LINN PIONEERS TO PICNIC HOOD RIVER, Or., May SI. (Spe cial.) Although indications point to a total tonnage far in excess of the yields of any former year, H. V. David son, export agent of a number of north western concerns, declares that the marketing season of 191D-20, unless growers begin the deal by demanding excessive prices at harvest time, bids fair to be more profitable than last year. Mr. Davidson, who, preparatory to leaving for Europe, where he win make a survey of all markets, h.s Just visited all of the northwestern grow ing sections, says: "The greatest danger the grower faces Is his tendency to make his Initial selling prices too high. The apples should be sold at figures that will make possible a steady consump tion of them. If this condition pre vails, the fruit will move off In a steady stream with the likelihood of a rising market. But let the market start bullish and break and it Is liable to become disastrous. "While orders are being received ab normally early and in large numbers, I have learned of but a single sale of " any consequence. E. Wagner & Sons of Wenatchee have bought a stock of Jonathans, to be picked before the fruit is fully mature, for shipment to Aus tralia. They have contracted to pay J2 per box, but this should not be taken as any general market criterion." Yakima valley. Mr. Davidson says, is figuring on about 10,000 cars. Wenat chee expects to produce 8600 cars. Frost danger is not yet over in the Spokane district, he says, and final estimates have not been given. "While in Spokane," said Mr. David son. M talked with A. B. Perham, promi nent shipper, who had Just returned from a tour of Idaho. He told me that the prune crop would only be about 6ft per cent, but that Idaho districts would ship 3000 cars of apples against 200 last year. There is a probability of 3500 boxes of Jonathans in excess of last year in the northwest, and it is Indicated that the general excess of all varieties over last year in all districts will be about 7500 carloads. The north western districts produced a total ton nage of 19,400 cars last season." Mr. Davidson says the high prices paid for early fruits is phenomenal. While he was in Wenatchee, he said growers were contracting their apficots at $100 per ton, the buyers to bear the expense of packing. PORTLAND MKN TO SPEAK BROWXSVIM.E. AT TANGLED ROMANCE TOLD WIIiL OF TRAVELING SALESMAN . REVEALS UNREQUITED LOVE. School Teacher at Sioux Falls Made Sole Heir Only In Event She Is Engaged to Testator. PENDLETON, Or., May 81. Romance Is written in and: between the lines of a. will and codicil executed by Edgar C. Smith, a traveling salesman of Sioux Falls. S. D., received by County Clerk K. C. Brown. No request to enter the will or codicil in probate accompanied the papers. Both documents are con ventional In nature of bequest and directions. Miss Jean Annette Welker, principal of Irving school, Sioux Falls, was ap parently at the time the will was ex ecuted, the apple of his eye. To her he decreed all his worldly goods should be given. With this known to her, he figured their engagement would be simple matter. The school teacher, however, must have been disappointing, for in the codicil. Smith provided that only on condition of their being actually en paged at the time of his death should she be sole heir and executrix. In event they were not engaged, the estate should go to his married sister In Min neapolis. The savor of romance In the will is heightened by two verses of poetrj from Barton Braley's "Antemortem' which he asks be used as directions in bis cremation. "In case there - should be an ordinary burial," the document reads, "I wish it done as quietly and cheaply as possible.'' Veterans of World War Will Be Guests at Barbecue on Banks of Calapooia River.

ROSEBURG, Or., May 81. (Special.) Following a number of experiments in caring for orchards, covering period of two years, early plowing and frequent cultivation In the prune or chards of the Umpqua valley is being advocated by County Horticulturist Earl Pearcy. An old prune orchard of 40 acres at Days Creek, which has the largest crop of prunes to be found in Douglas County this year, is an evi dence that this theory Is correct, says the Iruit Inspector. Prunes in the orchard mentioned are hanging on the trees like grapes, while other trees are rather Bhyof fruit this season. The reason attributed is that this old orchard was plowed early in the spring and the ground worked down quickly, with the result that chemical activity in the soil began and the young fruit was nourished with an abundance of sap.

I THE FINLEY INSTITUTION was built from an ideal. Our first thought was an institu tion that .would soften and relieve the service of its old fear. And add that restful and quiet atmos phere which means so much to those in bereavement. Today," our complete institution is located in the quiet, yet convenient residence section. Although this beautiful residential In stitution so distinctly a Finley idea, is for all, regardless of their means, we believe it is consistent with our records to say that no one can, or does, offer more for any stated price.
