STOCKS CLIMB
IN LAST HOURS
ON GOOD NEWS
New York, April 21 (LP) A vat
array ol favorable news, Including
optimistic statements by business
leaders turned the stock market up
In the last hour today after a sc
sion of erratic movements,
Bonds failed to participate In the
recovery. Commodities were mixed
In a narrow ranne with principal
grains slightly higher. The dollar
was barely changed In terms of for
eign currencies.
American water works was up In
moderately active turnover on the
statement of Its president that re
sumption of dividends would be con
sidered when tax legislation was oal
of the way.
Chrysler's president told stock
holders that orders were well above
1935 which In itself set a new rec-1
ord. His statement together with es-1
ti mates the corporation will report
net equal to $2.50 a share for the
first quarter sent the slock up more !
than a point and steadied other
motor shares.
Steel shares were mixed fn the
face of further gains. Dow-Jones
estimated operations at 70 per cent
up 4 points from a week ago. The
U. S. Steel corporation was placed
at 64 per cent up 2 points, while
operations of Independents soared
5'4 points to 74 'i per cent, the high
est for this season since 1930.
Railroad shares steadied after
early Irregularity. Car loadings for
the week ended last Saturday ura
expected to show another gain over
the previous week. Lumber traffic
was helping Northern Pacific, its
president said.
Dow Jones preliminary closing av
erages showed: Industrial 153.36, up
0.96; railroad 46.16, oft 0.25; utility
31.30, up 0.05. Volume approximated
1,880,000 shares compared with 1,
650,000 yesterday. Curb sales were
451,000 shares comparea with 448,000
shares yesterday.
PRliNEEXPORT
PLAN FORMED
The Federal Trade commission,
has announced from Washington
approval of the filing of notice of
Intention under the Wcbb-Pomerenc
Act to organize the California Prune
Export association, says the Califor
nia Fruit News. This latter was ac
tually completed a month ago and
was originally organized for a three
months' term but mny be extended.
It comprises the Important packers
who are present owners of prunes In
. California, six firms in nil, and was
established primarily to stabilize
the price structure on our prunes
sold abroad. Other questions of Im
proving and enlarging our prune ex
port trade and making It more pro
fitable are possible of being worked
' out under this prune export organ
ization. Dwight K. Grady, secretary
of the Dried Fruit association of
California, Is the secretary of the
new export organization.
The federal export trade law pro
vides opportunity for exemption
' from the anti-trust laws for associ
ations organized to operate In ex
porting and this new organization
has been perfected because its cur
rent need of operating Is in a smal
ler field than the generalities of the
whole dried fruit export business,
which Is covered by our Dried Fruit
Export association.'

the product of the pool. This is the
largest Ettcrbcrg pool In the state,

fourth of the total tonnage.
The pool represents about lfcO
acres with an average yield o'
around a ton to the acre. There was
a time when the Ettcrbcrg acreage
was immensely larger but freeze
wiped it out and it has been slowly
coining back as demands for acreage
from the packers warranted. As fir
as known no strawberries have been
purchased save under deals whereby
canncrs have taken over their reg
ular customers but no price as la:
as known has been fixed.

WHEAT RISES
AFTER SLUMP
Chicago, April 21 (.Ti Buying of
May wheat against sales of July
caused irregularity in wheat values
late today.
Broom hall said unfavorable poli
tical conditions in Europe, and
small ness of arrivals of wheat from
overseas, is making trans-Atlantic
shorts nervous. He added that the
Australian wheat surplus was de
creasing rapidly, and that Austral
ian wheat was held higher than
Canadian.
Wheat closed mixed, fii off to sk
up compared with yesterday's fin
ish. May 99 Ti -1.00, July 91 -,
corn unchanged to higher, May
63-63'.8, oats down, and provi
sions showing 5 to 35 cents decline.
Chicago. April 21 (LP) Wheat fu
tures rallied sharply on the board
of trade late today after an early
slump of a cent a bushel on moisture
reports from the drought areas. The
recovery was due to short covering
on advices that rains had been too
light to be of material benefit.
At the close May and July were
up Vz cent net and l'& cent above
the low, September was off U cent
net but cent above its low. Corn
closed unchanged to Vi cent higher,
oats H to U cent lower and rye
hi to cent lower.
May displayed most resistance to
the decline reflecting firmness in
the cash market. Reports of a good
export business and belief clearances
out of Canada soon after the open
ing of navigation will be heavy were
reflected In a better tone at Winni
peg, aiding the local market.
Reports of rain came from scat
tered sections of the southwest belt.
However, most advices said precipla
tion was light and would do little to
aid crops which arc deteriorating
rapidly in some sections.

ROSEBURG VOTES
ROAD RELOCATION
Roscburg. Ore., April 21 iA) The
Roscburg city council by resolution
last night consented to the state
highway commission's proposal for
relocation of the Pacific highway
through the city of Roseburg. De
spite considerable local opposition
to the change, the vote on the res
olution was 7 to 1. ,
The highway re-routing will re
move the highway two blocks from
the center of the business district
and will require the extension of
Stephens street northward to the
north city limits. The new route
will be directly through the city,
eliminating two right angle turns
and one angle street. Construction
of a concrete and steel bridge will
be required and much valuable
right-of-way through a residential
district will be necessitated.
The road grading and bridge con
struction is expected to cost in the
neighborhood of $83,000, while the
purchase of right-of-way is ex
pected to bring the total cost in ex
cess of $200,000.

ETHIOPIANS IN
LAST STAND TO
CHECK ITALIANS
4 Con tinned from page 1)
the Italian army reached this goal.
The passes, rising 12.000 feet, lie
about 60 miles from Addis Ababa,
one-third the distance to Dessye.
Hundreds of newly armed volun
teers were moving northward toward
the mountains to take up stations
for the anticipated battle.
In event the Italians arc not halt
ed in the mountains, the Ethiopians
are expected to carry on guerilla
fighting.
The Addis Ababa radio station
communicated today with the gov
ernment's wireless station at Warra
Hailu, in the presence of an Asso-1
elated Press representative, and es- j
tablished that the Italian army can
not be more than 30 miles south of i
Dessyc, which it captured last Wed
nesday and left immediately after
ward in a dash toward the capital.
This indicated a possibility the
Italians may be taking the longer
eastern road via the Danakil desert,
which leads to Addis Ababa via An
kober and also to Hawash, the site
of the Ethiopian railway's largest
bridge.
The flight of natives from the
capital continued.
Many foreigners slept last night
in legation grounds where soup kit
chens have been functioning.
Capt. John Meade, American
military attache who spent nine
months with the Ethiopian armies
in the north, will entrain tomorrow
for Djibouti.
The government reported the
Ethiopians still held Daggah Bur
and Sasa Baneh, on the southern
front.
There were no serious consequen
ces of yesterday's run on the bank
of Ethiopia, as the bank had vir
tually complete silver coverage.
In addition, no person has been
permitted to take out of the country
more than five silver tnaicrs.
The bank, however, was proceed
ing with plans to close Thursday.

underground.
Behind them labored scores of
volunteer workers, the "men with
guts," for whom Dwvc-r had called
to cart debris out oi the rescue
shaft as the draegermcn wielded
picks and shovels in acvancc.
Although many irscue workers
were so exhausted they were oper
ating 15 minute shifts some draeg
ermcn remained belo more than 30
hours, flatly refusing to come to the
surface.
Twenty more volunteers arrived
'.cday from the New Glasgow dis
trict mines, fifty mojc left Stcllar-ton.
No one knew the txact physical
condition of the two prisoners. Dr.
Robertson would only say "Wc are
fine." But they did nut walk over
to the 125-foot tube through which
they received yostcrc.ny their first
nourishment in sevco days.
Wc are too weak.' Robertson
said over a one-way telephone.

along the human chfm, the miners
worked in relays. When their "trick"
was up they staggered to the fresh
