BRYAN LIKES I It May Become Nations Drink and the Willamette Valley Will Raise the Fruit Loganberry juice, extracted from berries Jgrown by Marion county growera and bottled at the Salem Fruit Union, promises to eclipse the world famous grape juice as the national drink because W. J. Bryan, Secretary 0f State, has ordered a case of Li,:. i.nk.. tn .. ... , . i ins uuicihi mine, nie saie tu Mr. Bryan was affectud by Frank A. Breck whose partner, 0. L Ferris, is now bottling and shipping the product from th Salem Fruit Union and who re ceived the information from Mr, Breck. yesterday. Mr. Bryan's grocer purchased two barrels of the berry juice in bottles and tho White House Grocer purchased three barrels of the beverage. Last loganberry season the Salem Fruit Union extracted about 2500 gallons of the logan berry juice which was put up in f$vt gallon containers Part of this was sold out but the greater part, 2300 gallons was sold out right to Mr. Breck and Mr. For ris lor marketing. Mr. breck has been making and selling gnve juie, for 25 years and was QM of th, , the bug. , . , L m. la ..... . s-k A "uu "uw u" u, ,UBU selling loganberry juice to his grape juice customers ail over the United States. Mr. Breck is a devout christian and whoa in Washington, D. C, over Sunday he took the oppor tunity to attend a meeting in one of the churches where Mr. Bry an was scheduled to speak. Af ter the meeting was over a targe crowd pressed forward to shake the secretary's hand and Mr. Breck joined in at the rear end of the line where he would have more time. He finally reached the secretary and upon introduc ing himself said: "I have come all the way from Portland, Oregon, to deliver the 'message to Garcia' but I have not the message with me today." Mr. Bryan's attention waa at tracted by the unusual introduct ion and readily made an appoint ment with Mr. Breck for the next day at 11 o'clock at his office. Needless to say Mr. Breck was on hand and reaching into his hip pocket pulled out the bottle of loganberry juice and told in glowing terms its great advantages as a temperance drink. Mr. Brian asked for a sample. "Sure," said Mr. Breck as he produced another bottle from his other hip pocket "and take this homo to Mrs. Bryan." Mr. Bryan liked tho simple and asked his houaekaeper to Or der a ease for his personal use. He gave Mr. Brerk a letter of introduction to Secretary of the Navy Daniels.

OUNSMOB Writes Entertaining of the Exposition "Come August or September" He Say Editor Monitor Altho' at the time of the open ing of the Panama Pacific Expo sition, the Press announced that everything was ready and com plete, yet even now, after two months, there still remains much to be done. Of course, the Ex hibition Palaces were all ready, outwardly, but the inner booths and pavilions were far from be ing ready. And it will be fully a month yet before everything will be complete. For instance in tne t'aiace or Education. (where Dr. Bell of Corvallia has charge of the Oregon exhibit) not more xnan nan tne t pace is regularly filled, and exhibits in stalled. Much the same o.ondi Hon obtains in the other Palaces In tha Palace of Mines, for in stance, the Oregon e .hihit )w not yet arrived and it will do more than a month before that exhibit is all ready. And so it goes, in every one of the Palaces there is an incompleteness thm is very evident as soon as on enters the building. I write this because doubtless many are asking "when will be the best time to visit the Expo sition?" I would think August or September would be perhaps as satisfactory a time as any, a- everything ought to be complete by then, and too, the flowers and hrubs will than be in theii greatest beauty. And to one who appreciates the beauties of landscape gardening, and who oves the flowers, this ought to be one of the great pleasures of the Ex position. This morning on coming in thru the Baker street entrance, I walked down thru tha Netherlands Gardens, where many-colored tulips were rnuel. in evidence. Tulips of many shades, the like of which I have never seen before; rhododendrons perfeet mass of bloom; and many other blooms, the names of which I am ignorant. However, with the general in- completeness which is manifest elsewhere, in "Oregon" every thing is in shape. I might mod fy that just a little, and say that the Willamette Valley Exhibit is still installing, but this is in ad dition to the original installation, larger and increased space hav ing been given us just recently. R'?r Mr Frnvtnf C-?r-t ? the In- vaiiey txniDit. ana general in staller, is rapidly getting into shape, and we will have one of the most complete exhibits in the building.

In the way of a compromise it is pro posed to make the sidewalk line nearly five feet instead of the custou.ary one. Mayor Walker s vote was necessary to submit tha compromise to an ordinance, a 'addock, Hubbard and Williams voted yes and Henkle, Goetz and Sloper voted no. The ( rdinance will come up for first reading at tho next council meeting. The situation on Log Cabin street if about tho same as on Main.
