Manager Eobt. Paulus. of the 8a
lem Fruit Union, has just closed one
or the largest truit deals ever made in
the northwest, it covering a million
pounds of 50-60 prunes am! about half
a million bU-70s, tho consideration be
ing in round numbers $125,000.
Last summer a committee was nam
ed by the fruit packers for the purpose
of getting the government to recog
nize the Oregon prune, but owing to
several things, failed to accomplish
much at the time. While in California
soon after this Mr. Paulus hunted up
A. C. Kuhn who has charge of the buy
ing for the government, discussed tho
Oregon prune Vtuation with him and
broached the matter of the govern
ment purchasing part of its supply in
this state. On his return from Califor
nia Mr. Paulus found the packers were
receiving glioirt deliveries and this
compelled tho holding up of all trans
actions with the government until
some idea could be had as to quanti
ties, sizes anit such things. In the mean
time Mr. Jenks, of Gilo & Co., was
working with the British army supply
purchasing ngent in San Francisco en
deavoring "o clean up the supply of
the northwest. Mr. Crawford, of the
Brager Fruit company, was also busy, its label,
he 'working through Senator MeNary
in an effort to get jhe department to
specify Oregon prunes in its next or
der.
In the meanwhile Mr. Paulus kept
in close touch with Mr. Kuhn and at
the same time got busy securing the
tonnage of unsold prunes in northwest
packers bands- He then wired Mr
Kuhn he would be glad to act a his
agent in securing the prunes of the
northwest fo r the government. The
reply came last Friday in a telegram
from Mr. Kuhn authorizing Mr. Paul
us to notify packers tJ hold 50-G0s and
60-70s for the government. The price
given was $8.75 for 50-60s and $825
for 60-70s. The amount ordered held
were 500 tons of the larger size and
2U0 tons of the smaller. While fixing
the price Mr. Kuhn added that these
were subject to revision by the federal
traue ooara.
This practically cleans up all prunes
of the sizes named, in the hands of
the northwest packers, and the supply
left is all 70-80s or smaller with the
exception of a few 40-50s. IV is esti
mated there is still in the hands of
growers of the northwest around a mil
lion pounds, of all sizes. Mr. Paulus is
to bo congratulated on his splendid
work, a work that will become of more
and more importance since it brings to
the minus of the authorities back m
Washington the fact that California is

D. A. White ft Sons find themselves
prettv busy these days making out num

long i nd detailed report required under
their license as a firm doing lltore thuu
a $ iUU.uuu a year business in food rro
duct?. Next is a report nearly as long
and detailed required by tho grain cor
pi rat iot license. Then there is the re
port required by their license as dealers
in mill teed. Iu addition to this they
havii what is called an army report to
make out, showing what they have on
liaiut in the way of hay and grain that
niij,hi be required for tho army mules
and cavalry horses. When the govern
ment wants anything of this nature it
simply wires tho order to a dealer and
tho latter is compelled to fill it and ship
at once regardless of everything else.
Then there is a report they have to
muke out of all seed stock on hand,
and in addition a half dozen other spec
ial reports.
