A t a meeting o f prhne growers lield
in Salem a few days ago, a movement
was started for the organisation o f a
mutual Insurance company, for the In­
surance o f prune dryers. The growers
were agreed that the Insurance com­
panies charge too high a rate of pre­
mium tor this class o f risks, and that
the cost would be greatly reduced by
co-operative action. A committee to
report a plan o f organisation was ap­
pointed, consisting o f John Pemberton
chairman. Roaedale; W. S. Wright,
Roseburg; Augustus High, Vancouver:
A. Shlber, Philomath; Hr. Blanchard,
Salem; H. 8. Oils, Salem; H. J. Zur-
cher, Liberty.
It Is intended that the Insurance as­
sociation
Shall
accept
members
throughout Oregon and Washington
and transact a general business only
on prune dryers and wafehouses. T h e

tion with any o f the other prnnegrow-

Jim Keene, the well-known broker,
who was recently squeezed to the tune
o f $2,000,000 liv W all street, knows the
ups and downs of
the market. In 1884
he suspended pay­
ment after losing a
fortune of $7,000,000
In six months. Only
six years before he
had arrived In New

bold'ventures had brought himself to
an eminence which carried a rating of
$5,000,000 whefi he moved to New
York. Hla first combination was with
Jay Gould, with whom he engaged In
fighting Western Union with Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph.
W hile they
profited In this campaign, he broke
with Gould shortly afterwards, alleg­
ing that Gould had gone back on his
friends and sold them ont In the mid­
dle o f a deal. Gould, on the other
hand," declared that Keene had played
him a shabby trick. I t was at this
time that Keene expreseed the opin­
ion that Gould was the wickedest man
In the world.
*
Keene had heaped up his profits In
cash and was known to have aa much
as $9,000,000 In currency when he un­
dertook to corner the wheat market.
An attempt to bull Jersey Central
stocks, conducted at the same time as
the wheat corner, was similarly un­
profitable. for the stock went down
forty points In one day. Whether
Keene . might have succeeded In his
wheat corner or not w ill never posi­
tively be known, for the attempt mis­
carried when a forged telegram was
sent from New York to his Chlcavo
brokers ordering tbem to sell 2,CO).O00
bushels o f wheat. They threw it on
the market, It became known that
Keene was selling, and before all the
evils had been reckoned with Keene
was $6,000,000 loser on wheat. Jersey
Central cost him over $1,000,000.
Keene came back in 1880, wh?n
stocks took an upward trend aud be d
It, and those who had expected to see
him wane noted his return to fortune’s
favor in a more lavish form than he
had ever enjoyed it. Hla wealth on pa­
per rose to $20,000,000. H e then went
Into every game In the market, and
the see-saw o f the street afcd o f other
men’s brains In conflict with his stead­
ily wore down his fortune so that In
April, 1881, he waa believed to be at
the end o f the road. H e went on des­
perately, rallying by an occasional
coup, but being overwhelmed by the
collapse o f a deal In Northern Pacific.
H e then took to dealing In privileges,
and he sold these so recklessly and
the market turned so unfortunately
that he entangled himself beyond hope
o f redemption, and in 1884 failed
again.

Mr. Keene got back into the market
again, and when success came to him
he paid all the debts that were out­
standing when be suspended In 1884.

Pulp Mill doses D u n ,
Because o f the extreme low stage o f
the W illam ette river, the management
o f the W illam ette Pulp A Paper mills,
at Oregon City, has found it necessary
to close down station A. which Is lo­
cated on the east side o f the river.
It Is In this mill that the pulp Is pre­
pared by which the paper la manufac­
tured In the mills on the west side.
The closing down o f station A, how-
over, w ill not interfere in any way with
the operation, o f the main mills o f the
corporation since there la a sufficient
sunply o f pulp on hand to keep the
mUla going for several weeks.
Baton Creamery
The Union creamery has at last be­
come firmly established, and la doing
a large bnslneas In manufacturing but­
ter and -fine cream for supplying the
town# o f this part of the state. A
skimming station la in operation at
Cove, and the company la now pro-
paring to establish another station at
Medical Springs, 20 miles east of
Union.
Forty Coats for Picking Hops
A number o f prominent hopgrowers
held an Informali meeting at Salem
last week and and discussed the price
to be paid fo r hoppicking. It was the
cousensus o f opinion that 40 cents a
box should be the ruling price. A
number o f growers are advertising for
nickers, and a few o f tha larger yards
have their list nearly complete.
