The result of this mod of doing butiuess is tbat tbe growing of Italian prunes in Oregon is not only on the decline, but fast passing oat of existence, and the whole prune business threat ens to collapse, in ' which esse neither wholesalers nor trans portation men will have any business in or . profits from prunes. . . - -' ; This is an easy year for Re publican platform wi iters. All they have to do is to endorse President Roosevelt's patriotic administration. That tells the whole story for tbe great mass of tbe piople all know that bis heartbeats in unison with the common people and they are the supporters of this great country. A few years a,;o the orchard ists in Oregon banked largely on profits to be derived from growing prunes for market. This wa especially tbe case with regard to tbe larger or Italian varieties. Our fruit men read up on the cultar; and prepara tion of tbe prune for market and went into the business with such vim tbat thousands of acres were set out in , prunes; this was especially tbe case in Southern Oregon where large fields were set out is Italian prunes. Tbe trees grew wiih thrift and vigor and bore good crops, but after one or two crops had been d if posed of at renum eralive prices, for some cause or other the price to the giowers slumped to a mark that left no margin of profit to the orcbard ists and now the press from Southern Oregon reports that the growers are grubbing up their prune trees, as "unprofit able cumbers of tbe ground." To tbe consumers of Italian dried prunes, tbe price thereof has not fallen in th same pro portion that it has to tbe pro ducers. While the orchardists were only paid 3 cents per pound as the highest rates, tbe Rome prunes could not be pur chased cf tbe wholesale dealers in Portland by country mer chants at figures that would en able them to dispense them to their consumers ut less than 8 cents, or three pounds for twen ty five ceuls, the additional five cents per pound, less the ordin ary profit on such goods, being consumed iu wholesaler's profits and freight rates. . This seems to be a case where the wholesale dealers and trans portation men have co-operated in reducing tbe price of a com modity to the producer without reduciug it to the consumer, with tbe effect that orchardists are ceasing to grow prunes, be cause of thu low prices paid them therefor, and the consumers The couuty ticket is looking hesitate to purchase an article better every day to the Repub- for which, as they . un lerstaun i licans, M.
