Six Have Infant Paralysis.
Salem, Or.— Six cases of infantile
paralysis among the school children of
Salem caused stringent precautionary
measures to be taken Monday by Dr.
David N. Roberg, o f the State Board
o f Health, who placed the afflicted

These schools were fumigated.
Potato Yield is Heavy.
Aurora — Potatoes and hops have
come in so plentiful fo r storage that
practically every storeroom in town is
full, while the difficulty in obtaining
cars renders it almost impossible for
buyers to make further purchases ex
cept for future delivery. The yield
and quality of the potatoes in this sec

car shortage does not interfere with
the sale of them, there is every pros

Wheat Buyers Draw Out
for Lack of Freight Cars
Portland — The larger wheat buyers
have withdrawn from the market and
say they w ill do no more buying until
they
can get cars, regardless of
whether the market advances or de
clines. Orders from Eastern mills for
wheat are coming along strong, but
are being turned down, as there is no
immediate prospect o f moving the
wheat that has already been bought.
It is estimatd that not over 20 per
cent o f the crop has been shipped to
date, although the farmers have dis
posed of close to 80 per cent. The
remaining 60 per cent has been sold to
Eastern millers or to foreigners, but it
is still here.
Farmers are showing a disposition
to meet the market now, but find buy
ers are not plentiful.
A t the Mer
chants’ Exchange bids were reduced 3
to 6 cents, but there were no sales.
Oats were unchanged and feed barley
was 50 cents lower.
Considering the channels through
which the Northwestern crop is mov
ing this year, business on the local ex
change in the month of October might
be called quite active. The October
sales were 95,000 bushels of wheat,
400 tons o f oats, 100 tons of barley
and 500 tons o f millfeed, o f a total
value o f $165,300.
In October last
year the board sales were 140,000
bushels o f wheat and 800 tons of oats,
of a total value o f $153,700.
Strong Turkey Market Predicted.
Portland — A strong market
for
Thanksgiving turkey is predicted by T.
G. Farrell, who says:
“ W e believe that there is an aver
age crop o f turkeys this fail, not a
very big one, but a good average crop.
Conditions are pretty good, men are
pretty well employed, and prices on all
commodities are high. We, therefore,
predict that there w ill be a very fine
price for fancy dressed turkeys, geese
and ducks for the Thanksgiving trade.
There have been a few marketed al
ready fo r early shipment to remote
points, Alaska, Manila, etc.
They
were good and sold well, 27@27}c.
W e believe that fine goods on the
Thanksgiving market w ill bring this
much and perhaps more.
“ There w ill be a good demand also
for fine dresesd geese and ducks.
Chickens on the Thanksgiving market
are generally poor sellers; they will
be wanted later.
TRAIN ESCORT ALL SHOT DOWN
Two Cities Reported Taken by Villa
Forces— Attack on Chihuahua
City Promised Very Soon.
El Paso, Tex. — "D eath to Am eri
cana” was the cry o f the V illa bandits
who charged down from the foothills
at Laguna upon the Mexican Central
passenger train Monday night, Dr. S.
Haffner, the German physician who
was a passenger on this train, declared
upon his arrival here Saturday night
from Chihuahua City.
Dr. Haffner said he was told by one
of the V illa chiefs in .command o f the
bandits that V illa troops had captured
Santa Rosalia and Jindnez and would
take Chihuahua City within 10 days.
Dr.
Haffner, who had practiced
medicine in Chihuahua C ity
many
years, said he recognized many of the
bandits as former patients and called
them by name after he had established
his identity as a German subject.
“ I am sure 1 would have been killed
had I not been recognized as the Ger
man doctor who had lived in Chihuahua
City so long.” Dr. Haffner added.
“ The bandits came through the train
c r y in g ‘ Death to Am ericans!’ and us
ing the vilest oaths in reference to the
‘ gringoes,’ ” Haffner said.
“ I was
struck over the head by one o f the
bandtis, who used his rifle as a club
before I could convince him I was a
German, but as Boon as I convinced
them I was a German I was freed.’ ’
“ I t was just growing dusk as we
slowed down fo r Laguna station,” he
Baid. “ I had seen the men off in the
distance, but did not know they were
bandits until the train came to a sud
den stop and we discovered that the
engine, tender and baggage car had
been derailed.
“ W e heard shooting and then a
bandit with a large hat and with his
pistols drawn came through the train
and ordered us all to leave it. An aw
ful sight met our gaze as we alighted
from the train onto the ground.
The
Carranza soldiers composing the escort
were shot down like dogs.
I counted
13 dead soldiers along the track and
more bodies a short distance away,
where they were shot with pistols by
the bandits where they stood.
One
boy o f 15 kept saluting and begging
the commander of the bandits to spare
his life.
His answer was a bullet
from the commander’s pistol.
In all
more than 20 soldiers were shot.”
Vcfiizdists Attack Greek Royal forces.
London— According to special dis
patches from Athens Saturday, the
Venizelist national defense army has
seized Katerina, a few miles south
west o f Saloniki, after a short fight
with the Greek royalist troops.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Athens says:
“ An extraordinary situation has
been created by
the
action
of
the officers o f the Larissa
rail
way, which is controlled by the en
tente allies, in allowing royalist m ili
tary officers to send reinforcements to
oppose the advance o f Venizelists.”
The Venizelist army now numbers
30,000.
Reuter’s Athens correspondent says
the Greek government has sent rein
forcements o f infantry and artillery to
Katerina.
The correspondent adds
that Admiral Du Fournet, commander
of the allied fleet in the Mediterran
ean, has sent notice to the Greek har
bor authorities indicating a danger
zone fo r vessels entering or leaving
Piraeus harbor.
“ Certain circles in Athens,” the cor
respondent continues, “ interpret this
notice as meaning that Admiral Du
Fournet has hitherto neglected to in
form the Greek authorities o f the pre
cautionary measures taken, such as the
laying o f mines, and it is even insinu
ated that the Greek steamers Angheli-
ki and K ik i Issaias, which were sunk
recently, struck mines laid by the en
tente a llies.”
Goodies fo r Army Asked.
San Antonio, Texas— The women of
San Antonio are to be asked to bake
sufficient cakes, pies and cookies for
the Thanksgiving dinner o f the 16,000
troops stationed at Camp Wilson. Plans
for the undertaking were announced
Saturday at a meeting o f the local R o
tary club. An appeal w ill be made to
every woman in the city to contribute
a share toward adding a “ home touch”
to the holiday dinner o f the guardsmen
who came to defend the border.
