The surplus was thirty-eight closed and fifty-three opn cars. ' The road began reporting IU shortage daily August 1. 1916, and since that time the -shortage hai been unbroken until today.' Short age had existed' previous to that time. "The change Is mainly due to the speeding up of shippers . in loading and unloading cars." said Public Service Commissioner, If. H. Corey. "An Investigation by the interstate commerce commission has shown that there have always been a suffi cient number of cars; in the 'state, but that slow action bjr shippers has caused the shortage..' The O.-W. It. tt N. company today reorted a shortage of 271 cars.

L. Ferris, Rob ert C. Paulus, Frank Schmidt, Jack Walker, W. G. Allen and .E C. Quinn. The board voted its com. mendatlon or the resolutibn but de ferred action a week pending further investigation. The resolution calls the attention of the club's board of directors to the unique place held by Salem as a manufacturing center of 'fruit and vegetable products and the possibil ity of otbei factories being establish ed here. Probability of a Jelly fact ory to be operated In conjunction with the loganberry juice industry is mentioned. The resolution de clares that Salem is the most im portant center In Che Pacific north west for the 'manufacture of fruit and vegetable products. . The proposed publicity man would also serve as a. "general utility" man and would 'gather information rela tive to labor conditions. "Whereas, The city of Salem is now the largest fruit and vegetable products manufacturing city in the Pacific "nrrthvrer?t;ar.d has a greater output and rapital invested in the above n a tied -Industries than ,- any other city of is size on the Pacific coast, and the advertising of this fact in outside 'districts would not only bring fame to the city, but also people to this community aa a plaee to live, and also a certain amount of beneficial advertising lor the in dividual industries located in Salem, and with the addition of a -preserve and jelly manufacturing plant which is now under contemplation by one of the juice plants, Salem will have the most complete set of land prod ucts manufacturing plants in exist ence in any stale in the union out side of California, and Salem has an outlet, at very satisfactory prices, for a great deal more fruit and veg etables and other farm products than are now being produced, and ''Whereas, Agriculture, horticul ture, timber and their allied manu facturesare, and must be the basis of the fnture prosperity of the peo ples of this valley, and this part of the Willamette valley possesses cer tain soil and climatic advantages which cannot be duplicated anywhere In America, and the development of products to utilize these advantages should be fostered, and "Whereas, The newspapers, farm papers and magazines will gladly give free space to the wrfte-ups of industries as unique In their sphein aa those located in Salem, which Js fine advertising and should by all means Je 'taken advantage of. and the various write-ups should he made by one who is thoroughly, fa miliar with the local conditions and the needs of this district, so as to get the most good from his work, and - "'t' ; - . ' "Whereas, There is no use in get ting any more fruit or vegetable products plants into this community until the limit of ifnirtcfty of the present plants are reached, which is far from being the cise at the pres ent time, and inasrau'h as the things which are needed to bring about this condition are more extended plant ings and a better supply tt labor to harvest and manufacture ad prod ucts, and -said increase in labor -supply is absolutely essential to the wel fare of the producer and the enlarge ment of the dependent Industries; and "Whereas. The coming can will see a general labor shortage which may be prevented by taking steps to do so In the very near future and the only " thing that is preventing many growers from making more ex tended plantings is the fear that they will not be able to get the nec essary help to harvest the crops; ana "Whereas. There are new indus tries, springing tp in the valley at the present thne of their own accord and without any encouragement, such as the growing of dry beans for the national market, the growth of peppermint for flavoring pur poses, flax fiber, walnuts, etc, and Salem is the natural center for the products 'of this Willamette valley, and these new Industries rhould by all means be centered here; and "Whereas, There is at present no industrial survey showing possibili ties along the line of new Industries which ' will not conflict with those which are at present In existence to the ultimate detriment of the Indus tries' and to the community itself, and there Is also no method of gath ering or keep statistics of the acre ages In bearing and planted to vari ous farm and orchard products, or acreage non-bearing or available land suitable to the production of Hons needed land products, and no way thereby to-forestall an over production, which might be coming,' as was the case In the loganberry in dustry a few rears ago, and on the The Kind You Have Always Bought, and 'which has bee a la -use for over oyer 30 years, has borne the signature of All Counterfeits, Imitations and Just-as-good " are but "Experiments that trifle with and endanger the health of .
