Har.twig Says
Labor Favors
Prison Industry

Organized labor will place no

of an industry at the State prison
for the employment of convicts, il
the industry is so conducted hat
no private individual or corpora
ton will profit therefrom, accord
ing to Otto Hartwig, president of
the State Federation Of Labor
In fact. Hartwig states, organ
lied labor is inclined to encourage
the proposed industry whereby the
convicts will be enabled to earn,
through honest labor, funds for
the support of their dependents
during the period of their incar-
ceration.
THE only thing organized la
Dor asks" declared iHartwig in
commenting upon the proposed in
dustry at the prison, sis that con-
victs employed therein be compen-
sated on a basis somewhat near
that paid to free labor. less the
cost OF their maintenance, and that
the product of their labors be
placed on the market at a price
which will not work hardship
upon private industry with which it
comes into competition"
prison industry. properly con-
Quoted. Hartwig contends, will go
a long way toward solving a long
standing problem in the care of
dependents of conviets, who are
generally the real sufferers when

"Prune Week"
Observed by All
Organizations

The idea of designating a week
| to be known as, "Prune Week" in
oregon is receiving the most hear
ty cooperation of commercial
clubs throughout the state.
At Corvallis the Commercial
club will serve a prune luncheon
for the regular weekly luncheon
Tuesday the 18th, while the Sa-
lem Commercial club will serve it's
prune luncheon Monday the 14th.
C. E. Knowland, King Bing of
the Cherrians announces that the
Cherrians will lend their hearty
support in making Prune week a
success, and just as a starter, the
monthly dinner to be served at
o'clock Monday, Feb. 8, will in
clude mostly prune combinations.
Pullman car diners running in
to Portland will feature prunes
for the week, according to word
Received from the dining car serv-
ice of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads.
Portland daily papers will de-
vote considerable space to the |
prune and Prune week. In Port
land, stores like Olds Workman |
and King, and Meier 6, Frank will
not only put on special sales of
prunes, but will give valuable win !
dow display space to prune ex-
hibits.
And what is of real interest to
this prune section of the state is |
the fact that pruue bread is rap |
idly taking the place of raisin |
bread. Now, instead of helping !
the California growers dispose of '
their raisins. the prune bread has
been found so satisfactory by the /
Salem bakeries that already prunes
used in making bread runs into a |
amount. And prune
bread is just getting under head
way, all of which helps in it way
the great Oregon prune industry.

Smith Alone
OpposesOpe
River Bills
Josephine Co. Senator
Says Compromise
Was Slipped Over
Without Hearing

II anybody Iabors under the i'm
preston that the Rogue River
fish fight has been anicably set
tied, that person has never con-
suited the sentiments Of tho sports
men of Grants Pass, according to
Senator Smith, who, in opposing
the passage Of House Bill No. 6, by
Sheldon, declared that Grants Pass
was still in the fight. and did not
enter into any compromise which
gave TO Rederick Moe Leary mo-
nopoly on the commercial fishing
on the river as, he alleged, the
Sheldon bill did.
In spite of Smiths opposition,
however. the senate passed the
bill with only the senator from
Josephine county voting against
the measure.
Grants Pass was never asked to
sit in on any conference over the
Rogue River controversy. Smith
declared, insisting that the only
invitation ever extended was one
to come up to Medford to view
the remains Of the Grants Pass
fishing industry and to swallow
the dose which had been concoct-
ed by the Medford conference.
Senator Thomas It was charged,
by Smith, had refused to let him
inspect his compromise bills be-
cause there were certain provisions
contained therein which he desired
to keep secret.

Realty Activities
Through County
Now Increasing

with spring near at hand, mem.
bers of the Marion County Real.
tors association report increased
activity along real estate lines.
Carl Becke, member of the firm
| of Hendricks K Beck, stated that
tho total amount of sales made by
his concern during the last weeks
was $4,000. This included the
sale of city and farm property in
| Marion county, and one farm in
the northern part of Clackamas
county.
The winter weather has been

Immediately has doubts as to its

does, the weather conditions and
character of the soil. Some of the
best river bottom land is at pres
ent under water, but it is hard to

know this country, of the valuable
character of that soil"
Osher members of the realty as
sociation report a general increas-
ing activity. The change of hands
of the "a Y acre tract owned by
Arthur II. Peterson for $12,5O0,
was another feature of real estate
activities within the last two
weeks. AS soon as the weather
permits, increases in exchange are
expected

taken it upon themselves to right

ter and productiveness of the soil
in the willamette valley and at
the next meeting will consider a
definite plan of advertising. This,
they hope, will do a great deal to-
ward bringing immigrants from
all parts of the United States this
spring and summer.
Inquiries from Canada, Iowa,
and North Dakota are being re-
ceived in great numbers by mem
bers of the association who are
sending out all available literature
with the hope of turning these in |
quiries into real prospects. Every
effort will be made by the associa- |
tion to inform strangers of the de- |
velopments in industry and agri-
culture, so that no one will come |
