This fake resolution was published
Sunday in the Oregoninn and Mon
day in the Telegram. It reveals the
I ' lengths to which the opponents of
a 1 1'resident Wilson are going iu their
I J 'efforts to discredit him in the eyes of
II the working people, whom the' presi
dent has won by his support of many
measures for their benefit.
As published in the Owgoninn, the
fake resolution, after a lengthy pre
amble, said: "Be it resolved, that we
condemn the present administration
for its lack of sympathy with the
American working men of the build
ing trades, as well as its inaction in
adjusting a grievance that is of the
greatest cornceru to the mechanics of
the building industry in the United
States, and
"Be it further resolved, That we
urge our members and sister councils
throughout the couutrdy to work and
vote against the re-election of Wood
row Wilson."

The above items, in so far as they
concern fruit, are approximately cor
rect, and while it is hard to get any
where near exact fibres on the agri
cultural products on account of the un
organized condition of statistics in re
gard to those crops, I think that the
figures given for agricultural products
art very conservative. In regard to
hops the figures 1 have put down are
only probalilv fifteen per cent of the.
crop, but I have tried to confine my'
self to what 1 would think would come
to Salem.
Mover in the history of the past ten
years of the Willamette valley has
there been. such good crops, with good
prices at the. same time, and never have
the general weather conditions been so
favorable for. gathering and saving the
entire crop. Ordinarily, on account of
bad weather, thousands of dollars worth
of products go to waste on tho farms
and in the orchard, but this year every
thing was saved ami there has been an
excellent market for even all the cull
fruit. It has not been so much a ques
tion of selling the goods this year as a
question of being able to get all of the
fruit and products you could handle,
and prices have been the highest in
years.
it certainly looks as though some of
the much talked of wave of prosperity
in the east has crawled over the Ore
gon line and hit Oregon at last. I have'
heard it said that there have been more

than there have for many years.

All Canned Goods High
and Still Climbing
Packing plants handling canned
fruits, and iu fact all Kinds of canned
goods are sending letters to their trade,
explaining the uniisiinlly unfavorable
season for all kinds of canned goods,
One firm states that never since the
year 1878 have general conditions been
worse in the east. The season was
backward, planting was delayed on ac
count of continuous rains and fintally
after the crop of corn, beans, beets, to
matoes and turnips were maturing, came
the killing frosts of September 30
throughout the east.
Besides the unfavorable crop condi
tions, there has been an increased cost
of labor, cans, boxes, labels and in fact
everything a canning plant uses anil thel
prediction is made that the 10 cent can
in a thing of the past.
In comparing the prices of canned
corn, it is shown thnt almost all grades
have advanced fullv one-half. Hucco
tash follows about the same proportion,
and some brands of lima beans are
worth almost double that of a year ago,
while there is an advance of at least 50
per cent all along the line
Tomatoes show an advance of about
one-third for the common brands with a
higher per cent of increase for fancy
goods- Even canned pumpkin lines up
with other vegetables with a price of 50
to 75 per cent higher and squash does
the same.
Over Hundred Years
Old-Votes for Wilson
Chicago, Oct. 27. Arm in arm with
his 79-year-old wife. Jacob Harris, aired
102, of 8U South Laflin street, the old
oti ngimereu voter in Illinois and proli
ably in the United Htatee, will walk to
the polls on November 7 and both will
cast their bullots for Woodrow Wilson.
The couple recently celebratedo their
golden anniversary and had about them
33 descendants, including great grand
children. Mr. Harris cast his first vote for An
drew Jackson and was a democrat until
after the war, in which he fought on the
side ot tne Lnion. Jlo voted for Van
Bureu, Polk, Pierce, Fillmore, and Bu-j
chanan. Conditions led him to change'
to the republican party and he voted
for Lincoln and every other republican
candidnte until 1U12.
He has now returned to his early love,
the democratic party, induced to do so
fby the character and services of Presi
dent Uson. As Mr- Jlarris expressed
it to ail interviewer, he cannot consist
ently remain with tho republican party
any longer. ' .
Mrs. Harris declared that "Mr. Wil
son is a just and noble man and every
woman iu Illinois should vote for him.
Resides, the nation is iu an extremely
grave and critical situation, because of
war-mad Europe, and I believe Presi
dent Wilson is the only man who can
steer our ship through the troubled wa
ters." . Both are in good health. They read
the newspapers closely and keep in
touch with current happenings.
