The Markets


The demand for grain of all kinds
is weak, and for wheat practically none
at ALL Bids of so cents are made for
new crop, but growers and dealers are
alike waiting to see the results of the
next month. The wheat crop is prac-
tically made, but still there is chance
for trouble, and until this enanee has
been eliminated there will be nothing
doing. Indications are for a world s
bumper crop, and this means lower
prices. There is little doing in hops
locally, and today hop growers and
dealers from all the hop-growing dis
tricts are at Aurora, attending the
meeting there. Cables from the con-
tinent and England show lice have at
tackled the vines and are doing much
damage. Prices are stiffening on this
account.
The arrival of three cars of canta-
loupes at Portland on top of an already
loaded market sent prices down from
$4 to $3.50. Strawberry receipts fell
off ON account of the weather and
prices are a trifle better. The season
is about over, however, and the red
raspberries are taking their place.
Poultry receipts are heavier, especial
ly hens. The egg season is drawing to
a close and they are quoted at % to
23 cents. Dairy products are unchang,
ed and hogs are lower with a CORE
spending lowering of prices for dress
ID meats. From the east comes the
cheering news that business generally
is improving.

years ago and since ;1en has been n

ever, for perjuring himself in his ap-
plication for naturalization papers. He
testified at his citizenship hearing that
he had never been implicated in any
crime. The United States district at
torney learned that he had murdered
in Italy and had served q prison sent
ence for the offense.

Bressi on his way TO the penitentiary.

AUTO PUMPER is A
BANG-IJP MACHINE
Can Develop 101 Horsepower Go 60
Miles Per Hour, and Throw 700 Gal
Ions of Water Per Minute.

Salem fire laddies are proud as a
mother hen with dozen chicks now
that the new auto pumper has arrived
and standing in the central station.
They have reason to be proud, too, in
view of the fact that the new machine
is the finest the department has ever
owned.
The new pumper can develop a l0l
horsepower. 1t is finished in every de-
tail and is capable of travelling at a
speed of 60 miles an hour. At l20.
pound pressure, the machine can throw
700 gallons of water minute from
three lines of hose and can throw 900
gallons with ease under greater pres.
sure. The city will pay $4,000 for the
gas wagon.
The color scheme of the new machine
is about the same as that of the chem
ical auto. 1t is equipped with an elec.
tric self-starter, powerful head lights
and reversible searchlight. The en-.
gine mas six cylinders and is construct.
ed on the most modern lines.
1t will probably be two or three
weeks before an official test will be
made of the pumper, and after that
part of the program has been gone
through with the machine will 90 into

PRISONER REFUSES TO
EAT; MAY BE INSANE
Man Is Afraid Food VIII burn Him
Up-Says Mysterious Person Tried to
Set Fire to His Bed.

Acting upon the advice of mys
terious man whom he claims follows
him around, II. II. Gilman, a prisoner
in the county Jail awaiting trial on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, refuses to eat his meals for
fear they will burn him up, according
to his own statement. Gilman was
captured in Ashland and brought acre
by Deputy Sheriff W. L. Needham, aft
er passing spurious check on the
Hotel Marion of this city for $40. Gill
man continued his trip down the val
ley passing worthless checks in each
town where he stopped at the best ho-
tells and was not captured until he had
reached Ashland. H., is also wanted in
Portland on similar charges, and from
the methods pursued by him the au-
thorities believe he is an experienced
confidence man.
He was placed in the Marion county
Jail few weeks ago, but never attack
ed the Jail fare with the evidity of
the other prisoners, who tried to per
suade him to eat. He was moody and
during the last few days he has eaten
nothing at all Mr.. Needham question
ed the prisoner tais morning after Gill
man had thrown chair across the
bathroom at the mysterious man and
broken some of the plumbing. Gilman
said that the man was in the room
and that few nights ago had tried
ITO set fire to his bed. Gilman was
questioned by doctor this morning,
and though the physician made no def
mite examination said tnat the man APP
peared to be insane.
However, Mr.. Needham is taking no
chances with the prisoner, who may be
attempting to work a clever ruse to
escape prosecution, and if he becomes
violent he may be committed to the
asylum, but in the meantime will re.
main in Jail awaiting trial ON several
charges.
