THE MOKXIXG OREGOyiAX. 3IOXDAY. AUGUST 17, 1903. SOUTHERN PRUNES BRISK OENUND Bulk of Abundant Crop Re ported to Have Been Al ready Contracted. BUSINESS SLOW AT SALEM Growers Secure an Excellent Yield, but Appear Cn willing to Make Sales at the Prevailing Schedule. SALEM. Aug-. 16. (Special.) Though the prune market has been open for sev eral week, very little business has been done by the packers in this part of the tate. An active business has been go ing on In Southern Oregon, however, and It Is said that the bulk of the crop in that section has been contracted. The price offered by the packers is 5 cents a pound for prunes going from 30 to 35 to the pound, and a quarter of a cent less for each additional five prunes required to make a pound. So far as learned, this price Is quoted by all the packers, With the exception that a few purchases fcave been made at a slightly higher figure by a dealer doing business in a small way for one firm in the East. Growers in this part of the state do not seem ready to sell, for they decline to make contracts. Whether they do not like the price or the terms of the new contract is not known. Price System Changed. The new system of computing the grade of prunes for the purpose of de termining the price is materially differ ent from that which has been In use in the past. The contract provides for the payment of S cents for prunes going 30 to 35 to the pound, and a quarter of a cent less for each additional five prunes required to make a pound. Prunes go ing M to fi to the pound would brine 4A cents and those going 45 to 50. which Is about what an Italian prune crop will average, would bring 4"4 cents. The price now quoted would mean about 15 a ton for crops as they run. Though packers have joined in framing a contract to be used by all. they are not entirely agTeed In Interpreting Its provisions. It will be noticed that "40 to 45" Includes six numbers if it is In clusive, and there Is nothing said In the contract to Indicate whether the first or last number 1 to be excluded in making it five. Some of the packers have said that "40 to 45" means the sizes 41, 42. 43. 44 and 45. the next lower sise beginning with those counting 46 to the pound. The difference would be very slight if the 40-45 size Included 40. 41, 42. 43 and 44. but It Is difference enough to lead to mis understanding. Disputes Are Avoided. Under the new contract, when a grower delivers a load of his fruit, five or more samples will be drawn from the bag and the number required to make a pound will be ascertained, an average of the five draughts being computed to determine the size of the prunes In the load. L'nder the new system a load of prunes averaging 41 to the pound will bring exactly the same price as those averaging 45 to the pound. In recent year it has been the practice to com pute a new price for each additional prune to the pound. The change was made for the purpose of avoiding dis putes. Prunegrowers of this vicinity generally report a very large drop of fruit in the la-xt ten days, the heavy drop being at tributed to the dry weather. Because the trees generally are not heavily loaded with fruit a very light drop had been expected, but reports indicate it will be as heavy as usual at this time of the year. There are also many reports that the prunes are smaller than usual at this season, but this is probably due to the fact that the season is late. Quite likely the growing season will lat later than usual, and by the time the fruit matures it will be as large as In previous years. Harvesting generally begins about September 5 to 8. but this year will be a week or ten days later. ENGLISH WOMAN MAKES LIGHT OF HER TRIP. Miss Gertrude Benham Has Climbed 200 Snow Peaks and Travels on Foot to See the Country. HOOD RIVER. Or., Aug. 16. (Spe cial.) Miss Gertrude Benham, an Eng lish woman who has walked over a good part of the earth's surface, ar rived at the Mount Jiood Hotel here vesterday. after having pranced In from Cloud Cap Inn, apparently as frerh as a young colt. Miss Benham enjoys the distinction cf being the only woman who ever walked from Hood River to the Inn and back again, and flouts at the Idea that she accomplished anything re markable. The distance from Hood River to the Inn Is 28 miles. In the last four of which there Is a raise of 6000 feet. According to the guests at this J skyscraptng resort who made the trip in an automobile. she was less fatigued than any of the party staying there, and entertained the guests on the evening of her arrival with an Interesting narrative of her adventures on foot In many countries. Shod in broad-soled shoes and armed with an alpenstock. Miss Benham left Hood River Thursday morning at 8 o'clock and reached the Inn at T that evening, a small handbag, all the lug gage she carries with her, having been sent up by the auto. Friday morning she was ready for the ascent of the mountain, despite the fact that a high wind was blowing and that the guide accompanied her with reluctance. For several hours they battled with the wind and Ice. but finally were forced to turn back when near the summit, owing to the velocity of the wind, which the guide told her made It ex tremely perilous to continue farther. Descending the mountain. Miss Ben hair' walked back to Mount Hood post office, a distance of 14 miles, where she remained for the night, and yes terday walked Into Hood River, reach ing hera at 1 o'clock- When asked about her trip Miss Benham said: "I was very much disappointed at not belnsr able to reach the top of Xount Hood. I have walked over a jrood part of the world and have climbed over 200 snow-capped peaks, and this Is my first failure. I think wa could have made It at that If the guide had not Insisted on turning: back. Perhaps he knew best, though. The wind was ttrrlfic. Mount Hood Is dif ferent from any other mountain I ever attempted to climb. The ascent is very abrupt. The view from it Is megniflcent. 'Why do I walk? Because I can aee the country to better advantage. I have been touring the world on foot for several years. I was born In Lon don and first started by tramping through England. From there I went to Switzerland and climbed the Mat terhorn and other snow-capped peaks In the Alps. Later I went to Asia, where I also climbed in the Himalayas. From there I walked over a good part of Australia, New. .Zealand, Tasmania and other islands "in the South Pa cific Tour valley reminds .me con siderably of the Tasmanian country on account of your timber and apple trees. Instead of pine, oak and fir. there they have the eucalyptus, which they are clearing from the land and planting orchards. They are already growing many thousands of barrels of apples mere annually -and are ship ping' them all over the world, except possibly to America. Last year I spent walking In Japan and this Summer I have been in British Columbia. I have climbed all the snow-capped moun tains there and almost all of the others on the Coast. From here I am going to Mount Shasta, where I will make my final ascent in America. In two weeks I expect to sail from San Francisco for the Hawaiian Islands, where I will do some mountain climb ing, and from there I go to South t V Colonel E. Hofer, President of the Willamette Valley Devel I opraent JLeasue, Wno Wllr Con i dart Tour at Education This Week. a i. America, where I will spend the Win ter among the mountains and seeing the couutry on foot- As you can see, I no longer care for dress. I have an Income sufficient for my needs and globe-trottir.g has taken such posses sion of me that I have become a home less tramp." E. H.

ROW 4 MILES TO ODESSA Landlady of Little Hotel Graciously Entertains Her Xeighbors From Pelican Bay Lodge Boys Seek Big Game In Mountains. USHLAND, Or., Aug. 16. (Special.) Reports which reach here from Harrl man's private hunting and fishing pre serves at Pelican Bay, 60 miles east of Ashland, on Klamath Lake, where the wizard of the railroad world is spending his Summer vacation with his family, say that Mr. Harriman is enjoying a par tial respite from the strenuous life which the seclusion of his retreat makes pos sible. A good portion of his time, however, Is taken up with hearing the reports and sending out the orders which go to and from him over the telegraph wire daily to all parts of the country, a special wire and a force of telegraphers being a part of the equipment added to the lodge when he Is occupying It. Mr. Harriman goes out rowing and fishing daily on the bay, and. is reported to have had fairly good luck angling for the gamy rainbow trout, which abound in the .waters of the bay surrounding his Summer home. Makes Social Call With His AVlfe. An amusing Incident is said to have happened the other day when the railroad magnate rowed his wife to the resort at Odessa, four miles from the Lodge. Mrs. D. M. Griffiths, the very accommodating landlady of the hotel, spying a strange boat at the wharf, with an unpretentious, bespectacled and ' stoopshouidered man mooring it, hurried down to welcome the little craft and Its occupants. ' " Asking the man who he was and what accommodations were desired, the man replied: "My name is Harriman, and we are neighbors of yours who are living up here at the Lodge, four miles distant. We have come to pay a friendly call and to see your place." Mrs. Griffiths was equal to the occasion and welcomed the visitors heartily, as she does all her guests. Boys Go After Big Game. The Harriman boys have been out hunt ing far back in the Cherry Creek Moun tains, two days' travel from the Lodge, guided by a well-known local hunter, Gus Melhase. and they are fully expected to secure big game this trip. Last year they went into the woods with great eclat and trappings enough to scare all the game from inhabiting the township and came back to the Lodge empty-handed. They are wiser this season and are believed to be working upon the proper system to achieve results. Ashland is furnishing the supplies of fresh fruits for the Harriman family dur ing their stay at the Lodge, and supplies are sent out regularly from here by stage. ROADS IN CHEWS EXCEL SEASOX'S COST FOR SYSTEM WILL BE $250,000 Plans Being Prepared for the Im mediate Improvement of High ways Throughout the County. MOXTESAXO. Wash., Aug. 16. (Spe cial.) Chehalis County can now boast of one of the best systems of public roads in Washington. By the end of the pres ent season $250,000 will have been expended on highways, and the trunk line through the county to the ocean beach will be In excellent shape. It is claimed that this is the only practical automobile route from the interior to the ocean beach north of California. The run can be made from Montesano to the beach, a distance of 36 miles, in a trifle over two hours. The roads are. well built and what with gravel and cement there will be a system nearly perfect. The cost in some parts of the county is as high as $6732 per mile. This was the average cost per mile of the last link of the trunk line through the county, the Montesano-Aberdeen road, over which the. first vehicle passed one year ago this month. This mam trunk line, when completed, by October 1, will be 62 miles In length. There are also numerous branch 'and short roads, among which are the Kirk patrick. 11 miles long; constructed at a NTY-EIGHTH structure a smooth, finished appear ............... '1 ! STREET.
