FRUIT JURORS PUZZLED Investigation Has Been Started Tlvat May Go Into Minute Detail and Oregon Growers Arc Asked t to Give Information. Tt" ANNE SHANNON MONROE. OREGON KXPGS1TION BUILDING, Pan Francisco. Sept. 20. Now comes the bomb! Just as everybody is rounded up on the loganberry juice list, sampling loganberry juice, order ing loganberry juice, planting logan berries, scrambling for evaporated ones and- turning back from scientific cookery to the good old New England pie habit, here comes the pronounce- ment that they are all wrong. It is not the loganberry that is tickling the exposition palate; it is not the logan berry whose fame has run from ocean to ocean, exciting the thirsty Broad wayites and sending the studious to reference libraries to learn its history; it is not the loganberry that has made the soda fountain man sweat with rage because he had it not and knew it not; it is not the loganberry that has gone joyously down the throat of our ex-Secretary of State, thereby ex citing the animosity of the late favor ite, grape juice. No, there is such a drink, but it is positively not the loganberry. It is the phenomenal berry, an improve ment on the loganberry, brought to its fine juice-making, pte-filling, firm-nnd-easlly-shlpped state through the scientific work of the wizard, Luther Burbank. Jlnrbnnlc Himnclf Says So Mr. Burbank says so. He visited the Oregon horticultural exhibit, he lifted the jars of rich red berries in their fiery liquid, one after another, all labelled "loganberries," and he said: '"These are not loganberries they are phenomenal berries my berries." lie went on and explained the dif ference. According to Luther Bur bank, the loganberry is a dullish red, a soft rather mushy berry, not easily shipped. He improved the loganberry and made it the berry of commerce; he called it the phenomenal; and some one planted the phenomenal In the "Willamette Valley and it got its start in Oregon, and the loganberry, being older than the phenomenal and better known, got the credit. Mr. Burbank made no protest; he does ..not protest now; he does not even ohjoct, seriously; he only says, with that calm, dispassionate persis tence of one who knows, one who has the indisputable fact in his posses sion: "The berry you are exploiting Jn Oregon as the loganberry is in real ity the phenomenal." FrrMh Fruit Juror h Perplexed. This is interesting to horticulturists. Professor V. W. Ktubenrauch, of the fresh fruit jury and professor of hor ticulture in the University of Califor nia, is perplexed. He looks- from a Jar of loganberries to a jar' of phe nomenala and shakes his head and pays he must know the truth. He has sent letters out in many directions, and he is now trying to trace the Ore gon loganberry to its first Oregon an cestor. He wants the name of the first person in Oregon who planted loganberries. He wants to know where this person got his first cut tings. He has started a thorough investigation which should in time settle the question. Dr. Bitting of the fresh fruit jury says he is doubtful if Judge John Lo gan of California had anything to do with the first loganberry farther than to own the garden where it originated. It might be a sport. It probably is a sport and not, as the legend runs, the result of an affinity between a rasp berry and a wild blackberry. Chief Dennlson of the Horticultural Palace does not favor the Burbank theory. He decidedly has his doubts. Professor Wickson. dean of the agri cultural department at Berkeley and a writer on the Kural Press of San Krancis:o. says he has an open mind, his opinion awaiting the results of in vestigation. Meantime the investiga tion goes on. If any grower in Oregon knows any thing that will throw light on this interesting horticultural puzzle, plea3e let that light be thrown. CHILD TELLS ROCKEFELLER (Continued yrom First Page.) sent, apparently overwhelmed at this exhibition of high finance. Boys Exhibit First Aid Work. Before receiving his lecture in eco nomics. Mr. Rockefeller had been en tertained by an exhibition of "first aid" work staged by some of the boys of the school. In imitation of the reg nlar first aid teams maintained In the Southern Colorado mines, the boys, coached by their teachers and the camp physician, have organized a team and give frequent drills, one of their num ber being selected as the "patient." At Soprls also Mr. Rockefeller in spected a clump of miners' houses, which the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com pany had recently made arrangements to buy and tear down. The houses, which stand on ground belonging to the company, were built 30 years ago by the first miners, when the mine was opened. Unsightly and insanitary, they form a strange, old worn contrast to the new homes of most of the em ployes. New Homes Being Built. "But these people have stuck to those old houses, in spite of everything we could do," explained Mr. Rockefeller. "They pay only a nominal rent for the land say a dollar a year and they have steadfastly refused to move to better quarters. "Finally the company has made ar rangements to buy the houses outright, for several thousand dollars, and we are erecting new, sanitary cottages on the hillside near the old settlement. I'm afraid even now we may have trouble getting some of the old-timers to take their new quarters when we get them built." Leaving Soprls the party motored to Morley, one of the newest mining camps in the district. Here the cot tages are practically all of cement con struction and the "company store" stands on the brow of a steep bluff is built in Spanish mission style. Returning to Trinidad from .Morley, Mr. Rockefeller stopped for a brief visit at Starkville. The day's work practically completed the round of Colorado Fuel & Iron Company camps in Lu Animal County.

Merrell was forced to jump from the sulkey as he was hit by the horse's hoofs with each step. The racer start ed off down the track at a furious speed, and the judges in the center of the track shouted to the hundreds that lined the track to stand back. Half-way to the gate Zambell col lided with Prince Seattle, owned and driven by Fred Woodcock. In the mix up, a wheel was wrenched from Wood cock's sulkey, but he was able to stop his horse. Zomdell continued his race down the track. Judges made frantic efforts to get the crowd away from the fence and the gate which opened into the track. The sulkey was flying through the air and pieces of it were contin ually hitting the animal, causing him to increase his speed. Crowd Flees Before Itnnavray.' He started across the grounds. As soon as the horse passed through the gate, the hundreds on that part of the ground began to run, but before they could get away a score had been knocked down or fell to the earth. The racer ran to the barn and en tered his stall. He was rubbed down, and later in the race won second place, while Prince Seattle took first. The race was the free-for-all trot.

Several sustained minor bruises, but left the grounds without reporting their injuries to a doctor. of the three to get out before they were suffocated or burned. Warning to Be Silent Learned. All the alleged "rings" are said to be interlocking, and those who are on the "inside" are located in many cities from Montana to Southern California. A month ago while the investigation was at its height, and shortly after Currier had been arrested, an alleged member of the "syndicate" came to Portland from California to warn the Portland members to "sit tight" in the face of the exposures. His presence in the city was discovered and the officers trailed, him. . .. This visitor, whose name is known to Mr Evans, conferred with one of the women members of the "syndicate." They dined together at a down-town grill. When they came out Fire Mar shal Jay Stevens, in his automobile, was waiting outside. He had placed a "jitney" sign on the car, and solicited the patronage of those he was watch ing. Fire Marxh.nl Jitney Driver. They climbed in and ordered him to take them for a ride. For three hours the Fire Marshal acted as chauffeur to his suspects while he overheard their conversation. At the end of the ride he charged them $1 an hour for the use of the machine.
