One of the ptincial bills which he wants to Bo become a law In northwestern states Is one he states ha already been enacted by US si lies In the union, and that Is a bill to prevent oleo people from u-in In their advertisement pic tures of dairy cows, or any dairy terms to promote tile wale of oleo margerine. "We can't hope to eliminate oleo margerine," stated Mr. Harney. "'All we are after 1 to require the oleo p-'onle to sell (heir product on its merits and not as a dairy pro Suct. In gome states in the east a heavy licence is Imposed on Oleo to pu: it more on a price par with butter. "Uo consider It unfortunate that Oregon and Washington defeated tho oleo bill at the last election, a surely (hone state must consid er the daiiying in lustry as of greater value to rhem than the oleo industry.

PRUNES TD SFfRINK AND BE REGRADED ACTIVE MARKET FOR DRIED FRUITS IN GOLDEN STATE An active market has been In progress during the past ten day in dried fru.t. with first haad dialers In California. Domestic markets are evincing a material interest In prompt supplies, which is as has been expected, spot sup piles In distributing channels 1 hi oughout the country In dried fruits being small, says the Culifor nia r'rult News. Prunes, In particular, have at tracted the intercut of the trade, and since the announcement of the advance In prices by the Califor nia Prune and Apricot Growers association, the prune market has, been especially active. The asso ciation tells us that it soUl up the allotments assigned for sale be tween the announcement of the new price and their taking effect. The New York market, tn particu lar, has been most active in com ing to the coast at present values, in this line. Low On 50s and 0(h) The prune asociution tells us that It Is now Kitting low even on '.Us and 60s, so fur us boxed trade is concerned, as with the associa tion's Idea of what it will need for canon purposes In Ihewe sizes, it finds itself without any heavy sur plus now. With these two sizes firm, the whole prune list Is In good shape. The association has withdrawn on "Eijuulity" brand 20-3 Oh now, and having previously withdrawn on "Sunsweet" In this size is not quoting 20-30S at all at th:n time. As predicted in these columns lust week, the carton priced have b-en udvanced by the .tssociutlon, which i now quoting 2-pouid medium "Sunsweet" car tons at $.25 per dozen, an ad vance of 15c, and at the same time, the prune association advanced its list on canned "ready to serve" prunes 25i: a dozen right through. Commercial packers are now quot ing pretty close to association ju ices on prunes some exactly the same and some under. Northwest frillies Pacific Northwestern prunes show advances the same as In Cali fornia, although there Is current from time to time new of some seller cutting a fraction.

New York, th.? latte. among oth er tnings, Havri; lts'Wcw of Svusoii "1924 has been a big year for tne uried fruit traue. We do not mean a boom year, but that 1924 saw the end of unsound conditions In tho dried fruit trade. Germany came bark in tho flint part of the year, and In addition :o this, there were the crop fail tires In Kurope the second part of the year. Never tneiess Calitornia did not lone its heud In the face of these Improved circumstances. Three years ago they would have boomed prices during thl demand. This year. nowever, uaiiornia remained a steady seller, keeping Its products witmn tne reach of every consum er. With the exception of raisins the surplur of all dried fruits in this country waa distributed In Kurope, and on account of the ad vantageous prices, w is also con sumed. At the close of 1924 the stocks of dried fruits In Kurope were not larger than at the end of 1 923, as thev had no domestic fruits.

C. Houghton & Co., brokers of Liverpool, Kng.and, in their dried fruit circular review in 3 th 1924 season, have the following to say on prunes: "Calif ornian prunes-Undoubted Iy tho outstanding feature was the clearance of 192, and the heavy sales of 1923 crop fruit. At the commencement of the year large quant It iej of the former remained unsol I, and this considerably af fected aules of 1923 pack, owing to the (.receding year's of feting being so much cheaper. 1922 crop sold freely during January, February March and April, but buyer were also purchasing fair quantities of 1923 during the two last named months, liy the middle of the year the older fruit was practically cleared up, and buyer had to con fine their attention to 1923 stocks. During August prices were quoted for 1924 crop, and considerable business was done In 30-40 and 40-50; price, however, gradually declined, especially on 30-403. "The rise in sterling exchange was mainly responsible for the de cline in values. Buye-'s anticipated further monei'iry appreciation, and consequently, during November and December, buying eased off very considerably. Owing to the short age of Oregon, French and Bos nian, fairly large quantities of small sized California!), viz., 70-80, 80-90 and 90-100, were sold, and thee descriptions advanced 2s to 3s per cwt. "Oregon prune A steady trade has taken place throughout the year and such variation in price a we have had is entirely due to exchange fluctuations. At the be ginning of August opening prices were named for new crop, 30-40s at 62, 40-50s at 42s. but quota tions were quickly withdrawn. These si jus were next quoted at 58s and 4K respectively, and fair amount of business paased. . Very few offers of email prunes have been made, and this Is reflected in the heavy buying of Cat if ornian." BRIBERY PLOT BLAME PUT ON CLEAVER (Continued from Page One J. A.

"while 1 was in Klumulli Kalis I received a puone call from Portland, from Lee Potter, a for mer driver for the federal depart ment. He said there was a man 111 Portland who hud about lot) cases of liquor to sell. I told him to go ahead and get all the evidence lit could. When I returned to Port land, Potter and I went to the Sov ereign hotel where we met Wein berg, lie said he hud tuken the liquor to Seattle, but wanted to bring It back to Portland and of fered to pay me $5 a case to let him come in with it.

He also said he oau heard that Weinberg took a Urgi; quantity of liquor somewhere 00 the Columbia river highway a;:d stored It in a barn Barker told the committee that he was suspended from the fed eral service on December 19, and he thought the affair ot the $100 had something to do with it. In reply to questions by Senator Ed dy, Barker stated that several mca came (torn Washington, D. C, to investigate him, and gave tiieir names. "Did that have anything to do ith their $100?" at-ked Kddy. "Yes, sir," answered the wit ness. Questions asked by Senators Ed dy and Garland brought replies from Barker Indicating that while the federal department had co operated fully with the Portland1 police department and the sherur.-t of the state the federal officers had no Instructions to co-operate with the state department To Get McNarv. "After Weinberg gave you thin $100 don't you think you should have informed Mr. Herwig that te had a scoundrel in bis employ?" asked Garland.

Senator Taylor presented to the committee affidavits and state ments from lmatilla, Union and Morrow county officials purpos ing lu show lack ot co-operuti-jn of the state forces with the local officers and that the work or Cleaver and his men in those cot:u ties has not been successful. There has been a cross-fire all the time, according to Taylor. r Tank B. Mitchell, legal advisor for the federal prohibition office, was questioned closely about co operation between his department und the state department. He said there was no co-operation between the two departments and was a&k ed by Senator Hare to expi&iu why. No CO-OneratiOn 'Prior lo the establishment of the state department," said Mit.h ell, "Mr. Herwig, the AM. Saloon league superintendent came often to our offices and ecu ferred with Dr. Linville. At thi' time I was In favor of a state de partment and assisted in draf'iir; the state prohibition act. Afur it was established I informed Cleaver and his deputy, Culhett son, ot a system of exchanging in formation that Is used among ou department and other law enforc ing agencies such as the police de partments and the sheriffs' off! ces. What they did with the iu formation 1 gave them at that time I don't know. Herwig quit coining to our offices and 1 was reliably informed that he was go ing to give his assistance to Cwav er. Later we decided, because of information reaching us about the class ot work the state depart ment was doing and the method:; it was using that we couldn't co operate with It for two reasuns. The first reason was that we couldn't bother with 'hip-pocket stuff, and the second was that, ac cording to reports. Cleaver's men were making raids that they had no right under the law to make.' Mitchell explained that the fci eral department had instructions from Washington to the etfee that enforcement of the prohib: lion law required that the depart ment give its attention to big cases, such as smuggling an. moonshinlug. "We were instruct ed not to waste our time on the bootlegger," he said. "When we get a moonshiner we cut off the supply from probably a doen bootleggers In Portland." Condemns Aeents.

"This man," he said, "drove his automobile into a ditch near Milwaukie while he was intoxicated, and the girl who was with him had to go to 1! hospital." Mitchell said he couldn't recall Cleaver ever asking co-operat!on from his office. Asked about co-operation be tween the federal department and the sheriffs and district attorney-, Mitchell said: "When we first started out wc had to seek the co-operation of the county officers, and we cat '.fed conferences of sheriffs In various places. We put our cards on the table. We asked the help of ;he sheriffs and told them that we never would send a man into their counties behind their backs, but would send our men directly to them." Mitchell said that although ht had recommended the passage of the state act, he believed the Bheriffs took the measure as an intimation that they were not honest and not doing their duty. Thoiipht Sheriffs Delinouent. "J. think," be said, "that Cleav er and Herwig had an Idea nva the start that the sheriffs were not doing their duty. The state agents went Into the counties be hind the sheriffs' backs and talk ed about the local officers. It Cleaver's men had gone directly lo the sheriffs and sought their as sistance and offered assistance in return I believe there would havo been no trouble. I am satisfied that both Cleaver and Governor Pierce think some ot the sheriffs are crooked." Mitchell described what he termed "a very unhappy confer ence" that took place in the gov ernor's office between himself. Dr. Linville and the governor, following Instructions from Wash ington to confer with the gov ernor.

Cleaver submitted letters from the governor authorizing him to ad vance $1500 to Herwig to be urfi'J .a the law enforcement investiga tions of Weinberg, and that Her wig had been requested to return an itemized statement of the UJ( of thiB money, but had never d r so. The governor stemed to be satisfied to wait for this stuV. ment, he said, for the reason tiiv Weinberg's investigations had no. been completed when be was un. inoned to New York where he was under an indictment. Herwig was called to the stand and quesitoned at length by a number ot the committeemen, par ticularly about Weinberg. Herwhj's Testimony. "The Anti-Saluon league," h said, "was Interested in the larger operations ot liquor coming In from Canada, and need a very able investigator.
