Sims Guards Expressions In Talk Today Iondon, June 10. Hear Ad miral William S.

"Perhaps we have used too enereetic adiectives on some oc casions," he said, but let us hop fVj-J.!,, Vorrfivr ..... -.ii h. .mlohlT einlained VrOUrT S V CnllCt Shortage of Boxes Hits Berry Men Growers Forced to Ac cept 2 and 3 Cents per Pound in Bulk To Save Crop Shortage of containers In the hands of the growers and the cool er weather of yesterday and todav served to restrict the quantity of strawberries offered on the local market this morning and prevent a further slump In the price. Patch run berries were nettine the growers around $1 and firsts about $1.25 a crate this morning, with the visible supply at the low mark for the week. They were retailing at 5 cents a box and four for 25 cents. Bulks Prices Low growers who have failed to provide an adequate supply of con tainers beforehand and are there fore, unable to put their berries on the retail market In town are disposing of their pick to the can ners at 314 cents a pound, or are selling direct to the consumer in bulk. Some growers are sell ing tueir bulk berries at the patch for as low as 2 cents a pound or 3 cents delivered in town. The hetghth of the season for Oregons. the large table and jam berry, has passed but the cooler weather will keep them on the market at about the present price until tne nrst of the week it Is believed. Wilsons, the berry most handled by the canneries, will be ripening heavily by the first of the week and Monday Is expected to see all of the local canning plants running at capacity. The Oregon Packing company will be the only buvero on k. open market, the other concerns limiting their operations to berries under contract or, in the case of co-operative concerns, to the ber ries of member growers. Housewives who contemplate canning are advised that the price has probably reached the low mark for the season and next week will probably see a slight stiffening in the retail market. Camp Site Said To Be Execellent Party Returns From Lane County Tour; Mountains Found to Be Beautiful The McCredie Springs camp site in Lane county selected tor the Bov Scouts camn this summer is ideally located, according to the party of local men who returned Thursday after a four-day Inspec tion of the camp and surroundings. It is pronounced one of the beauty spots of the mountain, and with the enlarging of the camn eauin- ment that is planned, it will make a camp this summer that will be hard to equal, in the opinion of Harold Cook, local scout executive During the inspection of the camn. P. E. Fullerton. Roger Gree ory and Mr. Cook made the 12- mile hike to Salt Creek falls, one of the many attractive wonders that are located near the camn The falls plonge over a precipice 300 feet high into the canyon below. The woods were simply wonder ful in the abundance of wild flow ers that are in full bloom at this time, and C. B . Clancy, local florist, who accompanied the party with his professionally trained eye, could not refrain from stoc ping on the return to pick out some of the choicest and decorate his car. "Mr. Clancy has decorat ed many floats,- said Harold Cook, "so he knows the same. Hut this time we looked like a whole parade. People asked us if we were going to the Rose Festival but we would throw them a posy and let it go at that. If it wasn't for the flowers. I don't know what Clancy would have done," he continued. "I had assured them on the grounds of a rumor that the road beyond Oak Ridge was newly planked, and the only planks we found were on the bridges. In fact, they were equally disgusted at my enuthus lasm over the roads and the fish ai me natcnery. There was neither." The report of the Inspection committee will be made at the meeting of the executive council Monday.
