New York was 5 cents for! 4

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

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-

Charges Prevent Fanners
From Trading In Salem
Is Complaint Made
Farmers living across the Wil
lamette river in the vicinity of the
Wheatland ferry are becoming
tired of the 50-cent penalty impos
ed upon them everytime they want
to come to Salem.
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. Salem, fdr extra faucies.
Orders for two j carloads in the
next few-days are expected while
it Is anticipated the balance will
bo taken care.ofj by April 1. Ten
carloads are iu cold storage in the
east and the remainder are in
Oregon, ready for shipment.

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."
