Prime Crop Outlook
In Valley Promising
Tha prune prospects In this part of
the valley are fairly favorable, ac
cording to the opinion of the Drager
Fruit Co. There is only ono drawback,
nd'that i that 1ho ground has not
een cultivated as many farmers havo
frown veteh between tho trees, and
with a dry season, this would causa the
dropping of the fruit. Mr. Drager Is
. inclined to think thnt the growing ol
vetch, with prune is somewhat risky
although it may turn out all right
hould tho eoaaon be a rainy one.
Mr. Bmgor predicts a light cherry
crop on Account of the cold weather in
arly April. Loganberries he found in
fine condition in the low grounds,
while in tho higher grounds, the condi
tions are about "the same as ono year
The federal food adminiHtiation Is
ot permitting packers to name pric
es to jobbers. Early in the season, the

tracts until after June 1.

Writes from West Front
William F. Perlick, of Salem, is now
in France with Wagon Co. No. 1, Q.

A. E. F. He writes his brother Albert
Perlick, regarding his work as follows
''I didn't see an egg all Easter Sun
day, hard as I tried to. It did not
seem like Easter Sunday without even
seeing an egg, but I bought a, dozen
today and paid the cook a franc to
cook them.
"It will soon be eight months sinee

two wevks of uncertainty. I received
51 letters all at once. I havo an
swered six and havo only 45 more to
write. It is awful nice to receive let
ters here.
"You said it would seem impossible
for us boys to live as we do. You see.
wo are gradually hardened so that we
can stand almost anything. I'm get
ting so I Jiko it. Have p nice home to
live in and surroundings like I have
in Salem.
Don't worry about what tho censor
cuts out of one of my letters. It
wasn't that 1 was trving to put any
thing over them. It was just a few
words that I 'had written in Frunch
and I didn't know that we were not

Special Rates Are
Asked by Commission
The public service commission
through Commisisoncr Corey has made
application to Secretary McAdoo in his
character of Director General of Bail-
roads for rates on ores from Grant
county that will place them on equal
terms with similar ores in Union coun
ty. Grant county has one of the largest
deposit Jl of chroma ore in the United
States but it is of low grade averag
ing about 34 per cent. This ore is in
great demand by the government and
as the government now controls the
railroads its attention is called to '.ihis
sourc.ii of supply. It costs $3.50 por ton
;o haul the ore from the mines to the
Sumpter Valley railroad, a narrow
gaugo, and its charge for hauling the
ore to Baker is $3.40, to which is added
a charge of 25 cenj a ton for trans
fer. The O. W. R. & N. publishes rates
from Joseph, located on a branch line
84 miles from La Grande, to eastern
points tho same as from Baker. It is
asked that it do the same thing with
regard to the oiv?s from Grant county.
To do this would require fjiat the main
lines absorb the charges made in get
ing the ores to Baker, which amount
$7.15 a ton. As it is the ores of Grant
county are discriminated against in this
urn by the O. W. R, & N. Chroma ores
;.re essential in tho manufacture of ar
mor plate, projectiles and many other
things needed in conducting the war
aod all sources of supply are being
drawn 011 to meict the demand.

Cleaners Not to Blame
for Dress Shrieking
If a dress shrinks, when sent to the
dyers, it is the fault of the dress and
not '.Jie dyer, unless it can ho proved
that the dyer was negligent and careless
and didn't understand his business, ac
cording to a decision rendered today by
Judge Webster in the casfl of P. A.
Schilling against tho Standard Cleaners.
fho suit was brought in the -justice
of the peace counj by Mrs. Schilling
against the Standard Cleaners early in
January. The case was brought to trial
about two w,ccks ago and today the de
cision was rendered by Judge Webster
in favor of tho defendants. Mrs. Schill-
ng Claimed that the dress had been
ruined and sued for $25.
Judge Webster holds thai, a cleaner
or dyer is not an insurer of goods left
with them and no damage can be col
lected unless it can be proved there was
carelessness, negligence or want of at
tention.
The Standard Cleaners claimed they
used the usual methods for cleaning
and that jJiey had had twelve years of
experience and that it was the goods
and not their method of treating that
caused the dress to shrink.
A;: Mrs. Schilling lives at Bend, Orc
,?n, the dress is still in the Judge 's
fftlee, awaising the orders of its own
er.
