CUBE BUTTER
ADVANCES ONE
CENT POUND
Portland, Ore., July 21 (IP Ad
vance of one cent a pound In the
price of cube butter on the produce
exchange here was not at all un
expected In view of the scramble
recently for top score offerings
generally along the coast. The ad
vance to 18c for extras was there
fore due. However, the rise of
similar amount In underscores was
more of a sympathetic movement
rather than any special need for
such a rise. The shortage of extras
and standards, however, have
somewhat better undertone to the
entire trade and forcer the move
ment of under grades Into con
suming channels,
For several days there has been
rather keen strength in the Cali
fornia market owing to the great
decreases In the churning there and
along the coast. Much northwest
stock has been moved In that dl
rcction as a result of the higher
prices which naturally forced the
upward swing here.
Butterfat made the costumary
advance of one cent a pound which
Is now effective.
Generally firm tone Is suggested
In the market for eggs here with
strength displayed at most leading
points along the Pacific slope. Re
ceipts continue to dwindle
Cut of lc lb. In the buying price
of lightweight hens to 7-9c lb. Is
shown for the day, confirming Inst
week's late forecasts of this desire
on the part of killers in spite of
the decreased supply.
Months ahead of the normal,
new crop young torn turkeys are
being offered to the local trade by
Willamette valley growers but none
appear anxious to start the move
ment Inasmuch as there Is still con
siderable old stuff coming and the
storage plants are loaded.
Warmer weather has quickly af
fected sentiment In the market for
country killed meats. Receipts are
not liberal but demand appears a
trifle slow except for lambs and
mutton, which are fully maintain
ed. Shippers at The Dalles are lift
ing the price of apricots and some
dissatisfaction exists In the trade.
Sales are still liberal but mostly at
old prices. Attempts to secure the
advances are not yet general.
Prices continue off in the mar
ket for tomatoes here, the result of
furthre Increase of marketing by
Columbia river points as well as
liberal hangover from the Califor
nia season. Hothouse are In nom
inal offering but prices are shaded
along with outdoor to move.
Market for celery Is somewhat
depressed at practically all points,
several carloads have recently been
rolled from the Lablsh section but
no sales are confirmed. Locally the
market is overloaded.
Lemons are up another 75c case.
Peach market Is extremely slow
for all offerings.
Cucumber market continued sick,
principally 25 -30c box.
First peas out of the Marshland
section were priced at a nickel.
Apple trading was of nominal
characted with scarcely sufficient
business to establish prices.
SEEK PEGGING OF
WHEAT TO DOLLAR
Denver, Colo., July 21 u) Co
operation of the federal farm board
In pegging the price of this year's
crop of wheat at $1 a bushel, was
sought by Lieut. Gov. Edwin C.
Johnson today.
Johnson, head of the grain men's
cooperative organization at Craig,
wired Chairman Stone of the farm
board that the short crop this year
justified the farmers in a selling
strike until the objective is obtain
ed. Johnson asked the board to co
operate, and said he anticipated
prompt reply.

WALNUT CROP TO
BE ABOVE AVERAGE
The crop of English walnuts In
the valley will be well above the
average, In the opinion of S. H. Van
Trump, county horticultural In
spector, who, during his tours of
the country has had occasion to
glance over several plantings. The
crop In the higher elevations will
not be as heavy as has been the
case In some other years, but never-
ineioss tne set Is quite well distri
buted. The lower elevations seem
to have been favored by weather
conditions during the spring months
and as a result the trees are quite
heavily loaded. VanTrump says his
orchard has a fine crop this year.

LACK OF SALES
DEMAND SENDS

Chicago, July 31 (P) Wheat val'

force.
Export demand for United States
wheat was lacking, although 1,000,
000 bushels of Canadian was taken
today and an equal amount yester
day. Price declines were In the face
of the fact predictions of rain had
been unfulfilled.
After reacting to below yester
day's finish all around, wheat clos

to 17 cents.
Despite lower temperatures
northwest, grain prices averaged
higher early today. Crop reports
said the northwest no longer e
pected bumper yields, but that
better than average crop was Indi
cated. Opening unchanged to 14

FARM ILLS DOE
TO FARM BOARD
Kansas City, July 31 (PV-The
federal farm board and various
reclamation projects were described
as enemies of the farmers at the
congressional hearing here Into
governmental competition with pri
vate business.
John B. Gage, a lawyer, a repre
sentative of the livestock interests,
yesterday assailed the National
Livestock Marketing association, a
farm board agency, by declaring
that "any organization that receiv
es at least 98 per cent of its work
ing capital from the government
truly can be said to represent the
government In business."
The depression in livestock prices.
ne declared, has developed since
the agency had built up a credit
structure of $20,000,000 by the use
of government money. He charged
that "the inability to obtain credit
through normal channels had caus
ed many private producers to be-
cuine slaves of this farm board
agency."
Gage testified that Irrigation pro
jects in Idaho were largely respons
ible for the present condition of
the potato market. He pointed out
that the large volume produced with
government -water had glutted the
market, and added that other pro
jects underway would add to the
burdens of the farmer.
Representatives of envelope man
ufacturers were called upon for
their testimony at the resumption
of the hearing this morning.

Meantime the sentiment of the
rest of the country was lined up. Ba
varia has joined Prussia's appeal to
the supreme court against the dic
tatorship. Saxony declined to join.
In the Essen municipal council the
social democratic bloc refused to
sanction leave of absence for Herr
Bracht, who Is lord mayor of Essen,
on the grounds that he la Indispens

to serve as dictator for Prussia.
The supreme court announced

State Troops Ordered
Out To Indiana Mines
To Supress Rioting
Digger, Ind., July 21 (PJ Three companies of Indiana
national guardsmen were ordered today to the vicinity of the
Hoosier coal mine, which 20 non-union workmen have re
fused to leave untU assured nrotec-
tlon from more than a thousand I
union sympathizers maintaining a
picket around the shaft.
Sheriff Wesley Williams of Sul
livan county was notified of the
order this morning by Governor
Harry G. Leslie, who said he would
accompany the troops when they
assemble at Shakamak state park,
about 10 miles from the mine. Com
panies from Indianapolis, Attica
and Ladoga were called.
Officials explained the move was
precautionary, pointing out the
men m the mine have made no
attempt to come out and that the
attiude of the plcketers should they
attempt to do so was problematical.
Thus far the plcketers have been
orderly, according to Sheriff Wil
liams, who said they numbered
about 1,200, Including miners and
their wives.
Both Governor Leslie and Sheriff
Williams Indicated their major In
terest was to remove the miners
who have been in the shaft more
than 20 hours without food. They
said the workmen were armed and
expressed fear they might become
desperate If they remained in the
pit much longer.
The Hoosier mine is one of sev
eral In the southern Indiana field
which have been operated on a co
operative basis. The Indiana Coal
Operators association and district
11, United Mine Workers of Ameri
ca, failed to renew their contract
when it expired March 31.
Sheriff Williams said he plan
ned no arrests as long as the plck
eters remained orderly.
What part the troops would plav
was not made clear. Governor Les
lie said he thought it advisable
to have them in the vicinity In
event an emergency should arise.
Sheriff Wlliams was hampered in
his attempts to handle the crowd,
he said, because factional beliefs
on the organized labor question In
Sullivan county made selection of
impartial deputies difficult.

mitted, allegedly, that he was In
the office shortly before the peti
tions were removed from the safe.
Langley said Brownell explained
his visit to the office was for the
purpose of storing a Jug uf mineral
water m the safe.
Brownell had no official con
nection with the petition circulation,
it Is said.
He and Slocum, who had charge
of the circulation of the petitions,
were formerly business partners
and continued to occupy the same
offices after their partnership was
dissolved.
Brownell was defeated in the May
primary election as a candidate for
reDubllcan nomination as United
States congressman from the third
district.
George Mowry, chief criminal
deputy district attorney, said con
vlction on the charge of larceny
carries a maximum sentence of 10
years In prison.
In announcing that the com
plaint had been issued, Langley
made the following statement:
With the idea in mind of filing
the present larceny charge, this
office has been for more than
week In close conference with Mr.
Hector MacPherson and his associ
ates who sponsored the consolida
tion measure.
"The crime of larceny, as every
lawyer knows, includes several vital
elements, besides the mere taking
of property, and Mr. MacPherson
and his office have at all times en
deavored to proceed carefully In
this matter, having in mind that it
is a serious thing to file a criminal
charge of this character against a
man of Mr. Brownella standing In
this community.
"A careful examination of the
evidence available convinces us
that there is sufficient probable
cause for the Issuance of this war
rant, and we intend to continue the
investigation and prosecution as
speedily and vigorously as possible."
The district attorney said furth
er: "We can assure the public that
the efforts of the police depart
ment and of this office will be un
sparing to bring to light and prose
cute any persons who may have
operated Invisibly and behind the
scenes In this matter, and all oth
ers criminally Implicated."
The complaint charges that on
July 4 Brownell "did unlawfully
and feloniously take, steal and car
ry away 200 sets of printed and
signed initiative petitions for a bill
moving university, normal and law
schools of the state of Oregon, and
establishing Junior colleges
which petitions were then
of an aggregate value of more
than 25 cents each, and
of more than $35, all of which sets
of petitions were the personal prop
erty of Henry Zom, Wlllard H.
Stevens and numerous other per
sons" composing the taxpayers'
equalization league.

Continuation of
CANADA'S PLAN
(Prom page one)
head of the delegation from the
United Kingdom, then spoke, out
lining the general purposes of the
gathering.
The real importance of the con
ference, he said, lies in the fact that
it marks a point where two roads di
verge, "one leading to the develop
ment of purely national interests,
the other to closer Imperial unity
and the recognition of advantages
in mutual trade cooperation."
If at the end of the conference
the delegates can say that they have
taken the latter road, he said, "the
actual distance covered is of minor
importance, because progresa will
continue."
Great Britain has given the do
minions the privilege of free entries
Into ports of the United Kingdom,
and the dominions have given pref
erences to Great Britain, said Mr.
Baldwin, but the opportunities of
mutual preference have by no means
been exhausted. Empire trade Is still
only 30 percent among the British
dominions and 70 percent with for
eign countries.
"The trend today," he said, ls to
ward larger units. International
trade is so hampered by barriers of
all kinds that strong opinion Is de
veloping in favor of groups not nec
essarily political, but offering to
members economic advantages In
the mutual opening of markets.
"In that belief," he continued,
"Canada in the last two years has
done as best she might to increase
her power for self service and for
Empire service.
"Only the other day this govern
ment concluded a treaty with our
friends and neighbors, the United
States of America, by which the St.
Lawrence waterway and the Great
lakes will be made into a great sea
way through which the commerce
of the Empire will be carried to the
heart of this continent, and through
which the products of this country
will go out to all parts of the Em
pire.
"This waterway will be free to all
ships of the commonwealth, And I
believe will be the sure means by
which the parts of the Empire will
be brought still closer to one an
other."
One of the first acts of the con
ference was to approve a message
of loyalty to the king. The dele
gates from the Irish Free State vot
ed in favor of this action, and their
vote was of particular Interest be
cause of the controversy over Presi
dent Eamon De Valera's attempt to
abolish the oath of allegiance to the
crown.
King Georve V, In a message read
by the governor's general, reminded
the delegates they were writing on
a new page of history and their ef
forts might go far toward solving
the economic troubles which weigh
not only upon the British Empire
but upon the rest of the world.
The efforts of this conference, he
said, should give full effect to the
principle of cooperation upon which
the Empire Is based.
