Brown, Veteran -Producer Tbe loganberry market is tinkling with interest. Inquiries for the sher ries not now covered by contracts are becoming mure keen-as the sea trn advances. This anxiety un the part of buyers is having the effect of causing growers to shove their asking price a few notches higher. Reports have been floating round for some time that a buyer is quletly offeriug 14 rents a pound for lojrunj. to be shipped to estern markets in large barrels. The berries are to be packed in sugar and the barreled fruit shipped east in refrigerator cars. Several attempts hare been made to verify the 14-cent price report but nothing reliable cfeuld be discovered. So far, 12 cents seems to be the high-water mark in price offerings openly made for the berry. Future Interests ('rowers. As much interest is taken in the future development of the logan berry industry In the Salem district as in Hhe present excitable market for this fruit. Some are planting all the logan tips they ran scare up in the hope of keeping ahead In the race. Others, like Hamlet, are try ing to peer into the misty -future and are soliloquizing whether they should plant or not plant at this time. There are many ups and downs to growing, loganberries. Just as there are in any other enterprise. What these are .can best be learned by experience.1 Pioneer Cirower Comments. Everybody kndws Sam H. Brown. the loganberry king, who has a yard of 85 acres covered with trellises at Gervais. Mr. Brown has been grow ing loganberries for, 13 years. He is one rf the pioneers in the busi ness and what he has to say of the future of the industry should be profitable to others, as well as high ly interesting reading at this time. "The loganberry industry is. at present, experiencing a mushroom growth." says Mr. Brown. "Hun dreds of acres are being set out with out any regard whatever as to the practicability of growing them in that particular soil or location. "This has been the experience of every other kind of crop where fwd price have been received for that particular crop for a few years, and as in thia case, where profits have been greatly exaggeiated. Reasonable Profit Sure. As In 'similar cases, the logan berry Industry will work out its own salvation. It will settle down to a normal basis where the supply will about equal tbe demand.

Ef forts to prevent an investigation of alleged rent profiteering on the part of Portland landlords today brought forth a statement from Mayor Ceor? L. Hakr. which he set forth tbe city's position in the matter. "I have found cases mhere rentals have been doubled and trebled," the statement read. "Cases have been found where family's are forced to pay more for rental than they re ceive in salary, the rents ' having mounted steadily month by month, until they have become nothing les than extortionate." Lionel C. Mackay. detailed from the city a legal department to as sume charge of the campaign, has advised tbe mayor that tbe niunici pality has thj right to regulate rents.

"Um pi r. n-irt.t. If the Salem Senators pull them selves together today and make the infield a little tighter than it was yesterday the prediction is that they will defeat the Moose Jaw Canadian leaguers in the second game of the series to be played here. The Sena tors lost yesterday by a score of 13 to 9. but the Salem lads made a re markaable showing considering lack ot practice due to recent inclement weather. If tbe weather Is fair I oil ay's game should be a sensation. Witb dry weather during the early part of the day the new park at Twelfth and Ox ford streets will be in condition for fast play which was impossible for either team yesterday, though the game was not devoid of clever plays that evoked cheers from the bleech- ers and caused bats to aviate. Tbe mot sensational was when Hand some" Jack Hays stole home In tbe sixth, making Salem's first run. Brown will be In the box for Salem today and Hays In tbe mask. Tbe game will start at 2: 30. A disastrous second Inning, a brace of costly errors in the eighth and timely hits by Moose Jaw were mainly responsible for the Senators defeat yesterday. Heavy hitting by Salem in the seventh with Bishop and Miller tbe main performers, threatened to even up the score. Swartz was forced to retire after the seventh to save the game for the Canadians. Tbe game by innings: Ftrt Inning. Moose Jaw Griffith struck out. Williams went out Kracke to Bishop, and Clair was out Cole to Bishop. Salem Cohn went out Reipl to McKain. Bisho'p and Proctor whiffed. Second Inning. Moose Jaw Corrigan reached first on an error by Bishop and Rel pl sacrificed him to second. Shoots took first on' an error by Proctor which allowed Corrigan to score. Mc Kain singled, advancing Shoots to third. Cole and Bishop mishandled a grounder from Bell's bat which al lowed Shoots and McKain to neore aand Bell to reach second. Swartz tanned, but Griffith.
