over the phone, Mrs. Fulkerson
states. The grading work will be
finished earlier this year than
ever, and almost a soon as the
grades are determined the eighth
grade students will be mailed
their reports. This has been made
possible by previous preparation
of other data necessary before di
plomas can be awarded.

When the Willamette valley
will have direct water connection
with all the deep sea porta of the

pense, of a transfer in the harbor
of Portland.
As to the weather, the predic
tion is that Salem will be very dry
today. Though the country needs
to ga wet, with some welcome
showers.
s s s
The last flax was planted on the
14th on the Riddle farm in Polk
county. And the Riddles are
among the best farmers of this
state; and airing the largest. A
good deal of the early sown flax
is looking well, despite the dry
ness of the weather.
S
The canneries are registering
help. They will start up around
the first of June, a week from to
morrow, on strawberries, and
some of them on gooseberries.
. S
There will be a lot of berry
money from next week on, to the
growers and pickers and cannery
laborers. This will all help in
making business better in Salem
and it will last till up towards
the holidays, in taking care of the
various fruit and vegetable crops.
Note the item in regard to the
grower of strawt f ries, logan
berries and cherries who is look
ing for buyers. It. will be a pity
if any of these crops are allowed
to go to waste for want of market
outlets.

broken left leg Thursday after
noon while working around an
