robbed of the prestige it is entitled to
for its superior products.

Is confined to a personal attack on one
Of the writer's Of one of the Portland
papers. 1t is inconceivablc, however,
that the fruit growers, and especially
tine prune growers should continue to
go ahead blindly In the same way in
marketing their products, as they have
been in the past twenty years, in viem
of the fact that up until the last two
years fully sixty to seventy five per
cent Of the prune growers had mort

that an increase in the production Of
prunes, which will throw from -four
hundred million to five hundred mill

in the past, is too inconsistent to be

that the increase in consumption dur

enormous increase in planting.
!" This California 'bugaboo is a mere
eamouflage which is not dcceiving the
prune growers, especially in view of
the fact that ninety to ninety five per
cent of the unorganized growers, on ac.
count Of the lack Of information which
their organized neighbors are able to
secure, took a loss of from $40 to $50
per ton on their last season s crop, and
after these conditions the statement

by Law.

Further evidence that Chattanooga
Is fast becoming a very mecca for

in the office of George Draper, mar
cotic expert, for the department of
justice. The room was crowded with
"dopers" and the corridors on the
outside were also filled. BY actual
count 1872. of the unfortunates were
there begging for some form of
dope" to relieve their sufferings.
They have been coming into the
city by dozens lately, stated Mr..
Draper, and the number of applicants
has greatly increased as a result Of
the governments tightening up on
certain local doctors and not allowing
them to administer drugs as freely as
in the past. 1t is expected that some
very important and sensational ar
rests will be made shortly for vio-
lations of these orders and the cases
are said to involve the names of some
of the most prominent physicians and
doctors in the city.
Mr.. Draper was in conference with
city and county officials this morn
ing on the situation and laid before
them the full facts of the case. Send
ing the addicts elsewhere, he said,
would do no good for it was just as
hard for them to secure dope" there,
and by this failure, would possibly
result in loss of life. Mayor Jesse

CHAMBER DIRECTORS
DISCUSS CHAUTAUQUA
Civic Organization May Spon.
sor Big Tent Events for
1920 Season.

Directors of the Chattanooga Cham
Der of Commerce were to meet in
special called session at 1880 o'clock
Monday afternoon for the consideration
of several important matters. The meet
ing, 1t is understood, has been called
primarily for the purpose of taking
some action upon the matter of spon-
soring the Chautauqua>for the 1920 sea-
son. The suggestion of the Kiwanis
club that the chamber OF commerce
sponsor the event for 1920 will probably
he seriously considered since several of
the directors seem of the opinion that
it will be only proper for the organiza-
ton to guarantee the ticket sale. Bust
ness men seem unanimous In their in
dorsement of the Chautauqua.
Many people seem of the opinion that
the chamber of commerce should pro-
mote the affair in view of the large
membership, which includes to a large
extent, the membership of the other
civic organizations. The Chautauqua
people require a guarantee of about 700
season tickets. These could be alb
sorbed by the membership of the COM
merce organization and no campaign
would be necessary. 1t was hoped that
fifty signatures could be secured and 1t
would then not be necessary for the
Chautauqua to be sponsored financially
by any of the civic organizations. 1t
is stated that more than thirty sigma
lures have already been secured with
little or no effort.

However, he states the product he
made was never whisky, but was
tasteless and lacked any part of be-
ing whisky and was a failure. Mr..
Haley doesn't deny he was attempt
ing to manufacture Whisky, but says
he was rever successful because he

mits that he bought large quantity
of corn and rye for the purpose of
manufacturing whisky.
Haley, In the deposition, states
that as far as he knew Reed and the
other negroes knew nothing about
what he was doing for they never
asked any questions and he never
told them. He said one of the neg
roes helped build the still and the
others remained on the outside. of the
rooms where the distillery was To-
Gated. This deposition will be used
this week at the trial of the negroes.
This deposition is Hailey's first state
ment, he not even taking the stand
in his own behalf in the criminal
court when he was convicted and
sentenced to serve year and a day
for manufacturing whisky. This last
sentence has been appealed to the
supreme court.
