SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1930 PAGE TEN VHK CAPITAL. JOUKNAL. SALKM, OREGON ASPARAGUS IN CARLOT VOLUME REACHES MART Portland (LP) Trading In the lo cal egg market continues of very steady character with no change In the price list for tho week-end. Recepits are still Increasing with a greater movement into coolers. Demand for chickens continues unabated and In excess of the cur rent supply. There appears a more General desire on the part of buy ers to pay extreme values In or der to get their dally neeos 01 poul try. While demand Is good for all lines of country killed meats of quality, the call Is somewhat easy for poor to ordinary stuff. This applies equally to hogs, veal and lamb. First full carload of California asparagus of the season has arrived In Portland. The Initial shipment came Saturday. General trading In 'grass Is from 13 to 19 cents ac cording to quality. While there Is quite fair call for the ordinary packs of apples, the better grade stuff Is finding less favorable movement. Primary points are inclined to hold prices un changed. There continues a shortage of of' ferlngs of hot-house rhubarb here. Demand from other sections Is so good at favorable prices that the summer growers are not filling full orders. Prices -here firmer but un changed.

SKY ROBBERY THEORY STIMULATES SEARCH (Continued from page 1) Into the search while ot:-vr police forces all along the route are co operating. Belief was expressed by those searching for Maury Graham and his plane that the ship did not land In the territory over which the search has been concentrated up till now and that if the plane did crash theives stole tne man and burned the wreckage. The plane was lost In a blinding Enowstorm on January 10, when Maury Graham was making a flight between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. U. S. TO CLAIM ANTARCTIC ISLANDS (Continued from page 1) The British note, received a year before the American reply was dis patched, stated that the Byrd ex plorations were going to be con ducted on territory claimed by the British extending over an area es timated at 5.000,000 square miles. an offer of assistance to the explor er was made the basis for the communication. The American reply was so word ed that the way was left open for further discussion of the sover eignty question. The reply was de layed a whole year to permit an ex tensive study of the question of sovereignty claims. Press dispatch on March 13 said Bvrd in an Interview held, that his discoveries had been for the entire world as much as for his own coun try and that he did not Intend to lav claim to Antarctic lands for the United States. His ideal, he said, was to secure complete understand ing between the United States and the British empire. MKS. SARAH A. IDDINGS Mrs. Sarah A.

PRICE AVEARAGE SHOWS DECLINE IN DATS TRADE New York (IP) Only a tew man aged to Bain In Saturday's stock market short session. Trading was fairly active running above the pace of a week ago. According to preliminary calcu lation the Dow Jones fc Company industrial average declined 0.83 to 0.17 to 151.31. Sales for the day totalled 1,530,730 shares, compared with 1,690,840 shares last Saturday. The market drifted lower on the opening, rallied somewhat and then met selling again near the close. Losses, however, were relatively small except In a few Instances and these generally were high, priced snares. Several of the oils were in de mand although the majority of these issues eased off on prom-taking alter their rapid rise of the past few days. Simms Petroleum made a new high for the year at 32'.fe, up Hi, and Pierce Petroleum made a 103 peak at 6'i, up Others of the oil group sold off fractions to 1, the most severe In Atlantic refining. A. M. Byers was a feature of the Industrials, running up more than points. U. S. Steel held barely steady while We&tinghouse Electric, Union Carbide, General Motors, Packard and Bethlehem eased frac tionally to 3 points. Utilities were about steady, feat ured by a rally in International Telephone which made a new low on the movement in early trading. United Gas Company on the curb soared more than & points on re ports that an agreement had been reached with Electric Bond and Share to form a new natural gas company with resources of around $250,000,000 and output of 200 -000. 000 .000 cubic feet of natui. gas annually, about k of the entire output of the country. This would be the largest unit in the industry. Bonds continued to move up on easy money prospects although deal ing were lighter than Friday's pace. Cotton firmed up on fur ther short covering.- Grains eased off but wheat rallied slightly near the end of the session. HUBBARD GROWERS OF FLAX TALK GO-OP Hubbard Discussion of the forma tion of a cooperative in the north ern end of Marion county to handle the flax crops of this district was had at a meeting In the grange hall at Barlow Friday night with Col. W. B. Bartram, prominent In tns flax and linen Industry of tne state in attendance. Waldo S. Brown, Julius Stauffer and Elmer Stauffer of Hubbard, attended the meeting which was the third of a series of this character. No definite action was taken Fri day night on whether the district will organize for the purpose of se curing federal financial support. If the project goes through as out lined, it would mean the establish ment of a scutching plant In the northern part of the county witn Aurora and Canby favored as its location, although there is consid erable sentiment toward its estab lishment In the Mt. Angel district. Siren to Tell Of Boys Gone , From Woodburn Wood bam The siren at the state training school has a meaning when sounded the people of this vicinity that Is not understood by all and an explanation of the signals used might prove helpful In capturing escapes. One long blast is blown slcnifyinf attention and this Is followed- by shorter blasts, one for each boy who has es caped. Thus long blast fol lowed by two short one would .Indicate the escape of two boys. Superintendent W. H. Bail lie Is very anxious that the people be informed of the meaning of these signals in order that they may aid In the capture of escaping boys. A reward of $5 is offered for every boy returned to the school. JOSEPH STIRS UP POLITICAL POT (Continued from page I) the fact that the strategists for rival candidates are seriously disturbed by Joseph's declaration, some dis interested observers go so far as to concede him a chance of securing the nomination H he Is able to curb his vituperative Impulses and con fine his fight to popular Issues with which T.e has long been auuiatca In a militant capacity. Others refuse to give serious consideration to his chances, but argue that his candi dacy upsets the relative standing of the other leading candidates in comparative strength. Generally It is agreed that, barring tne possiou Itv of Joseph being nominated will elfect the strength of the others as follows: Strengthen Senator Harry Cor- bett by further dividing the anti- conscrvatlve vole, sponsors 01 mis theory pointing out that Corbett's appeal Is to voters who think In entirely different channels from those who would be attracted by the more colorful and sensational tactics of the pther candidates. Rob Senator J. E. Bennett 01 much of the anti-utility support that has generally been credited to him. Running on the same plat form. It la argued, Joseph should attract most of the radical antl uttllty voters away from Bennett by his superior cunning and Ingenuity and the fact that he has, at least, a bare chance of being nominated whereas Bennett Is beaten before he starts. Steal from Senator Charles Hall much of the straggling vote Hall hoped to gamer by his declarations in favor of closer regulation of utilities and public reservation of undeveloped power resources. Jo seph, It Is also argued, will likely wean away from Hall the support of the Christian Scientists who were generally credited with being friendly to the Coos Bay senator. Whatever advantage uovernor Norblad may havo. gained from his opportunist maneuver In rebuk ing the public service commission for its stand In relation to the Portland street car controversy Is also swept away, some assert, by Joseph's candidacy. Joseph, they .recall, has been prominently and favorably identified In the public mind with the people's battles against the telephone company, the electric light and street car cor porations. His radio talks against ths merger of the Northwestern and Portland Electric Power com panies are credited with being largely responsible for the defeat of that proposal by the people of Portland. What measure of success attends Joseph's bid for the nomination hinges upon two things, In the minds of close students of Oregon politics: first, upon his ability to Invade the upstate communities with a line of campaign reasonng that appeals to them, and second, upon the tactcs he pursues. If Joseph will curb the spleen which has handicapped his efforts In past campaigns, forbear from placing too much emphasis upon his personal grievances rising out of the disbarment proceedings still pending, and confine himself to a syit-'matlc battle on the utility cor porations and the public service commission he may go' far in the primaries, it Is pretty well agreed among impartial observers. That his advisers will be able to curb Joseph's tendency toward per sonal abuse is doubted, even with such seasoned lieutenants at his el bow as Bert Haney, his law partner, and W. A. Delzell, once state sealer of weights and measures and later secretary to Governor Pierce during the hectic legislative session of 1925. Delzell, while a democrat, Is report ed from Portland as sitting in the capacity of executive secretary in Joseph's headquarters. This ar rangement further recalls the 1925 legislative session when Joseph, Delzell and a certain Portland poli tical editor composed the board of strategy that turned the efforts of legislative leaders to put Governor Pierce "in hole" Into a sweeping victory for the executive. Between Pierce, Joseph, Delzell and a small group of senators the legislative organization was made to swallow much of Its own medi cine and profess a liking for it, George Joseph cannot yet be counted out of any picture that may be drawn of the present guberna torial situation among the republi cans, but there are practically none who will concede him so much as a chance of election. His nomination, In view of his past violent differ ences with the leaders of his part, would be the signal for a "bolt" that would elect almost any candidate the democrats might select. Even the persistence with which certain Influences are attempting to discredit Senator McNary and In duce Frank M. Warren, or some eauallv prominent figure to come out in opposition to him. Is not seri ously disturbing McNary's friends. The senator, they assert, is too strongly entrenched to be defeated for the nomination in a campaign 01 only two months' duration, particu larly In view of the fact mat nis al leged failure to battle for a lumber duty In the tariff bill is not sub stantiated by the record of Mc Nary's efforts on behalf of the lumbermen. One noticeable shift In the cam paign situation during the past week has been a conspajg slow ing down in the progress Governor Norblad had apparently been mak ing. While it Is doubtful if the controversies with the sportsmen of the state and the members of the public service commission in which the governor has Indulged, have weakened him materially, there Is ample evidence that his tendency to talk about everything and noth ing Is becoming tiresome to many. What effect his action In desig nating Irl S. McShcrry as his pri vate secretary may have remains to be seen, but there Is no question ing the fact that the appointment was not' popular in some iiuarters which had been friendly to the governor. Norblad has been comparatively Inactive during the past week, most of which he has spent at his desk here. He has also filled several speaking engagements at near-by points and nas spent some time with his campaign managers In Portland. Corbett continues his personal contact, handshakl n g meUtods reminiscent of the tactics of George E. Chamberlain. Passage of another week should see the battle on In dead earnest, with all of the candidates sounding off the keynotes that are to guide them through the ensuing eight w"ek... WHEAT CLOSES ABOUT STEADY IN CHICAGO PIT Chicago (LP) Decided strength in corn and a stronger Winnipeg mar ket brought a good rally in wheat and that closed about steady on the board of trade. There was strong government buying and commission and local support. The firmness at Winnipeg indicated a fairly good export business while Buenos Aires also recovered to close Uc lower af ter an easy start. Sentiment was not quite so gloomy. Commission houses and locals added to the lines of corn bought Friday and shorts covered on the light stock and less ening country movement. Oats went up with corn. At the close wheat was He lower to Kg higher, corn was li to 2 5-8 cents higher and oats V to c higher. Provisions were 5 to 15 points lower. Chicago (ff) Reports of good rains at points southwest led early Saturday to lower prices here for wheat. Downturns in quotations at Liverpool, ascribed to cheaper of ferings from Argentina, counted al so as a bearish influence. Opening 3-8 to i on, Chicago wheat futures afterward kept near to the initial, range. Corn and oats devel oped firmness, with corn starting at k decline to He advance, and later scoring gains a if around.

Nursery Stocks4n Valley Cleaned Out In Some Varieties Starting the season with light stocks Marion county nurserymen are pretty fairly well cleaned out in a number of items, particularly of fruit stocks, reports Knight Pearcy. rie states that cherries are virtu-- ally wiped off the market as far nurseymen are concerned and that thousands of Montromency trees could have been sold if they had been available with every tree of that variety taken Out of the hands of nurserymen. For the first time in years prune trees are virtually cleaned out of the nursery rows with probably not more than 250 of them left avail able In the county. While, the stock of prune trees was fairly lliht be cause of the dragging market for the past few years nevertheless the cleanup on them was surprising even to the nurserymen themselves. Walnuts and filberts are both mvlng nicely. Pearcy reports, and while there is no clean up on them the sale has been good but he be lieves there will be enough stock on hand to supply the demand be fore the selling season on them is over. While In the pear line there hasn't been a very heavy planting in this section nevertheless South ern Oregon Invaded the nursery field here and elsewhere and has made a virtual cleanup on those trees. This grew out of the heavy sales of pears In the Rosrue river valley last year at high prices which have caus?d a planting boom there regardless of the fact that it is reported the Medford pear grow ers are left with a vast quantity of pears still on hand in storage In the east. Strawberry plants have probably been in the biggest demand of any single item and all nurserymen have been sending back real money as refunds on Uiese plant orders for weeks While this was hard medicine they couldn't scare up the plants in any manner. A dry fall caused a good percentage of the plants to fall to root and in many cases big plant growers who secured rooted plants have turned around a,nd planted their plants for their own use Instead of letting them go out as usual through nursery chan nels. There are still gooseberry plants available although last fall it looked - as though the demand would be in excess of the supply because of revived interest In the gooseberry among cannerymen. There has been quite a big planting of gooseberries In spots but these have been made largely by old growers who have raised their own plants. Pearcy looks for something doing In the gooseberry line next year, particularly on the strength of reports of some five cent con tracts on gooseberries. Money can be made In gooseberries at that price and if many of them are used it Is bound to restore enough faith in the berry to cause additional plantings next year. i Ornamental stocks are Just now startin? to move fairly well. Ap- 1 parently winter Injury was not fatal In the greatest number of cases with the main Injury being to leaf and top growth which can be rectified by pruning. With some shrubs the winter Injury will prob ably work actually as a benefit as it will force a long needed pruning. Pearcy says that probably neither the ornamentaf stocks In nursery rows or home yards are damaged to a big extent. The outlook, how ever, seems to be good for quite s movement In ornamentals this year.
