Salem, "loveliest city of the Willam ette Valley." so quondam poets have sung, la without a poet, or without one who desires to go on record. The Cherrians, desirous of having an indi vidual song with which to make the welkin ring at home and abroad, an nounced today that because local poets had declined to enter the contest, the offer of a prlxe would be extended to the bards of the state. George H. Graves, one of the chiof tains of the Cherrians, originated the idea and contended that the con testants should be limited to Salem residents, but lie reluctantly admitted today that a great mistake had been made. Me says there are either no poets in the city, or the $10 cash prize is not sufficiently alluring. "I thought sure when the offer was made." continued Mr. Graves, "that it would tempt such poets as Colonel Cradlebaugh and Colonel Hofer, .but they, with all the rest, have ignored us.. What we want is a good snappy rhyme appropriate for the Cherrians to sing to some popular air." WOMAN IS OUT FOR OFFICE Yamhill County Itecordership Is Place Sought Dy Mrs. Sherwood.

Oregon Communities Can Ciet From State Vnlvrrnity Directions for Anti-Fly Wars. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, March 10 (Special.) Now is the time to begin killing off the earliest Spring flleo, each pair of which, if left alone, will be responsible for millions of de scendants before the end of August. It is easier to kill one pair now than to try to trap or poison or "swat" several hundred thousand descendant pairs during the Summer. "Any community in Oregon may be come flyless if it will consistently fol low directions," says Dr. Clifton F. Hodge, professor of social biology at the State University, who stands ready to send instructions to any organiza tion that is willing to undertake an anti-fly campaign in any neighborhood. Eugene, Medford, Creswell. Portland and Pendleton are Oregon cities that have promised Spring fly campaigns. Astoria, Albany, Salem and several other cities have campaigns under con sideration. That success is possible is demonstrated by the highly successful campaigns in Cleveland, Worcester, Washington, Baltimore and other big cities in the United States, where entire neighborhoods have been enabled to live the Summer months in peace. As Winter breaks up there are com paratively few flies. Dr. Hodge gives directions for simple traps, which can be made at home, for the capture of these early pairs. Such traps are baited, and one of them will frequently catch all the flies around a house or barn when placed upon a garbage pail or in a stable window. Investigators have recently discov ered that a fly seldom travels farther than 1500 feet during its lifetime. This makes it possible for a limited area to be free from flies where neighboring areas mav both be swarming with flies and miserably afflicted with infantile paralysis, children's stomach troubles, fevers and other diseases that flies carry. HOME GOODS ARE AIDED Portland Speakers Attend Prelim inary Meeting- at Eugene. EUGENE, "Or., March 10. (Special.)

CORVALLIS, Or., March 10. (Spe cial.) The proposed drainage of the valley land tributary to Little Muddy Creek, which lies Detween Corvallis and Monroe, encountered opposition Saturday at a meeting of the Willam ette Grange. Farmers living In the northern end of the proposed district say that to drain the district will cost them thousands of dollars and will not add a cent's worth' of value to their land.

A meeting for the further discussion cf the subject will take place Saturday at the Courthouse here. COOS AND CURRY FAIR SET Board of Directors Also Elects New Officers at Session.

NEWPORT, Or., March 10 (Special.) W. D. Jones, ex-Mayor of Sheridan, and now representing a road construc tion company, has offered on the part of the company to build 13 miles of hard-surface roads in Lincoln County for a bond Issue of 1190,000. or sub stantially J12.66G per mile.

The tentative route for the road from Newport is northwesterly to the border of Polk County. The highway thus made would traverse some of the finest scenic beauties of the Coast Mountains, the beautiful Silotz Valley, and. what is still more desirable, would furnish, a direct artery to the outside valley for all kinds of vehicles.
