County Central
Committees May
Make Own Choice

Members of the state and con-
gressional central committees of the
two parties in Oregon affected by the
direct primary law must not necessar-
ily be members of the county commit
tees, according to an opinion written
by Attorney General Brown for e. B.
Tongue of Hillsboro, district attorney
for washington county. It has been
the custom for many years, Brown
points out, for county central commit
tees to elect members of the state ccn-
trail committee who are not members
of the county committee, electing them
and the right to do so has never here
tofore been questioned. Under the
laws of Oregon, the opinion states, the
central committees are the highest au-
thorities of their respective parties in
the county. Therefore where no pro-
vision is made in the statute relating
to matters which are to be acted upon
by such committee they have the au-
thortiy to regulate such matters by
proper rules, regulations or reselu-
tions as the representatives of the
members of their respective parties.

Salem Market for
Small Fruits Is
Regarded as Firm

Growers and shippers of this local
ity are skeptical concerning items ap-
pearing in various small district papers
of the state in which Oregon Roya
Ann. Bing and Lambert cherries are
reported to be bringing from AZ to 81
cents per pound on the New York
market.
The article is found in several coun-
ty papers Of the date of Saturday, June
26, and states that the prices men
toned are for fancy pack fruit in ten
pound packets.
Claim California Cherries.
The main reason for disbelief on the
part of local growers is that there were
no reported shipments from this state
two weeks ago, which time would be
required for placing on the market.
Few AIMS are ripe at the present time
and Oregon Bings and Lamberts are
just coming in. California cherries is
the verdict of those who are in touch
with the situation.
The Salen, market for cherries and
other small fruits continues to puzzle
many. Mangis Bros, local shippers,
state that their last contracts were
made at 13 cents and express the be-
Lief that less than 10 per cent of the
sectional crop remains unsold. Mangis
Bros, Hunt Bros. Canning company
and other packers are reported To o>z
the buying market. The Oregon mar
ket at IL to Is cents is regarded az =
leader, the California average being
about 10 cents.
Salem stores are reported to be buy
ing for the retail trade at from s to 8
cents per pound. One firm reported
Friday that they are getting first crop
Bing and pie cherries at six cents in
trade, or five cents cash. These stores
are taking In last pick strawberries at
So to 81 per crate.
Few Small Sales.
On1 few cherry growers owning
small tracts are reported as being COM
PEELED to deal at the lower named fig
ure. One buyer stated that this was
due to the fact that the grower had
held off from the 13-cent figure in
aope Of obtaining more, only t6sAi a
bottom market when buyers retired in
order to protect their assured con-
tracts.
The Salem prune market, If such ex-
lists. seems to hover around 1915 cents
although little trading is reported at
this figure at the present time.
Strawberries went out at very good
mark, market men report, the aver
age price being t6 cents with a few
contracts noted at II.
LOgans Good.
Loganberries remain firm at 10
cents. if buyers reports are to be re-
garded as indicative of the state of
the market. Several small sales are
at II and IL cents, these rates
being to small yards buyers to make
own deliveries.
All growers whose yards were not
injured by the December frost ex-
press general satisfaction concerning
although the man wnose
zines were injured because of early
rellising is made to feel the extent of
lis misfortune at the present time. An
angle to the frost loss, one
grower observes, is that some of the
most careful and progressive growers
n the valley are among the losers, as
hese yards had nearly all been trel-
ised and cultivated prior to the freeze.
