'Uh-hub,' Betty nodded. "Tnt. the one who had been married a week Once. The oho who said he'd been around a good deal- mostly 'round home." They both laughed at the re membrance. He wasn't very nice, but" 1 think he'd been drinking," said Anne. "He was awfully afraid Betty was going to sit on his pie and in that case he'd have no supper." r "We spent that night at Sunny- aide. said Betty. . And slept in the kitchen," said Anne. " "Had to wait till they'd all got through with their suppers," put in Betty. . . 1 'We didn't mind," 'Anne con tinued "because they didn't charge us anything, and if they had we'd have bad to wait up all night". : "That's once we were glad they had no cabins in the camp," Betty added Then she went on: "We got our mail and our money while we were picking - hops, so we con tinued our hike. But we , had learned something; from that work as we had never seen a hop field before." They went on to tell how -good people have been to them since they've been west. On of them said, . "One man where we stopped for ,a drink told us that no one. out Jiero wouia trust any one till he'd known him five -years. .But 'they certainly haven't acted that way toward us. They have treated us like we be longed to the family wherever: we have been." ; I askd them what other work they had done that was a new to them We've, worked in the cannery. they told me. and showed me their hands. They had. ."We picked evergreen black befries," Anne said. "Our poor hands and arms and ankles! We picked four days." .'And have never been able . to collect our money," added Betty, "Once we nicked prunes. That was fun, If it was hard work. Our knees are hardly well yet. laid Anne. . -,.

"We are getting lots of thrills as well as lots of muscle," they told me. "And we do like Oregon and its people. We hope we can get work here in Salem so we can stay all winter.. It's a nice city." "Maybe we wont like the rainy season," Betty said. "But we are anxious to find out. You see we are used to winters with lots of snow and real weather." LEADS TO ILLS Attention Is, Called by" Road Master Culver to Silver Falls District The five-year . market road pro gram of the county court includes high, grade road within four miles of the main south falls in the Silver Falls district, and with in six miles of the north falls, near the bridge, traveling by way Of Macleay and the Waldo. Hills, according to J. W. Culver, county roadmaster. - , As five or six sawmills are now operating in this district, Mr. Cul ver said it would be useless this year to begin construction of good roads in the immediate , Silvr Falls district. It is thought that within a year or two several of the mills will hare cut their timber and then the roads will not be cut up by so much heavy iauling, From Silverton, the road to the falls Is in fine shape, having been completed this past summer. The falls at the bridge are known as North Falls, 146 feet, and Upper North Falls, 65 feet. Next summer a crusher will be located on the road to the falls lust north of the Union Hill school house. The road to the falls will be greatly improved to within four miles of the main south falls, with a fall of 184 feet. It; is understood that the road district In which the falls are lo cated appreciate the value of trav el to the falls and will from year to year levy a small millage tax to complete the road, connecting the south falls with' the iain north falls near the bridge. This will enable tourists to travel to the falls by way of Macleay and return by way of Silverton. . i Within a few years there will then be a fine market road to the falls, and travelers may make the loop, feeing the fine farming lands in the Central Howell district and the rolling hill lands in the fertile Waldo Hills district. yThe proposed market road pro gram, recently adopted by the cqunty court; means the construc tion of roads. wherebyT the road bed is drained and graded of the proper width, just'the same as if prepared for a paved roadJ The road is then covered with crushed rock and gravel to the depth pf eignv incnes bound tpgether with a clay filler. The road is then dragged and kept; 1q tine condi- Hoa, making travel over it as com lof table. as over paved roads. As an . illustration of. the proposed roads included in the market road program, -Mr. Culver says such a road, will be similar to the road from Sheridan to Tillamook, main tained by the state. yy In years to come, roads that come under the, market road pro grant, win be paved. The county Program otroad building will fol low the. plan of less paved; reads each year, but more market roads, leading, out . into the outlying districts.- .From eight to ten miles of roads will be paved next year; according to the program of the county court. .. y y ; v- - ; As soon as good roads are built Into the i Silver .Creek Falls dii trict, .whereby t raveles may make the loop, it is estimated that from 8.000 to 10,000 visitors will .Visi the falls annually;yThese are the figures ot the Salem Chamber of Commerce. , Kf .'.Marion .county now, has 138 miles of payed roads bntlt by the county, 3 8 'miles of paved roads built by, thetstatc. nd : then In addition the paved " roads in the cities. In Salem there are 53 miles of paved roads. Eugene Work. begins on S.

If you rturn these living death. If you-retum these life sentences it will be simply be giving them the opportunity to commit the same crime over again." The prosecutor attacked the plea of the defense that neither Willos or Kelley .participated in the actual killing of. , Sweeney, pointing out that the law requires that all parties to a criminal con spiracy in which murder is Com mltted are equally guilty and bus ceptible to the same penalties. "Should these two defendants escape the death penalty meted to Murray simply because they held back and allowed bim to commit the act which opened the way to their liberty?" . Carson asked. "There is no evidence of either of them holding back and refusing to take advantage of the deed he Committed. The responsi bility of upholding the officers who have sworn to serve your in terests rests with you in this case, ladles and gentlemen of the jury, and I trust that you will not be found delinquent in your duty."
