PRUNES
WILL BE
IN DEMAND
Already Contracts Are Made
for Fall Shipment
Activity is Due to Organized
Work By the Growers

Growers of prunes in this vicinity Will
he interested to know that there has
already been an unprecedented sale OF
prunes in California for fall shipment
out of the new crop, 20 per cent. OF
the very large crop now in sight re-
ported already sold.
The unusual activity and low prices
which are being made by the Califor-
MIA packers has caused an unusual
early inquiry for the Oregon product
and packers have been urged for some
time past to name price at which the
1902 crop may be sold for October and
November shipment, but the price at
which the California product is being
sold does not offer much encourage
ment to the Oregon growers who
have been looking forward to big
prices, because of the light Oregon
crop. and 1t is doubtful II there will
be any great haste to make contracts
at this time.
Oregon Prunes carefully prepared
and attractively packed have created
demand for themselves in certain
markets where they have been sold
for the past two or three years, and
we are advised that the Willamette
Valley Prune Association, of this city,
has sold quite a number of cars of
their fancy Pheasant" brand for early
shipment at the same quotations as
that of last year, namely 2% basis, OF
5Ia cents for 30 4Os in 25-pound boxes
Il will be remembered that growers
who are members Of this association
received fully one-half cent more last
season than the average market in
this district.
We note from Santa Clara reports
that the present low prices Is stimulat
ing the growers TO more interest in or.
ganizatlon, and. they are rallylng to
the support of the associations, chief.
ly due to the influence Of Col. Philo
Hersey, Of the Exchange, who has
proved himself veritable Moses to
the prune growers of his community.

TO BEAUTIFY
MARION
SQUARE
Band Stand and Stationary
Seats Proposed
A Public Improvement That
COmmendS Itself

Several Of Salem's public spirited
citizens have interested themselves in
the beautifylng Of Marion square. It
is most commendable move, and the
people Of the Capital City, generally
hoped to see It pushed to a definite
conclusion.
Excepting the stone steps to the
several administration buildings, there
is no public place in Salem where one
may boz seated for rest and outdoor
recreation. Il is needless to remark
that the places mentioned are neither
pleasant nor restful The spacious
ard beautiful lawns surrounding the
court house and state capitol building,
arc neither one provided with chairs
or benches. This is something Salem
needs. Few cities Of any size, and par
ticularly the seats of state govern.
ments. are to be found where these ac-
commodatlons are not provided. Sta
tionary seats in city park or public
place affords an interesting and rest
full position for strangers, wearied
from sightseeing, as well as. citizens,
desirous Of spending outofdoors these
delightful summer evenings.
An energetic committee has the mat.
ter in hand. A plan Of work has been
decided upon and the scheme Will be
actively worked. Results may be ex'
pected. for the committee will not
cease It's efforts until the purpose un.
dertaken has been accomplished. A
subscription will be started within a
few days. and by this means II Is ex.
pectad funds will be provided with
which to do the work. The plan Is to
construct in Marion square a modern
band stand. in which shall be given
band concerts during the summer and
fall seasons, and provide a number OF
stationary seats The ommittee
hopes to eventually be able TO equip
the square with a public drinking
fountain, and in other directions add
10 the natural beauty Of the property.
There will remain an unexpended
balance Of nearly $lOO IN the Fourth
Of July fund and It is suggested that
this sum, or at least Il part of II, be
appropriated to the Improvement Of
Marion square. The Fourth Of July
committee Is understood to be favor
able TO the scheme, and will act Joint.
ly with the special committee that Is
soliciting subscriptions, Since the
Fourth Of July Fund was raised for the
express purpose of providing pleasure
and entertainment. II would seem that
the balance Of the fund could be very
appropriately given to the contem-
plated improvement of the square
since the money could probably not be
spent in any other way that would be
as generally appreciated by the pub
lie, as herein suggested.
II has been suggested that part
OF the money be given to like improve
ments In Wilson avenue, hut there APP
pears TO be objections to this plan OF
action. First-a division of the money
would defeat permanent improvements
In either place, and secondly-if WIN.
son avenue must be equipped az a city
park, II Is mp to the city to make the
necessary provision therefor II might
be well 10 undertake one thing at
time, and do Il thoroughly before un-
douaking another

GRANT STATUE MODELS.
Competitors Must Submit Them by
April l.

Secretary Root and Senator Wetmore OF
the Grant statue or memorial COMMISSION
have decided an interesting question in con-
nection with the competition of American
artists for the contract for the construc-
ton of that statue. 1t is in effect that no
extension of time will be granted under any
circumstances to any of the competitors in
the submission of their designs and models.
Under the rule originally laid down by the
statue commission these models must be
in this city ready for exhibition by the 1st
of April and no consideration will be given
to any received at later date unless IT
is shown that the delay in shipment was
the result of causes beyond the control of
the artist. Application was recently made
by Washington artist for an extension OF
time In which to prepare his model. and 1t
was on this application that the commission
decided against an extension of time. The
artist has been informed by Mr.. NJ. Q.
Chance, secretary of the commission. AS
has been already stated in The Star. the
models will be exhibited in the Corcoran
Gallery of Art. and the public will be per-
mitted to them after the commission
has made its selection.

FAMOUS CASE RECALLED.
Proposed Payment to Family of Gen
Fitz John Porter.

A sequel to the famous FitZ John Porter
case came before the House committee on
military affairs today, when hearing was
given on the bill authorizing the Secretary
of War TO compute the amount of pay and
allowances Of the general during the period
of his enforced retirement from the army
and making appropriations Of the amount
to his widow and children. The hearing
was attended by several of General Porter s
old comrades in arms and by his daughter
and sons. When, at the instance of General
Grant, an army board passed upon the case
of General Porter the recommendation was
made that he be restored to rank and pay.
Acting on this, Congress, in 1856, restored
the general to his rank, but there was no
restoration of the pay during the long
period that he was out of the army.
II was stated at the hearing today that
the present measure was a simple act or
justice To the family, who had suffered
along with the general during the twenty
three years he was in retirement. In TINS
time. 1t was stated, General Porter mad
given most of his time and means to clear
ing his good name. being unable to make
provision for the future of himself and
family.
Cen. Charles G. Sawtelle. who served with
General Porter, paid tribute to his bravery
and ability as a soldier
Gen. W. W. Dudley. who served under
General Porter at the second battle OF Bull
Run, also testified to his character as a
soldier and commanding officer. General
Dudley pointed out that the preamble of the
act restoring General Porter to the army
recited the purpose to do justice to him,
and that the restoration of Lay was but q
part of the justice in the case

DAILY also said the main body OF the en-
ployes had no cause for dissatisfa ction and
In the event of a strike he did not think

THE Beers have no money to buy ammu-
nition.' said he. but when they need any
all they have to do is to capture a British
convoy, and they have enough to supply
them for a long time.

wear British uniforms in battle. Mr.. Wes-
sells said the Beers have no uniform of
their own, and therefore when they run

they are able to procure it is to take some
British soldiers clothes from which, he
added. the distinguishing marks were al
ways removed even to cutting off the coat
