Estimates varying from 16,000.
00 to 30,000,000 pounds were
made by prune parkera at a meet
' In of the Northwest Dried Krult
awtoclutlon held In Portland yes
terday and an average of theae es
timates, about 80,000,000 pounds,
coincides pretty well with a num
ber of preceding est! mates which
bave gone out since the evldi-tices
f damage became pronounced.
County Fruit Inspector Van
Trump stated today that on a visit
to the ticotts Mills district yester
day he found some orchards with
prunes on, one orchard having a
full crop a,nd another a half a
crop.
A letter received by Paul us from
ft Bon Francisco broker advises
that more recent estimates place
a fft to 5 per cent estimate on the
Btanta Clara crop, with a good full
crop In the San Joaquin valley and
the balance of the stats with about
ft per cent of a crop.
The market there, aaya the let
ter, show more strength aa the
unsold tonnage Is practically In
the hands of two factors and they
are realising the market will res
pond to assurance to buyers of
some firmness. Another Ban Fran
cisco letter states that the Califor
nia association ha Ita annual meet
trig today when It la probable a
uw manner will be selected.
A XJverpool letter to Paulue says
that the market there Is extreme
ly wenk due to the selling of large
quantities of 60-0 of the Califor
nia 121 crop at !4 packed. These
earns Into Knglnnd on consignment
aaya the letter, and have made
buyer extremely nervous about
buying as they say they have no
way of knowing when and now
snuch the association may consign
at any time. Another tetter atates
that Germany Is heavily atocked
with prune and that "' hould

SET AT 8 CENTS
The California Cherry Growers
association has fixed a price of
8.4 cents on Royal Annas, accord
ing to advicea Just received by Max
Gehlhar from the association, and
a little over half the crop of the
association has been disposed of at
that price, regardless of protest on
the part of cannerymen that the
price would mean that Royal
Annes canned would have to sell
at a little better- thfin 3 a dozen
to come out on the deal.
The same report stated In the
San Joaquin valley canners are
trying to buy at 8 cents. The four
tenths of a cent put on by the as
sociation Is a service charge, mean
ing that the real price of the ber
ries Is 8 cents, which, growers con
fidently expect will be the price
here.
Gehlhai also received a letter
from Tho Dalles advtxlng that the
cherry crop there will run from
about 30 to 50 per cent, that all
Hoyai Annes will be shipped out
fresh from The Iailee district this
year because of the short crop. The
advices stated that many of the
trees are as high as 30 per cent
dead hecauce of the severe drought
conditions there laM year.
Reports rrm blnck cherry grow
ing sections In this distrlot Indi
cate that there will be a lighter
tonnage of blacks than first ex
pected and the cherry growers as
'sociatlon here Is exnectlns: to
handle a smaller tonnage than It
had figured on.
Heciiufia of the light Royal Anne
crop In California there Is no
doubt but Raas will be back here
again thin vear and Indications are
that he will have to pay a good
price.
JEWELERS ELECT
A. Fred Glover of Klamath Fall
was elected president of the Ore
gon Retail Jewelers association at
the convention that closed here
last night. Other officers were
elected as follows: First vice
president. W. H, Saxton, Port
land; sncon tlvlce-presldent, W. F
Ucrtram, Atartslifield; third vice
president, K. G. wnrren, Corv&l
11s; secretary-treasurer, A. A
Keenc, Salem. Officers bold for
ono year.
Klamath Falls was selected as
the place for holding the next an
nual convention, which will be
the 19th.
The convention here closed last
night with a banquet and dance,
at which over 150 people were
present.
Although the state association
already has 133 members, or 80
per cent of the Jewel t.rs In Oregon
eligible for membership, decision
was made yesterday to stage an
active effort to secure additional
members. A membership commit
tee was appointed consisting of
A. A. Keene of Bslem, W. H. Sax
ton of Portland and F. M. French
of Albany.
Outstanding among conclusions
reached at the convention, which
' declared by delegates to be
the most successful ever held by
the association, was the decision
to continue the right against the
federal excise tax on Jewelry,
which was branded as an unjust
discrimination against jewelers.
An analysis of statistics pre
sented In chart form before the
convention purported to show that
tbe average net njoftt in the jew
elry business at present In 1.9 per
cent, as against 6.8 per cent net
profit in the hadware business, 6.S
per cent In the drug; business and
1.5 per cent in the grocery busi
ness. Turnover in the grocery
business is 10 timee as fast as
turnover In the jewelery business,
which has the slowest turnover of
any standard business. It was
stated. Turnover of Jewelry stock
was said to average only once a
year. Remedy yropoBed was to
buy atocK more often, and In
smaller quantities.
At last night's banquet an In
dian blanket and a Bmoklng jacket
were presented to F. M. French of
Albany, retiring secretary. French
has been secretary of the organ
ization since its inception 18 years
ago.
Action was taken Inviting Al
vin Lewis, organizer of the state
association, and its first president,
to the next convention at Klamath
Kalis. All expenses Involved in
the trip will be paid by the asso
ciation. Mr. Lewis is 'now owner
f a chicken reneb near Klamath
Falls.
Treasurer's report showed that
there was $705.79 in the treasury
t the time of closing the conven
tion. A set of resolutions was drawn
up and passed at the banquet last
night.

first plea from Oregon for lower
freight rates on agricultural pro
ducts under the powers granted It
by the Hoch-Smlth resolution reach
ed the interstate commerce com
miwiion today, filed by the Ump
qua Uroccoli exchange of Rose
burg, In accordance with the com
mlKKlon's request for views of In
terested parties.
The brief sets forth that the
cost of .producing broccoli In the
Umpqua valley la from HO to 90
cent a crate, while railroads re
ceive 81 centa a crate for hauling
It to Chicago. During the heaviest
shipping period of last year, the
rate on broccoli f. o. b. Oregon
point. Is declared to huvta been
from 60 cents to SI a crate.
Douglas county produces be
tween 360 and 400 carloads of
broccoli each year, 1925 having
been an exception on account of
the unprecedented freeze which
practically ruined the crop, says
the association's statement over
the signature of Foster Butner, its
secretary-manager.
