Early High Prices Paid for
Prunes Not Repeated Now

|
Portland prune crop outlook in
the Northwest is entirely satisfactory
and record crop now seems assured.
One of the leading packers estimates
the yield at 10000, 900 pounds. The
largest crop heretofore was about 3d.
900, 600 pounds, produced eight or nine
years ago. Since that time many new
orchards have come in. Because of
the increase in acreage, even if the
crop were on a parity with last years,
the above estimate, it is believed,
would be realized.
The market at the present time is
weak and the future for values is not
SO bright. There was considerable
early contracting, packers paying the
growers 81 to cents for 30-35s, with
a quarter-cent drop for each count of
Is. These were the highest prices
paid for many years, and between 25
and 30 per cent of the crop was signed
up, but the quotations are not obtain
able now. In fact the leading packers
are out of the market as buyers for
the reason that they are unable to get
orders from the East. Jobbers in the
Eastern states bought only limited
quantities, owing to the high prices,
but they declare they have enough
prunes engaged for the present, and
are satisfied there are more prunes to
be had later on the Coast than are re-
quired for United States consumption.
Furthermore, they assert there will be
no export business done in the article
this year.
The high prices prevailing early in
the season were ascribed to the uncer-
tainty as to the Northwestern tonnage,
and the fact that the California mar
ket was then ruling high. This en-
abled Northwestern packers to do a
fair amount Of business at very good
figure.

Saved millions of oysters that
bunglesome Nature would have
destroyed!
Such is Prof. Trevor Kincaid s
contribution to the states table
and to oyster culturists' profits.
The United States Bureau of
Fisheries wanted to find out how
the bivalves could be conserved.
Kincaid, biologist of the Univer-
sity of Washington and interna-
tionally known. worked with the
bureau.
He learned that myriads of
baby oysters died annually be-
cause the beds in which they
were bred were not supplied at
just the proper time with the
"cultch" of old shells to which
they attach themselves.
He did 1t with microscope and
a dip net, substituting scientific
accuracy for bunglesome guess
work.
If the old shells are cast into
the oyster beds too soon they be-
come moss covered and the little
oysters cannot cling to them when
they are ready to settle down to
the business of growing fat.
Ii thrown in too late the tiny
bivalves have already persisted
by millions for lack of proper an
chorage.
Simple, isn't it! And yet no one
had ever tried to find out the
cause of the great oyster bed
wastage.
Now, armed with q gauze net
and magnifying glass, any man
can determine to exactitude the
time to put the "cultch" In his
oyster beds.
Fuller soup bowls and scailop
pans will testify to this triumph
of biology and the professor who
rolled up his sleeves.

CHICAGO, Aug. He
wanted to be boy again and
he would spend a million a
day if he could do the things
he used to do!
This is the explanation given
here for the gold debauch and
eight-year spree of Edward Nor
rison, the pauper-millionaire, the
S2-year-old man, formerly a sea
rover, who inherited 100000
and is now the principal in a
bankruptcy case.
No more lurid melOdrama
will be staged behind foot
lights this season than this
case, which reveals the folly
of an old man, the cupidity
of men in professional cir
cles. the crookedness of po-
lice and besmirches the char
acter of two innocent girls,
adopted daughters of the
prOdigal patriarch.
From Hong Kong, Calcutta,
London and Patagonia where
young Ed Morrison, sailor and
adventurer, gave youth its fling
more than so years ago, the tale
threads its way back to Chicago
to find the world-traveler living
like recluse in the dingy frame
cottage in which he was born.
Lives Like a Recluse.
The cottage is barricaded
and guarded by 20 dogs and
Waterman.
The old man was master of
millions when he barricaded
himself i'm the cottage several
years ago. There was no
loved one to share ii, no kin
TO claim il.
Morrison was alone in his
cottage with OLD AGE and
he was afraid of it. He tried
to buy back his youth with
gold.
Chase Begins.
The fantastic chase began eight
years ago.
1t soon became known that
Cap. Morrison was an easy mark
with money"
Flies buzzed about the money
pots. Shyster lawyers mulcted
him for thousands, policemen and
women of the street framed up"
scandals and collected thousands
of hush money" Morrison paid
$4,000 to recover "stolen bonds"
that never existed.
Just settle and don't bother
me about money" he told those
who handled his affairs.
The sharks Joined the flies
fake doctors, leaders in the motor
ious sun cult, women in distress,
widows and orphans borrowed or
stole the Morrison millions.
But He Has Good Time.
But Dad" Morrison was hav-
ing a good time.
His way was paved with gold
wherever he went. If he smashed
a barroom window, check for
$500 would be considered easy
settlement. If he ordered wine
he was charged triple prices.
One of his pet diversions,
according to testimony, was
kicking out cab windows.
He never rode in takes.
