FUTURE OF BERRY
INDUSTRY TO BE
D HER

The loganberry Industry of this
part of the Willamette x Alley,
which Is again facing a very un
certain future, due to low prices,
will be fully discussed at a meet
Ins called of all berry growers of
Oregon, to be held Is the offices
of the Oregon Growers Coopera
tive association, Wednesday, De
cember 20.
The associations especially In
terested in the future of the logan
berry and which will send dele
gates to the meeting include the

Growers, Springbrook Packing

gene. During the season of 1922, there
was canned in Oregon, 243.63$
cases of loganberries. Figured on
a basis of 30 pounds to a case,
this means that 7,309.170 pounds
of fresh hemes were used in the
1922 pack of canned goods.
In addition to loganberries can

evaporated 4,000,000 pounds. It
is also estimated that in Oregon,
there was barrelled 3000 barrels
of 385 pounds each, amounting to J Hotelmen's

1,115,000 pounds. It is estimated
there was made Into juice 200,000
pounds cf loganberries.
Among those deeply Interested
in this great Oregon industry, it Is
, felt that ail will depend upon in
creasing the consumption of logan
berry oroduets. In other words
following the example of Califor
in a growers In advancing the sale
of raisins when the market was so
low that the Industry was about
to collapse, something must oe
done to bring the merits of the
berry before a larger consuming
public.
Figures are not available as to
the acreage of fruits for 1922 as
assessors are obliged to make a re
port only every other year. Hence
the 1921 reports on acreages in
the state are the latest.
Based on the 1921 horticulture:
report of acreages in each county,
the total loganberry acreage of
the state for that year was 6253
In the central Willamette valley,
the county acreage in 1921 was as
follows: Benton, 100; Clackamas,
204; Linn, 167; Marion, 3S6S;
Polk, 268; Washington, 319, and
Yamhill, 423, a total of 5349
acres for this immediate section
of the ralley.
Comparing the year 1920 ana
the 1921 report, it Is estimated
that there was an increase of aev
eral hundred acres throughout the
state. In the Willamette valley
counties, there was a slight de
crease. Many growers claim that the
industry cannot survive on a price
of four cents a pound. Many are
asking for six cents the coming
season, but those who are familiar
wlith the industry til. both the
growing and selling end, are of
the opinion that if loganberry
" growing Is to continue profitable,
there must be a great increase ip
markets and a much greater con
suming public.
tablished by a awiftly organised
committee of fifty business men.
Last Bight beds were provwea
for all wtihout them and hot meals
were served at several etations.
Hundreds of homes have tjcen
thrown opea to those made desti
tute by the blase and all public
buildings available will provide
sleeping and eating quarters for
the several thousand persons. Al
though not many residences were
in the path of the flames, apart

tenement structures were destroy

made their homes In these struc
tures barely had time to escape
with their lives.
Kelief measures consisted of or
ders to commandeer all of the

gathered together in the Lovell

Looters Arrested
Frantic efforts by telephone
and electric light workmen had
partly restored the lighting facil
ities of the city here last night,
but throughout the remaining
district a heavy guard of soldiers
and special policemen had been
established to prevent looting the
destroyed area of the city. Chief
of Police Leb Carlson said 14 men
had been arrested by his officers
during the confusion and that all
were attempting to carry away
articles from stores within thi

though this does not represent fi

Though temporarily paralysed
by the destruction of its Astoria
lines, the Pacific Telephone an. I
Telegraph company resumed ser
vice In this city yesterday after
noon. For a time Its wires were
the only source of communication
with he outer world. Losses are

pany, arrived uere early today
from Portland with equipment
and relief crews. The Astoria car
ried fifty linemen, switchboard

Troops Bring Supplies.
Officials of the Oregon national
guard sent 7a officers and men
with .a quantity of supplies here
from Portland.' The supplies in
cluded 1000 cots, 2000 blankets,
roling kitchens, cooking and food
supplies. The latter equipment
would be sufficient o feed 3500
persons, in emergency; it was
stated, although it was estimated
the demand would not be that
great. Adjutant General George
White arrived here to superintend
ent the activities of the guard.
Major Joseph V. Schur is in ac
tive charge of the detachment and
the materials, with Lieutenant E
H. Gallien assisting him.
The rolling kitchens were put
to work Immediately after the
trains pulled out from Portland,
and by the time the train had ar
rived, in Astoria a piping hot meal
was ready, which was served to
hundreds of the hungry and home
less Astoriacs.
A vigilant watch was kept
against the sale of moonshine. Ic
had not been entirely successful.
An occasional solder stood about
directing the scart traffic. Forty
men were detailed from Camp
Stevens for the purpose. Candles
were resorted to in many homes in
areas where power lines were
down. Scores of loggers and drift
ers left the stricken place by the
last train out last nighL
When flames threatened the
city hall In the basement of which
is the jail, the doors were opened
and the 14 men arrested for loot
ing, together with a score of other
prisoners were released. The jail
docket disappeared sometime dur
ing the day and no record of male
factors could be found. It was
stated that Sven Londberg, city
alderman, made three arrests in
the course of the night. His pris
oners could not be located.
Public sentiment was bitter on
this score and there were many
who would not believe the reports
of he thievery. Prisoners from
the county jail were released when
flr.mes seemed to threaten thai
structure. Three convicted men
said to be awaiting transportation
to the state penitentiary aided
