The enter prisers delayed partly due to lack of knowledge of the value of irrigation or skill in its use. However, . there are here opportunities for irrigation fanning in a region, where there is a long growing season with good transportation facilities at hand, and a healthful settled section free from hardships of pioneering in a raw, arid section." ": The above is the concluding paragraph of an interview with W, L. Powers, chief of soils at the Oregon Agricultural - College Experiment Station, made for and published by the Pacific Homestead, the farm,paper issued from the btates "And the 'Tiere" reference i3 to "lands of less sandy tex- i turebut suitable for intensive crops with supplemental irri-x f gation" t"L-' , 1 ;. . And the lands of "sandy texture" referred to are those ! and such as those in the Santiam bottoms. V But the reader, if he is a fanner, or is interested in any way in the progress of this section, ought to read and reread Vand 'preserve the whole article, printed on the Pep and Pro gress pages this, morning. 1 5 To ''double the yield of about one-sixth of the soils of the valley' which Prof. Powers says may be done by irriga tioni is worth thinking about; studying upon; providing the , 'means of doing this very thing - Largely with pumping plants, but in very many cases with water from streams. : Prof. Powers shows that, with proper rotation of crops and fertilization of the land, a comparatively small amount of water applied at the right times and in the right way . will turn the trick; just enough is very much better than too .much i " "And vastly better' than none at all. ' There is other irrigation matter in the Pep.and Pro- - gress pages this morning that is informing, and encouraging, -and the "Selling Salem District" and "Salem ,Slogan" pages that willoeein a new campaign of development in The States man on October 5th will contain from time to time a great deal about irrigation for this valley. It is a very live subject . now. and the movement ia bound to grow must grow. r The time is coming fast when irrigation will be con sidered as a matter of course for most farms in this section : and the sooner it arrives the better for the growth and solid prosperity of the Salem district. - a-" t . . ' ... - The canneries of the Willamette valley and of the West ern Washington prune district are doing a big part in taking care of the bumper prune crop now being harvested. The Wnnera are at the same time developing a line that will add to the popularity of what they have to offer to' the consum ' ine public: and to their profits. In fruits, the big five are -going to be pineapples, prunes, pears, peaches and apricots leaVe off the "a" of the last and complete the allitearation. Prunes are now making the greatest strides in the history : of the canning industry in taking their place in the royal , family named. Irrigation's the thing. It is a juicy subject and is going V have great attention f roni now on here in the valley. S S Three weeks more will see the last of the prune crop safe; with every day making the sar-ing of it more possible even with, a lit tle or even a good deal of rain. Dry days, however, will be more than appreciated by the packers and the growers. There was not a sack of cement to be had in Salem yesterday That shows something of the busy times in building of all kinds. V "k If you think the building of houses In Salem is being over done, try to rent one; or even housekeeping rooms in one. You will consider yourself out of luck. Still more new houses are both In course of construction and be ing planned and started than ever before in the history of ba-lem. S There is one thing more Impor tant to Salem as a city than the development of irrigation on a large ieale in this section, and that Is the development of the great water powers of the Santi am and Little North Fork of the Eantiam rivers. It is coming, and the sooner the better for Salem. That will hurry Oregon's capital city towards the 100,000 mark n population, in the progress of which it is making no mean strides even as it Is. Salem is away above 20,0$ in population now. S , Gertrude J. M. Page, the lVe real estate dealer, when picking flowers at her home a couple of days ago, found an upper set oi false teeth. She is now looking for the man who owns the lower set or perhaps it is a woman. over the town. She would natur ally expect me to take some time. But though- I was nearly getting stronger, the prospect of an hour's steady walking rather appalled me. I turned to the little tele graph operator aypealingly: 'Is there a pisce nearby where I could wait lor that telegram at least part of ihe time?" "You are perle-tly welcome to wait here," she said hospitably. "but it isnt T'T interesting.

You see, her little shop is all her livelihood." "That program sounds most at tractive," I commented with smil ing relief. "I think you'll ffnd it so," she ghina stood near the ffre, china which made my eyes gleam appre ciatively.

In one corner, ihe inevitable postal card revolving stand was redeemed from commonplaceness by its decoration?

THE OL,I OAK'S STORY For years I had stood on the corner by the old Henderson house for years before the hoi- was ever built, in Ifajct. Hendersons, young and old, had played under my branches. I hated to see the Henderson fam ily dwindling away and the land going to rack and ruin. Finally young Byron Hender son was the only one left in the direct Henderson line. I liked the boy. He used to lie on the ground for hours looking up at me and even talked to me. 1 talked to him as well as I could and. tried to make him under stand how fond I was of. him. He was a small, pale boy who had always been a weakling. His mother and father had been swept away when he was very young by a black measles epidemic. It was a. wonder he hadn't prone too. Sometimes I thought it would have been better for him. ' You see there wasn't any one left to look after him except a busy uncle Vn the city who decided that a small town was the place to bring up a ooy, so be hired a couple to work the farm and take care of the boy. I hated them from the very first. The woman was a stupid. whining ierson, and the man was a 'black-browed fellow wno nouna cd the boy and shouted at him conunuauy. ine uncle never came near. He was a very bu?y man indeed. I used to shake with anger when I saw how the boy was treated. Why, he got so that heput up his arm to shield his face whenever the man came near. Things Irept getting worse and worse. The Doy looked half starved One afternoon he came home from school . and dropped down under me, just worn out In a minute the man was out after Mm. "So you're playing off," he shouted. "Sneaking out here instead of petting at your chorea. I'll' fix you for that." He rushed at the trembling boy with, closed fist. That was too much for mo One of my branches was old and rotten. I'd been intending to get rid of it anyway. So I just drop ped it and pinned that man down by his leg. He yelled for help. The poor boy was scared to death and he ran like a streak up the ! road. ' He happened to run into the shertff, who was coming1 along, and. who turned in to see what was the matter. The man wasn't much hurt, and the sheriff turned to the white-faced boy and began arkiig him questions. Well4 that sheriff was a mighty .fine man. He saw bow things were and how the boy was scared of that fellow. He wrote a let ter to tbe "boy's uncle. Who wasn't mean, only thoughtless. Now old Mr. amd Mrs. Elliott, the nicest peoplfe In the world, are here, and the uncle comes often. I think thos , Hendersonkot years ago must be glad of the way I'm sticking by them. - The public service commission, in a letter to W. A. Curtfn, sec retary of the Portland .Traffic & Transportation association, ex presses the opinion that practi cally every motor vehicle carrier of ooth freight and passengers in the state has now complied with the transportatfon act of the 1921 legislature whereby these carriers are placed under the jurisdiction of the commission and subjected to license payments. Possible exceptions are those in remote rural districts, and these are being informed of the legal requirements by inspectors. July Banner Month The letter says that the com mission granted nearly as many permits, during the month of July Lh?s year as it had granted be tween Deeemtber 27, 1921, and June SJ), 1922. Inspectors are reporting fewer violations each month.
