An anonymous telephone call to the police authorities today advihed them, "If you will find out what hat .become of Theodore White, formerly of Fresno, you will know who thn dead man In the Pacific t'ellulone laboratory mystery 1h." A street address Riven by the In formant In Ilerkeley, Cal., whs vhdled and no one was found who professed to know either White or anything about a telephone call. The man who telephoned said that White had an apartment with Charles Henry Schwartz, chemist of the company, for whom the po lice are looking, despite claims of the wife that he perished In an ex ploHlon In Hie Cellulose Inboratory a week ago yesterday, 24 hours be fore th time of the explosion. He 8 i! that White until a few weeks aiio was employed as a chemist by "some scientific Ice c renin coin miny," of Fr?no and had been , forced to find gome otht'r emplov jment when that company ci'nsd business. White's address la deslnd by the state Industrial accident de part incut for some reason un known to the anonymous telephon es he said, and he concluded hi conversation with the words 'Til let you know more Inter."

An unidentified letter found nfar the body, which is the latest clue that may lead to the identification of the victim was made public fast night. This also is of mysterious nature . The letter contains no signature. It Ik dated "In the big trees. Santa Cruz. May 24, 1925' and begins, "dear friends."

Oregon prune prices are nearer the California prices than ever be fore In the hlMory of the Industry, according to figures received on i he new quotations made by the CaliTornla Prune and Apricot as sociation. Heretofore Oregon prunes have brought from three to five cents lens than the California fruit, but this year buying Is within a cent of the California price. This is of great Importance to the Ore gon industry, indicating that the ti nit lu this statu is now recognized a heing fully on a par with the California fruit In quality. 'J he selling price of the two main varieties of the prunes packed by the California concern, Is 1Z cents and Hi cents. This price is ap proximately 2 cents higher than the price per pound paid grower, so that the buying price is between 9 and 10 cents on ..0-40 sizes. The base price now offered local grow ers Is 9 cents, so thut t lie re is ap parently little difference between the purchasing price in California and Oregon. The California Association has just issued revised figures on its packed prunes. The prices are on 2" lb. boxes, and cover the two main varieties, "Sunsweet" aud Outside.
