STRICT ENFORICNG OF TOMATO RULES Melon and tomato growers of Jack son county, principally the Central point. Medford, and Ashland district!.! conferred yesterday afternoon In the courthouse auditorium, with C. Wes ley Williams of Roseburg, treasurer of the Oregon-Washington Tomato Melon Marketing agreement, on en forcement of the agricultural market agreement law, for the coming sea son. Twenty-seven valley growers were present. Williams assured the growers that an enforcement officer, would be ap pointed for Jackson and Josephine counties and that an enforcement officer would be stationed at Klam ath Falls, whose duties would em brace Lake view. It was alto announced that list ing stations for produce would be established at the Junction of Ashland-Klamath Palls highway, at Klamath Falls and at Lakeview to check on the entry of California pro duce, and the re-entry of Oregon pro duce at other points, after departure from Oregon. A number of valley growers at tne mectinn. expressed a desire that en forcement of the market laws have teeth." Williams said the enforce ment would be ample, "If the grow ers supported It." Local growers stat ed that Medford merchants had given whole-hearted support to the market ing agreement daw. It was the sense of the meeting that violators of the marketing agreement law be prose cuted. Williams stressed the point that in such actions, the support of the growers was important. Crop quotas, stamps on melons and tomatoes, and prices to cannery and dealer were also discussed informally. SALLEE ON STAND CENTRAL PT.

Left to Legislature "The selection of the site the tyixj and cost of the new building arc ma, ten for the legislature to decide." said Oovernor Martin.

Nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, rturned to his parents Saturday after payment of '200.000 ransom, said there were six men In the kidnap gang, who . kept their faces masked most of the time. The largest force of federal offi cers ever gathered in a Pacific north west crime investigation dogged the trail of the kidnapers, with every indication they were seeking to take advantage of a false move by the gang. Passing of Note Is Clue. Passing of the first ransom note in eastern Oregon Sunday night was a definite clue on which to work in the grim manhunt for the boys ab' due tors. Woodland Holdup Confession Made KELSO. Wash.. June 5. (AP Captain John Keegan of the Portland detective bureau late yesterday an nounced that Michael Lawrence Mooney. 24. hnd confessed the rob bery of the Woodland, Wash., bank May 23. Loot totalled $1570. Keegan also said Mooney admitted 10 street ?ar holdups In Portland. Mooney sur rendered to the sheriff here Monday. Justice department headquarters continued a long refusal to discuss moves In the search, but it was known two agents had been sent to Huntington, Ore., where the first bill in the 200,000 ransom fund popped up. "We can't say one way or another,-' waa the reply from Justice depart ment headquarters when asked If any arrests had been made or were im pending. "What are today's developments?" "We are standing by," was the reply. Considered Near "Slip" There was every indication that authorities considered the eastern Oregon incident as coming close to ! the "slip" for which they are on ; guard. It was pointed out that should tne man at Huntington, who purchased a ticket for Salt Lake City with a 20 ransom note, attempt to pass more of them farther east, there would be Just that much more chance of catching him. The 20.000 bills In the ransom fund, all but nine Issued by the San Francisco federal reserve district, would be easily detected in the east where they are rare. It was explained. About 30 picked men from the de partment of Justice, headed by E. J. Connelley of Cincinnati, plodded through every clue that turned up in a gradual process of eliminating the useless ones. k -fx 8 V 10' ,r. .-rCO'l o'8 01 Y iA " - A cve- c - .it .v- Ncco l00 Use Mall Tribune want ads. hwo, v.X'- - v . i la i O I'Lort'iwa Oo.. loam i iani'iilyrfi'ftii A complaint charging Dave Wilson of the Central Point-Willow Springs district with permitting hogs to run at large, waa filed yesterday in Jus tice of the Peace William R.
