able, I V. 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

"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

The popular fallacy that Salem
apples are poor keepers seems to
get something of a black eye from
statement tnauo by L. W. ven

which shipped scores or carload;
of apples from here last year, took
chance on the Willamette valley

It keeping qualities aa a shipper.

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

Tooze accused Staples of saving

You may rob Clackamas coun

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

Senator Garland, who also ap
posed the bill, said it was "!ik

that if Multnomah's motive vat
humane it would better begia its
reform at home, -the .bill shotiM
be called the rape of Clackamas

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

Vollett. shaking his fist, "he'll be

Staples said if the bill was de

two years that would demand more
