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

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

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. (Mr. Breck
wrote that he had framed this.)

LETTER FROM DR. 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.

charge of the Oregon exhibit)

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

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

entrance, I walked down thru
tha Netherlands Gardens, where

shades, the like of which I have
never seen before; rhododendrons

many other blooms, the names of

However, with the general in-

elsewhere, in "Oregon" every

North Independence Affairs
Occupy Attention; Sixth St.
Cussed and Discussed
After five hours wrestling with
the tangle in North Independ
ence regarding the sidewalk line,
the city council finally took the
bit in its teeth last nlht and es
tablished the line where it was
recently surveyed by the county
surveyor, this Is not satis! ac
tory to most of the residents in
the districts sffected, and by in
action the council has placed the
proverbial chip on its shoulder,
as the North alders win oppose
and antagonize and even go f
far as to iesrt to the courts
On Main r-treit a difference of
nearly four feet exist between
tho old line snd the new. 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.

North Independence was a vote
to grade and gravel Grand street
from Main to Log Cabin and the
establishing of the parkin line
fourtaen feet out. Tha proposi
tion to repair the Log taoin
street viaduct or build a new ore
was by common consent post
poned until after the schools close.
