Lumber Co. Ready For ladder

As is shown by the following letter
from Chas. T. Early. general manager
of the company, to r. E. Clanton.
master fish warden, the Oregon Lum-
ber Co. is ready to construct an ade.
quate ladder over its dam at Dee:
"Your deputy, Mr.. Hadley, has just
visited US and served notice on Us to
reconstruct our fish ladder here and
has, with this notice, submitted, or
served. plans as well.
"This is entirely satisfactory to us,
and the writer has given instructions
to proceed Immediately with the work.
All we ask is this: That the Commits
sion protect US against further changes
after this ladder is constructed, as
there are so many different ideas re.
garding fish ladder that another Com
mission might view the situation diff
ferently.
''As for ourselves, we are anxious to
get this matter settled for all time
and we want to construct the ladder as
you have directed, and then we must
want you to stand squarely behind the
plans and construction of this ladder. "

country, the Butler Banking Co. put in

While the heavy demands for labor
In the northwest this season may have
an effect to slightly increase the wages
of strawberry pickers. according to
the Apple Growers Association, no in.
crease will be made in wages of berry
packers. Former seasons packers who
have worked throughout the season
have received Is cents per crate STEADY
pickers, u cents per carrier. Tran
sients, who have spent only few days
in the harvest, have been paid the fol.
lowing rates: Packers, l2a cents
pickers, seven cents.
The strawberry fields draw large
percentage of laborers from families
from Portland and Willamette valley
points. Entire families engage in the
harvest. The pickers begin work in
the Lower Valley district and follow
the rising altitude toward the Upper
Valley. as the crops of the berry fields
mature. 1t is expected that the har-
vest, which will begin about June ],
will be extended to July Is. II
weather conditions continue favorable,
some express shipments may be made
as early as May 25.
Indians from the Warm Springs res
ervation play an important part in the
berry harvest.

OLDER But STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment Of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

'SINNOTT. WORKS FOR
FRUIT INTERESTS

Officials of the Apple Growers Asso-
citation advance the hope that thessem-
barge England has placed on''the ship
ment of fruits from this country to
Copenhagen will be raised before the
shipping season of 1916 is reached.
Representative Sinnott has taken
up the matter in a most aggressive
way, says Wilmer Sieg. HE has taken
q decided stand, and congress is appar-
entity behind him. He expresses the
hope that demands Of fruit interests
will meet with success through chan
nels of diplomacy. Unless diplomacy
operates promptly, the matter will be
taken to the floors of congress for set
tiement, and. it is stated. il there is
going to be an embargo on necessary
fruit and food products to neutral
countries, the embargo will also extend
to munitions of war now going to Eng
land and the allies"
Mr.. Sinnott is being supplied with
all information bearing on the subject
both from the New York Office and the
home Office rof the Association. MIR.
Sieg believes that the British govern
ment has jumped 10 conclusions and
that they have not beenofully informed.
''In past seasons, ",he says fruit
for distribution in Holland, The Meth.
erlands and Scandinavian countriesihas
been exported to Hamburg. the great
free port of Europe. from whence easy
water routes to tributary points were
available. With Hamburg shut out the
territory we have supplied has neces-
sarily looked toward. some different
source. As a result the exports to
Copenkagen have increased. England
has jumped to the conclusion that the
increase to this port has been in excess
of the natural demand and that the
fruit has been routed there for final
consumption in Germany. Such a con-
clusion, however, is far from actual
facts"
