LOGANBERRIES COMING
Harvest Will be in Full Swing by
End of This Week
loganberries are coming to the
Salem packing houses now in daily
increasing quantities.. The harvest
of these berries will be in full
swing by the end of next week.
Strawberries are still coming In
large supply. In barreling ber
ries, the crop is shading off rapid
ly, it win not last in considerable
supply after the end of this week,
from the low lands, but-some will
still come all next week from the
hill country, up Silver Creek Falls
way; though one large grower
brought in his last picking of these
(Marshall) berries yesterday. But
he will have Etterburg type (can
ning) berries for a couple of
weeks yet. So will many growers
from the hill districts.
So loganberries and red and
black raspberries and cherries will
be in full supply before the last of
the strawberry crop is brought in
to the packing bouses.
It looks like a busy canning sea-
eon, clear up to apples towards
Christmas time, with some vegeta
bles In at least one cannery; the
Paulus cannery.
It is well assured now that- all
the strawberry crop will be taken
care of. And all-the loganberry
crop, too. with drying to eke out
the cannery demand.

BALTIMORE. Md., June 18.
(AP) Withdrawing from the
field , of democratic presidential
candidates within just a week of
the national convention at Hous

Maryland, in a statement to the
Associated Press tonight said that
"Governor Smith is in every way
fitted by experience, character,
and ability to assume the leader

win.
In stepping aside for the New
York executive, whom he said
"justifies the peoples' faith in
democracy," Gov. Ritchie added
that he would instruct the Mary
land delegation to cast its strength
for Gov. Smith.
There was no exception In the
Marylander's mind that he would
be offered the vice presidency, but
even though it might be, he will
not accept It.
"I am profoundly convinced no
consideration of self or of personal
advancement on any one's part
should be allowed to stand for one
moment in the way of the success
of the democratic party which is
the natural champion of self-gov
ernment and popular self-rule."
Gov. Ritchie said.

This amendment had the sup
port of all but one councilman.
Those who have been favoring the

to table the ordinance for the rea
son that two of its supporters
were absent. One was Alderman

from the republican convention at

not to Mr. Maxwell's barbecue, but
to changing the zone so that other
businesses, perhaps undesirable,
might be located there. He coun
seled" leaving the matter as it
stands.
City Attorney Fred Williams,
when called upon for an opinion,
said the council was morally
bound to pass the ordinance, hav
ing already sanctioned the change
by adopting the zoning commis
sion's report; but that in his in
terpretation of the zoning ordi
nance, the change i not in effect
until the ordinance is passed.
Don Miles.1 attorney for Mr.
Maxwell, had stated a different in
terpretation of the, zoning ordi
nance, holding that the zone was
changed when the report was
adopted and that : the ordinance
now under consideration is re
quired merely for the council'?
convenience in keeping the record
straight.
Mr. Miles said that he had ad
vised his client to open the res
taurant, in good faith believing
that he had every right to do so.
Rev. Thomas Acheson. pastor

Instead of limiting public meet

cil prohibited them altogether
within the fire limits last night by
amending and passing ordinance
No. 2640, which was aimed at tbe

This action was taken by unanl-

forbids meetings in the fire liau

handicap the Salvation Army,
which is in full accord with Rs f
