Court Hall Gives Views
On Fru it Situation in
Valley.
To date there ban neon sold hy
the growers of the valley, ap
proximately 6000 tonfl of cannery
HartlettH, at prices ranging from
22.50 to J27.60 per toll, accord
ing to Court Mall, local represen
tative of Kehuckul mid Company
of Bujinysldo, Calif. Acting for
this concern, Hall purchased 2K00
tons Thursday, and othor can
neries nought 1G00 tons.
All the lurgo Hartlott orchards
have sold with the exception of
Hear Creek, Koldonhelmer, and
Del rtlo. Many largo holdings, ac
cording to Hall took advantage of
the $27. SO offer, while others are
holding out for a (30 per ton
offer.
. Eastern box trade Is still firm
and averaging about $3.2!i. Tho
California Hartlett crop Is pretty
well sold, according to 1 lull, who
sixes up tho cannory situation as
follows:
Yakima and vicinity have about
G200 tons of cannery Hartlotts
which are selling from 20 to
122.50 per ton for No. 1 grndo.
Washington and northern canner
ies aro taking udvuntago of thoso
prices, and aro not expected to do
much buying If any hore.
"Consequently," nays Mr. Hall,
"the price of pears hero depends
upon tho Eastern box trudo, or
the demand of the California can.
ncrles. Hhould there bo llttlo do
nmnd from tho south, tho cannery
Hnrtlctla will slny at $23.60. How
ever, should tho demand be brisk,
prices aro apt to go to ISO or
1.16 per tun. Thoso who aro keep
ing In close touch with the situa
tion, think there will bo a brisk
demand for cannory, Hartlotts, bo
fore the 'Season ends."
Hall nays that Hartlotts aro be
ing sold on a basis of 00 cents
per box net to the grower, for
eastern shipment.
"Prices this season look rflnro
favorable than last year for both
Hnrtletts and Hoses," says Mr.
Hall. "This condition should bo

for a $250. 000 bond election to
provide a itc for the $2,000,000

outstanding. In these days of oppo
sition to civic; development.
No selection -of a site has been
made by the veterans bureau, but
Huge no calls a site election any
way, to leavo no loophole.
The. fletlon will bo of interest
to many citizens of this city and

Under tho editorial caption, "Tho
Eugene Spirit, M the Salem Capital
Journal says:
"Tho up and coming city of Ku

cepted as a site by the veterans'
bureau, but wants to bo ready to

time.
"The action .shows the confi
dence that exist In Eugene, for
Its selection over Iloseburg. Wheth
er her citizens have -been tipped
off privately that their chances
arc most favorable, is not vouch
safed, but It appears probable, be
en u no of tho failure of the board
to accept , Rose-burg, when there
was no competition. At any rate,
Eugene's chances mom excellent.
"Ono thing that. Eugene must
bo commended for, the way he.
cllfzens pull together nnd present
a united front In behalf of any
movement designed to aid com
munity development nnd progress.
Most cities nro retarded by fac

and bickerings that prevent unity
but not Eugene. In Eugene, It

Fair man D. Rick, New York in

petition of the carriers for a 15
per cent increase in freight rates,
said that unless the lines are given
this assistance-they will lose a

Unless earnings Increased, he
continued, billions of dollars worth
of railroad securities must be
wiped off, the legal list of ap
proved investments for insurance

"The country has no idea of
the seriousness of tho railroad sit
uation today," he said. "It 1s only
comparable to that of Germany.
Capital is fleeing from railroad to
utility, government and municipal
bonds and It will be very hard
for tho railroads to obtain capital
necessary to re-finance maturing
obligations.
"On June 1, the flight of cap

German situation. Since June 1
the flight of capital from Ger
