' "The use of the fonr-pafty har

He previously " had maintained
that under the harmonic 'system

'cannot be kept entirely separate

"I want you to understand, Mr.
Lowe." Cousin "said, ''that rT am
not attempting to getyou to Jus

to know Is why you 'put; up with

" "The reason," Lowe answered,
"is that we haven't any money to

"Do you think the people of

asked Cousin.
"Some rot them are," answered
the witness. -
"Do yon think the people who
attended the mass meetings were
sincere, or do yon think they were
just a bunch of hot-heads?" .
"I think It would be unfair to
answer that question.' Lowe said.

I V. D. " Scott, division itrans-
mlsstoh engineer for the telephone
company, was sworn in and will
be the first witness today.
The harmonic ringing devices
as exemplified in the telephone
J system at Corvallls were attacx
ed - by' - the . telephone company
through questions put by Attor
ney James T. Shaw of the Pacific
company to Mr. Lowe on direct
examination.
'.The '1 'harmonic"" converters
.have caused all kinds of grlet
tsver, since they were installed,'
said Lowe. " "The Strom berg
Carlson company sent an expert
to Corvallls who nursed the har
monic equipment along for lx
weeks just like you would a baby,
but it still'gives trouble'
' : 1 One Kins: Imoosslble ' 1
Lowe said that on a four-party
line, notwithstanding arguments
to the -contrary,- it is impossible
to ring on one line with the har
monic ringing system, ' without
ringing, or at least causing a dis
turbance; -on the other- lines, "and
this, he said, 'Is a source of fre
quent complaint. ' h .
He-further said that1 the tele
phone operators are rn coostant

frequent, and 'have made it nec

'The harmonic 'converters, lAr.
Lowe said, were installed at Phil

were a failure.. Mr. Davis, the

SENATORS BEAT
Score Is 4 to 1 Bishop
Gives Only Four Hits
' Barr. Does Well
By a score of 4 to 1 the Salem
Senators defeater ' the : Astoria
baseball team at Astoria Sunday.
Bishop of the Senators held the
Asforlans down to four hits while
the Senators leaned against John
son for l6 safeties; including a
home run by Jack Hayes in the
first Inning while McKenna was
occupying a base.
Barr, , who ' caught for Salem,
proved a lively little receiver, and
will be able to fill "Frisco" Ed
wards' niche in fine style. He had
no trouble receiving Biddy's fast
ones, and manifested a good peg
for the bases. Mike Miller at
shortstop played a wonderfully
fine game. Astoria made one
error and Salem pone.
The Senators report a large
crowd attending the game and far
better support than la given the
Senators by the people of Salem.
The Senators, with the fastest in
dependent club that has ever been
ken together for a season in west
ern Oregon, have had great diffi
culty in winning the support of
the people of Salem. The caliber
of the Salem players is shown by
the fact that Edwards already
has broken Into the coast league,
While Bishop and Hayes could do
Dany day, if they cared .to .drop
their business oncnections in Sa

Salem Attorney Offers Val
uable Advice to Parties
Going to Newport
Much road work is reported on
the Corvallis-Newport road by
Carey F. Martin, who drove out
Sunday after the week-end with
his family, who are spending the
summer at Nye Creek beach. The
first crew is working in Newport
city limits, the second at a point
on Pioneer mountain near the 15-
mile post, the third near the- 20-
nille post.
At about the 22-mile post the
r-va is completely blocked except
at noon and mornings before and
fveninKS after working hours. The
same Is true of the crew workinz
at about the 24-mile post. Thla
is the worst place as the crew is
Italian, and the laborers da not
understand automobiles and usu
ally make a kind of a trail on
about 4 5 degrees grade for autos
to pass. This place was danger
ous Thursday but was repaired
by Sunday.
Beginning at about the 26-mila
post and continuing for nearly 10
miles there is new grade or grade
work almost continuous, but all
fairly smooth and good going. On
this side of the summit the entire
road is beiug rebuilt, beginning
at a point on the old macadam
road above Philomath and extend
ing to the railroad station of
Blodgett. This new grade Is one
of the finest in Oregon and its
Importance will be at once ap
preciated by the auto driver as
it eliminates a series of mnch
dreaded rocky hills on the old
Corvallis-Blodgett road and at the
same time does away with the
terrible hill on the old route by
King's valley to Blodgett valley.
Mr. Martin was permitted to
come through on the new grade
Sunday, although It is, not yet
open to traffic, and says that this
new grade cuts out the last piece
of bad road between Salem and
Newport. When opened this new
rade will draw all traffic via
Corvallis and Philomath instead
of via King's Valley, as at pres
ent, and will mean a good macad
am road on a low grade practi
cally to the summit, which on the
highway is just beyond Blodgett
station. From this summit down
to Newport the road has already
been or is now in process of grad
ing, and all bad grades have been
eliminated for several years. This
distance Is abont 40 miles.
Mr. Martin says that a prty of
motorists now at Newport are en
thusiastic about this road and
claim that they have ben travel
ing extensively through the west
ern mountains and that the New,
port road is one of the finest
mountain roads in the .west. This
party left Salem Saturday at' noon
and claim they drove. leisurely and
were in Newport just after 6 p. inj
averaging 15 miles per, hour far
the entire distance of about 90
miles. ' ;
' Mr. Martin says that until the
new Philomath grade- Is -opened
tne Desi route is via Brunk s Cor
ner, Independence, Monmouth,
Lewisville, Peedee, Kings Valley,
Bioagett valley, Sumonit. Turn
Turn valley and Little Elk valley
to n;aayvHie. Don't go via Hos
ktns, Nashville, Nortons and Eddy
vllle as this route, known as the
Hoskins "x;ut-otf,r although
shorter by several miles, is very
narrow, crooked and very hmy
and some of the hills go almost
straight up. This road,' although
smooth, is dangerous, having no
surveyed grade or massing places
Also the town of Hoskins a the
foot of the mountain on this side
of the summit has no gasoline for
sale, an odd situation for any town
in this age. Certainly some friend
of the 'poor people 'should noinr
this town out to the Standard Oil
company. , ; ,.

President Acknowledges
Receipt of Salem Fruit
Written on the very dalnty
White House stationery, the fol
lowing letter has been received
by L- H. Baxnett of Salem:
"My Dear Mr. Barnett: The
box of cnerries which you jand
Mr. Sites were good enough to
send to the president and Mrs.
Harding, have been received and
in their behalf. I wish to thank
you cordially for your courtesy,
assuring you that your kind

Come Back. Strong for
Last end of Season
Some Everbearing strawberries
are being offered in the Salem
market at 15 cents a box retail.
The berries look as fine as the
Etterbergs or Wilsons, or any
other main-crop, fruit. They have
been practically out of the mar
ket for two or three weeks, but
are coming back now after having
caught their second wind for the
season.
The Everbearing plants grow
especially strong and upstanding.
They look glossy and green almost
as if they had been irrigated all
through the season. The berries
are . clean and beautiful, more
brilliantly scarlet than most oth
er varieties, and they certainly
do shine like a million dollars
when on- wall-kept plants. Their
best friends will hardly allege
that they wilj outyleld some of the
other famous Varieties, for they
certainly do last longer. rA little
patch in tho garden, kept clean
and Irrigated, should furnish
fresh berries practically th whole
summer and fall.
An occasional late berry is
found even in patches of t'ae one
crop varieties; big luscious fruits
that make the mouth water. They
wouldn't be worth while ' to pick
for market, but the curious per
son with a strawberry thirst can
find something worth ' nis wnire
In almost any good berry field.
Maybe it has been a dry' season,
but not so dry as to keep even
these spring berries from blos
soming and bearing all summer.
Further Disposal of Gasoline
Case Not Decided on
Last Night
At 9 :30 last night a jury in the
justice court failed to agree by a
vote of three.-three after spending
the day taking testimony in the
case of state against Q. G. Quaek
enbusb, charged with selling a
short measure of gasoline. On
July 25 the action was first heard
by a Jury which also disagreed.
Yesterday's hearing was replete
with clashes between Donald
Miles, counsel for the defense and
Prosecuting attorney John H. Car
son. The charge against Quacken
bush was originally filed by J. F.
Jones, deputy sealer of weights
and measures, with M. Mack as
prosecuting witness. The state
developed a new phase in the case
yesterday when Prosecutor Car
son established by one of the wit
nesses for Quackenbush that the
vaccuum tank on the car used in
the gasoline test contained only
a scant one and one-half pint. The
defense had maintained that at
least a quart ot gasoline could
have been taken up by the re
serve tank.
"The jury's decision is really a
vindication for Mr. Quackenbush.'
stated Attorney Miles last night.
Owing to Judge Unruh's ina
bility, to locate Prosecutor Carson
late in the evening, future dls
posal of the case has not been
decided upon.
