8 TOE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 20. 1921 LEGISLATIVE COMMENT S. A. Miller. o Milton-Free-water he hyphenates the the two towns because there is practically no dividing line reports a won derful apple crop from his coun ty. Umatilla, that has made his 'people prosperous. They shipped a milliqn and a halw dollars worth ol fruit from the hyphen ated town, and still have about 100 cars in cold storage, waiting tor whatever may happen to the market. Mr, Miller Is perhaps the Old est active nurseryman in Oregon. He has been on the Job in Ore gon for more than 40 years. Even that, however, in't very much of a record, for his father, now 93 years of ase. is still president of the Milton Nursery company, and going strong as an adviser and counsellor. A prune orchard in the out skirts of Milton, on the urban property where Mr. Miiler makes his home, this year produced a crop that must have been a cen tennial testimonial to the Millar ability. The orchard comprises for and one-half acrea, with 585 trees. From this plot the owner sold, in 1921, 122,841 poinds of fruit, at $52 a ton, or almost 5300 Tor the total product. A prune yield of more than 1890 an acre, in a hard-times year, looks a sif the gods were playing favoriates. The Millers came to California only one year behind the Forty Niners. but headed off up the coast to Oregon half a century ago, and have been here ever since. Gift from a store for a EUlan! v The Experienced Shopper Knows that most men like to receive a Christmas gift from the store that offers the community good-clothes- appearance as expressed in KUPPENHEIMER GQOD CLOTHES; the style center of this locality and therefore the logical buying center for men's holiday merchandise. "The bos'n tipht. and the mid shipmite, and the crew of the Nancy Briz." is the unoffiria! claim of Denton G. Hurdick and H. J. Overturf. who represent one third of Oregon in the lower house. They come from the leg islative district comprising Crook. Deschutes, Grant. Jefferson, Kla math and Lake counties, the tall grass counties of the whole north west. "It's quiet enough in our coun try." said Mr. Burdick, ' but we're on the up-grade. There never was as favorable a winter for stock, as this. The rains of last summer gave us an exceptional range growth, and the stock just natur ally couldn't begin to eat it up. All stock have gone into the winter in prime condition, and whatever there is in the stock business, we'll get." years ago they had a tremendous stock on hand. Many of them a hi a to fill eood orders for boxes and other demands d'iring 1921. from their leave-over stock; which, however, is now about exhausted. "We've had only three nights with frost, so far this year," said Representative J. X. Johnson, of Josephine county. "We have an everbearing raspberry down in our country, that really does what its name indicates, for when I left Grants Pass, I saw in the bank a ' branch of this berry with fresh flowerB, green fruit, and the rie- ened berries just ready to eat, all on the same vine. We found snow in spots all the way down to Sa lei. At Eugene there was a genu ine blizzard, and here in Salem there wasn't a flake until later in tho night." Mr. Johnson says that the saw mill men of his county are look ing for a good year; at least a de cided improvement in past condi tions.

Kinney, the only woman repre- sentative in the session, from Clatsop county. "It don't seem in the least out of place to me, to sit in a leg islative hall with only men mem bers," said the fair representa tice, smilingly. "I have a family of four boys, and we've all been good fellows together. Our busi ness interests have made it neces sary for me to take vp a business life in mililng. logging, farming, almost every northwestern indus try. I have bought and sold thou sands of feet of lumber and logs, dealing mostly with men. I have sat in directors' meetings where we had property interests, and most of the directors were men. Success and the right to advance is a matter of application and abil ity, and not of conventionality or sex. It has seemed that there were matters that needed a wo man's care in the legisalture, anJ I've come to do my share." Mrs. Kinney is a graduate of Willamette university, class of 1878. She can look out of the window from where she sits in the legislative hall, and see the historic old campus, now better studded with buildings than in her college days, but still serving the youth as it did half a century ago. Mrs. Kinney and her family were well acquainted with Joseph Baker of Salem, probably the old est l'ving student of Willamette. He attended the old Oregon insti tute, the present Willamette, in 1S4D. She was brought up in Sa lem, but moved to Clatsop county years ago, having made a conspic uous success of both her family and of her business enterprises. logans or blackberries, while it is a too-low- price, will nevertheless make more money for the farmer than grain farsing at any price tflat he can ever hope to get. The Girod farm is to haTe more berries than ever before, because of the promise ahead for good crops and oetter prices than last year. There are other courageous farmers in the Girod neighbor hood, who are pullinz out their old orchards that have outlived their usefulness, and putting in new trees.

In 1891, a pigskin squad was organized at Eugene. The boys bought a pigskin for $4 or $5, and that was all they needed. They furnished their own arnica, they let their audiences stand around on the flat and clammy ground without even a board underfoot, and they played such a brand of football as would have landed a bunch of places on the all-Ameri-can if the sport writers had been there to see. There wasn't such a thing as a forward pass. The player who tried it was thrown out of the game. They fought two straight halves of 4 5 minutes each, with out a breath between plays. They nsed homemade shoes, with 57 kinds of spikes and cuts, and tho things they didn't have for equip ment would exactly outfit a whole modern team. The pioneers, one of which was Representative Tem pleton, came down to Albany, however, and cleaned 'era up, 42 to 2. The Templetons have been fa mous in Oregon football s history. Four brothers have had places on the 'versify team W. C, Charlie, Frank, Lloyd. Frank was one of the greatest ground gaining backs In the whole history of the north west. He is in business in Port land. W. C. is still on the old home farm, raising stock and other things to eat, and keeping the family name a-going in Ore gon where they have lived since the Indian days. There is a hus ky Templeton on th Stanford team this year, whoi they haven't been able to trace back to the Oregon stock. But if he's as good as the Native Sons say he is, he must be the same.
