XEW YORK, Sept. 27. Wide
open breaks in a dozen or more high
priced stocks, which broke $10 to $l.'5
a share, brought about another
sweeping reaction in prices in today's

Rallies Lacking
Short covering failed to cause ap

The decline was in reflection of the
unexpected increase of $192,000,000
in brokers loans, which was widely in
terpreted as indicating that stock had
been passing from strong to weak
hands.
Auburn Auto, a rather mercurial Is

FOR HAY
TO BE TALKED
Iane county will be represented at
a meetim? of the governor, state high
way commission and coast counties
delegations at Salem Saturday, Sep
tember 28 at which the matter of pro
Tiding funda for the completion of the
Roosevelt highway through Oregon
will be discussed.
C. P. Barnsrd and Oral E. Crowe
of the county court and a special
chamber of commerce committee made
up of Karl Hill, Cushman and F. L.
Chambers of Eugene will look after
Lane's interests at the meeting.
Judge Barnard said Friday after
noon that Lane county has more than
22 miles of the Roosevelt highway yet
uncompleted within its bounds. He
said that the state highway commis
sion has given him no assurance that
these iz miles would De com pie tea.
Lane county, which stands to be
the greatest loser if the road is not
completed, will bend every effort to
get action on the road construction.
Judge Barnard said.
The problem Is one of cost. No
funds are available at present for the
Roosevelt project- The mast counties
have asked the commission to well
bonds in the sum of five million dol
lars to pay for the road. The plan
is to sell one million in bonds each
year for five yeara.
Judge Barnard said that the com
mission is not in favor of selling
bonds, and may present other meth
ods of providing funds. None have
hffn suL'treMted. he said, as yet.
The Siuslaw agreement, while not
actually signed by the participants. Is
definitely settled, Judge Barnard said
upon return from the commission
meeting Friday. The contract will be
forwarded to Lane county for signa
ture aome time next week. It is under
stood. Oiffl-PACIFIC
