Attempt To Break
Prune Market at
Freewater Failure

Pruncs at Freewater are still being
contracted for at S100 ton despite
the efforts of one buyer to force the
price down by bear story in the
Walla Walla paper this morning, says
$. B. Sanderson, editor and publisher
of the Freewater Times who is in the
city today on business. This buyer. a
new man in the field. tried to break
the backbone of the market and force
growers to dump their fruit on the
market, MIR. Sanderson says. but other
established fruit houses are bidding at
the regular price.
Five hundred carloads will be ship
ped out of the Milton -F'reewater dis
trict this season. in MIR Sandersons $
estimation. This is about the same
amount as was raised last year but the
price is averaging just little higher
than the $3.50 of 1918. Sale of two
choice lots of prunes have been made
at Si27.50 a ton, he says.

Ray Spangle. pendleton trapshootcr.
stood at the top of oregon entries in
the Grand American Handicap shoot
with n percentage of 1920 for 400
registered targets. He was one of 22

G.. w. Lorimer, of Ohio broke 9s
out OF 100 birds in the Grand Ameri-

Spangle shooting from - yards broke
a5 out of 100. tying Jess Troeh, or

Yards Frank Troeh. winner of all the
northwest shoots, made but 90 from
the % yard line. while Jim Seavey.
winner of the state title in Pendleton
last May, was able to break only 50. :
Spangle's showing at Chicago is
considered remarkable in the face OF
the competition. His name appears
thirty-third in the list although only
one other man shooting from 22 yards
broke 95. He should thus be rated
twentieth or twentyfirst as there were
three with ss. two with a7 and II
with 9s scores.

FIRE DAMAGES PLANT
FELL CLEANING WORKS

The cleaning plant and garage be-
longing to George Fell. 42S Bush street,
were destroyed by fire which was dis
covered at 1880 this afternoon and of
uncertain origin. Quick work by the
fire department saved the house in
front of the burning buildings and
nearby residences.
Whether a grass fire from without
ignited the building is not known by
Mrs. Fell. She fears that smoke and
water may have done considerab BILE
damage, although up to press time she
had had no opportunity TO estimate
damage.
The fire department made quick
work of answ ering the alarm and once
n stream was played on the flames
they were quickly eXtinguished.

ANGLER AFTER FISH
HOOKS BIG PELICAN

The old fashioned patent medicine
that cured all ills of man or beast has
its counterpart in the lowly fish hook
At least tales which are told in con-
fidence and occasionally reach the
eager ears of a newsmonger make it
appear so. Henry Hit. Hermiston
confectionery store man and sport
ing goods dealer is the latest to find
u new use for fish hook.
Hit was angling for bass recently
at the government reservoir, his hook
baited with a tempting looking min
now. The line was cast out a long
distance and rode in ON the wind
blown waves to the weeds near the
shore. As the line drifted out of
Hits sight he felt a tugging on his
line.
A tug at the line means reaction
from the business end and Hit re-
taliated by tugging also He hooked
his prey Then for the fight.
When Hit failed to feel himself be-
ing pulled toward deep water by a
gamey bass he thought of Bill Mat
thews, who once caught a mink on
a hook and of John Dunning, whose
was once long black water
snake. So he pulled in slowly and
his catch followed.
Hit may have been surprised when
from behind the bushes strolled pei
lean. hooked in the mouth and strug-
Cling to swallog the minnow and not
the hook and line. He managed to
get hold of the peculiar bird, remove
the hook from his mouth and took
him home.
The pelican made himself comfort
able around Hermiston for time and
was later turned loose by Hit to re-
turn to his old haunts at the reservoir |
