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 children under quarantine. Playmates who had been exposed to the disease al so were quarantined. The children a f fected with the malady were pupils at the Highland and Garfield schools. 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 tion is better than for years and i f the car shortage does not interfere with the sale of them, there is every pros pect o f a rich harvest.

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.
