"It looks like there's an im mense lot of house building, and there really is, but they don't go Into the renting market. They are homes built mostly by people who hadn't any other place to go. Some of the new owners have been cooped up in little places that they called home, fcut they haven't had room, and simply had to build. There are so many of such cases, that the extra number of houses affords only very little relief. If a family spreads out decently into a home of its own, where it has been crowded into only one-half its rightful space, and it leaves its old cooped- up quarters for the other family to expand a little, too, why, the city doesn't gain numerically In the number of homes. "These new homes are not be ing offered for either sale or rent: that is, not many of them. Tho city was short of homes, and it's taking a long time to catch up. The catching up is so slow that rents haven't fallen perceptibly. If at all, even with all th new building. "There has not been a great deal of movement in -farm prop erty, but city lots have been in quite good demand, and the build ing trades couldn't ask for a bet ter harvest season." An interesting side-light on the building condition is the state ment of Rev. D. H. Chambers, pas-tor-superintendent of the building for the new St. Paul's Episcopal church. The church officers have had the church foundation ready all this week for the laying of the tile walls, but have found no brick masons free to come on to Milner, Prineville; C. E.

New Bank Incorporated for Nehatem Valley Folk Frank C. Bramwell, state su perintendent of banks, yestefday approved articles of incorporation for the new Bank of Wheeler, in Tillamook county, which has been organized to replace the Nehalem Valley Bank which was closed Oc tober 24, 1921. The new bank has bought the building and fix tures of the former bank. Mr. Bramwell said that as soon as the new bank has subscribed its capital and its by-laws have been drawn up it will be granted a charter. The new bank has a capitaliza tion cf $15,000.

The proverb '-It never rsins, but it pouis," might come true this fall after an incredibly dry sea son. For rears th nroblem of tr- . int bt, prunea ln wet weather has been a bugbear to the big fruit grower. i Arthur Hedeen of Portland be- lieves there is .i real answer. Ht ! has built it out of steel and can vas, and he is to exhibit it at the Producers' Canning & Packing company plant Sunday, north of Commercial and Jefferson streets. Mr. Hedeen had a model of his wet-weather prune picker on ex hibition at the state fair three years ago, and it attracted more attention, it is said, than any oiu er machine in five years. It. was n't then up to Its present stage of perfection, but the idea was there. It is simple enough. It is real ly only a canvas cone. 12 feet in diameter, roped to. an octagonal steel Jrame or hoop mounted on two wheels, with an opening at the bottom of the cone to let the prunt-3 through Into a box. -The machine is run' up to a tree, the front side of the cant as frame is unlatched and the pick er is run clear In to the tree trunk and the side Is cldded dOtrn again, leaving the tree stand np In the center of the canvas cone. " The tree is then shaken, and the prunes that fall are shunted Into the boxes beneath the funnel opening. When the tree refuses to give down any more, the can vas is unho kcd. the machine Is trundled on to the next tree and so on. No prune ever falls on anything but a soft canvas that does It no harm. The trees are not picked clean; instead, they are' visited every day or two. and the ripe fruits ehaken down. One picker, with two men to manipulate it and pei haps a third to handle the boxes, will cover 10 acres a day. If it should be pouring' rain'. r W Mil their friends about the values we have; more and UNDERWEAR SALE Men's Light Weight Union Suits, reg ular $l.50...;...;.::z :..:. .:..,:...95c Men's-Balhriggan Shirts and Drawers, suit:.v :--80c , to It would stilt be possible to go ahead with the harvest, work and not get" & speck of mud tra- the fruit. As the fruit does not lie on the ' ground, it' does not become damaged in the rain. It can be hauled off to the dryer, and put into the tunnels almost as well as If th weather had been dry. Ths picker idea baa "been thought over for years, but thi seems to be the nearest to a prac tical solution of anything yet de vrsei. A machine sells for about 11S. but it looks as If it ought to last for two generat'ona all save the canvas: and this would be readily replaceable, after serv ing four or five years.
