This is the matter that promi
nent fruit men of the northwest
have been working on as the only
salvation for the fruit industry of
the Pacific coast. Now that it
has come, some of the figures on
what it means are of interest.
Big Saving Certain.
The old ret" for apples whs
$l.ff, per 10 0 pounds, or prac
tically S3 ents a box. The new
rate reduces this cost by 10 cents
oer inn pounds, or x cents a box.
The salable apple crop of the
nnorthwest f r 1!21 is estimated
at 40,000 ears, with "f.tt boxes to
the car, 30,240,000 boxes in all.
The freight reduction of only s
cents a box means $2.4 19,2 Mi
more profit to the northwest for
this one crop.
It might not. all come exactly
in that form, however. The grow
er need not expect to have thai
much money handed him on a
golden platter, by the railroads or
by the consumers. But part of i'
will eome in the far bigger item of
providing a market for all or h'
crop, part of which has nob here
tofore ben salable because of pro
hibitive freight rates. To sell a
whole box, or a ealroad of apl''s.
for even six bits a box because ot
the lower rate, when they were
not salable ai all under tin old
tariffs, means a far greater protu
than even the 8 cent reduction in
freights.
Kin the:- Itelief Needed.
Professor C. I. Lewis, assistant
pen ral manager of the Oregon
Growers Cooperative association,
has Uenn one of the leaders ")
the movement to secure a reduc
tion of rates. Interviewed late
last night on the Chicago dispatch
announcing the reduction, he ou!
lined some of the above fact", f'd
said further that while it was nt
quite all they had asked f'r. it
was a decided help ror th" north
west fruit grower. He holds that
a still further reduction, however,
will be the only sure way to make
the apple, crop profitable enough
to keep ih orchards going.
"The estimate of 20 per cent
less than in 192". tor the cost t
producing a fruit crop in 1''-'
Uill ho'd good." said Professor
Lewis. "This is exclusive of this
freight reduction. Last year's
crop was produced at a loss. 'i't's
loss ought to be taken care of ''
the 1921 market, counting
lower cost of production and the
lower cost of transportation ; ;i" I
the consumer get his fruit at a
much lower price, and the grow
er yet make a profit. It is a
move in the right dinrtion."
IVars Need Belief.
Pears also ought to be included
in the order, said I'rofersor Lewi--,
to give adequate relief for one ot
the heavy shipping crops. The
peprs have been taking a rate of
$2 per loo pounds, which
makes them rost almost more

effort on the part of Mayor George
Efe Halvorsen to quell certain
members of the city council into
a semblance of order, featured the
city council meeting last night.
jfThe council protested the pro
posed raise in street care fares.,
trom 5 cents to 8 cents. Mem
bers of the council declared that
they felt they were voicing, the
seihtiments of their constituents '
in,; entering a protest. . The pro
test will be formally presented, to
the publjc service commission and
a '.hearing will be given the ques
tion. p Phone Rates Protested. '
iThe city attorney was Instrnct
ed; last night to attend the hear
ing of the publie service, commis
sion on the raise in telephone
rates, which will be heard July 18
in 'Portland. It is the Intention
of; the council to cooperate with, "
the city council of Portland In
fighting the new rate schedule. ;
At a previous meeting of the
council Alderman George Wender
roth introduced an ordinance op
posed to the removal of the street
car tracks on Summer street,
where new paving is about to be
put down. The ordinance was .
repdy for the third reading last
night but failed to pass after a
general discussion regarding the
obligation of the council In allow- :
ing the company to remove its .
tracks when the city was ready
to" pave the street.
Old Action Cited.
It appears a former council
agreed with the street car com- -pany
to allow it to take the tracks
up;should the city decide to pave .
th street, and members of the
council last night contended that
the obligation was still binding
ana should be given considera
tion. P
Attorney Robin Day, acting on (
behalf of the railway company,
spoke at some length, affirming
that should the ordinance Intro
duced by Wenderoth pass it would
be illegal. He stated the four
blocks in question did not pay
on; an average of more than 75 :
cents a day, and that it would
necessitate an expenditure of
about 18000 to pay its share ot "
th4' paivine and Beset the tracks.
Concession Reluctant.
permission for the removal of
th tracks was finally given
through a majority vole, though
uner strong protest of several
aldfrrmen. including Wenderoth
an Hal Patton.
Interfering greatly with the
onier of business, two or three
loiuic.ilmen persisted last night
in discoursing together li tonus
so Joud that they were sevtral
tinies rapped to attention hy
Mayor Halvorsen. Finally, the
disturbance continuing, it became
more than ever the mayor's
patience, would warrant and he
sharply reprimanded them, de
claring that if they "would not
attend to business nor allow any
onO else to do so they nt'ght Just
