Looking Through a Tunnel.

The little circle of the world you see
when you are looking through the
length of a tunnel is always beautiful
by contrast. No matter If it is only
a stretch of track with a few scrubby
trees and an arch of blue sky above
II, you, looking from the blackness Of
the tunnel, think it a picture worthy
an artists brush. To the sick good
health seems happiness enough, and
those who are in trouble ask nothing
better than a mind free from care.
But sensible people do not need to be
deprived of life's blessings In order
to appreciate them.

.PRUNE SITUATION
ALL UP IN THE AIR
Senator's Wire What The War
Department Wants But
Nothing Definite

A telegram from Senator Charles H.
MeNary and also one from Senator
Chamberlain was received this morn
ing relative to the unsettled prune
situation in wiricn II is stated that the
government will take 2S,000,000 pounds
of prunes and soon release the remain
der for civilian trade.
While on the face of the two tele-
grams everything looks lovely, prune
packers say this morning that every
thing is still up in the air and that it
seemed as if the food administration
was doing its best to make the prune
situation in the Willamette valley as
hard on the growers and packers as
possible.
The wire from Senator McNary to
the Drager Fruit Co. and the Salem
Fruit Union is as follows "Food ad-
ministration advises me that 10000
600 pounds of 40-50's eommandeered
on agreed basis of So cents in 25 pound
lots Instructions for shipping ISSUES
Immediately. Rest of crop except 49,
100000 pounds that go to the allies,
can go to civilian trade. !"
The telegram from Senator Cham
berlain received by August Huckestein
this morning reads: "War department
and food administration have made
allotments and given orders to take
care of 2s,0Q0,000 pounds . Oregon
prunes and release balance of crop for
commercial purposes. If those orders
are not received promptly advise with
Mr. Aver, food administrator at Port
land.
| Now the fact is, Notwithstanding
these two kilograms. packers are up
in the air worse than ever and are alb
solutely doing nothing No packer
knows how much he will be called on
as his proportion of the 2S,000,000
pounds and until there is some defi-
mite information just what the govern
ment will take, they are obliged to
lay down and await some definite de-
cisiop by the federal food admimstra-
tion. On the strength of the two tele-
grams, there is not box of prunes

packers, it must be remembered that
since early in the season the food ad-
ministration has been issuing orders
that have confused things in the val
