SEASON IS NOW ANTICIPATED
lYlALBOEUF HEADING
COLORADO GROWERS;
ALL WILL COOPERATE
Local Man Placed In' Charge of
New Organization at Grand Junc
tion, Which Is Expected to lie a
Direct Aid to AH Markets.
f
Cooperaiion among fruitgrowers is
becoming much more general through
out the oounlry, and is destined to
play a very Important part in the
marking ojf markets and prices for jp.
pies in future seasons. ' ?
Word comes from Grand Junction,
Colov that Charles A. Malboeuf, for
merly connected with the Northwest
ern Fruit Kxchange and .the North Pa
cific lJistributors here at various
times, is at the head of the new t'olo--wdo
cooperative organization. Mr. Mal
boeuf writes to The Journal Iiuin
Grand Junction, stating that 1k is head
of the new organization. Colorado
ships from 5000 to 7000 cars of apples,
Sears and peaches annually. Mr. Mal
oeuf indoles the following write-up
of the new organization.
"The decisive step towards the plac
ing of the Colorado fruit industry
upon a bafd of assured progress, and
carrying with it all the possibilities of
profitable annual returns to the grow
ers, was the formation of the Kockv
Mountain Cooperative- Fruit Distribu
tors at Delta oh Wednesday. This is
the final movp in the welding together
of all districts and local a-xsociatioiiK
jnto a strictly growers' cooperative
central selling agency, and the perfec
tion of It will, now proceed rapidly an. I
systematically in order to be thorough
ly equipped to take care of the crops
of 191G.
"For the first time in the history of
fruitgrowing, in this state, every sec-
noii on me western siope goi logein
er on common ground, through ihe
representatives of -the different local
fruitgrowers' associations, for tho dis
cussion of matters aftectihg the best
Interests of the growers. With that
gathering and the perfect - unity of
ideas which prevailed, the formation
of the central marketing organization
was assured, and the action taken for
mally launched the great enterprise.
When it is taken into consideration
that the associations present, throutch
their accredited delegates, represented
upwards of 7o per cent of the tonnage
of the western slope, .the far-reaching
character and results' of the meeting
will be fully appreciated.
"The event will be hailed with' great
relief and profound satisfaction by
every grower on both the western and
eastern slopes. The central organiza
tion will afford, after the uncertain
ties of past conditions, a wide-open
channel to profits in the orchard that,
with steady fruit value possible under
no other system, should revive tho
dropping prices of orchard lands and
restore them to a basis commensurate
with the investments in dollars, cents
and improvements which they now rep
resent. It will put the fruits of Colo
rado, through the efficient selling ma
chinery that organization will create,
in their rightful places in the markets
of every state of the union. It will
secure, through uniform methods of
grade and pack, the much-desired con
fidence of th'e . consumers, and. above
all, will make possible the selling of
the crops at definite prices, for cash,
based on actual shipping-point values.
The long-looked-for hopes of the grow
ers for such a condition will be She
fruits of this movement, through the
establishment of a real cooperative
selling system that will mark the last
word in distributive perfection." ,

SHOWING GOOD CALL;
PRICE ABOUT STEADY
Offers Heing Made for Alaska Red
at 1.4a la, and It Is Believed
Market Will Clean lp at This
Price Cauners Getting Heady.
The niai ket for canned ealrnon is
daily show mg an improvement. It is
stated that quite a fair demand now
exists for Alaska reds, of which only
verv limited supplies remain here and
on Puget sound. The niarket for reds
opened in IJH at $1.4 3, but some of
th: tannei'H were unabld to sell at this
price and were unwilling to shade to
$1.40. Now there is la demand at
1 -1 - -z . :nd it is likely ithat remaining
stocks held here will be moved out a l
that price.
Clrcat . preparat ions afc being made
for the coming season.! The i'ortlund
fleet to the north -will leave about
April 1. It is stated that praeticall
all the canneries operating last year
wilt resume liiis season in ihe north.
Columbia river cannej-s are prepar
ing for the coming season. The cold
storage output is not expected to be
heavy the coming season, because of
the Kuropean war. but 1 is stated that
the . Columbia Kiver Cooperative gom
pany has already secured quite a lnir
business' from Sweden, and that sales
liaif been booked for Ojther Kuropean
countries. it
The smaller demand ! for 'niihl-'-ur-fish
is expected to result in a bigger
output of canned stock. Indications
point to the price being the same as
litNti year, or no more ithan a nickel
lower. All depends upon whether the
fishermen demand last year's prices or
not. j If they deliver to canners at the
canning fisli price, the large, fish that
usually go to picklers and command an
advance of lc over the small sizes,
then the output of canned fish will
probably be the best known 'for many
yearte.

hogs than expected in the North Port
land yards over Sunday but eariy in
the tradine one sale was I made at
$7.60, the former top, altliough the
'bulk of the good stuff went below this
price.
The slightly improved feeling in the
eastern swine trade today .even at the
advanced price failed to reach within
looking distance of the local quotation,
which stands safely above all other
recognized livestock markets in the
country. -
At Chicago there was an improved
trend in the hog trade today with
values a dime better than Saturday at
$6.9a for tops,
Kansas City hogs were upi
a similar
sum at $7 for tops.

With a scarcity of offerings, there
is a decidedly firm and active tone
srjow'ii for alfalfa all" through the Pa
cific northwest, nd especially at coast
poiints. Buyers are toda-y freely offer
ing $13 'co 13.50; for supplies, with little
being offered.; Other hays are .juiet
bult steady at! former prices.
Trade in cereals continues very slack,
with practically no offering at the mo
tnnt reported from interior points.
Oing to thei complex foreign situa
tion, ouyers are at sea as to the prob
able course of the market within the
immediate future, and therefore are
unjwilling to meet tiie higher priced
viws entertained by country holders.
This applies principally to wheat,
but is true likewise of oats. The bar
ley market is erratic but the price id
showing but little change.
.'lour business continues limited for
