Tho only way IN which the po-
liticsl crisis Of the Near East bore
upon jDday's markets vas to bring
shout general lesssning Of activ-
ity, with diminishing price ductua-
lions.
!. The best evidence Of sentiment
in banking circles lay undoubtedly
In the action Of the foreign ex-
changes. Sterling was up nearly 3
cents from the low OF Monday and
French franco also were up slight
". This meant not only the re-
cnvery OF the entire loss at the
beginning Of the week when the
war scare was being actively ex-
plotted. hut 1t brought French ex-
/ change in particular almost back
: to the high Of week ago, before
the Turkish business began to be
noticed in the markets at all.
This recovery in the exchanges
was emphatic enough to show that
II the Turkish question had not
been dismissed entirely from cal
Ieculations, 1t had ceased to be look
ed upon with any serious appre-
hensiOn.
business on the stock exchange
was smaller, but there was no re-
newal Of selling. On the contrary,
the familiar operations for the rise
most of them inspired by specu-
lative pools-kept on, Some short
covering came into the leaders OF
the list in the early part Of the day
but subsequently the general run
of stocks did little.

wholly by the specially movements

was interesting to note the way tn

Stocks of the two most repre-

What's New on The Market
BY REX STEWART

Within the next two weeks the
housewife should know whether or
not she is going to pay less for her
beef and other meats. Retail
prices have changed little since
they reached their peak last win
ter and II is reasonable to expect
a drop during the summer.
Prices on new potatoes ought to
be coming down also. A good big
profit Is made by the retailer at
this time on the present wholesale
price OF Y and cents a pound.
The retail price in some stores is
three pounds for a quarter. This
price ought TO be considerably re-
duced by the middle of the week.
Strawberries were quoted at
s1.5O a crate. retail this morning.
with the growers receiving $1.25
from some stores. other stores had
their prices up to S1.75 and s2.00.
II is believed that the price viii go
ap because OF the operations OF the
ranneries this week.

The Wahner car turned com
pletely over and landed upside

II was driven by the injured WON

According to witnesses the car
driven by Roster essayed to pass

marion COUNTY
BRANCH OF FARM
BUREAU FORMED

The Marion county branch of
the oregon State Farm Bureau
was organized last Saturday at
the Commercial club rooms. The
following officers were elected:
President, Sidney Miller Of Wood
burn; vice-president, Charles Hot
finger OF Stayton; secretary-treas-
urer, H. G. King Of Salem, route

Several months ago considerable
canvassing was done with the re-
suit that when the meeting to or
ganize was held over $50 persons
were represented.
The representative from the
various districts were:
District No. /, AuroraZE: E.
Bradtl, president; G. w. Atwood,
delegate; 20 members.
District No. q, Donald-F. Per-
kett, president; F. L. Matthews,

dore Minton, president; Charles
Nottinger delegate; 100 members.
Plans for a purchasing agent
will be definitely made at the next
meeting OF the organization. Most
counties have farm agent acting
as purchasing agent but as Mar
ion county has no such officer
some other plan will have to be
devised.
Until the present officers feel
satisfied with the finances each
attending member must pay his
own expense to and from the
meetings. 1t was thought best to
do this in order not to start in
debt.
The delegates from the local
branch who are to attend the state
convention to be held next winter
are: j. E. Smith of st. Paul and
Sidney Miller of Woodburn, presi-
dent of the local branch.

DISSOLUTION Of
Joint RAILWAY
OWNERSHIP HIT

Dissolution OF the common
ownership OF the Southern Pacific
and Central Pacific lines, as pro-
Tfded for under the recent opfn-I
ion OF the United States supreme
court. will work an extreme hard
ship upon western Oregon as well
as upon all of the Pacific coast
states, according TO H. II. Corey,
member OF the Oregon public serg-
ice commission. Corey will rep
resent the Oregon commission at
meeting Of public service commits
sioners from oregon, Utah, Neya-
da, California, washington and
Texas at San Francisco on June 10
when plans will be made for pre-
venting the dissolution.
1.-THE lines OF the Southern Pa
cific in Oregon are separated
from those in California, the Cen
tral Pacific owning considerable
portion of the main line south OF
Ashland" Corey declares In a
statement issued today pointing
out that the proposed dissolution
would completely isolate the Ore
gon lines of the Southern Pacific
company and convert them yir-
tually into branch line roads,
leaving Oregon with but one
transcontinental railroad system.
: There will be II or possibly
more new junction points as be-
tween railroads OF independent
operation and tolls accordingly.
Thousands of new joint rates will
replace the single rates of the one
system now In effect. Train serv-
ice, freight and passenger, con-
fined to the rails OF one owner
ship, as competitive measures,
will result in disruption of the
present service to large degree
Roundabout routes will replace
direct routes. Wmsre communities
now enjoy two routes they will
have only one, in many instances
Should the Central Pacific be
separated from the Southern Pa
eific and operated by another com
pany 1t would destroy the through
line now existing between Ogden,
Utah, and Portland and western
Oregon, as well as the through
line between Texas, Portland and
intermediate territory"
Without the Central Pacific
lines 1t would be necessary for the
Southern Pacific to route business
from this territory to the middle
west and north central states
through California, Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas or else accept a
very small revenue for its haul
to a connection with the Central
Pacific at the Oregon state line.
Separation of the two lines,
Corey further points out, would
result in great financial loss to
western Oregon for the reason
that the Southern Pacific now
purchases in this state between
$s.000,o0O and $7.OOO,00O worth
of lumber annually which busi-
ness would go elsewhere under the
. necessity of paying freight to
competing line. The Central Pa
cific, on the other hand, would be
under the necessity Of securing its
lumber supplies from California
points.
Corey also points out the possi-
bility that the Natron- klamath
Falls-W Westwood cutoff would not
be built by the Central Pacific un-
der the new order, the revenues
from the curtailed territory not
tustifying such abandonment.

UCH|DA HOLDS
PLACE AT HEAD
OF Jap CABINET

Toxic, June -.-(By Associ-
ated Press. Yiscount Yasuya
Uchida will remain Japan's for
eign minister under the new cab
met Of Premier Kato, 1t was learn
ed authoritatively today. Baron
shidehara, the ambassador TO
Washington. who had been men
toned for the portfolio OF foreign
affairs, will be unable to accept
such a post because Of his health,
it is understood. A long rest is
held imperative for Baron Shide-
hara, who at present is here on
long leave OF absence from his du-
ties at Washington.
Foreign Minister Uchida, in an
interview, said the premiership OF
Admiral Kato should be welcomed
by all the powers interested In
China, as the cabinet would pre-
serve the spirit OF the agreements
reached at the Washington arms
conference, which would be ratf-
fled soon.
The formation of Kato's non
party ministry was denied today
by a majority of the vernacular
papers as "a disregard of the con-
stitution and of public opinion. :
The Seiyukai, the majority party
Of the diet, was attacked for sup
porting such a cabinet.
The Kenseikai, the opposition
party, was reported to have start
ed a national campaign for the
protection of the constitution"

Ocean voyagers.

The writer Of the daily literary
causerie in the New York Evening
Post has had the curiosity to explore
the collections Of books provided by
a steamship for the use of her passen-
gers. He has always had the theory.
he says. that in these large and lux
urious vessels the second-class library
would be likely to be more In line with
his own tastes than the first.class
library. and his visit to the boat has
confirmed this superstition. In the
second class, for instance. there were
more demonstrating Treasure
Island" which was not In the first
class collection. He noticed also In
the second-class, but not in the first,
some Charlotte Bronte, Wordsworth.
Tennyson and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
In reply to the question what kind OF
books the readers asked for most, the
library steward In the first class an
swered without hesitation: Ninety
per cent want detective stories" The
library steward In the second class, on
the other hand said that, among the
passengers he had to do with, love
stories were most In demand.
