to the fact that at Mt. Angel and Seotts

amounted to 32 per cent over 1900.
Judge Rcott 'also spoke ff' the fact
that but few men could build good
roats because they did not have the
knowledge necessary ' for the proper di
rection of the-work. He also spoke of
the etfort to secure government aid lor
roatls, especially said that he. felt , it
worth while . for the voter to consider
whether he valued a man who was
willing to spend some of his own mon
ey for . the; purpose of learning how to
serve the electors of the county. ' j
Told of how the county had come out
of its indebtedness, and had money in
hhnd for work to be done and for sal
aries to be paid in the future. He also
spoke for Mr. I. C. Needham, as a cap
able, honest, official, , and -referring to
Mr. ,W. J. Culver said it wduld be good
for 'Marion county to 'have more men

-Mr. Huckestein was the next man on
the program, who spoke of the Republi
can .ticket as having thereon candidates
whose private eharaeter is above re
proach, but proceeded to attack Mr.
Kay. ' He told a story, which" seems to
be one of Mr. Huckestein 's great draw
ing cards. ; Mr. Huckestein says Mr.
Kay hss his record. He 'therefore pro
ceeded to attack again Mr. Kay on the
corporation law question, pusing his
statement on the fact that Mr. Kay had
not voted for the Davey bill, and also,
how the Harris bill came up, and: Mr.
Kay did not support it. lie admitted
that Mr. Kay had supported, the Eddy
law.; He then spoke of the fact, that
the corporations pa-- taxes, but; he es
pecially' was after the other corpora
tions, such as telegraph', telephone and
railroad corporations. He then attack
ed that wonderful Democrat, Jos. Teal,
calling poor Joe a "corporation law

as is the usual Democratic relaim. He
again spoke of F. X. Mattbieu and otht
er candidates of bisj party. Question:
"If corporations don't pay dbuble tax
ation f"
He read a paper someone read before
some tax congress saying how much
assessments liad been increasefl under
this open air franchise proposition, but
did not say the proposition was just.
The questioner asked if the proposition
was fight, admitted that local corpora-;
tions paid large taxes, Uut still it was
right to howl for a tax on corporations.
r. Corby was then called put aqd
proceeded to object to the legislative
attack on the county court proposition,
but he would now talk on the question
of corporations to help his friend Huck
estein. Said it was a part of their bus
inew to try the. Republican ease also.
Said for a long' time in Oregon, fran
chises had been granted without taking
into consideration the. state. Said these
corporations had given away rights.
Did not say that Oregon's principal de
velopment was owing to its railroad,
tebgraph and telephone lines. . -
-Then referred briefly to Judge Scott,
and ' said' while he did not think h
would be able to elect Judge Scott the
latter might help to . elect him.' , He
again insisted that the county court
had the power to - levy a road assess
ment, and also each' road district could
assess itself. The county court, he
claimed, had no right to u money in
any other way or other districts. He
said Scott had leen studying the road
question at 100 per. month. Was will
ing to go among and stand as one of
the mossbacks. - Denied that, he ;4 was
opposed to people giving money for
couniy roads, but that he was opposed
to the present system of raising sub
scriptions. He worried a good deal be
cause the peoole from all over t lye

cot out of the Eddy bill, and spoke of
the fact' that a similar law to the pro
posed Harris and Davey bills ' was be-
fore the IT. S. courts at the time it was
before thei legislative assembly. It
was considered 'best therefore to await
the action of the courts to see whether

the yield this year will pe even greater
Uian the large crop of last season, bas

said yesterday that thus far the' vines
have been growing nelv, . and under

crop than a-vear ago. .The acreage he
estimates to bV about 4 per cent great
er and the yield per acre fully as large.
. "f or the state at large, it is estimat
ed that.' wit hout some adversity, the
crop will be approximately 3000 bales
larger-than last year, when the produc
tion was 35,000 bales. Similar prospec
tive increases are estimated for the en
tire Pacific coast, the Oregon yield be

PRUNES IN ILLINOIS.
Found'a Market Could Easily Be Culti
' rated Believes Two Eastern states
VWould Consume Entire Crop If uie.
Proses. Were Properly Advertised
Small Packages Popnlar in Cities.
.Chester Tarvin, a prune grower from
the r Rosedale - district, arrived in the
eity4 yesterday ' from a" three , months'
trip in the-East, selling Oregon prunes,
and exerting himself to advertise the
Pheasant brand for the benefit of him
self and other prune growers in future.
Mr. Parvin tecame discouraged during
the wiiter," on account of the low prices
and slow, market 'for prunes, and with
drew his crop of aiout 60,000 pounds
from the 'Willamette Valley: Prune As
sociation warehouse, first naving them
carefully processed in 10 and 25-pound
boxes.- "lie then went to Illinois to the
home of relatives, and succeeded in
selling liis entire crop in two counties,
all, with the exception of 5000 pounds
going to retail dealers and consumers
direct. ; . r. " - ;-
Mr. Parvin is of the opinion that he
has learned valuable lessons, which
should be of profit to the growers in
the future. Speaking of his trip, he
said; "At the present time prices are
extremely V low, beeause of the urgent
unloading of Oregon ', and California
prunes. , I , find large, stocks are being
bought by leaelers for the future, who
place them on the market as fast as
possible,' and will probably be compell
ed ' to carry some oyer till next year.
It is a mistaken idea, that the whole
sale merchant i waiting a- great profit.
He. is only making a iair profit, and is
selling to the -retaiters at 5 to 5Vi cents, I
or !bou." the same pTices barged by J
growers lastfall.The retailer is sap
ping the life outtof "the -business by
selling at from 8x cents to 12 cents
per pound, thus, makinw an -en.Tfflou
profit, and decreasing the ales."
'c Test. Wan Satisfactory.
While 1 in " Chieago. I investigated,
and drujnmers rnformeff'rie "they were
not atfeiupiing'td sVflT 'OYegon prunes,
their, ordc.rs ieing to sell Stnta Claras.
I tried to find Oregon prunes m fifteen
towns jn Illinois, and foun them in
only one, but when I left all were sell
ing Oregon prunes,-" and where they or
dered a-feW;. hundxed pouikds to begin,
were desirous : of placing large orders
for the'next crop,Wwel pleased were
they. One. merchant said he was al-waj-s
prejudiced against Oregon prunes
but after a trial grcatlv1 preferred them
to Santa Claras.?' s
Mr. Pariin took be field and can
vassed, .both among, fity a nd , country
residents, and among retail merchants,
and inmany' placcfc found prejudice,
which he could only remove by a dem
onstration buying cream and serving
the cooked fruit. (He invariahy made
many -friends among' the, residents of
!he cities by this method. -r and 1 t.oik;

have'sold his'crop:witfr mucb less trou
ble but devoted two months to distrib
uting the fruit in 'different centers; and
advertising for a futur market. At
every point he, distributed adveirtiaing
matter, both descriptive of the Oregon
prune and .recipes for cookiug.. .
Trip Was Profitable.
' '"Those buyers will, all be permanent
customers,';- said, he "and in several
cities I was urged oi return next year,
and was assured of large -orders. J be
lieve it is. the only salvation for Ore
gon prune growers ia future, and with
sufficient advertising two states such as
Illinois would use all the prunes grown
4n the Northwest."
" . Mr. .Parvin is well-satisfied with his
trip because it paid well, the fruit sell
ing for a price which, paid him a hand
home prof it. over the. price to be obtain
ed at home, and he .now believes he -has
a permanent market. . He- claims to
jet .to- meet a man. who. dos not prefer
Oregon Italian prunes to anv. he hss
ever- eaten,, after giving them a fair
test.
Pack Prunes in .Small Cartons. .
Another . lesson learned by the trip
was that pruneanmst be packed in
small package. lie-- did not have
enough 10-nonnd : boxes and expects' to
pack a great portion . next year ia
5-pound cartons especially for city
trade.. For country ipeople .the 10 and
25-pound boxes are all riaht.
- . The Silver prune-goes' into the East
ern market as Oregon Sweets and re
tails at 1.) cents per pound, while the
retailer pays 12 cents, and'the grower
in Oregon receives no more than for
other' prunes. . Mrr Pirvin next year
expects to, pack "Oregon Sweets' in
5-pound cartons and place them direct
ly in the hands of the Eastern retailer.

lots of political lies will be nailed. "
