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. We seldom have
much snow or very cold weather here after January 10th.
