Three years ago local packer sold a big block of Oregon Saturday "!!.'! prunes to the east on the basis of 5c a pound but at this time it Is a very serious question If any more business could be landed immediately at that firure. Leaders of the dried prune industry here are optimistic regarding the fu ture of the prune trade, notwithstand ing the present bad features on the in dustry. J. T. Brumfield. manager of .Mason, thrman & Co.. expresses the opinion that the present situation can not continue for an extended period and that an improvement is sure to iouow general adjustment in. business conditions. "Sales of prunes have been made by packers liere at 5c a pound or 1 Vi to 2c a pound under the values quoted 30 days ago,'1 says Mr. Brumfield. "The eastern markets are in bad. shape at this time and really do not want to buy. Business conditions are being' adjusted to fit new world's conditions and when this is completed I look for a resumption in not only prunes, but in general trade. "The Pacific northwest has been de pending considerably upon the huge foreign demand it has worked up for its prunes, apples, hops and other com modities. Everything was going along in good shape until the war started in Europe and since then there has been practically no business. At the pres ent time I know of no foreign demand for prunes." Other operators express a like opin ion regarding the present and future outlook. PORTLAND LIVESTOCK TtLN. Hogs. Cattle. Calves.

Europe is grabbing every available bushel of wheat that Is being offered at Pacific northwest ports. The de mand today is far the most extensive of the season to date. Offers of wheat to foreign parties are snapped up so fast that the trade here is bewildered and scarcely knows what to do. The country is not selling wheat freely even at prevailing high prices, and efforts of exporting interests to secure additional supplies only force asking values higher. Foreign markets were again very firm for wheat, with Liverpool IVid to 1 higher at the opening. Paris was also up lc at the start of the day's trade. Heavy buying of wheat is again re ported for European account at Cana dian and American Atlantic coast points. It is stated that fully five cargoes were sold for that account on Saturday alone. While there continues much talk here regarding sales of cargoes, there is no inclination among exporting in terests to make them public. Further heavy business in oats Is reported from the Atlantic-: coast and from Gulf points, but none can be con firmed for foreign account here.

Emulate the heroes of the diamond by bringing to bear in life's great game the same energy and perseverence used on the battle fields of the major leagues," ad vised Rev. William Wallame Young son, pastor of the Rose City Park Methodist church yesterday in his ser mon on "The Third Strike Don't Die on Third." Dr. Youngson took the recent world series for his text and by drawing parallels betwen the stories of the big series and the life of a man on earth succeedd in driving horn the points he wished. ' "Baseball." he said, "is the clean est and most manly of all sports. And never in its history was the demand so strong for clean and moral men. In interviews sought by a prominent pastor from 40 big leaguers it was found that all of them had had pre vious religious training. It was also found that despite the fact that they played 1 on Sunday most of them at tended some church each Sunday." CHURCH RAISES $1800 . Oregon City, Ot Oct. 19. To the Kditor of The Journal I am a Re publican and with few exceptions, and those concerning minor offices, have consistently supported the nominee of that party. For many years I have favored Woman's Suffrage, and voted in favor of it whenever an oppor tunity presented itself. 1 have never voted for Senator Chamberlain, but yield him the credit of having consis tently and fearlessly advocated ex tending to women the right of suffrage for many years. All thia by wy of promise. A campaign is now being waged in this state, headed by a non-resident, near-miliiant suf fragettif, to defeat him for reelection, upon the amaaing ground that the Democratic party has not declared for national woman's suf frage. To tlie thinking person with a memory and a conscience, this is in gratitude of a character difficult to understand. The women who sponsor the move ment attempt to defend their attitude upon the theory that they are foster ing a propaganda for national suf frage, that the Democratic party is now in power, and has failed or re fused to stand back of the nation! movement, and that all the members of this party, whether friend or foe. Local financial interests express themselves in no uncertain terms re garding their expectations for a gen eral betterment of the business and financial situation with the formal opening of the regional banks which is soon expected. All tinea of business are undergoing a change as a result of the changed conditions in the world's trade and only good is ex pected from the present conservation of the public generally. At the pres ent time there is a tendency among practically all American bankers to retain their gold suppltcs an.i issue currency in its place. Bankers gener ally acknowledge this by explaining that their only desire is to keep Amer ican gold from falling into foreign hands from which there is an enor mous demand at this time. Coal Mine Operating. Reports from Coos Bay state that the. Libby coal mine there is now turn ing out about 80 tons of coal daily. The product is finding a ready market according to the management. A large per cent of the output at present is being consumed by railroad construc tion interests in that locality. War Aid to Business. There is one very optimistic man in the lumber industry in the Pacific northwest who believes that after all the ICuropean war will prove a big thing for our lumbering industry; Arno Mereen. general superintendent of the C.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT Harry Thaw Case Set. Washington, Oct. 19. The United Slates supreme court today advanced (Copyrighted, 1914, American Society I for Thrift.) Thrift Month in' Schools. A practical suggestion is given for school exhibits for Thrift month (Oc tober) in the following account in a recent Journal of Education, describ ing the proofs of the thrift teaching at the Piney Woods school, Broxton, Miss., of which L. C. Jones is princi pal. Here it Is: "A girl steps forward on the plat form and says, 'We have learned to make brooms and then she proceeds to take some broom corn of her own raising and makes a broom. After she gets .well started, while she. continues to make the broom, a- boy steps for ward and says, 'We have learned to use tools and can mend everything on the place, and then proceeds, by the use of a crude forge and anvil, to make a link and put it In a chain and weld it. "While he goes ahead and completes his work, and the girl keeps at work on' her broom, another girl says, 'We learn to make hats and I can make a good hat for 20 cents. She tells what each part of the material costs her and proceeds to make a hat. "While these three are at work, an other girl says. 'We learn to make our own clothes; I can make a fine wrap per, - costing me oniy so cents. sue tells what the goods costs and the Incresse Decrease Section Oreftoa Oregon . Oregon Oregon Oregon .

A' young man steps forward, and with the help of another peaces two crates upon the platform. In one is a razor-back hog, in the other a Berk shire. He says, 'We used to keep razor-back hogs like this one, but now we keep a Berkshire like this one,' and proceeds to call . attention to differ ences in the two. He tells the differ ence In the profit of keeping the Berk shire instead of the razor-back. Another girl says, 'We now wash our clothes very often so as to be sweet and clean all the time.

CITIZEN. Department Taking Interest in Demands . for Continu ance of the Service, I Wajihinetrm P.iiriau nf TTic JonrnaKl Washington, Oct. 19. In the efforts to secure favorable mail contracts In Oregon, in order to prevent the discon tinuance of. lmfps-establlRhed -. mail routes because of the high bids filed, both Oregon senators av been;ery active for 1 he past few, months. As the people served hCfe god rea son to know. tllPHpstof f ice department has met with gWftt embarrassment in its endeavor to giMa-Kd equate service and not to exceed the funds available. Some routes have, nevertheless, been abandoned, an others have been cut- tailed. The senators have succeeded, in many instances, in saving the serv ice, and the following letter will serve as a typical instance where this was done: "My Dear Senator Chamberlain: Re ferring again to your personal call at the department on August 2i, 1911, at which time you urged the restoration of through mail service betwen Klam ath Falls and Lakeview, Oregon, and were advised that an advertisement would be issued for a route from Lake view to Bly, to connect with the route from Bly to Klamath Falls, 1 have to Inform you that the proposal - sub mitted by Mr. Oliver P. M. Cory of Lakeview at the rate of $3885 per an num has been accepted and a contract for the Lakcvicw-Bly route awarded to him. Sincerely yours," (signed) "M. M. McLean, acting fourth assistant postmaster general." The following letter also gives an Interesting insight into the difficulties the department is experiencing in maintaining satisfactory service: "My Dear Senator Chamberlain: I have your letter of the 5th instant, with which you transmit a communi cation from Dr. Charles J. Smith, Broadway building. Portland, Oregon, urging that the star route from Har bor to Gold Beach, Oregon, be readver-tlsed. "In reply. I beg to state that, as you have already been advised by the fourth assistant postmaster general, it was thought the department would not be warranted in paying at the rate of $3850 per annum for transporting the mails between Harbor and Gold Beach, that being the lowest proposal submit ted in response to several advertise ments for this service, particularly as the cost of maintaining this route for the contract term which explreWrrb 30, 1914, was only $1273 per armum.
