at 40 cents a dozen.

G. Clifford Barlow, president of
the commercial club, presided over
each meeting and at all but the

The first was a public meeting
whereat a well-signed petition was
presented requesting that the War

petition that was unanimously ap
proved at the prior public meeting,

Operations on Upper Columbia
Cease for Season.
STEVENSON, Wash., July 28.

lumbia river has reached the stage
where fish wheels here in the gorge
can operate no more for the sea
son. The , spring catch has been
large considering the number of
nets on the lower Columbia, it be
ing a wonder that any fish at all
got through.
The Warren Packing company's
wheel caught more than 200 Jons,
the McGowan wheel nearly as much
and private wheels brought the
total to about 500 tons. Very tew
large fish were taken, the catch
being mostly bluebacks, the choicest
and best fish, that comes in ths
river.

Oregon Growers Co-operative As
sociation to Revolutionize
Packing Method.
SALEM, Or., July 28. (Special.)
The process of handling berries and
other fresh fruit by the cold-pack
method will be practically revolu
tionized by the new process-put into
use for the first time this year by
the Oregon Growers' Co - operative
association. Barreling and subse
quent refrigeration of the fresh ber
ries have been practiced for some
time, but this has been supplanted
by the use of five-gallon lacquered
cans. . The fruit is placed in cans in
fresh condition and sealed, after
which they are frozen hard and
placed in cold storage.
The advantages claimed for this
process are that the frunit is cooled
in less time, containers are small,
which encourages a greater distri
bution amoftg consumers of small
quantities and because of their size,
the cans are less expensive to nan
die.
It is reported that the association
has packed a considerable quantity
of berries and other fresh fruit by
this process as an experiment. Fruit
which has been in cold storage for
a considerable- time is said to be in
splendid condition.
