Repre sentatives of the association plan to stage a three weeks campaign in the county and expect to con tract for 50 per cent of the grain raised in this section, according to C. A. Barnes, assistant organi zation manager, who was in Sa lem yesterday. The Oregon association is plan ned as a unit of the national as sociation, with headquarters in Chicago, whose organization is go ing on simultaneously with that cpnducted ETAOI etaoi shrdl ss which is now being conducted in the grain growing states. According to Mr. Barnes, the plan of the association calls for a six-year contract for the pooling and marketing of grain by al members through the national or ganlzatlon. Farmers will receive a uniform price for grain of the Man Fighting In Chinese Cafe Is Jailed by Police An argumentative mood which overcame R. H.

The association will be financed largely through the local banks, according to representatives, the loan value on the wheat receipts being advanced to the producers. Officers of the organization have recently been working In Clackamas county, and will grad ually work Into Marion county for the campaign here. Through out Washington and Idaho approx mately 30,000,000 bushels of grain are already under contract, according to the estimate of Mr. aBrnes, and the progress in Clack amas county is reported to be fav orable. The general manager of the as sociation at present is George Jew ett, formerly secretary treasurer of th Federal land bank of Spo kane. A. R. Shumway, president of the Farmers Union of Oregon, is president of the board of di rectors. According to the representatives the association is meeting with the approval of such bodies as the state grange, the farm bureau and the farmers' union. The market ing scheme is Identical with that used by the fruit interests in the noon in the Rose city by Salem. The score was 7 to 4. Having defeated five college teams this season, Columbia uni versity has an unusually brilliant record and the game bere tomor row will likely be well worth wit nessing. Little "busher" ball was seen in yesterday's contest at Portland, aud only one error was chalked against Salem during the aine innings. Much cradit for the vic tory has been placed on the shoulders of Ashby and Caughlll, who made up the local battery. The work of Stockton, Columbia catcher, was highly praised by Coach "Tubby" Hendricks, of the Salem team. In .yesterday's game Max .-nes was substituted for "ePts" Rein hart after Reinhart had injured sn ankle. The game, according to Hendricks, was the best inter scholastic session in whicn Salem has yet figured, and he believes tomorrow's contest will be equally good.
