Fare Tea Ifie capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Up Big Tasks Before Congress Ratification of Peace Treaty, Revenue and Tariff Legislation Scheduled for Action By H. X Reynolds Washington, Sept. 16. Multi tudinous tasks. Including revision or the tariff and internal revenue laws, the ratification of the Ger man peace treaty and scores of lesser Important bits of legislative business will confront the senate when it convenes again late in September to complete the work undertaken during the extraordl nary session of congress called by President Harding in April. The eyes of the nation will be turned upon the upper branch of the national legislature when the wheels of law-making machinery begin to revolve again, because the major purposes of the present ses sion have already been accom plished by the lower house, and it It now up to the senate to finish the Job. House leaders "point with pride" to the grist which has come from their part of the legis lative mill since April, and have decided to let the senate go it alone for a few weeks after con frees reconvenes, while they re main In session only formally and transact no business. Chairman Penrose, of the senate tbtance committee, will bring out the Fordney revenue bill soon aft er the senate gets back on the job and, when it is tinkered with and finally passed, will give his col leagues a chance to wrestle with the new tariff bill. Many weeks will be occupied before these im portant fiscal measures are adjust ed In conference between the two houses and sent to the white house for presidential approval. There are whispered rumors that action on the tariff bill may be deferred until after the disarmament con ference, which is due to get Under way in November. Many weary weeks will pass while the senate argues over the ratification of the peace treaties with Oermany and Austria, and It Is generally admitted that these two documents will not receive senatorial approval during tho ex traordinary session, though it Is probable that there will be some discussion of them. To Opnose Finance Bill One of the big party fights of the wind up of the present SBHslon will be over Senator Borahs bill to grant free passage through the Panama canal to American vessels engaged in coastwise trade. Presi dent Harding has Indicated his disapproval of the legislative method of granting free tolls to American ships, believing that the matter should be adjusted through diplomatic channels; but Borah Insists that the senate pass his bill and he will make a strenuous ef fort to put it through. Dallas Prune Pickers Open Season Today Dallas, Or., Sept. 1. Prune picking started In quite a number of orchards on Monday morning and by the first of next week the harvest of the fruit will be In full swing. Opinions differ so widely as to the likely yield that the outcome will be watched with more than usual interest. It Is generally be lieved, however, that the tonnage will be heavier than is expected by the growers. This will be due to the fact that some of the orchards have a comparatively normal crop, while others have but a small yield. Admittedly, the fruit la or unusual quality, and of large size. Growers are having no diffl culty in engaging plenty of help, and as the hop crop will be cared for In less than another week a large number of workers will be released for employment in the prune orchards. No change has been made In agreed upon price for picking prune: 6 cents a box, with a bonus of 2 cents a box for those who stay through the sea son. Prune growers are more encour aged at the outlook than at any time since last fall. Due to the fact that this year's crop was be ing contracted for so far the grow ers' association has withdrawn from the market. It is confident ly believed that when offerings are again made that it will be at a figure somewhat In excess of the opening prices. Some believe thut the best grade will be above the 10-cent mark. In sending word 10 its members that offers to sell had been withdrawn the officers of the association took the position that at the rate prunes have been sell ing that the entire 1921 crop would have been contracted for in a few months. It was felt that there is a possible opportunity to get a slight increase in price. which the growers need after last year's disastrous selling. If the Increase is secured prune growers will make a fair profit even with a short crop. Wine, Women And Speed Bergdoll's Course In College Auto Thief Given Ten Years In Pen Eugene, Or., Sept. 16. George Joe Jackson, Indicted a few days ago by the Lane county jury on a charge of theft of an automobile In Eugene and of assault with in tent to rob, pleaded guilty in cir cuit court and was sentenced by Judge Skipworth to serve 12 year in the state penitentiary. The grand jury Thursday indict ed H. W. Kelley and Byron V. Tur ner, charged with forgery; John Sherman, accused of obtaining money under false pretenses; Alexandria Neyra, charged with burglary; Earl Tlllotson, charged with a statjtory offense; and L. R. Wilson, charged with larceny of an automobile. Sidelights on the character of Grover Bergdoll, notorious mil lionaire draft evader, which pic ture him in his college days as a youth who went in for strong liq uor, wild women and speeding automobiles, were given today by A. C. Hopkins, now with the state bonus commission, who attended the University of Pennsylvania during the time Bergdoll was a student there. "He was one of those fellows that evidently go to college for a good time," said Hopkins. "He went in for speed more than any thing else. He had a flock of au tomobiles and was always getting pinched for speeding. "His escapades were mentioned on the campus whenever he was arrested with always the remark: 'Well, Grover's pinched again.' "He used to go to New York with his cronies, and the only par ticular Incident I remember of his trips there was one time, when he was returning, be was arrested for speeding and fined $50 and costs. It didn't seem to worry him. It was 'in again out again' with him almost every week, sometimes twice a week, until every cop in Philadelphia knew him. "He had few friends, except those he could attract by his mon ey, and he was never mentioned as a student. In 1911 he left and I do not know where he went. By what he was in college, I was not surprised at what happened after we entered the war." Mr. Hopkins was in the class of' 1914 at the University of Pennsyl vania, and has been in Salem but a short time. Conference On Pole Question Is Suggested A conference between the Pos tal Telegraph company and the state highway commission Is rec ommended by the public service commission in an order Issued this morning, as the only practical so lution of the controversy now ex isting between these two factions over the attempt of the Postal peo ple to erect a pole line on the river side of the lower Columbia highway between Astoria and Goble. Pending such a conference the commission orders that the Postal Telegraph company delist from continuing the construction of the pole line as contemplated between Goble and Astoria. The order declares that a com mon user agreement between the Postal and Pacific companies, as suggested by the highway depart ment would be utterly Impractical and denies the jurisdiction of the commission to either grant or deny franchises to utllltes for the use of the public highways. . "Conferences have heretofore been held and beneficial results secured, and in this Instance it was stated by representatives of the Postal company, at the time of inspection of the highway, that every effort would be made by this company to avoia lnierrerencc with the scenic attraction of the hiahway." the order points out. "The commission therefore recom mends that a consistent effort be made by highway and Postal en eineers to establish a route that will avoid the necessity for plac ing poles on the river side of the scenic portions of the highway further It recommends that a more substantial round pole of neater appearance be substituted and that the split poles be reserved for service on other than principal highways." Circus Vouches For Every Word In Story Of Sells-Floto Coming Here W. A. Schultz, Irvin Wright and R. W. Cooley, the three Corvallis boys convicted on the charge of at tempting to rob the Halsey State bank, were each sentenced to serve one year in the penitentiary and then paroled.

Store Salem, Oregon They're coming to town the clowns, the lumbering elephants, the spangled folk, the bands, the hooting tooting calliopes, the white dappled horses and the many wonders that are Sells-Flo-to's "second largest show on earth," which carries, among its four hundred performers, "Poo dles" Hanneford, greatest clown rider of all time and the highest paid circus artist In all white top history. A large statement, but true, for "Poodles" and the riding Hanneford family constitute the only big, outstanding feature In the white top world. Getting the Hannefords away from the New York Hippodrome was no slight task, and beating out circus com petitors in the bidding strained even millionaires' purses. The "big thing" comes to Salem on Wednesday, September 21. You who have seen Sells-Floto for the last eight years a first rank circus during the last three sea sons, when " it has raced to the front as did Man O' War, will un derstand when it is asserted that the 1921 performance tops those of '19 and '20. You will also under stand what is meant when It is said that the show given at the annual spring opening stand in the Chicago Coliseum comes to you Intact. Sells-Floto has added an other stage to its arena, making three rings and two stages, and they'll be laid out before you on circus day. Better than that, they will be filled with feature acts the Hannefords, the Hobsonus, the Hodginls, the Hamido Madri Ar abs, the Otwagas Japanese, the Lindsays, the Whites, the Sleber Seals, the Steiners, Lou Grant, the La Fleurs and scores of others. In the air, the famous Codonas and the equally celebrated Nelsons, big flying troupes, will lead the usual strong Sells-Floto aerial offerings, with Alfredo, triple somersault, and Beatrice, the human top again among the pleasing mid-air thrill ers. The Sells-Floto animal acts will pease, even more so than last year, and, all in all, from parade to final big show display, the "second largest" bids for first place in your hearts.
