INFERIOR GRADE
BUTTER STRONG
EGGS STEADY
Portland HP Huge demand for
low grade butter from the buyers
has resulted In stiffening of the
quotation for such offerings In ad
dition to the general strength of
the butter trade generally.
There was no further change In
the prloe of either cube of print
butter or butterfat for the day.
Butterfat values are mostly 38
cents for Portland No. 1 delivery,
although 39 cents is being paid by
some.
There was practically no change
In the egg market situation here
for the day. The local co-ops re
ported prices being generally main
tained. Mediums and pullets are
not so active.
There was again a lack of change
In the live poultry trade for the
day. Receipts and demand appear
equal In all divisions at the mo
ment. There Is a call for turkeys
with practically none coming.
Late receipts of country killed
lambs have somewhat overcrowded
local trade channels with a result
ing easiness in the price situation.
Demand for low grade lambs Is
exceptionally good on account of
a price war among retailers for
such trade.
Becepits of quality lightweight
calves are rather limited at the
moment with a resulting strength
ening of the price situation. Sales
of calves are on a firm basis. Hogs
are In active call.
General strengthening of the
peach trade Is indicated with a rush
of orders from the midwest to
Yakima, according to a message
received by the Pacific Fruit Co.
The local trade is more active with
prices sustained.
Further gain of strength is indi
cated In the market for onions.
Walla Walla with only a nominal
supply, has shown several advances
In the week while Yakima will not
start for a week or ten days.
While the price of other north'
west cantaloupes are declining
somewhat as a result of greater
supplies, tne market on Dlllard
st ' Is held up well on account of
extreme quality.
Medford Bartlett pears are find
ing a good sale with a reduction
of 25 cents here.
Potato demand Is active with
prices unchanged here. Slow in
country.
First carload of Irrigon water
melons of the season reported in
by the Pacific Fruit Co.
Sugar is weak at late price re
ductions. Lemons have recovered the loss
of Thursday.
Tomato market is a trifle easier;
some shading.
Green beans are still weak.
Corn is not quite so firm with
more arriving.

BULL FROG SEEKS
FIGHT WITH DOG
York, S. C, (LP) Believe it or not,
but bull frogs are belligerent. In the
lake at the York water supply sta
tion are thousands of bull frogs.
Guy Parrott, express messenger
caught a big one and brought It to
town on a string. On the main
street. In front of a mercantile es
tablishment, Parrott let the frog hop
on the street.
Someone in the crowd had a ter
rier, and the frog showed plenty of
fight after the dog growled at It.
The bull frog suddenly grew to
several times its normal size, ac
cording to Parrott, and was per
fectly willing to fight the dog whose
owner decided the frog was too un
usual an "animal" for his dog to
fight.

GRAIN MARKET
HOLDS WITHIN
NARROW RANGE
Chicago (LPV It was a quiet ses
sion on the board of trade Friday
with Brains holding In a narrow
range. Prices on wheat were easy
with the market having a fairly
heavy undertone, but corn and oats
were firm. Short covering and a
good class of commission house and
buying near the close brought a
reaction from the Inside figures,
wheat and corn being unevenly
steady and oats sharply higher.
Fear of farm board action and
weakness at Winnipeg and Liver
pool were the causes of the disap
pointing in wheat.
At the close wheat was H cent
lower to U cent higher, corn was
cent lower to cent higher
and oats were 1 to ltt cents high
er. Provisions were strong.
Chicago (IP) Wheat and corn
averaged lower in price during the
early dealings Friday. Estimates
that the Canadian wheat yield this
season would total 350,000,000 bush
els, nearly all grading No. 1, No. 2
or No. 3 and ox excellent quality.
acted as a bearish influence. Be
sides, arrivals of wheat at Winnipeg
Friday totaled 412 cars, compared
with 77 cars a year ago. Corn price
upturns failed to hold in the face
of wheat weakness. Opening at
cent off to s cent up, wheat after
ward underwent material setbacks
all around. Corn started unchanged
to 7 -8c higher but receded to be
low Thursday's finest.
SALZMAN TO .

vice of the state August 1, 1920, and
has been in the service longer than
any other man except Raffety.
"Salzman," Ho&s said, Friday, "Is
one of the officers whose discharge
from the service was sought by
Raffety. I wouldn't consent to
this after making a very thorough
Investigation of Raffety's charges
against him. Including a trip to
The Danes where I conferred with
a number of prominent persons."

INDUSTRIALS IN
HIGHER CLOSING
RAILS DECLINE
New York (LP The stock market
moved narrowly Friday after re
gaining early losses, but the close
was irregular.
The Dow-Jones preliminary In
dustrial average rose 1.44 to 232.71,
while the rail average declined 0.38
to 127.39.
Sales totaled 1,135,680 shares, the
smallest since August 6, compared
with 1,712,810 shares Thursday.
U. S. Steel was the feature in the
industrial list, rising to a new high
on the move at 168!4, up !. It
cased from that level late in the
day. High grade Industrials such
General Electric, Johns Man-
vllle, American Can, were firm and
some special issues such as Var
adium, Worthlngton Pump, oh
Foster Wheeler, were firm.
General Motors turned active late
In the day and crossed 45, against
a previous dose of 44.
Several weak spots developed.
These included Anaconda and Ken
necott In the coppers, both making
new lows: B. and O. dropped in the
rails, making a new low since 1926
About 25 other issues made new
lows for the year or longer or
equalled their lows.
Utilities held firm to the end of
the day, featured by a wide gain
in standard Gas.
Weekly business reviews had
more hopeful aspect, Bradstreet's
stating that the better feeling in
evidence last week was continued,
accompanied by slightly better buy
ing of iau goods and slight exten
sion of the pact of some manu
facturing industries.
Other news of the day was mixed.
McKesson and Robbins, large man
ufacturing druggists, reduced their
dividend from $2 to l and the
stock promptly dropped more than
a point. Goodyear announced it
would cut production to 80 per cent
of present capacity in large tires
and to 25 per cent of present ca
pacity in small sizes, bringing out
scliung in the stock.
A constructive factor was word
from Washington that the under
secretary of the treasury, Ottden
Mills, was quoted as saving there
was a possibility of continuing that
one per cent cut in income taxes
in effect for the year 1929.
The decline of $27,000,000 in bro
kerage loans reported this- week
was not considered significant in
that the gains of the week included
were brought about mostly by short
covering, an operation which would
not Increase loans.
Cigarette production Increased
more than a billion cigarettes for
the tobacco industry in July and
American Tobacco Co., set a new
record in Lucky Strike output. Tills
helped American Issues and the
whole tobacco list firmed up with It.
SABOTAGE
SPEARMINT OIL
DISTILLED AT
LAKE LABISH
Experimental harvest and distil
la t ion of spearmint from a 10-acre
field Is now under way at the big
still on the E. A. and J. O. Hayes
holdings in the Lake Lablsh district.
This is the first time that spear
ment has been grown In the dis
trict, the Hayes having purchased
the roots in California last fall.
Early runs from the still indicate
that the oil yield is heavier than
that derived from a corresponding
amount of peppermint hay. No ef
fort is being made at re-distillation,
which generally recovered two or
three gallons of oil during a day's
run.- Incidentally a "day" at the
mint still during the harvest Is
from 17 to 18 hours.
The Hayes' still has several units,
with the oil running from one tub
or another continually. The still
has made a record as high as 130
gallons of oil a "day" with the av
erage run under 100 gallons a day.
Peppermint cutting is starting
now and a few days permitted for
the hay to cure in the fields. Dis
tillation of the peppermint oil will
start Monday. -It is expected that
a good yield will be obtained this
year as green hay has produced
two and one-nair gallons of oil per
tub. The still as will others In the
district, will be in full operation
next week.
The Hayes have no intimation
yet of the price to be received for
their spearmint oil.
G. WASHINGTON
UNIVERSITY TO
SHIFT SYSTEM
Washington (LB A complete re
organization of the educational de
partment, which will restore educa
tional democracy and re-establish
"master fellow" relationships be
tween teachers and students, has
been announced by the George
Washlgton university here.
The university believes that by
divorcing the administrative func
tions of the school from the educa
tional and by placing the control of
courses of study in the hands of
the faculty, it will re-establish edu
cational democracy. In addition,
the plan further accomplishes a
return to the "master fellow" rela
tionship which vitalizes teaching
and which, with the advent of mass
education, has been largely lose
sight of.
Among 'the measures adopted by
the university are the plan of di
visional organization which places
and interprets the office of the
Dean as that of a student person
nel officer, the creation of new di
visions of study, the organization
of a Junior and senior college, and
the establishment of graduate coun

RUM RINGD0NATI0N
Continued from page 1)
the stand as a government witness
late Thursday and picked un the
thread of his story that the live
former prohibition officials on trial
had entered Into a protection sys
tem with rum runners. The five de
fendants are: Lyle, William M.
Whitney, his assistant, Earl Corwln
and Richard Fryant, agents, and C.
T. McKlnney, former assistant U.
S. attorney.
Before leaving the stand Thurs
day, Olmsted had told of giving
Hubbard $500 and a radio with
which to bribe Whitney to "let a
bootlegger off easy."
"About that time, Hubbard told
me that Whitney had called him
in and accused him of working with
bard told me he had admitted that
me," Olmsted testified Prldav. "Hub
to Whitney. Hubbard said Whitnev
had told him that he had always
oeen a prohibition agent and that
Whitney had nothing In particular
against me."
Olmsted said he and Hubbard had
talked over the matter of making a
protection agreement and decided
to go Into It.
He said Hubbard told him his
contributions to Whitney could be
disguised as legal fees for work
wnitncy was doing for Hubbard in
civil suits over the latter s radio
enterprises.
Olmsted said he was suspicious at
first that Whitney was laying a trap
for him but that about the middle
of March or the first of April, 1925,
he decided to work definitely under
a protection system.
"About this time Al told me it
was necessary to take in Corwln be
cause he had charge of the agents.
Hubbard told me Corwln wanted a
win was worth more than 1100 or
radio. I told Al I did not think Cor
$7000 a month. I also told him to
give Corwln the radio, which he said
he did and also a $100 bill,- said
Olmsted,
Olmsted then told of the contri
bution to Lyle for the W. C. T. U.
"Prom this time on Hubbard was
almost in the capacity of my pri
vate secretary. He always knew all
about my operations, supervised the
upkeep of the boats, settled up with
the customers and paid off the
help," he then said.
Olmsted said Hubbard told him
about making payments to "EarL
BUI and Lyle."
"Did he tell you how they felt
about it?"
"Yes. they sal J they felt real
good about it. He said Whltnjy
even asked about my personal wel
fare and said he hoped I was get
ting along all right" , j
Olmsted said he had kept a rec
ord of the amount paid federal of
ficials from time to tune, but had
not saved it because "it Is not sood
ethics In the bootlegging business." j

temMMaws
vast embassy
holding plan
Washington (LP) A vast diploma
tic building program to create an
"American owned headquarters for
every American mission abroad" is
planned by Dr. Henry W. Temple of
Pennsylvania, new chairman of the
House Foreign Relations Commit
tee. Millions of dollars would be spent
in the project and many years would
elapse before it is completed even
if authorized by Congress but this
does not deter Chairman Temple.
The program already has been giv
en a start with an athorizatlon of
$10,000,000 for some 25 missions. He
merely intends to give all the oth
ers an equal benefit. In the project
he apparently has the support of
other foreign buildings officials for
Representative J. Charles Llntbi
cum of Maryland is sponsoring a
$2,500,000 mission in Argentina and
Senator Claude A. Swanson of Vir
ginia has been lnfluetial in promot
ing a Madison memorial embassy
at Lima, Peru. ,
Congressman Temple's plan is to
have (permanent American-owned
buildings at every post where there
is a diplomatic or consular official
regularly stationed. At present by
far the most offices of this kind are
merely rented from local foreign
owners.
"American - owned headquarters
for every American mission abroad"
is his slogan. "I should like to see
this accomplished as soon as pos
sible," he told the United Press.
"We now have authorized $10,000,
000 for various buildings which is
being used in a number of countries
but I should like to see this work
extended. A start was made under
the late Representative Stephen
Porter who was chairman of the
Foreign Relations committee. I
heartily supported his projects and
was responsible, In fact, during one
of his absences for guiding through
the House the appropriation for $1,
250,000 to rebuild our embassy in
Tokyo alter the great earthquake.
I think that the only satisfactory
way to have our foreign service
housed is for the government to .
own all its headquarters."
A report furnished by the De
partment of State shows that the
United States maintains abroad 51
diplomatic missions of which 14 are
embassies and 37 are legations. It
also maintains 47 consulates-general;
228 consulates, 16 vice -consulates,
53 agencies and three special
establishments In which a ministry
and consulate general are combined.
This makes a total of 398 foreign
missions. A number of these, how
ever, are not regarded as necessar
ily permanent stations.
