SALES KEEP PACE
WITH AUTOPLANTS
Half Years Output Near
100000 as Demand
Improves Further.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
DETROIT, June 11.-Pursui the
production record of 1929, the motor
car industry will wind up the first six
months Of its biggest assembly year
since that time with total output
of 100000 passenger cars and
trucks.
During the first half Of 1929 the
assembly plants put together 1926, 900
units, but unlike the current situation
in the motor car market the end of
the first six months of that bizarre
year found producers and distributors
already beginning to worry about the
failure Of consumer demand TO keep
pace with factory output.
Some Behind in Deliveries.
AS the present Midsummer season
approaches the automobile industry
has not produced one more vehicle
than it can find a buyer for; in fact
some producing units still are behind
in deliveries, and the production
schedules for this month have been
reduced barely 10 per cent from the
approximately 100000 cars assembled
in May.
While the bulk Of the motor car
business continues to be accounted for
by the same volume producers who
specialize in the moderate price range,
the demand for cars in the higher
brackets is reported showing greater
strength this year than at any time
since the prosperous days of early
1929. Nevertheless, producers Of motor
cars generally continue to look for
the greatest expansion of their ac-
tivity to result from demand for We
hicles in the low and medium price
class.
Chevrolet Keeps Lead.
One of the direct results of the cur
rent trend in motor Car merchandis-
ing will be a somewhat different align
men of leadership in production this
year.
In the lower price bracket Chev-
rolet continues to head the field in as
semblies. with indications it will hold
this position throughout the year.
At the end of May Chevrolet had
assembled approximately COS, 900 units
since the beginning of the year. Ford
output for the same period totaled
roughly SOL 900.

A brilliant part of the three
fold celestial spectacle Of last
Thursday evening created great ex-
element here as residents OF this
section witnessed che OF the mosC
unusual forms of the aurora Dor
calls
Shortly after nine o'clock that
evening the conventional form -o1
the aurora was visible in the north
ern sky at this point, long shafts
of light shooting high into the hea-
vens, but as twilight had not yet
deepened into night, the colors were
pale and the shafts difficult to
discern.
At about ten o'clock a brilliant
beam of light, stretching from horl-
zon to horizon in an east to west
direction, was visible in the sky
For a time it was perfectly straight,
resembling a beam from an enor-
NOUS searchlight, but soon it began
to curve southwark from the cen
ter, giving the shaft the strange
appearance of bending at each end
and began to widen out IN the
center.
AS this change took place, the
beam took on more Of a resem-
blance to a white rainbow than to
a shaft of light, and soon began
to melt away It was visible for a
period of about forty minutes.
The aurora band was visible IN
the north until dawn, but there
were no more streamers or flashes
of light. The spectacle was visible
over the entire Pacific Northwest.
Across the world, the moon came
between the sun and the earth
bringing total darkness for several
minutes to the area from the Med
iterranean to the Sea OF Japan

Aurora Boreahs Prouides Shou Here;
Others WatcbNew Star, Sun Eclipse

Many scientific expeditions made
observations of the phenomenon,
hoping to add material to mans
knowledge in several important
scientific fields.
And another celestial phenome-
non, unobserved by laymen, thrilled
astronomers as colossal discovery
that the speed of light is not the
fastest thing in the universe seemed
to result from the discovery OF
new exploding star in the milky
way.
A heavy increase in cosn1lc ray
activity from the polar region OF
the milky way some four weeks
ago prompted a Dutch cosn1ic ray
student to predict the discovery OF
a new star. Not until last week was
the star visible, being discovered at
this time by an amateur astronmer
in Ohio, indicating that the cosm1c
rays had won a 2,0O0year race with
the light rays by margin of four
weeks.
Whether the aurora borealis was
in any way related to either OF the
other phenomena is a matter OF
conjecture, since the cause OF this
well-known spectacle has never
been fully explained The weird
flashes of light are thought to be
due probably to electrical dis
charges, the beams of the aurora
being virtually parallel to the free
magnetic needle.
The frequency Of the aurora is
supposed to be variable, with a
period of about eleven year, almost
exactly with that of the frequency
IF SIN spots. For this reason, it is
claimed that some connection exists
between the two.

Mercury Rises AS
Summer Arrives

June 21st, officially the first day
of summer and the longest day OF
the wear, was more notable here
this year as the beginning OF an
other heat wave. of short duration.
The mercury climbed to reading
of 81 degrees at the Hanford Wea-
Their station that day, but reached
it's highest point Monday, when
temperature of 107 degrees was re-
corded.
Cloudy skies Tuesday marked a
break in the hot spell, but on We'd
nesday the temperature began to
climb once more, reaching 81 de-
degrees today.
The hot spell had little effect on
the Columbia river, which had
reached it seasonal peak on June
q, when stage of $3.50 feet was
recorded at Coyote Rapids. This Is
one of the earliest dates in recent
wears on which the river has
reached the peak stage, which Is
normally recorded between the 18th
and Goth Of this month.
The peak, while not abnormallJ
high was over two feet above the
normal high water mark and about
three feet below the 1888 peak, thu
highest in recent years.
The river today is at a level o:
$3.50 feet at Coyote Rapids, mark
ing a steady decline during the
past two weeks.

Shipping Cots
And Apples In
Carload Lots
NEED FOR PICKERs is ACUTE
AS FRUIT RIPENs
FAST

Growers were hard pressed this
week to get their apricots and
transparents picked as the hot Wea-
ther over the weekend gipened the
fruit much more rapidly than had
been expected. Picking of both var
ieties of fruit was well under way
Monday, carlot shipments OF apples
beginning Tuesday and of cots on
Wednesday,.
Orchard help was scarce as the
need for pickers became acute and
in some orchards the fruit was IN
danger of getting overripe. In Or
der to relieve the situation to some
extent, work on the community
hall was closed down for several
days and workmen on that project
released to work in the fields.
The first carlot shipment OF cots
was sent out Wednesday by F. =.
Meek, local representative of the
Pacific Fruit and Produce company
This firm had previously made a
shipment Of 900 boxes by express
Tuesday and expects to make carlot
shipments each day from now Until
the close Of the harvest. Meek mas
purchased nearly all of the cots IN
the White Bluffs district and some
from the up-river district at price
which nets the growers about sol
a ton for Moorparks and $40 a tor
for Tiltons.
Local transparent growers have
pooled their entire crop, amounting
to about eight or ten cars, and have
sold them to the White BUTTS
Warehouse. The first carlot ship
ment of the fruit was sent out by
the warehouse Tuesday. Shipments
will continue at the rate Of abou
one car a day until the harVes
is cleaned up.
Local growere received $45 per TOT
for transparents delivered this Weel
and $40 per ton on the rest OF tn
crop. Prices are rather shaky II
other districts, however, report
from Yakima stating that the de
mand is very light and that som
cash buyers are refusing to tax
them. Last season growers here re
ceived $50 per ton for the first ship
ments and $40 for the later picking

Seven Errors In One
Inning Costly To Locals

AS climax to a season OF games
filled with costly errors, Hanford-
White Bluffs booted the ball around
the field Sunday for a total OF II
errors, giving Toppenish a 1913
victory.
Hartman nearly won the game
single handed, turning in fine ex-
hibition of pitching, hitting home
run and fielding we'll, but his mates
errors were too numerous and gave
Toppenish eight or so unearned
runs.
The visitors ran in four scores
in the first inning on two errors
and several well-placed hits that
were too hot to handle. The locals
then frightened, holding the visitors
to but few hits and in the fifth
scored two runs Nearly every To-
cal batter was finding the range
of Mounger, Toppenish pitcher, and
it began to look as though they
could batter out a decisive win, but
in the eighth they committed no
less than seven errors in the field
to give Toppenish another set OF
four runs They retaliated in the
last half of the same inning to score
two runs and white down the
visitors lead, but in the ninth made
3 more errors, allowing four runs
and destroying all hopes of turning
in a win
The box score and summary may
be found on page 5.
Next Sunday, Prosser will meet
the locals on the Hanford diamond
in the last home game Of the sea-
son. Following this game the locals
will travel to Yakima and Golden
dale TO wind up the season. )

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO. June II lP-Hog and cat
tie prices were under pressure most of
the week and they wound up in a nominal
trade today. selling mostly at discounts
compared with a week ago. Receipts
especially in the cattle department. were
too liberal for trade requirements. At
the same tirs consumer demand was
not broad e1oush to absorb all the fresh
meat coming into the market and there
was weakening of wholesale prices
which. in turn, was reflected in the live
trade.
Hogs closed mostly steady to Is cents
lower than a week ago with sowS l5 to
20 cents of. The nominal top was Sl0."5
equal to that paid several times in the
past fve weeks. No sales we're at this
level today. because of the small trade
only few beins offered in the open
market at upward to so.
Medium-wei and heavy steers lost
25 to 30 cents this week. with rough
heavies off the most. Yea-lin2S and light
steers were - cents off. The downturn
carried the general cattle market to the
lowest level OF the sea son. Some heifers
and COWS were 40 to 80 cents lower.
Receipts of Spring lambs from South
eastern sections increased in numbers. but
the demand was broad and the market on
Sprineers, gained mostly 25 TO 80 cents

that 70 per cent capacity will be

peak of the automobile buying fol
1886 has about been reached.
On the other hand, the momentum
of building construction is gaining,
which is most important from the
standpoint of absorbing into the ranks

Retail Cans Expected.
The distinctive feature of business
for the next few months is likely to be
that of retail gains. However, these
may be slowed up by the completion
of bonus money spending and by con-
ditions in the crop growing sections of
the country where drought has dealt
a hard blow to growers of grain, fruit,
hay and vegetables Some slight relief
from this occurred during the week in
portions of the Southeast and North
west.
1t would be consistent with the busi-
ness record that activity should in
crease after the Summer holiday sea-
son. The greatest volume of railroad
earnings. representing not only the
movement of the seasons crops, but
the merchandise purchased from the
proceeds of these crops, normally
occurs in October and November.
Many persons believe that the fact
of a presidential campaign will not
disturb the flow of trade in those
months. If the issues involved in the
election were not so vitality important
to the banking and commercial in
terests as they are this year, this
might be a fair assumption.
1t does not appear to this writer
that trade and speculative markets
can escape, at some time between
September and November, the effect
on them of what will undoubtedly be
the most controversial debate on
fundamental questions during the
