Few orders are now coming forward for
Colombia river canned salmon although thla
is causing no worry among packers because
at the ' moment there is practically no ran.
Eastern messages to local packers from
tbelr brokers indlcste that the big buyers
of the east are awaiting formal opening prices

vance being ssked for Immediate shipments
1 causing many to bold back their orders
until they are assured that no reduction will
be made when formal opening values are an
nounced. Orders on this basis are being of
fered but packers are unwilling to make any
concessions.
There is one big drawback to the salmon
market at this time. This Is the season when
big pack is due on Puget sound. With the
sockeye output at the maximum values for
thst product are generally lower than for
the Columbia river offerings. Until the of

Kennewick Berries
Find Good Market
Cooperation Aids
Kennewlck. Wanh., June 4. The Kennewick
strawberry. wtUch each year leads to market
the great fresh fruit crop of the northwest. Is
being suecesqfully marketed this year In spite
of war conditions. Early rumors of labor and
crop shortages have cot materialised, and the
ripe red berries are moving out to the market
cities or the northwest at the rata of several
thousands of crates each day.
Through admirable cooperation between the
people of this community, the growers and the
federal bureau of labor, every patch is well
supplied with pickers and packers, and tlie
berries are being made ready for market with
the same precision and system followed In nor
mal years.
The growers are determined that as Urge a
percentage of the crop as possible shall be put
Into consumption this year because of the food
shortage. Kor this reason picking will be con
tinued Just as long as the price will pay the
expenses of harvesting.
Following an annual custom, the growers and
business men of this community have named
Wedneenlay, June 6, as Kennewlck Strawberry
day. Krult jobbers, dealers, hotels, restaur
ants and railway dining cars have pledged
tbelr cooperation, and it is expected that the
Kennewlck strawberry will that day be featured
on the menus of hotel, cafe, club, dlnlnj car
and home In all jarts of the northwest. The
growers on their part will nut forth special
efforts to have all markets well supplied with
good fresh berries at prices within reach of
the modest pocketbook.

months of wet. soggy ground, the grain Is be
ginning to fulrly jump from the ground, and
the outlook for this year's crop Is splendid In
this vicinity. Tte crops are at least two thirds

thle time last year, despite the condition of
the ground up to this recent warm spell.
Spring and fall grsln is a great deal better
than last year, and the acreage has Increased
13 per cent over the previous yesr.
With a reasonably warm period now tbe
crop will be excellent In this vicinity. Farm
ers who were discouraged heretofore are now
In the best of spirits, as the outlook for- a
large crop la very bright.

In speaking of Mr. Bateham s Quali
fications and the effectiveness of the
scheme to promot the welfare of the
rruit growers' market, W. F. Gwln.
vice-president of the Northwestern
Fruit exchange, who attended the
meeting, aaid:
"The plan is full of nromls for the
fruit growers of the Northwest. Mr
Bateham is a thoroughly practical
fruit grower and shipper, intimately
familiar with Northwestern fruit
conditions and is splendidly eaulDoed
for the work. The loss of the Euro
pean markets through embargoes and
anortage of cargo apace, make it
imperative that immediate steDa be
taken for th development of tbe vast
potential markets across the Pacific
and the agency is gratified that the
office of markets has consented to
1st us In this vital enterprise."

Discussing the group deliberation
of Socialists already here. Dr. Hunil
said:
I have th strongest expectation
that the conference later will uccd
in uniting Socialist groups on a com
mon peace program. Than all Social
ists can work for adoption of that pro
gram by belligerents.
"We have purposely Ignored disputed
questions between belligerents In tha
discussions to data because it la not V
profitable to catalog th wrangles of
war. In addition, it has been apparent
from the first that tha disputes of any -two
belligerents would ' differ from
those of any other two. AH such ones-
tions ss these should ba considered by
an international conference, where tha
prejudices of any on nation cannot
affect the deliberations.
