Extensive Remodeling Planned On Tucker Properties, Newly Purchased by Wealthy Hawaiian Plans for extensive remodel ing of the ranch properties of the late Nion Tucker on the upper Rogue river were learned here last week. They will be un dertaken by the new owner, who purchased the properties last month from the Tucker estate. George Murphy, owner and operator of the largest automo ble dealership in the Hawaiian islands, obtained some 1,400 acres, including 3V& miles of river frontage, in the transac tions. The size of the considera tion was not reported here, but a Honolulu newspaper said It exceeds $125,000.

There is a small herd of registered Hereford cattle on the ranch, and Murphy plans to expand the number of pure bred cattle. John Taylor, who has lived in the area all his life, has been named general superintend ent of the ranch, and is now at work with a sizable crew of men, all employed directly from this area. Will Spend Time Here It is understood that Murphy will spend a good deal of time on the ranch. He is president of Murphy Motors, Ltd., and Aloha Motors, both of Honolulu, and also has dealerships in the states. The two firms did a gross business in excess of $16,000,000 in 1951. Ray Coll Jr., a writer for the Honolulu Advertiser, recently did a story about Murphy. Part of it is as follows: "I think it worthy of note Retail Prices Up As Farm Prices Show New Decline Washington U.R) Retail food prices edged ahead during February and March, while farmers' prices fell for the third straight month, government re ports showed Saturday. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on the basis of an eight city , survey that retail food prices increased four-tenths of one per cent during the 20 days before March 15. The rise was led by a 6.2 per cent increase in. prices of fresh fruits and veget ables. , The rise brought the food in dex to 227.9 per cent of 1935-39 prices and 12.2 per cent above prices just before the Korean outbreak. J Wholesale Prices Down BLS reported, however, that wholesale prices of all commodi ties including fresh fruits and vegetables declined one-tenth of one per cent during the week ended March 25. The wholesale price index has dropped nearly three per cent since January to stand at 111.7 per cent of 1947 49 prices. The Agriculture Department reported meanwhile that farm prices fell on March 15 to the lowest point since December, 1950. Prices received by farm ers for their products from mid February to mid-March were three-tenths of one per cent be low the previous 30-day period. Don Lane To Attend Travel Show in L. A. Don Lane, secretary and man ager of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, left Sat urday for Los Angeles where he will attend the Los Angeles Sports and Travel show at the Pan-Pacific auditorium there. He is representing the Pacific North west Travel association, of which the chamber is a member. The Los Angeles show is one of seven in which the chamber participates through the PNTA, and this is the third year that Lane has represented Oregon at the show. Three other men from the 11 Pacific northwest states and Alberta, Canada, will also attend. Lane is taking some 20,000 pieces of literature about the Rogue valley to the event, and will also call on newspapers and chambers of commerce en route south. Among other activities, he will call on television pro ducers regarding the showing of Oregon films on TV networks. He will be gone about three , weeks. IN DUAL ROLE : Torrington, Conn. (U.R5 Po lice had a special reason for hop- j ing there would be no disturb ances on the picket line at the strike - bound Turner - Seymour Manufacturing Co. One of the pickets was the president of the local foundry workers' union, John J. Swift, who also Is police , commissioner. Murphy arrived In Honolulu stone broke. He had lost a for tune In the 1929 crash. Stepping ashore here, he went to work as a used car salesman. It wasn't long, however, before he organ ized his own company of Mur phy Motors and later absorbed Aloha Motors. Today he is the sole stockholder in the company . . . I don't think anyone will argue otherwise that George Murphy is the most successful individual automobile dealer in Honolulu." Valley Show Place The Flounce Rock ranch has long been one of the Rogue valley's show places. Mr. Tucker was for many years associated with the San Francisco Chroni cle, which was founded by the father of Mrs. Tucker. The Tuckers were hosts to famous people from all over the world on frequent occasions, and the lodge at "Rogue's Roost" was a familiar spot to many val ley residents who also visited there. It was not included in the sale. Pure bred cattle raising was also an avocation in which the Tuckers were interested. The sale of the property was handled here by the T. J. Hight realty office in cooperation with Earl Tumy, an administrator of the Tucker estate. fenJar, Merck M.
