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.

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.

would welcome buck the day of tho
Catur. No doubt thin in that painful

also American goods are displayed.

buildings are very good. One
Kotka is e cially fine. The only
two sellout which I have seen weir
as to buildings n joke. 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. In thb;
town you may encircle the place and 1 RTTTTy If UVBiW PH
