A visit to the fa mous Astoria salmou packing plants and a monster clam bake at Seaside were on the program. Astoria lodge No. G, plan ned a salmon barbecue on the munici pal wharf. Minneapolis boosters, it was learned today, were largely responsible for the Pythians selecting Detroit ns their next supreme lodge city. Minneapolis is af ter the 192U convention. Detroit was also gunning for it, When the time came to decide, the Mincnapolis sup porters placed Detroit in nomination for 1918 and after some lively cam paigning put it over. This left the field practically clear for Minneapolis iu 1920. The Pythian Sisters supremo temple biennial has adjourned sine die. New officers were installed at a night ses sion. They are: Mrs. Lilly Samuels, Oakland, supreme chief; Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchinson, Woodfords, Maine, supreme senior; Mrs. Minnie Bunting, Sapulpa, Okla., supreme junior; Mrs. Jennie R. Brown, l'nlntka, Flu., supreme manager; M. Josie Nelson, Union City, Iud., su preme mistress of records and corres pondence; Alice M. Boylan, Austin, Minn., supreme mistress or finances; Mrs. Lucia McCuge, Medicine Lodge, Kan., supreme protector; Mrs. Lucie F. Muiisiu, Newburg, N.Y., supreme guard. The sisters also, named Detroit for their 1918 convention. tnined shull be deemed to apply to true tion engines, road, rollers, fire wagons and fire engines. (General Laws of Oregon, 1811, page 278). Dnmngcs tor Jegliocnce Vthcro a person or property are injured by the negligent running of an automobile, the owner and the chauffeur, or both, are liuble for damages, but the owner lsj-o sponsible for the net of his chauffeur only when such act is done iu the course of his employ-incut. Therefore, if the chauffeur should take the machine out, without the consent or knowledge of the owner, n ml at a tune when he was pro hibited from taking it out, the owner would not be responsible, for the chauf feur would not be acting at such time in the course of his employment. The own er is not responsible for the act of a borrower of his machine. But the owner is responsible for the act of a friend who may be driving for him, where the accident is caused by the carelessness negligence, or the incompetence of such trieud. If ft person other than the owner has actual control of the machine, and employs the chauffeur at the time of the accident, he, and not the owner, is responsible for damages. hat is Negligence hat acts on the part of tho persou operating n ma chine will constitute negligence depend.) upon the peculiar circumstances of each case. If the operator fails or refuses to do what the law requires, in the op eration of his machine, this of itself will constitute negligence, or if he fails to observe a degree of enro on the streets or highways which an ordinary prudent man would be expected to observe, this would be negligence on his part for which he will be liuble. In all cases, however, it is for the jury to say wheth er the operator was in fact negligent, or wneiuer ino person receiving nil injury was himself careless and contributed to his own hurt. Relation Between Employer and ( nauf feur The acts of the chauffeur, iu operating an automobile, within the authority of his employment, are the acts of a servant. The relation of mas ter and servant exists between the own er and employee, and in operating the machine tho chauffeur is the agent ot the employer, and the emplover Is re sponsible for the acta of his agent. In civil actions, the person Injured mny buc the chauffeur or the owner, or both, for damages. (Continued next Snturdey.) Prune Crop Estimated at 40,000,000 Pounds Kstimntca on the total yield of prunes in the Pacific Northwest place the total yield at from 3.,000,000 to 40,000,000 pounds. Reports from Marion, Polk and Yamhill counties in dicate a good crop of fair quality. The rains earlier ia the season seem to have had no injurious effects, but In the opinion of some growers have been Of benefit. If favorable conditions coatinuo to prevail, which means prin cipally that if late rains do not inter fere with, development and harvest, firune growers of this sectiou will have ittle cause for complaint. Market couditious are reported as good. A circular from the California Growers' Information bureau anys: - "The demand for Pacific Northwest prunes has been good and 30 to 35 per cent of the crop of the Northwest has been sold to date at or around a 5c basis. Eastern buyers are -still dis posed to withhold' orders for California prunes until they are very sure that there is no chance to purchase them at less than present prices. It is esti mated that New York has placed or dera for less than 20 per cent of Its usual requirements. BusinpsM condi tions throughout the country are ex cellent. Sugar and other food prod ucts are high, contracts for trans Atlantic freight havo . recently been executed at rates 50 per cent less than what they were a short time ago, and there ar "many other good reasons why prunes should bring good prices. On the other hand, the export situation is complicated. England will take for distribution through the trade only one-half the quantity she took last year and this half must be taken with many restrictions aud at prices ap proved bv the London Board of Trade. It is understood by some, however, MORE FLAX TROUBLE CAUSEDW WEEDS State Refusing to Pull Flax Where Weeds Predominate Causes Protest The decision of the state board of control not to pull any field of flax in which weeds and wild oats show to the extent of 50 per cent has resulted iu a protest from the flax growers, thus adding another feature to the several which have already attracted so much attention to the present flax harvest. The following letter from McXary & MeXary, attorneys of this city, was received by the board of control this morning: "At the behest of the Middlegrove Flax Growers' association of this county, acting through a special com mittee composed of S. B. Hill, II. C Fletcher and (.'. C. Russell, we desire to direct your attention to the contract made by you on behalf of the state of Oregon with the several flax growers. "The growers represent that they hnve performed faithfully every pro vision of the contract, which; you will recall contains nmong other covenants the following: 'The title to the seed and flax from the time it begins to grow shall remain iu the state.' Also that ' the state agrees, at the proper time mid under the direction of its of ficers, to pull the flax, tie in suitable sheaves for handling and shock it.' " While the board of control has not acted on the matter officially, yet many of the growers have been in formed by parties claiming to represent the state that the flax would not be pulled and shocked as provided in the contract. ' Consequently, the growers find themselves in this unfortunate and most unusual situation that the state has title to the flax by virtue of the contract, which precludes the grow ers, from disposing' of the crop nud ul the same time the state refuses to harvest the flax, as specified it should in the agreement. These growers feel, and we havo no reason to doubt, the desire of the board to bo absolutely fair both to the growers and to the state of Oregon, and therefore they in sist that the contract be carried out and that tho flax be pulled by the stute, and if the harvest shows the presence of any foreign growth, thnt the segregation be made by the state and that the growers be paid for the actual flax growu and harvested at the rate per ton snecified in the con tract. , "On behalf of the growers we respectfully request that the bonrd give this letter, and the proposition herein contained, your very enrliest at tention to the end that no loss be suf fered cither bv the state or the grow ers, and thnt the respective rights of all may be carefully subserved." The matter has been referred to the attorney general. thnt the dried fruits used by the British government are not to be in cluded in the 50 per cent imports per mitted under the board of trada regu lations. Furthermore, England has re voked the declaration of London, which means she will attempt at least to keen all Drunes out of the Scandi navian countries, except those which aetunllv will be consumed in those countries. "if basis prices of ,r 1-2 cents or better are to be realized for the 1918 crop, the growers must see to it that the market be uot swamped by put ting lurge blocks of prunes on It at any one time. If prunes are to bring reiiiuneiatiive prices, me uispuoni the crop must be controlled. The formation of local pools will perhaps do something toward controlling the sale of prunes. Those growers who can afford to hold their goods should do so, while those who must sell should sell gradually. Within the past few days packers' offers to the growers hove receded from 5 1-4 to 5 12 cents bases to around 5 cents. ENORMOUS DEMAND FOR MAXWELL CARS "We are doinr; the best we can demand is greater than we could an ticipate." This ia the message that Halvorsen & Burns, local dealers for tho Maxwell Nfotor Company, Inc., received from Mr. Flanders, the President of the company, last week, in answer to a de mand that, shipment of cars be rushed "We thought we knew the public, thought that we could tell just exact ly what the denuind would be and we planned to meet that figure. But the result has been far greater than we ever dnrod to hope for. We havo a new ide of the popularity of the Maxwell far. The Maxwell was ft remarkable value at the old price. Now. with the price reduced to ."5, it is not sur prising that wn cannot keep up with the demand.

Attendance Has Been 3,050, This Not Including Sunday Visitors The following is a report of thH"" activities of the Albert Park Play grounds by Miss Elizabeth A. Schult?. and C- O. Ostrnnder who have been in charge since the playgrounds were opened June 26. The report is submit ted to.the Committee of playgrounds of the city council. There has been an attendance of three thousand and fifty persons, which includes all ages but does not include the attendance on Sundays or in the evenings when the grounds have been in charge of your committee. This is the couut between the hours of 11 o'clock and 5:30 o'clock, tfcinsiderlng the cold weather we have had, we con sider this a remarkable attendance. There has been a large number of older boys and girls present nnd while some visitors hnve criticised this fact, we feel they have shown the younger children great consideration and kindly assistance and that there is room for all. We also know that there could not be a better place for the older children. We arc. especially grateful for the ready compliance in matters of dis cipline. At no time has it been neces sary to send anyone from the grounds or has anyone refused to obey or com ply with any requests that have been made. We have had no trouble from disoositions frequently known as the bullying type. There has been one in stance of thieving and we nope to ger this matter straightened out soon. Children have furnished their own material for hand work. This is bound to make them appreciate their work more than if they get. everything for nothing, ns is the case in most all play grounds where all material Is furnished free. Materials used nave not Deeu expensive nnd in fact some of the work has required material which had served its original , purpose. This is true of the doll furniture made of dis carded pasteboard boxes. Many of the children tell of furnishing their playhouse complete and this is one of the first steps toward the making of a homeninker. Boats, lavendar sticks and twig dolls have claimed many hours of their time, both at home and on the playground. Bend work will be the next work. Afanv -children have requested a "Doll Carriage Parade'' and it is our intention to conduct this, together with a Doll Day in the near future. We are especially indebted to the Y. M. .('. A. for a volley ball, to the Salem Water company who will turnish free of charge, water on on adjacent lot; to the city health and police of rtni.tla for thnir friendly cooperation; to Misses Beatrice Walton and Ruth Mnnnr who tell stories to the children on Wednesday and Saturday after noons; to Miss Oeuevieve Fiaz.ier who oivpn the oirls instruction in swr miller; to JliSS Klltn .lones lor net (line work nnd Miss Ruth Soliultz for instructions in the use of garden lavendar; to Lawrence Gage for his services ns referee; to the American and Fillipino boys for their assistance and many courtesies and the many visitors for their friendly criticisms and kindlv interest. The many family picnic parties evi dence the fact that parents arc much , I interested in the recreation of tneir children. , . . There have been interested visitors from Seattle, Portland, nnd Eastern poiuts, as well as some from the coun try just outside of Salem. These peo ple express themselves as never having been in a more delightful plnypnrk. Local visitors express gratitude and the feeling that maintaining such a park is not - n unnecessary luxury for Salem children but that bu actual need has been met.

Cement Workers Riot. La Salle, III., Aug. 5. DespiU se rious rieting here last night, following the departure of state troops, sent there to keep order during the cement work ers' strike, city officials today declared no attempt would be made to have the militia recalled. "We can handle, the situation," one official said. The rioting broke out early last night when half a dozen special deputies at the Oglesby plant started for town. They were met by strikers who hurled bricks at them. As the deputies fled shots were exchanged and two depu ties were hit. Their injuries were not serious. Whon Mayor Morrison of Oglesby, at tempted to interfere, the strikers forced him to flee, stoning him all the way to his home. . It Is Up to the Boss. Philadelphia, Pa., 4.ug. 5.

Mrs. Abbey Scott Buker, of tho Congressi nal Union, called at th White House to "lay the facts before Secretary Tumulty first." "We are still friendly to the demo crats," Mrs. Baker said.' "We will continue to work till the last minute to get the democratic party to take some action. We are going to get the facts before those iu the councils of the presi dent in the houpe they may have somo influence." Mrs. Baker snid, however, after Aug ust 10, when the woman's party meets to consider its attitude in the coming election, no further efforts will be made to move the president. "The action of .our conventions prob ably will not result in a pledge for support of Hughes," Mrs. Baker said. "It probably iwill urge non-support of President Wilson, leaving the women free to cast their votes in any of the other parties, all of which are now on. record for the constitutional amend ment. This naturally would mean the bulk of the support for Mr. Hughes. "We make no claim that four million women will vote one way or another. In tne tirst place, we could not get that many to the polls. Are the second place we are making no appeal to those wo men who are party bound. Neverthe less the president's campaign leaders have been informed that on this issue women democrats cannot be held in the if the president continues his proxent attitude."
