THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON -
BUTTER BARELY
STEADY, HEAVY
HENS STRONGER
Portland (IP) Market for butter Is
just holding Its own as regards
price. Decreasing make continues In
all Pacific slope sections although
this Is having very little Influence
upon the price.
There continues a lack of change
In egg market trading here, Shad
ing of values continues especially
among northern Interests. The co
ops here report no change In selling
Values.
Market for heavy hens Is Just
about steady: the recent easiness
having disappeared. Light hens and
broilers are generally unchanged In
price, although some are quoting
card prices lower.
Recent offering of kippered shad
by local interests has made an un
usual hit in the trade. Owing to the
extreme quality of the fish, repeat
sales have been unusually liberal for
a new offering.
While lambs appear to show a
slightly better demand since the
heavy price reduction, the market
for country killed meats in general
Is very quiet. This applies alike to
veal and beef. Hogs are fairly stea
dy. With Increasing local supplies and
with promise of a carload movement
from central Washington, the mar
ket for nen potatoes Is losing some
of Its recent strength although no
general change In the price Is as
yet noticeable.
ADVERTISING AS
BOON TO PEAR
GROWER URGED
Wenatchee, Wash. fP) The neces
sity and value of advertising and
merchandising as a means of In
creasing the sale and improving the
price of pears was stressed in a
statement Issued by the Pacific Pear
O rowers' association of which David
H. Rocnberg, Mcdford, Ore., is presi
dent. Approximately $80,000,000 Is In
vested In 10.000,000 pear trees now
growing in Pacific coast states, the
association pointed out, and the sig
nificant fact brousht out was that
less than one-half oT these pear
trees have yet reached bearing age.
This means, the report said, that
the future will bring lower prices
and poorer returns unless something
Is done to make people eat and use
more pears. The California orange
and lemon growers faced a similar
situation several years ago, the pear
association reported, but they met
It by establishing an advertising and
soiling fund ranging all the way
lrom 5 to 15 cents a box.
As the result the output of orang
es and lemons has more than dou
bled during the past 20 years, the
average price per box also has dou
bled. Salem Markets

A fairly large vol urns of bustuess,

were fairly firm. The slower demand
maae it practically impossinie to se
cure advances recently made in ask
ing prices. Bulk of sales continued to

CLIFF BY LUNATIC
(Continued from page 1)
rain, 7; Raymond, 5; and Donald, 3.
Raymond was alive when he was
picked up near the base of the
cliff but he died at St. Raphael's
hospital within an hour of the
tragedy.
The others died Instantly and
their bodies were recovered from
various positions on the rocky
slopes.
Scores of persons saw Spang
throw the bodies, as the cliff was in
full view of the streets of suburban
Westvillc.
While the excited observers ran
toward the park, they saw Spang
start down the perilous face toward
the body of his wife, which had
caught on a crag.
William Hague fired four shots
from a shotgun in an attempt to
frighten the killer away in hope
Mrs. Spang might be alive. One shot
whistled iast a policeman who had
started for Spang.
Spang was unable to reach his
wife's body, which he apparently
Intended to toss further down, and
paused on a narrow kdge about 250
feet up the cltff.
Police and firemen went to the
top of the rock ami one fireman,
William Barube, was lowered on a
rope toward Spank's ledge.
Spang shouted to the fireman to
halt or he would dash himself to
death. Barube paused 10 feet away
while Spank moved about on the
ledge nervously, muttering to him
self. He told the fireman in response
to questions that he was Raymond
Spang of Ansonia and had been un
employed. The scene remained thus for
about 15 minutes, with Spang cow
ering on the ledge, the fireman
afraid to scare him Into suicide and
hundreds of persons, mouths agape,
standing In the streets far below.
Then Spank carefully took off one
shoe and attempted to take off the
other, but it stuck. He crossed him
self and before Barube could inter
vene, dived.

APPLE DEMAND
SURPASSES ALL
EXPECTATIONS
Reviewing the fruit and vegeta
ble situation, the Portland bureau
of the U. S. Department of agri
culture says:
"Adu'iticaal motor truck receipt
of several hundred boxes of apples
from Yakima storages are expected
Saturday, to repteni&h jobbers
stocks. Demand for apples during
the last few weeks has surpassed all
expectations of the Jobbing trade at
Portland. Receipts of new-crop
apples, mostly Yellow Transparents.
from Kennewlck, Wash., are in
creasing daily.
"Strawberry receipts are light
again Saturday. Quality is mostly
ordinary, and" prices advanced an
other 25 cents per crate, to about
$2.75 for best berries. Hood River
loaded probably their last carload
of the season, last Wednesday. Al
though the Hood River crop was
light this year, prices were excel
lent, carlot sales ranging from $3.25
per crate upward.
'Cherry shipments from Yakima
and Umatilla county Oregon have
netted disappointingly low returns
in the east. This is due to mc
small size characterizing this years
cherries from those districts. Hood
River's cherries are now starting ta
move in volume, and the Willam
ette valley will stait shipping in
another week.
Celery from Brooks. Ore., Is now
being loaded at Portland in cars
of mixed vegetables.
'The cvereupply of cantaloupes
which existed at Portland last wek
has b?cn entirely absorbed, and
supplies and prices are now stabil
ized. Watermelons are a shade
lower Saturday.

SCKOOTVOTERS
IN CLEAR LAKE
DISTRICT RILED
Due to complications arising in
the election in the Clear Lake school
district, which have aroused more
talk in the district the past 'few
days than the governorship or the
downy mildew, word came from
there Saturday that probably an ef
fort would be made to call a special
meeting in the near future and at
tempt to iron out objections raised
to last Monday's meeting.
Allegations are made by various
residents of the district in one in
stance that some unqualified voters
cast ballots and in another that the
budget was not properly voted on.
It was stated that the district voted
on warrants to be lr-ld but did not
vote on the budget lor the coming
year.
It was also charged that dissatis
faction had sprung up as to the way
the voting was conducted. A resident
from there was in Salem Saturday
and this was further confirmed by
a report from the district, that vot
ing was carried on in two rooms,
one of these a room without a light
where blanks were distributed, voted
and collected.
It was also charged that no re
port was read at the meeting as to
money expended daring the last
term and that several of the chil
dren of the district were not enum
erated thus causing a loss to the
district from state money.
It Is stated that if a special meet
ing is not called by the board, there
is likely to be an effort by court
order to force one.

EXPANSION OF
WHEAT LANDS
GROWSYEARLY
Oklahoma City, (LP) Virgin prai
ries in the Panhandle sections of
Texas and Oklahoma promises to
soon become the "bread basket" of
the nation.
With farming rapidly replacing
ranching as a paying business,
thousands of acres of land over
which buffaloes and longhorns once
roamed in countlesss thousands are
being broken each year by the plow.
Estimated: wheat yield in west
ern Oklahoma this year is 40.000.-
000 bushels, while that of the Texas
Panhandle Is between. Growers face
a problem in getting the grain to
the market each year, but tuts tm
son railroad officials have announc
ed that 200,000 cars are now avail
able for transportation of the
grain.
Landowners have found that
whea farming is more prifttabie
than raising cattle, and are anxi
ously watching the fuccsss or fail
ure of the Federal Farm Board's
efforts in ftabUzing the nric; of the
grain.
Should the price of wheat ever
be dtab!izd to any murkeif de
gree, virtually every aco.ou of land
in the sparsely settled territory
would be planted in grain. State
Grain Im-psctor E. H. Linzee be
lieves. If such an agricultural program
is carried out. and it appears highiy
probable. Linzee says the small
wheat farmer may just as well quit
raising grain and devote his land
and labor to some other phase of
farming.
Linzee ba5cd his contention on
the fact that the western states
have Increased wheat acreage to
a remarkable extent since the ad
vent of the tractor and combine,
while there has been no decrease
in the older states and little, If
any, increase in consumption.
The matter of supply and de
mand always has caused prices to
regulate themselves eventually, but
it would seem that to stimulate the
price in a manner that will helu
the small farmer will only cause an
increased supply from the cheap
lands of the west, ' Linzee said.
Linzee pointed out that there are
two classes of wheat farmers In
the western states, the one who
plants from 50 to 100 acres on land
valued at from $150 to $209 an acre,
and another who Is plowing for the
iirst time thousands of acres ox
ranch land valued at from $20 to
$30 an acre.
The latter can use tractors and
combines and raise from 1.000 to
5,000 acres of . wheat each year
wnirn makes the cost of produc
tion low.
