conditions are
the dominating Influence. The re
cent stormy period appears to have
abated in the middle wen and east
but it Is ttill cold in both sections
Production of butter shows little
actual change for the period.
There was no change in the gen
eral trend of the local egg market
for the day. The co-ops made no
change la their values and while
some ol the private firms were shad
ing their previous prices this move
ment was scarcely sufficient to con
sider.
Market for chickens generally in
dicated a lack of price or sentlmenl
for the dav. There was no special
demand, most killers being fairly
well supplied with their probable
needs.
Direct shipments of veal In sup
ply to retailers has hurt the price
of stuff in the wholesale trade and
Indirectly hurt those that ship di
rect. There Is some improvement in
the dressed lamb situation here. The
big supply of stale stuff Is getting
down to the point where it Is no
longer burdensome but current ar
rivals are sufficient for needs.
Market for country killed hogs Is
showing a firm tone along the
wholesale way with prices a trifle
better In Isolated spots. Tnis ap
plies not only to the better class
light blockers but to pacamg siuu
ax well.
Somewhat Improvement In the
movement of the Oregon onions is
reported at Willamette valley points.
Price is unchanged with carload
lots selling II. sacks and twine
There Is no change In the local
nrlre.
With a scrambling around for
supplies, some additional carload
business in celery Is confirmed by
shlDDers here around 12.75 crate.
There Is a far greater demand than
suoDlv of bleached stock.
Some cauliflower shipments being
made at 11.50 to grower.
-Japanese oranges finding fair
movement.
Potato trade is gaing volume slow
lv. Price held.
Texas grape fruit 1 finding an
excellent movement, prices steaay.
California sprouts and beans one
cent higher In the south. Firmer
here.
Artichoke movement Is slow on
account of lack of quality.
FIND BODY OF LOST
AIRMAIL PILOT
(Continued from page 1
son, not knowing whether he was
dead or alive.
Nel&on. one of the best fliers of
the National Air transport line
formerly was a "buddy" 01 coi,
Lindbergh when they were on the
Air mall route between Chicago and
fit. Louis.
The last flight of Nelson started
at 12:30 a. m. Monday at Belief onte.
Is plane was heard about 3 a. m.
roaring over Clarion, Penn. Then It
seemingly was swallowed up by the
- storm.
Tl.e wrecked plane was In a ra
vine hardly 25 leet from slate nign
way 422 but was effectively con
cealed from searchers by the sides
of the ravine and by the snow that
covered it.
Nelsons parachute was partly
open, Indicating Le realized the im
pending tragedy but too late to
save his life by Jumping. The body
was lying face downward in the
snow.
The nose of the plane was driven
deep into the frozen ground.
Nelson's home was in Plalnfield
N J. He was about 29 years of awe
and had been an aviator nearly 10
years. The plane had not hit any
trees and had not caught fire. Ap
parently it had gone directly Into
a dive.
Sacks of United States mall which
the plane was carrying were found
inside It.
Cleveland, Ohio ilP The body of
Thomas P. Nelson In Ills wrecked
plane, was found shortly after noon
Thursday near Chagrin Falls, 25
miles east of Cleveland. A hunter
made the discovery.
The plane had crashed in a wood
ed ravine three miles from the vll
lage of Chagrin Falls. Nelson's body
still was strapped In the cockpit.
The wreckage was only 25 feet
from the main highway.
Cleveland. (IP) A squadron of
nine planes took off from Cleve
land airport here Thursday with
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh In
the lead, to Join the search for
Thomas P. Nelson, missing veteran
airmail pilot.
Cleveland, i Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh arrived here at 8
a. m. and shortly afterwards Joined
14 other fliers taking off to fearch
northwestern Pennsylvania and
northeastern Ohio for Pilot Thorn
as P. Nelson of the air mall ser
vice, who met an unknown fate
early Monday while flying the mall
from Belief onte. Pa., to Cleveland
Phil Love. St. Louis, who with
Lindbergh Is a former flying "bud
dy" of Ne.son. was among the pilots
rallying to me search.
Althf.iRh the search was In its
fourth dav Thursday, N. A. Tof
fir la Is sUll believed they would find
Nelson, whom they scarcely dared
hope was still alive, somewhere
between Belief onte and Cleveland.
His fellow-flyers pointed out that
his past doggedness Against storms
indicated that he would nave at
tempted to battle It out on his reg
ular rout rather than veer off In
some other direction.
Two of five teams in the base
ball league of Mara t lan, Mexico,

was given mast credit for bringing
about the settlement of the Roman
question.
Cardinal Gaxparrl, dressed In his

ijSTEER BRINGS
RECORD PRICE
OF $8.25 POUND
Chicago fiT A new world's rec
ord price of $8.25 a pound was paid
Thursday for Lucky Strike, the
grand champion steer of the 1929
International Livestock show. El
liott Brown, the 20-year-old farm
boy of Rosen ill, Iowa, whose steer
won the premier award of the ex
position, will receive nearly $7,700
for his 930 pound animal.
J. C. Penney, chain store opera
tor, again was the successful bidder
at the auction. Last year Penney
purchased Dick, the grand cham
pion of the 1928 show, at a new
record price of $7.00 a pound. Clar
ence Goecke of State Center, Iowa,
was Dick's owner.
The most recent record estab
lished at the American Royal Live
stock exposition at Kansas City.
where $8.02 per pound was paid for
the champion steer.
The bidding started at $1 a pound
Thursday and was spirited through
out.
The champion carload of cattle
was auctioned to Abergast and
Bastian, packers of A lien town, Pa.,
at $35 per hundred pounds. The
same buyers purchased the cham
pion lot of 1928 from the same prize
winning exhibitor, Ed P. Hall ol
Mechanicsburg, IU., but the carload
last year brought $44 a hundred
weight. Hall exhibited Aberdeen
Angus pure bredc, at an average of
1,000 pounds for the 15 animals he
would recieve $5,250 for his entry.
PLAN TO CLEAR
SIDEWALKS OF
ADVERTISING
Service stations and camp grounds
on the highways entering and leav
ing Salem may expect visitations
from the police in the near future
to remind them of a city ordinance
prohibiting advertising devices on
sidewalks, and, if necessary, to per
suade them by drastic means to
comply with the ordinance.
At the city council meeting Mon
day night a recommendation was
read from the city planning com
mission urging the police depart
ment to enforce the ordinance. L. P.
Campbell, chairman of the plan
ning commission, said Thursday
that offenders against this ordi
nance are few in the downtown
business district of the city, and
that most of the vicl.itors are along
the highways in the outskirts.
Not only are the service stations
and camp grounds at fault, but some
mercantile establishments are said
to be violating the act. In the north
part of the city, particularly, a large
number of electric signs have been
installed In recent months. A permit
from the city council is necessary
for the installation of electric Illum
inated signs above a sidewalk, and
there is some doubt in the minds of
members of the planning commis
sion whether permits have been ob
tained in all cases. Some of the
signs, it Is thought, are hanging
lower than permitted by the city
ordinance. At least It is believed
by the commission that a check
should be made to ascertain just
how closely the persons -installing
the sign have adhered to their legal
rights.
The matter was referred to the
police committee of the council. It
is customary In city affairs for the
city recorder to transfer resolutions
or other official matters by mail to
the departments to which they are
referred before action is taken by
the department. Alderman John
son, chairman of the police commit
tee, said Monday he had not yet
received the planning commission s
recommendation from the record
er's office.
A year or so ago there was quite
a flagrant disrc.d of the ordi
nance by business men in the city,
and some special activity on the
part of the police was necessary be
fore the offenders were persuaded
to comply with the ordinance pro
vision. WIDE RANGE IN

Contlnued from page 1)
He asserted that all of the ef
forts that have been put forth by
the administration to stabilize in
dustry after the stock market dis
turbance were to a single end, that
of assuring employment and to re
move the fear of unemployment.
"The very fact that you gentlemen
come together for these broad pur
poses," the president added, "rep
resents an advance in the whole
conception of the relationship of
business to public welfare.
"You represent the business of the
United States, undertaking through
your own voluntary action to con
tribute something very definite to
the advancement of stability and
progress !n our economic rights."
After reviewing steps which have
been taken, the president declared
that a "great responsibility and
prosperity rests with the whole
people." Another of his sentences
said: "All of these efforts have
one end to assure employment and
to remove the fear of unemploy
ment." The president said that the large
effect of the situation had been
to create undue pessimism, fear, un
certainty and hestitation In busi
ness. After the president concluded, a
number of addresses were made by
other high government officials and
leaders of business attending the
gathering.
Secretary Lament said In his o
pinion the recent credit shift had
been the most colossal in history
and that the way in which Ameri
can business withstood it had Justi-
llcd the confidence immediately
displayed after the disturbance.
He asserted there should be no
hesitation on the part of the pub
lic about buying securities at their
present level. An easier money
market, he added, had released
millions of dollars from speculative
use which business now will be able
to use in' construction and expan
sion. Another speaker. Assistant Sec
retary Klein of the commerce de
partment, followed his chief with
the forceful assertion; "The brass
tacks of the present business prob
lem has arrived."
Klein warned the business lead
ers of a skepticism as to the value
of committees "and resolutions and
badges and all the paraphernalia
of conference" and asserted that
the nation was looking to Industry
and commerce for action. He called
for a consideration of the business
needs of the country and prompt
action.
An optimistic note was sounded by
Julius H. Barnes, chairman of the
board of the United States cham
ber of commerce, who asserted that
the expansion of business activi
ties requires only a confident faith
in the future continued growth of
American industry. He laid empha
sis on sustained construction as the
"expansion valve" of any business
hesitation.

sent on its bill to Anderson It Fox
in Portland as It was stated here all
accounts would be settled by the
Portland office.
Now the local firm Is in receipt
of a letter from the Anderson &
Fox branch office in Portland re
turning th ebill and with the curt
information that "this bill Is re
turned because it was not contract
ed by this lirm."
Now the head of the local firm
Is looking around to find out Just
what firm did contract the obliga
tion. And local bankers who seem to
be In the know say that this was
an Anderson & Fox outlit and are
wondering how many more of this
kind of bills will bob up.
No matter what connection An
derson As Fox may have had with
trie lirm according to information
at hand the firm seemed to take
quite a lively interest for a short
time at least in what the business
was doing here.
For, so the story goes, Leonard
Fox ol the lirm came out west from
New York and waa Interested
enough In tha West Coast Ex
change to come down to Salem
from Portland and spend a day
here. In fuct he was supposed to
be met here by local celebrities with
a glad hand, and according to In
formation at hand the glad hand
dl- n't pan out as well as was ex
pected and Mr, Fox went away
somewhat disgruntled and not long
afterward word leaked out among
the boys that the ticker office was
to be abandoned.
In fact it was explained at the
time that Mr. Fox was issuing or
ders for discontinuance of all of
the small offices following the dis
ruption of the tock market.
In the face of the apparent In
terest of Mr. Fox in the local out
fit some wondering is going on In
the minds of those who have heard
about the experience of the local
firm In receiving a letter from the
Anderson & Fox branch in Port
land saying "this bill was not con
tracted by this firm."
The ticker shop here for a time
was quite a busy place. It was
something of a hangout for local
men who liked to dabble In the
market and for the weeks it was
here quite a few of the boys began
to talk in terms of May wheat. De
cember wheat, an dsuch like. A
good many thousands of dollars. It
was reported, dropped through the
ticker and some came out. Just
how the scales tipped wasn't re
vealed and never will be.
ACCEPT STEEL
KILLIN BRIDGE
With advices received from the in
spection department that steel has
been passed for the Killin bridge,
chances are that a Job on the Kil
lin bridge out of Woodburn con
tracted for with Rigdon brothers of
Woodburn on June 27 -may once
more get under way, regardless of
the fact that the contract called for
completion of the bridge by October
la.
The approaches to the bridge have
been finished for several weeks and
further work on the structure has
been held up awaiting steel to be
furnished by the King brothers
plant in Portland. The main chords
in the bridge which were finished
weeks ago were inspected and test
ed and found that they did not
come up to requirements and were
rejected by the state Inspection de
partment, states County Engineer
Hedda Swart. Since that time the
county engineering department has
taken the matter up a number of
times, to force some , more speed,
but the work has dilly-dallied along
far past the time which the contract
calls lor completion.
In the meantime, traffic has been
detoured over the long period.
i ne Bridge is 204 feet lone, with
a steel span of 120 feet and two ap
proaches, each 42 feet long.
1000 BALES HORST
HOPS REPORTED SOLD
According to a report among local
hop men the E. Clemens Horst com
pany has recently sold 1000 bales
of their Polk county hops to the
Wolf Hop company. While no price
on the lot has been confirmed, ru
mor places It at 12 cents. Inasmuch
hops raised on the scale of that
practiced at the Horst yard are
raised at an estimated cost of from
15 to 17 cents a pound, the deal at
the rumored price doesn't represent
any exorbitant profit.
Aside from this, one of the larg
est individual sales, if not the larg
est yet made on this, year's crop,
the market remains quiet with quo
tations still around 12 to 12'j cents
for prime hops.

TRAFFIC CONTROL
ONCE "BLEW UP"
London, (IP) If a "policeman"
had not been blown up in 1868, En
gland might have beaten America
in perfectng automatic traffic con
trol, Londoners have discovered.
In December of that year a new
sy:tem of traffic control was intro
duced on the streets of London. It
was an auttomatic contrivance oper
ated by gas, which- by means of
semaphore arms disentangled traf
fic jams and gave the pedestrians a
two-to-one chance of surviving.
The device at first proved a
triumph for the commissioner of
police. The horses soon learned to
respect tl.e "policeman' and pedes
trians mercle to safety under his
protecting arm.
And then one dav there was a
flash and a boom, and when the
smoke had cleared, the "policeman"
i.aa vanisned..
Now. after 16 years. London asrain
is Installing auttomatic traffic con
trol, but the system will run on
electricity.

DROUGHT ENDED
BY LIGHT RAIN
San Francisco A light rain In
the northern portion of the Sacra
mento valley Wednesday was hailed
as an indication that the long dry
spell throughout the state and much
of the Pacific coast was at last
coming to an end.
The weather bureau predicted a
general rainfall throughout the
state not later than Thursday night
or Friday, . due to a rapidly ap
proaching area of low barometric
pressure now over the Pacific ocean.
If the promised wet weather arriv
es, it will terminate a period of un
precedented drought, which started
last July and resulted in damage to
crops and cattle and that indirectly
caused considerable loss from forest
fires.
Power companies and water sup
ply concerns were also hampered by
the lack of rainfall, especially in the
northwest where the city of Tacoma
was faced by a serious power short-
are.
Alff!
