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. They cut much sugar pine
and yellow pine there, and two

A bowl of beautiful pink rarna-j
tions marks the desk of Mrs. W.
S. 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. Apples give the largest

being put in. besides the replace

Enter the first football player
in the University of Oregon W.
C. Templeton, of Brownsville.
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.
