The Willamette Valley Prune limw
ers Assiciation, through its directors,
has negotiated and closed up deals
with eastern firms which praetieally
dispose of all the fruit grown by the
niembt-rs, of the Association and will
amount to about-' twenty car loads.
The Association has acotuplishci a
great deal in securing such prices, as
it hs been aide to command this year.
The price paid for the fruit sold inakes
this year's output the most remunera
tive fruit crop that has been raised
by the meuilers of this organization,
and they are loud in praise of the work
i he Association h-a-t accomplished. u
so successfully disposing of their fruit.
The fruit sold will bring the growers
i little over 4',4 cents per pound.
The California Fruit Growers have
n. Hired a price for their product, which
has a very favorable influence cu
the market for Oregon fruit. - The
Oregon prune is much larger th:tu that
grown in California and the demand
for larse prunes is always strong, but
esjiecially is it so this year from .the
fact that there Is au immense crop of
fruit in California, but it in very small.
There will probably be no ;;is to -I'.is

4ds to 5s is very light ami williuot

The directors of the California Cured
Fruit Association relieved the sus
pense of the prune growers and the
Kastern distributors yesterday after
noon, by naming opening prices for
prunes. The directors have lieett en
gaged at tliis unenviable task for the
p.-ist week or more, and it is a ma iter
for coiigratuiatiou that they have seen
treir way d ar to a basic price so
high as :i cents for the four sizes.
There are growers: perhaps, who have
expected a higher price, bur certainly
none who are familiar with the situa
tion could have done so. Had the as
sotialiou not ben organised, it is al
most certaiti that prices would have
been down to 'J'i: or even 2 cents, as
California is liarvesiing a large crop

"Coming down front the cloud In a

down, alight quietly- and awake, and
you're not hurt. Well, that's' the par

tin danger. A parachute can le guid

can't steer a-balloon. To guide .a par
achute out oT harm's way a praetlei'd
hand can t ID. It one way or the other,
spill out air, and lints work It to where
you want to land, or to avoid water,
trees, chimney s or : church spires. Cir
cus ascensions "are generally made Iu
the evening, when the sun goes down
the wind goes down. The balloon then
shoots Into' the air and the parachute
drops back on the -circus lot, not far

A ha Toon Is made of If muslin an I
