DHITIO FHWB UlKtD wim San Francisco, March 27. That there is no occasion for the cry of a present or an Impending potato shortage In California, Is the poBltlve assertion of F. M. Burnham, member of the wholesale firm of Porter & Burnham. "On the contrary," -said Burnham, "the present outlook Is that this year's new crop will be a bumper one, better ' than It has been for years. ThlB Is not only true of California, but of Oregon and Washington, as well. "I can't see any sign of a possible shortage, unless unforseen and un toward weather conditions shall be full. The cry of a potato famine un questionably originated from several of the large holders, who have blg'lots of old potatoes on hand, and who want to unload them at a good price to the retailers before the new crop , cornea In. "I know positively that great quan tities of old potatoes are at present being placed In cold storage here. We are receiving all sorts of offers for heavy consignments from Oregon and Washington, and even from Texas, at a price of from 2 to 2 cents per pound. California this year has larger acreage planted to potatoes than It had last year, and Oregon has 60 per cont more acreage than In 1911. Prices quoted from Los Angeles In the S an FranclBco papers within the past two duys were as high as 3 ',4 cents per pound, but I will venture to sny that If the mutter were Investigat ed prices In the south would bo found much lower than that."

M. SchmlBt, 'a non-union machinist, was the principal witness today In the trial of Burt Hicks, open shop ma chine works operator charged with the murder of W, A. Wortman, a hn lon machinist. Schmidts' testimony related principally to threats alleged to have been made against his life by union men during the machinist's strike here and was Introduced by the defense In on attempt to show that the conduct of union pickets In front of the Hlcks machine shops was threatening toword Hicks and others. Schmidt said that union men had threatened and cursed him when he did not Join the union. He admitted carrying a gun and also that he had been arrested on a charge of carry ing concealed weapons. Schmidt's testimony Is of that na ture which the prosecution sought to bar as Irrelevant, but which Judge Gates decided was material to the Is sue. It Is generally considered that Judge Galena' decision makes It pos sible for the defense to put up a much stronger case than It other wise could. INDICATES RAPID GTOWTII OF THE CITY !

Salem Is growing so rapidly that the every day busy citizen, while seeing the dally changes, does not note their magnitude as a whole. The old gives place to the new so steadily and so rapidly that It Is ac cepted as a matter of course, and is, in fact, In the nature of a habit. The horse editor came across the accom panying cut In the advertising de partment a day or so ago, which sug gested the above train of thought. The cut but a year or two ago was used In the Journal In connection with the advertisements, and was used often. Yet while the building is readily recognizable, the equine edi tor Is of the opinion that many who know the building, will have to think twice before they name It.
