' The ; letter, which is signed by Harold Socolofsky, the Salem manager, makes no reference to the controversy which entangled the two schools last;year but is strictly of a business nature, essentially the same as is being sent to the other schools in the valley.

This advice was re jceiTed trom the Spokane organl cation.

It is felt by the officers of the association that the small quan tity of canned fruit packed this year, coupled with a very light fruit crop in the east, and a small crop of prunes in the west, will tend to boost the prices on dried fruit in the near future. 18 Curs in Three Pays. During the last three i days of sales the association disposed, of 18 cars, and halt of this amount was sold in one day. The association sold 45 car loads, or nearly 2,500,000 pounds of prunes of the new crop in the two (weeks following announce ment of opening prices. These prices maintained throughout the sales and a very noticeable strengthening of the demand was felt during tho last few days that the prunes were on Ihe market. Enough of the future crop was Bold to enable the organization to make an advance payment to Us members to, cover the cost of har vesting and drying. Forty Markets Jn Line Sales were made in widely sep arated markets in the United States, Canada and England. -The association has built up 40 mar- eets that take prunes in car lots during the last year and it is expected that it will be difficult to meet the demand for Mistland ndunes during the coming season. More than 12,000,000 pounds were marketed under the Mistland label through the Oregpn Grow era' association last year. Railroads Argue That Ruin is Ahead, Same Plea ' by Shippers WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. At torneys tor the railroads and for the shippers gave oral arguments before - the interstate commerce commission, today at bearings on the proposed reduction of freight rates on grain and hay, the for mer arguing that a reduction would threw many western- roads Into bankruptcy.- Attorneys -for the shippers; declared j that pro duction "would be lessened and-the roads, would , sutler " from reduced traffic, if the present 1 rates were continued. ' ' . J. N." Davis, representing the Chicago, Milwaukee & St., Paul, said western roads this year bad expended .95.04 per Cent of their revenues - for operating expenses. which, he added, proved that 'there can be no general reduc tion In rates." Witnesses have shown, he said, that the benefit to the farmer from reductions asked would run from1 f 8 to $56 a year for each farmer. No one will contend that this is a substantial aid. But a 25 per cent reduction would mean an annual loss in revenue of over $63,000,000 to the carriers, and would cut-the net return to 1.42 por cent."

The rest of Salem maybe wasnf t quite so demonstrative, not being there to see or to act; but the neighbors will have tneir com3 down town to say "hello "I'm tired out with five the senator. "It's a scandalous Salem, after one has been cverworked for vidnths on end. 1 m hoping for a good rest in the two or three weeks I stay here." The senator, however, was glad to say that he believes the bottomless pit of business depression has been filled in. On Up Orado "We tare on the up grade ev erywhere," he said- ' There a some unemployment in tho larger cities, but this is gradually nut surely being remedied. Business is gettine; back to normal. Government co-operation in na- tion-wido reclamation measures. the senator believes, will mean in calculable benefit to much of the west, though not to western Ore gon, where such works are little needed. In eastern Oregon, how ever, and along the Columbia riv er, this national co-operation should reclaim a vast acreage of fertile lands that the United States seeds for homes and for better .grain and crop production. President Boosts Bill The total that win be affected by $he McNary reclamation bili now before congress will run In to millions of . acres.; President Harding has agreed to treat c or this vitally important "measure in a congressional message at an early date. With the whole coun try so anxiously awaiting the re sumption Qf big construction works that mark the certain re turn of as elusive confidence, the speedy, rati fication of such a meas ure on a colossal scale would make the national spirits bounce like a live rubber balk Few states would gain more fhroogh this sort of national development, it is said, than would 'Oregon.

Invitations have also bt;en sent abroad to Portland and other nearby cities to the 4-L members and citizens. The 4-L is trying to make it one of the best celebrations S'lverion has had. Ben Carlson, who is chairman of the finance comrriltec, says that financially th'i celebration is a foregone success. Auto drivers who have occas ion to travel north out of Salem wHl hear with great joy the an nouncement that prospects arc brightening for the pavkig - of North Summer street, from the end of the' present paving to con nect with the paved fair grounds road.

Session Important The bill to permit tho war fi nance corporation to finance peace measures, such as prunes and wheat and other Oregon products. is already in operation. Two mil lion bushels of Oregon wheat has been handled already under this act. The fruit men of every kind who -may be in need of loans or of capital to get the products to a foreign market that will buy, are in line for such assistance un der the same measure. The sena tor believes that the session ol congress just closed has been one of the best agricultural sessions in many years. More widespread benefit will come from its acts and its attitude, he thinks, than from almost any other congress in his tory. The coal war in West Virginia came to the -crucial stage after .the senator left the far east, and he had nothing to say of it from a national point of view. - Important Posts Held As chairman ot tho senate com mittee on irrigation, which is recognized as one of the greatest and most far-reaching of all gov ernmental enterprises for internal development, and as one of the (Continued on page 2) The picnic begins at 10 o'clock.
