IY FIXED BY POOL PLAN :
Results of Agreement Will Re
Learned at Meeting Satur
day Mght
Agreement of loganberry grow
ers here two weeks ago to hold
for a fire cent price per pound or
to dry their berries and sell them
on that basis, apparently has been
effective in setting the price at fire
cents, it was indicated yesterday.
However, the period the grow
ers gave themselves to sell their
crops before deciding to dry the
berries, expires today. Whether all
will be successful has not been
learned.
To determine this point and to
find out how many berries will be
dried, representatives of the North
Pacific Cooperative Prune Ex
change have called a meeting of
loganberry growers for Saturday
evening at 8 o'clock at the Salem
chamber of commerce auditorium.
The prune exchange was instru
mental In calling the loganberry
men together originally, resulting
in the decision to bold the crop
for a five cent price. While the
cooperative was glad to assist in
this step, its own Interest in the
matter was to secure if possible
i considerable amount of logan
berries to dry. these to be market
ed under the Mistland brand
brand which enjoys a good de
mand, especially in Canada.
M. J. Newhouse, manager of the
exchange in Portland, will be here
Saturday night with information
lbout dried loganberry market and
the prices that may be expected.
Fred Ewing. secretary of the lo-.-al
branch of the exchange, will
preside.

Two Women Plan to Start Trips

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. June 14.
(AP). Tomorrow's rising sun, it
seemed probable- tonight, will
shine down, on two American
women flying, along different
courses to Europe, unless the su
perstition against beginning an
undertaking on a Friday holds
one ashore.
The women are Miss Amelia
Earhart and Miss Mabel Boll.
Miss Earhart announced at Tre
passey today that she would take
off with her two-man crew at 2
a. m. Eastern daylight time, by
way of the Azores, where a stop
will be made for fuel.
Miss Mabel Boll was waiting at
Harbor Grace for weather favor
able for a hop along the great cir
cle course. She also has two men
to operate her plane.
It is Miss Boll, using Charles
A. Levine's trans-Atlantic mono
plane Columbia, who has strong
ideas about Friday. She postponed
taking off on the first leg of her
flight from Roosevelt field be
cause preparations were not com
pleted until Friday.

ERED UPOX CANDIDATE
All Comment Withheld For Time
Being When Newspaper Men
Seek Interviews
By CLINTON COFFIN
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON. June 14 (AP)
In a flushed but obviously hap
py silence, Herbert Hoover to
night accepted the congratulations
of his closest friends upon the at
tainment of the republican presi
dential nomination. But he with
held all comment, and retired to
bed to let tomorrow take care of
his new problems and honors.
Informed at every phase of' the
progress of the convention toward
his nomination the secretary got
the final news of his success in his
private study, surrounded by
friends and neighbors. He was
swamped for a moment by the tide
of congratulations and felicitation
that swept oyer him. but broke
away presently, to meet the group
of newspapermen who had waited
for the balloting with him.
Smiling broadly, he shook his
head in answer to the demand for
statements and comment, prom
ised to see them tomorrow, and
turned away. Nor would his cam
paign aides do further for the mo
ment, though they gave the night
up exclusively to the jublation
that had been mounting.
From early in the evening, the
Hoover - family had kept open
'louse to a small circle of intimate
friends and neighbors, most of
them distinguished in public life.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoover sat with
them early in the evening, but as
the great moment of nominatioii
approached, the secretary retired
o his study desk, just off the par
lors. and there kept up his watch.
Herbert Hoover, Jr., managed the
big radio, and the throng present,
reacting to the radio report, stag
id a republican convention in min
ature, cheering with the demon
strations for their friend, and
rrowing silent at the infrequent
hostile demonstrations.
Mrs. Hoover was close to her
husband sharing the triumph and
is the actual convention began
tension swung high.
Only once during the evening
iid the gathering have even the
shadow of a chill thrown upon its
hopes and that was when the nom
inating speech went in for Presi
dent Coolidge. Dead silence fol
lowed this portion, but the secre
tary was out of public sight. Again
as the impromptu conventioneers
grabbed pencils and the roll call
began there was silence.

Released from their obligation

dential nomination, the Oregon
delegates to the republican na
tional convention, were, free to
night to line up with the other
Hoover, states in support of a run

choice.
A telegram freeing Oregon's
representatives from instructions
given them by the primary prefer
ence vote, was received by the del
egation today after leaders asked
Hall yesterday that the obligation
be raised.- -
. Their decision, reached at a
breakfast meeting yesterday, was
based on the ground that Hall's
candidacy was hampering them in
efforts to agree upon some other
man , who will be supported v by
other Hoover delegations. ;
- Hall, they explained, permitted
hie name to be entered . in the
Oregon primary without' any In
tention of t making a serious ' race

Dawes, but Rep. Tilson of Connec

Gov. Fuller of Massachusetts, and
fully a score of others still were
in the running. The overnight re
cess will afford opportunityfor the
nominee himself, in Washington to
communicate to party leaders here
any word of advice he may have
for them.
It is the expectation of many of
Hoover's friends that he will re. '
sign shortly as secretary of com- ' ;

weeks of consultations at the cap

will move to his home at Palo Al
