THE MOKJTCVG OKEGOXIAN, SATURDAY, APRIX 13, 1907. 13 GftNNERS TO BLAME Blight Fruit-Packing Industry by Their Tactics. PAY GROWERS TOO LITTLE AV. K. Xewell, President of State Board of Horticulture, Calls At tention to Bad Business Methods Now In Vogue. That tha fruit canning Industry of Ore ron is tillBhted by low prices paid for ' fruit by canners Is the declaration of W. K. Newell, of Washinston County, president of tha State Board of Horticul ture and Rperesentative for his county In Vie legislature. He asserts that canners . ran afford to pay higher prices to grow ers and that they would make more , money by doing it. In this state there are only seven can neries, and they do not supply the home . market with Jams and jellies and fruits. Two are at Portland, two at The Dalles and one at each of the towns of Ashland, Sprlnnbrook and Salem. New canneries are now starting at Albany, Eugene, Mon mouth, MUton and La Grande, and an other Is projected at Lebanon. "Great wealth con be created out of the ' fruit canning and preserving business." ' Mid Mr. Newell yesterday. "But the I prices paid for the fruit to growers have been too low and have dwarfed. the busi ness. Do you know that arounfl Portland fewer strawberries and raspberries are i produced than 10 or 15 years ago? Yet . the land about Portland is well adapted to raising those berries. The people have not been planting vines, because they knew it was no use; they could not get high enough prices to make a living. Seattle Invades Field. "Portland canners have allowed pro duction to diminish. But now comes a Seattle cannery, trying to buy strawber ries for shipment to Seattlo for canning there, and can't get big enough supplies. This cannery can afford to pay better prices for strawberries than, the Portland canneries, with shipping cost added in and still make money. It is trying to make long-term contracts for delivery of fruit at prices profitable for growers. "The representative of the Seattle can nery told me several days ago that a well-known Eastern company, which makes a specialty of jams and Jellies, tried vainly to obtain 10 carloads of rasp berries last year In this territory. It seems that this country does not produce enough berries to make jam. It Imports larne quantities of such product that ought to be made at home. Big; Openings in Oregon. "There arp big openings in Oregon for canneries. They need large supplies of fruit. Lrge supplies ought not to hurt growers' prices. It has been customary, however, for canneries to use a surplus In the market to bear down prices, where as. If they did their duty, there would be no surplus.' The low prices discouraged growers and they cut down, their fruit product In successive seasons. Then the canners howled that they couldn't get fruit enough. i "Canneries don't take up samples 'of fruit and then quit. " They need large Quantities. They've got to have flrst ; class fruit. Nowadays they can't put up cheap left-over-Saturday-night fruit.'' Mr. Newell predicts an awakening in ' the fruit canning Industry and a reform . of the methods of existing canneries.

Goodness Sakes Alive, Yes" "When I was a girl, a man who did not own property of some kind was a shiftless, good-for-nothing scamp. ' He either had a little town lot in the village, a small garden nearby, a 20 or 40-acre piece close in or a nice, large farm somewhere in the country. My gracious, it was a diffi cult matter, folks, to find a man with out something in the way of land, even though 'twere not much more than a lot in the graveyard. "Then, I remember when I came "West. We carried everything we owned in all this world on four wheels. We went to work in the wilder ness, and even though we were poor, we had our farm. Everybody around us thought nothing of owning a farm. The only living beings that did not have property were Indians, trappers and" scallawags. "I know it is different now. Alas, things have come to a pretty pass. Everybody seems to be paying tribute to somebody else for the privi lege of living under a roof. The lad who married a lass in the olden days would not dare return to her father's home if he had not a home in .which to keep his sweet bride. "I well remember that our father taught us to be frugal. We were told to" save our pennies for Christmas, for Fourth of July and for many other things. But the wiser boys saved their pennies and bought land. Those men are wealthy today, those of them who are left. "That's why I say, 'Goodness sakes alive, yes!' when you ask me about Rose City Park. Buy all you can of it. Do not attempt to buy .more than you can handle with safety.. It is better to buy too little and keep it, than to buy too much and have to forfeit some of it. If you could have seen Portland grow up from a little baby to a great, big, strapping boy, the way I have, you would buy all the property in this city that you could handle." . NOTE This statement was made by an elderly woman who is a pioneer of Portland. Her name cannot be used, for personal reasons, but if her spirit could actuate the young, growing men of Portland, there would not be enough Rose City Park lots to last a fortnight. Especially while they are to be obtained at present prices and upon the present easy terms. If you let last week go by without making a move, do not allow the next one to drift away. Time is pressing, and soon you will not be able to buy a lot of any kind in Portland at less, than exorbitant prices. - Hartman & Thompson BANKERS Chamber of Commerce Ground Floor lot 8. block 508, Couch Add 1,650 J.
