BUTTERFAT AND
BUTTER PRICES
DECLINE A CENT
Portland, Or, OF) While demand
for butter locally appear! to be tak
ing care of the Increasing supply
and make here, prices were down
one cent pound for cubes on the
produce exchange for the late ses
sion. A similar cut Is shown In
print butter and butterfst, effec
tive Thursday morning.
While there continues no open
market change in the price of eggs
here, further weakness is snown
elsewhere. Price shading here Is
- becoming more general with much
storage rejected stock offering.
Efforts to depress the price of
. rhickens here appears to have again
failed for some of the leading op
erators are again quoting an advan
ced price. There is a real shortage
of hens and everyone In the trade
knows It. Broilers are weak to
lower with bids down to 17 cents
. pound.
Market for serine lambs Is In a
very bad way. Jack Bavlner of the
American Produce, reports sales no
higher than 20 cents and that Is
an extreme and obtainable only In
very limited way.
Good demand continues In the
market for country killed hogs here
with general sales of light blockers
at 15-ls'i cents pound. Veal are
steady but 17 cents appears the
general top for fancy stuff.
First regular offerings of Hood
River strawberries of the season
were made by the Ryan fruit com
pany. More locals are arriving and
selling $4-25-4.13 crate; the latter
being an extreme. The trade Is
. sour on Kennewicks. California
stock is easier and slightly lower.
Over at Yakima the trade Is again
. Inclined to excite Itself over old
potatoes with prices somewhat
stronger. New Californlans quoted
just about steady. Old Oregons are
moving well at late prices.
While there exists here and there
retailer who does not know any-
thing about Oregon stock that still
buys Callfomlan. the home grown
lettuce Is practically taking the
market. Quality was never better.
With greater supplies the price Is a
trifle lower.
With arrival of Oregon coast hail
but the Seattle interests are quite
willing to admit they have halibut
and that values are down. A boat
load was purchased by the West
ern Pish company with sales to
retailers at IS cents for medium.
Portland and the entire north
' west Is Thursday facing Its most
acute shortage of ripe tomatoes.
The Mexicans are about exhausted,
the Californlans are green and the
only supplies of note are local
hothouse. These are good.
There is a slight shortage of
asparagus offerings here. This ap
plies to both local and Columbia
river stock. Bain are again being
made at fl.lS-l.2S dozen bunches
for top stuff.
Puget Sound chlnook salmon Is
the only offering here. Selling 25
24 cents with head off.
Crabs from Shoalwater Bay and
from Warrenton are offering.
California bunch carrots are
slightly lower.
Lablsh lettuce Is selling $1.7
crate.
Gooseberries moving around 7 to
cents pound.

EXPECT CITY ISSUES
TOJTIR VOTERS
. (ContlnuMl from pg 1)
the methods of the insurgent ele
ment in the council which some
months ago wrested power and au
thority from Mayor T. A. Livesley
and his supporters. And then there
is the bus franchise question. This,
however, isn't attracting much at
tention, for no determined fight Is
being made against it.
Another interesting situation is
the fact that the Salem city regis
tration has reached a figure higher
than ever before, and totals more
than 10.000 voters. That most of
these will go to the polls seems cer
tain because of the Intense Interest
in the water question. Another
new situation is that Salem voters
will vote in 24 precincts instead of
18 as heretofore.
The proposed charter amendment
providing for acquisition of the
water system by the city from the
Oregon-Washington Water Service
company carries with It authority to
the city council to issue bonds for
the purpose in the sum of $1,200,000.
The election brings to a close a
determined fight on this issue.
With both Salem newspapers, cer
tain community organizations, and
a majority ox tne city council lav
oring the purchase they have been
brought into combat with the water
company through an. expensive ad
vertising campaign by the latter
and with a large group of down
town business men who favor post
ponement of the municipal owner
ship matter until the water com
pany has com I pe ted Improvements
now under way.
With both candidates for mayor
committed In favor of municipal
ownership of the water utility the
scrap between the two Is simply a
matter of which one can marshal
the most voters to the polls. Ed
ward Rosteln, one of the candi
dates for mayor, was for many years
In business in Salem, now retired,
and in a position to give close at
tention to the mayor's office, ills
opponent, P. M. Gregory, waa for
merly in active business here and
served on the school board. He
left Salem for a time, then returned
and Is again in business. His pres
ent location Is in the Hollywood
district, which has backed him In
the campaign. The Hollywood
community has been more active than
any other In the city In pressing the
municipal ownership question. The
outcome of the contest will amount
to election without a vote in No
vember. How the contest between Mark
Poulsen. Incumbent, and Prank T.
Wrightman for city recorder Is go
ing to turn out is in doubt. . Poul
sen has held the office for some
year. ' Wrightman has long been
identified with county affairs and
Is widely known. The contest has
not been bitterly waged. Whoever
wins the primary election will be
elected since them la no other can

has no opposition.
Por alderman In the first ward V.
B. Kuhn has no opposition. He is

accomplishment of that session was
a two paragraph statement which
placed the committee definitely on
record as supporting the political
activities of "five bishops." The
committee will not meet again un

Of these five, only four Cannon,
Edwin Mouzon, Joho M. Moore and
U. M. Dubose were known to have
been named by the Rev. Rembert
O. Smith of Washington, Oa., insti
gator of the charge. Since the pro

in much privacy, it was not possible
to ascertain the name of the fifth.
It was recalled, however, that the
Rev. Mr. Smith's book attacking
Cannon had named a fifth bishop
as one of the "four horsemen" over
whom Cannon was "pope."
Bishop Cannon, although jocular,
maintained hta attitude of non

THREATEN ORCHARDS
Dallas Tent - caterpillars are
showing up worse in many orchards
of the county this year than they
have for several years past. The.
last serious outbreak of this Insect
pest was about tlx or seven years
ago. Many people will remember
that the Corvallis-Taquina railroad
tracks were so gummed up by the
caterpillars that locomotives were
stalled on the hill near Summit.
Control measures for this insect
consist of cutting their nests off
the trees and burning them or
spraying with lead arsenate or
both.
At regular Intervals the caterpil
lars assume alarming numbers and
In many cases practically denude

Dallas The cherry maggot can be safely controlled and its
damage to the cherry crop of the county prevented jf every
one will carefully spray their trees at the proper time with
the standard spray remedy, -mis?
was the opinion of many success
ful cherry growers who met in
Dallas and West Salem Monday at
meetings scheduled by County Agent
J. R. Beck In conjunction witn en'
tomologlsU of the state college.
The meetings earlier In the week
were well attended and various
growers that were present indicated
that they were already being suc
cessful In the control of the cherry
fruit fly through careful spraying
with a mixture consisting of one
half pound of arsenate of lead, two
quarts of good syrup or molasses
and ten gallons of water, inese
were the first of a group of meet
ings being held throughout the val
ley during the current week for
the purpose ox getting tne cooper
ation of everyone to spray for the
control of this pest.
W. W. Harris of Palls City, states
that for the past three years he had
used this spray and thoroughly
covered both early and late cherry
trees with the result that he had
no wormy cherries whatever last
year when many who did not do
this had wormy cherries. Mr. Har
ris sprayed four times. C. C. Camp
bell of Rickreall, had a similar ex
perience, according to his state
ments, except that he did not find
it necessary to spray but twice with
the varieties of cherries that he has.
At the West Salem meeting sev
eral' growers testified as to the ex
cellent results they had obtained by
carefully applying the spray as soon
as notices were received and at the
proper intervals thereafter. .Ernest
Anderson on Route 1, stated that he
had done it by spraying twice.
Oliver Whitney of Brush College,
stated that he had used this spray
three times each season,
E. C. Hlggins of Zena, near West
Salem, reported that up to last year
he had always sprayed twice but
last year he only put on the first
spray and the result was he had a
good many maggots in nis late
cherries. A. R. Ewing of Wallace
Orchards, reported that by using
two sprays each of the last two
years he had eliminated previous
bad Infestation of some trees In
that orchard. These and similar
reports obtained elsewhere indicates
that when the spray Is applied care
fully, satisfactory results are ob
tained. S. C. Jones, newly appointed to
work on the cherry fruit fly prob
lem for the valley, stated in his
talk that the proper way to apply
this spray is to put some on aU
sides of the trees, shoot the ma
terial up into the air and let It
come down like rain oh the upper
side of the leaves. Although you
go completely around the tree, make
no attempt to saturate nor cover
the trunk and limbs. Some of the
bait should be on all sides of the
trees so that the fly does not have
to hunt for it. Mr. Jones also
stated that It would pay well to
spray adjoining trees where the fly
might be resting until Its eggs have
developed ready for laying.
In order to properly observe tne
time when the spray should be ap
plied, four observation cages have
been established in Polk county and
some twenty odd others in the rest
of the Willamette valley.
Cages in Polk county have been
placed In the orchards of P. J. Coad
and Joe Sibley of Dallas, Knowles
brothers, between Rickreall and In
dependence, and I Orlce of the
Eola Hills district. Mr. Jones will
visit all of the cages in the valley
every other day making an accur
ate check on tne emergence oi tne
fly and its number throughout the
season.
As in past years, notices will be
sent out from the county agent's
office as soon as the first fly ap
pears anywhere In the valley. New
cherry growers that are not on this
list should get In touch with Mr.
Beck and see that his name Is in
cluded.
The successful control of the
cherry fruit fly can briefly be sum
marized a depending on tnree
things: everyone spraying at the
proper time in the proper manner
with the proper material. Grow
ers who have had good control and
are Interested in protecting their
crop should encourage their neigh
bors to take- similar precautions.
One box of wormy fruit going' to
the cannery and then into the can

to Mr. Beck, who has been visit
ing a number of orchards during re

THREE REPUBLICANS
GROUPED FOR HONORS
(Continued from page 1)
place He between Norblad and Cor
bett, with Joseph's meteoric advance
as a candidate falling to carry him
beyond third place. To Corbett they
concede eastern ' Oregon and to
Norblad the coast counties, except
Curry, which would bring these two
candidates into the heavily popu
lated strip of counties extending
south from Portland through the
Willamette valley and into southern
Oregon on about even terms.
This latter strip is the recognized
battle ground and embraces two-
thirds of the voting strength of the
state. In most of its sections, ex
cept that portion south of Cottage
Grove, claims of pluralities are be
ing made by the managers for all
three of the leading candidates.
There is nothing to Indicate what
popular sentiment actually is, and
here Is where the "band wagon"
sitters will get in their influence.
Even that may be so widely split
as to have little effect.
Joseph also has his champions
among the prognostlcators, and
there Is no measure by which their
contentions that he will lead the
field can be disproved. There is
plenty of noise to confirm his pop
ularity, but the sceptics recall that
the campaign noise for certain can
didates tn previous elections has
been effectually silenced by the
counting of the ballots.
To Charles Hall Is generall con
ceded fourth place In the republi
can gubernatorial contest, and J. E.
Bennett and John A. Jeffery are
slated to finish in he order named.
An apathy prevailing throughout
the state toward the whole election,
except where local Issues have stun
ulated the electoral pulse, I gen
rally conceded to be a factor that
will have a bearing upon the final
outcome. No one in touch with the
situation anticipates that more than
40 percent of the total of 398,746
registered voters in the state will
go to the polls.
The registration lists show 284.241
republican and 103,293 democrats
registered. Thirty-five thousand
votes should nominate the republi
can candidate for governor with the
field split as it Is.
In the democratic camp only two
of the four candidates for governor
are considered in the running, with
Senator Ed Bailey, because of his
wider acquaintance In the populous
western part of the state considered
an easy favorite of Oeorge R. Wil
bur of Hood River. The other two
candidates are A. C. Hough and
Ed S. Piper.
Both parties have a contest on
for national committeeman. Of the

eran in the post, 1 considered safe
from any threat of defeat by Chas.

ly In Marion county, are not to be

POLICE BLOCK
RAID UPON SALT
DEPOT IN INDIA
Bombay, India (W Police blocked
the raid of Mrs. Sarojini Naidu and
her volunteers near the Dharasan
salt depot Thursday in one of the
quietest and most wlerd clashes of
the independence campaign inauru-
rated by the Mahatma Gandhi.
Authorities adopted the methods
of the Satyagraha, or passive re
sisters, to halt the raid. They forced
a cordon around the volunteers
headed by Mrs. Naidu and merely
prevented them from moving.
wnen tne police halted them, Mrs.
Naidu announced that they jrould
not go back to their camp.
we win not move," the police
superintendent replied.
The volunteers gave Mrs. Naidu a
chair and they all sat down to
await a move by police, who quietly
stood - their ground.
The long-awaited raid, led by Mrs.
Naidu, started at 6:30 a. m , when
she left the Satyagraha camp at
the head of the first group of volun
teers, reiterating her intention of
seeking "death or victory."
On two previous occasions the
raid was stopped by the arrests of
Gandhi and his first successor, Ab
bas Tyabji.
The thinly-clad volunteers trudged
along the road to the government
salt works In ragged formation.
equipped with pliers to cut the
barbed wire barricade police had
erected. The police force, strength
ened by reinforcements from Jal
alapur. awaited them.
The volunteer procession was met
on the route by the superintendent
of police accompanied by SO excise
policemen and a dozen district po
licemen armed with sticks. The
procession was halted about half
a mile from, the camp.
"Forming a cordon of his men, the
police superintendent managed t
block the path of the Satyagrahas
and also cut them off from spec
tators in the rear.
You cannot proceed. the sup
erintendent informed Mrs. Naidu.
"We will not go back.' the poet
ess and leader replied. "We will
stay here.
"We are going to stay here, too.
and offer Satyagraha ourselves, as
long as' you stay," the superintend
ent said, ordering his men to stand
their ground.
They parleyed for a short time
and then Mrs. Naidu . ordered a
chair brought from a nearby bouse.
She sat down and wrote letters and
talked jovially with her friends. Her
followers squatted on the ground
nearby, many of them engaged in
spinning cloth.
