Confesses Killing
Ro?u River peari aboard the
steamship "Florldlan" storm-tossed
the first of the week, when It at
tempted to cross the Columbia river,
suffered no damage, according to
Robert K, Norrls, of the Pinnacle
Packing company, who has returned
from Portland.
"The 32,600 boxes of pears con
signed to New York, came out of the
storm In good shape," according to
Norrls.
The Florldlan returned to Port
land, where It la now undergoing
repairs, with sailing scheduled for
next week, .
Ouy W. Conner of this city, a su
pernumerary aboard the vessel, as
signed to the keeping of temperature ,
data, survived the storm In good
shape, according to Norrls. and will
continue with the ship to New York
City. '
"It was a wonderful experience.",
Norrla says Connor told him. ul am
going to stay with the boat till she
sinks or gets to new York."

PORTLAND, Oct. 25. (Special)
Twisted rails, broken bulkheads and
other wreckage aboard the freighter
Florldlan vividly show the effect of
the Paclflo ocean's heavy artillery,
trained on the ship Sunday after
she left the Columbia river bound
for New York. She came back Mon
day, her officers thankful they had
drifted no closer than they did to
the Washington shore Just north of
the river.
In driving rain end mist, blown
across the harbor almost horizon
tally by whining gusts of wind, the
vessel looked the picture of dismal
defeat as she lay at Terminal No. 4.
But not so with the master.
"Oh, It was nothing." Captain
George Johnson said with a smile, i
"There's no story In It. We Just'
couldn t steer, so we anchored, and
when the weather moderated
slipped our chains and came back.
We ll be ready to go again In a few
days."
And the master was no more ex
cited than that, so others aboard
said, when the ship was drifting to
ward the beach and her wireless was
clashing an SOS call.
On board was O. W. Conner, Med
ford fruit shipper, accompanying
the shipment of 32.500 boxes of pears
stowed In refrigerated holds.
"Officers and men were every-,
where." Conner said. "They were j
wonderful. Not one of them wes ex
cited. They tried to corral the an
chor but the seoa were rolling over
the decks all the time. A cable drum!
ripped loose from the forward deck
and came charging aft. They tried
to get that and eorral It but the
waves were sweeping them against
the masts and rails and bulkheads.
Ohe sailor practically went over
board. Another was trying to hang
onto him and pull him but he waa
going over too. A third saw them
and caught the second man. Between
them they managed to get back.
"The men tried to use the hand
steering gear but were almost swept
off Into the sea. The gear Itself waa
snapped off like matches. That waa
given up on orders of the officers.
One of the waves went clear over
the bridge and tons of water poured
Into the cabins and companlonwaya.
It was knee deep In the rooms.
"I heard one of the men ask the
third mate what they could do. He
replied 'that automobiles can't kill
all of us, so we might as well drown."
Repairs will be completed speedily,
two new anchors will be shipped and
the vessel will resume the voyage In
a few doys. Captain Johnson said.

TOKYO, Oct. M. yp) America and
Oreat Britain have aligned against
Japan In a conflict of interests pro
viding the first teat of whether the
"open-door" policy will be maintained
by Manchukuo, it waa learned today
The controversy concerns the oil
monopoly In Manchkuo. with western
commercial Interests alleging a viola
tion of their treaty rights.
American and British oil companies,
chief among them the Standard Oil
company of New York and the Brit
ish Asiatic Petroleum company, face
an Intensive struggle for existence
in Manchukuo aa the government
there prepares to establish a state
oil monopoly.
Although the United States gov
ernment has made no official protect
nor any diplomatic representations, It
was learned the American and British
embaaslea for three months have been
discussing the monopoly project w!th
the Tokyo foreign office.
They are seeking Information on
the monopoly, detail of which have
not been announced, and are Inti
mating In a friendly and Informal
manner the Anglo-American convic
tion that such a monopoly would
undermine the whole principle of the
"open-door" especially violating article
III of the nine-power treaty.
American and British oil men ire
convinced that their companies, whlsh
suppy 80 per cent of the refined oil
market In Manchukuo. will be forced
to surrender a substantial share of
their business to Japanese competi
tors under the monopoly set-up.
If Washington and London heed
the latest urglngs of the oil com
paniesand thus far they have clear
ly shown a disposition to go to bat
for their nationals on this Issue a
definite diplomatic conflict may de
velop shortly.

TEXTILE TRADE
By FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY
I'nlted Prrsa Staff Correspondent
MANILA. (UP) The extent to
which Japan has cut Into the United
States textile trade with the Philip
pine Islands li revealed In a report
on Philippine economic conditions
made by the American trade commissioner.
During the first semester of 1934
total cotton imports amounted to
50,193.518 square meters, valued at
00,625.000. of which volume the Unit
ed States supplied 24,181,591 square
meters, valued at 3,0fl3,886. and Ja.
pan, 22,814.718 square meters, valued
at 92,346.500.
While cotton Imported waa 13 per
cent less than during the first se
mester of 1933, Imports from the
United States showed a decline of 45
per cent while Imports from Japan
Increased 137 per cent.

SISKiYOU FOREST
GRANTS PASS. (Spl.) Showing
that Austrian pine Is probably the
best variety of timber stock to plant
In the Low Divide region of the
Chetko ranger district. Siskiyou na
tional forest, a report of experimental
plantings has been received by the
forest headquarters In Grants Pass.
The report was made by District
Ranger L. M. Hoist and showed that
the Austrian pine had grown four
feet higher than the taller of the
other two varieties planted with it
at the same time 23 years ago.
The pine trees were planted in the
fall of 1011. The Low Divide district
is one of low timber producing value
and the type of tree native to It Is
of poor quality. In order to find a
kind of pine that would be of more
value In the district, the government
tried planting the Austrian, Maritime
and Scotch pine trees.
The Austrian variety averaged 14
feet In height, according to Hoist's
report. The Maritime averaged 10
feet and the Scotch pine 8 feet.
All the trees are doing well In
their new home as there had been no
loss of trees since the last check,
about four years ago. Only the Mar
itime variety showed signs of Injury.
These had some breakage from snow.
The plantings are in the vicinity
of the historic Low Divide road,
which was the original road from the
coast to Sailor's Dlggfn's, where gold
was first discovered in Josephine
county, and Into the mining country
along the north fork of Smith river.
