Loganberries finding a .
Market in Great Britain
PORTLAND, Adg.' 12. Accord
ing to the figures compiled by the
traffic department of the Port of
Portland, exports of canned goods
from Portland during the month
of July were particularly heavy
for this tiinefof the year. In tact
were heavier than for any month
during the past two years with
the exception of November, 1923.
I On July 24 the Dominion Miller
of the Furness T (Pacific) line,
cleared from Portland with a cargo
of 26,423 cases of canned goods
destined for various ports In the
United Kingdom. The weight of
these' canned goods amounted to
more than a million pounds which
makes it one of the largest cargoes
of this commodity ever to leave
Portland. .. J ; i -
An interesting fact in connection
with this cargo was that there
were 20.811 cases of canned logan
berries Included, s This Is a berry
which Is peculiar to the north
west. .The demand In the United
Kingdom is becoming heavier
year by year as the merits of this
fruit are becoming ; known. Be
sides the loganberries the balance
of the canned goods cargo was
made up of strawberries and rasp
berries. 1

GROB URGED
TO SELL PRUNES
Small Grades Should Be
Moving, Says Kurtz Af
ter Investigation
While the producers of this dis
trict have on hand an unusually
large quantity of prunes.! those
grading 50-60 and G0-J0. there is
a better opportunity to market
them at a desirable price than: has
been afforded the growers in
years, according to F. A. ; Kurtz,
representing the green prune buy
ers, who has i been doing some
close figuring on the situation . in
recent days.
"Growers are advised to dispose
of their green prunes at once for
a number of reasons," said Mr.
Kurtz. "In the first place a prof
itable figure is offered for, them.
In the next place to dispose of
them now will have a tendency to
boost the dried prune market, in
volving the bigger prunes, i a few
months hence. Another reason Is
that if the prunes are to be mark
eted green they must move! within
the next two weeks or they will be
too ripe to handle. Still another
reason is the danger of rain, which
would ruin the market in I a Tew
hours. n;' V I I
"The green prune 1 buyers are
offering the growers $25 a ton
for the green prunes, which is the
equivalent of 5 cents a pound
for the dried prunes.; Also 125 a
ton means 75 cents a bushel,
which should net' the growers 58
cents after 12 cents has'.been de
ducted for picking and 5 cents for
cartage. That is better than wait
ing to sell the dried prunes at 5
cents a pound, even if .the; grow
ers Were sure of getting that fig
ure. A bushel of prunes dried! is
reduced in weight to 18 pounds
At 5 cents this is 99 cents a
burhel. - But there is a drying cost
of 36 cents, .and a picking and
cartage cost of 10 cents a bushel,
which reduces the price to a net
of 53 cents, to say nothing of the
further cost for s hauling to the
packing house after drying, or
shaking off the trees. !
"To sum up, there 'is the-difference
between 58 cents and 53
cents, or 5 cents a Dushel in favor
of disposing of the fruit now while
the opportunity is here." I

Clear Lake Water by
! Analysis Is Found Pure
ALBANY, Or., Aug. 12 Water
which would be brought to Wil
lamette valley towns by the pro
posed Clear lake water and power
project, is remarkably pure, ac
cording to ihe report of P.rof. J. A-
Berry of Oregon Agricultural col
lege, bacteriologist, received today
by Judge Victor Olliver, secretary
of the Willamette Valley Pure
Water Development league.
The report was accompanied by
letter from Prof. II. S. Rogers
stating that the bacteriological
test shows an "unusually low
counts of bacteria.
The report of a sample taken at
the ;'big spring" on Clear lake
shows eight bacteria per cubie
centimeter of water; one sample
taken from near the middle of the
lake: shows 32 bacteria, and an
other taken nearby contains ;24
per cubic centimeter. A total of
100 bacteria per cubic centimeter
is considered permissible.
Professor Berry says that there
is no evidence of sewage or other
harmful organisms in the water.
A chemical analysis of the water
is also being made, but has not yet
been completed

' SPANISH HOLE
Navarro Plays the Role of a
Spaniard in ''Thy Name
Is Woman"
Featuring such stars as Ramon
Navarro, Barbara La. Marr, Wal
lace MacDonald and Claire Mac
Dowell. the latest Fred Niblo pro
duction. "Thy Name is Woman,"
wiJl open at the Oregon theater
Wednesday.
Originally the play was pre
sented on the stage on Broadway,
where it was one of the big suc
cesses of last year. Mary Nash
and Jose Rubens played the prin
cipal roles.
An interesting i feature of the
film portrayal la ! the fact that
Navarro in this production plays
the role of a Spaniard, his own
nationality. Navarro was born of
Spanish parents and was brought
up in Durango, Mexico. At an
early age he gave evidence of ex
ceptional dramatic talents, being
especially adept at musi6. When
older he decided to take up the
stage as a profession and realizing
opportunities were far more nu
merous in the United States, he
came north.
His ability as a dancer won him
a place in the Marion Morgan
dance troupe, and it was not long
before he found himself In Cali
fornia. Rex Ingram saw him and
put hint in the role of Rupert of
Hentzau in "The Prisoner of
Zenda." He made an instan
taneous success, and his acting
future was assured.
He next appeared In "Trifling
jYomen," in which he shared hon-
F7iru wlfli ni,Koro: T .a Tnrr - anrl
Lewis Stone; This served to
bring Miss La Marr and Novarro
to stardom. '
After that came "Where the
Pavement Ends," which, was his
first role as h real honest-to-goodness
hero, j Then "Scara
mouche," the big Rex Ingram
special in which Novarro rose to
great heights and placed himself
at the head of male film stars.
Shropshire County Picnic
at Doerflers Great Success
The Shropshire "picnic at the
Doerfler farm last ... Sunday was
attended by over two hundred
people. Thirty-six members of
the boys' and girls clubs took
part in the all afternoon judging
contests.
Mr. Smith of the St. Paul bank
had his club members present.
Keber Bros, of Mt. Angel were
there with their members as was
also Geo. F, Rodgere of the First
National bank of Salem.
F. A. Doerfler, club leader,
took charge of the boys and girls
in the absence of Mr. Bailey, as
sistant state club leader, who
could-not be present. O. M. Doer
fler brought some of his Durocs
which were used in the contest
of judging hogs.
The sheep judging was animat
ed and Intelligent. 1 The demon
stration was regarded as very
successful.
One of the features of the day
was viewing the alfalfa field
which was pronounced by all
present fully up with the advance
notices. -
'A fine dinner was served under
the big oaks and after all had
partaken there was still plenty
left.
The Doerflers Shropshires were
at their best. Mr. Doerfler ia
president of the state association
and naturally feels that he should
keep his eheep so as to illustrate
the best type; of the breed, which
he has done. ! ;
