ALL PRUNEs SOLD
About Five Carloads in the Vicinity of
Corvallis Marketed.

There has been activity among
prune growers in the vicinity OF
Corvallis for a week past. Several
buyers have been on the scene, and
the result Of the negotiations is that
nearly all of the crop of the neigh
borhood has passed out of the hands
Of the growers. The sale compri-
ses about five carloads, which on
account of the very light crop is
practically the total output in the
immediate vicinity for the season.
All the sales are not to the same
buyer. Nearly all the prunes in
the vicinity of Philomath, and the
B1akes1ee holdings in Corvallis,
together with few other small
lots were purchased the latter part
of the week by the Willamette Val
ley Prune Association of Salem.
The latter company is the same
that bought a considerable quantity
of prunes in this vicinity last year.
Ithas process works at Salem,
and the prunes bought here are to
be shipped there for treatment,
after which the Association boxes
and places them on the market.
Another sale of nearly three car
loads was consummated Monday. It
comprises the two carloads held by
the big Prune Company, the crop
of D G Rose and few other lots in
and about Corvallis. The sale is
for the New York market, and
shipment is to be made at once. At
the big prune companys plant, the
grading and sacking is to begin at
once. In the latter sale the figures |
have not been made public, but
they are understood to somewhat i
in advance of the sale of the Salem
buyers.

MUST HAVE PRODUCTS
Thousands at Chicago Want to See
Something That Benton Has
Produced.

Wallis Nash has written another
letter to a Corvallis man asking
for something in the way of an ex-
hibit for Benton county to be p1ac-
ed in the Immigration Office of
the Hartman lines at Chicago.
He says that Benton suffers for
lack of some product to stand as a
representative of what the county
is capable of, and urges that some
thing, even ifit only be a box of
apples be forwarded. Fruits,
either fresh Or in jarsrcan be used,
in the Immigration office with tel
ling effect.
The inquiries about Oregon, Mr.
Nash continues, are simply TN
limited in number. The reputa-
tion of the state seems suddenly to
have 1eared into favor in the pub
lie eye, and thousands are seeking
information about it's climate, char
acter and resources, with a view of
leaving for the Webfoot state in
the spring. The rush then Mr.
Nash says, will be far greater than
the most enthusiastic Oregonian
can possibly anticipate. The letter
concludes with the suggestion that
any products, properly packed for
shipment, may be left at the South
ern Pacific station in Corvallis,
and the railroad company will take
it through to its destination with
out charge.

THE COUNTY CASE
Lawyers Argue Incorporation set up
Technical Objections to Assess
mentS.

A1OhSos
!. There was a hearing in the cir
cult court Monday afternoon of the
case in which the Oregon-Pacifc
Colonization Company seeks to
evade payment of taxes on its lands
in Benton County. The lands are
known as the Coe lands, and the
amount of taxes delinquent on them
is for five or six years and aggre-
gate above $4,000. Benton
Comfy advertised the lands for
sale for taxes and the corporation
restrained the sale by injunction in
the court.
Monday the case was called. and
the attorneys for the county filed a
demurrer to the corporation COM
plant. In the argument on the de-
murrer, counsellor the corporation
urged that the entire assessment
of the lands was at fault, because
the lands were assessed in a lump
and not separated into parcels. Con-
sci claimed that the failure tosegre-
gate was equivalent to making as
sessment at all. and many decisions
in support of the view were cited.
Judge Hamilton overru1ed the
demurre, and the county was given
thirty days in which to make an
swer to the corporations complaint,
after which the latter has similar
period in which to file a reply with
he court. 1t is probable that three
months or more will elapse before
he case will reach a solution.

THE RUBBER STAMP.

The business man who uses rubber
stamp on his letter heads and envelopes
is too pecuniarily circumspect to sue
coed. Economy in this part of a bust
ness is equal to the last joint in cats
tail-it is thin. There are places for
retrenchment OF expenses. Nothing so
lowers PERSONS business qualifications
in the minds of his correspondents as a
poor quality of stationery. This is true
in all lines of business.
The other day letter was received at
this office from business man in Seattle.
In the left hand corner of the front side
of the envelope there was stamped in
blue ink lot of crafty adjusted letters,
which pretended to convey the idea that
the sender of the letter was in business
of some kind. A lightning landscape
painter could have done better at one
throw OF his brush. 1t is immaterial
what the business of the sender was,
or is, it is sufficient to say that that cuts
no figure As is usual in such cases il
was the quality of the printing that
attracted attention and not the name
of the man. The printing was simply
unsightly; it was fright, to express i,
mildly, and an uptodate business man
would be ashamed to send such a brand
ed letter through the mails.

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

The proposed street railway to connect
North Yakima with the Sunnyside
country and intermediate points should
be encouraged by everybody in the
valley Rapid transit and closer COM
munication between cities, towns and
communities are great forces Of develop
ment. An electric railway may be con-
sidered a modern luxury by some, but a
luxury is often a necessity as well as a
welcome convenience, especially in a
country like the Yakima valley, where
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-04-22

distances are "immense." North Yak
ina can afford to fulfill the conditions
required for building the road; the land
owners of the districts through which
the line would run could be liberal in
rights OF way and agreements OF freight
traffic would not be beyond the circum-
stances of the farmers to comply with.
Encourage the promoters of the scheme
to any reasonable extent and let the
electric way be built.

SPECULATIVE FEVER.

A few days ago a prominent business
long as the speculative fever hangs over
the people of this valley the permanency
of the homes and stability of the city
were long time deferred. He con-
tended, and no one can justly question
his assertion, that speculation for specu-
lative purposes had such a hold on the
people as a whole that development is
retarded. He went on to say that no
one becomes permanent fixture in the
city or county save, perhaps. through
force of circumstances. The whole am
bition of everybody seems to be to buy
land or anything else and Immediately
look about for new purchaser at an
advance.
This is a great drawback to any COM
munity. 1t would be better, he says, if
the people would settle down to a per-
manency that could be relied on. The
person who continually moves about
with a speculative bee in his bonnet
may acquire wealth or lose some of it,
as his fortunes may direct, but he is an
injury to a community. 1t is the person
who establishes a home that makes a
country. The home gives stability to a
community. 1t is a certain and reliable
foundation and may be depended on to
last throughout the seasons of adversitv
while otherwise the business structure
would wobble.
There is too much speculation in this
city and the whole county, he says. A
year ago city property could be had fol
half the prices now asked. Rents also
have raised not in the same proportion
but almost. Prices of property are still
going upward, and rents are following
suit. The country will not justify thi:
condition Of affairs to continue. There
must be limit, and limit will bt
reached some time. A conservative pol
icy would be better and more to the
lasting benefit Of the people. There i!
no reason why 100 per cent should b,
added to the price of property in year
Some people may argue that demand
creates this rise There is no reason
why it should. Ii the spectators would
he content with a reasonable profit NJ
one would find fault. By the method
adopted here in the last year hundreds
yes. thousands of people have been KEEP
away. They go to the place where lane
is cheaper. Drive away the speculativ,
boyle and use reason.

WHY HE is THIN.

Congressman Cushman is funny; he
is humorous, and more than that he is a
great talker when once he gets started.
Last Thursday he made a speech in the
house of representatives that made
everybody laugh, even down to the
statue-like door keepers. He talked on
the "rules'' OF the house like Cassius
would to Caesar, aiming at the man pre-
siding in the chair. Here is one para
graph OF his speech that should be
pasted in the hat of every person in this
commonwealth in remembrance OF the
man who has grown thin in serving the
dear people. 1t is:
"There are people in Washington City
