SOUND BERRIES
SHIPPED EAST
Berries trrowa in the Paget Sound. Whit
RalKMtn aayt Takima sections are served M
breakfast tables in Chicago SO hours after
beine picked, according to aa article pub
lished in last week's issue of Weather, Crops
and Markets, a weekly paper issued by the
Cnited States epartasent of fricroiture. Thus
have Washington growers found aa outlet fog
their surplus berneav
Orestoii crowars ' may soon nave to adopt
similar methods to market their crop, as the
berry acreage is increasing in Lois state eaea
year. Washington growers are snsrketiag their
fruit with the aid of a special express refrig
erator train -service operating on passenger
schedule between the Pacific Northwest and
Chicago.
"Previooslv these fresh fruits war mar
keted in the locality in which they were grown.
or they, were shipped in single ears by ex
press to Eastern market, tha amcie con
tinues, "bat in the last few year the devel
opment of the berry industry has been so
rapid in the Northwest that additional outlets
had to be found. 'The special train service
which haa baan inaueurated is meeting this
situation very successfully. Berriee of vsrious
kinds are arriving daily in Chicago from the
White Salmon. Takima. PuyaUup and Walla
walla valleys, from V ashen Island. Paget
Sound and from Lewiston, Idaho.
' In the production centers the uule are
rushed by motor truck and lntsrurbsn car
to the refrigerator cars on the railroad sidings
every afternoon. The cars are loaded, iced
and hurried oa passenger schedule to Spokane,
where they are united into a special fruit
train. Early in the morning the train' pulls
out from Spokane for the East. These trains
sre iced nve times between the Fscifio coast
and Chicago and make no other stop. Re
cently train load of red raspberries have bees
arriving in Chicago every day. Loganberries
slso have been abundant, but the larger part
of the supply hss been raspberries Arrivals
were at the rata of two cars per day during
tnie letter part or July.
Most shipments have carried through in
fine condition, with only a few Dsckasres
showing decay or mould. The berries are all
packed in 24 pint crates which are only a
single layer deep, instead of three layers deep.
ss are tne aticnigan red raspnemes. The qual
ity of the raspberries has been fine, the ber
ries being large and of a desirable red color.
A few blsck raspberries, blackberries and red
currant hsvs also corns from the Northwest,
out eniy ss parts or cars. These have like
wise been sttractively packed and were of good
quality, having shown but little decay."
Strength Is Shown
In Chicago Wheat
After Early Break
Chicago. Ang. 23. Wheat showed con
siderable strength todsy after a break of H
to 10 early. commission houses ware fair
buyers and there was some buying against ex
port ssles, considerable No. 2 hard having
been worked after the close yesterday. Hedg
ing pressure was moderate as a rule, although
there was some increase in the spring wheat
offerings northwest. Liverpool was Id off
for futures and unchanged to 3d higher for
pot wheat. Primary receipts were 2,096,000
bushels against 2.283.000 bushels a year ago.
The demoralised German conditions had a
bearish effect early. However, the fact that
the German situation wss without effect on
English markets checked selling. Broomhall
cabled that the Indian report of lifting the
ban on exports had not been confirmed and
this caused some lata buying.
Corn rallied after an easier tone earl v.
The cash demand was good with price basis
unchanged. Commission houses bought corn on
reports of dsmsge in the West and Southwest.
Argentine shipments only 1,444.000 bushel.
From this country clearances for the week
were 2,209,000 bushels Receipts West were
1.042.000 bushels against 1,138. 00O a year
ago.
In oats there was further otiv buying of
the September and the entire market -was
strong. Receipts were 110 oars aatknated.
Cash demand waa fair, and prior were stesdy
rejauveiy.
Provisions were lower, but there waa uu
buying credited to leading local packer on
the decline. With the lata advance in grains
and the strong turn to the hog market there
was a little firmer tone developed.

COTTOX MARKET RENEWS
SCATTERING LIQUIDATIONS
New Tork. Aug. 25. Whit the compari
son of present crop prospects with world's seeds
afford the basis for a aVbng bullish senti
ment ia the cotton market the action of pries
sgsm todsy reflected no little uncertainty as
to immediste conditions. The feeling evi
dently is that .between the demoralisation of
European exchange and tha Continued uncer
tainty of fuel and transportation ooaditions
t horns, the general situation doe not promise
a ready absorption of sarly new crop of cot
ton if tt is offered freely. ThefgUure of fur
ther bullish crop report to mora important
titaulated demand, naturally has a tendency
to emphasize these less favorable feature and
after selling about 6 to 11 points higher dar
ing today's eraly trading, the market eased off
under hedge selling sad renewed scattering
liquidation.
The ODeninc was steady st an advance af 2
fpointa on July, but generally 8 to 7 points
lower, cables were a UtUe better thsn due.
end the market worked up right after the call
oa a New Orleans crop report, making the
condition 6T aad the indicated yield 10.600.
000 bal. This report stated that the crop
was going to pieces ia some of the best pro
ducing states because of tha drouth in Texas
or boll weevil and rains in other sections.
Today's market wss unfavorably influenced
by a further collapse ia German and French
exchange. This caused selling in the early part
of the day, which wss augmented 1st in the
afternoon by reports of rsin in Texas. Prices
took a fresh downward turn in the last half
hour and closed st the lowest oft 20 to 62
points.

Chicago Tribune reports: "Confirmation of
heavy damage to the com crop in parte of
Western Nebraska is coming from bankers in
that section. It was very hot and dry all over
the Southwest yesterday, with temperatures the
highest of tha season. Reports were of corn
being cut for fodder. Shorts in September
oats are liquidating, fearing a tighter railway
situation. This wss the basis for the strength
end advance to 2 cents under December. Fear
of ear scarcity in tha Northwest is said to

STJTHERLIJf IRRIGATION;
PROPOSITION RECOMMENDED
Sutherlin. Aug. 25. Engineer Hens haw of
Portland, in the employ of the government,
spent Monday in sutherlin in the interest of
the proposed local irrigation system and after
viewing the water source spoke favorably of
the feasibility of the proposition and recom
mended that further preliminary matters be
taken up with a view of constructing the sys
tem. He left two water gauges and daily
measurements are now being recorded of the
water in the Calapooia, from, which stream it
is proposed to take sufficient water to irrigate
approximately 8000 acres, anoetiy in apple,
pears and berries. Another government engi
neer will be here next month to make prelimi
nary surveys and work out other features of the
system. After water rights nave been estao
lished it is proposed to call an election for
the purpose of voting bonds for the construc
tion of the system. This election will prob
ably be held in October.
Sutherlin valley haa an extensive system for
irrigation, which was constructed by the J. F.
I -.use company about 12 years ago. Following
the failure of the I. use company the system be
came practically useless, owing to neglect in
caring for maintenance sad properly looking
after the storage reservoir st the dam. Two
years sco sn irrigation district wss organised
years ago the laws of Oregon, at which time
W. J. Ladd. A. P. Slack and W. S. Duer
were elected directors. Due to the high cost
o labor and materials, but little effort has
been made until this time toward taking over
the okl system and putting it in shape so that
ample water will be provided for ill the lands
under the present 20 anile of ditches.
