Indications are that the grain harvest 'will be on in full blast in' Polk county within the next week. Farmers are begin ning to cat the grain In some sec tions, and in others it will be ready to harvest by the latter part of the week. While the grain Is poor in some parts of the county, In other locations it is about the average, and good returns are ex pected. ; ' ; . .JV The hay crop this year has been better than in former years and the farmers have had a fine op portunity in saving this crop. One farmer stated on the streets of Dallas Saturday that he cut hay mornings and that it would be ready to stack late in the atfer noon. This is something unknown in this part of the country where it usually is rained on before it has cured. : The loganberry crops will prac tically all be harvested by- the end of this week. The crop has turned out to be bigger than was at first expected, ' and the growers have received a fair price for their crop. Prices of loganberries a the be ginning of the season were four cents per pound, but this price was raised to four and one-naif1! cents per pound during the past week.

Ceneral Agent n crop raised in this vicinity wa taken by the La Creole Canning company of this city, who have been working nights and days in order to take care of the berries as they come1 in. The hot dry weather Is begin ning to tell on the prune crop, and unless a rain is had during the next few weeks the crop may be seriously damaged. While the outlook at the beginning of the season was for prunes of large size, the dry weather will un doubtedly cause some of the or chards to produce small fruits. The trees are loaded, but the Au gust drop Is expected to clear the orchards of many tons of fruit which if left on trees would cause them to break down under the weight when the f ruij is ripe. While there is little market for prunes a present, the grower who sold at the beginning of the sea son looks like he was the wise man. As high as 9 M cents was offered for the dried fruits, but this price has been taken off and no buying is taking place in this vicinity. A number of new prune dryers are being built to take care of the crops; yet even with these extra dryers, the growers who have no dryers will have a bard time getting their crops dried un less contracts have already been made.

The Southern Pacific' has in- augurated round trip rates, for tickets on sale from July 24 to September 30, whereby the tour ist can keep ten perfectly good dollars in his pocket that he had expected to squander for a bit of pasteboard if he had 'traveled at the regular rate. The .nev rate goes into effect next Monday. In general, the pick-tip Tn rail road travel has been quite notice able. Especially is this true in the local travel, since the lower rates went into effect. The through Pullman travel is also increasing; if one may judge by the almost crowded condition of the cars. Why not have steel telephone poles on dangerous curves? The wear and tear of automobiles on wooden poles is something fierce This is merely a suggestion. r A i v :i ' 111 zip -j-. ; f f., i ! ; ; .. ...... ,.

M. H. Richardson, a local resident who aside from operating one of the trains for the Southern Pacific runs a prune orchard at odd times, reports that deer have been coming down into his or chard lately and have destroyed a number of small trees. Mr. Richardson states that in past years the deer have eaten up a number of small trees but that this year, on account of the dry weather which makes feed scarce in tha mountains the deer have been more destructive than in the past. His ranch is located in the Oak Dale district and was visit ed by Deputy Game Warden Roy Bremmer of Salem this week, who will endeavor to devise a scheme to keep the animals out of the orchard. Other fruit gTowers living tu he hills west of Dallas are claiming that their places are visited daily by deer in search of feed. lumber company the' Southern Pa. cific track was somewhat dam aged by fire and heat,, and a prune orchard across the tracks from the fire was also damag ed. Two years ago this month a big fire destroyed the entire mil of the Willamette Vally Lumber company and in its place one of the lprgest and best equipped mills on the Pacific Coast was built. The company has been fortunate in having few fires, this one today but the second pne of any consequence in its history.

Karam Shorthand School to Open in Salem o. irra.nK Kosenquerft, who has been a. resident of Salem fnr 10 years is opening a school of snorthand in the city, havine in vestigated the Karam system and round it to fill a lone felt want She has established offices in the uregon building and will there receive applicants for the school and explain the system, showing how it can be mastered in such a short time. While being a new departure, It is spreading very rapidly on account of it being as readily written on typewriter as well as with pen or pencil. She will establish schools throughout Oregon and Washington. The Salem office will open July 25 at 212-13 Oregon building. The school is to start about August 1. NEW POWER PUT Ml RUSHED Boilers Arrive and Are Be ing Installed Excava tion Completed The man who ordered rainy weather for the next week did so against the sincerest wishes of the Portland Railway, Light & Pow er company, so far as its big new Salem power plant building goes. They have the roof almost all oft the old power building, and car loads of sacked cement and of electrical machinery in place that is better dry than wet. They'd prefer even the drought, if they could have it their own way. One of the big boilers, in sec tions, came Monday, and was un loaded in their material jyard. One 'might easily misjudge its capacity, for It comes "knocked down" into very small pieces, in deed. It is not of the Scotch or marine type, one single shell of enormous strength and size, but is of the water-tube type that is built up of a multitude of easily assembled parts. The boilers are huge affairs in their capacity, however; they will give steam for more than 1500 horse power for each boiler unit. The trench es for the foundations are practi cally finished, ready for pouring the concrete. Air drills are attacking the monolithic concrete floor of the old engine house that had to be taken away to make room for the new installation. The excavation will be completed within the next few days, and then the new power house fall will be rushed to com pletion. The power house is to be considerably smaller than the old one, though it will house more than twice as much power machinery. FOIUVS SHOALS BID REJKCTKD WASHINGTON. July If,. The senate committee on agriculture refused today to favorably report a plan developing the government $196.000. 000 project at Muscle Shoals, Ala. .and left the question to be settled on the floor of the senate. All proposals submitted to the committee, including those of Henry Ford, the Alabama Pow er company and that offered, by Senator Nbrris, committee chair man, for government development and operation, were rejected by a majority of the committee. Strawberry Grower Advises Irrigation Roy Blodgett, of The Statesman force, has just returned from a so journ at his ranch out beyond Sil verton. He had put out a lot of strawberries, which were of a late enough variety and a high enough elevation to get caught by the hot sun of the past few weeks; and they gave up their frizzled little strawberry ghosts without a strug gle when the hot wave hit them. "But I'll fix the weather next year," says the observing Blodg ett. "1 have water there for irri gating my place, and I'm going to use it. The man who has a water supply right at hand hasn't a kick coming if his crops do dry up and blow away, or burn up, or fail to grow at all because of the SOME OF THE RAREST BREED OF DOGS IN THE WORLD.
