PJflE FIVE EOF IN BARTLETT DEALj Post $25 Price While Watch ing for Fresh Fruit Mar ket Break, Firm Says Eastern Figures High Livestock California cannon are again play lag the old game of waiting In the hope of purchasing Bartlett pears at bargain prices. It la stated In a bul letin Issued today by American Fruit Growers, Inc. "Canners Insist they can't pay more than $35 a ton. which contention to us seems ridiculous In view of the fact that the 1936 canned surplus has been liquidated" the bulletin states. "With the Increased buying power over the country, it seems to us that a better price could be of fered by canners." In the Sacramento river district, canners have hiked the price to 30 a ton. with few takers, packing house executives here aald. One block of 500 tons, however, was reported sold at this figure, the quotations being for No. l'a. Boost Encouragtng. ' Medford shippers were encouraged by the Increase to $30 for Sacramento Bartletts. believing that this Indi cates an exhaustion of the Santa Clara supply which threatened to es tablish the market at 925. There la a feeling here that the canneries will have to make an addi tional boost to fill their California quota. The canneries are reported to have bought about 40.000 tons In the Santa Clara area and plan to buy 50.000 to 60,000 . additional tons In the three remaining California districts, Sacramento valley. Lake county and Placervllle. Any resistance ofered to the can series' quotations in California would be reflected In the prices posted when they enter the Rogue river valley, shippers pointed out. Last year the canneries bought about 13.000 torm here and It was thought a better price than the current quotations could be procured this season. $25 Posted In Yakima. ' 1 Nevertheless, the canners have been buying Santa Clara Bartletts for $25 a ton and have been offering Yaki ma growers the same price, with a guarantee of 75 percent of any rise In the market, according to the Amer ican Fruit Growers' bulletin. "It Is reported that quite a few Yakima growers are responding to this deal and quite a tonnage has already been sold to canners," the bulletin says. It Is stated that the eastern mar ket price on fresh pack California Bartletts on the first week's ship merits was around $4 to $5 a box delivered. With allowances for dif ferentials, an. eastern price of $5 a box would probate about $150 a ton here. When daily shipments Increased substantially, the eastern price eased down to $3 a box and today ranges between $2.75 and $3. the bulletin says. An eastern boxed price of $3.75 to $3 Is the equivalent of about $50 to $60 a ton here. Waiting for Break. "If the eastern market on Cali fornia Bartletts should from now on break badly, the canners no doubt expect growers to run for cover even at the $25 price," the bulletin avers "If this break should fall to ma terialize, however. It's rather certain that the canners caught short on supplies would be forced to pay more. In short. It's the same old watting game the canners are playing." So far as the fresh fruit market for late poar varieties Is concerneo , the prospects are considered bright. The Oregon - Washington - California Fear Bureau, augmented for the first time this year by California member ship, Is planning to spend $50,000 to $60,000 on Its advertising, promotion and educational campaign, this be ing the largest budget in its history. It Is calculated that about 65 percent of the late California pear tonnage Is represented !n the bureau. Portland. PORTLAND, July 39.

" PRICE BOOST FACING Attorney Advises State Body Watch Purse Strings in Acquiring Highway Rights of Way Baldock .Retorts PORTLAND, July 09. (fP) J. M. Deavera, attorney for the highway commission, warned the commission ers and the engineering department today to take cognisance of the ris ing price in right-of-way values In adopting road locations. He said property owners are now looking toward the state as a pros pective buyer and are no longer sym pathetic. 'I am offering you something to think About and not attempting to define a policy." he continued in his general recommendation the commis sion watch its pursw strings in ac quiring land. The suggestion tirought a retort from R. H. Baldock, engineer, that property rights and their costs are alwaya considered in establishing highway routes. Thorough Investiga tion. Is always made, especially In connection with city property, he said. "There are countless monuments In the state" showing where rights of way have been given prime considera tion, he added, "and the routes are no good." There are more commission 'bulls' than engineering" In acquiring the rights, Baldock said. He remarked that If right-of-way costs blocked action, new roads In the state would still be full of kinks. "I'm not In favor of saving right- of-way costs at the expense of road standards," said Chairman Henry P. Cabell. The chairman said the com mission would endeavor not to let the expense of property acqusltlon get out of line. Engineers received instructions to investigate the report of damaging slides on the Roberts property along the Siskiyou route In Jackson county. The owners complained road construc tion had resulted In considerable damage to a house and about 10 acres of land. The extent will be determined and a claim probably authorized.

BIU Ahead The court bill to which Rayburn re ferred is awaiting senate action be hind two other measures the wage hour bill and the Wagner housing bill. Administration leaders apparently wanted to get the housing bill out of the way before the court measure ln order to keep it from being left un acted upon in the rush for adjourn ment which may develop once the court issue Is finally disposed of. The senate met an hour early to day ln an attempt to complete ac tion on the wage -hour bill before nightfall. Mr. Roosevelt was scheduled to meet this afternoon with congress men interested ln driving through sugar legislation. Senator Austin (R.-Vt.) opened the attack on the wwte-hour measure to day. Re argued all phases of the na tion's economic life would suffer un der It. He said It would set up "a statutory monopoly of the right of labor to work." "No laborer In America." he told the senate, "should be so far de graded that he must submtt to a su preme authority ln Washington the question of how many hours he may work. .LOVE ABLE TO Mrs. Roy Love, surgical nurse, who was struck In the head and Injured when bit by an empty whiskey flask, hurled by Harvey E.

The suggestion that Far ouk should be crowned with the 3000-year-old diadem of Tut-Ankn-Amen had been overruled because the actual crowning of a king la not ln accord with Islamlo law. Parouk is the first Invested king of Egypt. His father. Faud, the First, hsd changed the title from the tra ditional one of sultan to king. Glory Reborn. The glory of ancient Egypt of the pharaohs seemed reborn In Cairo and the magnificent Magi Is and Nuwwab (parliament building) when the youthful monarch slowly Intoned the words that consecrated him to the kingship and brought him to the full Inheritance of 60 centuries of tradition. Unprecedented thousands Jammed Cairo's streets, heedless of the scorch ing heat, before and after the in vestiture. They were Jammed along the two-mile processional route from Ibin palace to the parliament build ing. Balconies, windows and roofs were bright with thousands of red feezes. Burly Egyptian infantrymen held back the cheering crowds while Far ouk ln the full dress uniform of a field marshal, rode by In his gilded stage coach. I Fires Controlled.
