Wells of the firm with wife and children, was here today for a few hours en route from Long Iteach. Cal.. to New Xork City. Mr. Wehs will ret:irn him elf In March to be in personal charge of 'he office lie declares that bv March 25 he will know the cherry price to be paid and will be prepared to pay a substantial cr.sh advancs at that lime to all growers contracting their black cherrl?i with hbt firm, the balance to be paid on delivery. "Hut for the fact that I wan Compelled to bury my father at Long liench and waa delayed there by estate mature, I woull have been In Salem considerably before this," mated Mr. Well. ' But I wish to muke the statement posi tively now that we will be here after all the tonnage we enn get, it the highest market price. We have made connections through Which we will he able to handle an onll-iilted supply of cherries. I-'ji'-Htii CnniMTl Ions "One of my reasjus for going on Into New York is to hook up with ronnections there with a firm which handled some of our cher ries )at year, but this year wc want to make a deal with them to handlj our cherries exchjAlvcly. I expect to gJ on to Washington, 1). C, and line up some people there and will visit a number of other leading market centers before re turning to Salem. "Wo already have connections at Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Ho Chester, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, Du tilth and Kaunas City. "Incident illy I may sny that when we come hero It will be to handle all of the fruits available for shipment from the Willamette ralley and not for cherries alone. The single exception I know of this year is strawberries. We will not attempt to e titer the strawberry rame as far aa 1 know now this year at least. "I wish to make the declaration that the grower who gives up any kind of a contract on his cherries dow Is taking a long chance. In fact they nre signing up at the low est possible price rather than the blghcst price obtainable. (mhI Fruit Year "riure Is no question that thLs looks like a good fruit year. Indi rations point, that way. The grow- ir who Juinns in now at the first Contract fluttered before him 1b Staking an irrevocable mistake. "We know that we will be pre pared to offer the best there Is to offer, and to make the offer In olid cih'i, with counts. We will attempt no consignment bus! now but when the cherries co.iie to our delivery stations the money will be ready to pny for them, and a sub stantial advance will be ready for them In cunh when the contract I I fined. Wc urge growers not to be too precipitate In signing un con tracts. It Is a certain thing that whatever contract is out now. there will be no lower price offered for cnerrics t nan present price. The E lower cannot possibly lose by eepj.ig hij signature off from a contract now and It Is verv llkelv be will gain quite materially if he holds his signature ii abeyance until the market ehnpew Itself and It develops Just what can be said lor ch ernes. Foreman Coming "We Intend to have Charlie An demon our foreman over hear as toon as he can leave Hnokane, lie will probably get here before March IS to malt? reparations tin th Opening of the season."

W. ven of Young & Wells today. This firm which shipped scores or carload; of apples from here last year, took chance on the Willamette valley apple in spite of nil reports as to It keeping qualities aa a shipper. 'We still nave 11 cars oi uptm-e In storage. Kvery one of the cars was shl)ped from Salem and nre held In Oklahoma City, Austin, Texas, Chicago and New York. "An Inspection made on Janu ary IS revealed practically no de cay and the apples In first cIhht. condition. They liau ripened some what but were still In high clans merchantable shape. "The market on presi nt btud will bring us out on the cant In ubout the same shape as if we hud sold them at shipping neumm. While juices are considerably hit;h er the storage cohIh will about ub wolb the differential."

SENATE KILLS BILL TO SLICE v CLACKAMAS (Continued from Page One) high school. "We are proud of them, he said. Multnman county is trying to steal some of them and we are trying to prevent It." Tooze referred to the measure as the "Harvey O. Starkweather bill," and branded It as an attempt to take from Clackamas county its richest portion. He denied thu the portion of Ciackamua county involved la a political orphan, mentioning; that nearly all the county offlcera are from that poi tion of the county. "Thie Is an attempt,' said Tooze "to bolster up the political power of Harvey O. Starkweather, who did not earn his money but sitt- snugly near the Multnomah coun ty line on land that he inherited And the bill is Introduced by the Multnomah senator who want tc be the next president of this cn ate and add to his political Influence." Tooze denied that the people of Milwaukie, Oswego and other places in the district want to be annexed to Multnomah county. From the point of view of taxa tion, he declared, passage of the bill would leave Clackamas cotiuty stranded. "Presumably," eand Tooze, 'th people of this county are governed by their soncent, but there Is an attempted robbery. Harvey G Starkweather Is selling land that he Inherited at $3000 an acre. If he gets Into Multnomah county he will sell It at $5000. That is the scheme of Harvey G. Starkwenth cr, who runs for every political of fice In the category of politic from United Stuies senator down, and who Is always dcleated. An nex the territory to Multnomah and they will want another con gressman and more senators and representatives In the legislature. Tooze accused Staples of saving the governor will not ware veio the bill. Tooze mentioned the mayors of all the cities involved as being opposed to the bill. He de clared efforts had been made to force him to vote for certain b'.lls bv hnldlntr (ho rMnxlinm KIM Mrov him as a club. M You may rob Clackamas coun ty," he said, "but you can't bluff me, for I am bere to fight for righteousness." Senator Corbet t opposed the bill. 'I can't be a party to thie vivi section," he said. "Thi bill at tempts to take chunks of living, quivering flesh from Clackamas county and feed It down the ca pacious maw of Multnomah coun ty. It is too much for my pity." senator Hare sarcastically re marked that the bill didn't go fdr enough, that it ought to pive Washington and Marion counties the remaining portion of Clacka mas. Senator Garland, who also ap posed the bill, said it was "!ik taking candy from a child," an J that if Multnomah's motive vat humane it would better begia its reform at home, -the .bill shotiM be called the rape of Clackamas coutny," he said. Dunn and Eddy were again3t the bill. Eddy said he hoped tUe senate organization would not line up for the bill, because It would create a spirit or reprisal that would work a hardship on legis lation in the next few days. In closing. Staples said Multno mah actually should have all the territory north of Clackamas coun ty. Referring to Tooze s assertion that Staples was an aspirant for president of the senate, Staples said Tooze was a wind-jammer and that Tooze was a non-partisan lc ;ue candidate for governor. if be Is," shouted Senator Li- Vollett. shaking his fist, "he'll be elected." Staples said if the bill was de feated he would bring in a bill In two years that would demand more territory.
