40 DIE, 150 HURT
Naples,
Dec. 30. () At
least 40
persons were killed
and 150 injured today when an
express train crashed into the
rear of a troop train at the
Toore Annunziata station, lb
miles south of here.
Rescuers searched the wreck
age for more bodies.
The fast passenger train
plunged into the rear of the
train carrying soldiers, which
was standing on a siding at the
station.
The passenger train had the
right of way, investigators said,
and was to have passed, but a
switch apparently failed to
function.
ClS ml :
The express plunged onto the
siding and ploughed into the
cars, full of troops, including
high ranking officers.
Two inches of snow and in
tense cold hampered rescue
work.
iuiornuDiics, irucits euu iiutae
drawn carriages were pressed
into service to transport the in
jured to Torre Annunziata hos
pital. Some of the injured were
brought to Naples.
Both trains were coming from
Calabria in southern Italy.

CROP PRODUCTION
FOR OREGON NEAR
NORMAL IN 1939!
Portland, Dec. 30. i.Ti The
1939 combined production of
Oregon's principal field crops
was about average, the U. S.
department of agriculture re
ported today.
The acreage harvested was
198.000 acres less than 1938 but
better than average yields in
eastern and western Oregon
nearly made up the difference.
An acreage decrease cut
wheat production 16,818.000
bushels, or 28 per cent. Corn
production was up 19 per cent.
In many cases oats and bar
ley were planted in place of
wheat. The 1 1.725,000-bushel
oats crop was a near-record,
while the 5,222,000-bushel bar
ley crop was double the average.
Potato acreage increased 5
per cent but short yields in
Klamath, Crook and Deschutes
counties cut the crop 7 per ccntj
below 1938. The western Ore
gon yield was greater.
Except Jor grapes and com
mercial apples, the 1939 fruit
crops exceeded the average.
Pear production was about 40
per cent above the 10-year av
erage, but commercial apple
production, totaling 2,000,000
bushels, was the lowest since
By HALE WHEELER
WELL, here we are (need with
another whole year and It's
InterpBtln? to Imagine what may
happen before 1041 rolls around.
1030 was made up of abotit as
tough a crop of days as you'd care
to overlook. Everybody was pick
ing on everybody else. Half the
world wanted land, liberty, pen
sions, privileges, money, power
and the other half was dead set
against them getting It. Let's
hope that the affairs of the com
ing year show more fusion and
less confusion. I suppose by now
we've all made our resolutions,
but they don't mean a thing
unless we try to keep them every
day In the year. What this coun
try needs Is a good, non-brenk-able
resolution.
Wo sincerely hope that all of
our friends and patrons have a
Happy New Year. As soon as the
Holiday celebrations are over you
will want' your evening clothes
cleaned and the spots removed In
our modern plant. We can clean
your most delicate evening gowns
and return them looking their
best. Phone 06 ask for Hale

export outlook, a lurge portion
of the apple crop was diverted.
Although acreage was less,

43 per cent above average.
Grapes were below average.
