canning statistics. Last year ap
proximately 5,500,000 cases of
canned roods were produced. In
Salem- alone. 900,000 , cases were
produced -In other words, better
than a sixth, of the entire output
of the northwest was in this city.
V Himrinir that I the' average case
is worth $4, the total value of the
canning Industry to the northwest
last'year was about, 422,000,000.

' A canoe fete will be one of the

May Day manager. - - . :
- Tbe festivities are to' be held
Friday 4 and Saturday, . AprU 30

Three or four times before a

this cannot be done, the exercises
will , be -; held wbero . they werein
former years, between, the gym

location is considered last choice,
however, as it is not large and the
ground is fax from smooth. ;
: J ast ' what t will be the nature
of the- dances this year ha not
been' -disclosed. Some " criticism
was.. made : of last year's dances,
some individuals holding that ' un

County Jndges 'and- commis
sioners, of the state at their an

ably go on record favoring legis
lation- providing for the return to
the counties each . year one-half
of the nfoney contributed in mo
tor vehicle license fees 'Instead of
one-fourth - of the- amount as pro
vided, under ' the r existing. laws.
This - was announced here Satur

ty commissioner following con
ference with C P. Barnard; conn-
ty- Judge, of ; Lane county, - who is
president , of the county jadges
and commissioners . association."!
Mr, Smith is secretary of the or
ganization. ,, v ;
The 25 per cent of the license
fees: now' returned pro rata . to
the various 'counties, is In lieu ot
a direct-property tax. -
Commissioner' Smith alleged
that as a result of the" marked
increase in the number of motor
vehicles in the state there could
be returned . to. the, cquntles BO
per cent of the amount: they con
tribute in automobile license fees
without endangering payment of
the bonds and interest resulting
from T highway; ! 1 construction, apd
malntenence. 1
Figures obtained from the
state department; showed that
nring the period from March IS,
1925. to March 15. 1926, the state
highway commission received from
motor vehicle license fees a total
of 24.H2.500. . Of this amount
J1.3 87,500 , was redistributed to
the': countiesi License fees . re
ceived by the state from motor

ed 25,55 0,0 0 0, with the prospect
that this amount will be Increased

k- "It is ' not our intention to
cripple in any way tho state high

sioner Smith,! "Our plan Would
not hurt the Commission for ; the

fees. would provide as much mon
ey as it receives, nnder present

the added revenue, however; and
are entitled to it. . We have been

State Contrast Reveals
""The highway system of Oregon
is as . excellent as those ot t most
states and far in advance of any
state of the same size in popula
tion and capital," declared H. B.
Van Duzer, member of the t state
highway commission, in an -: ad
dress Monday noon before mem
bers of the Salem i chamber of
commercef -X i 'M
V 'There are' now 4,463 miles In
the t state highway-4, system!. ,-' Of
this number 900 miles are. paved.
All of the remainder except about
1,0 00" miles is either in 'macadam
or travel.; ' The 1000 miles is yet
to be completed."',"'" i'
4 Mr; yanrDuzer stated that,- the
highway; from. The .Dalles "to the
California Bns-' Will ' be completed
by the end of this year. ; ,.
. ; At . present . Oregon,, has ; three
highways bisecting her. One ex
tends," from the Idaho line to the
Pacific ocean, .the other is the
Tlphn Day highway; and the. third
la; the highway, from ;The Dalles
to the California; Hne., i
.It is ot prime importance to the
state to have the highway between
Klamath and Lakeview completed,
he held, as it will open up Klam
ath county. lie recalled the former-slogan
of Klamath county:
"This ; is the eounty Oregoft - for.
got.'
r Except for a few overheads the
Pacific; highway : Is - completed.
Tourists have wondered why these
Overheads': have not been 'complet
ed. ' The overheads are at points
where-It - has been, found feasible
to go above a crossing,. ? The coun
ties must pay;a' part of the con
struction and the . highway com
mission is' ready to go' ahead with
them as soon as the counties can
handle their share, of the financ
ing. , . ' . . ' 1 ,
Completion ot - the bridge at
Harrlsburg marked the elimina
tion of the greatest obstacle , the
commission had . to contend ; with
on the Pacific highway. j ';
Now V that"' the bridge is com
pleted, the' main Pacific highway
passes through Salem. As Salem
Is the capital of , the state; every
tourist traveling- through ' Oregon
should come through this' city. . '
' "We Will create' a good Jmpress
ion with our tourists it we advise
them to go ' back over the west
side," Van Duzer suggested. 'TThey
are bound to come through here
one way, any how, and we should

sung with such a' poignant sweet"

pais the audience begged, to un
dergo a second time, and would
willingly have heard the third and
fourth. , : ' ; I
Brahms''Gypsy. Song" was vig
orous and colorful,' for contrast.
- Notable In . Mr.. Strauss final
group, all sung 4 in English,-r-was
the Cecil r Sharp - arrangement
of the balladic "Lord Rendal,"
which-' Mr. Strauss delivered as a
miniature drama. The ballad,
dating as. far back as the 14th
century, is "an authentic tragedy.
!' Hagemann's Do Not GdMy
Love'-was another peerlessly in
terpreted, number which the audi
ence insisted upon hearing a sec
ond time. " Numbers by Tom Dob-
son, Arthur 'Bliss, and the folk
song, "My Father Has Some Very
Fine Sheep,." added further inter
est to an extremely, fine program.
Mr. Strauss added , ast' encores
the. Negro spiritual, Y'Slng Low,
Sweet Chariot," and a piepdlous
song, entitled "Stairway.". hv ? '

accompanist, won the ' admiration

; The greatest major project In
the state today, is the Roosevelt
highway, which is 407 miles long.
By the time it has been, completed,
according to Van Duzer, it. will
have cost about 240,000 a mile,
not including the bridges. 5 .
' It is the plan of the commission
to - complete; the; south' end' and
then the north end; - All of the

The. question 'of the desirability
of , closing' , the two. Nestucea
streams - located in Tillamook
county, to commercial salmon fish
ing, will be the leading topic . of
discussion at the regular meeting
of 'the Salem Rod and Gun dub
to be held In the Commecial club
rooms at 8 o'clock this--evening.
Due to the-generallnterest. among
the sportsmen of the locality re

may. attend. ;r .1, . " i:

matter comes as a part of State
sportsmen through, a movement
started by a number of fishermen
to have the streams closed to com
mercial netting and used for sDort
fishing exclusively. .
The arguments favoring the
proposal center around the con
tention, that the value to the state
of the two streams would be in
creased : it closed because of the
attraction they would be fortour-
fats from out of the state and the
analogy was drawn with the fa
mous 'Rogue River of southern
Oregoa that is famous throughout
tn- for W steel hedliish-
4 Ityal also pointed out by a
number of sportsmen who have
fishedrthe streams "that they could
neyevfurnish satisfactory sport
ihinV;as long as. they were, open
to commercial netting because of
tho Interference the nets cause the
sportangler.
, The present value of the
streams is shown by game com
mission statistics to be fairly well
represented by showing' that some

This catch was divided between
Bome fifty men which makes a to
tal season of leas than 1.Q00 apiece
to each man. - 'Z . , '
.1 The 4 arguments opposing the
measure are that-the fishing: In
dustry: Is" Important In Tillamook
county, ranking third amond the
commercial activities, and that the
move " would ' be " an J" unwarranted
Interference, Jt.is alsd contended
that the. proposal.- wonld be un
just to a large number of men

Industry. According to' the fish
commission" statistics the fish tak

about f: 10 per :ceat; of the total
