No. 1; ' 60( 2.75 ship- Absence of Carryover and Exhausted Retail Stocks Insure Profitable Season Every Indication points least a decent year for the fruit men In this section, according to a summary of the situation as gathered from various sources. From every outlook the market will be entliely cleaned up as far as fruit is concerned when new crops begin to come in next year, there will be no carryovers, and shelves will be empty. Added t this the prospect of a fairly pros peroua year throughout the coun try makes the average fruit farm er rather optimistic over the out look. Prune men are confidently pre dicting a cleanup of the 1924 crop by the first of March, both in dried and canned products. it seems apparent that the same sort of situation will exist as far as lo ganberries are concerned. The freeze watch put the loganberries back evidently onto a par with the crop of la ,st year Is generally taken as helpful to the business rath' than injurious. With no niyn of a carryover it would seem from Lho present viewpoint that the canners will tuku virtually every loganberry there Is In the crop, The big cleanup of dried loganx made by the Oregon i rowers of the 1923 crop, and with virtually no lot; a ns dried whatever out ol the 1924 crop, will leave tnat field practically cleaned up, although some dried logaiui of the 1922 crop are still seeking a inarKet. Home fruit men are advising against do ing any drying of loganberries In 1925, as the big buy of the 190, 009 poundi held by the Oregon (I rowers auNoclatlon does not eliminate the logans from the mar ket. It merely takes them out of the northwest. They figure that some of these logans will fctill be looking around fur a place to go nto actual consumption for some time lo come. Itut absence of dried logans from the 1924 crop, they say, should rwve a reaction favorable to the canned product and tlw belief ia if the situation don't run wild and efforts made to get holdup prices, that everyone .houlu enjoy some sort of a pro fit from the 1925 crop. At the pres unt time It is estimated that th'jre only a few cars of canned lo gans left of the 1924 crop in the northwest and that the.se 10 or 12 cars will go out before February 15, as there are constant inquir ies for them. Canned apples are reported to he about cleaned up an.l there are four or flvi cars of canned goose berries left to be disposed of, Theae gooseberries nre said to he in fine condition, but buyers have been shying away from canned lo gans tteciiUHe of the trouble had two years ago when the spray used worKcti and no end of trouble ensued. In barreled and frozen fruits there are practically no straw berries either barreled or in the can, and Inquiries come In every day. On the sound there are said lo be a few lots of odds and ends in raspberries. In oeois It is con sidered doubtful If all the can nent' stocks were put together, that more than three cars would be scraped up. In canned black berries there also are only a few lots left and these are being held t firm prices There were quite a few Royal Annes at the end of the season hut the.ie have beei gradually cut down until there Is not an exces sive supply for this time of the year. In canned vegetables, especially beans, carrots and beets, the sit' uatlon is suh that they cannot be bought in Western Oregon. There are two or three odd low of logan juice. In canned rhubarb only two or three small lots are left. The canned prune situation shows a few cars on the lift of 24 In fancy and choice but all the gallons, whether water or grade, chmce or fancy, are all cleaned up. It is expected that the dried prune market will be left In good shape when the final sale are made of the 1924 crop. More ad vances are expected between now and then and as a result there will be a chance for a good open ing price. The Kood opening price Is real ly the beneficial price for the grow er, fruit men point out, a it Is very seldom that hih market prices mean much to the grower. The market generally is bulled when the product have passed from the growers hands, whether in prunes, grain or any other com modity.

FALLS CITY ASKS !T Dallas, Or., Jan. 1. Kails City has lined up behind the effort t have un automobile road eat.ib Hshed over the route of the pr-is ent Falls City- Valsetz road an I it commercial club voted unani mously Tuesday night to ask thj I'olk county court to take Imme diate action toward Improving I In road as far as the Lincoln county line. A commltte of Falls OHy busl- ncHd men was appointed to work upon the project and an effort will be made to lay it before the Cort land chamber of commerce, the Sa lem commercial club and the Dal las commercial club to secure their support. The proposed road, via Dal'.iH and Kails City would shorten Iiv distance from Portland to Now port by 45 miles over the present route by way of Corvallfs. It would shorten the distance rrotn Dai ins to Newport 25 miles from (he prw cut Kings Valley route. Lincoln county people are work ing to complete a macadamize,) road to the I'olk county line uid have made frequent attempts to secure rolk county eo-nperatmn in improving the Kails City-I.ineol'i county line stretch. The following commit lee of Kails City men was named to work on the project: Koy McDonald, II. Mat her Smith. M. L. 1 hompH.m, 1'. llrown, I), J, ( J rant, II. r?. Starr ami It. L. liriswnhl. It is doubtful If the present budget and condition of rad fi nances will permit much relief in 1925, ut the project ha received much favorable comment here. Children should always be heart! and fairly and kindly answereil. when they ask after anything they would know, utid dwire to be informed about. GHEMAWA FRIDAY The members of troops 1 and 2, Hoy Scouts of America, Salem, will bo guests of Cieorge V. Ilent, noma commissioner ot the Salem Indian traininr school, and his Indian ecouts on Friday. The local scouts will leave via, the Oregon Keel ric for Chemawn at 7:05 a. ni. under the leadership of Harold L. Cook, former ecout executive, and will sojourn for the d;iy In the woods near Chemawn. The taking of tests will occupy the mornin?. Scouts desiring to pans outdoor tests, such haw oil chopping, flro huilding, cooking, signalling, trail ing, scouts pace, are urged to come prepared for the particular tet they require. The nfternoon will he filled with Tames, particularly that game peculiar to scouting, "Capture the King," which has an nually filled ecouts hearts with pleasure on the camps. Scouts who cannot make the 7:05 train are requested to follow on the train leaving Salem nt 11:15, which will get them there in time for the oats nnd the after noon fun. Scouts wishing to ink" the first class cooking test should bring one cup of flour, a bit of salt and baking powder for the purpose of making "twist on a stick," a favorite pastry wifh scouts, which la baked without cooking utensils. Troops No. 1 has approximate! v 30 members, meeting each Mon day evening at the First Presby terian church, under the leader ship of lilcnn C. Niles, and troop No. 2 boasts approximately 4m members .and meets Tuesday even inge at the Kplscopalian pariah hoiuc, under the leadership of Mr. Stanford. It is expected that be tween forty and fifty scouts will make up the party to Chemawa. The fare to Chemawa is 18 cents each way, with 9-cent fare to scouts who come within the half fare limit. Further information can be hail by calling Scout Clin ton Lovell, telephone 1532-J. It Is hope which maintains most of mankind. During the year 1924 the city of Salem laid pavement costing i total of JMho.C70.Z3. Of tlii amount $140,5u4JlU was expend ed for six-inch cement concrete pavement and $4j,lt5.63 for three-Inch asp h a 1 tic cement con struction. The cement concrete pavemeiit aggregated 5i.2ff4.73 square yarda and the asphaltic cement 39,503.40 square yards. The cost shown above includes curb construction The cost of the cement concrete pavement averaged $2.16 a square yard and the atphaltic cement yit U cents. A total of $15,650.76 was ex pended on sewers, and a total ol 162,484 square feet of cement coa crete sidewalks was laid. Pavement was laid on the fol lowing streets and alleys: Alley in block hi: alley in block (7; Cottage street, from Mill to Bellevue; Mill street, from 16th to 17th; Church etreet, from E street to Market; Fir street, from Miller to Lefelle; Cottage strejt, from D street to Mill creek; 15th street, from D to Nebraska; Lib erty street, from Trade to Kerry; Miller street, from High to Sagi naw; Cak street, from Commercial to Liberty; Shade street, from Capitol to Stewart; Stewari street, from Lamberson to Mill creek; Saginaw street, from Busli to Owens; 20th street, from Che- iueketa to Center; 23rd street. from Mill creek to Oak; Fourth street, from Columbia to the north city limits; Trade street, from Church to Cottage; 21st strec: from State to Turner road: Hood street from Broadway to Cap itol; 17 street, from Center to D; Mission street, from Saginaw to Church; South Winter street, from State to Oak; Highland avenue, from Fifth to Fairgrounds road. Broadway, from a point 138 feet south of E street to Norway street. Hop men have finally completed the list of hops left In the hands of growers nnd the list shows that there nre only about 8000 bales of the Oregon crop so held. The market is quiet, but firm. Ibc situation shows that If there in any spring demand for hojs of consequence there Is apt to be an advance because of the compara tively small balance of the crop still held by growers. This seems true regardless of the fact that Saeramentos are re ported to be selling around at 8 and 10 cents. Quality Is poor. however. In the Saeramentos and there are many of them nnd con- ! sequentiy tne situation there proo ably will not affect a possible ad vanco here If there is any material spring demand. Clifford Krown and James It. Linn recently purchased between them about 420 bales from Seavey at 13 cents, which virtually celan ed Seavey up with the exception of his Cedar hill crop of about ZOO or 300 baler, and a few small odd and ends In other places. All told .seavey Is reported to have sold over 4000 bales this year.
