FRUIT GROWERS
AGREE TO POOL
CROP; SET PRICE
Growers representing 32 acres ot
strawberries adjacent to Oregon City
agree,j to pool their product under the
auspices of the Commercial club in.
the club parlors Tuesday evening. A.
H. Finnegan, of Can em ah, who has
taken an active part in organizing the
growers of the county, presided, and
Walter Holt, county agent, acted c.s
secretary.
Of the several problems discussed,
the pooling plan was endorsed una
mously. An offer of $1.25 a crate
minimum was made by Ben Goldberg,
fruit merchant, for either the entire
crop of the association members or
the surplus crop, with any profit in
excess of 15 per cent to be turned
back to the grower. In the opinion
of some Mr. Goldberg's plan was con
sidered fair, while others insisted that
they could not sell berries for $1.25
Unless a minimum of $2.00 was guar
anteed, said one man, he would not
pick his crop.
Action on the selling price, how
ever, was deferred until the report of
a committee appointed io attend a
meeting of growers and cannerymen
at Salem next Saturday was heard.
Those appointed to attend are George
B. Frank, A. H. Finnegan, Floyd "Wil
liams, M. H. Mulligan, and Frank Fish
er. This committee will report to
a meeting of all the growers of the
county at Clackamas next Tuesday
night. At that time will also be heard
the report of the committee invest!

NET FISHERMEN
WILL FIGHT TO
KEEP RIVER OPEN
The Willamette river will not be
closed to commercial fishing without
a legal fight, according to statements
made here by representatives of the
net fishermen. The state fish com
mission has ordered the river closed
after June 6. No announcement has
been made as to the method to be
adopted. It is possible that the com
mission's .order may be attacked on
a question of its sufficiency. Anoth
er plan would be to wait until the or-,
der has become effective and to make
a test case in a criminal action. Local
fishermen are of the opinion that the i
order was issued in retaliation of the i
trouble on the river during the clos
ed season, though the commission di.-. ,
claims any such idea, the order being I
based upon the necessity of closing !
the stream from the suspension bridge !
here to St. Helens in order to promote '
propagation.
altogether 3' carloads, or nine thou
sand crates this season.
The plan of "juicing" the berries
was discussed at the meeting with
several growers favoring this meth
od of disposition. It was said that
a galon of juice, requiring about 11
pounds of berries, sold for $6 to $S,
while the machine necessary for the
operation could be purchased for less
than $100. It was suggested by Mr.
Goldberg that good money could be
made by crushing and freezing the
herries, and marketing them in the
east to . confectioners, a price of 13
cents a pound being, offered this sea
son. Last year, he said, dealers in
crushed berries received 28 cents per
pound and made lots of money. The
scheme did not appeal to local .grow
ers, however, as the varlou3 opera
tions required and the expense of
handling and stemming the berries
represented too large a sum.
O. D. Eby, special committee from
the Commercial club, and County
Agent Holt are assisting the growers
to organize, and a large gathering is
expected to attend the meeting at
Clackamas Tuesday.

About Our Poet
Edwin Markham has come and gone, leaving be
hind him a genuine regret on the part of the business
and professional men of Oregon City that he changed
his hour from the evening to the afternoon, thus making
an effectual bar to being seen and heard by all except
the leisure class, bless 'em. We had our mind all made
up to see and hear the Oregon City poet, but we are too
busy to knock off work and attend pink teas. Had we
been consulted we would have recommended the can
cellation of Mr. Markham's $200 contract, which was.
we assume, based upon the idea of his coming here at a
seasonable hour. We think "The Man With a. Hoe"
one of the greatest poems of recent years, though we
' never have agreed with the idea that a man wh wielded
a hoe was necessarily a clod-hopper, believing that there
is dignity in all labor.
But Mr. Markham has a brain and we have a deep
seated respect for brains, and we have no desire to be
facetious, but we are privileged to quote from the Salem
Journal, as follows:
"Oregon sentimentalists slopped over shamefully
on Edward Markham, crowning him as Oregon s poet
laureate. Not being a poet, merely a wordsmith, and
not being an Oregonian, Mr. Markham was duly disgust
ed and lost no time in repudiating Oregon.
"Mr. Markham declared in one of his Salem lec
tures that he was an Oregonian by accident of birth and
not to blame for it, and that as soon as he could, he left
the state to remain away, for Oregon was a good place
to get out of.
"Apparently only the lure of filthy lucre brought
the much advertised hirsute Hearst feature writer to Ore
gon and having secured all the simoleons in sight, he will
again demonstrate the superiority of his judgment by
staying away."
In a current issue of the sportive Gazette-Times of
Corvallis edited by that keen-witted chap from Kansas,
Mr. Ingalls, we find these sarcastic utterances :
"Among the important things that happened in
Oregon lately should be remembered the .fact that Ed
win Markham has been crowned poet laureate of the
state. He was crowned with a wreath of Oregon grape
and the ceremony was performed by the mayor of Port
land. When a real city starts out -to be silly it has a
country town skinned to death. The news account
doesn't say so, but the chances are that the festivities of
the day closed with a game of drop-the-handkerchief and
blind man's bluff in which the mayor chased the poet
round and round and Tound.
Captain Blanchard

GROWERS OF SMALL
FRUITS TO MEET
SATURDAY NOON
Growers of small fruits in the ter
ritory adjacent to Oregon City will
hold a meeting here at 12 o'clock on
Saturday of this week to discuss plans
for marketing their products. It is

CAPTAIN LOWELL, BLANCHARD
(When Captain of O. N. G.)
Captain Blanchard was born in Ore

company when ordered to the border.
His company was considered one of
the best drilled in the regiment, hav

at Camp Withycombe.
Captain Blanchard left for the Mex

stationed at Imperial Valley, Californ-
ifor three months In April, 1917,
he again entered the service of the
United States army and in command
of this company, was ordered to Mon
tana for guard duty, and also was sta

RAILWAY TRACKS ARE
ENDANGERED BY FAST
RISING FLOOD WATERS
Portland's fuel supply and rail and
highway arteries are being menaced
by the flood in the Columbia river
which continues to creep stealthily up
ward and snd its backwater into the
Willamette river to overflow into the
vital centers of the community.
With the river at a stage of 21.4
feet above the zero stage at 8 o'clock
Tuesday morning, it will only take
a rise of seven feet more to place the
gas company plant as Gasco out of
commission. The gas company, like
the oil companies in this district, are
located on the low ground along the
Willamette.
The 'giant tank of the Standard Oil
company at Oilton is also endangered
The tank ' contains little oil at pres
ent and a rise of 30 feet might cause
the huge container to float away.
But a speculative rise is not neces
sary to cause worry for flood damage.
as the present stage is causing enough
anxiety. The particular stragetic
point on which everyone has thei
attention focused at present ig on the
municipal dikes along Columbi
slough.
The rapid current pouring through
the Columbia river gorge has spit and
is sending a swirling and turgid part
of itself through the Columbia slough
The dikes are built only of loose
mud and dirt anc were not intended
to withstand a swift current.
The result is that the walls and dike
are crumbling away and threaten the
embankment of the S. P. & S. railroad
near the North Portland station. Rail
road engineers are already preparing
to fortify this fill should the Colum
bia slough dfke break away.
Flood conditions are likely to con
tinue on the Columbia and lower Wil
lamette river until well into June be
fore the crest of the rise is reached
in the opinion of E. L. Wells, district
weather forecaster.
The rise Tuesday is predicted to
amount to .2 of a foot and this slight
rise is expected to continue until Fri
day morning when a height of 22 feet
should be recorded.

ot Case Is
ject of Order
from Commission
Subj
The public service commission has
promised to issue an order in connec
tion with the Oregon City depot case
by the end of next week, or within
a few days thereafter, according to
a letter received here Thursday by
Wallace B. Caufield, chairman of the
depot committee of the Live Wires.
The Wires have made an application
for an order requiring tho Southern
Pacific Co. to construct a new depot
at Oregon City, basing its application
upon the grounds that the present
depot facilities are hopelessly inade
quate to take care of the freight and
passenger traffic In and out of Ore
gon City. There is no Intimation
from the commission as to the pro
bable character of the order.
DIVORCE COMPLAINT
A complaint was filed in the county
clerk Saturday by Gertrude Beard vs.
Sylvester Beard, charging desertion
and askes the circuit court tot a dlv
ores. They were married at Vancouv
er, Wash., May 15, 1920. Sylvester
Beard deserted the plaintiff during
the month of July, last, she said.
SALEM, May 24. The canning sit
uation Is very uncertain, according to
R. C. Paulus, general manager of the
Oregon Growers' Cooperative associa
tion. .
Canneries have no orders for future
delivery and hence have no means of
knowing how much to can or how
much they can pay growers for fruit
and berries. Wholesale houses are
not placing heavy future orders, buy
ing on a hand to mouth basis.
If this continues, Mr. Paulus says
that the trade will be out of canned
goods before another season and in
the meantime 'considerable portions
of fruit will have spoiled.
Canners, bankers and growers are
giving much thought to the canning
proposition, Mr. Paulus says, and that
some plan may be worked out, al
though at present It Is difficult to say
just what this plan will be.
BUS DRIVER FINED $50
The case of Phil W. Liliaon, of 8S0
E. Ninth street, Portland, who waa ar
rested for operating a bus within the
city limits of Oregon City last Satur
days was tried before City Recorder
Chas. Kelley Tuesday and found guil
ty. He was given, a fine of $50, but
it was suspended by the recorder on
the 'grounds that the act la never
again attempted.
Pavement at the menaced point on
the Union avenue approach to the
Interstate bridge had sunk about a
foot Tuesday morning, according to
motorists.
Workmen continued their battle to
save the fill from complete washout,
although county officials gave no
hopeful reports.
Considerable current was flowing
through! the tunnel that caused the
trouble, it was said Tuesday morning.
The water was reported to be eat
ing severely into the sand on the
down-stream side of the fill, which is
not protected by concrete rip rap.
Locally, the flood showed little dif
ference from Monday, although the
weather bureau official said they
were still unable, to make any relia
ble prediction of what would happen
four or five days hence.
A rise of six-tenths of a foot is ex
pected within the next three days, ac
cording to the weather office. The
reading this morning was 21.5 feet in
both the Willamette at Portland and
the Columbia at Vancouver.
The Columbia Is still rising. A
1.1 foot jump was recorded from
Wenatchee and Vancouver showed an
increase of four-tenths of a foot dur
ing the last twenty -four hours.

Chautauqua park before tne opening
day July 12th. The first i? a new
gymnasium 50 x 90 feet in size, hav
ing a good floor and covered with a
rain proof roof.- The sides are to be
left open to allow the free circulation
of the good air that everybody camps
at Gladstone to get.
There will be a library building
which the State Library will furnish
with books. The plans for this build
ing were drawn under the supervi
sion of Miss Cornelia Marvin, State
Librarian. They provide for e large
reading room, cheerfully lighted and
cosily warmed by a big fire place, al
so a large outdoor screened in read
ing room. The third building will be
constructed by the Clackamas Coun

OLD MINE COMES BACK
BAKER, Or., May 24. Repeatedly
turned down by mining experts, yet
today a consistent producer of rich
silver ore such is the "comeback of
the Bay Horse mine at Huntington.
The Bay Horse was only recently
reopened and this in the fact of ad
vice by some of the most competent
engineers in the business. Today it
is shipping ore at the rate of two car
load? a week to Salt Lake smelters,
and because of heavy production now
in sight, negotiations are under way
for the reopening of another smelter
at Sumpter, Oregon.
J. L. Magna, mining engineer of
Spokane, is the man given credit for
the comeback of the Bay .Horse. In
spite of unfavorable reports, Magna
advised that a final trial be made by
cross-cutting from the six-foot wall
of the mine.
This was done.
The crosscut progressed but a few
feet when a six-foot vein of rich sil
ver ore was tapped. ' The vein is said
to be yielding consistently, and the
Bay Horse property, once condemned
as worthless, again hums with ac
tivity.
The wrestling matches at the noon
luncheon of the Live wires were fast
and interesting from the word go.
The first match was put on by Ches
ter Newton and George Tatro, result
ing in Newton getting two out of the
three falls, although it took htm near
ly the full time to do it The first
fall came in about six minutes. The
second exhibition was between Clar
ence Newton and George Dambach
Newton, the second, was the winner
of the match. Both of these match
es were full of pep and the boys
showed real sportsmanship in ' the
work, and the friendly spirit in which
they toot defeat or victory.
The four boys won their letters in
the local high school, which they are
now attending, for their work on the
mat. After the match the boys were
invited to a special luncheon in the
dining room and the Live Wires vot
ed them their unanimous thanks for
the entertainment.
The regular routine of the Live
Wires was completed before adjourn
ment to the main rooms of the club,

committeeman, submitted , his, report
which was accepted and the commit--tee
dismissed.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 2L
Madame Curie, eminent French scien
tist, received, from the hand of Presi
dent Harding Friday the gram of
radium purchased for her by Ameri
can women in the interest of humani
tarian research.
At the presentation ceremonies in
the east room of the White House, at
4 o'clock Friday afternoon standard
eastern : time, a. notable group of
American .aiid JdipIOmatic; officials aad
leaders of . science and philanthropy
were present. Jules Jusserand, French
ambassador, formally introduced
Madame Curie, and she responded to
the presidents presentation address
with a little speech of thanks deliver
ed in broken Englisa.
In handing over the little phial the
its precious contents, Mr. Harding de
clared it represented In small part the
gratitude of this nation for the dis
covery of radium.
Giving .thanks for the gift in the
name of his government, Ambassador
Jusserand said the occasion was one
of many manifestations of the gen
erosity of "a people who always are
watching for an opportunity to do
good "
Mme. Curie's speech of thanks con
sistej of only a few sentences telling
of her gratitude and her regard for
America.
The radium, purchased at a cost of
$100,000,. was locked in a little ribbon
draped cabinet. After the ceremonies
the guests were tendered a reception
in the blue room by the president,
Mrs. Harding and Mme. Curie.
President Harding paid tribute to
the personal attainments of the dis
tinguished visito(r, to the spirit ot
womanhood typified by her, and to
the liationai traditions which lie be
hind her native Poland and her adopt
ed country, the French republic.
We greet you as foremost among
scientists in the age of science, as
leader among women in the genera.
ion which sees woman come tardily
nto her own," said the president.
We greet you as an exmeplar of
liberty's vistories in the generation
wherein liberty has won her crown
of glory. In doing honor to you, we
testify anew our pride in the ancient
friendships which have bound us to
both the country of your adoption and
that of your nativity.
It has been your fortune, Mme.
Curie, to accomplish an immortal
work for humanity. We bring to you
the meed of honor, which is due to
pre-eminence in science, scholarship,
research and humanitarian sm.
'But with it all we bring something
more. We lay at your feat the testi
mony of that love which all the gen
erations of men have been wont to
bestow upon the noble woman, the
unselfish wife, the devoted mother.
"A number of years ago a reader of
one of your earlier works on radio
active substances noted the observa-
tion that there was much divergence
of opinion as to whether the energy
of radio-active substances is created
within those substances themselves
or is gathered to them from outside
ources and then diffused from them.
The question, suggested an answer
which is doubtless hopelessly unscientific.
