Portland Journal, which goes on to say: "The New York market throughout the season has; been reported as bad for cherries. The container was five and a fourth inches in diameter and an inch and a quarter dfp. It wig rjurchased in New York by the former congressman, and now judge, Nick Sinnott, as dealers get for The Dalles cherrte. A similar conpmer bought in New York last year at 50 cents contained 42jcher- " ries, which thus cost more glimpse at the spread between producer and consumer m me Sinnott experience in buying abroad products from his own home town. About the highest been paying for Oregon cherries this season has been iu cents. A shipment of late Lamberts from Newberg yesterday brought. 9 cents, which was the grower's price less freight. less commissions. The price during the season has ranged as low as 6 and 7 cents. Oregon ' picked because prices don't pay cost of picking and market ing, doesn't mean that the consumer 3000 miles awa?! gets them at bargain figures." It looks like a "big spread" from eight and a half to hjine or 10 cents a pound to the Oregon grower of black cherries to 50 cents for 42 to 50 of them by retail in New York or other east- t era cities It is a big spread. But the cherries must be precooled here ; they must refrigerator cars that have to to the eastern markets ; and storage at the. other end, and delivered to customers in good . a a ey. Ana there are many otner toll, and commissions to pay. But even so, the Oregon break. The cherries are not too high in New York. Thly are worth the cost. But the grower ought to have a larger jshare of the high price the consumer pays. No doubt this will be brought about, when the black cherry tonnage here is larger, and the growers are Jbetter organized to cut out the tills of the men who stand between them and the consumersj For tunately, the canning industry in general has learned t4 pack black cherries so they will be acceptable to the consumejr, and will not entail losses tothe canners by pitting and bursting the cans. I ANOTHER MONUMENT TO A COW The erecting of a monument to the memory of the - noted Holstein cow, Segis Pietertje Prospect, will no doubt ibring forth adverse criticism as did the erecting of monuments to the memory of Vive La France, the great Jersey cowjj Gay lord Perfection, the Shorthorn bull that won fame n the show ring and as a sire of outstanding Shorthorns, andj other animals that have distinguished themselves by I their achievements. Some think it is sacrilegious The thought back of the would not permit any such conclusion. Those men wh$ have been responsible for these marks of honor to the dumb ani mals have no thought of being no sense are they "worshipping' these animals. It is simp ly a mark 6f recognization of their achievements. It tas no connection with religion or sacred things, and is not in tended to have. Any pigeon that flies farther than any other pigeon has ever flown is entitled, to a news -story, and the cow that has Iuced irwre ihflkUhan any other cow is entitled o the same consideration, and her record is of interest toj those wno are striving along the same line. Then why no erect a monument to those animals that have accomplished what no other animal of its kind has ever accomplished aSLd not try to connect such actions things? THE SOLID SOUTH (Corvallis Gazette-Times) We hope all the postmasters the south who bought and sold penitentiary. This is the sort solid. We played golf with a is -a life long Democrat but won't vote for Smith. We asked him if that meant he would vote for Hoover and he said he didn't khow,yet, he adnired Hoover greatly but hel didn't think he could vote for him ."If he said, "I would vote for him in a hurry and often and so would thousands of other southern Democrats but, we: figure that a vote for Hoover is a vote for the negro national, com mitteeman from our state and cians.

We can see no hope for th Sduth unless the better classf white Democrats Jjnifce with the better clasg of white Republicans in sufficient num ber to make a majority, which is probably not possible. We do not believe any of he. campaign stories to the effect that Hoover may carry some of the solid south states. If he could get all the anti-Smith vote he could, but it simply won't vote. The United States department of commerce reports that the. American people are spending approximately $2,000,000 annually more for chewing gum as each year goes by. Back in 1925 they spent only $54,117,121, a report just issued by thefpurious Harana fillers and its department of commerce said, mounted to $58,018,271. Thirty chewing gum and by-produots reported in 1927. The people of the Salem district who are engaged in the mint industry will note this piece of news with interest. More chewing gum, more peppermint oiL The center of the high class mint indus try has moved to Salem, and it portance each year. The Slogan pages of the Sunday Statesman are being pre pared. The subject for this issue will be the goat industry. It is becoming a great industry are in the Salem district. A lot of money annually comes to this section for mohair and for breeding stock. The milk goat industry is on the increase here. But the whole goat industry in this section ought to be twenty times larger than it is now. If you can tell some of the reasons why, the Slogan editor will be glad to hear from you, The more overwhelming the defeat of Al Smith the better for the United States. It will be a warning to men backed by the sinister influences that are behind him that they must not again presume to place such a present any major political party. FIRST 5 YEARS HARDEST DIVORCE STUDY REVEALS (Caetiaaad from pa( 1.) years, and fn two others it had lasted for less than 12 months. In fairness, though. It mutt be noted that one Eugene marriage lasted only seren months. The case was contested in only IS of the dlTorces, and 90 were not contested at all; In the other 2ff cases there was no statement of whether a contest was made. There were 10C children affect ed by the proceedings for the year. Eleren of them were over 21 years of age; the . other 96 were minora, and all of the min ors Happened to be under 17 years of age. One of these latter was an Infant two weeks old. In the majority of cases no children were affected, but there were us ually two and often three affect- ted when there were any. Ia six of the cases, one or both parties had been divorced at an other time. In practically half of the cases, marriage bad lasted less than five years; 3S were married between six and 10 years; 22 mar riages had lasted 11 to 20 years; six had lasted from 21 to 30 years, and three from 31 to 40 years. Five official causes were given for complaint; they were cruel and inhuman treatment, drunkem- s and non-support; desertion; felony; fraud, and annulment. The first cause tallied over 80; there -were 37 cases of desertion. aix of felony, and one each of fraud and annulment. The col umn of the report headed "Real Reason" gave a wide variety of sidelights, and each entry told of misery and tragedy. Cases of neglect were common, and the use of abusive language was en tered frequently. In many cases the- husband associated Intimately with other women and sometimes was married to snother woman. The entry after one wedding at Camp Lewis in 1918 reads: "Note: A war marriage; property rights settled." Another entry la simply "They grew tired of each other. An uncontrollable tem per was the cause for trouble in many cases. One entry which gave little information but much room tor speculation was in par entheses "Husband Scotch." The report by Itself is full of Interest, and the data assembled give room for considerable Inquiry and food for thought.

While Mr. Hoover's plans are not rully complete he expects to spend three or four days in the Redwood district of northern Cal ifornia fishing. The republican nominee appeared to be much ben efited by his trip across the conn try and his friends explained that this was because he had been able to escape the grind of campaign organization which has occupied ms attention for several weeks. POLICE EFFECT MORE ARRESTS IN MEXICO (CoBtinoad frost Bar 1-) er the police department entirely to the most prominent Obregon leaders In order that they might have full charge of the Investiga tion of the murder of their lead er. Punishments Loon President Calles had declared that all the "intellectual authors" of the crime, those who inspired the actual assassin, will also be punished. At the same time the president announced that the au thorities possess evidence of cler ical action being involved. Former Foreign Minister Saenx, one or uoregon's closest friends. who is being mentioned as a possi- oie president pro tem after Calles' term expires on December 1, was a young captain and at Obregon's side when the General's arm was shot off in the battle of Celayra. Saenz was eitting beside Obregon at the fatal banquet on Tuesdav when the assassin killed the presl- aent-eiect. ; Son Offers Service One of the last acts of Obre gon s ' son. Umberto. before de parting on the funeral train for Sonora was to go to police head quarters and to offer to remain In Mexico City if he should be needed to assist the authorities In the Investigation, but this was declined because the officers teatr ed the consequences If. during the various examinations, be should come face to face with! his fath er's assassin. ! Although considered one of the greatest generals that Mexico has ever produced. General Obregon always preferred civil to military life. When he entered a revolu tionary army ot Madero- ho was asked how lone he was willing to remain In the army. "Only as ldng as the country needs my services," he replied, -j - v .

ENTIRE BRITISH EMPIRE WANTS TO ENTER PACT (Continnad from paf 1.) briefly take cognizance, however, of the other stipulations re'terated in the London note while those for Australia and South Africa ontllne for themselves the same under standings. In the British foreign secre tary's note it was recalled that In a previous communication he had pointed out that respect for league and Locarno obligations "was the foundation of the policy of the government of this country and that they could not agree to any treaty which would weaken or un dermine these engagements." Af ter mature consideration the note added, the London government was satisfied that fulfilment of Its obligations under the league cov enant and the treaty of Locarno was not precluded by acceptance ot the treaty proposed by Secre tary Kellogg. Stipulation Met The previously stated British position that if one party to the proposed treaty resorted to war in violation of Its terms, other parties should be released automa tically from obligations under the treaty toward the violating nation, had been met satisfactorily, the note went on, in the stipulation on this point Inserted in the pre amble of the revised draft. That stipulation denies to any treaty power resorted to war against another signatory "to pro mote its national Interests." all benefits ot the treaty. "In the light of the foregoing explanation." the British note said in conclusion, "his majesty's gov ernment fn Great Britain are glad to Join with the United States and with all other governments simil arly disposed In signing a defini tive treaty for the renunciation ot war as transmitted in your note of the SSrd of June. They rejoice to be associated, with the govern ment of the United States ot Am erica and the other parties to the proposed treaty in a further and signal advance In the outlawry of war." SUSPECT SAYS HE TOOK PART IN P. 0. ROBBERY fT afad naij aanaiio3 steal the safe. Leaps From Car The alleged confessions de scribed the robbery, the subse quent looting, of the safe, which was carried from the store, and the battle with the deputies. Stroft said he jumped from the automobile when one of the dep uties stepped on the running board, and ordered them to throw up their hands. He said he had his pistol when helping load the safe into the automobile. "Ton had the shotgun?" asked Metxler. "I never used the shotgun." re torted Stroff. "I didn't shoot for the reason that I would hare hit Btehop or Bill. "It was your intention to shoot your way to freedom?" the pros ecutor asked. Admits Intention "Yes. I wanted to get that money." replied the prisoner. The authorities said Stroff. be lieving he was held on a charge of robbery, said be wanted to be tried on a federal charge of rob bing a postofflce. and evade the habitual criminal act. He was unaware that both Bishop and Carpenter had been, killed, and that murder ' charges would be filed against him. j Police said Herder, who Is the youngest of the bandit trio, is 24 years old. He was sentenced to Oregon state penitentiary for burglary In 1918, and was paroled four years later. The district attorney said Stroff would be taken to Weavervllle. county seat of Trinity county, next week to face a charge of first de gree murder.

They paid enough for it. because it was not then worth paying taxes on S S But It is now worth many times the price they paid, and It will be worth a half million dollars be fore the linen mills out that way are ten times bigger than they are now In number ot people employed, which manifestly Is not going to be ten years off.

There should be a movement soon for an athletic bowl there, which will certainly be needed before long. S "W Hugo Bettauer's play, or rath er the play adapted from his book.

Bet tauer himself was . murdered by Jew baiters abroad shortly after the book's publication. The book tells of the plight that befell a great city because of a law ex pelling all the Jews. Such a law in New York would leave nobody there but the police force." S There are being erected in Sa lem two fine sorority houses.

All the roof ia in nlace except for the tower section, and interior work is well under way. Brick veneer ing Is rapidly covering the con erete walls. The five units of this first building will house 340 men in most modern accommoda tions. As the units, though built into one structure, are entirely eoarated by fire walls and will form the basis for five hall or eanlzations. the regents are ex pected to give a name to each."

July If (AP) In years may be known the answer to one of tbe most popular and th most debated of all astronomical questions, whether the planet Mars is inhabited or not. by mean-. Of a giant telescope ten tlnn more powerful than any existent now. Professor G. W. Rltcher, d signer of the world's greatest tele scopes, the 50 and 100-inch r Hectors at Mt, Wilson Ob.e-va tory In California, believes that his newest reflector, on which he has been working id Paris for four years, will make science of a legend. 4 "If cities exist oa Mars." Profes sor Ritchey said, "we shall them with the new telescope.
