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.

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

but it has created Increased freight

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.

"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

Councilmen the Mayor getting 175 and
each Councilman $35 a month and the
recall petitions followed. Counctiman

A movement to secure the commis
