Prune Factors Are In
Deadlock Over Price

In spite of a rise in the price with
in the week there is still deadlock
between western growers and this is
enabling Oregon dealers to break into
the markets that have never been open
to them before, says J. o. Holt, man
ager of the Eugene Fruit Growers as
sociation.
Mr.. Holt is inclined to the belief
that the growers will eventually have
to come down in their expectations.
He points out that the estimated crop
for California is 16O,OO0,OOO pounds,
and of Oregon propably 25,00O,OOO,
making a total of 1S5,000,000 pounds.
The entire domestic consumption is
only about 1O0,0O0,00O pounds. The
export last year was 50,000,000, but
will be cut in half this year, leaving a
surplus over consumption of some GO
million pounds.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says:
"The deadlock between the coast
growers and packers of prunes contin.
ues to be the controlling factor of the
local market.
"Looked at from this distance the
growers seem to hold the whip hand,
although the trade disagrees with their
idea of value. Within few days the
packers have conceded cent basis,
but, even at that, cannot move the
growers to any general trading spirit
and it looks as though the latter can
safely sit steady in the boat and wait
There will be no activity here till some
thing breaks away ON the coast"

Nominee to Make a
Determeind Fight
For Commission

Portland, Or, Sept. l.-E. L. Van
Dresar, who was made the Democratic
nominee for election as public service
commissioner for the western district,
will make the race for election, accord
ing to his announcement today Mr..
Van Dresar will be compelled to 90
east on business for several weeks, but
upon his return will commence an ac-
tive campaign Tor election in Novem-
Der. He will run in opposition to Fred
j. Buchtel, who defeated Thomas X
Campbell for the Republican somina-
ton.
"Although l was not candidate,
the Democratic party saw fit to nom
mate me for public service commission
er in the western Oregon district by
writing my name on the ballot in the
May primaries, Mr. Van Dresar said.
"Such spontaneous exhibition of con-
fidence and good will can not be light
ly set aside. 1t seemed at first inn
possible for me to accept on account
of increasing business duties. I have
taken more than three months to con-
slider the situation and finally have
been able to perfect arrangements
whereby | am at liberty to show my
appreciation of this unsought honor
and make the race for election in No
vember.
"The office of public service COM
missioner IS purely business office,
in no wise political. Personally / re.
gret to see any change in this body
at any time, as i firmly believe the
interests of the state are best served
by men of experience gained through
long continued service in handling
public utility affairs.
However, the Republicans of this
district have decreed there shall be a
change; this being the case l feel
that with more than % years. expert
ence in transportation, manufacture
and shipping, j am better fitted tc
enter upon the duties of this office
than any man whose knowledge Of
public utilities is purely political.
81 believe further that it void be
better for the state if this office was
entirely removed from politics in the
| same manner as the Interstate Com
merce commission, but as this is moi
possible under our present laws, ther
| it seems to me the next best thing il
to make the board bipartisan instead
of keeping it all Republican, as it has
| been for several years, and as it will
continue to be unless | am elected this
fall.
"Much his been said al vsriou:
times regarding the unfillingness OF
business men to enter politics or ac
cept public office. I propose now tC
test the full sincerity of this com
plaint by accepting this nomination

COUNTY SUES
STATE OFFICIALS
Demands PAYMENT Of $l5,.
53l.97 As Its Portion Of
Grazing Receipts

An action has been filed in the cir
cult court to compel Secretary of State
Olcott and State Treasurer Kay to pay
Baker county $l5,531.97 of the 25 per
cent of forest reserve grazing receipts
paid by the federal government to the
state. The complaint alleges that un-
der the federal law of 1906 but 10 per
cent of the receipts from grazing per-
mits, timber sales, etc., from forest re.
serves were paid to the state, to be
turned over to the counes in which
the reserves are located. On Febru-
airy 20, 1907, the Oregon legislature
passed an act for the apportionment of
TINS 10 per cent of forest reserve mon
ey, providing that when reserves were
located in more than one county the
share paid to each county should be in
proportion to the total derived from
the reserve, as the area within the
county to the total area of the reserves.
On May 20, 1908, the federal act was
amended and provision made for the
payment of % per cent of the receipts
from the federal reserves to the vari-
GUS states.
The Baker county complaint charg-
es that since 1908, to 1915, the secre-
tary of state and the state treasurer
have paid the counies 10 per cent ac-
cording to the state law, apportioning
tne remainder of the % per cent to
other counties. The county asks that
the state be required to pay the diff
ference between what il has received
on 10 per cent basis and what it is
entitled to under the federal act, ap.
proXimately $4,000.
