Upon invitation of J. A. Bexell. dean of the School of Commerce of the ore iron Agricultural College.

To this end It was suggested that a con ventlon be held at Corvallis under the auspices of the Oregon Agricultural College President Kerr of the college approved, and the dates were set. Statistics Are Knrolahrd. A close study of statistics furnished by George H. Tinker, manager of the Benton County Growers' Association of Corvaliis, which began the opera tion of a fruit and vegetable cannery I the Summer of 1912. gives an In night as to what may be accomplished In any of the cities of the state, and was the Inspiration for the proposed convention. The Benton County Grow ers' Association is a co-operative or ganization, composed of actual grow ers of fruits and vegetables in Benton County and In Linn County adjacent to Corvallis. When the books of the season were closed, December 1, there were 630 members of the association who have brought their products to the cannery at Corvallis during the past season. These products began v.-itlt cherries and currants In the early bummer, and consisted of strawber ries, gooseberries, raspberries, logan beriles, blackberries. beans. pears, prunes, quinces, apples, tomatoes and pumpkins. The amount of these prod ucts received for canning purposes during the season was 1,039.659 pounds, which in the finished product is equiv alent to H carloads of 44.000 pounds each, or a train of tars one-third of a. telle long. Market la Created. XTntll the cannery was placed in op eration there was practically no market for any of the raw products now mar keted by the association through the agency of Its factory. Since the asso ciation began the manufacture of its raw materials into canned products it has the whole of the United States and some foreign countries for a market. the city has an Increased payroll and the growers receive a fair price for their products. This small manufacturing establish tnent has created not only a market. but it has created Increased freight trarnc It has given employment, dur Ing the canning season, to a large num ber of employes of which 15 were men and la were women. It has created for Corvallis an additional payroll amounting to approximately 113,000 for tne year 1913. In addition to these benefits it has given employment not only to those employed at the cannery, but also to pickers of fruits and vege tables. This payroll alone is estimat ed at not less than $2500, and for It this manufacturing plant Is responsible. The local development committee of the Corvallis Commercial Club is large ly responsible for the fact that this association was organised and the fac tory was Installed. again Friday on the tide-data municipally-owned streetcar line project, as a result of the storm of protest that went up over the agreement with the street railway company the other day, whereby the company was to build and operate the line In return for a 1 per cent reduction in Us gross earning tax. By today's change of front (be special bond Issue election originally set for December 30 and called off this week by the Commissioners, was brought to life again. The election was to be for the purpose of giving the people oppor tunity to vote on a proposed JS7.U00 bond Issue to build a city line. Under the latest plan the final read Ing of the franchise ordinance cover ing the agreement with the street-car company is postponed until January.

E EXPENSE PLEA IS GIVEN Recent Tax Levy, M'hieh Runs Up to IS Mills, Last Mraw Which "Breaks Camel's Back" and Demand for Action Heard. MEDFORD, Or.. Dec. . fSpeclal.) Petitions are being circulated for the recall of Mayor Purdin and every mem ber of the City Council. Friends of Mayor Purdin, who was named by the Council to take the place of the late W. W. Llfert say his term does not exph-e at the coming elec tion on January 13, and therefore those who opposo him are making doubly sure by starting a recall petition. In the case of City Attorney Foss ap pointed to replace Bob Telfer the court held his term held through the unexpired term of his predecessor so this precedent at least supports the friends of the Mayor. The failure of the present city ad ministration to curtail city expense in spite of the fact that conditions de manded It. Is the main cause for the recall movement. Medford grew rapidly up to 1911. but common with other communities In the country the growth since then has been less. Instead of reducing municipal ex penses Just as all business men have reduced their running expenses the city fathers have retained the same force in all departments, maintained two automobiles which have been used for fishing parties and excursions. It is alleged, and In general been Indifferent to and defiant of the pleas of the tax payers to start active retrenchment. The straw that "broke the camel's back" was the recent tax levy which Increased the levy I.l mills or a total of 12 mills, and aroused a storm of protest which has not been equalled In the city history for many years. An initiative petition was circulated for an amendment to the city charter cutting off the salaries of Mayor and Councilmen the Mayor getting 175 and each Councilman $35 a month and the recall petitions followed. Counctiman Stewart being the first victim named A movement to secure the commis sion form or city manager form of government finds considerable favor. It is the present plan first to secure com petent and representative business men as members of the Council and then go about the business of redrafting the charter.
