The Quartermaster-General's office an nounced Tuesday that hereafter the War Department will ship all dried fruits overseas in a thoroughly dried condition and not as usually found on retail markets. Inquiry at the Quar termaster's office elicits the explana tion that this means that fruits must not be subjected to a steaming proT cess after drying, which process puts much moisture back in the fruit. The reason given for the regulation is that it will save freight space and avoid any danger of the fruit spoiling. In addition it is probable the War De partment has not overlooked the fact that It will net more fruits for its money.

The proposed launching of a test case to determine the right of Judge J. Stan ley Webster to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Fifth District, after resigning from the Supreme Court, is an impor tant development of the campaign here today. Porter Separated From 12 Mellow Quarts. William Jasper Picked Up With Load of Old Crow. .TT'OITRE a wonderfully smart man, X Mister Officer," remarked Wil liam Japper, ebony-faced porter, as he was Intercepted at Ninth and Hoyt streets yesterday morning. "This here suitcase wasn't makin a noise like I owned it, sah, a-tall, but I guess -you've got me connected up with it, all right." Patrolman Sorenson commandeered the suitcase and escorted Jasper to po lice headquarters. The luggage was pretty heavy and the officer's sus picions were confirmed after the offi cial count showed that the suitcase contained one dozen quart bottles of "Old Crow." The liquor was not of the "Aged-ln-the-woods" variety, but of better product than the average of the bootlegger's article, the labels indi cated. Jasper is well known to the police. He has been up several times for vio lating the prohibition law. So It was decided to fix ball this time at $1000. ALLEGED FORGER IS TAKEN Frank Worthington to Be Held for Federal Investigation.

KERRY'S TUNNEL NOW OPEN Resumption of Normal Log Move ments Decidedly Pleasing to Fir Control Board Head and Oregon Millnicn. Between 750,000 and 1,000,000 feet more timber in the shape of logs for shipbuilding and for the spruce- I production organization is being deliv ered daily than has been the case since April 24r when Kerry's tunnel, through which logs as far back as the Nehalem country were being brought to the Columbia River, blocked by a cave-in. Delivery of the first logs moved through since was made yesterday at Portland, the tunnel having been reopened late Sunday. H. B. Van Duzer. of the Fir Control Board, made known yesterday that the normal movement of logs had been re sumed a fact that was decidedly pleasing to him, as well as some of mlllmen. Since the tunnel became blocked it has proven a task on log gers to supply all demands, while a greater effort was necessary on the part of mills to keep up with the needs of the shipyards and the spruce force. For various reasons the blocking of the tunnel was not given much pub licity, but with the officials of the Fir Board and Emergency Fleet Corpora tion it was viewed as a serious obsta cle. The ability of loggers and mill men to keep up the supply of material. regardless of the daily output from the Isehalem district, is looked upon as an excellent demonstration of what can be done in an emergency arising from any single log-producing section being cut off. Not a single ship was de- layed as far as her hull construction figured by the accident. Also, the blocking of the tunnel en abled the logging crews to pile up considerable material to be hauled out when the way was cleared and quan titles of logs will now be dumped into the Columbia. The outlet on the river Is at Kerry's, formerly knewn as the old Wood's landing, being below Clats- kanie. The logging road connects with the North Bank road on the lower river and taps a territory where excellent specimens in the way of fir and spruce are to be cut.
