In five and 10 carload lots the price quoted hi New York was 5 cents for! 4 50s, the lowest offering of thelsea fton. 'Prunes of this size had been offered by , the independents at 6 and 6Vi cents a pound. As Rob ert' C. Paul us, of the Oregon Growers, is now in New York it is believed he made the offerings in order to clean up this size for ex port trade. In commenting upon the prices yesterday, M. J. Newhouse, gene ral manager, said that whatever offer Is made it must be passed by the dried fruit committee and receive sanction before the prunes can be sold at any price. Mr. New- house also said that v Mr. Paulas had been authorized by the board to endeavor to clean up the prune crop, i HUD H WIT "There's no sweeter music than the rustling of the palms," sings the poet.

For the purpose of soliciting the aid of the chamber of com merce a committee of representa tive farmers of that district call ed in Salem yesterday to see if some means might be provided for a free ferry until a permanent bridge is bulit. At the present a charge of 25 cents is made for the trip across the river by ferry. As the farmer must make two ferry trips, every time he comes to Salem to trade, he is penalized half a dollar. The men who visited the chamber of commerce yesterday said they wanted to trade in Salem if pos sible, but as long as this charge was made at the ferry they would be forced to trade in Portland or in other towns on their side of the river. load was sold recently at $1.25, f.o.b.

CHEESE FACTORY HIS GOOD YEAR Newspaper Advertising Brigns Prune inquiries Letters written in various lan guages are being received at the office of the Oregon Growers as sociation as a result of one week's advertising campaign on prunes in the east. The replies are the di rect result of newspaper advertis ing. M. J. Newhouse, general manager of the association, is well pleased with the' number of inquiries, which, he says, is direct proof of the value of newspaper advertising. Lower Broccoli Rate Is Not Allowed By the SP Notwithstanding the fact that the Uiupqua Broccoli exchange de clares that it cannot compete with the California ater rates, the Southern Pacific company refuses in a letter received by the public service commission, to lower the rate on broccoli from Roseburg to other points, notably Portland. "Our rates from California to Portland," says the letters, "are water competitive and less han normal by authority of the inter state commission. In this case the rate from Roseburg is 7 cents per 100 pounds less than the rate from California shipping points, and no question of competition is involved that would warrant a still lower rate from Roesburg on that account. Furthermore, the pres ent rate of cents per 100 ounds from Roseburg to Port land is a special commodity rate that we established for buyers who agreed to, and so fas as we know, are entirely satisfied with the adjustment."
