L BUT SEASON IS LATE (Continued from Page 1.) There will be eight canneries In operation, counting the Oregon Packing company's 12th and 13th plants as two. The output will be larger this year than last, if the fruit crops turn out well. The tendency to run the Salem can neries two or three shifts will be purred up this year, with "good crops; working night crews on crops needing the least labor, like loganberries and prunes. There has been a clean up all down the line, excepting in the case of - the higher grades of canned loganberries, and these re held over in 25 per cent less smaller volume than at this time last year. There are only a few Other odds and ends. The barreled pack of berries is also still on hand in quantity, but not of a large size. There is a waiting market, the dealers fear Ing a slump after buying. A small movement would conceivably lead to a clean up of the barreled bar Ties. Some of the canned logan berries have gone at losing prices to the packers. Prices Already Are Being Quoted Growers are being offered six and a half cents a pound for Et- terburg (canning) type strawber ries. Some of the cold pack (Mar shall) type has been selling at five cents. Gooseberry growers are being offered two and a half to three cents a pound, against one and a half to two and a half at this time last year. The canned gooseberry stock Is all cleaned up. All that are of fered this yea will be taken by the canneries -here. Of course, gooseberries will not get high again,, unless blackberries go up. One largely influences the other; Bin g for pie stock. One exception ought to have been noted in the outset of this article, giving a favorable pros pect for all of our fruit crops. The . .exception Is loganberries. There will not be as many acres of quality berries this year as last. Too many patches have been ne glected. Canneries Will Run At Foil Capacity . But there will likely be all the canneries will be able to handle, unless there shall show up a shortage In the general supply of canned fruits. There are Indications of a good deal of damage to fruits in Cali fornia, especially peaches; but there are some conflicting reports mm r Its TtM There are reports of damage to early peaches in the Salem dis trict; but the total acreage here Is not large. 1 - All In all, the cannery and crop outlook here Is good. This ap plies to nearly all crops of this district. This outlook will been . hanced by a couple of weeks of dry weather for seeding, and then occasional rains. Including the "nsnal June rains. ? From present Indications, the ; eannerles of Salem will need forc es running to 4000 people In . the OUT DDK GOOD Prince and i v5 4r vi .j . t J - W 7'A After two yean of wedded bliss, Pol Mdivanl have agreed to part. busy season this year. The canning business here looks better than it has for several years. Most of the packers came out whole or more last year, even with some losses, like those on lo ganberries. But 192S was better for them than the year before. AT Enrollment in the Salem schools reached 5,333 with the month end ing April 12, according to reports compiled Monday afternoon at the superintendent's office. The schools gained 37 pupils over the month ending March 15. but con tinue behind the total of last year when at the corresponding period 5.424 were enrolled. The senior high school showed no gain over March, with 1227 pupils on the register, but the figure is 27 more than a year ago. A comparison of attendance for the period just closed and March shows: School April March Englewood 354 344 Garfield 3 62 356 Grant 328 327 Highland 352 351 Lincoln 184 182 MeKInley 281 277 Park 305 304 Richmond 295 287 Washington 229 228 Leslie Junior 467 46 Parrlsh junior .... 949 947 Senior high 1227 1227 TO LAY NEW SPUR The public service commission Monday granted an application of Swift & company for authority to construct an Industry spur track at grade across High street in the city of Eugene.

The sopho mores were reprimanded by uni versity authorities for violating tradtion, were fined two "quality hours" each day and forbidden to hold a junior flunk day the next year. Although the seniors and jun iors depart without official auth ority on these annual flunk days, tradition prescribes that the fac ulty shall not record their ab sence. Pupils All Born Same Month, Said It Is not often every member of a class has a birthday in the same month, but that is what County Superintendent Mary L. Fulkerson discovered of the four members of the third grade In the Sunnyside school when she visited there Monday. These four students were born in August, and so were two more of the 11 pupils enrolled in the school. And on top of that, the teacher celebrates her birth day in August Mrs. Fulkerson also visited the Salem Heights, Prospect, Fairvlew and Rosedale schools yesterday and at each gave the third grade reading test which the county principals' association and her of fice are sponsoring in conjunction with the school of education of the University of Oregon. These tests will be finished shortly, she reports. At the Salem Heights school Mrs. Fulkerson found about 15 of the youngsters engaged in taking oil painting lessons after school hours under the direction of the upper Intermediate teacher, Mrs. Agnes Booth. Monday they were painting Mt. Hood, and re cently they finished some good re productions of "The End of the Trail." The young artists' class grew out of their Tegular school work in water colors, a number evincing so much interset in paint ing that Mrs. Booth offered' to hold a class after school each Mon day night If they would furnish their own oil paints. 75 Salem GradsFrom Elsewhere Twenty-seven per cent of 75 of the students who will graduate from the local high school In June have received paTt of their sec ondary schooling outside of Sa lem, Principal J. C. Nelson has found In compiling a number of statistics from their record cards. Of the 75, 39 have attended high school In other Oregon towns, five hare earned credits In California and the same number In Iowa, four in Washington and three in both Idaho and Nebraska. The Philippines, Missouri, North Dakota and Minnesota each claimed two and one student re-, eeired part of his high school edu cation from Montana, New York, Wisconsin, Kansas, Arkansas, Ok lahoma, Hawaii and China. Further statistics reveal that two of the Graduates will be IB years old, S, It years old, TO, 17 years old. ,;"?'

Proposed Farm Aid BUI Put In Early The heavy republican majori ties In. each branch hardly were Installed today before the admin istration machinery which has been grinding away here for a month had put the new $500,000,- 000 farm relief measure before the house.

Today was the first time the house elected last November had assembled and 402 of the 435 members were present. As in the senate, the democratic strength had shrunk considerably from last session with a corresponding in crease in the republican lineup. The senate previously had as sembled and received its new members on the day after inaug uration but another new one, Henry Allen, of Kansas, came for ward today, to take the seat cated by his old political rival, Charles Curtis, the new vice pres ident. Oaths Administered To New Members Mr. Curtis administered the oath to Mr. Allen and also to Bronson Cutting, republican. New Mexico, and Robert Lafayette, re publican, Wisconsin, who were elected again last November and who were unable to be present on March 5. The appearance of Oscar Be priest, a negro, who was elected by Chicago republicans to fill the seat of the late Martin B. Mad den, was the first time in 28 years a member of his race has been In the house. He took his seat near the rear of the chamber with the republicans and was sown in along with four other members of the house who still face contests over their seats. All but one of the eight worn en members of the new house were present today. Mrs. Lang ley, of Kentucky, a veteran of last session was absent on account of illness.

The house had the only contest of the day, a perfunctory one over the speakership. Representative Longworth, the republican nomi nee, received the 259 republican votes present today and a 153 democrats balleted for their new leader,- and their candidate for speaker, Representative John N, Garner of Texas.

The mayor then charged that Mr. Hicks had changed his speci fications since talking to him, as he had wanted to build the roof with one inch of lumber beneath the fireproof roofing. "I never said so," Hicks replied. "You told me that was what you wanted to do," the mayor In. slsted. Mr. Hicks explained that he had agreed to two layers of Inch ship lap on the advice of several coun- cilmen, although the leading local architects had recommended only one inch, and all garage roofs In Portland were so constructed. Tlnly Veiled Threat Hurled By Uveeley There was more along tne same line, including a threat by the mayor to "put on a code twice as strict." but the matter wasn't de cided. It had all arisen after Al derman Watson Townsend had moved to reconsider the suspen sion of rules to pass this ordi nance; and his motion prevailed. The ordinance will come up for final disposition at the next meet ing. Two other amendments to the code were passed under suspen sion of the rules, both Introduced by the mayor. One repealed the section making the fire limits cor respond with fuse tones three and four, returning them to the area boundd by Marlon' and Church streets and South Mill creek; the other modified the requirements as to windows In business struc tures. At the suggestion of W. M." Hamilton of the building code re peal board, the council tentatively agreed upon amendment Increas ing the number on the board from three to five. Called upon by the mayor, Mr. Hamilton said the code probably would need some revi sion, but that amendments should be studied carefully, as the code had been prepared with great care by the Pacific coast building code conference. CITY'S AIRPORT (Continued From Pag- 1.) however Instructed to prepare plans for an intercepting sewer line on Church street from Mis Ion to Union, at an estimated cost of 952,215. This was on the or iginal program, but will net be built until the remaining bonds are sold. The ordinance relating to in stallation of cluster lights, de sired by the High street business men who plan a lighting program on that street, was passed with amendments. Another ordinance passed was the one granting an additional franchise -to the South ern Pacific company for a spur track on Trade street. Two ordinance bills were read for the first time, one regulating the pasturing and keeping of live stock and fowls and the other amending the parking ordinance. The ordinance bill announced as forthcoming, proposing an amended franchise for the South ern Pacific Motor Transport com pany for its bus lines in the city, was not Introduced.

Pleasing Program is Given By Oregon State College Folk at Concert in Salem Professor Paul Petri, director of the conservatory of music, Ore gon State college, accompanied by Lillian Jeffreys Petri at the pi ano, gave the finished and wholly satisfactory program Monday night in the quiet charm of the Roberts Studio which the Salem MacDow ell club devotees .have anticipated since his appearance was announ ced In February. The program was unusual In both the choice of composers and the subjects of song presented. Few of the standby artists were in evidence. Instead Professor Petri presented with sympathetic Inter pretation a group of French num bers, an early English song, "The Pretty Creature," a group of Ger man songs, and then came directly Into the Intense and powerful "Drei Wander" by Hans Her mann. This was followed' by a composition each by Grieg, Rob ert Franz, Richard Strauss, and Carl Loewe. Half the charm of Prof. Petri's program was its diversity and its rareness, and the other half was the charm and versatility of the singer and artists that is Prof. Petri. It is hard to Individualize any one song from the total program; each carried so much in itself that was expressive of real beauty. "Old German Folk Song" as sung by Dr. Fred L. Farley of the Col lege of the Pacific, Stockton, Cal.. and a two-act comedy, "Pyramus and Thisbe," shared the major parts of the program, each being well received. Miss Ha Comstock and Miss Joy Hills coached the play, character parts in which were taken by Bill Trindle, Doris Ross, Howard King. Bernice Rlckman, Liston Parris, William Moses, Ralph Coulson, Richard Devers, Claude Matthis, Sam Harbison, Hortense Taylor, Ruth Baumgartner and Helen Burk. The closing part of the program was given in an effective Roman garden scene, with Katherine Gou let presenting a reading of the story of Glaucus, Nydia and lone. Six girls, robed in white, gave a pleasing dance, "Roman Frieze." Participating were Evelyne Ross, Elva Sehon, Dorothy Burk. Ruth Smith, Dorothy Kellogg and Olive Jo Anderson. Musical numbers were contributed by Joan Evans. Elizabeth Boylan and Kenneth Ab bott. Miss Laura V. Hale Is faculty advisor to the Latin club, consuls of which are Richard Baker and Gertrude Winslow.

This second to the last program of the MacDowell club for this year" was Introduced by Mrs. Ar thur Rahn, president of the club for this year, with a few very apt words of appreciation to Prof, and Mrs. T.
