PENDLETON
Local Fire Department
Composed of Veterans
Nowhere in the state and pos
sibly nowhere in the west Is there
a voluntei r fjre department that Is
more awake and efficient than the
one Iji Grande boasts of. It has
been said.
Kvcry citizen of Ij Grande Is
aware that when the fire alarm
Is sounded, volunteers run a close
race With the paid - firemen who
have set several records for quick
runs to fires.
The reason, many believe. Is
that the l-a Grande volunteer fire
department Is formed of veterans.
Constant fire fighting year in and
year out for a long period of years
mjikei for efficiency and speed,
and that. It t said. Is why the local
fireii hold up to their high stan
dard. A perusal of the records show
IiCoiturd Wo4ti ' Jr.,' gun or the
goteruor-gcncrnl or the Philip

afternoon oivtomorrow on the Old

Lone Pine and Te.iocuset. This sec
tion has been olied before and, the

EAST LOOKING TO
THE NORTHWEST
Elrjrin Man -Declares that
Prices Will Depend on
How Fast the Growers
Dispose of Fruit'
'"A 'quite thorough Investigation
of the fruit markets of the east
discloses that the big buyers there
expect a much larger crop from
the Pacific Northwest than we
actually have." H. H. Weather
spoon, Elgin orchardisl, who re-,
cently sold 25 . cnrloadB of apples
while in the east, stated at Elgin
after, returning from New York a
few days ago," and consequently
are. not anxious to buy greater than
for their present needs. Tho ap
ples being , inarkoted now arc
bringing very fair prices.
"Apples from tho Atlantic to the
Pacific are ripening at least two
weeks earlier than in former years
and are actually being consumed
In greater quantities than in many
years. This condition Is due to a
shortage of fruits of all kinds, as
well as to the high prices demand
ed for pears and peaches, of which
there is not nearly a normal yield
this year. .....-
Blfr Buyers llcluctnnt 1
"The b'g buyers - so i far are
showing no signs of wanting to
storage anything for the late sett
son, owing to their belief that the
crop H at least 35 per cent above
government estimates for Septem
ber. The export trade is taking
much greater quantities than In
any previous year up to this, and
the foreign markets are Seeming
ly steady under rather high prises.
All export apples are going direct
ly Into consumption; -
"All varieties in Arkansas. Mis
souri and other districts In the
Mississippi und Missouri valleys
have been greatly arfected by un
usually, warm and dry weather,
which has created a severe drop.
These are being rushed on the
smaller town markets beyond" the
limit of consumption. It is a very
safe prediction that the markets
in towns up to Mi.ono population
in the Middle West are going to
break badly early in .Oetobur nd
will not recover much before the
holidays, if that early.
"Viewing the situation as a
whole , up to th,u first of w year.
I believe that it will bo a sane
market, devoid of speculation:
prices depending entirely upon how
fust growers of the North went
crowd tho market by rolling cars
unsold, or to be sold through vari
ous auctions.
"If the growers of the Northwest
will use good, common judgment Itf
not allowing too much fruit to
move unsold, the big market will
hold steady at a price that will
net good profits. On the other
hand, if they practice heavy con
slRning to commission merchants
and auction, thy market will not
hold under thw over supply und
they may expect to be slaughtered.
It Is not my opinion that big buy
ers could be induced to buy over
supplies which would have to go
into cold storage, except at a tre
mendous sacrifice. My own sup
ply that breaks the markets badly
In October and November will
greatly benefit those holding for
the first of the yeur markets.
"Growers and shippers must
keep in mind thul the unction sa(eh
in Chicugo. Ht. J.oms, Pittsburg
and New York Is what sets the
price on R O. B. sab s at this end.
If consixning for auction ami com
mission selling Is generally prac
ticed and these markets are kept
full all of the time, your 4- O. B.
buyers will huve no reason tor buy
ing at this end. except ut grtul
reductions. They canuut place any
dependence on what the market'
will be lu days later. A steady,
but rather light movement will al
low the fall and early winter low
grade stuff to clean up. Thus we
may expect a strong demand at
fair prit-i s later."
