Nearly all the growers In this county win

that can be had without difficulty, as
there is plenty of capital willing to risk J

A. B. VOORHIES, OF THE GRANT'S PASS COURIER.
A E. Voorhles. publisher and proprietor of the Rosue River Courier, was born near
GreenUUe, Mich., June 6, 18C9. His early life was spent in the neighboring town of Stan

In 1S91 Mr. Voorales came West, locating: in Portland, and working for a number of years

FARMERS' POOLS PAY
BIARIOX COTJJiTT GROWER SELL
OATS AT HIGH PRICE.
22,000 Bushels Go at 37 Cents,
Which Is 3 to 4 Cents Above
the Market
SALEM, Aug. 17. Attorney M- "W.
Hunt, of this city, reports that about 30
farmers residing near Whlteaker formed
a pool of their oat crop and sold the lot,
consisting of 22,000 bushels, at 37 cents
per bushel, -an advance of 3 to i cents
over the market price. Most of the farm
ers who took part In the formation of this
pool were interested in. the wheat pool
which was reported in The Oregonian a
few days ago, and which resulted in a
sale at an advance of 11 cents on tha
market price.
The farmers who formed the oat pool
met at Rocky Point schoolhouse and ap
pointed a sales committee, consisting of
NEWSPAPER MEN No. 18.
J. T. Hunt, K B. Patton and Adam
Burns, all leading farmers of the local
ity. The committee solicited bids for the
pool, with the result that the sale was
made to Westgate, Simpson & Co., of Al
bany, who represent Moores, Ferguson &
Co., of Portland. The peculiar feature of
the sale is that while it was made to a
Portland firm at 37 cents, the highest
market quotation for oats in Portland is
S7 cents, and If the oats are shipped to
Portland the freight must be added to the
price to determine the total cost to the
purchaser. The price recently offered foi
oats in the Valley towns is 33 and 3f cents.
The report of the sale of a pool of
wheat at Whlteaker at an advance of 11
cents on local quotations, and Tha Orego
nian's comment thereon, have attracted
wide attention in this section. M. W.
Hunt, who was a party to the wheat pool,
says that it is probably true, as The Ore
gonian says, that few will be ready to
believo the report without further evi
dence, but the farmers require no other
evidence than the jingle of the coin In
their pockets. By the formation of the
two pools they think they have received
for their wheat and oats at least $1500
more than they would have received it
they had put their crops on the market
separately.
A. M. Humphrey, a Salem grainbuyer,
says while tho farmers of Whlteaker
neighborhood received more for their
wheat by the formation of a pool. It does
not follow that the same results can be
ooiainea in an localities, or that the
Valley buyers are paying less for whea,t
than the market will warrant. He says
iuut me saie was made to the Stayton
flouring mill at an advanced price be
cause that mill requires "a certnin- nmmmt
of wheat for the year, and has only the
iunm.-uiaie vicinity irom which to buy.
wniteaker comes within the Stayton
mill's territory, and Mr. Humphrey says
that the mill simply had the choice -ot
pajing the advanced price or seeing the
viicul uauieu away to Aumsvuie or SU
verton. He says that the difference of 11
cents per bushel between Portland and
Valley prices for wheat Is. not unreason
able. The frelgtit on wheat from Salejn
to Portland, he says. Is 5.4 cents rr
bushel, and the buyers here cannot af-
iora to ciean, resacic and store the wheat
for less than 6 cents per bushel. He
thinks that reports of sales such ns ht
effected bv the Whlteaker farmers should,
not De puDiisnea. ior tne agitation of the
matter injures the. wheat business at Sa
lem. It is well known that farmers near
Salem frequently haul wheat to the flour
mills on the Woodburn-Silverton rallway-

It is said by horsemen that there are bet

speed. For the purpose of training, races
are trotted or paced, and the exhibition
lacks only the feature of prize or Tbet
wlnnlng to make It exciting.- As the track
Is in excellent condition, some good rec

track Is sprinkled until almost muddy. In

the output will be considerably Increased.
Most of the pears now being received are
from the Wallace orchard. The company
pays from $8 to $12 per ton for the fresh
fruit, the price ranging according to qual
ity. The first shipment of this year's
product of the Salem cannery will be a
