PRUNES SOLD GREETJ
Salem Growers to Ship 30
Cars to Eastern Market.
GET 40 CENTS PER CASE
Crop Light in Eastern Washington
and Idaho, and California Ship
pers Send to Oregon for
Italian Prunes.
SALEM, Or, July 17. (Special.) A
new era in the prune business of the
Willamette Valley was ushered In today.
when the independent prune pool, rep
resenting about 2,000,000 pounds of
fruit, practically decided to accept a
proposition from the Earl Fruit Com
pany, of San Francisco, for about SO
carloads of green prunes, to be picked
and shipped to the Eastern markets at
once. The price offered is 40 cents per
crate of 2 4 pounds, the prunes to be
accepted and paid for at this rate be
fore leaving Salem. The growers are
told they will also get all that the
prunes bring in the market over and
above this figure. Each car will hold
12 tons.
The Eastern Washington and Idaho
crop has been sold green for several
years. Last year the output of that
section was 1600 tons. This year there
is a light crop, amounting to only about
350 tons, and the dealers In green fruits
are seeking to make up the deficiency
by buying Oregon's Italian prunes,
w;hich are admitted to be better than
either the California or Washington
products. Last year the growers of
Washington and Idaho realized 3
cents per crate of 24 pounds, or about
SO cents per bushel, for their green
prunes, which the Salem growers con
sider more profitable than selling the
fruit dried.
Leading growers state that 30 cars
can be picked from the orchards of the
members of the pool at this time and
not decrease the output of dried fruit
to any extent, as the prunes that remain
will attain a much larger gTowth than
if none were removed.
SPLENDID EXHIBIT IS MADE AT

GRESHAM. Or, July 17. (Special.)

H. M. Williamson, of the State Board
of Horticulture, was present and made

sibilities in this vicinity. The Webb farm,
which takes the lead In cherry-growing at
this time, did not compete for prizes, al
though it sent in a large display of com
mercially packed cherries, showing the
methods employed. The display was
awarded a special prize.

WOMEN OFFER INSULT
PREFER THEATER TO LECTURE
BY ANNA SHAW.
National Council of Women Badly
Divided on Question of
Equal Suffrage.
SEATTLE. Wash, July 17. (Special.)
Under the surface of the proceedings of
the National Council of Women, which
closed lta convention last night, a labor
suffrage meeting was held which the
honorary president, Mrs. May Wright,
and the retiring president, Mrs. Mary
Wood Swift, ddd not attend, because they
preferred to go to a theater. There was
an interesting contest between the suf
fragists and anti-suffragists. .The suf
fragists won, but are disposed not to
exult, saying the council has always been
for suffrage, even If some leaders of the
anti's did get into office at the preceding
convention.
The fact that Rev. Anna Howard Shaw
did not receive an Invitation to the din
ner Wednesday night to the interna
tional delegates due, say some, to the
"null" exerted by these women and that
Mrs. Swift and Mrs. Sewell preferred to
attend the performance at one of the
local theaters last night rather than go
with the rest of the delegates to the
Armor)' mass meeting where Mrs. Shaw
was to deliver the leading address, caused
considerable comment, and goes to show
that the suffragists and "anti's" in the
council have not yet buried the hatchet.

MORTAR GUN, FALLS OVER
Soldiers Have Narrow Escape In
' Accident at Fort Stevens.
FORT STEVENS. Or.. July t7. (Spe
cial.) While dismounting a 12-inch
mortar, weighing 29.000 pounds, it
rolled from its foundation and fell to
the concrete flooring several feet be
low. The immense weight of the gun.
together with the number of timbers
forced about in its fall, renders the
escape of a number of the soldiers en
gaged in work on the gun at the time
a singularlv fortunate incident.
First Sergeant Selllnger, 93d Co, C.
A. C, was struck by several flying tim
bers, and, though badly bruised, is not
seriously injured. The accident was
caused by the defective condition of
one of the timbers used in dismounting
the mortar. The gun was not dam
aged to any appreciable extent.
First Lieutenant James Prentice, who
recently conducted a record-breaking
mortar target practice at this place
has been ordered to the Presidio of
California for promotion to the rank
of captain. From there he will pro
ceed to Fort Monroe. Va, to attend the
artillery school at that post.
Small arms target practice has com
menced. The 33d company is nowflr
ing and will be followed by the 34th,
93d and 160th companies.

thought I could not live without cof

"Then I read so many articles about
Postum that I decided to give it a fair
trial. I had not used it two weeks in

a different person. The headaches and
nervousness disappeared and whereas I
used to be sick two or three days out

"I had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick a day
when I thought I would experiment
and see if it really was coffee that
caused the trouble, so I began to drink
coffee again and Inside of a week I
had a sick spelL. I was so ill I was

A Leader tak can be placed in the basement or in the ground adjacent to the house, keeping the. wa er
