Lane County Pears Are
All Taken By France
Eugene—An order for all available
canned Lane county pears for ship
ment to France has been received by
the Eugene Fruitgrowers* association,
following the shipping, four months
ago, of a carload of the goods. Not
only are the cannery officials elated
at the receipt of the order, but they
are doubly so at the prospect of open
ing in Europe a market for tbe Lane
county canned fruits.
“This opens the way for a very
large tffisinesa in canned fruit,” said J.
O. Holt, manager. “We are quoting
prices to dealers in France, not only
on pears, but on berries and cherries.
The French people have been accus
tomed to buy California canned fruits,
but they are learning that the Oregon
fruits are better.
“The fruits and berries on which
we have been quoting prices are of the
highest grades, and are sold f. o. b.
Eugene. In spite of the high freight
charges, we are able to book the or
ders, and with the opening of the Pan
ama canal, and the reduction of proba
bly one-half of the freight cost, we
should be able to book largo orders in
Europe, for then we will be able to
deliver our goods on the eastern side
of the Atlantic as cheaply as at New
York.”
The Eugene Fruitgrowers* associa
tion last year sold $20,000 worth of
dried prunes in London alone, and sub
stantial shipments
were made to
points in Holland and Sweden.
The Eastern broker for the Eugene
cannery is now booking orders’for

“I don't believe there will be any
war,” he added.
“There are a few
Japanese who say America will finally
insist on war, and there is a ‘yellow

this country.

Dr. S. W. McClure, secretary of the

association.
Tbe statement was made in a letter
received by State Senator Burgees and
in which the national secretary re
quested Mr. Burgess to spread tbe
hopeful tidings among local growers
of wool. Dr. McClure says:
“My advices from Boston are to the
effect that the market has been prac
tically cleaned up here and abroad.
In London the January sales closed

in the last 12 months, s American
buyers bought considerable quantities.
Since the sale has closed, wool con
tinues to advance. Statistically wool
is in a stronger position today than at
any time for years.
“About January >20, Eastern wool
buyers began contracting wool in
Utah and Idaho.
Already 8,000,000
pound« have been contracted at prices
the same as last year and in some
cases a half cent higher; 16| cents
has been paid for Soda Springs wool
and 16 cents for Utah. 1 am unable,
of course, to predict the future course
of prices, but I believe that these
facts should be given to your wool
growers.”

annual Rose Festival, and for the first
time in the history of this classic
event the manufacturing concerns

The board of governors is having

These floats will typify the historical

He attacked principally the broad

The king expressed hia strong dis

As Mr. Carlisle was entering Buck

wished to send a message to the king.
