SHE HAS ALREADY HIT SALEM A JOLT Order for $10,000 to $15, 000 Worth of Green Prunes Has Been Cancelled The first effect of the impending railroad strike so far as local conditions are concerned is the cancellation of an order for green prunes which had been placed with the Salem Fruit Union by the Earl Fruit company, of Sacramen to, Cal., amounting to between $10,000 and $15,000. F. V. Martin, northwest representa tive of the Earl company, was in Sa lem yesterday, and while here received notice that because of the probability of a strike its railroads have refused to accent shipments after tonight. Ship menta now in transit are being rushed in order to get them to their destuia tions before Monday night. The fruit union had made prepara tions to fill the order for green prunes at once, and the cancellation of the or der comes as a sort of disappointment to Manager Paulus for the reason that the green fruit would have brought somewhat better returns than the evup- orated article. However, the fruit which was to have been shipped green will be evaporated and with a favorable market, which now seems probable, but little loss will follow. The Salem or der is but one of Bevcral in the north west cancelled by this order. There has not been so strong a de mand for Oregon fresh fruit as the pres ent since 1909, when the Salem Fruit Union shipped 00 enr loads. Homo green fruit has been shipped every year, but not sufficient to constitute an import ant factor. Manager Paulus reports the shipping from the fruit union or a car contain ing upwards of (10,000 pounds of dried loganberries to Chicago this week, the value of which is upwards of $12,000. Practically the entire order goes to Chi cago catalogue houses. The market for dried berries is very good. Manager Paulus believes that the total output in the valley, approximating 300,000 pounds, will be disposed of before the close of, the present season. most of them being petites. Drying will not begin here until about the 15th of September. Oscar Snelson, 8 merchant of Crab tree, was transacting business in the city yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

"Who stole the key to the city hall door I" is the marching song of Oregon and Washington troops and is chant ed on long hikes tinough dusty country. The ballad seems to be very dear to the hearts of some guardsmen although no one will stand sponsor for its author- ship. The various verses recite ad- ventures of a "thirsty Ore- goneer who discovered a cache of beer" securely locked inside the city hall at Calexico taken in a raid. County authorities are still investigating the mysterious disappearance of thirty sacks of bottled beer from the city hall two weeks ago. H. L F Turned Turtle While Out for Practice Spin Fred Steus loff Saved Him H. Steiubock, proprietor of the house with a million bargains, and Fred H. Steusloff played a part In an almost tragedy this morning at 5 o'clock, at the corner of Commercial street and Marion. Mr. Steinbock recently pur chased an automobile and in order to become more proficient in the hand ling of the car, took it out for a little spin this morning about sun-up when he was sure of having all the street to himself. He enjoyed a morning ride, but when traveling slowly along Commercial street, in attempting to turn in on Ma rion, cramped the wheels on making the corner, resulting jn the car turn ing completely over with Mr. Steinbock pinned underneath. Just at this moment Fred Steusloff happened to be looking out of the win down at his home. Rushing to the car he held it partly off Mr. Steinbock, who was gradually being crushed by the weight of the car.. By calling loudly for help, assistance arrived in time to prevent serious injury to (he man un derneath. Anyhow, Mr. Steinbock saws that he was just about all in when Mr. Steusloff arrived and that he owes his life to the man who was strong enough to relieve him of the weight of the car while culling for assistance. PRICESARE SOARING Orders Refusing Perishable Freight Jumps Price On All Food Stuffs Chicago, Aug. 30. Produce and live stock prices in the local markets soar ed todav as additional western railroads prepared to ban periahaule 'freight ship ments, beginning Saturday. Notices were posted on the floor of the Chicago Dairy Board that the Mich igan Central, Michigan Southern and the Baltimore & Ohio roads would ac cept butter and egg shipments eon signed to Philadelphia, New York and Boston only until Saturday. Produce men predicted a big rise in butter and egg prices. Unfavorable strike news boosted hogs to their former high level of $11.30 a hundred pounds. Cattle also showed a gain, while sheen advanced from 15 to 30 cents per hundred pounds. Potato prices jumped also. Minnesota and Ohio shipments were quoted 15 cents higher at $1.35 a bushel. Live poultry showed gains. Interurban lines today pre-ared to carry out plans to handle double their usual traffic in case of a strike Mon day. Officials planned to convert pas senger conches into freight ears to han dle produce shipments. .

Following is an epitome of views held by railroad managers and railroad brotherhood chiefs on the six proposnls of President Wilson: First Brotherhoods are passive re garding any plan to enlarge member ship and wider scope of the interstate commerce commission. Railroads whole heartedly approve the suggestion. Second Brotherhoods unanimously want establishment of nn eight hour day by law. Some think such action! would prevent the strike. auroans have made their chief fight against this proposition. Third Brotherhoods not greatly con cerned over appointment of a commis sion to study effects of an eight hour day on operation costs. Railroads de sire such a commission if the eight hour day law is inevitable. Fourth Brotherhoods opposed in principle only suggestion that con gress explicitly approve interstate com merce commission consideration of in creased freight rates; believe the roads are making enough now to grant de mands. Railroads favor any movement to give them increased freight rates, but are doubtful of results of such consideration. Fifth Brotherhoods actively oppose as un-American "forcing men to work when they don't want to," which, they say, would be the result of creation of a commission to investigate labor dis putes, with the proviso that to strike would be unlawful during any investi gation. Railroads specifically asked for such a commission. Sixth Brotherhoods do not oppose giving the president power to operate trains in event of military necessity, provided only trains needed for milt: tary purposes are thus operated. Riyl roads favor any measure that will keep trains running if a strike occurs. 13 FOR SENATORSHIP Johnson Wins by Majority Estimated As Not Less Than 15,000 8an Francisco, Aug. 30. With 60 per cent of the returns already in the plu rality of Governor Hiram W. Johnson for the republican nomination for Uni ted States senator grew rapidly this aft ernoon, simultaneously with the issu ance by the executive of a statement to the voters of California at noon, Johnson's backers declared that his ma jority over Willis Booth of Los Angeles would not be less than 15,000 and prob ably would exceed this figure. Returns from 3,178 precincts gave Booth 90,571, and Johnson 112,017, a majority for Johnson of 21,440. What ever doubts remained as to Johnson's nomination were removed shortly before noon when Willis Booth, Johnson's op ponent, conceded the governor's vic tory. Analysis of the figures indicates that Booth carried virtually all of the coun ties in southern California south of the Tehachapi, but that pluralities rolled up for Johnson in northern California more than overcame Booth 's lead in the south. Governor Johnson was jubilant over his victory today. k "It's a political miracle," he said, "to go into the enemy's camp and beat the spots off him." The vote in San Francisco was only about half of the official registration and it is believed that this will prove to have been the ratio of votes polled throughout the state. In the Fifth congressional district, Representative John L Nolan -was nominated by both the republicans aud democrats for congress. Paring Plant Case Before Judge Galloway The action of Frank S. Ward against the city of Salem for an injunction to prevent the city from paying for the paving plant now iu use by the city, called for hearing before Judge Gallo way yesterday, took what appears to be a queer turn before the taking of testimony was well under way. According to the complaint filed, the injunction is asked on the ground that the city did not ask for competitive bids. The city maintains in its answer to this that an amendment to the citv charter, adopted by the electors of the cny ana carrying wirn it an appropria tion for 8000 for the purpose of buy ing machinery, does away with the necessity of advertising for bids. The paving plant was bought by the coun cil on the recommendation of the may or and the street committee, who went to Portland for the purpose of exain ing the machinery. ' The attorneys for the plaintiff de voted much 0f their effort yesterday to discrediting the paving plant, bring ing out from City Engineer Skelton in the process his opinion that the city is paying 25 per cent more for its paving with its plant than the county offered to do the work for. The city enginer furthermore gave it as his opinion that he roller purchased by the city is prac tically worthless. The city engineer's work in making street survey was also attacked by the city 'a witnesses, charging him with increasing the cost of paving. The roller cost 1700. The paving plant cost 3200. The ease will be argued tomorrow. iLDJllli: Make Thrift a Household Word Teach the children to be thrifty. Habits formed in childhood are not apt to change in after years.

(The Tomas Pass tunnel ia about 900 feet long and is situated on the Bucharest-Budapest railway just inside the Transylvanian frontier, 11 miles south of Kronstadt.) Sharp fighting occurred in the Tomas Pass region a few hours after the Ru manian declaration of war. Rumanian detachments, advancing from Predeal, crossed the frontier and attacked an Austrian frontier guard. Part of the Austrian force was captured and the Rumanians then withdrew to the border where they entrenched and repulsed counter attacks by reinforced Austrian troops. On the extreme wings, the Rumanians are pressing forward into Hungary with a pinier like movement that threatens to squeeze the Teutons out of nil south eastern Transylvania. Unofficial re ports from Bucharest today said that Rumanian vanguards which formed a junction with the Russians in the north have pushed forward more than a mile into Transylvanian territory. The Ru manians have invaded Transylvania in force on the southern border, south of Hermannstadt and were engaged near the Bed Tower Pass when laBt reports were rescived at Geneva. The Austrians have made prepara tions for the early evacuation of both Kronstadt and Hermannstadt, the two most important cities of Transylvania by the civilian population. Rumanians Defeated. Berlin, Aug. 30. Two Rumanian bat talions were defeated in an attack against the Austrian positions at Veres torony Pass, south of Red Tower Pass, on the railway leading to Hermannstadt, said a semi-official statement given out here today. - - The Rumanians took the offensive at every point where fighting occurred, but "were everywhere repulsed. Their principal attacks were against positions defending, the cities of Hermannstadt and Kronstadt. Vienna newspapers report that Ru manian prime minister end King Ferd inand assured the Austrian minister 'it Bucharest as late as Sunday morning, that Rumania did not want war. Bucharest dispatches given out by the semi-official German news agency to day declared that street riots occurred there when news of Rumania's declara tion of war became known. The Berlin authorities today issued an order attaching all the assets of the Ru manian state. German houses wer-j n dered to pay money neither to Ruman ian houses nor to Rumanian subjects. Newspapers of the Central Powers and those friendly to the Central Pow ers pointed out that Rumania was prac tically allied with Germany and Aus tria until her declaration of war.

' - . - Along the western front the usual cannonading occurred last night. There were no infantry attacks except east of Fleury, on the northeastern front of Verdun, where the French made ,io gress.
