By order of the City Council. r r PRUNE PACKING IS BEING PUSHED BY GROWERS In an effort to fill the early orders for prunes as soon as possible the Oregon Growers' Cooperative assoc iation is packing in all of the prune growing districts. The plants at Salem, Dallas, Rid dle, Myrtle Creek, Yamhill and Cres well are working at top speed in an effort to get out at least 15 carloads this week. The first shipments have already been made and 12 carloads have rolled up to this time. Eight of these cars are for export to Eng land and Canada. Due to the car shortage caused by the heavy movement of fruit from the Pacific coast at this time it is prob able that shipments may be retarded considerably and the association is at present laboring under the diffi culty of securing cars as fait as they are .needed. HOMECOMING TO BE OBSERVED AT O. A. C. Oregon Agricultural College "Home coming nas Deen scneauieu jor November 11. 12 and 13. At this time O. A. C. will play her big foot ball game with W. S. C. Plans are being made to make the 1921 home coming the biggest and best of the college history Besides the game, many other features are scheduled, in cluding freshman-sophomore bag rush, rally Jiomecoming dance and open house. A hearty welcome to the "01d""Grads" and the spirit of the college will be at its highest. FINNLAND SEEN BY LOCAL BOY Conditions in Finnknd are intercst ingly portrayed by Hugh Miller in a letter to his mother, Mrs. F. O. Tnrker of Independence. Writing under the date of September ISLh at Kotka, Finnland, Mr. Miller says Arrived in Kotka this morning f rom Raumo. At the rate of work usual to these folks we shall be here about six days. To move the cargo, which in Hamburg took less than two days, will require here about 11 days. Kotka is the second city of Finn land, situated not far from the capi tal city of Helsingfors and nbt very far from rvtrbgrad, Russia. In many respects it is the strangest place I have seen. I could fill pages with the strarige customs and habits. Really, the people seem to do things backwards. The best way to give an idea of the country and this place in particular is to take you with me on a trip to town. As you leave the ship in the very fine harbor, a heavy but thoroughly efficient sailboat takes you ashore. They have few motor boats, due to the lack of gasoline. However, these folks are among the finest sailors in the world and do wonders with noth ing but sails to pick a way through the crowded harbor. When we reach the quay the first queer thing to strike the eye is the widti gauge, Russian-type railroad, which wide as it is, contains the dinkiest little cars you ever saw called upon to do duty as carriers. This is, however, common throughout Europe. Our freight cars are easily four times as large as these. Then too, the locomotives would do poor credit to a logging road in Oregon. I Fine little toys, no more efficient than they look. The fast train to Hulsirgfers comprises a dozen green freight cars, many still bearing the painted Russian Imperial Eagle, two second-class carriages and a sadly dilapidated third-class coach. If ii journeyed all the way to Helsingfors with the fuss with which it was "made up" here it was some expe dition. The -docks and stoVage houses are si! of wood on granite foundations. Wood and stcne are everywhere in this vicinity. I wonder how the pre trees manage to do so well in such stony soil. Anyhow they furnish the manufacture. It is hard to start a description of A I. -A ,'l .. me iu, proper wnicn would give a clear impression. It is so jumbled and diffej-ent from any other town. There is no order; residences, pubile buildings, fctores, parks and pavilliorn are in-discrimateljr mixed. Going tup the nearest thing to a main street to be found, you come first to a coffee house I might say you come to them regularly. They are the commonest thing here. In these places folks gather for the sake, I guess, cf con versation. It surely cannot be for the sake of the weak coffee Mocha, which they serve. Howbeit, here everyone seems to gather munching the very decent cakes, drinking coffee, spoor ing and ogling the offish women the country puts out.

However, the White Government is taking up the matter of schools and Normal schools are now established everywhere and the students, boys and girls in neat gray uniforms with small white cap are numerous. 1 mwiwt this whole sale making of teachers is a part of Goverinentnl propaganda. At any rate these people surely need some sort of probing. In the center of the town is a fine park which would do credit to any community of the size. Well cared and pleasing to see. This evening n barid gave a public concert at the park. The music was not so pleasing. Music is rot found so fur north of Germany. I have notice.! among me Northland immigrants to our cout.try a lack of musical abili.y. Hid you ever hear a Finnish band? S'awful. In my walk today I came across n large stem- building of recent con struction. It was t( pped with a t ail representing the world by way of or nament. It had the look of u library and such I thought it. It turned out to be a bank. A bank is certainly 11 necessity in the handling of this paper currency. The serial numbers on Mark hills run into the tens of mil lions. However, a Finnish Mark is worth two Cerm.v- Mark-;. These German Marks, by the way, now worth about a dollar per bushe l have just about ru:ned me. home financier! The architecture in Finnland leans but slightly to the Kussiiir. Tho buildings are mostly plain, square and unornanienteil. Occasionally a Russian gable is seen or the arched gateways of Russia. Chiefly I should say the Finr.s have built to withstand the hard winters of this land and sacrificed the art side of building, which is wisdom. A striking sight is the cabs. "Drowskys" they call them but the spelling" is my own. Small four wheeled carriages seating two pi r sw,s and the driver and drawn by tiny horses, smaller even than the ponies of the West Indies, they bowl about the cobbled streets at an amaz ing pace. I have seen but one auto mobile in Firrdund. The cabmen, like their ilk the world over, are stick-up men of the first water. However, what has an American to fear after erperiencing tho computing of a taxi-meter in New York 'or Portland for that matter! I have founl it a safe rub to cut the cabman's price in half and dicker on that basis. The rule applies from New York to Kotka.
