,1' .V!', THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; PORTLAND, ( WEDNESDAY EVENING, ' DECEMBER mi , MARKETS FOR 1200 CARLOADS OF FRUIT FOUND EXCHANG E V Big Gaif in Business- Cen tering Here, , An unusual example of buslnepa ex panalon that relatea very directly to the financial welfare of nortbwm apple grower la furnished by the Northwestern Krult expanse as it closes its iteaaon. With chief offices In Portland, the exchange will 'have cleared ll.OOO.OOU liiiouKli local banks and will have found market for 1300 carloads of fruit this year. U has already marketed 1060 carloads. c VThla nieana a buslneas fully 50 per cent mora than last year; it is the best of the four ueasons we have had since establishing our offices In Portland," aid W. F. Owin, general manager of the exchange, yesterday. "The way we are progressing 'It la safe to predict that within a few yeara our annual clearance will be up to 18,000,000. We have gotten this year for growers much more real money than last year, and we feel , both proud and encouraged oyer the record." - JTw Bales r-oUoy Helps. Part of the success of the season Is said to be due to a new sales policy Inaugurated by the exchange. It has been the habit to market fruit blindly and unscientifically, shipping the car loads to eastern centers regardless of whether they were glutted with fruit or not. Consequence frequently was that high grade apples failed to sell for enough to pay the freight. Determined to correct the condition. survey was conducted. It showed that la the United States there are ap proximately 10,000 dealers In fruits and vegetables In carload lots, 'a system wan then devised by which every car load of fruih at the point of shipment would be offered slmultaneoualy for sale to each of the 10,000. Resultant offers not only made It possible to select the "beet prices but gave sure proor or where the markets were dull or brisk. This plan made the distribu tion web center at the point of ship ment rather than In some fruit con gested eastern center. To carry on such a system has en tailed the perfecting of an intricate sys tem of telegraplftand telephone com munication. Constant connection haa been necessary between the Portland offices und the possible murkets and te correspondents located there, throughout the United States. Running over his accounts yesterday, Mr. Gwln said that the cost of tele phone and telegraph messages for the season has been 6037.24, and It frequently run over J12'00 a month. Payroll Is $32,149. The payroll has been for this year 132,149; supplies, expenses, stationery and printing have totaled $6856 and pontage $1350. "We claim that we have demon strated the legitimacy of a publio serv ice corporation privately owned, if its books are, us ours, constantly open to anyone to the least detail," said Mr. GwMn. Jt is understood that a proposal to remove the offices of the exchange to Seattle has been made by one of the of ficials whose home is in thePuaet sound " city, -and, it Is said, has met wiia tne. most determined opposition on the parf of stOrkholders. growers and others interested, who feel that the dlsadvantaes of allocation In Seattle compared wltti the advantages furnished by location in Portland and the closer relation with important fruit growing districts nero arroraea, should annul any pian to move.

I v t 111 NEW GOMMISSION TO ORK OUT SOM REGIS RAIN E NEW LAWS Governor Recognizes' Need for Definite Instructions Fol Following Recent '(Muddle. . v Henry W. McElmurry. Albany, Or., Pec. 3. The most hotly contested race in Monday's municipal election was thct between Henry W. McElmurry and Henry Lyons, who was up for re-election, for councilman from the third ward. McElmurry wort by a majority of 46 votes, the vote being 234 to 188. It was a three-cornered race with J. 1. Bryant, a Socialist, polling 131 votes. Mr. McElmurry was recently elected a member of the school board. lias (Salem Bureau of Th Journal.) Balem, Or., Dec. S. Recognising the need of new registration and election laws. Governor West has appointed a commission of 11 persons to study the present laws and draft measures for submission to the people or the legls lature for approval. i Since the supreme court declared the permanent registration law enacted by the last legislature to he Invalid be cause its operation depended upon a de cision of the supreme court, much con fusion qyer registrations has existed in every city or town holding an elec tion since the decision was handed down. This confusion need not extend to the registration for the primaries and gen eral election 'next year because there will be time for legal registrations to be made under the old registration law. But It la declared the old law has been proven Inadequate and cumbersome, fakes Extra Work. Resuming registrations under the old law will make much extra work In the offices of the various county clerks, practically all of whom had Installed he necessary cards and equipment for use under a permanent registration law. The secretary of state's office had made exhaustive preparations for handling the permanent registrations from all coun ties. The permanent registration feature In the 1913 law seemed to meet with gen eral approval, and it Is probable that the commission Just appointed by the governor will include such a feature in any measure drafted. But It is not likely that another compulsory registra tion law will be attempted. In its re cent opinion, the supreme court did not pans directly upon that feature, but Indirectly it held the compulsory fea ture to be unconstitutional. The 1913 law provided for compulsory registration, but It contained a section which said that In case the supreme court held the compulsory feature to be unconstitutional then the use of blank A for swearing In votes on election rtv would te authorized. The court's de rision declaring the law unconstitu tional was based on this section, the court holding that the alternative pro vision or me law could not be legal be cause it depended upon a decision of the court as to the constitutionality of me compulsory feature.
