Re turning home from a show with her son, Stelling showered her with in vective, she said. Gale went upstairs, secured a small revolver and shot Stelling four times, once in each arm, and once in the neck and chest, accord ing to police. Stelling died a few mo ments later. The boy was taken to the deten tion home for questioning by detec tives Saturday. His father, manager of an exclusive women's apparel hop here, had been divorced from Mrs. Stelling twice but the decrees were vitiated both times by recon ciliation.

The summer started unusually dry and a number of peasants no ticed in their wells a greasy liquid with the flavor of gasoline: while in the center of the little city of Tuch ola, a local baker, who drilled a new water well, found In it nothing but crude oil. This oil burned with a light flame even before It was re fined. A geologist has begun Investiga tions U detrmine whether the quan tities of oil in the corridor arc worth exploitation.

URGE DOUGLAS COUNTY TO RAISE MATCH MONEY The county court of Douglas coun ty Is urged by Governor Norblad, in a letter Saturday, to make "her culean efforts" to raise the match money needed for completion of the Roosevelt highway through that county. He asks that this be done before the next meeting of the state highway commission. A 4.4 mile stretch of the highway in Douglas county Is part of the final grading project that will open that highway along the enttr Ore gon coast. 'All of the other coast counties have contributed their portion," the governor writes, "and it appeals to me that since Douglas county is in so much better shape financially to meet its quota than the other counties have been, it ought to meet what looks to me is a real emergency, and, if necessary, by some method meet the situation. The condition Is critical and ur gent. The picture as now presented is that the state and the counties have spent millions of dollars look ing to the completion of the Roose velt highway. All is in readiness for the letting of all of the con tracts for the grading of the re maining portions with the exception of a small portion in your county. That means, then, that u your people cannot find a way to do your portion of this work that this millions of dollars of Investment will be a practical loss to the state until such time as your county can do its share." HOP WAREHOUSES FILLED WITH CROP Independence The Southern Pa cific warehouses are practically fill ed with baled hops already and the balance of the crop in this vicinity will have to be transferred to Sa lem or held in local storage. The new warehouse here holds about 7500 bales, and the old building about the same amount. There will be practically 4000 bales to send to out side 6torage. Picking has been finished In this locality and baling is well under way, the smaller growers having completed and await the contractor to take them in. The quality is fine this year and in a very few cases are there any traces of mould. AIRPLANE DIVE AID TO HEARING, CLAIM El Paso, Tex., P Two Fl Paso- ans who dropped 9.000 feet In an airplane credit the feat with im proving their hearing. Hamilton Binkley. 20, had hot coffee splashed in his ears when an infant. Impairing his hearing. Mrs. Paye Hodges Hart suffered impaired hearing after an attack of influenza -icr' years ago. Recently iney were taken into the rare atmosphere 11.000 feet above the municipal airport, and 15.000 feet above sea level. They shivered in the intense cold. Suddenly Pilot Curtis Quick dived his powerful plane. For nearly three minutes he held it on 1 a bullet-like course earthward. The screech of wind and the roar of ttie propeller, loud enough to ! deafen unprotected ears, stirred the auricular nerves of both Mrs. ; Hart and Binkley. They report their hearing has improved greatly since the inci dent. I LAST VETERAN DIES South Bend, Ind., IIP) The 21st i Indiana battery with Its bright civil war record today was only a memory. Its last surviving mem brr Charles A. Lawon. 89. was burled here this week. BEAR EFFORTS RESISTED BUT STOCKS LOWER New York, IP Further efforts of the bears to continue the re action on the stock exchange in progress for the last two weeks met some resistance Saturday. The Dreliminary calculation plac ed Dow- Jones and Co., Railroad average at 124.13, off 1.30 and a new low since March 8, 1921. The oreliminary Industrial aver age was down 0.(32 at 212.65, less than a point above the low for the year made on June 24, at zh m. Sales for the day totaled 1,709,090 shares, the largest short session since June 1, when the total sales amounted to 1,966.610 shares. A week ago the total was 832,420 shares. For a time prices gave ground and U. S. Steel broke through its low on the reaction, touching it)1, where it was off 1 '.4 net. Toward the close, however, the market met support in various sec tions. Steel came back a point from Its low and other leaders followed. The gains were not sufficient to bring the list above the previous close and the finish was Irregularly lower. A sharp attack was made against the rails and Atchison broke more than 5 points of which about half was regained, southern Railway dropped more than 3 and Canadian Pacific nearly 5 while Pennsylvania equalled its low lor the year at 697h, off l'i. Oil shares were mixed with Stan dard of New Jersey down and Rich field up. Utilties met support after an early drive which brought Ana conda and Kennecott to new lows. Motors were lractionally lower, Special issues such as Allied Chem ical and Checker Cab were down sharply. Checker was turned over In large blocks, one of them 10,000 shares at 27, off fractionally. Later It broke more than 2 points. The bearish element was helped by a further decline in grain prices. Wheat and corn were down sharply, the September wheat op tion touching a new low for 24 years. Cotton futures closed last night at new seasonal lows and made further declines In Saturdays session. Another bearish Item was word from Youngstown that steel opera tions there next week would be at a SO per cent capacity, against 65 per cent in the present week. Re public Steel made a new low at 26, off 2 points. Bethlehem, an ex ception, advanced. Against the rails were the Aug ust reports. The first 57 roads to report had net operating Income above July, but off 31.6 per cent from August, 1929 and 228 per cent from August 1928. i Motor equipment continued un der heavy pressure and Motor stocks were depressed. In the truck division, Broadway made a new low for the year. , I PRUNES BREAK DOWNRAPIOLY Corvall is Never before has there been such a tendency for the local prunes to break down as tbis year, Benton county growers report. Not only has this case been prevalent in the local orchards but also around Dallas and in the Umpqua valley. One of the largest prune growers In Benton county started his har vest but after four days closed down for the rest of the season. Prunes picked one day would break down before 24 hours had expired when normally they could stand in the boxes longer and yet be all right for the drier. The brown rot this season Is re ported worse than for several years, breaking out soon after the -prune is picked. Prunes purchased from the local markets cannot be left standing more than half, the nor mal length of time or they will be unfit for canning as the brown rot will have shown Itself throughout the box. CLOVER SEED NOT DAMAGED BY RAIN Wilh still about two-thirds of the clover estimated laying out no deep concern is yet felt for the seed due to the rains unless they should continue for a week or so when there would be danger of the seed germinating and sprouting. But, as It Is, with any fair sort of a break on the weather, it Is stated the farmers can turn tlie clover and keep It dried out so that the sprouting will not start with the rain so far fallen. But not such a great many days of it might do some damage, state seed men. The rain' is having one good ef fect in getting the ground in shape so no doubt some fall work will start just as soon as the ground dries out sufficently on top to let working proceed after the rain. CORN LIQUOR BATHS LEAD TO JAIL DOOR Jonesboro. Ark., (LP) Corn whis key baths are a great cure for what ails you, thinks Raymond Martin, but they won't keep you out of jail. Martin was arrested on charges of possessing corn whiskey and home brew. Sure, Judge." Martin explained, riving sage advice alonf medical lines, "we tried everything to re lieve my sister, but nothing did any I good. So finally we started giving her corn liquor baths. "And now she Is well." "Well, well the Judge answered. "$50 for you and some time in Jail. See if you can't think up some more remedies." Radio Audition Candidates Josephine Albert and Wendell Robinson will be Salem's repre sentatives Saturday evening In the state wide Atwater Kent audition contest to be broadcast at 9:30 o'clock over radio KGW, Portland. Miss Albert, contralto, and Rob inson, tenor, were selected In try outs held this spring with Lena Belle Tarter as director assisted by the chamber of commerce. In the state audition contest, 25 contestants will sing one selection WHEAT SUFFERS CRUSHING LOSS CASH DELIVERY Chicago (U Wheat scored a fair rally before the close on the board of trade Saturday but could not maintain it in the face of the semi- demoralized world conditions. The opening break carried all deliveries of wheat to new low lev els for the crop with September going to the lowest level since September 1906. There was noth ing new In the news, though Rus sia continues to sell cash grain heavily, but the trade was extreme ly pessimistic and liquidation was general. All deliveries at all lead ing markets went to new lows dur ing the dJty. The market was very sensitive and fluctuations were rapid. Corn broke with wheat and was off sharply. Oats went to a new low level for all deliveries at the start and failed to recover. At the close wheat was 2'j to 2 cents lower, corn was 1T to 2 cents lower and oats were unchang ed to ; cent lower. Provisions were sharply lower. Cash prices were wheat 3 to 4 cents lower, corn 2 to 3 cents lower and oats 1 to l'i cents lower. Receipts were wheat 9 cars, corn 123 cars and oats 18 cars. Chicago P) Under a general rush of selling, wheat fell early Saturday to new low price records here for all future deliveries. Re ports of persistent big olferings of Russian wheat at Liverpool, and of fresh tumbling of values there, were largely responsible. Every other kind of grain dropped with wheat, and bottom prices records were broken both by oats and rye as well as by wheat. Opening Ti to 2',i cents off, Chicago wheat ral lied somewhat, but then collapsed lower than before. Corn started 1 to 2',i cents down, and afterward fluctuated fast. PRUNES AND HOPS BOTH UNDER COVER Both hops and prunes are now considered about all under cover and out of the rain without any de viation in market conditions on ei ther commodity. Oregon hop samples are just now about arriving in London and these are of the earlier pickings which as a rule are not much fancied over there. Dealers have experienced a cry from England to get hop sam ples over as early as possible. Not that there was any particular de mand at the time for hops or any immediate outlook of It. But Lon don dealers did point out that there was a chance of a demand popping up at any time which made it im perative to have samples on hand as soon as passible so that when some English inquiry developed for Oregon hops, if such inquiry devel oped at all, the samples could be on hand for quick action. SWEDISH PUNCH IS NOW 200 YEARS OLD Goth?nburg. Sweden (IP Swed ish punch, is no longer as popular as it was, soon will celebrate its 200th anniversary. Historical research has established that it was first in troduced to Sweden throutrh Ooth enbure in 1733 by the East India company which that year began to Import arrack, a strong distilled li quor of the East, which Is the chief alcoholic Ingredient. The name comes from the Hin doo word "panch", derived from the Sanscrit "pancha," meaning five, or the number of contents, ar rack, water, sugar, tea and lemon or some other spice. Gradually the water became less important and the concentrated concoction was served in bottles instead of In bowls. Today there are several formulae for Swed6h punch but since the sugar makes It fattening, less and less of it Is used tn Sweden each year. The native "snaps" or pota to brandy, cognac and Scotch j whiskey are takL.g its place. I A ""Traveling Fair," consisting of agricultural machinery and imple ments was held recently at Cologne, Ocrmany. each selected from a list of three by the judges of the audition. They will be announced by number only. The winners will be decided by vote, the Judges decision counting 60 per cent, and the votes of the radio listeners 40 per cent. The win ners at Portland Saturday night will go to San Francisco for the western audition. Winners at the western tryouts will be entered in the national audition finals at New York city. REGISTRATION BOOKS TO CLOSE NEXT SATURDAY A week from Saturday evening October 4 registration for the fall election closes and any who fail to have their names on the registra tion books will be deprived ol the right to vote at the election in No vember. The swearing in of voters was done away with a few years ago and the voter who attempts to vote without being registered Is out of luck. However, under the per manent registration system voters who voted at the last election do not need to re-register unless they happen to have moved from one precinct to another since that time, or have had their names changed by marriage or divorce in the inter im. New voters attaining the age of majority since the last election must register if they wish to vote. County Clerk Boyer states that very little interest in registration has been shown, especially by people who have changed precincts or have had their names changed by marriage. It is urged that all who wish to vote next year and have not com plied with the registration laws get in early the coming week as a con gestion always occurs during the latter part of the list week when the registration books close and if prompt attention .s taken now it will save the clerk much trouble and the voters some Ions waits. m Foreign conditions in haps are rc vsaled by cables to government offi cials as follows: Under date of September 23. Agri cultural Commissioner Foley at Lon don cabled: "British hop market continues very quiet, and until size and quality of the new crop is known, little business is anticipated. Excessive rains and gales caused a shortage of pickers last week, and much damage resulted to hops un picked. Old crop receiving little at tention, and prices for the new crop range from $658 to $15.19 per 100 pounds. Kent growers report a large acreage will remain unpicked, and only the best quality being picked in that district. The quality of the Kent crop is the highest in recent years. Growers are being' urged to keep'all hops off the mar ket if fair price is desired nov;." September 23, Agricultural Com missioner Steere at Berlin, cabled ns follows: "No important changes in European crop prospects. The Nu remberg market continued quiet, with prices unchanged. Saaz reports a good demand for prime quality, with prices somewhat higher, rang ing from $14.13 to $15.01. with ex ceptional parcels to $16.15. Medium quality also highei. ranging from $11.44 to $12,92 per 100 lbs. The Ger man government intends taking a considerable quantity of hops tem porarily off the market to aid grow ers, and has granted a guarantee of $142,000 covering possible loss from these measures, contingent up on an equal guarantee from Bavar ia, which seems probable." HOP PICKING OVER NEAR INDEPENDENCE Independence Hop picking is I over in tins vicinity ana Decomes a matter of history for this year ex cept for the baling which Is going on. The last yard to finish was the McLauKhhn ranch. Their crop was very heavy this year and at times had a small crew. L. A. Carey, who operated the store at the McLaughlin tr.nch moved in Thursday after a very suc cessful season. PRUNES FINISHED Scotts Mills Prune harvest In this vicinRy is just about over due to the early rain, which caused them to crack and brown rot set hi.

BLUE JAYS ROB ORCHARD OF TOM OF FILBERT NUTS An army of blue Jays has clean ed up fully a ton of filberts on tlie 40-acre ranch near Macleay hand led by Knight Pearcy for the Bos ton owner of the ranch and despite the fact that the men on tlie place have been using liberally supplies of "blue Jay poison" In the shape of shotgun shells, they seem to bs swarming as badly as ever in their attack on the lilberts. Pearcy states that in one morn ing 43 blue jays bit the dust of the filbert orchard but next morning they were swarming as bad as ever The jays swoop down on the trees, each one grabs a nut, flies to a nearby piece of woodland, seems to drop the nut and come back for another. He states apparently the birds are not taking time to crack the filberts and eat them. They are either playing a game of who can get the most filberts or figur ing on retrieving them later. Pearcy states tliere Is a fine fil bert crop all over the northwest this year, with every variety bear ing well and with the association intimating recently the filbert price will be better than ever this year the nut men look for some pretty good returns. He further declares there has been more inquiry this year in re gard tD filbert trees than any other stock in tlie nursery line and" more than for a number of jearr for the same class of stock. $5,864,361.85 NET RECEIPTS OF AUTO OPERATION A total of $5,864,361.85, which was the net receipts from motor vehicle operation in Oregon for the period from June 16 to September 15, this year, has been apportioned to the counties and to the state highway department by Secretary of State Hoss.
