HANDSOME PARK AT
FRANKLIN HIGH IS
RELIEVED CERTAIN
One of the first official .acta per
taining to establishing park» and
playground» in the City by City Com
missioner Pier will be a survey of
aitea. The measure for the establish
ing of additional parka and play
ground» was passed by the voter» at
the recent election by a large ma
jority. These aitea will be estab
lished, where possible, in done prox
imity to the public school» so a» to
afford plenty of playground for the
h school children. Seven acres in front
of the Franklin high school will in
all probability be converted into a
handsome park, and the Albina,
Peninsula and Irvington district» will
also be assured of additional recrea
tion beauty »pots. The Irvington
club has made a proposition to Com
missioner Pier that if the city would
lake over the club's indebtedness of
115,000 the city could have the prop
erty, and it is vory likely Mr. Pier
will accept the offer.
As soon as the city planning com
mission ha» made its final recom
mendation and report Mr. Pier will
immediately proceed to notify the
park bureau, which is now in his de
partment, to make all necessary ar
rangements to clear off the ground»
and put them in condition before the
rainy season sets in.

APPROVES
BERRY CROP LARGE
PLAN FOR SEWER
The Gresham cannery is a busy
place these days. There is a big rush
on hand to put the fruit through it«
processes as fast as it is received.
The warehouse in filling up with cam*
waiting shipment, while crates upon
crates are being unloaded at the re
ceiving room.
Ideal weather is making the fruit
ripen fart. There is a shortage of
hands, but so far, with every employe
exerting every energy, ail the fruit
has been cared for in good time. Al
though unable to run full capacity,
nevertheless 16,000 cans of fruit are
produced daily, almost a hundred
thousand cans a week. That means
a payroll for labor alone amounting
to $2000 per week. The cannery plys
out approximately $25,000 a week for
fruit — $25,000 for the local fruit
growers.
Mr. Fisher, the manager, said that
this year the cannery is running at
a disadvantage, but even so results
are decidedly gratifying. For an
other year, provisions for ample help
will be made early in the season and
all other necessary arrangements will
have been made before opening time.
He also predicts a great berry fu
ture for this locality, which of course
means a big canning business. Trans
portation difficulties will eventually
be overcome.
Raspberries are selling at $300 per
ton. The yield this year is much
heavier than last year’s, in some
patches almost double. Blackcaps at
11 cents—over $200 per ton—yielding
in places four tons to the acre—ove-
$800 from one acre.

sounds like a fortune. That tne
prices are up to stay is - assured.
Land values will rise. A period of
