AND THE PRICES REASONABLE.
TALKS WITH GROWERS.
From Saturday's. Dally.)
There la a. good . deal of activity In
the prune market this week, and prune
men are not backward about talking.
Such information as could be gathered
from dealers and growers In and around1
Salem yesterday, is encouraging,
' The i Association is handling a
large number of the prunes grown in
this vicinity," and yesterday sent oirt
three more loaded ' cars consigned to
countries across the Atlantic "There
is little variation in the price, it being
still aIout 2 3-4c for 30's, lower grades
being quoted at 2 to 2xjc. The demand,
however, is strong, and shippers claim
to have many large., orders ahead
which cannot be filled for weeks.
R. D. Teter, of Rosedale, has Just fin
ished picking his 25-acre croj, and had
several teams engaged ' yesterday in
hauling it to the packing house. He
reports a fine quality, and feels well
satisfied with the prospects for the sale
at a fair profit, of his entire crop.
Bruce Cunningham, of Liberty, who
has one of the largest orchards In that
section, was hauling his crop, in, yes
terday. ' He had about 70,000 pounds
this year, which he sold in July to W.
C. TUJron, realizing 4 cents net for
30's, with cent off on sizes. Mr. Cun
ningham finished picking last Monday,
and says he entire crop was harvested
without the loss of a .dozen bushels. :

working in a sawmill and his son is

Mr. Shuck owned and conducted a

and flouting mill, was the postmaster;
In fact has. for years past, been the
political, religious and social light of
the community, and was supposed to
'have been quite wealthy, and his con

completely by surprise and no one at

About eight or ten years ago the com
munity set to work, under the leader
ship of Mr. Shuck, who was the prime
mover and promoter of all public ven
tures, and by giving festivals, enter
tainments, and by subscriptions,
succeeded in erecting a church upon a
portion of Mr. Shuck's land M a cost
of about $800, an.l funiluhed it com
pletely. Mr. Shuck-promised to deed
the land upon which the buildlng'stood,
to the church, but ,he neglected to do
so. and it has been learned the prop
erty is all mortgaged. The church Is
Christian in denomination, but no sect
has been excluded from the use of it,
andt has been used for all kinds of
religious services and entertainments.
Before Mr. Shuck left he gave all of
the furfikure and fixtures of tht? church

Mr. Shuck's liabilities are estimated
at between J 12.000 and $15,000, and his
assets fall far short of enough to liqui
date the indebtedness. . There Is much

have ventured the suggestion that Mr,
Shuck , took a. considerable amount of
money with him.

(From Saturday's Dally.)
Prosecuting Attorney Sam White, of
Baker City, chairman of the State
Democratic Central Committee, is in
Salem' for the week, havlntr come over
Monday to attend some cases before
the Supreme Court. He has been stop
ping at the Cottace Hotel, where a
reporter found hint yesterday after
noon. . "
Mr. White Is a "good roals" enthul-
at, and speaking on the subject of
good roads In Oregon, said:
"Oregon 'certainly needs g.od roads

In the way -of Improvement. This Is a
matter that all the citizens in the state
are interested In, and the matter should
be taken up and pushed vigorously.
Asked as to how the project could
best be accomplished, he replied:
"In my opinion every one of the
prisoners In the State Penitentiary
should be put upon the roads. : They
could he worked In this manner and
not Come In competition with free
labor. This proposition applies to
prisoners ,in county Jails as jwell as
those in the State Penitentiary and
they might be kept In camps during at
least a portion of the year, and the ex
pense of keeping them so employed on
the country roasts would be little, if
any, greater than the cost under pres
ent conditions.
Speaking further concerning Import
ant State matters, 'he safd he thought
the next Legislature should, tak? t-r
to provide an asylum for' the Wind,
and also for a girl's reformatory.
nearly all of the other states have such
institutions, and Oregon should have

Becoming a little more familiar, the
reporter asked Mr. White a few ques
tions concerning state appointments to
be made by the new Governor. '
He SAld that as chairman of the Dem

had been approached by a few candi
dates, but had not thought best to in
dorse any one. and did not Intend to
do so;' th3t h was interested . princi
pally in seeing a thoroughly successful
administration, and that Mr. Chamber
lain would find plenty of good men and
appoint none other. He denied that Le

THE DOCTORS
HAVE UNITED
They Qrf-anlzed a Medical So

Officers
THE OBJECTS OF THE UNION ARE
TO CULTIVATE! THE KCIENCE OF
MEDICINE AND SURGERY AND
FOR ADVANCEMENT OF THE
PROFESSION.
(From Sunday's Dally.)
A meeting of the physicians of Salem
was held last night In the lecture room
of the Medical Department of Wil
lamette University, In the Patton
block, for the purpose of effecting an
organization, toJte known, as the Ma
rion County Medical Society.
This. matter has been under consid
e rat ion for some time, but had not ta
ken form until last night, when a per
manent organization was effected and
officer Installed.
The object of this Society Is:
The cultivation, of the science of
medicine and surgery; the advance
ment of the c haracter and honor of. the
medlc-al profession, the elevation of
the standard of medical education; the
Promotion of public health; the fur
thering of union and harmony among
Its members.
'The buying and leasing of real es
tate, and the construction thereon of
buildings suitable to the uses of the
Society, and the Society wil le guided
by the code of ethics of the American
Medical Association.!
The meeting lat n'uht was" an en

THE HAGUE COURT.
; ' , . . I
AT LAST IT HAS A CASE TIIE
UNITED STATES V
MEXI
(From Sunday's Dally.)
At last the. International Arbitration
Court, thejonly tangible outcome of the
Peace Congress of The Hague, has a
case before It for adjudication. It Is
not so much the case Itself, but the fact
that a case has been brought before It,
that is significant. For a year and
half the high court of arbitration has
been duly .constituted, ready to hoar
and pass upon the disputes of nations.
but no cases . were submitted to it.
There wo?om danger that Its very
existence might be forgotten.
Quite ia accord with the liberal spirit
of this continent. It has fallen to two
American nations, Mexico and the
United States, to make the first appeal
to The Hague tribunal. The case sub
mitted, that of the -Plus Fund." is a
very pretty quarrel from every legal
point of view, -and it Is not so Impor
tant but that the decision -may be ac
cepted without any strain upon the
loyalty of either nation. This prom
ises that the first aesslon will be of
considerable Interest and that the
udges will have the great advantage
proceeding Imperturbably without
regard to ulterior embarrassments.
for the "Plu Fund, Its story Is
a curious one. Originally a private
benefaction, it was administered by
the JesuU missionaries of California
from 16971 1767. After the expulsion
of the Jesuits R was transferred to the
Franciscans, Trom whom the newborn
Mexican republic took It, guaranteeing
however, by way of Indemnity, the
payment In perpetuity of 6 per cent on
the capital to the (Khurch authorities.
"Perpetuity" and the payment stopped
abruptly with the cession of California
to the United States, and now the
church in California suesMhe Mexican
Government for . arrears if Interest
amounting to about 11,000,00
Certainly a" case which Involves three
changes of cuo4y and one Of sov
ereignty, should put the Jurists fThe
Hague court on their metal, but they
are doing more than to . settle a
oulsy complicated case In equity. The
sre passing upon the first case ever
presented to a permanent international
tribunal, and. It Is confidently believed.
setting In motion the machinery of a
high court of arbitration whose rulings
will be an important factor In conserv
ing the world's peace.

Your correHMndent "Suhurb.-in" his
seen fit to publHh my nume n one
who advocates taking in 'all,, the stih-
urbsi In this he Is mistttkenr'as I have
hereto always cipfHuirtd taking In tetrl-
tory until -the city h:d df'OKnnt rated "
that it could gunrantet a jpxtd e'umin-
Ical administration of Its utTafra. That
has been, demonstrated, and 1 am not
opposed to taking In nre territory If
R can ba- shown that t Is a giNHl busi

and pay for them, and pay no city
taxes. I rent suburban blocks" and
grow strawberries for the cWy market
and, may put in a dairy and potato
farm, paying a low rent for the land,
because In the absence of Improve,
ments it fan not-be sold for building
kits. One can get suburban lands for
keeping up the fences, nnd It Is a drug
on the market. I have no kick coming
if my home la not taken into thc city, 1
although. I believe all suburban prop
erty would be brought into better mar
ket and would be more rapidly Improv
ed If it were taken into the city. We
carry low rate Insurance In the Farm
ers' Mutual Insurance Company, If we
Ion t have any fire protection. If yuii
do not take In some of the milnirlm nn.t
make street Improvements they will ro
back Into farming lands, and that
would probably suit some popl
I am not advocating a board Of
health, though If one la etatUhd th
nMary Jaws connected therewith, " If
reasonable, should be obeyed by nil
cltlxns. Our city could be built on a
mri. generous plan and Its buunduriM
letter defined than Ihey are at pres
ent. It should be laid off In the form
of a large, beautiful square with nil
the streeta put through and 'vera I fine
boulevards bulM. A boulevard could le
bult south to Rural avenuo nnd Hi"
value of property on both sides en
hanced.

Another boulevard should be built
toward the Fair Grounds snd another
one east to th city limits. That
would make our cHy beautiful and givo
employment to labor. One of your cor-
nespondents soys the suburbs would'
cost more for Improvements than they
would bring to the cjty In Ixxhi.
Thla ouxht to be- an argument for
the suburban ptjr1 jr owner to com
nto ( city. If, uticb-r expansion, I
pay ten dollars additional tax- and you
spend fifjeen dollars Improving ty
prorriy, I am the gainer. The truth
is. a- great Jnany of. us suburhanites
don't want to make any Improvements.
1 will say that fn thn newspnper bn-L-
ness what burls me most; is to havft
this city classed among towns of about
four thousand, when It might as w.ll
be listed as a city Of ten thousand, or
elve thousand, or . fifteen thousand.
then I could get twice as much
foreign advertising and all bnMnein "
men "would feel the same advaritaa
accruing from the fact of Salem having
larger population. The banker, th
blll-postefi the city Itself, would drlvo
better bargains and mak more money
with twice the population. This may
be over-estimated, but I notice all live
towns like to be quoted as having all
the population possible. This does not
appeal to the man who has no public:
pride, or who sinks It under some self -
lshf theory or short-sighted personal
advantage. But' It ought to appeal tf
the business - man and o the l cborer. '
But let all these matters be fully can
vassed before the committees who am
at work on amendments to the char
ter. I shall not cry if I am taken Inf.
the rlty. and shall not die If I am leftr
Jut. Those who :ppote extension
