Unit, to Fight Combine.
Albany. 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.
