THE PRUNE CROP.
Practical Fruitgrowers' Remarks On the
Industry.
Wnltcr Lyon writes from Salem to
a Portlund paper: Prune-growing
attracted considerable attention in
this part of tho valley during the
past season. The crop was moio than
twlco us. largo us that of any pro
ceeding year; the mnrkct hus been
very good, and growers goucrully
rcnoit u profit from the busslncs.
When asked If he considered the
pruno business permanently estab
lished on u paying basis, a practical
grovvcr referred to tho remarks
made on the subject by II. II. Miller,
cx-prcsldcnt or the stuto ugrlcul
turul college, who said in part:
"The market prlco or u thing Is only
one side or the law or value, nnd be
fore we engage In the permanent pro
duction or anything llko prunes we
muHt. cxamlno the other, aud more
Important us well as tho morodllllcult
side or tho question; und that Is the
cost or production, Tho cost or pro
duction In this sen so Includes growing
curing, preparing und sondlng to
market.
"If the climatic und soil conditions
in France, Austria or any other
foreign country bo better for tho
production ot prunes than In this
country; If tho cost or labor Is also
permanently less, and tho cost or
transportation to murket no greater
than In this country, then It would be
roily for us to ongugo In tho business
unless the government provides u
protection by tarlll legislation.
"Tho consumption or prunes In this
country Increased 120,000,000 pounds In
tho four years from 181)1 to 181)5, und
tho pruno grower can look ror a much
greater consumption und a more cer
tain und steady market In tho future.
"It seems to bo settled, for vurloue
reasons, that no other section of this
country cun compolu with thoPaclllo
coast In pruno growing. Tho next
problem is, can wo compote with Cali
fornia? ir their cost or production
Is from ) to 1 cent u pound less than
ours, thonthoy will cvontuully kill tho
Industry lu Oregon, unless thomurkot
requires our crop In addition to tholrs
If It should cost 1 cent a pound more
to produco prunes In California than
In Oregon, cud tho miirkot required
tho California product In addition to
ours, there would bo an assurance
or profit to tho Oregon producor.
"It Is a grluyous mistake to eugugo
In production simply on an examina
tion of market rates. If tho elements
ut command Insure tho lowest cost or
production, then thoro need bo uo hes
itancy whatever In entering tho Hold
with confidence or success ir proper
attention Is given.
" Tha question Is constantly bolug
asked, 'Is thero notgre.it danger or
overproduction or prunes?' Tho ques
tion ror the pruuegrowor to determine
Is not, 'Will there bo an ovorpred no
tion?' but, 'Can I produco at nearest
tho lowest cost?' ir there Is tin over
production, thoso laboring under the
most exponslvo dllllcultles, und whose
cost or production Is along the higher
margin, will bo the ones who must
discontinue tho business. Tho whole
question or pruuoproduclug lu
Oregon must bo Mdved by those who
undertako it, through tho pmctlcul

THE HAWAIIAN COMMISSION, t'
Favors a Liberal Government of the
Islands,
A special to the Chicago Tribune
from Washington says: It is probable
that the report of tho Hawaiian
commission will favor a liberal form
of government ror the Island tnau has
generally been expected. The mem
bers have favorably considered a
proposition to glvo tho Islauds a rep
resentative in tho houa with u voto
In which regard he would rank with
tnc representatives, and not with tho
delegates from Arizona. New Mexico
und Cklohotua, who have tho
prlvelco of talking, but not tho
right of voting.
Tho government suggested ror the
Island will In all probability be an
advance on the present organized
territories, but. or pourse, will not
contemplate statehood. Scvcrul mem
bers or the commission go to the ex
tent or believing that Hawaii should
have representation in tho senate,
though probably without a voto. This
feature, however, may not appear In
tho report.
Tho distance or the Islands from
the Mat of government necessitates
tho granting of moro power for local
government than Is given to tho
present orgunlzed territories, but the
governor and other Important oillcera
will, of course, be appointed in
Washington. Hawaii having como
into the Union by treuty, und not by
conquest, thero will bo no military
government, as in the case of Porto
Rice and the Philippines, but a civil
power will be created from tho start.
In a general way the courts und
ordinary machinery uf tho fedcrul
government will be extended to tho
Islands without much alteration,
but provision will probably bo made
for a certain degree of local control
or taxation und expenditures.
.There will boa suffrage based upon
education und property qualifications,
aud tho members or tho commission
believe they have ovolycd a system
or colonial government which will
reserve full power to the president and
congress, and at tho same time prove
sufficiently clastic to give tho govern
ing clasfes In tho Island control of
local Improvomctjtsand tho direction
or colonial affulrs.
When the Hawaiian commission
left this country tho president In
structed them to kcop In mind
tho possessions acquired by tho war,
und the government which will oc
recommended ror tho Hawaiian
Islunds will serve as u model ror that
or the Philippines and Porto Rice.
