OREGON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1931 tin J. to In El o! tl TURKEY PRICES MARKED HIGHER CHICKENS FIRM Portland, Ore., (IP) Advance of J cents per pound was announced In the price of turkeys by the Pa eera Saturday: The price of 9 to 12 pounders was advanced to 32 cents for both hens and torn while 13 to 10 pounds were 31 cents and old toms were quoted at 30 cents. Another of those spectacular tights In the butter fat maiket i; being waged, this time In southern Oregon. Invasion of the Oregon territory by a California co-operative concern wheth ha? a plant In the northern section of that state, has forced creameries in Southern Oregon to meet the advances. Lo cal market has not been disturbed but quotations here are considered on an adequate basis cencrally. Demand for fresh eggs Is taking care of the dally offerings on the local market. Strong prices are being reflect ed In the market for live chickens AH weights are now In big request with extreme prices being freely offered by killers. The usual spell of dullness Is re flected In the market for country killed meats. Buying of potatoes at country points appear a trifle better In general. There Is a better feeling abroad for apples but the trade In general Is nut up to the average. Demand for celery for shipment continues to gain volume and prices are reflecting more strength. Halves are selling freely up to 91.60 rate. FIND YOUTH'S BODY IN DESERT SANDS (Continued from pag 1) came suspicious and asked an In vestigation. Collie was found In possession Of Slater's automobile. Question ing of him brought the sudden, sur ly admission tliat he had killed a la an. Pointing out a spot on a map as the murder scene, Collie directed officers to a shack m Carbon can yon, 18 miles from Santa Ana, where he said ne had dumped the body of Walker and set fire to the building. Neighbors early that morning had extinguished the blaze, to find the body of a man within. The shack. It developed, was own ed by J. McKee, a brother-in-law Of Collie, who, however, knew noth ing of the grim use to which It had .been put. The Dalles, Ore.. IIPV Local au thorities, endeavoring to check the . report that Dale Slater formerly resided at the Dalles, found that the slain youth did attend school here several years ago, but that .his whereabouts had been un known since then. . Postal authorities and other rec ords failed to show any trace of the family here now. despite re ports from Los Angeles that the mother had come there from The Dalles to neek her missing son.

PROFITS DENIED BY FMM BOARD Washington Wj No Improper profit, were made, said the farm board Saturday, by mlllera who purchawd more than nine million bufthela of tlie board's itablllznUon wheat hoard last winter. A lengthy defense of the opera tions was Usued by Chairman Etone In answer to an attack by Governor Murray of Oklahoma. Murray Charlies one firm made S6O00O0 by the arrangement. The Oklahoma governor has announced he would go be ore the senate agriculture committee next week In Its Inves tigation of the farm board'. The defending statement origin ated with the Grain stabilisation corporation which handled the deals. It explained that at the time of the transactions American prices had been stabilized 15 to SO cents above world marks, closing world flour markets to American millers. These, were then allowed to pur chase the wheat for cash at cur rent domestic prices with an agree ment to return an equal amount of the cheaper new crop, receiving a refund on the original purchase price. Only 1.816.021 bushels were so re. turned, the Stabilisation corpora tion itself purchasing the differ ence at new prices and making a reiuno. to tne millers. The corpor ation contended the millers were forced to hedge sales to protect themselves but In many cases fail ed to do so. A profit, however, was claimed by the board Itself In a saving of 1195,000 In storage charg es tnrougn disposing of its old sun Ply. SALEM TO WORK FOR 30 FOOT HIGHWAY (Continued from page 1 characterized by several speakers as an unwarranted attempt to In Iluence the highway commission In the determination of matter of policy In which, it was the prevail' Ing opinion, the engineering staff Is not properly concerned. The engineer's recommendation was made In connection with his report to the commission Thursday on the survey and estimates of cost of a 30-foot paved highway or dered by the commission at an ear lier meeting. Speakers at the meet ing Friday night took the position that Klein has fulfilled his duty when Jie submitted his cost esti mates and other data on the pro ject, and that he stepped entirely out of his role as engineer and technical sdvlsor to the commis sion when he voluntarily undertook to advise them on the policy to be followed. To carry out the campaign to which they committed themselves those gathered at Friday evening's meeting unanimously adopted a resolution instructing the president of the chamber of commerce to ap point a committee of five to or ganize and direct the campaign, and pledging themselves to what ever service the committee mieht ask them to give In furthering the project. This committee. consMlnr: of J. N. Chambers, chairman, T. M Hicks, w. L. Phillips, C. A. Sprogue and Harry N. Craln, will be In romplete charge of Salem's parti cipation in whatever is done to ad vance the three-lane project, and Is authorlrcd to cooperate with any other organizations having for their purpose the Improvement of the Pacific highway through Ore gon. while the committee, named Sat urday morning, had not had an op portunity to outline a program of action members of It said that one of Its first activities would prob ably be to enlist the assistance of other groups between Oregon City and Salem, and attempt to organise a large association embracing all of the communities effected.

Secondary roads will re ceive approximately one-half of the amount of revenue formerly spent on market roads although definite figures cannot be given until the end of December when state tax commission reports are complied. "The more heavily traveled and principal market roads were desig nated on the secondary system," Klein laid. "Those of the market roads not chosen for the secondary designation continue at their pres ent status but will depend for funds only upon county levies. The state has apportioned $11,- 601,102.89 for the market road sys tem between 1920 and 1930. To this was added $11,624,216.46 In county levies and $7,119,415.22 from other county funds, such as bond Issues. "The state spent $1,U0,000 for 1931 market roads. Chances are that no appreciable change will oc cur for the secondary apportion ment on secondary arteries. A more substantial type of construction will be maintained on the new sec ondary system as roads chosen were the most Important of the market gup."

WHEAT GLOSES WITH NET GAIN E Chicago (IP) Wheat hustled about In a wide 3c range on the Board of Trade Saturday moving from sharply higher to lower with quick strides but ending with a fair share of the advance held. A sharp opening bulge on bullish cab les ran into profit taking and liq uidation that dropped the market from 2c higher to lc lower, stop loss orders being picked up. At the bot tom new buying started a 3c rally and the fluctuations were contin uous thereafter with the blackboard out of line with the actual more of ten than not. Short covering was a factor as the wheat market hit a new low for the week. Weakness In stocks and heavy snows In the win ter wheat belt were depressing factors at times. Corn, oats and rye scurried about after wheat heedless of factors In their own pits. At the close wheat was 3-8 to 4c higher, corn was He lower to 5-8c i higher, oats to 7c higher and rye was H to ?c higher. Provisions were firm.

ETS S Oregon hop markets were firm and slightly higher during U week ending November It, accord ding to the Weekly Hop Market Review of the United States bu reau of agricultural economics. This whs generally attributed to m very lirm holding policy by growers for better prices. Choice clusters were senilis at 14 cents. D rimes at 13- 1 13 cents, and mediums around 13 cents per pouna, net lo growers, in Oregon markets at the end of the period. Sales totaled around 675 bales of all grades during the week, according to trade advices. With around three-fourths of tha 1931 Oregon hop crop out of first hands, and the remaining unsold ntoc-ks mostly held by financially .strong growers, buyers are finding It increasingly difficult to obtain their requirements at present val ues. Current demand continues to be restricted to domestic consum ers at eastern and mid western mar kets, with foreign demand Inactive. Washington markets were quiet dur ing the week and trade reports In dicate no sales were made to that territory since last report.

Trade advices from the United Kingdom Indicate that In addition to being much smaller than last year's production, tlie 1931 BigUan crop is showing a -very wide v&ruv jtion In quality.
