Rail road men do not expect normal con ditions to be recovered sudden v. but look for steady improvement. "The railroads must spend monev in maintaining the roadbed and equip ment ot tlieir lines in order to meet the demands of commerce, because they arc most seriously embarrassed when they arc not able to handle bus iness offered them, and there is no doubt that there is an abundance ot money in the United States which can be secured for legitimate railroad investment.

"These same reports," says El Cor rco, 'say that three bridges on the railroad between Parass and Torreon have been burned, orobablv with tfi object of impeding the passage of troops into Torreon.

Heprcsentatives of all the prune packers of the North west met here last night and organized an association for mutual protection and promotion of the interests of their business. The organization is ono that has long been desired by some of the packers, bnt which could never bo effected here tofore for the reason that competition among packers has been too severe. In the season now about to open, the pack ers will 'work together for their com mon interests. The association will control all the Northwest prune pack. Among the packing houses in tho or ganization are II. 8. Gilo & Co., Wil lamette Valley Prune Association and W. C. Tillson & Co., all pf Salem; tho Koseburg packing houses, owned "by Gilo & Co. and Tillson & Co., Allen's pack ing house, of Eugene; Lang & Co., of Portland; Mason, Ehrman & Co., of Portland; French Packing Company, of Myrtle Creek, and the packing house at Vancouver, Wash. The new association has formulated two forms of contracts which all tho firms in the combino will use. 0n6 contract is that to be used in selling fruit to cpstern buyers, and the other in buying from local growers. Tho packers have determined that they will no longer sell according to forms of contract, put out by eastern buyers, nut win dictate tne terms of tne con tract or not sell at all. The new contract contains a number of provisions favorable to Oregon pack ers. It gives tho packer unlimited choice in selecting an arbitrary case of dispute where, as in the past, the arbi trators have been chosen from the New York Fruit Exchange. The new con tract gives the packer the privilege of filling his contracts with smaller sizes of prunes if the crop produced docs not contain the required quantity of large sizes. It gives the packer tho right to route the fruit in shipping. It exempts the packer from liability in case ship ment is delayed by congestion of traffic. It provides that in case of dispute as to quality, samples for test shall be taken from one-fifth of the boxes of fruit; that no allowance for sliort weight shall be made unless it amounts to more than ono per cent, and that is the counting test the size shall include the seventh prune and not the fifth only, thus, that 47 prunes shall bo deemed in the 40-50 size and not 45 only. The new form of contract with grow ers will be very explicit in requiring growers to deliver fruit cured in a first class manner, free from all burned or slack-dried fruit. The packer is to be sole judge of quality and there is to bo no arbitration in case of dispute. Tho packer is to have the right to weigh back to the grower any fruit slack dried or otherwise unsatisfactory. The packer will not be required to take more of a grower's crop than 10 per cent iu excess of the quantity estimated in the contract, but the grower must deliver all his fruit if the paeker de mands it, regardless of how much it overruns the estimate.
