A CHEERFUL NOTE FOR SALEM It is an ill wind that blows no one any good And the freezing weather of a few weeks ago through- oat some of the eastern sections of the country and in parts of California and the southern and southwestern sections has caused the buyers of fruits to sit up and take notice - Whereas before they were distressingly apathetic. The market for canned fruits, jams and jellies and dried and dehydrated fruits have picked up, decidedly, in the past few weeks, and they are going stronger all the time now ; .1 . And good judges believe all the prunes that are unsold wibe taken by the time the next crop is ready to ship; and a; well posted prune man told the writer yesterday that, if the prunes at present unsold were under firm control at the pres ent time, instead of so many of them being scattered through out the country on consignment, the prices would be soaring, or at least going to heights that would mean good returns for the growers for what are left j And, even as it is now, prune prices are stiffening. . , 'This sounds a very cheerful note for Salem . : For a large part of the prosperity of Salem depends upon the market for the fruit crops of our growers. ' No one need look for bonanza prices this year ' . ! But the present outlook is that there will be sale, at some price, for all the prospective bumper fruit crops now coming on' in the Salem district; if the facilities of manufacturers and shippers prove sufficient, with the limited amount of cold storage space that will be available. That is the main fly In the oiritment now the lack of cold storage facilities. ,'j ; ''Einstein explains the dazfed condition of the world on the ground that it's coming out of the ether," says the Man chester Guardian.

The week's schedules includes a con cert of more than 2000 school children in the city auditorium and chorus recitals by social clubs. An "All "Nations" at which groups of Denver's foreign popu lation will sing their native songs, will be held. No doubt the peo ple of the Rocky mountain me tropolis are "starting something" that will spread. THE PACIFIC AXI) TOMORROW One billion of the 1,600,000, 000 people of the earth are, com mercially and politically speak ing, on the Pacific. While the birth rate is decreasing in the Atlantic portions of the world, it is rising in the Pacific. Add to this the greater number of fe males per thousand of population in the Pacific, as contrasted with the Atlantic regions, and it is evident that population will In creasingly favor the Pacific. Furthermore, the basic and now sorely needed raw materials for industary are more abundant on the Pacific than the Atlantic, as is the man power for working those raw materials. Culture and philosophy and the arts are there in a degree which is just begin ning to be appreciated. Everything is on the Pacific side except the final say, which belongs to two Atlantic powers and one power which is geagraph ically divided between the At lantic and the Pacific. Of these three nations England, which stands supreme in world rule, has a population of 45.000. 000 and dominates a Pacific and Asian population of almost 400, 000.000. France, second in pow er Internationally, has in Europe 3, 000.000 people and controls nearly as many Asians. England and France together hold 8,500. 000 of the 18.000,000 square miles of Asian territory and over half of the population looking out on the Pacific. The third power of the great trio In point of actual participation is the United States, with 9,000,000 Asians outside its continental aiea and 121.000 square miles of ottside territory. Japan, the only nation of Asia which has to date withstood Europe, presents, with her 82.000.000 people and her added territory, a factor to be reckoned with in case the great trio plays carelessly. There is a strong probability that the Pacific of tomorrow will be economically what the Atlan tic, the Mediterranean and the Aegean in their turn were in pre ceding eras. Population, raw materials and potential develop ment all point that way. This dees not necessarily mean that a Pacific nation will dominate the world, or even the Pacific, but that the Pacific littoral will play vast a part in the affairs of the world that its problems will be in a new sense world problems our problems. The Pacific littoral was really one of the big problems before the conference of Pari, . was played with so swiftly and secretly that the settlement may yet cause rrave rear tion Th I FUlURt DATES Mar .! to 7 t.ln. ..k:t.:. .L 'wtnrn. at Puhlir I.ihrarv Mar 4, W!nrdT Anoii -jv Hrmno. i Armorr. u"-lui Aaaaal " of EvaarH-a) jUtociatioa. eanfrr MIT 7.

"""" 1,w three great nations referred to went into the issue of the Pacific in a significant manner. England and France wanted all they could get. and got it. America wanted liOthing and got it. -with the ex ception of a iiarre over the tiny Isle of Yap. which no one ever heard of before the conference. Japan won all of her territorial demands, but was slapped in the face needlessly on the abstract question of racial equality. China ! was Fliced ut more effectively than before, and consistently in sulted to boot. All of which may have a direct bearing on the fu ture in the Pacific. Starting from ihe obvious fact j that the Pacific littoral is in th j hands of three nations thousands of miles removed from It and in finitely below it in population and raw materials, the question is. how is that littoral to be man aged in the future so as to keep it In its present hands and so as to yield the greatest benefhs to the wrorld There are only two ways of administering a subject territory: the garrison, or mailed fist, method: and the diplomatic or veiled-force method. One is strictly military In character, the other primarily economic. About the only thjng which all great empires have proven is that one nation cannot hold another nation down by the use of heavy garrisons and make it pay over a long period. Spain learned that in the Netherlands. Rome in Gaul, Italy in North Africa. Eng land is also learning it in Ire land. Persia, Babylon, Macedon ia and the others demonstrated the same fatal truth. Slavery is not good business, and a chain gang is not profitable to operate. There is a highly profitable method of handling subject, peo ples, as England has shown. That method is based on economic utilization and political direction in such a way as to hurt the pride of the natives as little as possible and to give them a substantial portion of the benefits of the sys iem. The Pacific peoples, even under the leadership of Japan could hardly defeat the now dom inant nations in an actual clash within this century. But even though they could not take up frmi , a A..tj -....,, iuc; touiu renaer tne ex ploitation of the needed resources of the Pacific so costly n life and treasure as to be economically uu politically prohibitive. There Is a tremendous, though hereto fore unused, veto power In the fatalism of the Orient, and the Occident has already stirred it up ominously. After all, imperial ini is not today a bit of cheap strutting. It has become an eco nomic necessity, and the object of empire Is not crushing people aown. nut getting them to stand up ana do more. The only ex cuse for dominion is that it pays economically and in benefits to mankind as a whole. ut: iiui ratner than the Prussian plan seems, then, to be the only sane coarse from any tlH J I - .... luu"ulul- it, behooves the United States, which has become a world power, to use its influ ence in behalf of the tactful plan Which hofnrA ...

When Spaulding's men came mov ing in And camped near by the Ri$k reall. They brought their - and chains. axes, saws. And other junk that , use. And all the men wore shirts loggers flannel And big-eyed, strap-laced, log gers' shoes. We boys were half-scared of the gang; We thought them tough, and roqgh, and rude. And we were frightened when we met them Tramping through tha rain soaked woods. All winter long their axes rang: They felled the white fir straight and tall. And Bob, the teamster, took the oxen And began the logs to haul. Sometimes it seemed his team was stuck And could not move the logs at all. For Bob would roar, and yell, and cuss, Enough to jar the Rickreal! When spring came and the drive began. ine news among the lads did fly Ana we niea for the swoolen stream To watch the logs go drifting by. And I Tor one lurked on the bank And peered through buck brush thick and tall. Ano eyea the toughs that rode the, logs. nen Spanieling drove the Kickreall. BITS FOR BREAKFAST Disgustingly damp. "a .
