said to have Joined the "Bison Herd of

Howell, who arrested Wilson, have been
able to find only a few of the victims.
These are all physicians. Dr. S. K.
Rosenthal Is said to have contributed
$10. as did Dr. A. N. Creadlck. Dr.

Among these were: John B. Coffey,

trict Attorney-nominee Evans, Con

Martin, Dr. Harry Lane and Tom Tracy.
Wilson was lodging with his wife at
Nineteenth nnd Washington streets,
but the officers found that he had no
baggage. He la 49 years old and gives
his occupation as that of a carpenter.
He represented that the Bison Herd
was a flourishing organisation In Cali

be initiated Into the San Francisco or
Los Angeles lodges till one was formed
here.

Wilson Is booked as a vagrant and
will be held until some of his victims

FRUIT FIELD IS SCANNED
OFFICERS OF NORTH WESTERN
EXCHANGE VISIT CALIFORNIA.
Relations Between Banks, Growers
and Associations Object of
Tour In South.
Reginald H. Parsons, president, and
Worrell Wilson, general counsel of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, have
Just returned from Los Angeles and
surrounding country, where they went
to study conditions relative to the
financing of the citrus fruit crop and
the relations between hanks, growers
and associations. Of his observations
Mr. Wilson said:
"Intelligent co-operation at home and
wide distribution abroad have brought
about the existing satisfactory condi
tions in the cltrua fruit Industry in
California.
"The packing houses really control
the fruit Industry and come more close
ly In touch with the Individual grower
than do any of our local unions in the
Northwest because all grading, pack
ing and shipping Is done by the pack
lnr houses. In many Instances the
picking Is also done by trained crews
from the packing house. The grower
simply cares for his orchards. There
fore, the packing house rather than
the grower is usually the borrower.
The packing house directors determine
the maximum amount they will need
for the season, which will run form $15.
000 to $25,000. They do not borrow
this amount, but overdraw and pay In
terest only on the amount of over
drafts. The packing house retains for
Itself a fixed amount per box. usually
12 cents, to cover expense and mainte
nance, paying the balance to the grow
er. If the 12 cents deduction has fur
nished an operating fund greater than
necessary, a pro rata refund la made
to the growers at the end of the sea
son. "The California packing house has
a wider mission than the warehouse
In the Northwest In the Northwest
the greater part of our grading and
packing must be done In private pack
ing houses at 'the grower's ranch, and
that uniformity of grade and pack must
be secured through close supervision
and Inspection by inspectors rather
than by having all the fruit pass
through the same hands. Also storage
facilities are more Important than in
California. Therefore tho warehouse
receipt can be used as a factor in bor
rowing: it Is never used In California.
"The Central Exchange In Los An
geles maintains a large number of sell
ing agenclea throughout the country,
and Is responsible for opening new
markets. This- Central Exchange is
operated at a expense of approximate
ly $50,000 a month, but has a paid-in
capital of only $1600. It is necessarily
an extremely heavy borrower at the
beginning of the season.
"A prominent Northwestern grower
has suggested that it Is no more a de
parture from the mutual and co-operative
Idea for a central exchange to
borrow Its capital required for start
ing from a number of stockholders,
agreeing that they shall receive a fixed
but limited annual return on' their in
vestment, than it Is to borrow the op
erating capital from a bank. With the
bank loan the money borrowed must
be returned at a fixed date, while
money paid In on stock subscriptions
forms X continuous loan that consti
tutes working capital. It is my be
lief that this idea Is the key to suc
cess In the Northwest.
"During the California trip I was
Impressed by the following facts:
"Fruit growing is like manufactur
ing In that it Is a waste and a loss
to increase your outpflt unless at the
same time you constantly widen the
demand for your product and open up
new markets. As new markets are

opened there must be a scientific sys
tem of distribution.
"That proper distribution of a per
ishable product like fruit may be made,
the central selling agency must be In
direct touch with the principal mar
kets every day during the marketing
season. Responsible representatives In
each such market are required, each of
whom must daily- turnish his quota of
Information to a compreuenslve bulle
tin system. With a perishable product
and a fluctuating market traveling
salesmen absolutely cannot fill the hill.
"The central marketing' agency and
the various marketing representatives
must be connected and protected by an
efficient traffic department. This traf
fic department, through knowing the
exact condition of each car. can pre
vent unjustifiable rejections. can
promptly collect claims from the rail
roads and can secure the highest Prices
for fruit by routing a car into the right
market at the right time."'
