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

their own - canneries fnra ' losing

prices are yet quoted, and It Is
not yet settled Just about where

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. . . , ;

Having met with: uniform kind

I certainly . claim to '. be a -friend
of the line, and as such , I -venture

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
