GROWERS ACCUSE
wine ASSOCIATION
AIlege That Organization Is At
tempting to Drive Down
Price of Grapes
Denies Cnarges and
Says Trade Conditions
Are to Blame

Sharp friction has developed between
the grape growers of Fresno county
and the California wine association.
Many of the growers have protested
against the action of the association
in restricting its purchases of grapes
and have charged that such a course
was adopted from sinister motives.
They accuse the association Of attempt
ting to hammer down the price of
grapes and of playing politics to OPP
pose the prohibition movement. These
charges the management of the Cali
fornia wine association denies and Of
fers the explanation that an oversup-
ply of wine has forced 1t to limit its
purchases.
w. Hansen. manager of the associa-
ton, said yesterday that the organiza-
ton had withdrawn its former offers to
the growers and would now proceed
to buy only such grapes. as It needed to
keep up its supply.
I'VE had offered" said Hanson, Ito
crush the grapes for. the growers and
to retain one-third of the product. stor-
ing the remainder for the grower until
May Of next year. This offer has now
been withdrawn. We will buy only
such grapes as we need: We. are car
rying a large supply of wine over from
last year. There is. no truth in the
press prices. In fact, we would rather
see high prices prevail. But the wine
industry is like. every other. industry
The price is affected by supply and de-
mand. Trade conditions have been
such, either because: of the prohibition
movement or the financial depression,
that they have left our cellars full:
The burden in this matter will not
fall on the grower alone, 1T win fall
on US as well. We desired to fill our
and thought our. offer to the
growers an equitable one, but since it
was not regarded with favor we have
it."
Wine growers throughout. the state
are confronted by a difficult situation.
With the crop. ripening. the usual mar
ket has been withdrawn. Whereas an
average price. of S14 a ton has pre-
vailed, only SIS is now being. offered: It.
is stated that growers will do we'll to
make expenses this Year unless: there
is a sudden turn for the. better
In some quarters the criticism of the
California wine. association has been
particularly. severe. Interior growers
have charged that the organization has
placed prices on. too high a level and is
now endeaxorjng to scale them down.
All these accusations are denied at the
Offices Of the association.

by the head of the church after inves-
tigation, necessary. preliminary to the
divorce by the courts. Cohn was
granted an fnterlocutory decree, with

The direct cause of the death OF
the late Oryille L. Draper was that
insidious mental disease character
lied as melancholia. The young mar
never ceased to grieve over the
death of his father, and at various
times his mother has succeeded il
diyerting his mind from this de.
preston with much difficulty. Ten.
days before his death, in a moment
of this mysterious depression, it is
supposed that he took acid from a
bottle on his workbench, and though
the doctors were able to prolong his
life and relieve him, he passed away
with the minds of all who knew him
filled with pity for his fate and the
recollection of his kindly and help
full life.

John Jones, the Indian arrested

protection against married scoun-
drels other than brute force of male
relatives or by carrying firearms.
1t looks as though our revised stat
utes are badly in need of revising,
though lawyers inform us that the
fault does not lie with the revising
committee but with the coarse work
of the legislature in cutting out one
of their recommendations. The
court had no recourse but to dis
charge the man accused without try
ing the case on it's merits.

Falls is fortunate in having an en-

have been willing to pay a good

after the conference was over. AL
though nearly seventy years old at
that time, he displayed wonderful
energy, which never greatly abated
until year or two ago when the
illness from which he died put a
damper to his activities. About two
months ago he made the long journey
from New York to Minneapolis to
honor the dedication of the Fowler

presence. He was born at Buford,
Ontario, in 1897.

So faI the Sun las heard of but
two men who are aspiring for favors
at the hands of the Republican con-
ventlon which meets in Rawlins on
August 9Th, Hon. Sam. F. Price for
the state senate and d. E. Winsor
for county commissioner. DIR. Price
has already had one term as senator
from Carbon county, and proved that
his ability as ii law maker is as good
as the best. His nomination is al
most an assured fact.
Judge Winsor will make an ideal
county commissioner. He is a bus
mess mar of large experience, has
an excellent education and above all
"a clear mind and sound Judgement.
If he is nominated and elected the
county will find that they have a man
that will conduct its business in "a
careful and judicial manner and one
whom nothing can turn from what he
believes to be right.

The nomination of Mr.. Bryan is ID
phenomenon that seems almost be

nothing of him. The practical lead

His standing as a presidential posi-
bility has not increased since his last
defeat. And his third campaign on
the new Democratic platform seems
to foreshadow the disintegration of a
once great party. An organization
that continues to draw its political
inspiration from the old south and its
economics from the eighteenth cen

facts in dealing with the problems of
