Packing plants have Dcen nusy nn Inr orders and cars have been roll ing from them regularly as fast as the fruit could be packed. This year a different marketing problem Is presented and the small prunes will be the first ones to be cleaned up. Last season the reverse was true when the smaller sizes re mained till the last. It Is expected quality of this vesr's prune, will be wry Influential factor. Id the early, that the Urge sire and superior ! movement of the crop.

Many Tourists Stop in City In spite of the fact that this is November and snow is tipping Ihe high mountains of the coast range, the auto camp grounds still attract a large number of automobile tour ists who brave the elements and pitch their tents regardless of the cold nights. An average of ten tour ist parties spend the night at the camp grounds, according to Jack Horner, who has charge of the grounds. Most of these tourists are families working from place to Place. They find work In a locality nnd remain there for a few weeks and then go on to another stop. Most of tbese are working into California for the winter. There are also a few families who have lingered too long In their pleasure seeking and are now making a belated dash for home. There are also a few who are on their way through to California for the winter, having stnrted Inter In the year than they had first planned In addition to the tourists stopping at Ihe auto camp grounds there are forty or more staying In the hotels each nlrht, making an average of nbout fifty cars stopping here cacn nlrht. . o News-Review Press Has Been Shipped Word received today from the Goss Printing Press oC, at Chicago, Is to the effect that the big newspnner roll feed press recently ordered Uy the News-Review had left the fnctory nnd will arrive here In sufficient time to complete the installation of the press by the first of the coming year. rnrtrnctor Patterson, who Is nuiin Ing an annex to this pnper's present quarters, hns the work well under wnv and expects to have the work fully completed within the next ten dnvii.

TURKEY MARKET REPORTED STRONGER AND INDICATIONS POINT TO VERY GOOD PRICE Expectations Are That Price Will Open tit About 41 Cents and Will Increase as Competition Grows Local And Outside Buyers Are in the Field. MARKET STRONGER Market quotations on turk- eys today Indicated that .the market Is gradually becoming stronger, leading to the opinion that the price for Doullas coun- -w iy turaeys will be quite good, Dressed turkeys wero quoted on the San Francisco mnrket at 35 U to 45 centand live birds at 35 I and 40 Portland dressed cents and live birds at 32 cents. Portland reports stated that the market Is Ereadler and that the demand is increasing. A num- ( her of the smaller markets of Portland are anxious to secure turkeys. I Friday and Saturday, November 18 nnd 19. have been . designated as "Turkey days," and Roseburg will present a very busy appearance on those days. In spite of the fact that the crop is below normnl, there will be many thousand birds brought In to the city and some 'n rompetl tioti Is expected. As usual there are the early rumors, flurries, etc., but nothing definite regarding the mar ket. Locally conditions appear quite normal with Indications of heavy l)UynK a9 u9uaI. Severai iCnl cash buyers are arriving and preparing to to. enter Into the compc.tltln'i. Thy Kami Bureau pool is as yt ui known quantity, but from general indica tions, the pool will catch a majority of the Thanksgiving birds. The price is as yet a matter of guesswork and Is variously estimat ed at from 35 to 45 cents. It may possibly exceed 4 5 cents, to the grow er, but this is quite doubtful under the present mnrkot conditions. Gen eral opinion seems to be that the market will open at about 40 cents and will increase gradually. The turkey markot Is short and this Is expected to affect the price for the benefit of the grower. Turk eys are scarce throughout the east as well as along the coast and conse quently there is little danger of the coast market being flooded with east ern turkeys. A recent turkey re port from various turkey raising states, shows the crop to be short In Texas, Kansas. Oklahoma. Arkans as. Iowa. Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky. Ohio, Mississippi and Alabama. The states of Missouri. Michigan, fnnoBOta. Wisconsin and the Dako- tns. report the turkey crop to be nearly normal, while the eastern states report an average crop. This shows that the states men tioned will not have more than enough turkeys to supply their local lemand. It Is then up to the coast stntes to sunplv the const trade ann consequently with a short crop along the roast, the price Is expected to nc fairly good. According to market renorts gath ered from various sections, however. there Is a general stagnation In tne turkey marital at this time, although this condition tuny chnnKe upon the npproach of Thanksclvlng and the demand for turkeys begins. Growers are putting little credence In the reports of heavy shipments from Australia. South America and other points. The same reports an- received year after year, ust neiore buying time and consequently they are taken merely as n crv of "wolf." general survey of conditions points to a normal yeir, and although there may bo a decline of a few cents In comparison with the price of last vear. even this is doubt Till. Yesterday's quotations on the Portland market, quoted dresseu tnrks selling at 3 and 40 cents, with live turkeys t 30 snd 3 5 rents. A year ago at the same time, dressed turkeys were selling at 45 nnd 4S rent, nnd live turkevs nt 35 rents white In 1419 dressed ttirkevs t.rniiirli! 45 cents and lle turkeys 34 " ftltrt AOntl The lower price quoi- due to a lesser demand I or tl Thanksgiving bird, but because of I II tcmporary stagnation which will bs relieved as soon as the birds are placed on the market in large quan tities. Some persons are claiming that In dividual financial conditions are such this year, that families former ly In the habit of buying turkeys will not bo able to provide themselves with this luxury this year. On the other hand it Is claimed that the crop Is short and that this shortage will take care of those who are unable to buy and that there will be sufficient buyers for all of the birds placed on the market As usual buyers are loath to make any statements regarding their prices. It Is understood, however, that the recent contract taken by a San Francisco firm with the govern ment for the delivery of 10,000 pounds ot turkey to the quartermas ter at Portland is to be taken as a foundation. This contract, It Is un derstood, was taken at 44.9 cents per pound on top birds. Allowing the wholesaler 3 cents for expenses and 1 cent for profit, would leave 40.0 cents or practically 41 cents. This It Is expected will be accepted as the opening price. As competi tion Increases and buying becomes stronger, the price will undoubtedly Increase and It is believed will reach at least 45 cents and may possibly go stronger. Ceorge Kohlhagen, The Peoples Supply company, RoBeburg Produce Co., and Louis Kohlhagen, have all announced that they will be local cash buyers again this year. For mnny years each of these firms have handled much of the local turkey crop and expect to be In the field again this year. O. J. Lindsay, of Everybody's Exchange, Is as yet un decided as to whether or not he will be In the market for birds this year. Thero will be several outside com panies represented. The Pacific Meat and Pncklng company, which has been In the local field for several vonrs will bo represented ngnin hy 1 W. Ringer. Mrs. Mnrle Gethlng, of Onkland. California, will be in nnklnnd, Orecon. buying turkeys for a group of San , Frnnclsco markets. Mrs. Gethlng Is a former resident of Oakland nnd has relatives residing there. Mr. Eason Is here from Seat tle, representing the Jim Henry eoni panv and will buy locally and at Oak land. The pool which Is being formed by the Douglas County Farm Bureau Exchange, la expected to take a large share of the birds. The exchange will be represented bv C. E. Banning nt Roseburg. T. M. Tnmllson. Myrtle Creek: D. H. Lamb, Yonrnlla: Riley Mornlngstnr. Drain: H. E. Kruger, Onltlnnd: nnd Hert Adams, Elklon. The pool Inst year covered only a tninll por'lon of the county but this vear will reach all trukey raising confers There mav be other buyers In the field but they have not yet officially announced themselves. It Is expected that there will be about 65 per cent of the usual num ber of birds pl.Tfcn on ine mm -.. The late spring rains held back the voting turks and caused the death of , great number of them. There were fewer farmers engaged In raising turkeys this year snd altogether the nnmiier or nirus duced this lenr. Mnnv farmers jire holding off until the Christmas mar. ket because their young birds d d not mature as rapidly ns ns.tni ovna ... .enson. snd consequently the Thanksgiving market will suffer. -The grading of the Coqullle rtoseburg highway will be com ,,,.ted bv next June, according to estimate, of State Highway Eng l; neor Nunn snd the commission .aid Charles Ha", "ho "-'yed,,firm" ,1,1, morning from a week s trip to Portland and Salem, says the Coo, tiny Times.
