' About TAKE NO CHANCES BOOTLEGGERS IS ORDER TO OFFICERS Hereafter bootleggers will the hands of the local police as would any other hardened and dangerous criminal, according, to a statement issued to members of the local department last night by Chief of Police Verden Moffitt following and Grover C. Todd, federal Warren, Indian bootlegger, at midnight Sunday morning. ; "In the past officers have differently with a bootlegger than they would other types of criminals for the simple reason that offenders of that type, are more or less cowardly, but from how on when one of my officers goes out to make an arrest of a booze peddler that .officer is going to be instructed to go after his man with his revolver ready for action," Chief Moffitt said. Are Qnlck on Trigger "Most bootleggers; and moon shiners are of a low mental type and when they are cornered they are Just cowards enough that they will start shooting1, rather than face a Jail sentence. I want to say this for members Of the Bales department as a warning to the booze merchants: if they per sist in pursuing their nefarious trade, then they had better make up their minds that they are go ing to "be given all that is coming to themt when they, meet up with the officers, for weStre not going to take any chances in the fu ture," . That offenders of thld kind have been allowed almost a free hand In an adjoining county, is the Information given by an In dependence-man last night. One town not many miles from Salem, it is declared is permitted to run 'wide open" and bootleggers have been making weekly trips to the Canadian border, returning and giving the liquor to setreral bus! ness men to dispose of. Should one of the latter be arrested his fine is paid by the trafficker and the convicted man retires for sev eral months. Gambling Reported According to the Independence man gambling is also permitted to run wide open and the "eky Is the limit." When law enforce ment agents attempt a raid, ad vance Information is given the bootleggers and gamblers and all evidence is harried under cover. That other officers will adopt the same resolution as Chief , ot Police Moffitt is almost certain. as the killing of the two federal officers at .New Grand Ronde is the 'sixth murder resulting from attempted arrests of bootleggers during the last two months. Dr. J. A. Llnville, federal pro hibition agent,, has started a clean up campaign in Polk county, mak ing the statement Saturday night that many children had been sold liquor in the vicinity of Dallas and that -there bad been very few prosecutions or arrests.

THE WEATHFR mm MAKES 01 0 PHE PRICES IN CALIFORNIA ARE RECEIVED Fairer Competition Between Two States Is Brought About by New Schedule of Market Figures. OREGON PETITES ARE NEARLY ALL SOLD With Sugar Normal Italian Fruit Has Chance to Get Back Into Favor 'According to a message received Saturday by the Oregon Growers Cooperative association, opening prune prices have been announced by the California Prune & Apricot Growers association. .Their prices, applying on pltite prunes packed in 25-pound boxes, at "firm at opening price" basis, are as follows: ,3040s 14 1-2 cents. 4050s 11 3-4 cents. 6&60s 10 1-4 cents. 6070s 9 1-4 cents. 7080s 8 1-4 cents. 8090s 7 1-4 cents. 90lOOs 7 cents. Prunes sold other than on f. o. b. basis are 1-4 cent above the opening quotation. Growers' brand' are announced at 1-4 cent less than opening prices. Figure Not Unexpected. According to Oregon Grower of- flcials, this price scale is what was expected ana Dears practical tnP 94016 differential with Ore- gon prunes on nearly all sizes as prevailing market quotations of the past two years.

The one exception, the 90100 size, is a quarter to a cent in favor of the Oregon product. Competition Fair. The most Important thing is that Oregon gets this price In fair competition with the Californlans. The southern growers quote the 2040 size at 14 1-2 cents, less the quarter cent discount on grow ers brands. They will have very tbls slz "er. so the JSMS: for this size, though there win be a few of them, to offer when the season Is over. They will be held for at least an equal price with the California product. The Oregon product has been actually sold at these prices. which are agreed "to be reason able. An exceptional stampede in the market might bring higher prices later in the year though With the huge crop now in pros pect a decline rather than a rise might be expected. If that should come, the California growers might not clean up their crop this year. ' Italians Have Chance. The petites have ruled at high er prices than the Italians, and with good reason during the sugar shortage. But now that sugar has returned to a normal price, the Italians have a chance to climb into favor. Sugar is cheaper than the cheapest small prune and on thia basis, the Oregons are climb ing ' back Into favor. The Ore gons were offered at a lower price on the schedule made public some time ago. in some 'acres as much BISHOP ASKS COOPERATION IN CHURCHES Rt. Rev.

Pleas for a spirit of cooperation and for serious consideration of the increasing importance of wom en's work in the church featured a statement by the Right Rev erend Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, D.

He was a passenger on the first train the Union Pacific ever gent west of North Platte, Neb. "Great good comes to our cnurcn irom its general conven tion because of the companion ship, cooperation add brotherll ness that the meeting engenders," said Bishop Tuttle's statement. "Statutes for the regulation and government of the church are not the all-in-all of Importance. Of greater value is the spirit of al- lowance-making . and of fair playla8 of 65 years. in which men of different views and of different schools of thought meet each other and talk and work together.

If members ot the commission on prayer book revision have their views accepted. Episcopalians will no longer have read to them from me psaiter scriptural passages that are imprecatory in nature that call for 'dire vengeance or a curse upon enemies of the righte ous. This was indicated today In statements made by Dr. Charles L. Slattery, rector of Grace church. New York, who has been selected to present the report to the house of deputies. . "The whole attempt of the com mission," he said, "is "that of bringing the prayer book into ac- cord with the best truth and real- ity we -know.

In 6ome instances the objectionable portions are merely to be set off by spaces so they may be omitted "at the discretion of the minister." Typical verses ot the psalter which the revisionists think may well be neglected in the present day and age are such as these: Let their eyes be blinded, that they see not and forever bow down their backs." 'Tour out thine indignation upon them," and "Let them fall irom one wicxeansa into an other." BARM URN!) POSTAL IDS Right to Organize Granted But Not Against the . Government Itself BOSTON, Sept. 4. The wide distinction between thv "rights of industrial operatives and the cor responding right3 of government servants' was emphasized here to- night by First Assistant Postmas ter General Bartlett in an address before the annual convention of the national association of post office laborers. "Postal workers." he said, "may organize for the public good and for their mutual benefit but no group of men and women any where at any time has a right to organize against the government itself.
