Oregon Prune Not I A Competitor of California Fruit; Far Better Quality By Hj-man II. Cohen Oregon prune growers are clearly up In the air as to what courae to takeJh the marketing of their prunes. While it Is generally understood that the govern ment will not want them, no official word to this effect has been generally made public. " ! There Is a great demand for Oregon prunes and if the government will allow the trade to proceed without Interrup tion of red tape some of the damage done by withholding of supplioa-from the mar ket may be recovered. , Aa matters stand many growers forced to hold their prunes are out interest charges on these supplies even though they are able to sell the supplies upon the open market for as much as the government price. si The efforts of some California Inter ests to claim that Oregon could not sell Its prunes 'if It were roi. for the failure of the crop in the south, are amusing to those In touch with the prune market situation. In the first place the prunes of both states have distinctively differ ent trade. - The Oregon prune will sell to parties that would not have the Cal ifornia article and In the European trade far excels the southern product.

Slightly increased movement or Oregon pota toes to the South are shown and the early ar rivals there ftav gained friend for th local product among the bigger handlers. While a large per cent of last year crop of potatoes was of poor' quality in Oregon, this year's ontTmt as a rnle ta up to th usual high- grade Oregon standard. Demand at this time is more for seed than for table use, although trade is by no means brisk as yet for anything. Sons American Won der seed has been purchased at country points around $1.50 f. o. b. but no late business has been shown in Uarnets. which ar about cleared up. The seeding season in th South ' is late and as the warehouses there have been filled with other goods, there is practically no demand except for immediate table consumption or for prompt seeding. There remains an entire absence of speculative demand. Local jobbing market is about steady around former value. Guard to Eemain And Armory Suit To Be Tested Out Salem, Dec 12.

The request was made some time ago by the mothers of soldiers in France that organization of the National Guard be deferred until the boys returned Hume so they could take an active part in perfecting the new military organiza tion. PLANS FOR WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENT MADE Big Appropriation ; Needed, to 'Assure 1919 Wheat Prices "Washington, .Dec 12. (1. N. S.) A hig appropriation by congress will be necessary to "make gord-th guaranteed price of the 11J wheat crop," Repre sentative Young of North Dakota stated in tho house thla afternoon. s European countries, he asserted, bave not , sufficient ship tonnage to obtain their wheat supplies from Argentina and Australia and for that reason the Euro pean buyers ought not to be permitted to establish a low price for wheat reach- ng the present level of prices in Argen tina and Australia. They expect to buy just enough -wheat from thoso countries to establish a low price' for American wheat and then get their supplies frem thla country. He expressed the belief that th way to meet this situation is to appropriate ample funds for the officials of the food administration' grain corporation. who are men of large experience in the grain business, thus enabling them to thwart the purpose ct the European miyers ana Becure a reasonable price for American wheat."

The controversy over the alleged at tempt of the Socialists to monopolise President Wilson is reaching a warm stage. J' Tne Temps in a lengthy first page article, criticises the Socialist party, the general congregation of workers, the League of the Rights of Man and other i organizations whlch have been placard ing billboards with appeals to give the American executive a monster welcome. The organizations are accused of trying to exploit the president s visit in their own interests. "Gaetit of Franee," Say Temps It is strange," says the Tempav "to see those elements capitalizing Mr. Wil son's visit that never ceased to extol a peace by compromise a procedure which the president formally denounced as dangerous. President Wilson is not the guest of any party, nor faction nor man ; he is the guest of France."

They end with the quotation : "Vive Wilson ; Vive United States ! Vive Society of Nations!"

"Gentlemen of the Jury. W. N. Jones started out to defraud and cheat the United States,' said the prosecutor "You don't think that he would wrongly deprive the government of its title to the land merely for the purpose of do ing so. The real purpose was that he Intended to acquire the land for him self. If tMe circumstances surrounding me case snow mat he Intended to ac quire the title for himself, then he I responsible for damages to the United Matea. He was a dealer in script. He knew that thereawas a fine bodv of tlm , , .. . i-r in Lincoln countv and there tsraa the place to make money. W hat did Jones do?" asked Hsnsv I win tell you what he did. He hired a man to go down there and cruise the land, raid him $6 a day and all his eg penses fur Beverai werks. Abport was mauo 1.0 j ones' , satisfaction. Jones paid Wells 15 for every old. sol mer wells secured to sign a contract. Don't you believe that Wells mad all arrangements with the men. They saw Jones, every one of them, and Jones heard all of their stories. These old soldiers had from 165 until 1901 avail themselves of the opportunities to raxe up limner lands, but they never thought of it until they talked to Wll ara Jones, or to Thad a Potter, Jones agent. They never Intended go there and make their homes. It is a fact that Jc-r.es paid their ex penses for filing, their railroad fares, bjaflt their cabins and you know what kind of a cabin cultivated the land and planted a crop," said Haney. Ilaney then touched on the subject of the final proof filed by the soldiers. He brought out the fact that the answers to the questions were so nearly AHke that they must have been made curt by the same man. "If the old soldiers." said Haney, "believed that they had to visit their claims once in six months, they would have said so and not have made such answers as appeared on the) pa pers. One man made all of these sug gestions and answers so near alike. Pot ter was there when the final proofs were made and he was put there by Jones. Is the Game to M ak Money The government attorney again OKlled the attention of the Jury to Jones, de claring that Jones was a clever business man and did buainesa in a clever way, and he also pointed out that Wells and Potter were Jones' agents. "Jones start ed them out." said Haney, "and he ac cepted the fruits of their work. Jones was in the game to make money If he carried out his plan. . He paid out 1520 of his own money and then promised to give the old soldiers $200 when Xlnal proof was made. Proof that they did not intend to make their homes oa the claims is that the old soldiers tell you they did noL NThe improvements made on the lands were made by Jones' agents.'' Preceding Ilaney, John Hall, attorney for the defendant, reviewed the case, dwelling at length on the assertion that Jones was doing all the- work of placing the old soldiers on the timber lands for a locator's fee of $10. Hall told how Jones had his contracts read by gov ernment officials and received word that they were valid, and also that Jones agreed with each old soldier to secure a loan of $200 on his claim. Hall stated that Conner and Weils had no agreement with Jones whereby Jones would acquire Major Seat rare Goes to SeatUa-Maior ' Louts H.
