Camps at Auto Park Increase Tourist traffic by auto through .the state is heavier now than at any previous time this year, ac cording to indications from the local auto camp where the number of parties on the grounds each night runs betwen 85 and 100. On three nights recently the mark has passed 100, with the highest figure counted 103. Practically all the campers are tourists now, the previous run nf harvest workers who sought em ployment in local cherry orchards and berry fields having practically disappeared with the season. With the camp running so full there is some talk of putting on a man at night, although nothing definite has been done. Last year a policeman was kept on duty at the park all night during the busy season. With the number of camps on the increase daily It Is almost impossible for one man to keep the grounds in shape, accord ing to T. G. Albert, superintendent.

Explosions At Night Puzzle Auburn People Residents of the East Salem dis trict are still trying to fathom the mystery underlying the firing of a number of shots or blasts which routed the entire countryside out of their slumbers about 11 o'clock last night. Reports from the Auburn dis trict where the shots appear to have been heard most distinctly are to the effect that there were five explosions coming at inter vals of about one minute. The ex plosions are said to have been too loud for gun shots and the mid night hour is regarded as a most Inopportune time for legitimate blasting operations. The explosions were also heard by a number of residents of Salem who, however, state that they heard them only as dull thuds coming apparently from a distance. Ku Klux Klan Dangers Few Says Governor There need be no apprehension about the Ku Klux Klan becoming any very serious menace to our government, declares Governor 01 cott In acknowledging receipt of a Detifion from cftlzcns of Spring field asking that measures be tak en to suppress the activities of this secret organization in Oregon. "I have a great faith in the sbunfl sense of the people of our great commonwealth and I think our laws and our form of govern ment require no secret associations to assist them in properly func tioning for the libetfy and happi ness of our people," the governor's letter to the people of Springfield concludes. The petition filed with the gov ernor by the citizens of Springfield declares that "a crisis has arisen in the civic afairrs of this state on account of the organization of a branch of the Ku Klux Klan" and urges that the governor use his "utmost executive powers, by proclamation, martial law or the calling of an extra session of the legislature if need be to suppress the activities of this anarchistic gang, that the fair name of Ore gon may continue unbesmirched by lawless raiders who are trying to hide their guilt under the pre tense of Americanism."

California alone will produce close to 200,000,000 tons of prunes, although the estimates of the association in that state place the figures at 160,000,000, sta tistics show, and estimates of Ore gon and Washington crop are be tween 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 pounds. Domestic consumption, minus the stimulus of speculation, will provide a market for not more than 125,000,000 pounds (the verage anual domestic consump tion of pre-war 4ays was slightly under this figure), and it is im possible to figure the foreign de mand at more than the average pre-war figure of 60,000,000 pounds on the face of the existing adverse exchange rates and the JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY generally impoverished condition oi the foreign market. Foreign Market Weak. Low exchange rates and the scarcity of free money abroad is also soingto close that outlet to tpy other than cheap foodstuffs. What the canners will pay for their prunes still remains a matter Of considerable speculation, but it if certain the price will not reach a fancy figure. Last year the can ners were forced by the refusal of the growers' pool and co-operative association to sell to them to go Into the producers' markets on a competitive bidding basis that forced prices to a heighth never never before realized by the grow ers. This year the situation has already been reversed and the California and other associations are offering to supply canners with whatever prunes they will need. Just what prices these associa tions are making to the canners is not known, but it is known that some of the larger canneries have been calculating their selling prices on the basis of a price of $120 to $125 a ton for the green fruit. tion remained about the same. "If you increase the burden of your taxes you can not hope to attract new people and new wealth to your community. Seattle has A tax which has driven wealth away from that city. In other words, if we are to prosper we have got to set before the newcomer-.a better table than other communities." Sam Kozer, secretary of state, made a short speech regarding the gasoline law of the state and said that Washington and Montana had used the Oregon law as a ba sis for similar laws in their states. Judge Earl Race, city recorder, spoke briefly on the situation lo cally and stated that the taxes of the municipality tad never been lower in accordance with prevail ing conditions. Other short talks were made by Edward Schunke, of the ways and moans committee of the city coun cil. It. J. Mills, Salem realty man offered a solo. JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY. Tax Question Discussed For Realty Board 1 "The only way taxes will bo kept down is by the community taking an interest in taxation and reflecting that interest in their public officials," stated Herbert Gordon, member of the state leg islature and president of the Lawyers' Title and Trust associa tion, in speaking before the Ma rion County Realtors association at Its meeting in the Marion ho tel on the subject of taxation. "Thirty six of the counties of he state have exceeded their tax limitation," stated the speaker, "and let me say here that no tax limitation law will hold your tax es down. I ' i 'line dt the causes for high ! taxes paid is that the public wants luxuries, and this demand for such its reflected through the public of ficials. '""IP I "What we have got to do is to supervise the whole thing from jtho stnte down to the smallest mu nicipal government. "Increased taxes ought to go along with increased population. Many people contend that taxes wilt Increase in spite of the popu lation." The speaker stated that the tax Increase in Portland in five years had been 128 per cent while the population had increased 25 per ceni, wane ine prupwrfcj was pardoned by Governor Otcotv about a year ago. Although Siercks repudiated his confession shortly after making it Officials who are familiar with the details of the crime and Siercks confession are inclined to believe the confession rather than the re pudiation. Siercks was transferred to the cottage farm about two years ago and was employed tn work about the farm at the time he escaped by walking away yesterday. John Seircks Thought to Be At Silverton John G. Siercks, Inmate of the state hospital for the insane who escaped yesterday afternoon from the cottage farm where he had been working, has so far eluded capture but officials are thought to be close on his trail afid it is ex pected that he will be overtaken at any moment. Officers were sent ou this morn ing in answer to a report from Silverton, where a man supposed to be Siercks was seen going to the Silverton mill. He said he in tended to apply for work. Silver ton authorities were notified in an efofrt to have the man taken into custody, but further reports were lacking up to a late hour this aft ernoon. Siercks, who was committed to the state hospital from Columbia county in 1912, gained consider able notoriety in 1915 when he confessed to tho murder of Daisy Wehrman and her child near Coble, in Columbia county. John Arthur Pender was at that time serving a life sentence for the murder, one of the most atrocious in the history of the state, his sen tence to death having been com muted to life imprisonment by Governor Withycombe. Pender More Trout Fry To Be Planted Before the planting of trout fry by the Mlstland Field and Stream club is completed about 450,000 will 'have been turned loose in the streams of the county, according to au announcement of Edward Rostein, secretary of the club. The supply is being furn ished by the Meharaa fish hatch ery, and the work has been un dertaken by the club at the re quest of the state game commis sion. The planting will be appor tioned as follows: Abequa 150, 000, Mill Creek 180,000, Santiam 100,000, and 20,000 in still other streams. Parlor Millinery, 228 Oregon bldg. Remodeling a specialty.
