nery, from Its experience with the Ore

try to boost the prices, in the oplnlen
of the fruit men, since they find the

instances.
The California canneries are offering
from $6t to 160 a ton for Oregon Bart

cannerlee who have a supply at their

"As a result," says Secretary WIN

horticulture. . "the growers of the
best fruits in. the Willamette valley are
contracting their entire crops to Cali

IMMORAL PRACTICE
, BY CITY FIREMAN
Girl Taken From Barn by Police
Where She Had Been Enticed
bj City Employe.
Immoral practices by members of the
fire department were brought to light
by the arrest of Signs Swanson, a girl
aged 16, yesterday afternoon by Officer
Jones. The police station was notified
by telephone yesterday that a fireman
had been seen entering a barn adjoin
ing the flreboat station at East Water
and East Washington street in company
' with a young girl and Jones was sent to
Investigate. He found the report to be
true and brought the girl to police head
quarters whence she was turned over to
the custody of the Juvenile court by or
der of Chief of Police Orttsmacher.
Many cases have been reported by the
police recently where members of the fire
department have been eeen with young
girls late at night about the various sta
tions, this being specially true of the
chemical company, at Second and Oak.
adjoining the police station. Conditions
existing at this fire station became no
torious at tne time Xl the recent Sell
wood robbery Investigation but since
that time It has been supposed that no
ucn practices were inauigea in.
The case on the east side end the
other rumors of Improper conduct will
result in an investigation being made

"Two prominent Portland business
men," said Nathaniel K. Clarke, clerk
of the Portland hotel, "asked me the
other night who the ppstmeater-general
of the United States is. I could not
think of his name to save my life and
asked several persons standing about
the desk. None of them knew. Then a
couple of New Tork millionaires came
to the desk and I asked them. They
said Cortelyou. but were not sure.
"The thing was getting on my mind
by that time, so I called up a newspa
per office and asked the editor. Ha 1
nald Cortelyou. That should have set
tled It, but I knew Cortelyou was sec
retary of the reaury and so could not
be poatmaster-general. Well, we asked

CONSCIENCE STRICKEN BULLDOG
KILLS RATS NOW INSTEAD OF CATS
A bulldog in Bellwood has undergone
a strange transformation of character
as a result of having killed a number
of cats. Formerly he would pay no
heed to rats, even whan they paaaed his
recumbent form In the dooryard, but
now he pursues them day and night,
and appears to have set out to kill all
the rats under all the sidewalks in
Bellwood.
His former proclivity waa for killing
cata. Two or three times a week he
came home with his nose split and eye
bleeding, but a grtm look of satisfac
tion on his battle-scarred face at hav
ing added to his record the life of an
other mortal enemy. A short time ago
he suddenly ceased chasing cats, his
whole nature seemed to change, and he
has since worn himself to a mere frame
of bones watching almost continuous
ly day and night by board piles and
sidewalks. Intent upon the slaughter of
rata, until ne has become an expert, i
rivaling the moat famous rat terriers. I
It is believed he was conscience-stricken
and is trying to atone by killing all
the rats that the deceased cata would
have killed.
CALIFORNIA MAN SAYS PORTLAND
IS NOT WELL ADVERTISED ABROAD
"Portland is just about twioe as
large as I Imagined," said Alexander
Kelr, of San Bernadlno. California, who
is visiting his son-in-law. L. M. Par
rlsh, of this city. "I am usually about
well posted on general topics and
conditions as the average man, and
thought I knew a good deal of the cities
of tne Pacific coaat.
"But I knew nothing of Portland.
Tour cltv Is not well advertised. Re
cently I was traveling In Utah. Idaho
and Colorado and had occasion to make
many Inquiries about Portland. No one
seemed to know much about this city."
It is Mr. Roll's first visit to Port
land. The city, he says, will be one
of the chief cities of the country with
in a few years. It has many advan
tages over Los Angeles according to
Mr. Kelr, although it does not begin
to derive the benefit from advertising
that Los Angeles does.
'This seems to be a city of homes
as does Los Angeles," he said. "In
fact, Los Angeles advertises that fact,
but one will notice a great difference
In the kinds of homes in this city and
In Los Angeles. Here the houses arid
dwellings are more substantial and
costly than In the southern city."

Lady attendant
At a meeting of the grievance com
mittee of the state bar association R.
J. Orey and Clyde Richardson, who had
aroused the Ire of the judges and law
yers of Portland by advertising in flie
three dally papers that they could se
cure divorces, and that in moat cases
their clients need not appear in court,
appeared before the committee and
pleaded that charges be not preferred
against them In the supreme court.
Before the meeting was called Grey
and Richardson appealed to Frank S.
Grant, prosecutor of the bar associa
tion, for Immunity and wrote to each of
the members of the grievance commit
tee saying they had not thought they

mittee, the young attorneys said they
had discontinued the practice, and

sideration of their promises to be good
the committee decided not to file
