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.
An effort will be made to secure
a meeting of representatives of all
of these sections for organisation
purposes early next week, with
Woodburn as the favored location.
This plan was suggested and ap
proved at the meeting Friday night.

SECONDARY ROADS

former total of 6,000 miles of mar
ket roads. 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.
Caah prices were wheat un
changed to lc lower, corn 1 to lc
lower and oats unchanged to lc
lower.
Receipts were wheat 105 cars, coin
121 and oats 29 cars.
Chicago, VP) Responsive to re
ports that Japan and China both
had balked at an armistice, grain
prices quickly jumped upward
Saturday. There were also advices
that the 1031 Argentine wheat crop
would total only 208.000,000 bushels
compared with 338,875,000 In 1930.
Opening 1-1 , cents higher,
wheat afterwards rose further.
Corn started H.-X'i up and con
tinued to advance.
TRAGEDY COMES WITH

crews took rotary and other plows
out as soon as the wind subsided,
and In most sections resumption of
regular traffic was expected Sat
urday.
Added to the death of two men
and a woman Thursday night was
the freezing of Mrs. Phil Barry,
wife of a prominent Lakeview, Ore.,
sheepman. Barry returned home
Tuesday after two days absence to
find his wile gone. Unaiarmed, he
waited until Thursday before start
ing search. Friday he found her
thinly clad body a quarter of a
mile from home. Apparently she
died while looking for livestock.
Some fears were expressed for
the safety of 30 road workers last
reported between Blue lake and
Buttle lake, Oregon, high In the
Cascade mountains Thursday. It
was pointed out, however, they
probably had made some prepara
tion against cold.
SWINE EXHIBIT
RULES CHANGED
Changes In the regulations gov-
ernlng the exhibition of commercial
swine at the Pacific International
Livestock exposition were planned
at a meeting of breeders and exposi
tion officials at the Salem chamber
of commerce Friday afternoon. The
changes would make the rules con
form more nearly to market classi
fications. It Is proposed that two classifica
tions of commercial swine be shown.
Each would consist of a 25-head ex
hibit, but one would range from
160 to 180 pounds and the other
from 180 to 200 pounds. The pro
posed 25-head Is a reduction
from the present 50. This change It
is believed will make the exopsitlon
more fair to the small producer.
Among these attending the meet
ing were R. L. Clark, superintendent
of the fat stock division of the ex
position; A. W. Cling, of the ani
mal husbandry division of Oregon
State college, and H. A. Llndgrcn,

STOCK MARKET
IRREGULAR FOR
IT
New York (LP) stocks swung back
and forth in highly confused trading
Saturday.
The action of the share market
paralleled that of grains at Chicago.
Stocks and grains started out firm,
rose fairly easily in the early trading
and then turn d about more ruplly
than they had advanced.
After U. S. Steel had been driven
to a new low since 1915 at 60, off
more than 3 points from Its early
high and a point below the previous,
close, the market met some support
and rose from the lows. Toward the
close further Irregularity developed
but the list closed generally above
the lows of the session.
Uncertainties of the Manchuria
and German debt situations were
among the bad news items over
hanging the market.
Railroad shares demonstrated
they still were vulnerable. New York
Central made a record low at 36 5-8
and Union Pacific made a new low
for many years at DO'i. Both rallied
later and closed above their lows.
Copper shares held well as did
motors. Utilities declined In the ear
ly selling and rose fractions to a
point above the lows. A few siwcial
Issues experienced wide breaks, in
cluding Maytag first preferred at 40,
off 10 and National Lead 92, off 8.
According to preliminary calcula
tions, the Dow, Jones and Co., In
dustrial average stood at 9739, off
.57 point, rail average 45.35, up .26
point, and the utility average at
37.60, off .42 point.
Sales totaled 673,568 shares, com
pared with 1,134,175 shares a week
ago.

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.
There was very little change Id
the California hops market situ
ation during the week ending No
vember 17. Trading continued sea
sonally quiet, but the market held
steady to firm at practically un
changed levels.
Demand in tlie New York market
was generally limited to small kola
for current use, with feeling still
unsettled. On November 19. Pa
cific coast 1931 crop choice hope
were quoted at 20-21 cents, com
mon to prime 17-19 cents. 1930

9-16 cents per pound.
