PRUNES SOLD GREEN.
Salem Growers to Ship 80 Cars to
Eastern Market.

Salem-A new era in the prune busi-
ness of the Willamette valley was ush-
cred in, when the independent prune
pool, representing about 1000, 600
pounds of fruit, practically decided to
accept a proposition from the Earl
Fruit company, of San Francisco, for
about 80 car loads of green prunes, to
be picked and shipped to the Eastern
markets at once. The price offered is
40 cents per crate of "a pounds, the
prunes to be accepted and paid for at
this rate before leaving Salem. The
growers are told they will also get all
that the prunes bring in the market
over and above this figure. Each car
will hold IL tons.
The Eastern Washington and Idaho
crop has been sold green for several
years. Last year the output of that
section was 1000 tons. This year
there is light crop, amounting to only
about $50 tons, and the dealers in green
fruits are seeking to make up the de-
ficiency by buying Oregon's Italian
prunes, which are admitted to be better
than either the California or Washing
ton products. Last year the growers
of Washington and Idaho realized 80
cents per crate of "a pounds. or about
so cents per bushel, for their green
prunes, which the Salem growers con-
slider more profitable than selling the
dried fruit.
Leading growers state that 80 cars
can be picked from the orchards of the
members of the pool at this time and
not decrease the output of dried fruit
to any extent, as the prunes that re-
main will attain much larger growth
than if none were removed.

Deschutes Canal Breaks.

Bend-A break has occurred in the

G. Power company, and before the head

is feared water will be shut off for at
least ten days, and as the farmers are
much in need of water these warm days
the loss will be extensive.

HOLLYWOOD WILL ADD
TO SCHOOL SYSTEM
BONDS TO BE VOTED FOR
POLYTECHNIC
Suburban City VIII Bring Valuable
Educational Property Within the
Boundaries of Greater
= Los Angeles

A technicality that spoiled the sale
OF bonds voted for the erection of a
polytechnic school building to cost
100000 has made necessary a second
election in Hollywood. Although she
is soon to be annexed to Los Angeles,
Hollywood will proceed with the bond
issue and the erection of the new high
school, pay all bills and bring the en-
tire school system into Los Angeles
after annexation has been effected.
Hollywood's ambition is to be the
most complete and perfect addition
that has as yet been made to Greater
Los Angeles, and this is assured, in the
opinion of those who have been watch
ing the phenomenal progress of the
suburban city.
In addition to her other municipal
improvements on which much more
than a million dollars has been ex-
pended, Hollywood has what is con-
sidered the best public school system
Ia the south.
Another thing that has increased the
admiration of Los Angeles for Holly
wood is the fact that the suburban city
is willing and eager to become a part
of the Greater Los Angeles before the
bond issue election and thus aid in
paying the cost of the improvement of
San Pedro harbor and the development
of power from the Owens river.
According to city officials, this is the
first time on record that any community
has voluntarily sought the privilege of
helping to pay bond issue.

ROBBERY STORY
NOT ACCEPTED
POLICE SUSPECT WOMAN OF
HOLDING BACK TRUTH
CLAIMS SHE WAS INJURED BY
UNIDENTIFIED MAN
Guest at Downtown Hotel, After Treat
ment at Receiving Hospital,
Relates Queer Tale of
Crime

A woman giving the name of Mrs
Alice Morgan, 80 years old, was brutal
ly attacked and robbed at her room in
the Hotel Chester corner of Fifth and
Spring streets last night, according to
the story she related to detectives at
the receiving hospital where she was
taken for treatment of numerous
bruises about the face.
Mrs. Morgan sustained wound, evil
IDENTIFY a knife stab, above the right
eye, a confusion of the right eye and
an inch laceration below the right eye.
She was in a state of hysteria when
the police ambulance arrived at the ho-
tel. and owing to the suspicious cir
cumstances of the case detectives were
at once put to work.. After her inju
ries had been dressed Mrs. Morgan was
closely questioned, and adhered TO her
original story She stated that she was
sitting alone in her room with the door
locked. when a man entered noiseless-
ly, after unlocking the door with
pass key, and seized her about the
neck.
She struggled was beaten repeatedly
about the head and finally stabbed, ac-
cording to her story, and then lost con-
sciousness. To the police she stated
that she had been robbed of SO and a
diamond ring. and that she had no op-
portunity to note a description of her
assailant.
The fact that Mrs. Morgan had a
number of valuable rings on her fingers
! led the detectives to believe that her
| story was not correct and that robbery
was not the motive for the attack.
Her story of the assault was borne
| out by the cuts and bruises on her
| face, but the police were skeptical as
to how any person could enter room
that was locked and without attract
ing attention stab a woman, who ad-
mitted that she had not retired, but
was sitting in her room.
Detectives detailed on the case were
unable to CLEAN further information or
shake Mrs. Morgan's story last night,
but a further investigation will be
made today. 1t is said that Mrs. Nor
gan's husband lives in Los Angeles, but
he was not located last night.

from Five Days Work.
house Sentence

While the detectives were searching
diligently for George w. Black,
who his wife reported missing Mon
day morning, the much sought man
was being arraigned In police court on
a charge of intoxication, having been
arrested by patrolman Sunday night.
Despite the fact that the man was
sentenced to serve five days in the
workhouse and his name entered on
the blotter and the court records. the
detectives still were unable to find the
missing man, and not until Rev. EN-
NETT, director of religious services at
the Y. NJ. c. A, appeared at the sta
tion to bail out Black was the wife,
who at that time was in the detectives
office, aware of the whereabouts of her
husband.
Black, who is a contractor and lives
at Corona, accompanied his wife to
Los Angeles Sunday afternoon. Imme-
diately on their arrival at the Pacific
Electric depot at Sixth and Main
streets he had a great desire to get a
drink of whisky. Handing his purse to
his wife and keeping some small
change for himself, Black told his wife
to stay in the waiting room o few min
utes while he went after a drink. He
was unable to get whisky because of
the saloons being closed, and boarded
q car for Vernon, where he was told
he could get an unlimited quantity.
While he intended to get only one
drink. Black met several friends, and
when he started back to Los Angeles
to meet his waiting wife he bumped
into a policeman and was taken to the
central police station.
In the meantime the wife was wait
ing at the Pacific Electric depot, and
when Black failed to appear four
hours later she went to the home of
friends.
Monday morning Black awoke in his
cell at the city Jail. The drug store"
whisky he had imbibed at Vernon re-
suited in a severe headache. He was
without money. having given his purse
to his wife, and when he pleaded guilty
in police court. to a charge of being
drunk and was sentenced to pay fine
of $5 or serve five days in Jail he was
forced to accept the Jail sentence
In some manner Rev. Emmett
learned of the predicament of the un-
lucky contractor, and arrived at the
police station yesterday afternoon to
learn that Black had been removed to
the workhouse on the east side to serve
his term. Rev. Emmett paid the fine
of Black. and, having in his possession
an order for the release of the pris-
oner, was leaving the station when he
learned that Mrs Black was in the de-
tectives' office seeking information
regarding her husband. Matters were
explained quickly and the happy
woman accompanied Rev. Emmett to
the east side station, where she met
her husband
