Prune Market Open
In Clarke County
VANCOUVER, Wish.. June
Prune packing corporation enteral
the buying field in Clarke counly
this week and are mterai.linf to con
tract fr this year s crop at 16 cents
a pound. Kew growers have agreed
to sell their crop at this price and
the majority are .vailing lor nUhor
quotations.
Although prunes on the trees sold
for as high as 20 cents a pound lakt
year, the first offer made to the
t-'rowers was about U cents, and it
Id said that 95 yer cent of the Clarke
crop last year went to the packers
for My, cents a pound. In view of
Itst yenr'a figure, tho preliminary
price offered by the packers Indl
ciites that prunes will bo hlglior than
ever this year and will be ellmtn
ted from the tables of boanlin;
bonuses and chean roman-nnn
f ried prunes from the 1919 crou re
tailed far a high as 45 cents a
pound.
No price for the 1920 crop has
been set by tie Clark County Prun
Growers' association, a co-operative
organitatlon of farmers, a. id as the
association controls nearly half the
prune acreage of I bp county. It will
i 1 all probability prove the greatest
factor In fixing the price to be paid
by the consumer. The association
vlll sell Its product through the Ore
ton Prune Growers' association this
year. The Oregon association,
which maintains offices in the east,
has axred to sell the crop without
recompense, as the uniform distri
bution of the large Clarke crop will
stabilise tho market.

DISC ISS I'Al'I.U SHORTAGE
BOSTON, June 2. The newspa
1 er shortage as discussel Monday
at the National Editorial as&ocia
tion annual convention here. A
icsolrttnn, unanimously adopted and
forwarded to Chairman Porter of
the house foreign relations commit
tee urged the passage of senate
Joint resulution No. li2, designed
to afford immediate relief in the
imergency and to benefit country
rewspapers.
Edward Albright, Gallnlln. Tenn.,
president, declared "the ubiquitous
profiteer is abroad In the print pa
ler field lust as In many other
lines."
"My opinion Is," he added, "that
(ongress should restrict the Issue on
every newspaper to a maximum of
so many pages per day and define
a maximum page size. Large user?
'if print paper with their own milli
or contracts should keco out of tin
spot market. Congress also should
uake a substantial appropriation
fi r a determined effort to find a sub
stitute for wood pulp."
President P. T. Dodge, of the In
lernational Paper Co., predicted
higher prices for newsprint, due tc
ihreateued rise In freight rales and
vage demands by labor. He Bug
seated somo amendment to the pos
tal law requiring an added rate on
newspapers above a certain weight
and size.
"Canada Is permitted to keep raw
materials from us," be said, "and
w long as we are thus deprived, the
tntornatlortad Paper company will
not put another dollar with my con
sent Into American mills."
4000 DEATHS IX HMO.
The people of the United States
are asaln on wheels swift, pleasur -giving,
but dangerous. Last year
nearly 4000 persons were carried to
.heir deaths at grade crossings alone.
William K. Bigelow in May Good
Housekeeping oays: "Three factors
tear the most blame for these
deaths: carelessness, or neglect of
warnings; recklessness, or attempts
to outrace trains; negligence, or fail
ure properly to safeguard crossings.
It drivers alone were the victims,
the case against the man at the
v.heel would be a serious one; but
few are the accidents in which only
f.ce Is killed. Usually two "or more
passengers have placed themselves I
it the mercy of the driver, counting
upon him to exercise tnat caution
which the state expects of every per
se n authorized to drive a car. The
sdded responsibility unfortunately
does not increase the driver's cau
tion' the reverse Is more often the
ase. He talks with his passengers
and odos not see or hear warnings;

OF KN'OKMOl'M MAGNITUDE.
Canada Is now the second nation
In the world in the manufacture of
automobiles, number of cars owned
and the per capita distribution.
The United States takes first rank,
with Great Britain second.
Figures compiled by the Motor Bus
and Motorize the (arm Bureaus of
the Goodyear Tire a Rubber com
pany shows that one person In every
fifteen In the United States owns an
automobile, while one In every 23 is
the percentage In Canada. In Great
Britain but one person in every 268
owns a car. The percentage In
France is one to 102. one to 684 In
Germany, one to 1000 in Italy, one
to 2700 In Austria, and one to 6300
In Russia.
The total number of ears regis
tered In this country is approximate
ly 7.100.000, in the Dominion 350,'
000. and In England ISO.000. Can

1919 of 13 per cent. Ontario was
the banner province, with a registra

the order named.
Canada employs 15.000 workers In
the automobile industry, which rep
resents an investment of 150,000,

were manufactured In the Dominion,
with a total sales for the year of
approximately $100,000,000. The

MUTT AND JEFF CAN'T COME.
PORTLAND. Or., June 2. Mutt
and Jeff will not be able in attend
the Shrine convention in Portland
June 22 to 24. Too bad. .It may be
that Mutt'a wife and little boy won't
let him go so fur from home, even
accompanied by Jeff, for fear the two
will get in some kind of trouble and
may be unable to find their way
home
Be that as It may. Bud Fisher
cartoonist and creuator of Mutt and
Jeff, has written under New York
inte to Fred W. Ludwig, of Port
land, as follows:
"Thank you for your suggestion
that Mutt aud Jeff join the Mystic
Shrine at Portland, Oregon, and
would be pleased to accept It, except
that Mutt and Jeff run in newspapers
from Shanghai, China, to Europe
and from South America to Alaska,
and becnuse of the wide scope of
their activities It would be impossible
for me to concentrate even on the
Inrge and well known orders of
Shriuers."

PORTLAND. Ore., June 3. Wheu
the six-masted schooner Oregon Pine
goes to sea on her maiden voyage
within a few weeks. Bbe will have a
spread of 8000 yards of canvas, ac
cording to shipping authorities here.
The Oregon Fir, a sister ship also
nearlng completion at a Portland
shipbuilding yard, will have a like
area of sails. The schooners will be
the largest of their type on the Pa
cific, according to the builders.
The Oregon Pine and Oregon Fir
were wooden hulls belonging to the
emergency fleet corporation, which
were bought and completed as
schooners. From the deck to the
point of the top-mast, the distunce Is
210 feet, the bIx masts on the Ore-
n Pine helne nluced only a few
days ago. The vessels are 287 feet
iong
Both vessels have already been
chartered for lumber cargoes, the
Oreaon Pine being already started
In loading. Both will carry lumber

themselves with two voyages.
H. C. L. AFFECTS CANARIES.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 3. Hope
that the cost of living for California
canary birds wlil be reduced ironi
its present level, estimated by cutiury
dealers at about 25 cents a mouth. hu Bon. Mr- Hurgoyne has been vlsll
to the old pl-e-war level which ran wllh allolhr ton In Eugene for
from 10 to 15 cents, by bringing ; tu, past wt,eK
canary bird seed direct from Argen-1 ' tmmm
tine to the Pacific coast, is expressed
by ttoracio . Cliceres, Argentine t
consul-general at San r ranclsco.
Argentine canary seed is practi
cally the only kind sold in the mar
ket here now, the Sicilian nnu
Turkish varletiea having been crowd
ed out by the war, and the elimina
tion of overland freight charges rrom
New York through the recent estab
lishment of a new line of shipping
board steamers from the Pacific
coast to Argentina is expected by
Cuceres to be of great Importance to
thousands of birds In California.
There is no reason why all the
caged pongsters west of the Rocky
mountains should nut givo Joyous
chirps in expectation that direct im
portation will reduce household ex
penditures, according to A. K. Hart,
manager of a seed Importing firm
here. He said Im portal Inn at coast
ports would enable seedmen to ship
as far east as Denver in competition
with the east.
