A HEAL SABBATH "Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the wet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto the Lord; neither be ye koitv; for the joy of the Lord is you atrenRth." eh. 8:10. " TWO THINGS If the bankers and live business men of Salem and the other cities and towns- .of Marion county are alive to their best interests, they will do two things They will demand that a county agent be provided for And they will see to it that 1500 acres of sugar beets are grown in this section next year. - They can do these things, by acting quickly, and with determination.' They can back farmers and renters who will grow the beets. They can convince the members of the county court that Marion county is neglecting a lot of its best opportunities for development for the lack of a good county agent. . PENITENTIARY CAN REBUILD ITSELF "What we are mostly reading about now Is how to make state Income meet state outgo. "There is more to be paid out at Salem than there is power to collect in. The need is for something like $1,300,000 more than the legislature can appropriate to meet even regular running expenses. "And there are new needs for money. There will be call for an Appropriation for a new normal school. And there will be call for a new tuberculosis hospital. And the penitentiary is an old firetrap. And on every hand there Is need for additions, extensions and improve ments to State property, to say nothing of the county requirements and school needs and sundry and divers other expenses." The abpve are the first three paragraphs from an editorial article in the Portland Journal of yesterday. The penitentiary does need better fire protection But it will not for long be a charge upon the taxpayers of the state for either maintenance or improvements, if the present program is carried out consistently If it is made an industrial plant, with every o.;e at work; and each one working to the best advantage, with improved machinery and appliances and equipment. This may require some additional funds to buy new and improved machinery for the flax plant and the lime plant, and for shoemaking and other lines i Rut nrovidinir for such funds may well be regarded as a loan.'.to be returned from earnings. :In other wards, the penitentiary starting as it is right now, with a little temporary help in providing new equipment, can soon increase its profits to the point of self support, and beyond that point, so as to grow from its own work into a model institution, with good buildings in every department. This will take good management, but the institution is entitled to good management. It will mean good discipline, along sensible humane lines, resulting in a high per centage of reformations They run to 85 per cent at Stillwater, Minnesota, the insti tution after which the Oregon penitentiary Ls being copied ; the revolving fund laws of both institutions being almost the same, word for word. The latter statement is made on account of the fact that a correspondent in the Oregonian of a few days ago made the assertion that such a high percentage of reformations - is absurd. That has been the average percentage at Stillwater since 1905, when that institution became self supporting and beiran to build up a surplus in its revolving fund. This sur- l.w hn hen aa hieh as $4,000,000. It could be doubled, in al short time, by adding a fraction of a cent to the price of binder twine used by the farmers of Minnesota ; and still they would be making a saving in their binder twine, compared with the cost to farmers of other states. productivedeep rooted and drought resistant; canes semilralUnic. perennial in orne sections, but . they should always be trained as though they were biennial like other varieties; root at tips.

It does not seem to grow old. It has produced here as high as 16,000 pounds to the acre, j and it may produce 25,000 pounds, with proper cultivation and irrigation. . Nearly all the Evergreen blackberries of Oregon are grown i in the Salem district with Marion county first, Polk next,! Coincidentally came the an nouncement of the installation of automatic checking machines. The new machines check each ar ticle for one franc.

It Is not too late to add to the Christmas cheer fund, and espe cially to make contributions of food and clothing. N la And this fund ought to be kept going, for several weeks; till work becomes more plentiful. That will not be long. In the mean time, it is the duty of our people, and should be their pleasure, to re lieve cases of actual want.

The Wu soldiers looked well trained in the pictures; but the Feng forces have better training; finer discipline; are kept spick and span to the last degree. And the Feng sol diers have something to fight for. They are fighting for a united country, governed by the people. The Wu soldiers fight for an over lord, ambitious only for power and Kraft. A returned missionary told in a speech at Salem. Ohio, a few days ago, of a strange thing. He told of being awakened, early in the morning, by the singing of Christian" hymns by 26.000 of Marshal Feng's men. They are all Christians. 1 p. m. Rev. D. B. Poling of Al bany will officiate.

E. ALLEN Hardware Paints Machinery - j OUR GREAT PIE BERRY OF COMMERCE The Evergreen blackberry is distinctively an Oregon berry; It has been suggested that it be named the ''Oregon-blackberry," and that it be so known in commerce ; a good suggest- ion. It could be consummated, with proper advertising. We have constantly increasing reasons for encouragement concerning this great pie berry. The industry has become a stable one, and it' can be continued as such, and there is possible enormous expansion, without danger of over produc tion; ' Only a few years ago, the Evergreen blackberry was a pest, in fence corners and on roadsides. . It has developed into one of the great berries of commerce. Like the loganberry, it was an accident. How the; first seeds were carried to wstern Oregon, to the Salem district, is not known for a certainty. But that the Evergreen is peculiarly an Oregon berry, and peculiarly adapted to our soil and sunshine and showers in attaining perfection in growth, yj certain. The Evergreen blackberry is peculiarly well adapted for canning. It "stands up" in the cans. In this respect it is in a class by itself. It has a distinction all its own. But there is also opening a demand -for, this pie berry , in, barrels and large cans frozen berries. It is calculated to go in that trade with our loganberries with them, in nearly all markets, and ahead of them in some.. :C ' :. ; What is this Evergreen blackberry?
