To fight the "fruit trust" lu all iti forms, will be the purpose of the Northwest Fruit Association, as announced at a meeting held in Albany last week. Organized at Salem to enter the prune-packing field this fall, the association will widen Its scope and operate canneries or take any other steps necessary to provide competition and protect fruitgrowers. Plana of the associa tion now crystallising presage a wide spread effect on future fruit culture in Oregon. Alleged unfair methods of the Prune-Packers' Association, which prompted the organization of the union of growers, were reviewed. It was claimed that the packers who control all of the prune-packlng plants in Oregon and Washington, have a drastic contract, making the packers sole judge of quality and absolute arbiter of price. When the Albany plant failed In the financial panic last Fall, the so-called "trust" thought competition was dead in the prune business, and but for the new asoclation eould have forced growers to their terms. The new asoclation will operate the Albany prune-packing plant this year, and It was stated that enough growers are in the new organization to assure an output of 40 carloads. It expects to handle 60 cars alto gether. X'p to Harrlman to Build Roads. Iloaeberg. That the net profits of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company for a single year, after al lowing for all operating expenses, Interest, taxes and a 4-per cent divi dend on stock, amount to enough to build a railroad from the Willamette Valley to the Idaho line, is the state ment of Oswald West, a member of the Oregon Railroad Commission. Mr. West submits figures from the books of this railroad company to support his statement. In hli ad dresg before tho people of the Coos Day region he undertook to show that Mr. Harrlman's remarks were inapplicable to Oregon when he aaid at Chicago that if the railroads are expected to extend their lines and Increase their equipment they must get more revenue. Mr. West demon strated that one of the Harrlman lines already gets every year enough net revenue to build a line across the state. He asserted that U all the profits of both the Harrlman lines were put into new roads, Harrlman could not find enough men to flag trains at the crossings. Mr. West declares that unless Mr. Harrlman proceeds at once to build the Central Oregon and the Coos Bay lines there Is no good reason why the unreasonable rates now In effect on his lines should not be reduced. New Roada Planned. Albany. An electrle line from Al bany to Brownsville, a distance of 22 miles, is bolng projected by E. H. rhodes, a local capitalist. He also plana to build n street railway sys tem in this city, and If franchises are secured, he will begin work lm mediately. Local capital la behind both enterprises and other local men, whose names have not yet been made public, are associated In the project with Rhodes. In the event that the Albany Brownvllla road is built, it la said that Rhodos wll secure the rights-of-way heretofore granted to J. 3. Tal bot for a road up tho Calapoola River from Brownsville to Crawfordsvllle. Talbot has secured deeds for a right-of-way for the Una for a distance of 10 miles, deeds being in escrow in the Bank of Brownsville, to become the property of the company if the railroad is In operation by August 1, 1909. Talbot has begun a general survey for the line and is planning to build it at once, but negotiations are said to be In progress for the pur chase of the rights-of-way from Tal bot by Rhodes and his associates, the consummation of th. deal de pending on the securing of a fran chise in Albany and the building of the Albany-Brownsville electric line. Iioy Has Close Call. Salem. The bite of a rat upon the finger came alarmingly near costing Frank W. Durbln, Jr., his life from the effects of blood-politonlng. The incident happened more than two months ago, but it was five weeks be fore any signs of inflammation and fever set In and for eight long weeks after that the little fellow lingered between life and death. He Is now convalescent, however, and there la bright hopes of his ultimate recovery. Little Frank and the little son of Dr. B. C. Griffith were playing upon the front lawn when they found a big rat. The Griffith lad gave it a kick and stunned It momentarily and Frank picked it up. He had no sooner done so than the rodent re covered and crabbed him by the finger. Iank.1 throw the rat down BRAGG & from his hand. The wound was cau terized and nothing more was thought of the matter until the com plications of a few weeks later set in. Petition for New Road. Tillamook Fred C. Skomp has filed a petition with the county court in favor of a new county road which would bring this city within S3 miles of Portland. At present It takes the citizens of Portland 80 hours to g'lt return mall from Tillamook. By tl route, Mr. 8komp contonds, th. Gov ernment would save (2000 each yaar on ita mall. Courtney Oreen, the young man who Is serving a life sentence for complicity In a murder, having been sent up from Lane county about ten years ago, was allowed to visit his mother, last week, who Is In a dy ing condition in Salem. The old lady is in destitute circumstances and has long been a county charge. There is a dearth of rabbits all over Crook county. Two years ago the rabbits were so plentiful one could almost go Into the sagebrush and knock them over with a club, but now they are rarely seen. The disappearance of these farm pests Is attributed to inoculation performed by the Government near Madras two years ago, the contagion rapidly deci mating the rabbits. At a public mags meeting In Prlne vllle last week, called to consider subscriptions toward the building of the proposed Central Oregon rail road, from Prlnevllle and Bend to MadraB and Shanlko, it was the sense of the meeting that should Shanlko be finally selected as the outlet, $50, 000 should be subscribed at Prlne vllle; otherwise, $100,000 for con nection over tho Cascades or down the Deschutes river to the Columbia. The late Captain Roswell H. Lam- son, In whoHu honor one of the tor pedoboat destroyers under construc tion has been named by order of President Roosevelt, was the father of R. B. Latnson, member of the Portland Water Board. The only surviving daughter of the distin guished naval fighter, Mrs. Helen Lamson Crary, resides at Mayfleld, Cal. Following the close of the Civil War, Captain Lamson resigned from the navy and removed to Oregon, lo cating In Portl'ind, where for many years he wbb clork of the United States court. He died in 1904. The southern section of Gilliam county was visited by electrical storms and a dewnpour of rain and hall last week, which put a stop to all harvesting operations. Lightning fell on the Charles Heln place, on Beecher Flat, and the big combined harvester could hardly be stopped be fore the persons became aware of the great danger. While unharnessing the 26 horses one of the harvest hands was struck by lightning and knocked down. Emma, the 14-year-old daughter of Mr. Heln, who was aiding In getting the horses Into the barn, was also knocked senseless for a short time. Two million dollars will be spent by the Harrlman interests in build ing the now line into Central Oregon if the project juBt announced by Mr. Harrlman Is carried to completion. It will be about ISO miles long. Work of construction on the new line will be commenced about December 1, according to those In a position to know. The completion of the new Central Oregon line Is a matter of perhaps a year. The track should be completed In time for the next crop season, and Mr. Harrlman has intimated that he will build about 100 miles of new track a year in future until all the north-and-south and east-and-west line mapped out in this state are completed. It is predicted the new line Into the in terior will follow the Deschutes river from Its mouth, it being thought that this offers the beBt means of reach ing the territory sought to be tapped.
