When the minister finished. Mrs. Christian stepped back to her or iginal place, and Mrs. Harding, leaning on Secretary Christian's rm., walked to the front of the coffin, held her hand 'out to Rev.

Opposite : were passen gers from a train four 1 tracks away whose departure was de layed until the president's special train should have gone. Overhead flew .airplanes from the army posts about San Francis co Bay, long streamers of mourn ing flying from their wings in tok en of official mourning. Clusters of roses, loving tribute to" the dead," fluttered .down from them as they passed above the train. ' Drums Are Heard ; , Then outside the muffled beat of drums was heard and through the archway could be seen the presidential escort drawing up, the final honors accorded the de parted commander in chief. More drums, more troops and sailors and marines passing, a band paying a dead march, then ; the guard of honor, the officers with their swords draped, took up lite station in the archway. A hush fell, j John Pershing, general of the United States army solemnly took his post behind the train and stood erect, Admirals, generals and other officials fol lowed and took their stations.; Military Carry Casket Then the casket, wrapped! in the flagjts occupant, had served and bearing on , its . top a wreath of lilies, was borne in on- the shoulders of a stalwart group of men, from all three of the coun try's armed services. Gently de liberately, they laid it down upon the platform beside -the car, stepped up on that grim, rostrum and lifted it through the window. Thor glass was closed, the cortegi broke up and all the solemn pic ture, with its background of grave faced men and black clad women, was ended. . Widow Enters Train The airbrakes hissed as a train man tried; them... Loving hands carried to the baggage car, away down the platform behind the crepc-hung locomotive, the mass of -flowers that had stood beside the president's car. Seven o'clock, the hour set for; the train's depart ure came and went, j Then,' down "the s aisle edged with navy blue and gold and army olive drab, came a slender figure, black clad and. stooping slightly. It was Mrs. Harding. She was on the arm of .George B. . Christian, Jr., . the :- president's secretary, whose , frock-coated ; shoulders were far.bent, Jn grief as be led her to the steps. r Departure Impressive . - . s : They climbed upon the platform whence President Harding used to wave his hand so cheerily at the wayside crowds both fumbled with the door' catch an instant, then the black clad figure stepped' Inside. Florence Ilard'ng v was with her deady , An instant later Secretary Christian entered also. Then; slowly, quietly, while all along the station : platforms the crowds stood with ; bared heads and, soldiers and v sailors drew; themselves up in salute, the train began to move. The lights on the last car, the! : President's car, dwindled and grew dimmer in the dusk and vanished as . the train rounded, a curve. " - The president was gone. 5 All Traffic Halted v, At 6:08 p. m. the body, was placed in the hearse and started for .thfr station, while the air planes flew overhead. After the band played "Lead Kindly Light," the buglers sound ed "right wheel" and the cavalry troop swung into; column at the head of the cortege. Chief of Po lice Daniel O'Brien had gone ahead in his car to eee that the way was clear. The navy band started Chopin's funeral march and the procession began its slow march to the train. - ' AIL traffic had been stopped. All public officers and stores were closed.! The only sounds were made by the tramp of men and horses. " The chimes of St.! Patrick's Catholic church a block from the hotel played "Nearer My God to Thee" as the cortege got under way. j Mrs. Harding Walts The navy dispatched 30.0 men from the barracks at Mare Island and 300 additional men from the TJ. S. S. Henderson, the naval transport which took President Harding and his party to Alaska. The navy band .from the Henderr son and an army band from Fort Scott and the Presidio alternat ed in playing the funeral march! Mrs. Harding did not leave the hotel with Jhe cortege.; She wait ed until 7 o'clock when she de parted, accompanied: by Dr. Charles E. Sawyer and Secretary George Christian. They rode in a closed car. Men from the 30th infantry at the Presidio formed a line on each side of the route to the station as an additional guard of honor. All patrolmen in the city except those necessary to pa trol the districts were assigned to the procession. Station Deserted The scene Inside the station where the presidential train was waiting was "a strange one. Plat forms that ordinarily are crowded with passengers were bare. Pas sageways to and from the trains were empty. Tracks . usually oc cupied by the trains were vacant. Only on the farthest track, near an arched-traverse to the street, stood the same line of cars that the , president's party had occu pied on the . trip west and one more the rearmost, in , which Mr. Harding had lived and laugh ed and worked from Washington to Seattle. ' ; Beside It the columns of the sta tion were wrapped in greenery and banded 'with black crepe to form a frame for an open window inits observation compartment. ! Evergreens Border Bier ' Inside the car was hung with black to typify a nation's mourn ing for a stricken leader and in the observation section .the broad windows through which Mr. Hard ing so often had gazed with pleas ure and wonder at .the mighty western peaks, were draped with black. . ; On the floor, its length paral lel of car, was a low black bier.

' F OF BERRIES GOES Frozen Loganberries Are on Their Way Today to Pie-. Makers of East Salem will ship the first car of frozen loganberries to Chicago this morning, through the Oregon Loganberry, Exchange that, has been making some, extensive ex periments with this method of preserving -logans. The car will contain 700 eases, each with two five-gallOn cans of frozen berries. , These berries are frozen right in the tin cans, and it is believed that they will keep for weeks, months, years, if necessary, pro vided ; only that the temperature Is maintained to the- freezing point. '; Berries were 60 prepared m Salem last year and were kept for a number of weeks at the Cap ital Ice & Cold Storage plant, without apparently the least de terioration. But they have not been offered in the outside mar ket at' least in quantities really to test their market worth.'.' It costs approximately 3 cents a pound to can, freeze and ship these berries to market. ' It is be lieved , however, that., they will find a ready sale among the Chi cago pie-makers, especially as the fruit can be kept fresh for the whole year, and the berries never take on the canned or evaporated taste. ; 1 H. H. Haynes, of the Haynes Foster Baking company of Port land and Salem, is preparing to go east soon to look after the sale of these frozen berries. Prom his own experience as a baker on a tremendous scale, he te confident that the frozen . berries will make a great hit with the market. If properly introduced. There, will be no very large supply for sale this year, but if the venture proves that the market takes to these perpetually fresh crimson pie dainties, the business of freezing logans will be established for all time to come. !
