BOY SCOUT WORK IS
TO BE GIVEN IMPETUS
The Boy Scouts entertained their
girl friends in the social room of the
Congregational church Monday eve
ning. The entertainment committee,
headed by Shelby Shaver, had pre
pared a.- program of games for the
diversion of their guests and also
had ready tastefully decorated tables
set for the company with place cards
for each person. Ice cream, cake and
candy were, served with a free hand.
About thirty-five were present, includ
ing Scoutmaster Cadell and Mr. and
Mrs. Edwards as especially invited
guests. The rooms were decorated
in a way that did credit to the boys
and the music provided by the girla
added to the evening s pleasure.
The Scouts, under the charge of
R. N. Cadell are making fine pro
gress. They now have two patrols
of eight members each, the Stags
and Orols. Their weekly meetings
are devoted to business, initiations,
gymnastic work and examinations in
their attainments for. higher grade
scouting, such as telegraphy, wig
wagging, aid to injured, and camper
craft. Dr. William C. Schultze ha3
kindly given his services several eve
nings at his office in teaching first
aid to the injured. Messrs. Robert
Warner, Edwards, Legler and others
have given lessons in gymnastics. The
steady work of- the organization has
been maintained, however, by the
careful attention of Mr. Cadell who
the boys believe to be an ideal scout
master and who neglects nothing that
makes for their welfare. A' summer
camp last summer has, given exper
ience and zeal for a similar outing the
coming season. The patrols sent sev
eral delegates to the Boys' Conference
at Corvallis this winter and learned
much from the best that is being done
by boys in the state. .
The trustees of the church realiz
ing the quality of the work being done
by the Scouts and the need of better
quarters for the boys and young men
of the congregation are now enlarg

It is planned to have a handball court

contemplated for a council fire for
the Scouts and as an attractive fea

bars, a horizontal bar, rings and box

other apparatus is needed.
A young men's club is advocated

PRICE OF POTATOES
BEING MANIPULATED
That the price of potatoes is being
manipulated in .order that Califor
nia speculators can unload at hand
some profits is now the general opin
ion of the trade.
Within the space of a half dozen
weeks there has not been the slight
est improvement in the demand from
California prices at San Francisco re
maining unchanged at $1.60 to $1.85
for Oregon Burbanks.
The earliness of the season is caus
ing much concern to speculators al
though they are hiding this from pro
ducers. With new potatoes already
being offered in carload lots by Flor
ida growers It will not take long be
fore business at Middle West centers
will no longer be offered to the Pacific
Coast trade.
While there remains a very good de
mand for OregCn and Idaho potatoes
in the Middle West, prices seem to be
lower than generally anticipated. The
following circular was received from
a Kansas City house:
"The colder weather has created a
decidedly active tone to the potato
market. Arrivals are much smaller
and we must get our supplies from
your state. The shipments of Kansas
and Missouri Valley are over, and
shippers with dealers are holding for
higher prices at loading points.
"Our market is higher than last
week. We now want all kinds and all
good sorted qualities of potatoes,
straight and mixed cars. Keep your
eye on. this market, - best prices are
realized here. We have inquiries from
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma want
ten days.
Today
ing to buy car lots.
"We must have free shipments all
season, prices are better and we can
report an active demand with an up
ward tendency in prices. We want
Clorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and
Montana to send up their potatoea.
We are selling mixed large, white,
bright, clean, smooth Burbanks, Ru
rals, Russett Burbanks, Snowflakes,
Peerless, Champions, Green Moun
tain, Blooming Whites, and Mill Prize
at $1.75 to $1.90 per cental, sacked."
The freight rate on potatoes from
Eastern Oregon and Idaho points to
the Missouri river is 65c per cental,
and from " Western Oregon 75c per
cental. The same rate applies to
some points in Arizona and Texas.
