THE 3IORXIXG OIlEGOXIAJf, THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1916. HEW FRUIT-FREIGHT PLAN IS SET FORTH ii vu a vi nil wnwrenr iiviniwiiuuini New Yorker Tells Project to Get Output of Orchards to Europe Cheaply. X OREGON GUARANTEE ASKED s ": lis T'0 i " ; ; J M Cargo Space for 30,000 Boxes ol Apples and Prunes to Be Ie served if Assurance Is Given. Other States Are included. Providing apple growers of the Ore iron apple districts rally to the support - of the proposal of K. L. Oroodsen, marketer of New York, to ship North west fruit to Liverpool by water ex clusively, the growers will be able to make shipments at one-third the rate they are now paying by rail to New York, and thence to English ports. In addressing a number of fruit producers at the Young Men's Chris tian Association last night, Mr. Good- sell, who is promulgating the scheme, declared that the rail and water rate of $1 that the producers were now paying, would, according to the pres ent tentative terms under which he was securing the bottom for direct Pa cific Coast shipment, be lowered to 33 1-3 cents from the seaport. Kail shipments from the interior districts to the point of shipment by steamer will necessarily carryan additional rate. Mr. Goodsell has visited the apple and other fruit-growing districts of Washington and Idaho, and the Gov ernors of both those states have be come so interested in -the direct water shipping of Northwest fruit that they have consented to ask the state bank ing associations of those two states to sign the charter under which the con templated shipment will be made, thus giving the best of backing to the pro posed scheme. Oregon's Space Reserved. The share 'of tonnage that has ben reserved is 30,000 boxes of Oregon fruit. While at isalem during the past week, Mr. Goodsell asserted that prune growers of that vicinity had guaran teed to take the entire space allotted to Oregon in the one shipload, but as it is desired to make an equitable dis tribution among fruit growers, both apple and prune, throughout all the fruit-growing districts of the state, such a plan could not be agreed upon. To insure the equity of the proposi tion Mr. Goodsell has obtained the good offices of the Portland Chamber of Commerce with whom the Oregon growers will co-operate in making up the cargo space which has been al lotted Oregon. In speaking to the growers last night. Mr. Goodsell made it clear that it was entirely optional with the grow ers what terms of shipment were made or who the consignee was. He is in terested only to the extent of getting a guarantee of a full cargo. Charter Plan Told. The contemplated shipment will be madr from Portland, San Francisco nd Seattle the latter part of October. -Mr. Goodsell said that he would be able to charter one of the vessels used in the shipment of tropical fruits during the Summer from New York and At lantic ports to the European market. At times, he declared, shipments of tropical fruits slackened to such a de gree that the obtaining of a vessel for apple shipments from the Pacific was quite possible. Mr. Goodsell asserted that the entire European market was available for the sale of Northwest apples. "Spain. Italy, Russia. Norway, Sweden and France produce no apples," said he, "and Eng land and Germany but very few. With the proper co-operation among the growers, and the proper advertisement of their products, the European sales should be trebled. Since the widening of the market means more demand, and since the law of supply and demand regulates prices, the growers should be alive to the opportunity the European markets offer." Mr. Goodsell left last night for the upper Willamette Valley. He will speak at the Eugene . Commercial Club this noon, and from that place will proceed sooth, later going to California. Plan Is Told at Corvallis. CORVALL1S, Or., Marcn I. CSpeclaL) Addressing the members of the Cor vallis Commercial Club and a number of farmers interested, E. L. Goodsell, fruit auctioneer of New York City, told of the plan for chartering a steamship about November 1 to carry Pacific Coast f ruif to Europe. The meeting was held at noon following the Commercial Club's Tuesday noon luncheon. A num ber of orchard men were present. He addressed the horticultural students at Oregon Agricultural College later. "Proper distribution is essential to profitable marketing, but to you on the Coast one item of great expense is transportation," he said. "By co-operation of the fruitgrowers of the states of Idaho, Washington. Oregon and California we may be able to demonstrate that the transportation cost on a box of apples to Liverpool will be reduced from $1 to 33 cents. "But you must create a demand for your fruit by telling the Eastern people about it. That is the way the citrus people of California and Florida have done and practically everybody is eat ing oranges as a result. Ninety-seven per cent of the people of the United Statos can be led by legitimate adver tising. Carry out a campaign of edu cating the people of the world to eat apples. Put printed instructions in boxes telling people the variety of ap ples contained in the box. at what time of the year it is best and suggest its uses." NO DOUBT THAT HEAL SICK SKIN When you know physicians have pre scribed Resinol for over 20 years in the treatment of eczema and other itching, burning, unsightly skin eruptions, and have written thousands of reports say ing: "It is my regular prescription for itching," "Resinol has produced bril liant results," "The result it gave was marvelous in one of the worst cases of iema," etc., etc., doesn't it make you feel that this is the treatment to rely on for your skin trouble? The moment Resinol Ointment touches Itching skins, the itching usually stops and healing begins. With the aid of Resinol Soap, it almost always clears away every trace of eczema, ringworm, pimples, or other distressing eruption quickly, leaving the skin clear and healthy. Sold by air druggists.

Columbia "The Flying Torpedo," "His Auto Ruination." Majestic "The Witch," "Horrors of War." Pickford "The Clarion." Sunset "The Upstart." -Heilig "The Ne'er-Do-Well." CARLYLE BLACK. WELL, the popu lar young romantio actor who has recently joined the player staff of the Equitable Company, makes his debut under new producing colors at the Pickford Theater in "The Clarion." a five-part feature, which opened yes terday. Coming on the heels of so many sex plays, "The Clarion" is a welcome relief an old-style melodrama involv ing mob scenes and bomb-throwing, and full of action from start to finish. The film is an adaptation of Samuel Hopkinson Adams' novel, "Certina," taking its name from a quack nostrum, which made its manufacturer wealthy. The plot is intricate, but skillfully con centrated at the end. The climax brings a mob from the "rookery," the worst section of the city, to the office of the Clarion, a newspaper, intent on destruction. Windows are smashed and bomb works devastation before the fickle crowd regains its senses. The story deals with Hal Surtaine, son of the patent medicine manufac turer, who for long is unaware of the ingredients of his father's preparation. The boy buys a paper to defend his dad. and then, seeking to conduct it along ideal lines, ostracizes his sweet heart, father and advertisers. "Igorrotes, Crocodiles and a Hat Box" is the name of a Vogue cartoon presented as an added feature. Farnum at Peoples. Dustin Farnum, one of the screen's best portrayers of virile Western types, is presented -as the star of "Ben Blair" at the Peoples Theater today. This at traction, to be screened in advance of its release date, is the production se cured by the management to replace "Out of the Drifts," the Marguerite Clark vehicle. Miss Clark will appear next Sunday in that photoplay, while next Thursday will witness the open ing of "To Have and to Hold," with Mae Murray. Winnifred Kingston will be featured in "Ben Blair," a strong story of th.e West and the lure of the East.

"The Flying Torpedo," a detective war story of 1921, featuring Bessie Love and John Emerson, together with "His Auto Ruination," a Keystone com edy with burly Mack Swain in the role of leading gloom-chaser, will comprise today's bill at the Columbia Theater. The decidedly topical "Flying Tor pedo" is an adaptation of the Jules Verne yarn, showing how the inventor of the flying torpedo saves his country. Supporting Miss Love and Mr. Emerson is a strong cast of Triangle players. "His Auto Ruination" is hailed as one of the best of the recent Sennett out bursts, and more funny than Swain's knockout, "The Movie Hero." Double Bill at Majestic. . Nance O'Neil in "The Witch." the three-reel plcturization of war's bru tality; "The Horrors of War," the Pathe Weekly, and a "Lonesome Luke," a comedy presenting "Fatty" Arbuckle's brother in the cast, comprise the double bill, which opens today at the Majestic. In "The Witch" Miss O'Neil, the powerful emotional -actress, plays the part of Zora, a girl gifted with occult powers, in a film which was inspired by Victorien Sardou's play, "The Sorcer ess." A revolution, imprisonment, es cape, capture and burning at the stake are included in the dramatic incidents. "The Horrors of War" depicts in three reels the results of European battles which make war horrible and brings that horror closer to the public. Screen Gossip.

Judge LanKKUth Declares Lack f Intention to Do Harm Justifies His Action. Members of the Portland "Walters Union, arrested last Friday by Patrol men Schum and Martin on a charge or gambling, received suspended, sentences in Municipal Court yesterday and were released. The case was another varia tion of playing lor the "treats." R. E. Dorsey.-caretaker of the union rooms, 274 Vi Stark street, was charged with conducting the game; William Pond, E. Hammond, James Parker and Rudie Ackerman were charged, with gambling, and three others were charged with visiting the place. The officers produced confiscated trade checks of 5-cent values with play ing cards, as evidence of the game they interrupted. Attorney Dan Powers pleaded for his clients, declaring that most of them were working for a min imum wage during the slack season and could not gamble if they wished. It was shown that the checks were redeemable for merchandise only. Judge Langgutn made it plain that the accused were violators of tne ordi nance, but said that he was impelled to a suspended sentence because it was apparent they meant no harm. We ruled, however, that if ehecks so ac quired were used for the purchase of anything save foodstuffs he would henceforth construe the offense as gambling TOM RICHARDSON RETURNS Former Portlander, on Visit From Texas, Slay Come Here to Stay.
