PAULHAMUS IS DIRECTOR
onator Will Handle Fruit Crop Wltli
That of Similar Organization
of Farmers of Puvallup
Valley, Washington.
' XBWBERG. Or.. Dec 30- (Special.)
Inapired by an account ariven by Sen
ator Paulhamua of what baa been ac
complished for the farmera of the
Fuyallup Valley of Waahlna-ton. S00
fruitgrower g-athered at the Newbera
Opera-house thla afternoon and aub
crlbed stock neceaaary to purchase a
cannery and flnanca fruit-aelllna; oper
ations next season. Growers will mar
ket directly to the consumer.
An offer of Senator Paulhamua to
market strawberries, a;ooaeberrle
peacbas and loganberries through the
sellinsr machinery which he has created
through 13 years of operations at
Puyallup waa accepted. The Puyailup
Kumner Association will be equally
benefited through this arrangement, for
the reason that it markets only two
classes of fruit, red raspberries and
blackberries. When assorted car lots
are ordered. Senator Paulhamus has
found himself unable to accept the
business, but through his connection
with the association at Newberg- it will
now be possible to market the berry
crop in any quantity.
Lew Rates Preaalaed.
Further impetus waa given the new
association by Robert ii. Strahorn'a
promise to co-operate in assembling
fruit crops for canning or shipment
through the operations of the new Wil
lamette Valley Line electric service,
which will be established in January.
President Strahorn promised reduced
rates on this class of business and serv
ice that "will put the berries on the
market with the dew on them."
it was an enthusiastic meeting, the
largest gathering of farmera ever held
in this section of the valley, and com
posed of men who have seen the profits
of their farm rot in the fields because
or their inability to find a market as
the fruit ripened. They believe that
the new organization means the dif
ference between a mere existencs on
the farm and homes of comfort.
Caatloa te Be Tsed.
The Newberg association will proceed
with caution, avoiding many of the
shoals that have wrecked other co
operative concerns. But if the Puyallup
Valley. Just two miles wide and seven
miles long, can produce fruits valued
at I1.000.M00 in 113, the farmers aay
the immense acreage surrounding
Newberg. Ilex. Dundee and St. Paul
will comprise the nucleus of a bigger
and better district in fewer years than
It required for Puyallup to attain such
a position.
The new association wfll hold its
next meeting in the second week in
January. Officers will be elected at it
and a constitution adopted. In the
meantime arrangements will be com
pleted for acquiring control of the old
cannery at Newberg and the local cold
storage plant. The cannery waa erected
by Bussell. of Seattle, about five years
ago, operated for two weeks and was
t-losed down through litigation. It coat
: .000. but la now under option to the
new association for $6500.
Kvery grower In the district is being
signed up to market his fruit crop
through the association exclusively.
Senator Paulhamus announced last
night that within 30 daya he will begin
contracting the Newberg berry crop for
1914. and it Is not Improbable that the
entire output of the district will have
been sold before Spring.

LOCATORS ARE ENRICHED
Idaho Partners Alleged to Have
Withheld 1O0 Shares of Stock
Received From Operating
Company In Payment.
SPOKANE. Wash, Dec. 20. (Spe
cial.) Judgment for stock worth
probably $200,000 will be signed by
Superior Judge Huneke at once in
favor of W. J. & J. B. Langley, under
a decision made by the court this
morning. In a suit started two years
ago over 17 coal-mlnlng claims now
constituting the principal holdings of
the Corbin Coal & Coke Company, Lim
ited. The judgment will be rendered
against A. J. Devlin and Alfred Fage,
of Wardner, Idaho, charged by the
Langsleys, In a sensational complaint,
with double-dealing when the Lang
leys and defendants were equal part
ners in the claims sold out to D. C.
Corbin In 1905. The judgment will be
for two-fifths of 1000 shares in the
Corbin company, or 400 shares, worth
now about $500 each.
Judge Huneke found that when the
claims were sold to Corbin the two de
fendants reported that only $100,000
was obtained by them, whereas, by
fraud, 1000 shares of stock in the coal
company formed to operate the claims
were also part of the consideration.
He found that the defendants divided
the $100,000 among the partners, but
kept the shares. Tne Judgment will
be for two-fifths of the sharea, which
the court decided the plaintiffs, by
reason of their partnership with the
