CANBY AND
CANBY TO HAVE
OREGON GROWER
BRANCH STATION
CANBY, Jan. 20. (Special). The
establishment of a receiving station
of the Oregon Growers is practically
assured here fpllowing the conclusion
of an acreage survey made by experts
of the marketing organization. While
no definite announcement as to the
arra&geme&ts has yet been made, it
is understood that sufficient berry
acreage has been signed to warrant
the operation of a station there.
This is the first entry made Into
this county by the Oregon growers,
and is the outgrowth of a campaign,
fostered by the farm bureau here, to
stimulate co-operative marketing.
75 ACRES NEEDED
Surveys of other districts in the
county are to be made in the near fu
ture and it is probable that other dis
tribution points for Clackamas coun
ty produce will be established thru-
out the county. At Canby, a total of
75 acres or more of loganberries was
needed to be signed upon the associa
tion contract in order to form a suffi
cient basis to establish the organiza
tion in charge of the shipping point
there. Last year, there was no effi
cient organization. A . large part of
the berry crop, according to the farm
Bureau's statements, was lost through
inability to reach the markets, a de
fect which they claim the co-operative
system under a statewide organization
will rectify.
SCOPE IS WIDE
Although the loganberry industry
here has been taken as the nucleus of
the receiving station here, it is un
derstood that other small fruits will
be handled, if acreage can be secured
which Is large enough to warrant
shipments in considerable quantity.
The association will maintain a ware
house here, supervising the distribu
tion completely in the same manner
as it is handled through other points
over the state.
Local growers are in hopes that
they will thus secure a wider range
for their products. Last year, con
siderable money was lost due to the
low price which their fruit command-
ed in the markets of this vicinity,
marts further east, where, due to
the shortage, a much higher price pre
vailed. ACTION SIGNIFICANT
The establishment of the Oregon
Growers at Canby is regarded as an
entering wedge which will pave the
way for the further development of
cooperative marketing over the coun
ty. The survey was made by Earl
Pearcy and M. Bean, representatives
of the association. They were suc
cesful in getting over 100 acres in
and around Canby, where the berry
industry will be carried on, so that
the members of the old Canby Grow
ers' association -will market their ber
ries next season through the state as
sociation. This will be ready for bus
iness when the first berries will be
placed on the market.
The officers of the local associa
tion will act ag a committee, and are
J. H. Mitchell, president; R. E. Cher
rick, vice-president; C- H. Sheldon,
secretary; J. E. St. Clair, treasurer.
This committee will look after the es
tablishment of the station here and
also foP receiving and shipping the
berries.

fine berries grown and marketed. The

luscioua strawberries, but Logan and

STATION FOR HUBBARD
Extensive Organization Is to
Be Developed Throughout
Clackamas County Soon.
J SALEM, Or., Jan. 25. (Special)
1 Following the announcement that the
Oregon Growers Cooperative Associa
tion will establish a receiving station
at Canby, comes their decision also
to operate a branch at Hubbard.
This action was taken following a
meeting of forty berry growers of the
Hubbard, Donald district recently
at Hubbard to consider joining the
association.
FIELD MANAGER TALKS
M. O. Evans, field manager, explain
ed the work of the association and
fourteen growers signed up. A three
days membership campaign by volun
teer committees of growers aided by
two members of the Field department
resulted in a total membership of 42
with 209 acres mostly berries. Sev
eral more growers are yet to be visit
ed in that section.
One hundred and fifty-one fruit
growers in the Willamette valley have
joined the association during the past
five weeks. Sixty-five of these are
in the Newberg-Springbrook.Dundee-Dayton
district, 42 in Hubbard-Donald
section, and 40 around Canby and
Aurora. Meetings were held in each
district followed " by membership
drives by local committees of grow
ers assisted by representatives of the
field -department of the association.
These additions bring the total mem
bership of the association to 2042.
700 ACRES SIGNED
More than 700 acres, 450 of which
are in full bearing, are owned or op
erated by these 151 growers. This
additional acreage consists mainly of
loganberries, strawberries and black
cap raspberries- New receiving sta
tions will be established at Hubbard
and Canby and increased facilities
provided at Newberg.
The fruit acreage controlled by the
association has steadily grown and
now amounts to more than 32,000 of
which 23,000 are In beariDg. A large
percentage of that originally signed
as non-bearing will be in bearing this
coming season.

JACK' FROST IS
GIVEN PARDON BY
JUDGE CAMPBELL
Sentence Hanging Over Local
Man for Manslaughter Is
Quashed by Order of Court
After Year's Suspension."
SUIT OVER DEATH IS
STILL HANGING FIRE
Lengthy Penitentiary Term Is"
Revoked; Responsibility for
Killing Not Held Personal.
Complete pardon for the killing of
Alec DeFord was granted D. EI (Jack)
Frost by Judge J. U. Campbell .Wed
nesday. Frost was convicted of man
slaughter Marcn 22, 1921.
DeFord was shot on the night of No
vember 22, 1920 by Frost when the
former, believed to have been intoxi
cated, made an attempt to escape
from Ed. Surfus, then a night officer.
Frost, after DeFord died of wounds,
was placed under $5,000 bail, and was
indicted by the grand jury January 13,
1921. He was convicted March 22,
and sentenced to serve three years
years in the penitentiary.
. PARDON COMPLETE
The sentence was suspended b y
Judge Campbell, and his order of par
don completely exonerates Frost.
The DeFord case gave rise to com
plicated conditions here. While
Frost, who shot the man, supposedly
at the officer's request, was being held
for trial, a private autopsy was per
fprmed on the dead man's body by
Dr. H. S.' Mount. He arived at the
conclusion that the man did not die
of bullet wounds but from blood
poisoning, aggravated by the injuries.
SUIT STILL PENDING
His bill to the county court was at
tacked in a petition to withhold pay
ment signed by a number of local doc
tors, and Mount in return sued the
physicians for $50,000 libel on the
grounds of statements in the petition
alleged to have reflected upon his
standing as a physician. The case is
still in court.
