STOCK PRICES
SLIP LOWER IN
FRIDAY TRADE
' Br VICTOR EUBANK
NEW YORK, June 18 (TP)
Buyers did a little shadow box
ing in today's stock market but
results were unimpressive and
leaders generally slipped to mod
erately lower levels in another
one of the slowest sessions of
, the year.
Declines of fractions were
widespread near the close. Vol
ume was around 700,000 shares.
A special offering of 19,000
shares of commercial investment
trust at 411 was quickly ab
sorbed but the stock backed
away in subsequent regular deal
ings. Childs Co. shares and bonds
weakened when a petition for
reorganization of the company
was filed by creditors. Common
wealth & Southern common
came out' on one .20,700 share
block, off 116 at I. .
In arrears the greater part of
the time were Southern Pacific,
N. Y. Central, U. S. Steel, Beth
lehem, General Motors, Good
year, American Telephone,
Philip Morris, Douglas Aircraft,
Montgomery Ward and General
Electric. Resistant was displayed
by Hudson & Manhattan com
mon and preferred, Santa Fe,
Anaconda, International Har
vester, Allied Stores, Standard
Oil Oil), Texas Co. and West
inghouse. Rail bonds enjoyed a spotty
advance.

GRANGE RESOLVES
YAKIMA, Wash., June 18 (VP)
The Washington State grange in
convention here resolved yester
day to urge the government to,
keep Japanese in relocation cen

CHICAGO, June 18 (IP)
Grains moved within a narrow
range today, but managed to dis
play a firm undertone in an ex
tremely quiet market. At one
time wheat was up almost a
cent, but selling later in the ses
sion cancelled much of this gain.
Oats and rye were ahead small
fractions most of the day.
There was an absence of news
to influence price trends. Crop
reports continued relatively fa
vorable, causing some covering
by traders who had previously
gone short. The general disposi
tion of most grain men, however,
was to adopt a waiting attitude
toward the market.
At the close wheat was 1-1
higher, July $1,431, September
$1.43 1-i, corn was unchanged
at ceilings, July $1.05, oats were
up 1-1 and rye was ahead 1-i.

ture slnco October 6, 1942.

By Methodists
PORTLAND, Juno 18 (.1') Re
peal of tho oriental exclusion act

tion the hope that after the war
"all orientals may be placed up
on the same (immigration) basis
as people from other sections of

general conference delegate;

tional conference delegate with
ur. w. H. Pollard, Springfield,

bany, alternates.

Walls of Ancient Hotel
Yield Strange Skeletons
PORTLAND, Juno 18 (IP)
Tho skeletons (figurative) in the
walls of the old Glcnwood hotel
make the work of tearing down
tho old Tha Dalles lnndmnrk ex
tremely interesting, E. C, Kru
gor, Salem contractor, engaged
in tho work, declared hero lust
night.
The old building, owned by
Wasco county, was condemned.
Krugcr wus tho only man to bid
on tho wrecking Job. -
In ono wall Krugcr found a
series of secret shelves "prob
ably used to hide whisky in pro
hibition days." In another wall
ho found a marijuana cache.
Other odd gleanings from the
walls of tho miciont building in
cluded a minor's cundla holder.
"Don't ask me how it got
there," he commented.
Under an old carpet Krugcr
turned up a purse containing two
railroad pay checks issued to
Juan Diaz in 1931, one for
$27.20 and one for $27.25. "I
found out Diaz did not occupy
tho room so I suppose the
checks were stolen by a thief
who was afraid to cosh them,"
said Kruger.
Lumber from the building,
erected in 1872, brings about $25
to $40 a thousand feet, Kruger
said, and "folks are grubbing
everything I salvage. There were
about 100 windows. All of them
have been spokon for. Heavy
stuff down below sometimes
runs 30 feet in length without a
knot in it. It is just as sound as
when it was installed in 1872."
Kruger said water marks made
in the 1984 Columbia river
flood were still vlslblo on parts
of tho building.
"I think Tho Dalles must ill
ways have hud a goad f Iro de
partment," Krugcr observed.
"Apparently thera had boon a
flro in every other room In tho
building. Why tho wholo pluro
didn't burn is a mystery to mq.
"There wore soven roofs on
the building. Layers of nails
were so closo that snino of tho
upper ones glanced off the lower.
Ilnvo to peel tho roof In sec
tions." Kruger was on hunting trip
In The Dalles vicinity when he
learned tho old hotel had been
condemned and bid on tho Job.
"My help quit to go cherry
picking now I'm alono on tho
Job."
About 75 per cent of the
earth's surface remains unex
plored the port that Is covered
by water.
