Newspaper Page TextTHE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 CANNERS SCRAMBLE TO BUY STRAWBERRY PACK Tells How Rich Women Are Robbed OF WELL AS PACK PAGE TEN ,'RANTIC BUYING OF SHERRIES ORDER OF DAY Frantic buying of strawberries has marked the lost few days In this soction with a situation differ ent than anything ever before seen bere. Canners suddenly awakened to the fact that If they wanted any local strawberries to can that now Is the time to get them, because a waiting game would be disastrous for their pack. Baiter, Kelly t McLaughlin ap parently outfoxed them all on the strawberry deal this spring, start ing out over a month ago on a quiet, but at the same time speedy campaign which has resulted In their signing up an enormous tnn nace. With any kind of a crop It Is evident that the barreling people figure on putting up the bluest traubcrry pack ever tackled around here, as unquestionably they have signed up an enormous acreage nt an earlier period in the season than ever before. While canneries undoubtedly were aware of the operations of the barreling concern, It appears that the sweeping nature of them did not sink In until the lact few da vs. At nny rale the canners suddenly got busy with men In the field, and they all stepped out at about the same time. Blx and eight cents has been the paying prtee and growers have igne.l up with Maker, Kelly & Mc Laiignlln right and left under this price. It has not been learned just where the barreling operations of the Mclaughlin people will be stag ed. although negotiations have been under way with the Capital Ice A Storage company for room In their new plant. Indications are for a good strnw berry crop and there is apparently no particular reason why there hould not be one this year. If there is unquestionably It will be one of the blggwrt years ever ex perienced by growers here as seem kigly every berry will be swallow ed up in the demand that has arls-in. E F( Chicago, Feb. 21 The wheat vpenlng, which varied from un thangetl figures to 1 lower.

Today ie the fifth day the service com mi s ilon bill has lain on the gover lor'e desk and he told the com mittee Inst night he would vein t unletm his wishes were acceded lo. He and the committee agreed that the bill would be withdrawn today. This will be done on mo tion of Representative Cordon, ihairmaii -of the. bouse ways and neane committee. Occupational Tax The committee latst night gave tome consideration to an occupa tional tax, which was proposed by A. S.

Peterwon Idea woa that a flat tax of $10 ihculri be levied ngainet every re tall business In the state. "If you single ue out alone," laid Peterson In opposing the cosmetic tax, "we will Invoke the referendum and fight to the Inst ditch," whereupon Peterson walk ed to tho head of the table and shook hands with Charmen Tooee and Gordon exactly as a pugilist does when he steps into the ring and challenges the wlrner. The committee turned down any further aid for the Monmouth normal school. This kills the hope for a new $146,000 training school at Independence. Unfavorable recommendations will be sent out today on bills to ln?rease the salaries of the state treasurer, secretary of state, dep uty treasurer, deputy secretary of state and secretary to the gover nor.

PuKh on 2 1st street, the plant biting Just completed recently. This pronilnes to become an Industry of some magnitude from the outlook on orders and the immense possi bilities of fruit development In the northwest. It Is here Mr. Pugh contemplates manufacturing can ning machinery of his own inven tion, and th-9 fact that this machii ery, built on contracts In the pat. is spread about in canneries all over the northwest Indicatcj what !a apt to happen now that the in ventor Is turned loose in hi own plant. The first work will be on grad ers to fill orders. The Pugh grad er has pr-jved so highly uccefc ful in every cannery where It ha been used that there la reason to believe It will become of general installation in practically every northwest cannery. In addition he contemplates manufacture of cookers, exhaust vats, upright trucks, syrupera and el her canning machinery as the business advance). The first unit of the plant Is 30x50 feet. . "Wo are not very big yet, I'll admit," states Mr. Pugh. "We have three men and our 30xj0 plant, but this business will be an evolution and when we get Into it we hope to have a steady growth which will mean something to the com munity as well as to ourselves."

LOCAL CANNERS HEAR NATIONAL PRESIDENT Many canners went to Portland today to attend a meeting of the Northwest Canners amoclatlon called to meet E, F. Trego, the newly elected president of the Na tional Canners association, who Is in Portland today and has been In Seattle looking over the northwest situation. Cannery developments hnve been so marked In the north west that the region has become a decided factor In national canning operations. Ira Ilutchlns of Corvallls, head of the Western Packing corpora tion with plants at Forest Grove and Corvallls, was among the can ners stopping off at Rnlem today en route for Portland for the can ners' meeting. The new Ryan Fruit company plant to be erected at Tra le and Cottage streets by David Pugh, un der contract to be completed by April 1, will be so constructed us to give refrigeration advantages throughout the entire plant. The. building is to have a frontage of 74 feet on Cottage street and 63 feet on Trade, with the floor space enhanced by a large concrete base ment underneath the entire struc ture. The basement will be so con structed that teams can drive di rectly into it to leave or gather produce. It Is planned to put cold storage machinery into the plant and the iil-jer pirt all over will have dou ble construction In the walls, car rying refrigeration paper inside and out with a In pace to provide cx?eii?ni reirigeratln through the plant. The plant Itself, It Is estimated, will cost $6.'00 and about $4000 worth of refrigeration machinery is to be Installed, under present plans. Tho move of the company Is tak en to indicate that It contemplates continuing ln the game of ship ping iresn irsuis, sucn as cherries, prunes and apples ln season.
