Latest Information as to Califor
nia crop conrlilioiiH on products
of Interest here, follows;
Prunes: Tho total crop of prunes
for this year is estimated to be 65
per cent of a normal production,
which indicates a crop of ap
proximately 100.000 tons. The dry
ing of prunes is ne.irly completed
and a greater percentage of large
sizes is reported than was previ
ously expected.
Peaches: The total peach crop
tills year 1m cHtimated to be ti" per
cent of a normal. This indicates a
production of 2H5.00Q tons com
pared with 3&0.000 tons produced
in ion. Uoth tho dried and can
ned tonnage was less than last year
white shipments out of tiie at a
were only about 00 per cent i
great. This comparatively light
crop was due primarily to the ah
normal spring behavior of peach
trees In many districts smith of the
lehach.'ipl and late spring frosts
which damaged peaches in eomc.
localities In the San Joaquin and
Sacramento valleys; although in
some districts proper sizing
fruits w;is prevented duo to short
age of irrigation water.
Walnuts: Tho walnut harvest is
in progress, with yields In some lo
entities falling short of earlier ex
poctatlons. This accounts for i
decline of 2 points In Ihe condl
tion which in now estimated to be
80 per cent of a normal. A nrn.
duction forecast, bused on the pres-
iii outiooK, HHiicateH a croii of an-
proximately 24,000 tons, compared
with 25,000 tons produced a year

J. C. Houghton & Co., brokers

"A fair demand for prunes has
existed during the past mouth and

sold freely. This particularly ap
plies to goods sold e. i. f. United
Kingdom ports from tlermanv,
which are described as Hamburg

these have been in excellent condi
tion. Owing to the prices of 1923
crop advancing, more attention Is
being paid to offerings of 1924

erable busineas has been done at

He declares that the Sutherlln
community, after being dead for
a number of years has come to life,
that great activity Is apparent
there and an optimistic feeling pre
vades the valley.
New blood is coming Into the
valley be states, nnd engineers are
busy every day working on a prop
osition of completing the railroad
once started out of Sutherlln to
tap 55.000 acres of Umberlund '6
miles up the valley. The railroad
roadbed was laid a number of years
ago, and u Klump came.
A great many places are chang
ing bauds in the district. The old
academy, where many of Oregon's
prominent men were educated,
has been bought by nil investor
who plans to put a hotel there and
he also has purchased another
piece r.f properly for a business
bul id in.?. Kx tensive orchard hold
ings of Charles Starks have been
bought by a Koscburg man who
intends to rehabilitate them.
"(jetting real money for a nr
of apples before It rolied from the
station has perked up the apple
men to quite an extent." said
Hie h n . "in addition the cannery is
running at full blast for the first
time in many years, with 125 peo
ple employed. They had to go to
the outside to get sufficient help
to provide labor for handling the
work. Tho cannery will run for
three months on apples and give
the town a $1 6,000 payroll."

crop in the western apple growing

a gathering of Nashville business

some day swept the American

"If you nre afraid of radicalism

his attitude of the Washington
armaments conference and tne

JlcdiK-e Tariff Hates
In the evening address the can
didate again promised . that he
would, if elected, reduce existing
tariff duties and would sec that the
new law was written "with an
equal eye on the need of the mnn
ufaciuriTS upon the need of the
laboring men, for the consumers
of the country."
Emphatic denial of charges that
the democratic parly was destruc
tive to business whenever In pow
er, was made by Mr. Davis.
"There is no party in these
United States," Mr. Davis said,
"that deliberately desires to injure
American business and there is
nothing in the program of the
party I represent that holds for
any legitimate business In this
country any threat or menace what
soever."
The democratic nominee led into
the subject of the Washington arm
ament conference with the state
ment that he has been criticized
for "disparaging the purpose- and
the results of the Washington con
ference." He read from President
Coolidge's letter regarding navy
day and declared that the chief
executive had, In that communica
tion, been more disparaging of the
conference "than I would have
dared to sav."
Washington Conference
"I am ready and willing to give
out conference credit for every
thing thr.t it accomplished. I am
ready to approve the fact that it
was called and. In the mnin with
some minor reservations, to ap
prove Its results, but I am equally
determined that the American peo
ple shill not be misled as to Its

shall net be persuaded that it is

tion. or in the language i
president himself, that It stands
ampiig the revolutionary and ub
lime achievements of the human
race.' "

tinued have been set as great mile

of the qualities they personified.

Issuo of Hoiuwly
Turning to a discussion of cam
paign Issues, Mr. Davis asked his
audience to apply to them the
Jacksonian test.
"Call these gentlemen from
Washington," ho said, "and ask
them first of all: 'Have you been
honeHt?' "
Cries of "No, no," came from the
stands and Mr. Davis replied:
"That is not the answer they
make. They say 'no, in spots,' "
Mr. Davis said the Kordney
McCumber tariff bill was the
"most tainted statute ever writ
ten." Snluvlules of tho law, Mr. Davis
declared, were written by privil-
eged and interested parties who re
ceived high rates of duty on pro
ducts in which they personally were
interested. He attacked the "flex
ible provisions" of the tariff act
saying they gave unto the 'king's
hands' the right to raise or lower
tariff rates fifty per cent.
The report ol the federal trade
commission on sugar which had
been given to President Cooliuge.
recommending reduced tariff on
that commodity, Mr. Davis add
ed, had been ignored by the chief
executive. "It looks as though
nothing will be done with It be
fore the presidential elections have
passed," the nominee said, adding j
that such practices as he charged
appeared "peculiarly abortive in !
their effect upon the legislative
processes."
