Prurle Crop
In Douglas
Record One
Nine Million Pounds,
One Third Of North
west Yield, Grown
Near Roseburg

Roseburg, Or, Sept. 9.-Douglas
county will produce more than
one-third of the prunes raised in
the northwest this year. according
to conservative estimates made by
those who are familiar with the
facts and figures concerning this
important crop. Douglas county
has started on the harvest of the
largest crop since the year 1916
which was the tanner year IN the
history Of the prune industry The
growers will received over seven
hundred Thousand dollars in ray
ment for their fruit this year.
A conservative aud early esti-
mate places the prune production
Of the orcaagis Of Douglas county
at nine million pounds this sea-
son. Many reliable authorities
state that the nine million mark
will be exceeded. In 12IG The crop
reached the eleven million mark |
which was the largest crop ever
harvested. ijf the nine mliiion |
pounds, two million are petite
prunes and seven million are Ital-
ians.
Nearly All Sold.
Practically The entire crGp has
been sold. Local packing con-
panies have been ysry busy this
year in purchasing prunes ind
have made many contracts and
only few small crops have Lot
been contracted for. As near ~
can be learned the crop will be
almost equally divided among the
packing plant anc the growers, AS

to be handled by each concern will

PARIS. July 28.-The native upris-
ing against the Spaniards In Morocco
has become general throughout the
mineral and agricultural district OF
Kert. according TO dispatch received
here today from Oran.
The rebel tribesmen have artillery
and are reported to be bombarding the
important coast city of Melilla. The
Spaniards are said to have suffered
heavy losses.
Following the capture of Marchiva,
the tribesmen fought their way to the
coast and established positions on Cape
Aqua.
Landing of Spanish re-enforcements
at Melilla has been rendered perilous
by the artillery fire of the Moors.
The insurgents are burning villages
and farmsteads but are not molesting
the inhabitants.
The French government has taken
precautionary measures to guard
against an uprising in French Mo-
rocco Outposts on the Spanish
French line in Morocco have been re-
called for fear they would be attacked
by overwhelming numbers of natives
and massacred.
THE setback which the Spanish
army in Morocco has received is but
an incident In the war which is be-
ing waged against the rebellious
former premier, who is now In Paris.
II am not alarmed over the situation.
The Spaniards were the victims of
traitors. spain has ample means to
continue the struggle and to bring
II to a successful conclusion. We
are determined to carry on and not
abandon our rights"

RIGA, July 28.-Soviet Russia

clared Mr.. Jennings.
During my stay in Moscow / had
conversations with members of the
Soviet supreme council for national
economy regarding the possibility Of
securing financial aid in the United
States and the services of American
engineers.
1T was suggested that an American
mission take complete charge of the
economic efforts of the Soviet govern
ment, organize industry, operate the
railroads, rehabilitate the e country
generally and put the national cur
rency upon a firm foundation.
1.-The whole thing is to be financed
by American capital, payment to be
made upon, a production percentage
basis. The initial expenses would be
obtained through an American loan
TO Russia. If this loan could be ar
ranged, the money would be spent for
the necessary American machinery.
The loan could be amply secured by
jewelry collected by the soviet. The
collection would include the famous
Kremlin exhibition which has taken
centuries TO complete. If all these
rare and valuable Jewels were thrown
upon the jewelry market at one time

collection is valued at billions of
roubles.

What Lenin's Gall Means.

On his recent trip to Germany and
England Mr.. Johnston found the opin-
ion universal among conservative la
Dor leaders that the overthrow of
Lenin would mean civil war by rowing
bands for many years. AS head of
the machinists, Mr.. johnston talked
mostly with skilled labor, but what
we call liberals are In all countries of
the same opinion.
Were Lenin to fall tomorrow. or
after the relief work had admitted a
lot of foreigners hostile to his rule.
the extreme Bolshevik faction would
seize the power and a reign of terror
would begin. Then there would be a
sudden drive from Warsaw, France.
perhaps Rumania, and various other
points, and Moscow might fall.
Whether or not II did fail would
make little difference. You would in
either case have a hopeless situation
an INVASION guerrilla warfare, with
world politics playing for control.
The kind of game these world
forces will be likely 10 play 1 shall
explain tomorrow.
The Washington times., 1921-07-28
Inability to Tell Facts.

The inability to tell which faction
will prevail, however Is illustrated BY
the fact that while Charles II. Crane
is now in Russia, and Senator France
just leaving there, William II. john
son was refused admission. The
meaning was that the extreme faction
did not really appreciate the difference
between Johnston's standpoint and
purpose and the views and purposes
of Gompcrs. To them the A. F. of l..
was all one thing.
Why does the relief administration
have to exact terms that make their
admission doubtful when the Quakers
work steadily in Russia with no terms
at all7
The answer given is that the
Quakers put their relief where the
Soviets tell them to. That may be,
but leading men in the Quaker organ
ization tell me they have nothing
whatever to complain of. Mr.. Ward

made similar statements as, of

the French, for one more effort at

In spite of the danger, however. the

Thinks Griffith is His Uncle

Ira Griffith, driver of a passenger
bus between Newark and Wilmington,
believes that he is nephew of the
William L. Griffith, now living in the
west, who recently, through friend,
wrote to officials in Wilmington, ask
ing for information as to his relatives.
Ira Griffith's father, John Griffith,
lives in Kent county, near Five
Points. His brother, William, went
west about 35 years ago and it is said
his relatives have not heard from
him since.
In the letter recently received,
William L. Griffith is described as 6S
years of age and that he was born
near Five Points and left there in
1884, going west. The letter speaks
of brother, John Griffith, who it is
thought is Ira Griffith's father. The
Griffith in the west Is said to have
amassed considerable property.
Ira Griffith, according to Whining
ton press reports, conferred with j.
Pearce Cam, attorney, yesterday,
who will make an investigation to
learn if William L. Griffith is a
brother of Ira Griffith's father.
