IN BARTLETT DEALj
Post $25 Price While Watch
ing for Fresh Fruit Mar
ket Break, Firm Says
Eastern Figures High
Livestock
California cannon are again play
lag the old game of waiting In the
hope of purchasing Bartlett pears at
bargain prices. It la stated In a bul
letin Issued today by American Fruit
Growers, Inc.
"Canners Insist they can't pay more
than $35 a ton. which contention to
us seems ridiculous In view of the
fact that the 1936 canned surplus
has been liquidated" the bulletin
states. "With the Increased buying
power over the country, it seems to
us that a better price could be of
fered by canners."
In the Sacramento river district,
canners have hiked the price to 30
a ton. with few takers, packing house
executives here aald. One block of
500 tons, however, was reported sold
at this figure, the quotations being
for No. l'a.
Boost Encouragtng.
' Medford shippers were encouraged
by the Increase to $30 for Sacramento
Bartletts. believing that this Indi
cates an exhaustion of the Santa
Clara supply which threatened to es
tablish the market at 925.
There la a feeling here that the
canneries will have to make an addi
tional boost to fill their California
quota. The canneries are reported
to have bought about 40.000 tons In
the Santa Clara area and plan to
buy 50.000 to 60,000 . additional tons
In the three remaining California
districts, Sacramento valley. Lake
county and Placervllle.
Any resistance ofered to the can
series' quotations in California would
be reflected In the prices posted when
they enter the Rogue river valley,
shippers pointed out. Last year the
canneries bought about 13.000 torm
here and It was thought a better
price than the current quotations
could be procured this season.
$25 Posted In Yakima. ' 1
Nevertheless, the canners have been
buying Santa Clara Bartletts for $25
a ton and have been offering Yaki
ma growers the same price, with a
guarantee of 75 percent of any rise
In the market, according to the Amer
ican Fruit Growers' bulletin.
"It Is reported that quite a few
Yakima growers are responding to
this deal and quite a tonnage has
already been sold to canners," the
bulletin says.
It Is stated that the eastern mar
ket price on fresh pack California
Bartletts on the first week's ship
merits was around $4 to $5 a box
delivered. With allowances for dif
ferentials, an. eastern price of $5 a
box would probate about $150 a ton
here.
When daily shipments Increased
substantially, the eastern price eased
down to $3 a box and today ranges
between $2.75 and $3. the bulletin
says. An eastern boxed price of $3.75
to $3 Is the equivalent of about $50
to $60 a ton here.
Waiting for Break.
"If the eastern market on Cali
fornia Bartletts should from now on
break badly, the canners no doubt
expect growers to run for cover even
at the $25 price," the bulletin avers
"If this break should fall to ma
terialize, however. It's rather certain
that the canners caught short on
supplies would be forced to pay more.
In short. It's the same old watting
game the canners are playing."
So far as the fresh fruit market
for late poar varieties Is concerneo
, the prospects are considered bright.
The Oregon - Washington - California
Fear Bureau, augmented for the first
time this year by California member
ship, Is planning to spend $50,000 to
$60,000 on Its advertising, promotion
and educational campaign, this be
ing the largest budget in its history.
It Is calculated that about 65 percent
of the late California pear tonnage Is
represented !n the bureau.

Attorney Advises State Body
Watch Purse Strings in
Acquiring Highway Rights
of Way Baldock .Retorts
PORTLAND, July 09. (fP) J. M.
Deavera, attorney for the highway
commission, warned the commission
ers and the engineering department
today to take cognisance of the ris
ing price in right-of-way values In
adopting road locations.
He said property owners are now
looking toward the state as a pros
pective buyer and are no longer sym
pathetic.
'I am offering you something to
think About and not attempting to
define a policy." he continued in his
general recommendation the commis
sion watch its pursw strings in ac
quiring land.
The suggestion tirought a retort
from R. H. Baldock, engineer, that
property rights and their costs are
alwaya considered in establishing
highway routes. Thorough Investiga
tion. Is always made, especially In
connection with city property, he
said.
"There are countless monuments
In the state" showing where rights of
way have been given prime considera
tion, he added, "and the routes are
no good."
There are more commission 'bulls'
than engineering" In acquiring the
rights, Baldock said. He remarked that
If right-of-way costs blocked action,
new roads In the state would still be
full of kinks.
"I'm not In favor of saving right-
of-way costs at the expense of road
standards," said Chairman Henry P.
Cabell. The chairman said the com
mission would endeavor not to let the
expense of property acqusltlon get out
of line.
Engineers received instructions to
investigate the report of damaging
slides on the Roberts property along
the Siskiyou route In Jackson county.
The owners complained road construc
tion had resulted In considerable
damage to a house and about 10 acres
of land. The extent will be determined
and a claim probably authorized.

The court bill to which Rayburn re
ferred is awaiting senate action be

Administration leaders apparently

The senate met an hour early to

Senator Austin (R.-Vt.) opened the

statutory monopoly of the right of

"No laborer In America." he told
the senate, "should be so far de
