Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOURTEEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 19-10 V -4 jUTTER PRICES REMAIN DOWN, EGGS SLUGGISH Portland, LP Thert Is no Im provement of note in the market tor butter. The trade U Uklng hold of supplies, because the recent de cline In the price was considered entirely too liberal. Io fact, gen ial complaint la coming from the county on this account. The price of butter showed a greater drop In Portland trade re cently than In other markets of the country, a condition that does not appear justified as a result of actual supply and demand of fresh goods. Generally sluggish tone Is reflec ted In the market for eggs here and throughout the country gen erally. There was no change in the price list named by the Pacific coops although some private firms were reported as cutting. Quite good local demand is con tinued In th emarket for turkeys. No change Is reported in the price of either live or dressed stock. De mand Includes mostly 10 lbs. and heavier stuff. Well maintained prices are show ing in the market for live chickens. The little fight that has appeared between some of the big killers, has given the country some advan tage in the price, which la generally at the high point. While the new crop navel orange movement Is reported from Cali fornia the local territory Is not ex pected to be served until quality Is at its best. This will be around November 10-15. The crop in cen tral California is running mostly small sizes. In the meantime val encias are in demand. High prices re being maintained. Generally stronger tone Is being Imparted to the Tokay grape mar ket here. Grants Pass offerings are slightly higher and are expected to show further Improvement. Qual ity very desirable. Considerable weakness Is shov -lng In the market for potatoes. Prices are easing off here along with lower priced purchases In cen tral Washington. Dxhutes stock Is finding much favor because of sheer quality. Reports from the Rogue river as well as Smiths river indicate a continuation of the greatest Chin ook salmon run In those streams In 36 years. The big run is espec ially shown In the Rogue where claims were made previously of a shortage. Prices are down to 16 cents here as a result. ' Trade in the onion market con tinues to sag. Little business Is shown at country points in carload lots and jobbers report the move ment into consumption as the small est for many years. Very good shipping demand Is continued In the market for cauli flower, reports the Oregon Garden ers' association. Buyers are freely offering 90c-$l crate for Is. De mand from the midwest Is report ed better than Immediate supplies. That the market for celery Is des tined for some Improvement, is the word of shippers here. Recent sales of carlots of loose pack at $1.75 re flects a greater call although prices are still low. Business Is confined to the midwest. Halibut Is In larger supply and generally 1 cent lower. Trade Is well stocked with fancy ocean caught crabs. Wine grape market Is firm with Zinfatlels mostly 70-75 cents lug. Country killed hogs are in ac tive call with a fair dunand for veal and lambs. Prices generally Unchanged. Florida grapefruit Is due 'o arrive Jn Portland early next week. Tomatoes are showing a very keen ccmand lor locals.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CARS GAINS Portland (P) Although there Is nn estimated net decrease oi 7.3 or cent In freight car requirements for the United States in general for the last quarter of this year, increased freight car requirements in the Pacific northwest for tne movement of fourteen Important commodities are Indicated in the quarterly forecast of the regional shipper's advisory board. The per centage of increase or decrease Is found by comparing movements oi the preceding quarter of this year. The expected increase In cement movements is 21.4 per cent, rresn vegetables, other than potatoes, will require 18.7 per cent more room. Non-citrus fruit movements mill In crease 15.4: livestock 8.5: poultry and dairy products 8.2; canned goods 7.8; potatoes 5 per cent. A decrease in traffic In automo biles, trucks and parts was con sidered a large item. It was esti mated this decrease would amount to'81.9 per cent when compared to the preceding four months. ABORTION CONTROL PROGRESS REPORTED St. Helens, Or. (IP) Columbia county dairymen are making rapid strides In eliminating contagious .abortion from their herds. Out of 1460 head of cattle, comprising 109 heards tested this year, only 235 actors were found, while 79 were classed as suspects, reports C. A. Nelson, county agent, through whose office arrangements for the tests were made. Most of these reactors have now been eliminated from the herds. FAREWELL IS GIVEN TO BARCLAY FAMILY Molalla Mr. and Mrs. Harry Barclay and family were given a farewell party by Mr. and Mrs. C, W. Herman. Mr. and Mrs. Bar clay, who purchased their farm two and a half years ago from P. W. Mayes, have traded their property to Mr. Klmmell for property near Spokane, Wash., and will move to their new home Li. a short time. This party was also to honor Miss Dorothy Barclay and Miss Mary Penne of Helena. Mont., who were celebrating t:ieir b. iday an- nlversltles on this date. This was In the form of a barn party. Two large bonfires were built outside and the evening was spent playing games. There were 76 present and re freshments were served to the guests. WHEAT STAGES STRONG RALLY AT THE CLOSE Chlc8o OB Dfi.pl t tigging tendency rly, nhtat had a lirm undertone on the board of trade Thursday and ataged a wrong rally near uie ckmc to more than regain the losses undergone In the fore- part of the session. Weakness at Lirerpool and Winnipeg and large ttussian exports Taused the down turn. Pressure vas light and small buying ran prices up until profit Uklng set In. Corn vas dull and lower but rallied quickly with wneat. snorts covering on the way up. Oats averaged lower but re flected the action In wheat. At the close wheat was .t cent lower to cent higher, corn was to l cent lower and oats were M to S cent lower. Provisions were steady to strong. Chicago, w Influenced by an nouncement of persistent large ex ports of Russian wheat and by rela tive weakness of the Liverpool quotations, grain values here un derwent an early setback Thursday. Wheat shipments for the week from Russian amounted to 5.808,- 000 bushels and figures on the worlds available supply also made a bearish exhibit. Opening un changed to 'ac o(f. Chicago wheat future deliveries subsequently show ed an all around sue. Corn and oats followed wheat, with corn starting unchanged to '4 lower, and afterward suffering a general drop. SALEM BULBS FOUND CLEAN John Wieman, recently named by the state board of horticulture as buib Inspector for the district of the state north of the Lane- Douglas line which Includes this section, was In Salem Wednesday. He reports Salem bulb plantings, which he has gone over carefully several times, are as clean as any he has seen in the state. He for merly was located In the Grants Pass district, where he states this year there are about 229 acres ot gladiolus planted, a materially de creased planting from last year. Considerable damage was done to a portion of these plantings by the Intense heat which swept over that section for a short time last sum mer but he believes that at least S acres of the bulgs and possibly more will be In good shape for digging In that district wieman Is engaged In some ex perimental tests In regard to bulbs such as covering their drying, cur ing ana storing, the results ot which he hopes to be able to disclose a little later In the year. He de clares these are some of the big gest promems lacing Oregon bulb growers, especially In sections where the plantings are large and present storage faculties Inadequate. WATER, POWER ISSUE DESGRIBEDBY WEST 'Continued from Page 4) are going to ask themselves: Where would we be today if private capi tal had not accepted the Invitation held out to it through the laws of the state? If public development of our water power resources is the proper tiling, should we not rather condemn ourselves for our failure to enter the field than to censure so unjustly the private Interests who lawfully came among us and so well supplied our needs? PEOPLE FOI NO MISLED In conclusion. I wish to say to the people of the state that never have they been peddled so much misinformation as they have dur ing the past year. Misstatements of fact have been made time and time again by those who have been In position to learn the truth and state It. Figures gathered by those who did not understand them have been thrown in the face of the public with the result that the peo ple have become not only con fused, but alarmed. Half of the people of this state have been led to believe that some body has actually stolen the Colum bia river and X know of no way un der the heavens that one can con vince them to the contrary. Time, of course, will disclose to them how much bunk they have been peddled and somebody will then be called to account. The people have been led to believe that the great bargain day has arrived, and perhaps it has, but when they take their purchase home and examine the quality of the goods, and consider the price paid, they are going to rir.d that they have been badly sold. ORCHARD CLEAN-UP SOUGHT IN YAMHILL McMlnnvllle. LP Condemna tlon work ha been started by Coun ty Agent 8. T. White, acting as county fruit inspector, on a large acreage of deserted promotion or chards on the hills back of Sheri dan. These tracts, under absentee ownership, have for years been a menace to many well-conducted or chards In that region. CRAWFOROSVILLE VISITORS Turner Mrs. C. A.

NATION'S NEED HELD TO BE CONFIDENCE (Continued from page advantage of the present opportun ities while others sleep." Shumakcr outlined the program of the RCA Victor plant at Camden, N. J., which, he said, had furnished direct and indirect employment to 140,000 per sons through its expansion policy. Merle Thorpe, editor of the Na tion's Business, told the merchants that there had been too much dis position to seek short-cuts to pros perity thru government edict in stead of thru business Initiative and competition. 'The stock market crash just a year ago this week was not a cause. it was an effect of a breakdown of confidence," Thorpe said. "It was a state of mind. The dictionary de finition of depression Is gloom, de jection, discouragement. You will note that all of these are mental qualities. We brought about this state of mind of our own free will, We peddled rumors, wild rumors of unemployment, of breadlines, of failures, of panic. We talked of two millions out of work, but said noth ing of the 42 millions at work. We talked of bank failures but forgot tne 55 billions on deposit." Discussing the causes of this state of mind, Thorpe said that in the last 10 years we have come to lean too heavily on governments. 'We have regarded the Individu als, men like you and me, to have supernatural power when vested with official titles. Perhaps they have led us to this appreciation of them by their campaign speeches. More likely we have been too eager to believe that there is a shortcut to prosperity through government edict." Thorpe denied there was any over production, explaining. Instead, there was under-consumptlon. The greatest examples of unemployment, he said, was the American dollar. With banks "bulging with money," the difficulty lies in the average In dividual's fear of the future, he de clared.

JO miles northwest of Kanatak, its Shehkof Strait. It was reported that the skeletons) may be the remains of two Japanes fishermen wno leu oewara tor western Alaska last December and disappeared. But a more plausible; theory was advanced by D. J. Lane, of Kodiak, who declared that the, skeletons must be those of Hiw Cury and Alga Bodlne, who lria Kanatak on a hunting trip during; the fall of 1924. A trauner reported finding their bodies the following spring, and was paid to go .ick and bury them. He returned from Wide Bay and reported that the froaen ground prevented dinging, but that he bad covered the bodies with rocks.
