Chicago Produce Market
Chicago. June pap,

SulCdSO, June Z5.-tAfJ.
Increasing receipts of winter wheat
together with favorable conditions for
the new spring crop led to a sharp
downturn in breadstuff prices today.
On some transactions there was an
extreme decline of SAC a bushel on
market closed heavy to 4sc net low
er, July 1.44a to Lash and September
LAP to 1.423, with corn IL to 81 down,
oats IL to &c off. and provisions vary
ing. from unchanged figures to set
back of Csc.
Arrivals Of new wheat today totafled
more than 500 carloads at four Kan
sas interior markets alone Other re-
ports indicated also that new wheat
was moving freely in the southwest.
as result of such reports was greatly
emphasized by knowledge that the
United States visible supply yet to-
tailed more than 100000 bushels of
wheat today at the end of the old crop
season, and that the carryover into
100000, decided contrast with the
scarcity which some time ago was
looked for. AS against this showing
announcement that the domestic visi-
BILE supply had decreased 1.ssS,000
bushels in the last week had virtually
no influence on the market.
Selling out on the part of holders
of wheat was given further impetus
by the fact that ideal weather contin-
ued in the northwest and that fears of
any big damage from black rust this
season were being made light of. I'm
der such circumstances about the only
support for the market came from pre-
vious sellers who were in a position
to collect profit. Meanwhile export
business today was moderate, notwith-
standing that supplies on ocean pas
sage are 11,600,000 bushels less than
was the case a year ago.
Corn and oats were carried down by
sympathy with wheat weakness Corn
went below a dollar bushel for both
July and September delivery.
Provisions reflected the decline of
grain and of hogs as well.

MANY CHANGES
IN 125 YEARS

1t was nearly 125 years ago that
the first effort was made to form
village at the natural falls in the
beautiful Kennebec, called by the
Indians, Skoohegan. The territory
was then a part of Canaan, later set
off and named Milburn and finally
reverted to the Indian name, Show
hogan.
1t does not take a vivid imagina-
ton to think of those early in
habitants going out with their
muskets on Christmas morning to
shoot their holiday dinner. Perhaps
it was moose, deer, bear or any of
the wild life with which the forests
were teeming at that time. What
ever was turned over to the house
wife, was we'll cooked and as heartily
enjoyed as the bountiful course din
ner which one will enjoy today.
One might fancy this good man
and his familysas guests for a few
hours. One might take them in his
closed car for drive about the
modern Skowhegan in which all take
so much pride, show them the i'm
posing public buildings, the wonder
fully decorated stores filed with
wealth. Oh tHlHSS UeyOiIu luelT lioSl

evening and then home to the

comforts which seem so necessary to
to everyone's happiness. And as
one pictures the growth and pros
perity of Skowhegan through the
eyes of his fanciful guests, who did
their small part to make this pos
sible, it should be everyone's pledge
on this gladstone day to do his part
toward making Skowhegan bigger,
better and buster town.

Once Fertile Valley
Nav Become Desert

Bishop, Cal, Dec. 23.--(AP)-Owens
Valley. Graded on the eastern slope
of the high Sierras, once fertile.
productive region where cattle roamed
its grassy floor and fruits and grains
grew in abundance, is threatened with
return to the desert wastes from
which hardy pioneers reclaimed 1t
more than half century ago.
Water, the perennial point of con-
troversy in the West, formerly flowed
through Owens Valley between the
banks Of the Owens river and into
canals and bitches dug by the early
settlers to irrigate the fields and or
chards. Now it has been diverted in
70 the Los Angeles aqueduct to supply
''e needs of the city, 225 miles south
ward.
Citizens Of the valley declare the
ty used arbitrary methods to get the
water, when. in 1905, an agent, al
legged to have been disguised as a fed
eral official, entered the region and
made filings along the Owens river for
some 40 miles. His filings included
storage rights which the valley people
had given back to the government in
exchange for what they understood to
be project to reclaim 100000 acres of
the desert stretches.
The agent. they say, later proved to
be employed by the city of Los An
geles Instead of the reclamation pro-
ject. the city announced plans to build
an aqueduct and carry the water
southwark.
During the four years of drought
that followed the first land acquisition,
the city negotiated with ranchers for
rights along canals and bitches, and
soon obtained virtual control of one
of the larger canal systems. It's wat
ers were diverted into the aqueduct,
leaving adjoining ranches arid.
Resentment, generated through the
years, found climax the night of
May 81. 1924, when 40 or so raiders
dynamited the hugs concrete head
gates, near the first large reservoir at
Haiwee. No arrests were made, how
ever. and the explosive, deftly placed.
failed to damage the aqueduct mate
rally. Investigators believed it an act
of warning rather than a move to
cripple the water system.
Late in November the same year an
open demonstration of protest was
made when the scores Of the ranchers
seized the Alabama waste gates, 60
miles south of Bishop. and opened
9them. allowing the stream to flow into
the parched bed Of the Owens river.
The valley is approximately 100
miles long and varies in width from
I'VE to fifteen miles. 1T has a popu'a-

Return to Old Basis

Examination Of the registration
records at the Office Of the town clerk
shows that 225 have changed their
enollment to Republicans and none
to Democrat. This would indicate
an exceptionally large Republican
vote in the next primaries: In the

votes out OF a possible 2426: the

abnormal change of enrolment. it
seems to be the general orinion that
general politics are returning to the
