Salem The Oregon Growers' Co rporative aasociation has advanced the price of prunes one-half cent on 30- 40 and one-quarter cent on all other grades, above the opening prices. The price as announced is as follows for prunes packed in 25 pound boxes, i. o. b. shipping points: 3O-40B Hc 40-COs 9c &0-o'0s 8V4c GO-70 8c 7O-80 7 Vic f0-lM)s 694c WJ-lOOs 6V4c Oregim prunes have been sold in more markets this year than ever be fore, according to officials of the as sociation, and it is their belief that this wlil help maternally to dspose of this crop as well as future crops. Great Britain, Central Europe, Cana da and domestic markets have re sponded with an eagerness for the 1922 pack that has been surprising. The first payment of two cents per pound on gooseberries has been made to the members of the Oregon Grow ers' Cooperative association in the Willamette valley, according to a statement issued recently. This will be followed by other payments and the closing of the pool as soon as the shipments of the canned fruit is com pleted. Strawberry growers are also being advanced a like amount. Cherries are now moving faster. The association expects to move two cars of black cherries before the end of the week. Several cars have been shipped from The Dalles- to Chicago and New York markets. The loganberry harvest is on with practically every yard busily caring for the fruit. Growers state that a considerable tonnage will be lost on account of the hot dry weather of the last few days. The crop is suffering from a lack of rain and the fruit which usually ripens toward the end of the season will not amount to much according to growers. The cherry and loganberry crops will come together this year and growers who have not engaged their labor report considerable alarm over the scarcity of help. A demonstration was given on the streets here Wednesday night by II. A. Long of Portland with an Ameri can La France Ford triple combina tion hose, chemical and pumper. Tho outfit consists of a ton Ford chassis, a 40 gallon chemical tank, and a pump which will deliver 250 gallons of water a minute at 120 pounds pres aure. Mr. Long was here for the purpose of getting the city council sufficient ly interested in the outfit to place an order for it. His exhibit was made with the assistance of Fire Chief Wood, and attracted a considerable attention. A denionstrtion was also given later in the evening in the north part of town.

FIRE AT MIDDAY WARR1NER HOUSE Defective Flue Is Attributed As Cause of Destructive Blaze at ARCHIE JUSTIN GETS KNOCKOUT BLOW ON 4th FRED MUHLEMAN INJURED; CAUGHT UNDER CAR While working in the Stewart Motor company garage, Thursday morning, Fred Muhleman was badly injured by being pinned between the car and floor, bruising his head. With the wheels off and one jack under the front axle, Mr. Muhleman was working beneath the car. When an attempt was made to turn over the engine, the jack sluffed its load, dropping it on to the young man's head. There was a scurry to relieve him from his perilous position. Med ical examination revealed that the injuries were not deeply serious, al though it was a wonder to the at tending physician that his head was not crushed. Mr. Muhleman was taken to his home. Enroute to Pacific City, Archie Justin "took the count" a short dis tance this side of Goverdale on the morning of July 4th. He had stopped Lis car to change tires and while filling it with air, it went off the rim with such force that it threw Mr. Justin several feet, filling his eyes with dirt and rendering him partially unconscious. He was taken to Clover dale, where he was attended by a physician, where it was found that he had not suffered any permanent injury. Mr. Justin was accompanied by his family, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Muhleman, and Miss Esther Muhleman of Salem.

Like the basket lunch which had been provided it was a "feast" but for the soul rather than the body, but as the body had been very amply cared for in a sumptuous repast, the ration balance was there. Mr. Pierce confined his talk to historical events. He has the gift of Dortravinc them well and is evi dently a student of American history, j in the estimation of local people who attended the gathering. As a climax to the day, there was a ball game with married and single men as opponents, with wives and sweethearts as the rooters.

Fire destroyed the residence of J. P. Warriner, located just to the west of the training school building on C street last Sunday afternoon, and caused a thrill of excitement to the owners of adjoining property. Starting on the second floor, and be lieved to have been due to a defective flue, the top of the building was a mass of flames before a fire alarm was turned in. Fanned by a strong breeze the fire gained much headway before the fire department put in appearance. The household goods on the first floor were largely removed but nothing was saved from the upstairs. Mr. Warriner was in the house alone at the time the fire broke out. Some time before, he had burned some papers which had ac cumulated in the heating stove and the presumption is that the fire or iginated from this source. The fire burned fiercely, and while the fire department kept several streams of water turned on it for some time, all of the upper story was burned and the lower floor was left a complete wreck. Mr. Warriner carried an insurance of $1500 on the building and $1000 on the household goods. It is said that a cherry tree estab lished George Washington's reputa tion for veracity. During the fire, a cherry tree, or rather, three of 'em, saved George Carbary's attrac tive bungalow from being severely scorched or gutted. The Carbray residence adjoins the Warriner property on the west. Close to th house are three large cherry trees and these formed an effective fire guard, although it was necessary to keep the Carbray roof saturated witX water. Monmouth Jennings B.
