There are several other Inner fac

Byrns alliance was successful last

On the other hand, Byrns has
'jDod.thaT.ee of lining up a northern
or eastern democrat for floor leader
on his slate. Then his slly can raise a
cry about the south trying w hog the
posts of honor.
It la a peculiar thing that the house
has sometimes chosen Its leaders, not
lor what they are, but for where they
come from. At any rate, the fight th:a
time will be closer than you suspect.
Wall street got a hot tip last week

WINDSTORM CUTS
BY 1 5J020 CARS
Less Damage Than First Be
lieved, Shown in Cursory
Survey More Storms
Predicted for Foot Hills
A gusty 45 mlle-per-hour wind that
broke over the Rogue river valley
Monday evening, between eight and
nine o'clock, caused "leas damage
than one would expect," in the or
chards of the valley.
' Consensus of growers and packers,
some of whom, had made cursory sur
veys this morning, conservatively es
timated the loss at between 15 and
20 cars of pears, and the same num
ber of apples. The loss was widely
scattered.
Cornice pears were the hardest hit.
It was estimated that two cars of that
variety were blown down at the Hill-
crest orchard, and the same number
at the Hollywood orchards. The Co-
mice variety are now being picked.
Bulk of Crop Picked
A saving grace Is thst the bulk of
the pear crop his been picked. The
Bases have practically alt been bar
vested, and the D'AnJous are 75 per
cent gathered.
The wind which came at the end of
a muggy day, of low humidity, and a
high temperature of 96 degrees, was
accompanied by gusta of rain. The
wind varied in velocity from the high
point of 45 miles per hour.
It Is estimated thst the apple crop.
chiefly Newtowns suffered more than
the pears. Picking and packing ot ap
ples Is scheduled to start next week.
Reports indicate that the wind was
hlghe'.c in the Central Ualnt district
In that city the front of Damon's res
taurant was blown In.
Robert K. Norrls, horticulturist for
the Pinnacle Packing company said,
he would not attempt to make an es
timate of the loss until he had made
a survey.
Loss Esfmate Vary
Some frultmen estimated that the
loas would run from half a box to
five boxes of pears and apples per
tree.
County Horticulturist Lyle P. Wil
cox and Pleld Inspector Warner were
engaged today in making a survey of
the orchards.
Thunderstorms are predicted for to
day in the high hills, and a lively
breeze from a generally westerly di
rection wsa blowing over the valley.
