short three-day period, from the 38th
to 30th. with very light rains falling.

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.

the reply of Justice department
headquarters here when given the
names of the five men.
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.

A complaint charging Dave Wilson
of the Central Point-Willow Springs
district with permitting hogs to run
at large, waa filed yesterday in Jus

neighbor. Hearing on the charge is
scheduled for today.
Wilson was the defendant n a re

The sliot wounded the brute in the
neek. knocking It down.
Growing overconfident, Dick step
ped toward the animal to fire the
finishing Miot when the wounded
animal charged him. A tiny black
don. snitpplng at the bear's heels,
diverted Its attention, nnd the dog
chased the animal across (lie orchard
where Pnul and Ivo SnkraUla, nnd
Loffer managed to head It through
the mud Into an Irrigation canal.
Two shot from Dick's rifle finished
ttie beast, end it being now dark

This morning Frank S r h u 1 e r
hrnueht the dead brar to the Sa
kralria ranch, where It is on view to
day. The bear was an exceptionally
large one. but very thin, having
either Just emerged from hiberna

Its native hills.

valley In some time, and it is be
