Assurance that the broadcasting

after testing out last night, the set

I
EPISCOPALS TO FINISH CON
FERENCE FRIDAY.
Business Session and Election of
Officers for Coming Year
to Be Held.'
OREGON CITY, Or., July 20.t
6pecial.) The Episcopalian confer
ence, which is being held in Glad
stone park, will be closed Friday
night with a business meeting and
election of officers for the coming
year.
In an address on "The Narcotic
Evil, Its Curse and Its Cure."
Canon W. H. Bliss, rector of the
Trinity church of Seattle and father
of the White Cross league, declared
that the so-called drug habit is not
a habit, but a 'disease. ;
Rev. Mr. Bliss advanced the
theory that the taking of the drugs
sets up a natural antidote in the
body. This antidote, the speaker
said, demands the constant use of
the drug to counteract it, and it is
the antidote and not the drug that
causes the craving. He also stated
that it is this antidote which
poisons the body.
The canon stated that there is
an erroneous opinion that prostitu
tion creates drug addicts, and de
clared that the real fact is that
the use of the drug creates prosti
tution. He said that as the craving
of the victim grows greater and
greater, the expense attached to the
use of the drug grows in propor
tion to the use and that the victim
then resorts to any means to ob
tain the price.
Rev. Mr. Bliss stated that in this
country alone there are at present
more than 20,000 persons engaged
in the narcotic traffic and that, ac
cording to figures obtained from the
police, there are in the city of Port
land about 6000 addicts.
FRUIT CHUBS ACTIVE
NORTHWEST PRODUCTS FACE
KEEN COMPETITION.
Crops in East Indicate Lowe:
Prices in That Region That
Quality Must Overcome.
E. A. Clark, president of the
King's Food Products -Manufacturing
company, returned yesterday
from an extended trip into the mid
dle western and eastern fruit areas,
where he investigated the markets
for western fruit products and
familiarized himself with the stand
ard of fruit products of the east
with which the western grower,
canner and packer has to compete.
Mr. Clark said that the fruit
crops are the best that have been
grown in years and that the west
ern concerns will have to maintain
strictly their high standards of
production in order to meet with
their former reception by eastern
jobbers.
"The northwest packers will have
to uphold their standards of 'qual
ity packing' to compete with the
low prices of the east," said Mr.
Clark. "Our only hope is in the
quality of our product. From my
talks with the principal jobbers I
gathered that the jobbers are pur
chasing only the staples which they
know they can sell. The Jobbers
believe that things are at a . new
normal, but they are not going to
"stay there. They are all conserva
tive in their buying."
BEACON STREET FAVORED
South Portland Bridge Committee
Decides on Site for Span.
At a meeting of a sub-committee
of representatives from southeast
ern districts which has been inves
tigating sites lor the proposed
bridge across the Willamette river
it was decided last night that the
most favorable site was the line
running on Grover street, with the
approach on Kelly street on the
west side, and on the east side the
line of Beacon street with the ap
proach on Beacon.
It was figured that the bridge
would be 3635 feet long, 54 feet
wide, allowing 36 feet roadway and
four lines of traffic.
