Northern Pacific reached a new
1835 high at 23 for 2 points ad
vance. Union Pacific was 2 higher

favorable dividend action, brought
buying Into metals.
The rise also accompanied a sharp
break In foreign gold currencies.
The Bank of Prance statement
showed gold reserves at the lowest
level since June, 1032. This of course
meant strengthening of the dollar,
a situation entirely traceable to
France's economic difficulties and
possibility of devaluation of the
franc.
Motor equipment shares turned
strong on Improving business.
The utility situation was enliv
ened with additional announce
ments of Intention to test constitu

500 CARLOADS OF
POTATOES SHIPPED
Klamath Falls, Nov. 31 (P) Near
ly 500 carloads of potatoes have
gone out of this section to the Pa
cific coast market, since November
1, according to Ross Aubrey, federal
Inspector.
Some shipments were completed
In October but the November move
ment represents the bulk. Buying
has slowed down here considerably
and It Is expected there will be an
average of about a dozen cars a day
until the crop Is exhausted.
After the jump to the vicinity of
12 during the recent cold snap, the
price has dropped back to around
$1.25. While many farmers suffered
heavy Individual losses, the potato
Income In general has been greater
this year due to higher bidding to
offset the damago in the field.

NORTH ITALIAN
ARMY PURSUES
FORCES OF RAS
(Continued from page 1)
men carried their dead as they lied.
Italians reported they were pur
suing the retreating Ethiopians with
lull strength.
The Italian command threw four
battalions of infantry and one cav
alry squadron into the chase hoping
to outflank and encircle the Ethio
pian forces before their commander
could rally them to a new stand.
An Italian aerial reconnaissance
showed that Ethiopian forces,
scattered by last Monday's bombing
and machine gun 'raid in the Mai
Mesclc valley, 10 miles south of Sce
llcot, were concentrating again in
the same locality.
The air observers said the Ethio
pian soldiers were adopting every
natural means of shelter against
another slaughter from the sky but
that their efforts appeared untrain
ed and without skill.
The Italian losses in the fighting
were reported as small;
Ras Seyoum chose a moment
for the encounter when only one
Italian battalion, composed of native
troops, confronted him.
The encounter was near Abaro
pass in the Temblen region, west of
Makale.
The Ethiopians directed a hot
machine gun fire against the Ital
ian forces from lofty mountain po
sitions.
After several hours of fighting,
when three other Italian battalions
and a squadron of cavalry came up
to the aid of the beleaguered native
battalion, Ras Seyoum's men melted
away among the mountains.
With the Italian Army at Makale,
Ethiopia. Nov. 21 (P Undaunted by
the Italian air forces' heavy bom
bardment Monday at Buia, south of
Makale, Ethiopian forces reassem
bled there today apparently girding
for attack.
Air scouts reported the Ethiopians
have returned to the region and
taken up posts alongside dead bod
ies of their comrades.
The Buia territory forms a natu
ral path to Amba Alaji. The gath
ering of the native warriors there
means to the Italian high command
that fighting on a large scale may
be expected as soon as the Italians
attempt to march forward from Ma
kale, and perhaps sooner.
The Ethiopians' chitet (war
drum) was reported throbbing
throughout the whole southern Ti-
gre province. Italian officers ac
cordingly believe Ras Seyoum is
gathering his forces in the Tembien
region and getting ready for the as
sault, with Irregulars to help his
crack regular troops.
Runners from a flying column of
cavalry and nr.'ive Infantry, which
has been mopping up in Temblen,
west of Makale, reported a fair-
sized concentration of Ethiopian
troops routed and dispersed after a
short battle.
They added that Ras Seyoum'o
chitet had so far brought but 600
warriors to his standard.
Ras Burrus' drums have been sim
ilarly heard along the Setlt river,
the runners advised the command
here, but had recruited only 800
tribesmen "of poor fighting qual
ity" and three machine guns.
PRICE OF ONIONS
PLEASES GROWERS
!
Hazel Qreen Advances in onion
prices are bringing hopes of en
couragement to the local Japanese
celery and onion growers, who suf
fered huge losses during the recent
freeze.
Estimates place the loss of celery
between 70 and 80 carloads and let
tuce losses were undetermined. Ac
tual sales of onions were reported
at $800 a carload, whtch would be
about $1.66 cental, with options of
fered at $1.75. Most growers are con
tinuing to withhold their supplies
from market even at the latter fig
ure, a 25 cent increase . over the
previous high of $1.50. Buyers were
furnishing sacks and twine to the
growers, with the new quotation.
Reports indicate that the outside
onion trade is depending on Ore
gon for its late season needs.

UPTREND IN
WHEAT VALUES
Chicago, Nov. 21 (IP) Wheat fu
tures leaped toward the dollar level
on the board of 'trade today with
the December option moving up
more than 2 cents a bushel to with
in a fraction of that mark. Rye

mixed.

1-2'i cents a bushel higher, com
was !4 lower to 'A higher, oats ',i
lower to t4 higher, and rye -19l
cents a bushel higher.
Surprising strengtn in foreign
and northwestern markets, unfav
orable crop reports from the Argen
tine and the reported sale of 60,000
bushels of red wheat In the local
market brought general demand.
Offerings dwindled. Eastern inter
ests bought aggressively, forcing
short covering. Outside participa
tion Improved and trading was quite
active.
Most offerings came from privil
ege holders and traders taking pro
fits. An advance at Winnipeg in the
face of reports the new government
would adopt a more aggressive sell
ing policy was a factor. The cash
market was steady.
Com firmed early, out sold off on
reports of clearing weather and
fears of Increased receipts. Rye was
strong throughout, while oats were
dull.

MARSHFIELD
NEED NOT WORRY
OVER HIGHWAY
Marshfield need not be disturbed
at reports that the Oregon coast
highway one day will not run
through the city. R. H. Baldock.
state highway engineer, said today.
If the route of the road Is ever
changed, the highway will probably
be turned off at Marshfield and not
at North Bend, Baldock predicted.
"Reconnaissance surveys looking
very far Into the future are being
made on the coast highway," Bal
dock said. "One proposed new route
would go to Charleston and Cape
Arago and then down to Bandon.
There are others being studied.
"But so are surveys being made
all over the state. We must look to
the future to improvements of a
permanent character will not be
built where there is a possibility, of
the road going anywhere else. But
nothing will probably be done in
re-routing the coast highway for
ten, 15 or maybe 25 years. No one
can say." , '
A survey of possible widening and
oiling of the Scottsburg-Reedsport
highway, for which the commission
has tentatively set aside $50,000, will
not be completed until February or
March, and Improvements to the
road will have to wait until the
commission can act after that, Bal
dock said.
TRADE TREATY
TEST PROPOSED
Washington, Nov. 21 (yp) Former
Senator C. C. Dill, Washington
state democrat, suggested to lumber
interests today that they join other
Industries to test the reciprocal
trade agreement law in the courts.
Expressing belief the law was un
constitutional, he said there were
two things industries could do:
"They can go to congress and
get renewed excise taxes to over
come the acts made by the presi
dent, or they can go into court
and test the legality of the grant
of power given the president to
make treaties without ratification
by the senate.
"The objection to the first action
is that the president probably would
veto any legislation Increasing the
excise tax on Items In the pacts."
The lumber Industry could insti
tute court action to compel the
collector 6r customs In a port of
entry to charge the tariffs made by
congress rather than those fixed by
the president. Dill said.
On the other hand, he added,
lumbermen could Join representa
tives of other Industries in such a
suit, and bring an action covering
many Items which suffered reduc
tions of protection in any recipro
cal trade agreements. He said,
however, he would prefer to see ac
tion against the Canadian pact
alone. -
TURKEYS SELL FROM
25 TO 26 CENTS LB.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 21 (P) Tur
key sales continued erratic todav
with 24 to 27 cents being paid for
one of the most extensive kills in
years. Most sales were from 25 to 26
cents.
Market operators said the 31V4-
cent price set by the turkey poo' oi
southern California for prime hens
was so high it might lead to a con
sumer revolt. .
Freight differences would put the
Portland price about a cent lower,
The comment of some Portland
operators follows:
Rov Martindale of Swift & Co,
"The market has been placed rather
high but when one considers other
meats and the advance in chickens
over a year ago, turkeys are not so
high."
C. W. Norton of Northwest Poul
try !c Dairy Products "The pool
price looks a trifle high but Is not
much higher than what some deal
ers have been paying In the coun
try, boxing and freight considered."
Abe Welch of Oregon-Savinar
Produce Exchange "It looks a tri
fle high to me but there's fio telling
what will happen when liberal kill
ing and shipment to the south stop.
They are still paying 26 to 27c loose
net to growers in the. valley."
Wallace J. Derthick of Portland
Produce "Local receipts have been
light because of speculative buying
at high prices in the country. It Is
too early to say what the local mar
ket will do."
Albert H. Clark of American Pro-
duce-"Most supply is being ship
ped. Trade Is still active on lighter
weights, whtch are mostly desired."
TURKEY HARVEST STARTS

two crew members suffered slight
burns.

gency stop on their wheels.
Meanwhile, extra crews were
working along the Santa Fe line
from Kansas City to the coast, con.
dltlonlng the right of way for the
new high-speed schedule of the
Super-Chief.
President S. T. Bledsoe of the
Santa Fe announced the mishap
would in no way affect plans of the
company for the new high-speed
schedule.
At the time of the fire, the train
was running more than an hour and
a half ahead of its schedule, which
had called for the run from Chicago
to the coast in thirty-one and one
half hours. n
