FIRST SHIPMENT OF
PRUNES TO ENGLAND
Drager Fruit Company Has
Car Ready---Prunes Too
Large for English Market

The first carload Of prunes to bo
shipped to England this year from
Salem is now being boxed by the
Drager Fruit company, Three more
carloads of 10000 pounds each have
been ordered and will be shipped this
fall. There were GO carloads of dried
prunes shipped from this city last year
and the indications are that only a
small per cent Of this number will be
shipped this year. The extreme fertility
Of the Willamette valley and its adapt
ability to prune growing is largely
responible for the few English orders
this year. Prunes are sold with prices
in proportion to the size Of the product
and though there was but one-fourth
of crop in the Northwest this year the
prunes were exceptionally large. Large
prunes are more or less OF luxury in
England this year and though the local
growers would have little trouble in
disposing Of the smaller prunes the
high grade choice article is slow in
moving.
Prunes arc not oe1trabad Of wal
and can be shipped freely to England
without exorbitant insurance rates but
no German orders are coming in. The
unsettled condition Of the European
situation is thought to be largely
responsible for the dullness Of the prunt
market. For the first time in the his
tory of the prune business the Oregon
prune is selling for higher prices thar
the California prune. Oregons are
quoted at from to 5la cents PEI
| pound while the Native Sons can gel
but 4 S.4 to s cents for their product.

estimated at from S250,000, 900
TO $500,000,000.

Russians were victorious in the

But it was costly victory for
the czar, since the German cam.

ARMIES $50 MILES
BEYOND FRONTIER
Germany Taking the Offensive
Puts Sudden End to Rus
sian Hopes
(ByJ. w. T. Mason, former Lon
don correspondent Of the
United PressQ

New York, Oct. H. Ger
many's campaign in Russian Po-
land, which is now beginning to
develop offensive strength, has
been conducted in its early
stages with great skill.
1t seems evident that the ad-
vance on Warsaw was masked
skillfully by operations 100 to
150 miles farther north, in the
Niemen river district.
The Russians apparently mis-
took the German advance toward
the Nieman as the kaiser's main
attack. The petrograd general
staffs eyes were not opened even
by the strange circumstance that
its second and third class fort
ressed in this region were able
successfully to resist the Ger
mans at the same time that vast
ly more powerful Belgian and
French Notifications were fall
ing before them. Of course ii is
evident now that the reason for
this lay in the slenderness Of the
German forces sent into the Me
men river country.
While the Russians were hur-
rying overwhelming armies into
Suwalki province to resist the
Niemen river advance and
triumphantly driving the kais-
er's troops back into East Prus-
sia, the real German offensive
was developing against Warsaw.
Russians outgcneraled
The Germans appeared today TO have
pushed armies Of great strength praeti-
oally without resistance l50 miles past
their frontier TO the Vistula, on which
is situated the entrenched enmp Of
Warsaw. IL
In the meantime such energies as
the Russian general staff was not do
voting to its Niemen river operations
were being exertcd TO hasten the ad-
vance Of the czar's troops through Ga
lici0,
In short, the Russians we're moving
forward In the north and south with
supreme optimism, as official reports
showed, iubilant at the inability Of tho
Germnns In East Prussia or the Aus
trions In Galica 60 stand against them
and promising themselves 10 be In Ber.
