GRAIN BAOS FIRMER Portland, Ore., July 22. The graiu bag market is becoming more active and at the same time appears to be gaining in strength. Inquiries have been in creasing lately and a few sales of good sir.e have been reported. Farmers as a class have held back their purchases until the eleventh hour, and the belated demand, in the opinion of dealers, can have no other effect than to strengthen prices inasmuch as the statistical po sition of the market has not improved. The supply of bags for the coming crop is practically all in hand and the same shortage that was figured out early in the season still exists. If anything it has been increased as crop estimates have been enlarged. The one uncertain factor in the situation is tho bulk ship- Woodland Team Is No Longer Member of Inter-City League Camas, Wash., late yesterdny after noon took over the franchise of the Woodland team of the Inter-City Base, ball league. No longer will the clubs of the Inter city circuit have an oasis where they can rest up and doctor up their wounds. The deal has been brewing for the past fortnight, although President Fred Norman Bay, of the semi-professional organization, has kept it to himself. Late yesterday afternoon Manager Archibald Blair, of Camas; Owner E. E. Dale, of Woodland, and President Bay held a secret conference in the latetr's office, 270 Fourth street, upon the con clusion of which it was announced that the franchise officially had been trans ferred.

There must be exact precision of work manship, standnrds of quality must be maintained to the higirpst degree. "In producing the Maxwell car, the endeavor is to accomplish two things, namely, the perfection of the car, and development of our manufacturing process to eliminate waste in mater ials, Inbor nnd money." " Kvery part is so made interchange able. It must fit into is place without strain, ft must be right. Maxwell engineers make suro of the design, the strength of tho materials used tor each one of the parts, nnd then adhere absolutely to the standard which they hive set for themselves. This is what is mennt by the term standardization as applied to the manufacture of Max well cars. "And If you will study the most successful concerns von will find that every one is folliwing tiiis plan.

The extent to which this movement will affect the .supply and market remains to be seen.

IANS WILL Arrange for Excursion to Marshfield, and Every boUy's Going The Cherrians are to have a real hon est -to-gooduess revival in spirit. At the meeting last eveniug, called to consider the Marshfield excursion, the feeling was manifest. Kino- Bias Deckebnch said he was not especially proud that ins cuouris. Known as tne liveliest boosters in the valley had made such a poor showing Cherry 'fair day. Charles L. Dick, one of the eihortera for a new spirit, wanted to know if the Cherrians were dead, or just sleeping. For the great baby parade on Cherry fair day, ull he could muster as guards for the baby parade was eight Cher rians out of the hundred or more in the city. "I think a lot of ginger is neces sary," said Mr. Dick. "Let's set busy and have a great picnic at Marshfield ana advertise it." Hal D. Patton, another exhorter for more ginger nnd get-up among the Cherrians, thought the members should show more interest in everything. "Let's make this excursion a howling success, or just quit," he said. Some Preliminaries. With these few preliminary remarks tendifig to arouse the spirit of tho mem bers, everybody nt once showed a won derful revival of the days when the Cherrians did things. The excursion to Marshfield is not only to be a Cherrian excursion, but the spirit was present to mnko it one of the biggest events of the year. With other excursionists at Marshfield, it was evident that Sa lem would have to make a big showing. W.n. !. i t. "... " (suvcinor iiuu nis puny, taere was a feeling that Sulem should be well represented and do things up right dur ing the one day and two nights spent nt Marshfield. Of course, traveling around and car rying a bnod like the Cherrian, costs money ana in order to raise pnrt of the sum necessary, it was decided to give a grand picnic at the fair grounds Thurs day afternoon and evening, July 27, to which the whole town will be invited. The program includes a big dinner to be served at the fair grounds restau rant. After the dinner at 6 o'clock, a jitney dance will be given, the music to be furnished by the Cherrian band. This picnic and dance is to be a city affair and the money received will be applied to paying the expenses of the band to Marshfield, Leave Friday, AngitBt 25. Tho excursion to Marshfield will leave Salem Friday morning, August 25. about St o'clock, stopping at Dallas 15 minutes. Independence 15 minutes, Cor vullis 45 minutes and Eugene ,10 min utes. The special will arrive in Marsh field Friday evening nbout fi o'clock. The return will he made by tho main line, leaving Marshfield Sunday morn ing, giving the excursionists the benefit of two daylight trips through the won derful scenic country between Coos Bay nnd Eugene. The Marshfield Commercial club promises the excursionists things to ent about like this: clams, crabs, razor clams, rock oysters, mussels, halibut, ling cod, torn end, red snnpper, sturgeon, salmon and whale. The club also pro poses to do the right thing in entertain ing the governor and Cherrians on their first visit to the Coos Bay country. From now on, with the prospects of the big three day excursion and the picnic nt the fair grounds, with the ginger-up meeting of last evening, the opinion hns been expressed that Chns. L. Dick will not feel cnlled on to nsk whether the Cherriuus nre dead or sleep ing. Beginning next Wednesday even ing, regular drills will be held to bring the organization once more into shape for a public appearance. Committees nre already working nnd the indications are that the Cherrians will properly represent the Capital City on Marshfield day. August 20.

THE MARKETS The following prices for fruit and vegetables are those asked by the wholesaler of the retailer, and not what is paid to the producer. All other prices 'are those paid the Sroducer. Corrections are made ally. New hay will not be on the market for a week or two. The recent rains did considerable damage and even when it is baled and put in marketable con dition, the price will vary considerably. This is the opinion of one of the oldest commission men in the city. Hay cut within tne last tew days is up to stand ard, but it will be two weeks before this is baled and put on the. market. Until then, there will hardly be any es tablished hay market. ine wheat market is firm, although no changes have been made locally. drams.
