And so ft was, that, while they were there,; the days were ac complished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her urstDorn son, and wrapped im in swaddling clothes, and laid him In a manger; because there was no room for them in- the Inn. Luke 2:6 and 7. ( "- , I M: vc 1 SYMPATHY FOR PAMPHLFjy r Captain Robert Pamphlet, skipper of j the schooner Pes- cawha, was on Tuesday taken to serve two years in the McNeil island federal prison, and with htm went Jacob Woitte, "ground man" of the rum-running outfit with which Pamphlet operated; an international gang, to serve a like term, and Frank M. Bates, Woitte's chief aide, for a term of "18 months - And already there is. an effort to soften the severity of he penalties, through petitions for executive clemency. Pamphlet and Bates face fines of $5000 each and Woitte a fine of $10,000. Pamphlet was the man who ran the vessel that brought the rum, and Woitte and Bates commanded the gangs of bootleggers that turned it into cash. It was w film iiter big business in booze, i The whole scheme ran into many millions, being! world wide And high influence is being sought to back up the attempt at softening the law's severity Even, it is said, extending to Salem. , It is 'argued that Captain Pamphlet got caught with his boat full of booze when he landed a boat full of sailors from a wrecked vessel . " And that American sportsmanship ought to plead for him on account of this exhibition of sympathy and the instincts of humanity. What do you think? Do you believe President Cbolidge ought to come to the rescue of this rum-running gang, op erating on a scale placing its members in the multi-millionaire class? Is a big rum runner better than a poor boot legger? This is a noted case ; internationally noted. It is attract ing wide attention. . EVERGREEN BLACKBERRY CENTER The Bvergreen blackberry is distinctively an Oregon berry. It 'has been named the Oregon blackberry; ought to be known by that name. The acreage of the cultivated Oregon blackberry ought to be constantly increased Because the cultivated berry is larger and better flavored than the berry in the wild state; stands up in the cans bet ter. See expert opinion of the Paulus people. Theref ore it is calculated to better meet the market demands; is more stable And there are other uses. Is a good jelly berry, and good for jams and preserves, and its juice may be commercialized for beverage purposes And it may be marketed in barrels and cans The Evergreen has the' advantage of producing immense tonnages on small areas 16,000 pounds, and even upto 25,000 pounds tothe acrfrr And it is the great Die berry of commerce, because it stands up in the cans. Salem can remain permanently the center of the blackberry industry of this coast. Nearly all the Evergreen blackberries of Oregon are grown in the Salem district with Marion county first, Polk next, Yamhill third and Linn county fourth in tonnage produced. Thia viremiershin can be kent bv uuttinsr out more yards of cultivated EVergreen blackberries, and giving them the attention their importance deserves ; giving increasing ton nages and increasing fcizes, an improved flavor, and better consistency when taken from the cans in the pie bakeries of this and other countries. " Robert C. Paulus brings home good news concerning the prospective marketing conditions for our fruits and vege tables. Also concerning the general business of the country. Salem ought to have in 1928 the best year in her history. Now the days will begin to grow longer, and within a short time we will see signs of spring.
