Long Auburn Locks
Win Admiration of
Unbobbed Whiskers
Miss Iucle Rrown, little daugh

of the child health dcmonHtratlon,
has a wealth of auburn hair which
flows down over her shoulders and
which flaunts to the breeze utter

beun anxious to be in the swim
and havo her wonderful auburn
locks properly chlrotonsored. When
she lived In Manafield, Ohio, she
approached her father on the sub
ject. He told her to do as she
pleased, but he didn't approve of
the suggestion. Hhe didn't get her
hair bobbed. Later when ho waa
out here looking over sites for the
health demonstration she tele
graphed him she was still In the
mood. "Do as you like," he wired
back, "but daddy do.se n't approve
So, when she arrived In Salem
fdio still was unbobbed, but still
anxious to have her hair cut in
approved f;ihlon. The yearning
lingered until tho other night in
the lirriy-Lrlle she was eating with
her father and mother.
A white haiied, gentleman, with
unbobbed wlimkem, displayed con
aidcra'de interest in her. When he
arose to go out he stopped at her
place.
"Young lady," he said, "It is a
gieat relief to see a girl in this
generation display some serine.
Keep your hair by all means. It Is
the finest thing In the town." The
elderly gentleman with the unbob

won't admit the yenning Is gone,
but the guess Is she doesn't visit a

EASING UP AFTER
IT
Prune holders expect but Utile
ilimand lu Die New York market
for soma tittle time following re
cent hay inn flurries, according to
Jack Willmr, rejn escntalive of the
Washington Cl rower association in
New York, who arrived here yes
terday to stirt out today on a
fishing expedition with Hubert U.
1'aulus.
"New York la now pretty well
loaded up with prunes, between
those on hand and those ordered
for future delivery." stated Wil
bur. "This Is particularly true of
-tes. There no doubt is some de
mand for 3"s and they were In big
demand In the buying flurries.
' New York I not heavily loaded
up with other dried fruits such ns
nprietts and peaches. However,
New lork is a, peculiar buying
market. It often happens that
there Is heavy buying when stocks
are heavy and lUht buying when
stocks are light, with the results
that very frequently buyers find
themselveN unsupplitd with prunes
when there are no more prunes to
be bad.
"M'Mvever that may be. I do not
look for much bumg from the
New York iid for some little time.
"IV.iple of the Jewish faith are
heaviest consumers of the Oregon
prune in the New York market,
'they eat liberally of this fruit dur
ing the holidays which come along
In Anrlt, but the Jewish trade has
been found scoured from one end
to the other In New York and I
am sit tiff led Is loaded up with all
the prunes It needs for the holi
days and some time to coiie."
New estimate made on the
northwest prune holdngs on the
coast rut them down to about
ft.000.000 pounds, which Is but a
drop In the bucket and pauksra are
satisfied these should rosit out
without difficulty.
It Is st vd that the Canadian
market It short on prunes but
lh"re Is little buying there. The
renson for this Is accredited to the
Canadian's Incredulity as to reports

After subsiding for several
weeks, the scandal regarding the
river steamer Relief, which was
allowed to sink while moored in
the Willamette river at the foot of
Court street, rose to a new pitch
yesterday with the arrival in
Salem of two attorneys represent
ing the insurance company with
which the boat had been insured.
The attorneys, Ridgway and
Montgomery of Portland, are
suing In behalf of their company,
which operates under the name of
The Globe & Rutgers Fire Insur
ance company, for the sum of
$3,249.26 and costs, which they
atate has been expended In raising
the vessel and putting it in Its
present condition.
In the suit the definite accusa
tion Is made that tbe owners of
the Relief, Charles F. Schaub,
O. W. Sweet and Richard Clayton,
did not take the necessary meas
ures to prevent the sinking of
their boat, but deliberately al
lowed It to sink, notifying repre
sentatives of the company that
they "were through, and that it
was up to the Insurer."
The boat was insured for
$20,000. Estimates of Its value
range around $5,000. By agree
ment between the two parties the
business of insuring the Relief
was transacted under the English
law, which varies from tbe
American law In a few res poets.
The suit states that the master
and chief engineer knew the dis
aster could be averted by expend
ing a sum of not more than a
thousand dollars, but that the
ship'a owner refused to carry out
the measures urged by hit em
ployes, dismissing them from his
service. Witnesses have stated
that after the boats sank good
were loaded bark on her.
. It has never been seriously be
lieved among rivermen that tbe
Insurance company would pay the
full $20,000 insurance which was
demanded by the boat's ownejs
shortly after they allowed it to
sink. Many have believed, how
ever, that in lieu of paying the
Insurance the company intended
to put the boat back into condition
as good as It was before the so
called accident occurred. The de
velopment that the company does
not intend to do this, but rather
to foreclose on the boat in satis
faction of claims growing out of
the work of raising and repairing
the craft, comes as a surprise to
many.
Most of the criticism In the
scandul apparently centers around
C. F. Schaub, one of the owners.
The most Industrious efforts to
trace Schaub's history are stated
to have failed. No one knows
from where he came or what he
did before coming to Oregon.
The Relief is now tied up In the
Willamette slough near the
boundary between the property of
the local lumber and paper com
panies. Action was filed in circuit court
Mills, who sought to enforce a
upwards of a week ago by W. W.
lien claim against the steamer. He
alleged that he acted as watchman
on the boat from January 3 to 23
at an agreed rate of $4 a day,
which went unpaid.
