Portland, Or, June 15.--Frank NJ
Warren, OF the oregon state fish com
mission, rendered his resignation as
chairman Of that body at yesterdays
meeting, Chris Schmidt Of Astoria was
elected to succeed him. Mr.. Warren
assigned as his reason for relinqulsh-
ing the chairmanship the Illness Of his

Polk County Cherry Pool
Sold; Big Contract For
Loganbenies Is Closed

The Polk county cherry pool, to-
falling about 200 tons of cherries.
wasesold yesterday evening to an out.
side buyer. The price was not an
nounced.
This represents the bulk of the
cherries grown on the Polk county
hills west of the city of Salem. This
section is natural cherry section
and the class of cherries grown here
have for several years past been not
ed for their excellent flavor, as well
as size and keeping qualities. An ex-
pert who has received cherries for
years has repeatedly stated that in
only one place in the world has he
seen better looking cherries and
those were cherries thar he saw one
year Il a little valley in France.
While the crop in some sections
surrounding the city, particularly on
the lowlands, is light, the crop of ev-
eryone of the gro xers represented in
the pool is unusually heavy this year
and pickers who will be fortunate
enough to pick these orchards will
have excellent picking.
Picking prices were fixed by men,
bers of the pool at a substantial ad-
vance over last years picking. For
the bulk of the crop, the price was
fixed at two cents. with a bonus of a
quarter of a cent for those who stay
throughout the season. Some of the
orchards represented will probably
have three weeks steady picking.
While in other orchards, where the
trees are thinly set. somewhat higher
picking rates will be paid, the mem
bers of the pool believe that at the
rates fixed the pickers will be able
to make more money per day than ev-
er before.
According to present prospects
picking of Royal Annes will begir
July 1st, although the earlier variet-
les will probably be harvested before
that time.
This is the secoad large bunch oil
cherries to be marketed outside OF
the city this year. 1t is understood that
the larger part of the pool Of 400 tons
of the oregon Growers association
was disposed of to outside buyers q
few days ago. No price was announc-
ed in that case. In addition to the
cherry sales rumors pertaining to the
Oregon Growers Cooperative associa-
tion it is generally reported that the
cooperative group has disposed of Q
pool of 600 tons of berries, although
the price received is withheld.

Armenians Are
Unprotected by
Turk Armistice

Adana, June 15.-Consterntiaon pre-
walls among the christians in Cilicia
as the result of the twenty day armis-
tice between the French and Turkish
nationalists, which included no clause
for the protection of the Armenians,
who it is declared, were told by the
French that they must negotiate for
themselves. The armistice had been
broken in numerous places by June 3
and the greatest confusion exists.
A message from Hadjin, dated May
2S, indicates that the American work.
ers surrendered their compounds to
the Turks two months previously and
that they have been living under the
rule of the nationalists without the
right of communicating with the out
side world.
The fate of the Armenian orphans
at Hadjin is not known, although
there are reports among the Turks
that the boys were killed and the girls
taken to Caesarea (Kaisarieh,)
The Armenlans express belief that
the armistice is prelude to COM
plete evacuation of the district by the
French, leaving them at the mercy
of the nationa1ists, who are enraged /
because they allege the French induc-
ed the Armenians to fight.
Since President Wilson'S acceptance
Of the task of fixing the Armenian
boundaries the nationalists according
to reports from the interior, are APP
parently less kindly disposed toward
the Americans and are affording few
er facilities for communication with
the relief workers.
