I REFRIGERATOR CAR
SHORTAGE SERIOUS
The following monthly synopsis pt
the Pacific Coast fruit business, as
contained in the current monthly re
port of the San Francisco Federal Re
serve Bank, shows that the refriera
tor car shortage has Been serious :
The movement 01 iresn deciduous
fruits from California during August
was large, despite temporary embar
goes on the shipment of perishable
products, caused by railroad strike
conditions. Total shipments of decidu-i
pus fruits from California during the
1922 season to September 11, amounted
to 18,840 cars, as compared with 17,589
cars shipped during the 1921 season to
September 11. With the exception of
grapes, Bhipment ol Iruit from ( ah
fornia has been almost completed.
A shortage of refrigerator cars, due
to interrupted return movements from
the east, has recently oecome serious.
On Sentember 15 the supply of refric
erator cars was reported to be msuni
cient fcr the need of shippers of
grapes, the shortage in some sections
being as high as 75 per cent of esti
mated requirement. Unless the situa
tion improves many growers will suf
fer serious losses.
Fresh fruit prices In eastern markets
nave been unstable auring August.
Generally, supplies of fruit have been
large, and price levels low, except
when artificial shortages have resulted
from temporary transportation embar
goes, rear snipmenis nave ueen large
and fairly profitable, until a recent
heavy movement of this fruit from Or
egon and Washington, as well as Cali
fornia, depressed prices in eastern
markets.
Trading in dried and canned fruits
has been light during the past month
The general trend of prices in eastern
markets has been downward, but on
the Pacific Coast, prices, with few ex
ceptions, nave remained at previous
levels.
September 1. the Lainornia prune
ana apricot growers announced open
ing prices for prunes of the 1922 crop.
The prices named were one-half to 1J
cents per pound higher than opening
prices in
After confirming advance sales, the
Association advanced prices one-fourth
cent per pound for all grades of pears
the talifornia Almond browers hx
change named opening prices on 1922
crop almonds during the second week
I of September. The 1922 prices were
slightly higher than the prices named
one year ago.
Shipments of citrus fruits from Cal
ifornia during August, 1922. were
smaller than during the same month a
year ago. Eastern markets were re
ported to be over-supplied with oranges
during the month and prices for this
fruit declined. Hot weather during
August created a strong demand for
lemons, available supplies in eastern
markets were small, and prices accord
ingly rose.
THE OLD HOME AINT WHAT
IT USED TO BE
I put in a new concrete foundation, added new porches,
rcshingled the old part, set in some new dormers, added a
bath room, built a new sleeping porch, put in a septic tank,
and then lay a cement walk around the house to the garage,
put in new floors, partitioned off part of the coal bin for my dog
"Hec," and just simply modernized the whole durned place.
After talking with Lumber Bill, I bought all of the ma
terial of him and got all of my ideas from the Tum-A-Lum
Free Plan Books.
Phone 4121. That's our self-starter.

D. C. Baker, of Parkdale, possesses
"the only toga-towel in captivity on
the Pacific Coast." Mr. Baker recent
ly sent some newspaper photographs of
the tega-towel costumes that have
been so popular on eastern beaches the
past summer to a brother-in-law who
is manager of a large cotton mill in
Oakland, Cailf. lie suggested that
the manufacturer was behind the
times and that he should supply the
west coast with this beach garment.
The brother-in-law immediately had
some made for his sample room and
dispatched one to Mr. Baker, writing
that it was the only specimen of its
kind in captivity west of the Hockies.
Not to be outdone Mr. Baker packed
the toga-towel to Eden Park on the
northwest base of Mount Hood when
he recently accompanied an explora
tion party or the Uregon Nature Lov
ers' Club. Mr. Baker, standing less
than a mile from permanent snow
fields, with his feet in one of the
beautiful mountain lakes, had his pic
ture taken.
