"Five cars of fruit, or approxi mately 6000 crates, have been ship ped by the Ashland Fruit company, the majority of the growers sellin? their crop through the fruit com pany. Mr. Pankey estimated In the neighborhood of 50 tons have been packed out to date and estimated the remainder of the crop which will be handled (his week will bring the total in the neighborhood of 70 to 75 tons. "Thornton Wiley, whose cherry crop will total ovenlSVi tons, is trucking the major portion of the lllngs and I-nmberts to California markets, selling the major portion of the crop for fancy market sale In San Francisco, and also selling on the I.oa Angelas markets," the paper continues. "There are 18 pickers at work In the Wiley orchard nt the pre ent time, 10 packers in the pack ing house and a half dozen other workers aiding in harvesting the crop.

"A car of Ashland , grown cher ries was sold in New York this morning and brought substantial returns, according to Mr. Pankey. "In. addition to the fruit sold to the Rogue River cannery and Bold in large commercial lots, there has been a large quantity of fruit sold in fancy pack gift boxes. The Ileal h orchard on Terrace street for several ' years has specialized in Ibis fnncy pack box sale and an ever increasing sale Is found both on ihe local and city markets.

Exploration Film at F ox Craierian A grass fire, the origin of which Is unknown, sturted about 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon on state land at Walker creek, four miles southeast of Ashland and had grown to such proportion! that the forestry office was notified about 10 O'clock last night. Dwlght Phip:s, illstitet fire warden, who later vis ited the scene, wus unuble to judge how big an area had burned over at that time because at night a fire always looks larger than It really is. It Is presumed that the fire light ters had the fire under control or extinguished, for no further word was received from it by the Crater national forest office here today. Portland Wheal PORTLAND.

PUT UNDER CONTROL WIMJAMfl CREEK, Ore., July 12 (Speclnl) Two forest fires were burning on the left band fork of Williams creek Sunday and Monday, but by prompt ac tion of Fire Warden Meorgo Fields who put 15 men on the spot, Ihey were brought under control before any serious damnge was done. Sev eral hundred acres were burned over. L PlnmMfled advertising geta result Announcement! Effective Saturday morning. July 12, at the opening of business, The Standard Oil Company! of California will restore its prices for gasoline to levels prevailing , V" prior to the beginning of the so-called price war. The events of the pnst month, the company believes, have demonstrated to the oil industry that indis . criminate price cutting benefits neither the supplier nor the dealer, and that it must now be realized that orderly marketing conditions and stabilized prices need the cooperation of all of those engaged in the oil business. It is the hope of the company that this step will not only bring order out of ex isting chaos, but will also result in stabilization, with consequent benefit to the oil industry and to the general welfare and prosperity of the Pacific coast. Only the prompt termination of the price war which has been raging on the Pacific coast can save the oil industry and many thousands of per- sons engaged in the sale of, petroleum products, from catastrophe. The prosperity of the industry, and those associated with it, is a matter of great consequence to the welfare of all. business. If the oil industry, which' with its huge investments and . hundreds of thousands of stockholders and em ployees, is one of the greatest economic units of the Pacific coast, fails to prosper, the effect on other businesses, already depressed in many respects would be disastrous. ' So far as crude oil is concerned, producers, have done their share. Throughout California they have cooperated to confine the production of crude oil to the demand and to conserve for future requirements this invaluable resource, the waste of which is in defensible. This is only the first step. It loses its effectiveness if manufacturers and marketers of the refined products of petroleum do not. similarly re frain from over production through the withdrawal of crude oil already in storage. Laws enacted nearly forty years ago to nieet dif ferent conditions have been interpreted to prohibit agreements to curtail the production of refined pro ducts as well as agreements to regulate the price structures under which thev are sold. Neverthe less much can lie accomplished if those engaged in the industry will use their individual efforts to sta bilize marketing conditions for gasoline and if they will practice fair dealing in competition. "Without a production of gasoline restricted to the demand, and without stabilized marketing conditions for the product, the curtailed production of crude petro leum will be only an idle gesture and the conserva tion of oil so earnestly supported by the federal administration will be doomed to failure. Among the causes destructive of stabilized market ing conditions is the dealer whose only aim, regard less of the reasonableness of prevailing prices, is to take the business of his neighbor by selling below the latter's price. In a stabilized market the sup pliers aim to fix a price by agreement with their dealers which will afford the latter a reasonable margin of profit, be it three or four cents a gallon, or whatever the figure. It is estimated that there are some 40,000 dealers on the Pacific coast. Of these, over 39,000 arc content to "live and let . live." They take their margin and resell the gaso line supplied to them at prices fair to the public and which yield the supplier and the dealer a fair profit. There are perhaps 1000 dealers on the Pacific coast whose policy is otherwise. They cut the price not because they believe it unfair or too high, but be-. ' cause they are determined to get another man's business regardless of the fairness of his price. The Standad Oil Company of California announces as a policy that it will not sell its products to that class of dealer. It does not want his business. It matters not whether he is practicing his unfair com petition with respect to the products of this c6m pany or of its competitors. So far as this company is concerned, it will regard the dealer who cuts prices without respect to their reasonableness in order to take the trade and livelihood of his neigh bor as an outlaw in the business. - Finally, in order to do its share toward maintaining a balance between supply and demand, this com puny will confine its manufacture of gasoline to the quantity required by its actual demand. SALKM, Ore., July 12. If the people of California, In the fall election, approve a proposed con Htitutional amendment . whereby the personal tax on automobiles become a part of the atate license fee, Himllar to the Oregon system, Secretary of Rtate Hoss expects fewer California license plates on cars that are really owned In Ore Kn. California's flat 3 fee has al ways 'been a temptation to some Oreicn car owners to "booties;" plates from the neighboring state. The stnte traffic department Is on the lookout for these and Secre tary Hobs believes that by far most of the California plates seen In Oregon, even outside the tourist Heason, are legal.
