Experts Bamboozled
Croivo Uay to Rogtio
Rogue River The experta
were bamboozled yesterday at
Rogue River when a plnt-tized
bantam rooster crowed his
way to the championship of
' the second National Rooster
Crowing contest with a record
shattering mark of 109 crows
in the 30-minute period. -
The previous - record was
held by "Hollering Harry,"
who crowed 71 times last May
23 In the first such contest.
"Harry" was also entered in
yesterday contest, but the
large Cornish Game rooster
could only manage to yawn
once during the contest and
was too aloof to even attempt
single crow. No excuse was
given by "Silent" Harry's own
ers, except that maybe he was
a "mudder" and liked the wet
weather of last spring's con
test. Packs Tain
The winner. "Beetlebaum,"
packed the crowd around his
cage as he averaged over three
crows a minute and noisily.

small daughters, killed last Oc
tober, near Chester,' Calif; after
he was robbed of $7,100.
Edmund Hanson, gold dealer,
Nevada City, Calif.
Brown arrested Santo's common-law
wife, Harriet Hanson,
yesterday on suspicion of the
Hanson murder. She was taken
into custody just after she testi
fied for the defense that Santo
was with her at her Auburn,
Calif., home March 10, the day
after the state charges Santo
helped kill Mrs. Monahan.
Brown said George Boles is
In custody at Sierra county jail,
charged with suspicion in the

The small white-ruffed ban
tam was entered by 10-year-old
Linda Lugenbeel, who won
top money of $100. Although,
the rooster emitted somewhat
: "squeaky" crows, he proved
that size is no valuation for a
champion crower.
A record crowd of near
1,000 persons milled about
Depot St., which was roped off
for a block on the occasion. A
total of 95 entries were in the
contest, 'topping last May's
contest by 20. Entries were as
far away as Oakland, Calif.,
and Portland.

Severe Shortages
Of Freight Cars
Said Developing
Portland (U.PJ A severe
freight car shortage has de
veloped In the past two weeks in
Southern Oregon, particularly
among the mills south of Eu
gene, it was reported here Saturday-
R. T. Titus, executive vice
president of the western forest
industries association, said he
h&d visited numerous operations
in the Willamette and Umpqua
valleys and they were "getting
only from half to less than one
third of the cars they need."
He said the shortage ap
peared most severe on the
Southern Pacific line and in
the southern part of the state
which is served only by that
railroad. Lumbermen expressed
fear the shortage might extend
for several weeks.
However, F. C. Nelson, dis
trict freight traffic manager for
the Southern Pacific, said ef
forts of the line over the long
labor day weekend should help
the situation next week. Nelson
said northern lines also are 'af
fected by the car shortage.
Nelson said the perennial
shortage has curtailed shipping
the entire length of western Ore
gon. He added that an ICC order
to the Southern Pacific to de
liver 25 cars a day to a northern
line was cancelled only a week
ago-
Titus did not indicate that any
mills were closing down because
of the shortage. t
He saw several reasons for the
shortage, including the heavy
use of cars for grain and canned
good movements.
