Tender the name. Producers' Traffic Service Bureau, a corporation is being formed with head offices at Portland, the purposes of which are to protect and aid the fruit and produce shipping associations and organizations in all traffic matters. The first large task that the bureau has undertaken is to attempt to have the embargo upon dried prunes raised to the extent of permitting to land one cargo from Oregon and Washington. E. L. Goodsell, of New York, former ly of London, has just returned to New York from two months passed in Euro pean markets, and writes, that he be lieves that if the .Governors of Oregon and Washington will lend their sup port there is a strong possibility that the English government will make spe cial dispensation. The order of the English government Is not ironclad at the present time, as English firms under certain conditions are allowed to import a limited amount of dried prunes. Kleld of Bureau Unlimited. The bureau which is being organized will not control marketing arrange ments for their employers, but will occupy the field which has to do with obtaining proper routing, icing and in spection and with the promotion of direct shipments by water from the Columbia to both foreign and domestic markets. ' "In obtaining the enthusiastic co-operation and aid of E. L. Goodsell," says Arthur M. Geary, attorney for the bu reau, "we hope to leave no stone un turned towards direct shipments of ap ples. Winter pears and dried fruits to the different markets of the world. In our efforts to obtain permission from the English government to land one cargo of dried fruit in England this Fall we may fall, although Mr. Goodsell has the assurance that such a proposal, backed by the officials of the state, will receive the serious consideration of the English government. "There is no man in the United States today that is better versed in fruit Bhlpping conditions. Mr. Goodsell's firm In New York handles every bunch of bananas that the United States Fruit Company offers for consumption in New York. His work for many years has been to make frequent trips to Sicily and Spain, where he, arranges lor the shipment to the United States of cargoes of lemons and Almeria grapes. Work of Bureau Outlined. "In my investigation of the different large city markets of the country dur ing the last year and a half I have been impressed continually with the need the fruit shippers of the North west have for a co-operative bureau of the nature of the one that is being formed, which will care for their in terests from the time the routing is decided upon until the fruit is Bold and the full returns received by the shipper. "That some speculating Jobbers and commission men frequently misrepre sent the condition of the shipments is true. "The general manager of the bureau Is to be J. M. Johnston, formerly freight solicitor and rate expert for the Dodge & W. R. Grace Steamship Company. He also has had extended railroad of fice work and is well qualified to help the shipper. "Mr. Johnston's experience in ship ping also will be of value, as the big fight that the shippers must make is for direct shipping. Even at present tonnage rates, apples could be sent to England at the saving of about 40 cents a box if the water route were used all the way in a specially chartered ship."

BEETLES INJURE TREES Question of Curbing Pest Puzzles City Park Bureau. The spread of the elm leaf beetle pest to all parts of the West Side, as well as throughout the East Side, has raised a serious problem in the City Park Bureau, according to Park Super intendent Convill. With the limited funds at the command of the bureau and the big territory to cover, he is at n loss to know how to continue the firht against the pest. It is probable that a charter amend ment will be prepared for submission tJ the voters giving the city control over the trees of the city and providing a. means whereby trees can be cared for and the cost assessed against the property benefited. It is Mr. Convill's idea to give the city complete control of the tree work, including the right of trimming, spraying; and repairing.
