BAX.EM, Or., July 15. Circuit Judge R. P. Boise has t rendered a decision In which he holds that in Justice Court trials a party Is entitled to have a Jury drawn from the regular Jury box as provided In section 2097, of chapter 7, of the Justices' Code. The question arose In the case of Mary Ramp vs. W. G. Iaws, which was tried some time ago In Justice Johnson's Court. The plaintiff demanded a jury drawn according to the section quoted but Justice Johnson over ruled the demand and ordered the Consta ble to pick up a Jury of his own selec tion, as provided by the new law govern ing practice in Justice Courts. The case was taken to the Circuit Court on review. It was contended that the new law passed In 1899 repeals tho old law by Implication, as It provides a mode of selecting juries. Judge Boise holds that the two laws are not repugnant and that both stand. If both parties are willing the jury may be picked up by the Con stable as he1tty sea fit, but If either party demands a jury from the regular jury list, his demand must be granted. When the new law was passed it was generally accepted as superseding the old law and Justices of the Peace discon tinued making jury lists and keeping Jury boxes. Under Judge Boise's decision it will be necessary for Justices to be pre pared to furnish Juries by the old method. As the law was general in Its applica tion, this ruling will be of Importance to Justices In all parts of the state. Prnne8roTe, Aasociatlon. The "Willamette "Valley Prune Asso ciation, the Incorporation of which was briefly mentioned in yesterday's Oregon Ian, has been formed by prunegrowers of the Rosedale neighborhood for the pur pose of pooling the local prune crop. Membership in the corporation is not necessarily limited to residents of that locality, but the general plan of organi zation will make the company one of local operation. The growers who have thus organized are believers in tho frult poollng Idea, but are of the opinion that the scheme can be best worked through local organizations. By combining they hope to get better prices and reduce the cost of marketing. They will build a warehouse In Salem, convenient to ship ping facilities, and will grade and pack their fruit according to a uniform stand ard. Having control of a considerable quantity of fruit they will be In position to All large orders and can get reduced rates from transportation companies. The members of the corporation are men who have known each other as neighbors for many years and each lias confidence in the Integrity of his asso ciates. As they live close together each may be personally consulted In the man agement of the affairs of the corporation and every man will feel that he Is a part of the concern and not a third party dealing with the combine. The spirit of co-operation is expected to pre vail. The capital stock of the corporation Is fixed at &000. divided Into 200 shares of PS each. The promoters of the scheme have proceeded carefullj In their organi zation and have secured sufficient sub scriptions to the stock to insure success. The object of the organization is not to control any considerable portion of the prune crop of the state nor to control the market price of dried prunes. The growers simply desire to .be in a posi tion to market their crop at the lowest possible cost and to get for their fruit the top market price. If the association should prpve a success this season its field of operation may be extended, but for the present nothing more than a local organization is contemplated. The asso ciation will work under very favorable conditions. The Rosedale neighborhood has the best prune-producing land in this section of the state and the crop should be readily marketed. The growers them selves are reputed to be much above the average In intelligence and are optimis tic In their views. If an organization of the nature effected yesterday can be made a success anywhere. It can be at Rose dale. Progreii "With. Salem Buildings. There are frequent developments which Indicate that the department having charge of tho construction of the public building at Salem Is making progress. Recently two holes 20 feet deep were dug on' the site to be occupied by the building and samples of the dirt were sent to "Washington. This was for the purpose of determining what sort of foun dation will be necessary. It Is also re liably reported that largo Eastern con tractors are already figuring on the cost of materials, etc., for the building. The funeral of "W. C Griswold, who died In this city, July 13, was held this afternoon at Unity Church, Rev. "W. B. Copeland officiating. Deceased was 79 years old and was prominent In the early history of Salem. SAIMON ARE FROZEN. How the Fish Are Bandied In tho Modern Coltl-Storaore Plants. ST. HELENS. Or., July 15. On the banks of the Columbia River, a short distance above the ferry landing at Goble, Is a large four-story building, which Is known as tho "cold storage." It Is owned and operated "by the Trescott Packing Company. The foundation of the main building Is 100x60 feet. On entering the building from the river front the first to attract attention Is a large, airy room, where the choice steelhead and royal Chi nook salmon are received. The fish are washed and thoroughly cleansed, and laid upon large trays, which are arranged In tiers one above the other. "When a Iruckload of these trays Is filled It Is wheeled Into the freezing-room, where It remains for about 36 hours. The cars are then wheeled Into the packing-room. Here the fish are placed upon a large ele vator, or dipping machine, and submerged In a vat of Ice cold water they are then let stand for a few minutes, and a thick coating of Ice is formed around each fish. The fish are then wrapped separately, hi paper, and packed In boxes, which are put Into refrigerator-cars and shipped to the markets of the world. These hot days one would hardly think there was a place in the country so cold that workmen drris In "Winter clothing, wear mufflers and mittens; yet we find Just this condition In the packing-room. A stay of five or ten minutes In this room causfes the ears to tingle, and one soon longs for the haying weather of the out side world. The dally output of this con cern Is all the fish It can get The capa city Is 10 tons per day. but It cannot get fish enough to run to the full capacity. Paid a. Visit to Shanlko.

The text-books adopted at the recent sitting of the state Board of Education are being received at the depository of the "Westland Pub lishing Company. The 50.000 spellers and a like number of the St. John's writing tablets have been printed In Olympla. and will be ready for delivery by July 25. The civics, entitled "Why We Vote," was printed In Seattle, and will reach heie by August 5. The geographies, histories, and physologles have been printed abroad In order to have a sufficient sup ply for the beginning of the Fall term. But the contracts will be let within the state for the publication of all books awarded the Westland Publishing Com pany, for the remainder of the five years for which the books were adopted. Speaking of the contract for furnish ing the school books to the 120.000 child ren attending the Washington public schools, A. L. Sutton, manager of the Westland Publishing Company, said: The company will furnish to the schools of the state not only Its own publica tions, to the extent of 200.000 books, but will distribute to the retailers of the state CO per cent of all the other books adopted nt the recent session of the state Board of Education. Dealers from all parts of the state are sending let ters to the general office, thanking the company for the liberal allowanco In bids on school text-books, which means a great deal to the retail dealers. Here tofore outside publishing companies hae so made their bids that the wholesale price or price paid by retailers was so extremely high that only about 10 per cent was left for the retailer. The Westland's advent In the field has changed this condition of affairs very ma terially. A glance at the prices in the official list sent out by the Superintendent of Public Instruction will show that he retailers receive from 15 2-3 to 25 per cent profit on books In tho Westland Publishing Company's adoption." Mr. Sutton will take a series of readers, an arthmetlc. history, geography, speller and the St. John's writing tab lets to Salem this Fall and endeavor to havo them adopted by the Oregon Board of Education when It holds its school book adoption. Later the spellers and writing tablets will be pushed In Cali fornia, Idaho and Montana. THE "JUNE DROP' OF PRUNES. Will Materially Lessen California's OntputThe Other Fmltsi. SAN JOSE, CaL, July 15. We have carefully gathered reports from members of this association during the past week concerning the effect of, what is known as the "June drop" on the growing fruit crop, especially prunes. Our reports are especially complete from this county (Santa Clara), which furnishes three fifths of the prune output of the state, and convinces us that the severity of the drop is unparalleled In recent years. Re ports Indicate that the drop will reduce the output 10 to 20 per cent from pre vious estimates. The drop seems to have been more severe In this county than in the state outside. In some orchards near ly all the prunes are dropping from the trees. The causes of the severe drop are, first, the hot spell that come Just at the crit ical period; second, the lack of moisture In the subsoil as a result of the light rainfall for the past few years. Only a few orchards escaped. Prunes slightly affected by the Spring frost remained en the trees until the hot wave came. The effect on the peaches and apricots has been to ripen them prematurely, thus diminishing their weight and size. The apricots are also drying out heavily on the trays. This will lessen tho total out put considerably. CALIFORNIA CURED FRUIT ASS'N. DEMAND FOR HARVEST HANDS. Wages in Umatilla County Have Ad vnnced CO Cents a Day. ATHENA. Or., July 15. There has been a marked Increase In the wages of har vest hands along the O. R. & N.. between Pendleton and Walla Walla, within the past three days, owing to the scarcity of men.

J2 Instead of $1 60: sacksewers, $3 to J4. Instead of $2 50 to 53 50. The harvest season Is In full swing. The yield Is large, up to cal culations of three weeks ago, but not equal to the sanguine predictions of phe nomenal yields made five weeks ago. Fields near Athena are making an aver age of 40 bushels to the acre, while farther north and east, near Weston, on Dry Creek, and near Milton, the yield will average more than 20 bushels. Southwestern Washington Hops. CHEHALIS, Wash., July 15. Some growers say hop lice are Increasing ard most are making preparations to do some spraying.

Streaked With Gold-Benring Veins That ANsay ?3 50 to $12 to the Ton Shortage ot Water. BLUB RIVER, Or., July 15. This dis trict is rapidly forging to the front, and is now enjoying an era of activity but little dreamed of a year or two ago. Extensive development work is being done and almost without exception claims are proving valuable.
