or L. C. Eastman of Silverton was
finished in Judge George G. Bing-
hams court at 500 yesterday even
ing after nearly the whole day had

This is a suit in which Or. JTeis-

$500 by reason of water accumuiat-
ing in the basement under the Sill

Road w Work
Depends On
Polk Court
Completion Of Salem
Dallas Paving Up To
People, Highway
Board Says

Dallas, Or, Mar. 17.--Completion
Of the paving of the Salem Dallas
road. work on which was stopped
last summer by the controversy
over road matters in Polk county
between the people of the county
and the state highway commission,
rests entirely with the people 'cf
Polk coInty.
This is the announcement of the
highway commissioners, who visit
ed Dallas on their tour of inspection
of the Pacific and West Sid high
ways Tue sday.
The commission announced Cna,
II Polk county would fulfill the
agreement previously entered into
With the highway commission to
prepare the roadbeds, the paving
operations would be resumed.
Putting to rest rumors that the
paving plant at Rickreall was to be
dismantled and moved, the com
mission said that ie the county
carried out its part of the road
making agreement and thus en-
abled the paving work to proceed
without further extended delay the
plant would not be moved.
These announcements were made
to-a gathering Of Polk county citi-
zens in the Dallas Commercial club
roms, where the entire state road
building program for this county
was discussed.
No intimation of what would be
the action of the highway commits
sion In definitely locating and com
pleting the West Side highway
through Polk county was made by
the commission, although they lis
tened to arguments of the people
present for a relocation of the high
way route which would put Dallas
on the highway.
A proposal that Polk county pay
for the two miles of pavement a.
ready laid in the vicinity of Nc
Coy on the present route OF the
highway if a relocation via tnS
Dallas route were made brought no
statement from the commission.
The Dallas route was argued as
being in conformity with the COM
missions recent decision to build
over the most direct and most trnv-
eled route, inasmuch as the COM
mission had gone two and a half
miles out of its way to include Nc
Minnville on the highway through |
Yamhill county.
The reply of the commission to
the charge that, McMinnville had
been included on the highway, all
though off the most direct route,
and that Dallas should therefore
be afforded the same consideration,
was that two wrongs do not make
right.

Extra Property
Tax For Linn
County Sure

Crabtree, Ore, Mar. H. IMAM
imous approval of the proposed ex-
ira property tax in Linn county to
enable the county court to repair
and prevent damage to the county
road in the vicinity of Sanderson's
bridge, and to construct the pro-
posed Harrisburg bridge was ac-
corded at meeting of nearly 100
farmers held at the Harmony
Grange hall. The farmers voted
to approve whatever extra millage
the county court might deem nee
essary for the successful compile
ton of these projects, with other
necessary work.
A committee, composed of I. II.
Copeland, Frank NJ. Powell and f.
D. Cornett, was appointed to inter-
view the state highway commits
sion regarding the alteration, when
ever the opportunity for the inter-
view affords itself.
The committee will attempt to
get into touch with the commits
sion during its visit here.
The farmers made preliminary
plans for the entertainment of the
highway commission, should the
commissioners decide to inspect
the Sanuam road and proposed
new Albany-Lebanon route. 1t was
planned TO serve the commission
ers and their party at a noon
luncheon. but because it was not
known today just what will be the
course Of the commission, the en-
tertainment plans are incomplete.

Farm Bureau
Organization

Dallas, March 17.-That Polk
county is not tagging in support OF
the Farm Bureau movement was
evidenced by a meeting of local
committeeman at the Bureau Of
flee in Dallas recently. The men
were called together by c. 1. Bal
lard, as leader of the organization
project, and the day given to
working out detailed plans for a
membership canvas of all organ
lied sections of the county.
Calvin Ingle. organization man
ager of the State Farm Bureau,
was present to advise on some OF
the recent developments Of the
movement in a state and national
way and to prepare the men for
their solicitation work in the field.
Some of the results secured in
membership campaigns in other
valley counties, as pointed out by
Mr.. Ingle, show in most certain
terms the foothold the Farm
Bureau movement is gaining in
the country. Few would have pre-
dicted that conservative Linn
county would have secured over
1000 members at $40 each, 1900
in Washington or 1900 nj Clack-
amas

divided into districts for each of
which two workers were provided.

Aurora Starts
Building New
High Shool

Aurora Mar. 1.-The initial step
toward a new high school building
in this city was taken more than a
year ago. and has met with nu-
merous obstacles from one source
and another. So strong had been
the opposition at times that hope
of furthering educational oppor-
tunities in Aurora was almost
abandoned. But it has reached
a point of absolute certainty now
and the first manual labor in that
direction was started a few days
ago when Surveyor Knox, of Wood
burn, came here to survey the
ground where the new building is
to be erected He was assisted in
the work by A. Fl. Giesy, of Port
land. who appeared in the interest
of his sisters, of whom the land
was purchased.
Pursuing the work of surveying
afforded a lot of satisfaction to ad-
vocates of higher education because
it seemed to stamp the seal of
victory upon their efforts.
Now that the high school is as
sured for Aurora, an effort is be-
ing made to establish union high
school where several districts in
north Marion and south Clacka-
mas counties may be benefited.
A meeting was held last Saturday
-, aiHa n
other meeting at which time defi-
mite plans will be made for the
unionization of the several school
districts interested.
George Mcfarland, manager of
the Fargo Orchard company, was
in town a few days ago, and like
everybody who travels the road
between Fargo and Aurora. regis
tered the usual kick. The roads
are so bad, he said, that he was
obliged to drive out on the Donald
Butteyille road to reach the gra-
veled highway.
Reports coming from Oregon
City are to the effect that consid-
cradle work will be done on the
Marks Prairie and Meradian roads
this spring. 1t is said that both
are sadly in need of improvement.
The acreage of loganberries in
this vicinity, it is said, will not be
increased as much as was expect
ed last fall. although several new
fields are being planted.
Mrs. j. H. Kraus was taken to
the Oregon City hospital last week

Her two children are sick with

Shipment Of
Prunes East
Light-P audus

r. C. Paulus, sales manager of
the oregon Growers Cooperative
association sizes up the present
prune market as follows:
"Sales of prunes. car load lots
o b on the coast have been light
the past two or three weeks, in
spite of the general movement of
ali dried fruits to almost all mar
kets from the wholesale houses to
the retailers.
This condition of the market is
due largely to the fact that many
wholesale houses have lost money
this past season on shipments
from the coast and they do not
feel like buying new stocks on an
uncertain market,
''The loss of these wholesale
houses In the east was caused by
the decline in the price of prunes
from the time of purchase on the
coast until delivery in the east,
three or four weeks later.
This continual decline in the
price OF prunes in the New York
market has led many buyers TO
feel there is a tremendous surplus
Of prunes on the coast and the
continual cutting Of prices when
unnecessary. has confirmed them
In this belief.
Hence, with their past expert
ence of buying b on the coast
and then with a falling market
and heavy loss before prunes could
be delivered in New York, heavy
buyers have been unwilling to
take on new stocks.
I'm the meantime prune stocks
are being gradually consumed and
this looks well for future business.
II is a source of satisfaction to
know that the advertised brand of
Alistland' prunes, and the super
Tor pack of this brand. has enabl-
ed New York brokers to sell fre.
quently at from half a cent to one |
cent a pound above regular market !
