ENDING WASTE OF
FRUIT IS PLANNED
Selling Agency for By-Prod-ucts
to Be Considered at
Session September 10.
STANDARDIZATION ALSO UP
Committee Appointed at National
Apple Show Issues Call to Rep
resentatives of Plant in
Fonr North-west States.
The beginning- of another great move
ment for the conservation of wasted
fruit and vegetables from the farms of
the Northwest is to be founded in Port
land September 10, when representa
tives of canneries and by-product plants
will convene at the Commercial Club
to consider plans for launching a great
central selling agency, the location and
establishment of evaporating plants and
the beginning of standardization of the
manufactured goods. An effort is be
ing made to procure the attendance of
representatives of every by-product
plant "in the States of Washington.
Idaho. Montana and Oregon. Of such
high importance is the meeting con
sidered to be that all railroads have
made reduced rates for the meeting.
The committee which Issued the call
for the proposed meeting was appointed
last November at the National Apple
Show at Spokane, and consists of H. C.
Sampson, secretary of the North Pa
cific Fruit Distributors; J. F. Batchel
der. Hood River; P. P. Weyrauch. Walla
Walla; D. D. Olds, Wenatchee; J. H.
Chapman. Milton; Professor W. S.
Brown, Corvallis; C. J. DaVise, North
Yakima: M. J. Higley, Fayette; H. M.
Sloan, Florence, Mont., and Robert E.
Strahorn, Portland.
Small Plants Handicapped.
"Fruit and vegetable growers of the
Northwest states have not only suf
fered enormous losses through being
unable to sell large quantities of their
second and third-grade products, but
where canneries have existed, or other
by-product plants have operated, it has
been found that the small plant was
unable to bear the heavy expense of
proper selling." said Wilmer F. Sieg,
manager of the Western Oregon Fruit
Distributors, yesterday.
"Small manufacturing concerns have
competed with each other for a limited
market, resulting in losses, or such
small profits as to discourage many
communities engaging In by-product
manufacturing. Consequently, great
quantities of fruit and vegetables have
gone to waste each year, and In many
communities farms have been made to
produce only enough to support the
family of the farmer Instead of making
his acres profitable.
"Kight now I have an Inquiry for
6,000,000 pounds of dried apples, an or
der which, if we were able to fill It,
would turn a good many orchard losses
of last year into profits.
Marketing- Held Big Problem.
"There Is no question but that the
canneries and processors of the North
west can turn out Just as good a qual
ity of product as any concerns In the
world. They can also do it at as small
an expense, until they reach the mar
keting end or the game. That is where
failure usually finds a peg to hang its
hat on.
"It is also true, especially In con
nection with many co-operative can
neries of past years, that men were
in charge of the business who were not
skilled in the selling end of affairs.
"These things being true, the com
mittee, which has spent almost a year
In a careful investigation of the
marketing situation, will propose that
the meeting of September 10 shall
create a central selling organization
for handling the canned and by-products
of the Northwest through its
own paid agents. As I understand it,
the plan somewhat resembles that
adopted by W. H. Paulhamus,1 at
Puyallup and that of the North Pa
cific fruit distributors for handling
fresh fruits.
Standardization la Required.
"Through this plan every manufac
turer will be required to put up his
product on an identical standard, and
he will receive whatever it sells for,
less the actual cost of Its marketing.
"It is also proposed to give supervi
sion to communities having canneries
In operation and those that may de
sire to put in such plants. Skilled
processors will be found and placed in
charge of such plants, and the entire
by-product business systematized and
put on an harmonious working basis.
Our agricultural colleges will be urged
to establish technical courses for teach
ing the by-product business, and ar
rangements will be made to finance the
operations of by-product plants which
affiliated with the organization."
While In conference with members
of the committee yesterday Profes
sor W. S. Brown pointed out the grave
necessity for providing protection for
the grower of loganberries, apples,
peaches and pears.
Small Jnlee Plants Suggested.
"Experiments with loganberry Juice
axe most convincing of Its commercial
value," said Professor Brown. "How
ever, the very ripe berries which are
Just right for the Juice mills are poor
shippers. This suggests the Idea of
small local Juice plants well located
to serve the grower, and from which
the product can be economically as
sembled for manufacture Into a
marketable product.
"And there can be only one mind
concerning the necessity for large dry
ing or evaporating plants, so located
that the fruit men can ship their "C
grade fruits to them at a profit."
WOMAN FEARS LIFESAVERS
Though House Is Burning Resident
Defies Her Rescuers.
Mrs. 1 M. Clark, residing with Mrs.
K. E. Buehler, 2777 Schuyler street,
strenuously objected to being saved
from their blazing home in a fire which
destroyed the residence early yester
day, according to amateur firemen.
The fire was discovered by the crew
of a passing train. The railroad men
broke into the house and found the
two women huddling in bed while the
house was burning. Mrs. Buehler was
carried to safety and when the
rescuers returned Mrs. Clark refused
to be moved, the trainmen declare.
Pleadings, argument and protests
were of no avail and finally the frantic
"firemen," their own clothing afire,
forcibly carried Mrs. Clark from the
blazing house. She said she wanted to
get fully dressed.

SEASIDE BAND PLANS TRIP
Pendleton Round-up to Be Visited by
Party of Booster.
SEASIDE, Or.. Aug. 19. (Special.)
Arrangements are now being made by
the Seaside Band to attend the Pendle
ton Roundup in a body. The boys ex
pect to go by auto, combining a
pleasant trip with a large-sized bunch
of boosting for Seaside. In addition
to the conventional band uniform, the
members of the band have a fatigue
uniform of strikingly colored mackinaw
coats and hats that never fail to draw
a comment.
As boosters, they have shown them
selves to be leaders, among their activi
ties being the issuing of a paper at
the driving of the first piling for the
Harrlman terminals at Flavel and
another for the Fourth of July cele
bration here this year. Both were
much sought and elicited the press
comment of the entire Northwest.
DRUG USERS SENTENCED
Members of Alleged Ring to Be
Treated While in Jail.
Acting Municipal Judge Haney sen
tenced William Simmons, Charles Hill.
John Taylor, George W. Russell and
Charles Cooper to 60 days each on the
rockplle yesterday. The men were ar
rested In recent raids upon the alleged
drug ring existing in Portland.
Judge Haney, in passing sentence,
stated that the sentence was not de
signed as a punishment, but as a means
of giving the alleged dope fiends an
opportunity to take the cure. They will
be treated by City Physician Ziegler
while in Jail. Sidney Holgate, another
of the alleged fiends, was released and
his sentence continued,
ADVERTISING NOT HURT
LARGE EASTERN CONCERNS CON

Six-Point League Members at Meeting
Find Bncoaragln Siena and Pre
dict General Prosperity.
With good crops and a ready market,
freight rates settled, the new currency
law in operation and new export mar
kets opening to American trade, big
Eastern advertisers are going right
ahead with their Fall campaign of pub
licity, without regard to events in Eu
rope, according to information received
from the Slx-Potnt League, which Is
composed of special agents represent
ing leading newspapers of the country.
The following letter has been sent out
by F. St. John Richards, president of
the organization:
"At a recent meeting of the league,
attended by the New York representa
tives of 623 leading newspapers, the
effect of the war on newspaper adver
tising was discussed. The feeling was
decidedly optimistic and the general
tone encouraging.
"It was shown that steamship and
travel advertising comprise the bulk
of business that has been definitely can
celed, and that advertisers not inti
mately affected by lack of ocean trans
portation were going ahead with their
Fall campaigns. Contracts already made
are of normal proportions. The fact
that crops are good and the market
ready for them; that the freight rate
is settled; that the new currency law
is soon to be In operation and that new
export markets are to be open for our
trade, means large wealth for the pro
ducers of this country and good busi
ness for those who seek it in a reason
able manner."
Democrat Lauds Republicans.
"Vou bet I am not going to vote

a great many other Democrats in his
neighborhood who felt the same way
and were going to vote the Repub

Julius Knlgpel. Socialist speaker and
