his appearance may not indicate great
prosperity-but appearances often
count for naught.
Let us extend welcoming hand to
all. Let us tell frankly of conditions
in order that the man drawn to oul
district may know just what to count
on. Then if he remains, well and
good, and if he does not think con

he departs for other places more fit

LOGANBERRY PRICE SET
GROWERS AGREE TO GREEN
FRUIT AT THREE CENTS.
More Intense Organization Sought in
Effort to Force Demands and
Closer Pooling.

The Oregon Loganberly Growers
association, representing one-third of
the growers of the berry in the state
and more than two-thirds of the en-
tire output, at meeting in Salem on
Tuesday unanimously adopted reso-
luton providing that the members
shall not accept a price from indie
pendent buyers of less than 3 cents
a pound for green fruit. 1t was
further decided that the board of di-
rectors appoint member of the as
sociation as an official sales agent,
with power to enter into contracts
with the members and other growers
for the sale or pooling of their crops,
ed.
The meeting was presided over by
W. i. Bentley, president of the as
sociation. Thirty-five members were
enrolled, making a total membership
of 105. The association was organiz-
ed several months ago, its purpose
being the protection Of its members
and the exploitation of the fruit, so
there would be adequate demand for
the output. Because of large in-
crease of acreage this year, it was
feared that the price of the berry
might be so low as to make the indus
try Improbable. Announcement was
made at the meeting that growers
were being offered 2112 cents pound
for this years crop and that the price
was not fair one, considering SELL
ing conditions. The wholesale price
of canned fruit, it was asserted, has
not been reduced, since cents a
pound was paid to the growers, and
it was argued that the price this
year should not be lower than that.
A committee was named to com
municate with growers not affiliated
with the association to induce them to
become members. 1t is the belief of
the dealers that the organization will
become such power that the prices
demanded by it will be obtained.

SOME ATTRACTIONS WITH POL
Low & M'CLALLAND.

The Pollow & McClalland carnival
attractions will omen in Dallas on
June 16 for a week, and if press no.
tees from various localities through
out the coast country are any criter-
ion by which to judge their merits
the shows are above the average. The
leading attraction is an animal show,
wherein are several varieties of mon
keys, a young baboon Of large size,
raccoon, badger, an ant bear
several guinea pigs and rabbits, and
an odd appearing member of the cat
family. One cage has monkey, a
common cat, a rabbit, two guinea
pigs and a puppy dwelling happily
together. A pen of odd turtles, ter
rapins, water-dogs and gila monsters
is an additional feature.
The snake show always attracts at
tention. In this are a number of
twisting, crawling reptiles, including
big diamond-back rattlesnakes, four
or five water mocassins, four or five
sacred black snakes, small gopher
snake and a gila monster. The fangs
have been extracted from the rattle
snakes mouths, rendering them harm
less. A woman handle both the
snakes and the gila monster fearless
ly
Every carnival has the glassblow-
ers. and the Pollow & McClalland
shows are no exception. Two expert
workmen make tiny glass ships, vases,
pipes, whistles, and other delicate
trinkets, and each visitor is given a
souvenir.
The transformation of a stone
statue into a living woman, turning
the woman into stone, then turning
the statue into a trellis of roses, is
said to very interesting, even if the IL
lusion has been witnessed many times
before. The living statue posing and
the fire dance is also with this show.
With the carnival will come the us
ual number of concessions, one be-
ing trick stairs. This concession is
presided over by two girls, one selling
balls to be thrown at a small target,
and the other sitting at the top of the
flight of trick stairs. When a ball
strikes the target, the girl at the top
of the stairway is catapulted to the
bottom. There will be barkers for
the various attractions, balloon men,
free-act men, and bunch of others.
The company travels with its own
train, and will arrive in Dallas on
Monday, June 10.

Women Will Enter Campaign.

The Local Woman's Christian lem

while definite arrangements have not
been perfected they will be consum-

Thnmnson Leases Hotel.

J. B. Thompson of this city, who
recently bought The Hammel hotel at
Albany. has leased the hostelry to B.
R. Westbrook for a term of years.
In speaking of the deal the Albany
Herald says: "Mr. Thompson retains
his interest in the building and will
live at the hotel Hammel. In speaking
of the deal, Mr.. Thompson said he
had expected to get a younger man
to take the active management of the
hotel and that he is very well salts
fed with the investment. Mr.. Thomp-
son has income property that will give
him an ample income and claim his
attention and he thinks he will ENJOY
his residence in Albany"

PRUNE PRICES SLUMP.
Crop in Northwest Shows Very Little
Improvement.

The excitement that characterized
all prune markets a few weeks ago
has largely subsided, says a Portland
paper. Export interest could not be
aroused at the high prices named and
these circumstances have united in
taking some sof the bullishness out of
the market. Values are now being
readiusted in accordance with the
probable supply and demand.
So far as the Northwestern sit
uation and crop estimates are concern
ed there has not been much change.
However, it is believed there will be
more prunes than were figured upon
a month ago. One packer has raised
his estimate on the crop of the North
west to 100000 pounds. A very
limited amount of business is being
done, as packers will not buy now at

1t is generally conceded that tn
California crop will be considerably
larger than was estimated, and that
market has slumped l cent pound.
Packers have offered to sell California
prunes, equal quantities 40s to Cos,
at 5 5-9-cent base. Eastern dealers
will not take hold, even at this figure.

Schools
When 1 asked Mr.. A. o. Nelson, the
hustling, red-headed, wide-awake
leader of cooperation in Svea, what
was their rural school tax, he almost
struck me dumb when he answered
promptly:
Seventeen mills or $1.7O on the
500 of property"
or course, this is something un-
usual. 1t is in fact, nearly double the
local school TAX the Svea folks usual
ly pay. Two or three years ago, how
ever, they decided they wanted a.
handsome new building and industrial
features-agriculture for the boys
and domestic science for the girls
together with transportation of pupils
living over two miles from the school
(two miles in 'blizzardy Minnesota
winter is the equivalent of four miles
in the South) and so the folks didn't
say, as 1 fear they would have said
munities. well, we have got to the
thirty-cent limit for local school tax
and they ain't nothing more we can
do" The State of Minnesota, realiz-
ing that the education of the people
is the life of State, imposes no such
hampering limitation upon the tax its
people may vote for education; and
the people of Svea set no such miser-
ly limit upon their support Of schools
for their boys and girls. One dollar
and seventy cents on each $100 worth
of property was the tax they voted
although they had only one school
organization Of keep up. Our South-
ern communities with two separate
school systems to maintain frequently
boast themselves nightly for voting
'irty-cent tax on themselves. We
Southerners have simply got to go
down into our jeans for more money
if our farm boys and girls of the new
generation are not to be hopelessly
Outdistanced by the thoroughly equip
ped, practically trained boys and girls
of other sections.
Eight months term a year with two
teachers-a man who teaches agricul-
Dture, q woman who teaches domestic
science; compulsory attendance from
eight to sixteen; free text books for
all pupils; good school library; re-
productions Of noted pictures on the
wall-all these together with a pros
pective eight-acre school farm, have
the farm parents of Svea provided for
their boys and girls; and we Of the
South can provide similar opportuni-
ties for our children whenever we are
willing to make similar sacrifices-or
investments. And twenty years from
now we shall have an intellectually
richer country if we are willing TO
make such investment sacrifices than
if we are not.-Clarence Poe, in The
