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

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.

Guard to Eemain
And Armory Suit
To Be Tested Out
Salem, Dec 12. National Guard com

lized at present. The suit instituted by
the Multnomah Guard to determine who
haa control of the Portland Armory will
be continued aa a frlrndly suit. Accord
ing to announcement made today by
Governor Wlthycombe, following a con
ference held by him with Adjutant Gen
eral Beebe, Colonel North. Major Drake
and Captain Hall of the National Guard.
The governor also stated that tt was
the concensus of opinion of those par
ticipating in the conference that mobi
lization of the National Guard under
the federal defense act should be ac
tively continued.
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

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."

goodly Quantities right up to the close of the

3 4 c these gains were at levels consider
ably below the highest price reached. ' Oats
were lHc higher.
Provisions were mainly lower pork, 10
25a and lard 2H12c lower, while ribs, were
2 H c higher to unchanged.
Chicago. Dec. 12. (L. N. S.) A reduction
of 167,000.000 bushels of corn, as shown in the'
government crop report for December as com
pared with the November reoort. stimulated a
heafy buying market today, with price rising
from 2 to 6c higher over yesterday's close.
Shorts, frightened at the possibilities, crowded
each other, and the- advance was rapid and spec
tacular. Oats, feeling the influence of the corn, ad
vanced also, reaching 2c higher than the clos
of yesterday in Some deliveries. Trade was brisk,
and the locals were largely on th buying side.
Provisions were dull, keeping around yesterday'
closing prices. v

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."
Despite this criticism new pamphlets
made their appearance today, scattered
broadcast by the representatives of the
League of the Rights of Man. They end
with the quotation :
"Vive Wilson ; Vive United States !
Vive Society of Nations!"
A sumptuous 60 horsepower American
military ' limousine, with an American
flag attached to the windshield, has

to
ment for the government Tuesday afternoon.
"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
