be. . for prunes purchased
by ...e distributing company
and not paid for at the con-
tract price, was today trans-
ferred to the U. S. district
court for Oregon upon order
of Judge J. W. Hamilton. The
order was made upon the tno-
itlon of the defendant com-
pany, which represented that
it Is an Incorporation ope rat-
lng under the laws of New
York state, and that there-
fore the Oregon circuit court
has no jurisdiction. In view or
this showing Judge Hamilton
! ordered the case moved to
the U. S. district court .
The action grows oat of
the settlement by the Sgobel
and Day company for fresh
prunes purchased thla year.
Craven holds the assigned
claims of approximately fifty
fruit growers of the county,
4 who maintain that they con-
traded with the company for
a specified price. Settlement
was offered at a much lower s
figure, they claim.

TRADE BALANCE NEAR
One Division Needs Water,
Other Fertilization; ;
Government Not
to Colonize.
(AMoeUtsd tnm Loaid Win )
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. Con
servation of natural, resources and
reclaiming of land lost to agricul
ture were defined as the "two real
questions vital to the supremacy
of the nation," by Secretary Work
in an address today opening a con
ference on reclamation and colon
ization of idle lands.
"We must begin again, in the
east, aa did our forefathers," be
said, "nou to conquer the land,
wreak a living from It and aband
on It but to restore It." Reclam
ation from now on, the secretary
believes, sbould Include the recap
ture and restoration of lost fertili
ty, asserting that 'when the lime
la extracted from the soil and de
posited In men's arteries, the end
of that community Is In sight."
Millions Spent.
Emphasising the economic Im
portance of reclamation of Idle land
in the east. Which be estimated at
a large pronortlon of the 452.000,
000 acres of Idle land in the coun
try. Mr. Wofk continued:
"Reclamation of these humid re
gions does not reoulre the expendi
ture of millions of dollars for Irri
gation work. Their water supply
comes from the clouds and . Is
spread without cost. The federal
government has spent $200,000,000
to build Irrigation works to pro
vide water for 1.ROO.OO0 acres of
arid and seml-arld land In the west.
Sixty million dollars will be re
quired to complete these works
and a like sum Is to be spent on
new projects. Expenditure of les
ser sums for fertilisers in the re
storation of exhausted lands would
make quick returns and eliminate
the long haul."
Irrigated agriculture Is a special
ty to which eastern farmers are not
attracted, the secretary said, add
ing that "reclamation is a nation
al problem and should be so treat-
ed We ,hould farm less
and farm better."
Weat Bears Unequal Strain.
Social and economic' phases of
the question were also discussed.
The secretary declared that a n
economic strain was Increasing In
the Pacific and the , rest of the
country. Remarking that western
ers bad turned manufacturers and
were developing a market through
the Golden Gate, be believed that
"economlcallv a trade division Is
nendlpg between the Atlantic and
Pacific states."
"Home production and home con
sumption will soon demand intens
ive studv bv our economists." he
continued. The great divide al
ready means more than a "Jam In
the earth's surface. It Is already
rent In the economic fabric of a
nation."
It Is the Intention of the Interior
department, he said, to use the
3100.000.000 appropriated bv con
gress for the study of settlement
or Idle lands in a comprehensive
way rather than In promoting lo
cal colonization schemes.
Real Farmars Wanted.
The conference was called to
order by Dr Elwood Mead, com
missioner of reclamation, who in a
brief welcome said the problem of
rectamation waa essentially that of
retting cultivators on land rather
than preparing land for them, a
problem which In his opinion af
fected not only the west, but the
entire country.
This conference Is to be "one of
the most Important conferences
called In my official life," he con
tinued. Applause greeted his statement
that on the qttestlon of.reolsma-
tlon "the secretary of agriculture
and the secretary of the Interior
seem to be going In the same di
rection at the same time. I think
that mav he because we are going
the rl'ht direction."
FARM BETTER
WORK'S ADVICE
Jardine Wants Factories.
Recrefsnr Jsrdlne followed Sec
retary Work, emphaslilne nation
wide aspects of rec'smatlon and
the necessity of finding markets
for farmers' surnlus production.
"Over production." he said. "Is
the moat perplexing n robin)'" now
before the American farmer."
He added that much land that
had been under gr and haa been
plowed np and settled should hsve
been left as range land. "There
would seems to be no need of gov
ernment effort at this present time

PARIS, Dec. 14. France's fh

which la being heightened by the
series nf sharp drops In the value

In the viewpoint of some observ
ers, algns are multiplying that the
nolltlcal system Is falling more

signs, however, thee aver, are lost
on parliament, which costlamea-i
