The nr ires for'tbe past twdjyears have, bfjea ruinous.; and the row ers faced financial anninilatton.': The new association, as ex plained by Mr. Mumford. took its growing-cost sheets direct' to the Northwest Canners association In annual , convention In1 , Portland, erly in -the winter,- and -asked the canners' cooperation in establish ing such prices as would make it possible for the growers to con tinue 1st the business. They found about -1000 acres of loans being grown in Washington, and about 7000 in Oregon, all of which were facing ruin at the old prices. The canners have cooperated royally with, the . growers, Mr. Mumford says, in trying to establish a price that will eare the 8700 acres of ; berries from destruction and their own - canneries fnra ' losing al 1 that tonnage or r ru U No prices are yet quoted, and It Is not yet settled Just about where the prices can stand in the face of the buying bears " or the" market They believe ' all Is working to wards an amicable price basis that will bet' fair ' to producer, canner, and consumer, and keep the in dpstry growing. ' '"-''In a recent visit to Seattle and Tacoma, Mr. Mumford found the Chamber, of Commerce deeply In terested in the whole matter; at Seattle they offered to cover the whole coast with the berry-cost facts and arguments, if necessary, and swore to prevent any logan berry in Washington from selling under six cents A pound" If It was at all possible to maintain that as a price that pays the growers their costs and a fair margin of profit. They also started a vigorous cani- paign, to urge every, community to make a national howl against the scandalous profiteering and gambling in Sugar; cheaper sugar being the life of the canning -in dnstry. " The sugar prices that have been soaring so incredibly just as the time is approaching for the. berry harvest to begin, now bid fair to almost . ruin the can ning industry' by making it diffl cult' to finance. the sugar-costs of canning. . . , ; FLAG POLES ARE WITHOUT BANNERS : (Continued from; page 1) "The i boards , of i directors in the several school districts of this state shall procure a United States flag of suitable f size and shall cause said flag to be displayed upon or near f etch public.

' The aim' will.be to pre? sent at least one old' favorite for each concert and some novelty at least once a month. Mr. Hawley was a pupil of the late Robert Hope-Jones, a ; noted English organist, and inventor of (he Wurlitzer Hope-Jones unit orchestral . organ, the ? type now installed In the Oregon, and which Is the second largest in the state. Mr. Hawley was organist at 1 the Vitagraph theater, New York city. the Cort theater," Chicago, the Ti- voll and Strand theaters la San Francisco,7 and elsewhere.

Having met with: uniform kind ness . and courtesy from t em ployee of the ' road ' during ; the 14 or . 15 years of its -existence, I certainly . claim to '. be a -friend of the line, and as such , I -venture " a ; few su ggestions as - to why people are . permitting the cars to go empty on many of its trips," -while the stages are'a fall of passengers as1 a porcupine Is of: quins. - r- vfvs - s' ' ; rl It- does not take very many people to make a stage load, and as the stages run through . ter ritory long settled up, along es tablished i routes of travel,, the persons using the stage line now, 1 (yr 3 1 : FL - . 1 j oTCT t you . : llf iCartoott Co '' - K rive long distances to rfach an Oreeon Electric station. That line, runs through new .. country R.rrd - through no- l.r.- towns or even villages of any consequence upon which to draw. But' the road has done much to develop that section, and , but. .for a-few mistakes In management would enjoy the exclusive patronage of those living at or near the. line. The mistake that stands lout prominently with ' me, . and many of, -v neighboring farmers. Is that the trains do not run at hours convenient for our traveling. The . southbound- morning, train leaves my station, (Quinaby). at 12 minutes past 8 o'clock,- and in order, to catch that, we must arise while it is still nlgh Be cause we; have the cows to mjlk, the horses to feed, water, c'urry ; the chickens to feed and water; the sitting hens to throw olf the nests: breakfast to, get i and the dishes.' to wash; the- children- to dress, Jeed and. start to-school, and ourselves to dress a couple of times, since we cannot? go , to town in the attire that we have worn -while, doing the' chores.' But; saying that we - do all thia, and take that 8:12 train. Here we - are at Salem at 8 r30. when it is ; so early, almost no body has a fire, and if you' have business at an. office you ,:, find nobody. But- a janitor who does not seem to , hanker for your so ciety, and as you cannot get in the, bank . until . 10 o'clock, you have no money with which to go shopping. So , you t stand ' around on, the. street- corners - looking, (and feeling) like the last rose of summer for an hour or "two. Now if the 1 0 o'clock limited train were : made a. local that would get several dozen of ua te trwn Just right- And If the 4 o'clock northbound f :. limited were ; made a local, that would get "U3 ""home ' J nst Tight."' . Thus we .can. return home; on 'the schcol train a't 3:30, except Sat urday i and ... Sunday, , which. hap pen v to be the.-daya r.we? prefer to travel, as there - are special bargains in. the . stores on" Sattttf day,' and. some ol.ua would Jike to go to., church on Sunday- but not at 8. In the. morning.. And as (or waiting until the B: 30 local, that woud'bring us home in -the dark and. net many of us care to stir up the livestock after they have retired, for the. night. And there has never been'; a nigh" train that, .would - permit , us to attend, a lecture,, concert -or church. .' , ' They say; that the ; passenger traffic will not sustain the Iin unless supplemented j by Consider able, freight "and express. My own fare to Salem and' retnrn in past years - averaged ;,f&6 l a year; and to Portland one - year was $100, so that the passenger fare ' of a few handred-i people should - help some.
