MINT HARVEST TO
BE 30,000 POUNDS
With the mint harvest Just fin
ished up in Washington and Oregon
It is estimated there will only be
one-third production for the two
states this year or about 30,000
pounds of oil. In Michigan and In
diana, on the other hand, reports
Indicate that the crops there ran
bout 25 per cent over last year.
Oregon and Washington are said
to have about a 25,000 pound carry
over to add to the 30,000 pound
crop for this year.
It Is stated growers out hero arc
holding pretty well, although some
is being sold to shoppers. The mar
ket Is said to be around $1.85 to $2
with eastern people reported to be
selling readily but the market Is
renlly not established here owing to
the scattered selling.
The acreage i down some from
last year and no new plantings are
said to be In sight, but the big
cause for loss of production this
year was the freezing weather of
last winter.
CROP YIKLD BETTER
Toronto, Ont. (IP) A v hough grain
crop yields In most counties In On
tario are not expected to be heavy
as In normal years, the quality is
better than first anticipated. In
many counties threshing is well un
der way, while In others it Is nearing
completion. In most cases the yields
vary from as little as 16 bushels an
acre to SO bushels, In the same dis
tricts. All, however, arc below nor
mal in volume.

FOREIGN CRISIS
BRINGS ROUT IN
STOCK PRICES
New York, Oct. 16 (IP) Liquida
tion caused by the tense European
political situation brought a rout
to stock market prices today with
trading picking up on the heaviness.
From a dull and lower start, the
market suddenly felt effects of
some tradng from foreign accounts
which desired to transform share
holdings into cash. Meanwhile for
eign currencies had started falling,
bringing about a relative Increase
in the dollar. Trading picked up.
At mid-scsslon tickets were be
hind the market two minutes. Then
this move died down some, but to
wards the close another heavy wave
of liquidation hit the market,
smashing prices to now lows for the
day, and tickers were running as
much as 7 minutes behind actual
floor transactions.
There was a slight firming tend
ency near the close but leaders still
were far below Saturday's close
with U. S. Steel under 40 for the
first time In several months.
Grains broke with stocks, wheat
selling off the limit. ' Cotton drop
ped about $2 a bale to the lowest
price since August 16. Other com
modities were weaK.
So for as domestic conditions were
concerned, business reports were
better today. American Telephone
and E. I. Dupont de Nemours both
reported increased earnings for the
last quarter. But tnere were not
of sufficient strength to counteract
the heavy liquidation which came
from all quarters.
stock sales today opproximaten
2,670,000 shares, as against 1,270,000
shares on Friday. It was the larg
est trading day since September 22.
Curb sales totaled 250,000 shares as
against 250,000 shares on FrMay.
Dow, Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial 00.49 off 5.10,
railroad 37.84 off 2.75 and Utility
24.75 off 1.40.
SLUMP TODAY
Chicago, Oct. 16 (JP) Jolted by
downturns of securities, wheat
prices underwent a sudden big tum
ble in the late dealings today.
Selling of wheat enlarged rapidly
toward the last. Eastern sources
were credited with being heavy
sellers. An unexpected increase of
the united States wheat visible sup
ply total added to downward pres
sure on the market, and prices
ropped the extreme limit allowed in
a single day.
Wheat closed semi -demoralized,
4"i-5! cents under Saturdays fin
ish, com down, oats 2M-2.f,
off, and provisions at 5 cents to 37
cents setback.
Grain prices advanced today after
downturns at the start. Liverpool
dispatches said European political
conditions were considered bullish.
Opening off, wheat scored de
cided gains. Corn started at Vj de
cline to 1!4 rise, and showed ft
general upturn.

Paulus Canned Pack
To Be 500, 000 Cases
Double Last Years
Racing along with four six hour shifts for the past two
months or so, Paulus Brothers cannery with between 1300
and 1400 people on its payroll, has been eclipsing all of its
pasc recoras tnis year. And wnen
finished up for the season it is ex
pected nearly half a million cases
will have been packed in its plant
as compared to 274,000, the best
previous record for the plant. Its
weekly payroll for over two months
has been running between $13,000
and $14,000 for labor alone and its
local manager George Paulus esti
mates the cannery will have dis
bursed around $500,000 in the com
munity for fruit, vegetables and
wages by the time the season is
over.
While the cannery still has a two

be secured.
This morning he received a reply
from Harry Hopkins, federal relief
administrator, and while the con
text of the letter was not given out.
ilt was intimated that Hopkins too
recommended to the governor hat
a special session of the legislature
be called to provide state money
with which to mfltch federal funds.
Hopkins, it was learned, informed
Governor Meier that in the event
any early session of the legislature
is called the federal government
will advance funds to meet relief
needs up to January 1, by which
time a state program should be en
acted into law to raise money with
which to match federal appropria
tions in the ratio of two dollars for
one.
Federal advances up to January
1 are, however, made contingent
upon action by the governor to call
the legislature at an early date.
In the sources predicting Novem
ber 20 as the probable date it was
pointed out that November 27 is not
a logical date, inasmuch as Thanks
giving falls in the middle of that
week and the legislators would no
more than reach here than they
would want to turn around and go
home for the holiday.
Objection was also voiced to De
cember 3 as the opening date, as the
session is expected to last the full
20 days permitted by law and that
would bring the date of adjourn
ment up to within two days of
Christinas.
Yhen the date is definitely fixed
and the call Issued the governor, It
Is indicated, will nlso ssue a state
ment summarzing the situation
making the call unavoidable and
outlining possible means of meeting
the unemployment relief problem
and other matters to be considered
by the lawmakers. Relief of im
poverished school districts, liquor
control and revisions or the truck
law are also to be discussed In the
statement, It was Indicated.
PENNSYLVANIA TO
INSPECT APAIRIES
Harrisburg, Fa. (IP) Before the
end of this year, the 200,000 hives
of bees in Pennsylvania will have
been inspected by experts oT the
department of agriculture as pro
vided in a state law designed to pro
tect buyers of honey.
Inspection of the 27.000 apiaries
in the state was placed on a sys
tematic basis In 1927 when a
countrywide plan was adopted to
control transmissible bee diseases.
When the initial inspection Is fin
ally completed this year, periodic
inspections will be made of all api
aries in the state. Better quality
honey and increased production
nave resulted from the statewide
clean-up, according to H. B. Kirk,
chief apiary inspector,

county agent's agricultural sermon
on "living on home products." He

large payroll, that will not wind up
its activities.
For at the conclusion of the pear
run the cannery will still have about
1000 tons of carrots to pack. The
payroll will be shaved off some when
the pear pack is finished but a
young army of women will still be
required to scrape and prepare the
carrots for consumption. The car
rots this year will come largely from
the Labish section and the Santiam
bottoms and will be of wonderful
quality this year. It requires sum
mer rains to produce the best kind
of a carrot crop and the carrots this
year got plenty of rains when they
would do the most good.
The plant has put on packs of
gooseberries, strawberries, logans.
blackberries, pears and will have the
added carrots. Blackberries are also
are still being packed.
The prune pack was exceedingly
large. But in addition to the can
ned pack the firm has also taken on
handling of considerable of a dried
prune pack this year both in Salem
and at Roseburg. The dried prune
pack is being handled here In the
cannery building. At Roseburg the
plant of the old Dragcr Fruit com
pany has been taken over and V. T.
Jackson, who handled the pack in
the Umpqua valley for that concern
Is Rgaln handling it this year for
Paulus brothers. A large quantity
of dried prunes will be handled.
George Paulus states that every
bit of canned fruit that has been or
will be packed Is packed on order
and all has been sold. The cannery
has a force working at top speed as
well shipping fruit which is going
out all the time but warehouses are
still full of it for delivery as fast
as it can be made.

SUES PHYSICIAN
AT MILLS CITY
FOR S75,000
Trial of a $75,000 damage nctlort
for alleged breach of contract on
part of a Mill City physician started
in circuit court before Judge Mc.
Malian and a Jury today. Lucy Daw
es by Joe Dawes, her guardian ad
litem, is suing William W. Allen,
Mill City physician.
She charges that she had a con
tract with Allen to care for her dur
ing childbirth and the time preced
ing and after. She declares he did
not carry out his contract, that no
one properly skilled was present at
the time of her child's birth, and
he failed to provide necessary care
afterward and as a result she al
leges she suffered so she was later
confined to the state insane hos
pital. She asks $25,000 for gross
reckless indifferences she. charges
on the part of the physician, and
$50,000 for breach of contract.
The physician denies the charges.
He admits she called on him before
birth of the child, but that she
owed him a large bill and he refused
to enter into a contract with her.
He stated he was employed by the
Hammond Lumber company, so told
her, and that he might be otherwise
engaged at the time of the birth of
her child. He stated through his ag
ent he did authorize services of an
other competent physician, but he
says she refused to accept any oth
er medical attention. He states five
minutes after the birth of the child
competent attention was at hand.
He charges that if she suffered
mental derangement it was due to ft
previous condition and not the re
sult of his negligence.
