PRUNE
CROP A
FAILURE

Vancouver, Wash, Sept. 22.-Re-
ports from various sections of Clark
county, Washington, indicate that
the injury to the prune crop in this
section will be much more severe
than was anticipated last week. In
some sections of the county 1t Is
now said that there will be almost.
IL not quite, complete loss. In
many OF the orchards the crop will
not be worth picking, and as result
large quantities of the product will
be allowed to remain upon the
ground.
Many of the driers which COM
menced operations a week ago have
now shut down, while several Others
are preparing to cease operations.
1t is due to the fact that from some
cause. the exact nature of which has
not yet been determined, has rem
dered the crop useless for drying
purposes. While a considerable por-
tion of the crop was cracked by the
recent rain, It was supposed that
the remainder, which constituted the
larger portion, would be saved. AS
picking has commenced, 1t has de-
veloped that the portion which
showed no exterior injury has, to
considerable extent, been ruined
Prunes in many cases that show no
sign of split, when handled, slip from
the skin, and when placed In boxes
to be moved, mash with their own
weight.
Several OF the dryers In the Fruit
Valley section stopped work yester-
day. 1t is reported that the same
conditions exist in the Mill Plain
fruit section, and the dryers there
will almost entirely cease work.
Among many of the growers efforts
are still being made to save a portion
OF the crop, and 1t Is hoped that II
the present fine weather continues
may improve, although 1t
Is admitted that, from present, indi-
cations, not over one-third OF the
crop promised month ago will be |
saved.

THE PRUNE INDUSTRY.

Salem Is the center OF an immense
prune industry, which In the dried
state reaches now about twenty
millions pounds, and increases each
year.
Prune orchards become more valur
able each year where properly cared
for and the best orchards are worth
from 500 to $500 per acre.
The crop this year Is very large
so large In western Oregon that
many will be lost for want of labor
to harvest the fruit and dry It.
The driers are running day and
night. men getting from So to $3.50
per day. Plckers are making $3.50
to $500 per day.
The price is down some owing to
large crop and the fruit running
lighter than former years. The mar
ket now Is 3 to Sh cents for best.
Most OF the prunes were contract
ed on four cent basis. The indi-
cations are that there will not be
enough 3Os and 4Os to meet demand.
Like the hop industry, the prune
Industry is established beyond the
experimental stage In western Ore
gon. Prunes are about MS stable a
crop as wheat but far more profit
able.

w. p. Babcock, the enterprlsing
manager of the Salem FIGURING Mills,
says Salem is now the best wheat
market In Western Oregon. Wheat
is being hauled here from twenty
miles around. and the receipts are
larger than for many years. He
says the price paid is fully FIVE
cents above the export basis, and the
facts Justify the assertion. During
the season ending May 31st he paid
out S45,00 for wheat at Salem, $4,000
for wages and $4,000 taxes. During
the year the mills ground 13.OO0 kai
rels o: flour and turned out a corre-
spending large amount of mill feed
and cereals, The claim of such an
enterprise upon the home trade is
beyond argument. and Salem people
Will be interested In the above facts
when ordering their supplies.

Christmas Of
Bulls and Bears
By JAMES ARTHUR

q = HE Christmas spirit i about the
only thing traded IL on Dec. "a
~ on Wall street. and the brokers
have celebration each year
that literally jars things loose. The fea-
lures of this ceremony vary, but the
horsepIay does not The brokers let
off the tension and have good time
generally. The festivities begin at
noon and sometimes last for several
hours. The galleries fill early, mostly
with wives and sweethearts of the
members on the floor The Stock Ex-
change is literally. draped with green
and red. The Seventh Regiment band
is on hand and as the chairman sounds
the gong begins playing THE Star
Spangfed Banner or some other patri-
otto air. Sometimes an elaborate pro-
gramme is arranged. made up Of min
strel acts. coon songs, comic talks and
similar performances. But, whatever
the especial form of the entertainment,
the bulls and bears conduct themselves
in much the same way. They make
Rome howl. Hats are smashed; bags
Of confetti are thrown at the ladies in
the gallery. who in turn empty the
contents over the heads and shoulders
OF the shouting brokers below.
If there happen to be new members
they are ''initiated'' and are carried
about the room in a yelling procession
to the music of the band. On one such
occasion an amateur football game
was played in the great chamber of
the Stock Exchange. Afterward the
members INDUCED in a cakewalk for
~ inn forty ranTTYa1 lyn which
was temptingly displayed on the chair
mans balcony. One staid old financieF
played the piano. another strunmed on
a guitar, while the younger brokers cut
pigeon wings about the floor. In older
years n Christmas tree graced the
Stock Exchange celebrations, all sorts
of comic presents We're handed out,
and the carnival ended up by every
body telling jokes on everybody else.
OF recent years this formal observance
of the day has been abandoned. Now
the ceremony is simply small edition
Of pandemonium, sort of frenZied
Christmas, as it We're.
The celebration of last year will give
an idea of these Christmas eve frolics
in Wall street At five minutes be-
fore noon the whole floor seemed in
tent on business, pushing up L. Z. and
other stocks and hurting puts and calls
back and forth like a game Of battle
door and shuttlecock. Promptly at II
the great gong sounded. and in@tEe |

shouting reached n pitch to drown out
the band. Finally one broker was
hOisted on to the ball, which promptly
was kicked out from under him. But.
though his legs were in the air, he was
kept from falling and again regained
his feet Then the ball was rolled to-
ward the high platform of the chair
man, when another effort was made to
whirl it out from under the brokers'
feet. Leaping, he caught an edge of
the platform, scrambled over the rail-
ing and gravely shook hands with the
venerable and dignified presiding Of
ficer. The hilarious ceremony was
wound up by collection being taken
for the messenger boys and attendants,
which mounted up to thousands of dol
lars.
Whatever new methods of playing
horse will be introduced in high finance

ties this year. it is certain that the men
who make and wreck fortunes will en-
