the work is being- carried on. They are
men who have families and cannot go
into the lumber camps. They work in
the harvest-fields and at other work in
their own communities during1 the right
seasons of the year for that work,
and they ffnd means of keeping their
families from starving during the Win

such other work as they may find in

live.
"I am satisfied that what highway
work is going on will in no manner in
terfere with the progress of Govern
ment work, or the progress of work in
mills turning out materials -and sup
plies for the Government.
"The work, in fact, has beeiv held
down all the season to the lowest pos
sible notch to aid extraordinary condi
tions which have arisen. We have con
tracted for a. large amount of work,
but the bulk of it will not start until
next Spring and what we are doing now
is a benefit to all concerned, rather
than a detriment to any industries."

Prunes of every size and shape, rep
resenting every pack in the Pacific
Northwest, are included in an at
tractive exhibit installed at th Land
fhow in the Public Auditorium 'yester
day by Robert C. Paulus, manager of
the Salem Fruit Union and also presi
dent of the Oregon State Horticultural
Society. The display is one of the most
complete ever made of this product in
the state.
Few residents of Oregon have knowl
edge of the magnitude of the prune
growing Industry in this state and the
extent to which it is growing. Ac
cording to the estimate of Mr. Paulus
there are In the state 1000 prune.
, growers,-caring for orchards aggregat
ing 15,000 acres and operating between
400 and 500 evaporators. An addi
tional 10,000 acres will come into bear
ing in the next three or four years,
not to speak of a further increased
acreage that is being planned annually.
Price HlKft. Crop Short.
"The prune crop this year will not
exceed 20,000,000 pounds, as against
42,000.000 pounds last year, but the
price this year has averaged $30 a ton
more than in 1916, whenv the prevailing
price to the grower was approximately
$125 a ton," said Mr. Paulus yesterday.
"The 1916 prune crop yielded approxi
mately $3,000,000 gross in this state,
while the lighter yields even at the
higher prices now prevailing, will this
year bring the producers probably not
more than $1,750,000." -
Gus Miller, of the Hood River-apple
district, with Jiis exhibit of apples, is
prepared to give visitors to the Land
Show unquestioned proof of the possi
bilities of intensive cultivation coupled
- with concentration of effort in the
proper care of a limited acreage of Ore
gon ground. Mr. Miller is the owner of
a tract of nine acres, situated about
"five miles from Hood River on the east
eide.
With the assistance of Mrs. Miller
and two children, he personally at
tends to cultivating the land and
harvesting the crops. He raises only
Yellow Newtown and Spitzenburg ap
ples, using the space between the trees
to growing strawberries, vegetables
and such stock feed as he requires.
Land Yields $t.1GO Ier Acre.
This year he sold $1300 worth of
strawberries alone. Including the sale
of his apple crop and- other products
of the nine acres Mr. Miller said his
receipts for the year aggregated $2700,
or $300 an acre.
Iurlng the San Francisc exposition,
J. P. Moat, owner of a ranch near Van
couver, B. C, was attracted by an ex-
niDit or 'loggenburg goats from a
Southern Oregon farm. Yesterday Mr.
Moat passed the day viewing the many
attractions at the Land Show, prelim
inary to leaving last night for Riddle,
where he will purchase a carload of
these goats, valued chiefly for their
milk, and ship them to his British Co
lumbia ranch. '
Mr. Moat has arranged with a. Van
couver cheese factory to use the milk
supply from his herd, the same to be
mixed with cows' .milk in the manu
facture of a new high-grade cheese,
which he expects to introduce as a
"war-time substitute for the more ex
pensive brands now supplied the market.

Win, Much Applause.
Flirting With Death" is the highly
appropriate title of the topline attrac
tion on the new bill at the Strand
which opened yesterday. The Zatzams,
whose front name is Fearless or pos
sibly Lucky, present an act that bor
ders on the sensational in point of its
thrills. It is a novel combination of
llusion and knife throwing.
Short in name and long on entertain
ment is the act offered by the Shorts,
a pair of clever singers, who intro
duce new dancing steps and specialties
in new material.
Another pair of funsters are Burns
and Burke, who have had fired up for
them a fine new batch of comedy and
gentle "kidding," with pertinent per
siflage, all of it set together with ef
fective singing.
Always a' quartet comes In for a
great fclaim of attention, and when it is
a good quartet, such as the American,
on the Strand bill, then the audience
s particularly pleased and demonstra
tive. The American four have chosen
their songs with a knowledge of-vau
deville's likings and their harmonies
are of the best.
A novel act is that of Little Allrlght.
who offers Japanese Juggling, daring
balancing and excellent acrobatics.
The photoplay feature of the new
programme is "The Painted Madonna,"
an artistic and dramatic story, fea
turing Madame Sonia Markova, a beau
tiful Russian actress, who is just mak
ing her debut in the motion picture

The number of men working on state

statement by State Highway Engineer
runn Tuesday, when asked as to what
action will be taken toward recent pro
tests of lumbermen and the State Tax
payers League against using men on
state work who might be used in Gov

"My instructions from the commission
have been to avoid as far as possible
interfering with local conditions as far
as labor is concerned," said Mr. Nunn.
"In fact, I have been advised, to even
take polls of the men employed in the
highway camps to determine to what
extent they might be of use in lumber
camps, mills and other industries.
"The. men employed on highway work
in the camps are not the class of work
