$230, more than $100 higher than
last year, but still under the all
time individual top of $285 at the

opening bid of $100 on the first
animal in the ring that buyers
were optimistic and wen looking
foi good quality breeding stock.
Market hog prices, at the farm
level, about one-third higher than
a ylar ago and prospects for am
ple feed barley from diverted
wheat acreage have made the
twine outlook expensive. Perhaps
the sunny, warm weather had a
bearing on the good feceling.
Harry Hawkins of Broadmead
Farms, Amity, bought the $250
top gilt, a Yorkshire consigned
by John J. Schmitz of Mt. Angel.

old gorilla who weighs only 65
pounds was reported doing well
today at winter quarters of the
Ringling Bros, and Barnum
Bailey Circus after undergoing a
delicate brain operation.
Toto II. the ill and underweicht
gorilla, was reported by Dr. J. Y.
Henderson, circus veterinarian, to
be resting comfortably and eating
well.
The gorilla underwent the opera
tion Saturday when D.R. Mason
Trupp a Tampa removed brain
tissue in an effort to determine
the cause of paralysis that has
sapped the animal's strength.
This tissue will be examined to
determine if the cause of Toto's
trouble is a tumor or a parasitical
growth which can be arrested by
meuicine.
Dr. Henderson said it was the
first time, to his knowledge, that
a gorilla had undergone brain
surgery.

fore taking definite action.
The system to be located on Main

HOSPITALITY
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Report
People of India Cordial
An interesting story of observa-'
tion made in India has been re
ceived by the Capital Journal in
a letter from Mr. and Mrs. George
L. Oliver, son-in-law and daugh
ter of Dr. and Mrs. M. C. Findley
of Salem.
Mr. Oliver is a Willamette Uni
versity graduate and for many
years has been a teacher in the
High School at Yakima, Wash.,
but this year is on sabbatical leave,
and he and Mrs. Oliver are travel
ing around the world. He writes:
We were well received by the
Indian people in Bombay. Every
one, trom neaim oiuciais io uie
custom officials, were very Kino
to us.
"Bombay Is a very large city,
and is really a city on an Island,
like New York City. It is estimated
by authorities that there are about
600,000 refugees in Bombay. The
federal government and the Bom
bay officials are trying to build
new homes for these refugees, but
there are still a great number who
do not have homes as yet.
"We passed by the Silent Tower,
which is the place where tne peo
ple of Parsee faith leave their dead
to be eaten by the vultures. The
Tower is located in a small parK,
on a hill surrounded by a high

dense about the park that one can
not see the Tower from the road,
but we saw the gate where the
hodv is carried by the attendants.
They carry it Io the Tower while
the relatives wait at mo gate, ir

or anima'. They call this trans
migration from the soul.
"We flew from Bombay to Delhi,
and saw some rugged country. Al
so we were able to study the farm
ing operations. On our trip to
Delhi, which is at present Ihe scat
of government for India, we met
and visited with the Attorney Gen
eral of India, Mr. Sctalvad. A few
days later in Delhi he invited us
to his home for tea, and gave us
a copy of a lecture he had given i
on the Indian Constitution. India!
now gives equal rights to both men
and women in India. They have !
also outlawed the caste system, I
which has helped bring equality
to Indian people. However, in
some places the caste system is
still observed.
"The monsoon period is from
June to September, and as much
as 20 to 100 inches of rain falls.
In spite of this seasonal rain they !
carry on much irrigation in the,
dry season. Most of the water is;
pumped by the oxen nr camel

"We visited the Taj Mahal tomb
in Agra, India, which was built in '
1626 with marble shipped from
Japan, 175 miles away. It is a beau
tiful building and is surrounded
by water pools and a well-kept
park.
"In Benares we were able to see
the pilgrims bathing in the Ganges.
Steps of stone and cement lead
down to the river s edge where
millions of people come to bathe
in the sacred river. We saw much
poverty here and a floating popu
lation where it is estimated that
25 per cent of the people have no
homes, but live in the streets. ,
