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. For

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.

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
struggle of the Westerner to win his
sweetheart back to the glorious free
dom of the cattle country is the theme
of the Pallas feature. A Bray-Gilbert
silhouette and a Nestor comedy will
also be offered.
"Flying Torpedo" at Columbia.
"The Flying Torpedo," a detective
war story of 1921, featuring Bessie
Love and John Emerson, together with

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,"

brother in the cast, comprise the double
bill, which opens today at the Majestic.

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.

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
