Willamette Road
To Be Fixed
The old road on the north bank
of the Willamette river above
Lowell will be Improved to a con'
slderable extent this spring, ac
cording to P. M. Morse, county
engineer. The county court has re.
ceived a petition, largely signed,
asking that the entire road be
graveled. The Improvements asked
for may not be granted entirely
but the road is expected to be
greatly improved.
The county's bulldozer has been
taken from Lorane to a slide on the
Sweets creek road on the opposite
side of the Siuslaw river from
Mapleton to clear a landslide that
has blocked the roadway. H. M,
Peterson's bulldozer has been rent
ed to clear the North Fork road of
the big slide that has blocked
traffic for several days.
The county engineer said Mon
day that the recent heavy rains and
high water have not greatly damag
ed the roads further than the
damage done by slides, but general
repair work will have to start soon
where minor washouts have occurred.

Mr. McCornack Is
Kiwanis Speaker
Some of the factors back of the
growth of the Eugene Fruit
Growers association within the
past 30 years to become one of
the largest concerns of its kind
in the northwest, about the larg
est vegetable packing plant in
this section, and the largest green
bean packing concern In the
world, were told by E. A. ft!c
Cornack, secretary-manager of the
company, in a talk for the Ki
wanis club, Monday noon. The
association during the past three
years has increased its pack from
529,000 cases to 1,200,000 cases in
1937, he told the club.
The country, its climate and
soil; the fine people; something
good from the "adversity" of
high freight rates over 3000 miles
to markets in that quality has
become obligatory; the ability to
maintain standardized production
in quantity; and the fact the plant
was "born right" were listed as
causes contributing to the suc
cess of the association. In ex
planation of some of these points,
Mr. McCornack pointed out that
with such distances to ship pro
ducts, the finest quality is ab
solutely necessary in order to
sell those products In competi
tion with those produced in cen
ters closer to the markets. The
foresight and sound business
principles of the founder of the
association have been outstand
ing factors in the company's
growth, Mr. McCornack pointed
out, mentioning the fact that
three of the original founders
are still officers of the associa
tion after 30 years service, Mahlon
H. Harlow, F. B. Chase and J.
Beebe.
Such an Industry Is filled with
economic triumphs and economic
tragedies, too, the speaker com
mented; going on to explain how
unforeseen conditions in economic
problems and marketing problems
loom suddenly to create quick
readjustments, as do changes in
social and living conditions. As il
lustration, he mentioned the
dried fruit industry's collapse,
largely because of changes in

Feral McQuin of Eugene was

county jail for 30 days by Jus

Monday on a charge of driving a
car while intoxicated. The jail
sentence was suspended and his
driver's license was automatically

H. K. McKee, arrested Friday

a charge of disorderly conduct,

used to be the homemaker would'
put on a pot of dried prunes
in the afternoon for the next
day's breakfast. Gas and electric
meters, however, have brought
about a situation where the home
maker calls up the grocer and
orders fruit juice that can be
served quickly without long
period of preparation.
The great problem back of such
an industry as the local plant
is to see to it that the goods
are sold at . prices which will re
turn an adequate living for the
growers, Mr. McCornack, con
cluded. Rex C. Stinchcomb was wel
comed as a new member. There
will be no luncheon next Monday
noon, a ladies' night dinner to
be given instead for the Kiwanis
anniversary.
in which they would have to give
change in silver or nickel.
There were indications that the
oil workers themselves might face
curtailed wages, instead of the in
creased pay they had fought for,
because of a government an
nouncement that it might be nec
essary to reduce production due to
difficulty in marketing oil prod
ucts abroad.
Ambassador Daniels, at a press
conference, indicated the com
panies must resort to Mexican law
at least as the first step in their
fight to regain their rich proper
ties. He said he had heard of no
proposal for international arbitra
tion. Daniels emphasized his re
gret at the seizure order.
