PORTLAND. Ore, June 9.-The
general fruit situation in Oregon at
the present Time seems to indicate for
the 1929 crop considerable reduc-
ton in apples and some increase in
pears as, compared with 1921, accord

bureau of markets and crop estimates
ot the department of agriculture. is
a review Just issued
The prune crop promises big in-
crease over 1921. Peaches promise
about an average crop. Cherries will
probably be about the same as last
year, which was a year of light pro-
duction. Strawberries appear to be
fully up to the average except in
few localities where there was rather
severe frost damage. Loganberries in
dicate a considerable less yield per
acre. but the bearing acreage probably
will bring the total production close
to that of last year, Raspberrles and

DIVORCES GAINING
ON SINGLE GIRLS IN
RACE FOR HUSBANDS

SACRAMENTO, June 9.-Widows
and grass widows are rapidly gaining
ground on the single girls of Cali
fornia in the race to the marriage
altar, according to statistics made
public today by L. e. Ross, chief of
the state bureau of vital statistics
of the board of health. .
OF especial significance is the fact
that divorces are far outdistancing
Atheir widow rivals and are steadily
creeping up on the single contend
ers in the marriage mart.
During the last two years rs per
cent of all persons marrying were
single, Ills per cent were widowed
and 1876 per cent were divorced.
Fifteen years ago the percentage of
single was IS, widowed . and di-
corced 6. Remarriage by divorces
has made rapid, consistent gains
year after year. Ross's report states.
Ross's report in this respect reads
as follows:
"a study of the marriage statis
tics indicates that there is gradual,
steady change in the proportions of
single, widowed and divorced per-
sons marrying in California. The /

ground faster than the singles.

Wonders of Aviation Interest
l19.Year-Old Woman More
Than History.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.-(Corre-
spondenee of the Associated Press.)
A droning %airplane, cruising high
over Sugar Island, fulfilled the wish
that lay nearest the heart of Mrs.
John Whalen-christened W~ahsaya-O-
ge- ban -quet-a member of the Ojib-
way tribe Of Indians, who died recently
at her home on the island near here.
She was reputed to be 119 years old.
Mrs. Wbalen had never been more
than 100 miles from home, and she
died within q stones throw of the spot
where she was born.
One day last summer, a seaplane on
it's way from lower Michigan to Batch
ewana bay, winged it's way almost di-
rectly above her lodge.
Children playing outside, called her
attention to it. and with many exclama-
tons of pleasure, the aged Ojibway
watched the craft until it had disap-
peared in the distance. This was her
topic of conversation for days, although
her auditors were far more interested
when Mrs. Whalen would relate great
tales of the early days in Michigan;
the bloody tribal conflicts; and all the
century old folklore.
She spoke of the walk In Water"
the first steamboat to appear on the
Great Lakes in 1918 and would tell of
the coming of the railroad, but all these
things to her mind were trivial com
pared with the wonders of the air.

PLAY DISARMS
CRITICS here
"Abie's Irish Rose" Is High
Class Comedy, Splendidly
Portrayed.

"Abie's Irish Rose" is a play to dis
arm a critic completely. So full of
laughs is it, and balanced with just
enough little choky places where the
heart goes out in sympathy, that too
many good things cacsot be said for
this latest offering o. Morosco's. 1t
opened Tuesday night at the Grand.
A synopsis of the plot is not appeal
ing. 1t would not seem possible to
mix a water and oil combination Of an
orthodox Jewish family with an Irish
tasteful result. Yet Anna Nichols
makes just such a mixture for MoroscO
and energies nobly with as happy a fl
nal curtain as eve dropped.
"Abie's Irish Rose" is a thoroughly
irresistible and very human piece, n
under all the laughs and the bits Of pa
thOs the author weaves a serious theme
which can be spelled, t-o-le-r-a-n-c-e-
tolerance of creed and race. This theme
is never insistent, yet it is woven ire
futably into the unfolding plot.

REEDER DENIES
SALE OF CLIP:

Craig Sheep Man Says He Is
Loyal to Organization of
Which He Is Officer.

In a statement to The Tribune Tues
day night. George Reeder of Craig,
denied that his wool clip had been sold
in the Helena pool and said that re-
ports to that effect were being c~irculat-
ed TO discredit his attitude toward the
National Wool Warehouse and Storage
company of Chicago, of which he is
q director.
The Tribune Tuesday morning quoted
Senator B. C. White of Buffalo, as
saying that he had been informed that
Mr.. Reeder had sold his clip in a pool
for Al 3-S cents ap ound. Mr.. Reeder
says that the person who informed
Senator White did so without knowing
the facts.
Mr.. Reeder says:
The Tribune of May - reports
that the Reeder clip had been sold at
Al 3-S cents. Permit me to say THAI
the Reeder clip is not sold. nor was
it included in the Helena pool. / hap
pen to be a director of the National
Wool Warehouse and Storage
OF Chicago, a wool selling agency
handling wool or a commission only.
A report of a sale of my wool here
naturally conveys the impression that
the National Wool Warehouse and
Storage company is discredited by it's
own officers.
Such is far from the facts and [ wish
to state that it is my intention to ship
to that company again this year. fully
believing that orderly marketing Of
wool as consumption demands is the
only true way to realize top market
values.
Growers do not seem to appreciate
that they are now making sales on a
rising market which in the nature Of
things canot be the full or final market

Farmers In Arms
Against T~respassing
Special to The Tibune.

Special to The Tibune.
Harlem, May 23.-Campers and
fishermen who have been in the habit
of angling in Clear creek in the Bear
Paw mountains are being warned by
the farmers living along that creek that
during the coming season no t%resspass-
ing will be allowed ON their places.
They state that owing to the depre-
dations that have been committed in
the past upon their properties they
must take this action. Thoughtless
campers and fishermen have cut their
fences and left gates open with the
result that stock strayed away and be-
come lost. They have also tramped
down their hay meadows and caused
other damage, which they refuse to
stand for any longer. The owners Of
the land, however, state that they will
permit responsible people to enter their
sion,
