' There are a number of developments pointing to a wider istribution of our prunes in the markets of the world : so that demand is likely to keep up with supply. There are several illuminating articles in The Statesman of this morning for instance, the one of M. J. Newhpuse. He shows that the limited area j&f western Oregon and western Washington must always supply practically all 'the world with big prunes the "Wanted kindf ' the high priced kind;, the prunes that will mean good A virtual franchise for supply ing the world with the big prune; the wanted kind; the high priced kind. S King Food Products company is just finishing the dehydrating of 3000 green tons ot prunes. That Is a mountain of prunes. "W This concern will now go onto vegetables and apples. They ex pect to use 8500 tons of apples. Some apples! They will bet at work on apples until away up in January. H The last of the prunes are com ing In mostly from the Scotts Mills and the Monmouth, districts. A day or two more, and there will be no prunes left fo pick. There was some rain' In picking time; but the loss has been negligible. Prunes are now going Into the packing houses In great streams. And even some of them are going onto the cars for shipment. So they are on the way to market, to bring back a golden stream, from all the wide world. V Salem will have a bigger and bigger thing every year in being the prune capital of the world; the capital of the big prune; the prune of price and quality. HOLDING A HUSBAND profits to the growers.

Dr. Minthorn was thejnspirjng forcebehirid the Oregon Land company which started the prune industry in the Salem district, in the late eighties. Without Dr. Minthorn, ; it. might never: have been started. Such is the widening and lasting influence of one devoted and enthusiastic man.1 Adele Garrlsoa's Hew Fluase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE CHAPTER 141 1 WHAT MADGE MADE PROMISE: LiBLIA BUS FOR BREAKFAST The prune's the big thing. i Especially the 4ig prune m And the Salem district has franchise .' As the swift ' tapping of Rita Prown's: high-heeled shoes died away down the corridor, Lelia put eut her. band to mine as ' it for help and then burst into a tor rent of hysterical sobs. I let the rhamed tears have their way with her without at tempting any other comfort than stroking the tumbled hair against my shoulder.' The tensionof her nerves needed .Just such an out burst' I. knew " that - she ' would be more, composed after.it, and", I hoped, amenable to the course I wished her, for-her life's happi ness; to take. The only problem now was to keep Alfred Durkee from suspecting how nearly his happiness had been wrecked be cause of a wicked woman's false- hls. little fiancee's. erednllty.t;How ffar Lelia woultf aid me in this task 1 could not tell: So I. resolved to-wait quiet ly until' the paroxysm of tears and sobs was over, and be guided in my treatment of her by. her own attitude toward the problem. Leila's Impulse to Tell. Wlhen the j sobs changed to sniffs, and I Baw her hand blindly groping for a handkerchief, I knew that she had come back t calmness again. I put a hand kerchief into her hand, released, my hold of her, went to the wash stand and brought a basin of cool water to the bedside. "Let m bathe your face and eyes," I said practically. "You'll feel ever so much better." She submitted quietly, and when I had finished I .brushed out and braided her tangled hair. When I returned rom putting the things away she waa sitting bolt upright in ibed, her tear swollen eyes tensely fixed upon me. "It's true Madge, isn't It? Al fred never Oh. what a wicked fool I've been!" "Granted, all of that!" I smiled at her. "But it's over now, and no real harm done, except the nervous shock you've received. I think I could cheerfully WTtng Rita Brown's neck for causing you such grief." s "I; never want to see hejr face or hear her name again," she said with the savage fierceness which tender shrinking women some times display when they are sore ly wounded. "But bad as she is, I -am. worse." she went on dole fully. "Oh. what will he think of me when! tell him how I doubt ed him!" Never in my life have I uttered anything resembling what Dicky calls a "cuss word." But for a minute I longed for the pictur esque vocabulary ot my husband or Harry Underwood. Nothing else could have done justice to ray emotions upon; listening to this declaration from Leila's lips. Not being able to-, express myself adequately, ; however, ' I did the next best thing I com pressed my lips tightly until I could plan the wisest means of bringing my -little friend to her senses..-. Madge Exacts a Promise. "Will you tell me." I asked dryly, iarter a minute, "why you deem It necessary to 'tell Alfred, of your ridiculous action?" ' . "Why Madge!" Her eyes open ed to their fullest extent. "It woudn't ibe honest, I would al ways feel as if there were a hor rid secret between us. If I mar ry him, my every thought .belongs to him." I sa.1 still for a long... tense minute, and then made my voice rarcastic, my words .measured, when I spoke. . ; "You have a most f, unselfish, idealistic love for All, ; haven't you " I gibed. . , . - . "Why! What do you mean?" she asked, while a resentful flush crept Into her cheeks. ; r "I mean.

Alfred loves you deeply and-islncerely,; and I will wager anything that ha would never think of doubting you on any one's word. It simply isn't in him to do such a thing! And just now he is in such an exalted state, the knowledge that you doubted him would be a tragedy." "I know," she said wearily, "but I cannot go through life without his knowing how nearly I failed him." "Promise me this,"; I said des perately "wait till you are mar ried two years. Then tell him. Will you take my word that by that time you will laugh in the telling of the storj and he in the hearing of it?" I would like to have added that by that time, Alfred would have lost his-.roroantic ideal of her and would b loving her for the true. sweet! heart that beat beneath her immature folly, and ''because of her foibles Instead of in spite of them" -would smile indul gently and understanding at a story that now would cau?e him bitterness which he could never forget as long as he lived.

October 21. when the new Amos M. Davis Memorial high, school is to be formally dedicated tor pub lic service. " i The building, a concrete-reinforced structure, built along tho latest and most approved lines of school architecture, is a gift from Mrs. Davis, in memory of her hus band, the late Amos M. Davis. Mrs. Davis, who was of the Turn er family that more than almost any other family helped to make the history of that section ot the Willamette valley, is still a heavy land owner in the vicinity ot Ausmville and Turner, and she takes this means of showing her loyalty to the land of her birth and to the loVed one. whom all who remember him say was a worthy subject for the finest me morial. The school is to be one of the best of Its kind in the valr lfcy. ;i- . Chain of Good Schools A remarkable chain of excellent fcehools extends up and down the Santiam valley in Marlon county, said by school authorities to be the best chain of similar schools anywhere inr the northwest, popu lation and all other things con sidered. It begins at Turner, where a splendid new school ot hollow tile is being erected and that Is to be dldicated sometime in November. The Aumsville school is next Ir order. fStayton is not building this year, but has a new, modern building, and claims the largest proportion f high school pupils ot all similar towns in the state. The high school service there ranks with almost any city school anywhere Mill City Well Fixed Following on up the Santiam. the Mill. City high schoof is one of exceptional merit. It has a fine separate gymnasium, and a lot of concrete walks and a con- crote area-way for wet weather have been put down. The Mill City school has bought lavishly of gymnasium and playground equip ment, and is able to give its pupils better service than most schools. The gymnasium is well heated and is the community meeting hall. The same is true of the Stayton gymnasium, and the fine big aud itoriums, in the new Aumsville and Turner schools will be the community social halls. Property Valuation Large At Gates, where three districts were consolidated last winter, a fine new high school is just be ing finished. While it. seems a long- way off from the world, the Gates district has a property val uation of more than a million dol lars, or more than that! of - the Woodburn district north of Salem, and lias the .financial backing to make It a great school center. This they axe dolnsr with their new high Bchool. While the whale thing is new' the high school, starts with 25 pupils, and the: grade school Is very largely at tended. Directors Thrifty When the Gates district plann ned its new school building, the thrifty directors figured ahead far enough that they bought two trucks for hauling in their school house materials, and saved practi cally the truck cost in the building itself. Then tb trucks were adapted to school bus service, and they are now busy collecting rr returning the children over the route of several smiles covered, by the 'consolidated district . , t ; County Superintendent Mrs, FuHrerson, who returned Tuesday from a 'tour ' of J these Santiam schools, reports all as showing a, greatly increased registration over last-year"," and she points to the " group of fife rural hlgVkfcuooh as about the finest ot the kind anywhere. - Portion of State Taxes Is Paid by Multnomah State Treasurer O.

There was only -one other, dog in the show that received as much attention, and ' that was Trixle. the clever little terrior who did the high Jumps through hoops. ' Toby wasn't jealous of her, becacse he admired her so much. He was very . bashful, and little Trixlo never suspected how fond he was of her, though his brown eyes followed her every move. . Toby was happy just to be in the same act with her, and all would have been well, had it not been for Lad, the beautiful white collie, who was a member of the "living statues" group. He was really a very handsome dr-g, and all he had to do for a living was to pose. He seemed to like Trix le very much, and always barked gaily to her when he passed, with an approving remark about her fine work. He's quite a fellow," Toby said once, enviously. He's very handsome and dig nlfied,' answered Trlxie. Toby was cut. He wasn't a bad looking dog himself, , but he cer tainly wasn't d I g nil f 1 e d. He thought of the silly tricks he did, of all t;ie tumbling and jumping and walking, and he didn't blame her for looking down on him He hung his head in shame, and the next day he avoided her, but she didn't seem to notice it ' He wetched Lad trotting out Into tho ring with stately steps. his plumelike tail waving grace fully. The more he thonght about it, the worse he felt. When the - evening performance came he hadn't the heart to work. He was Just a clown, he thought bit terly, and they wouldn't miss him. For the first time, he failed to go through his tricks, but stuck listless in a corner. The train er decided he was sick, and had him-cXriaLjLt-. After the show . .Trixle came ry you're sick? she -said. "It would bo terrible if the show had to go on again without you, for all the life was gone. You're re ally very cleveT. Toby, and .very necessary. Anybody can' act dig nified and strut. around, like the posing dog, but we're profession ale." A Everybody said they had never seen Toby so clever as he. was in the next day's show.
