Two Special Trains Pulled
Out of Portland This Morn

Portland, Ore., Aug. 5. Two special
trains pulled eut of North Bank station
at H:30 a. m. today carrying Knights
of Pythias and Pythian Sisters to As
toria and Seaside. 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,

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.

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. Dealers everywhere are

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

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.

"The public will havo to bear with
us on deliveries. Take care of them
as best you can, and say that we are
doing everything in our power to get
the cars to them, without sacrificing
the quality. This great demand for
cars now is the result of the usual
value we have offered in the past, and
we are not eoiuc to compromise it in
any way even though we should have
to hold up deliveries tor several weens.
"But you can promise that we shull
endeavor to get caught up in a month
or so, and they will all bo supplied."
This letter from .Mr. rlanaers docks
up the reports from all parts of the
country that the Maxwell is today -fji-joying"
popularity that has never
even been approached in the Com
pany ' experience.
Messrs. Halvorsen Burns says
that thev have sufficient cars on hand
or in transit to fill orders for a short
time, but that if the present demand
continues they will be fortunate to get
