Jus what Dixon means by "taking would pass to state hands are full disclosure of his plan.

Buyers for Fruit Ranches THERE is a revival of interest in orchard lands in south ern Oregon. A number of big deals have been pulled. reaching above the $100,000 mark.

J. HENDRICKS About the seven wonders A good deal is being said Just now in Oregon. The discussion was started by soma one n the Port land Oregonlan suggesting a list ot the seven wonders of that city, and many trials have since been made at Improving upon the or iginal enumeration. S S One of the editorial writers of that paper ventured in its Sunday issue a lst of the seven wonders of Oregon, as follows: 1. The Co lumbia gorge. 2. The forest wealth of the state. 3. Crater lake. 4. The highway system. 5. The Univer sity of Oregon and Oregon State Agricultural college. 6. Salmon fisheries. 7. Mount Hood. S S The seven wonders of the an cient world were usually enumer ated as follows: 1. The pyramids of Egypt. 2. Tho Pharos of Alex andria. 3. The walls and hanging gardens of Babylon. 4. The tem ple of Artemis (Diana) at Ephes us. 5. The statue of the Olympian Zeus (Jupiter) by Phidias. 6. The mausoleum erected by Artemisia at Halicarnassus. 7. The Colossus of Rhodes. "a The Oregonlan writer admits that his list ot the wonders of Oregon might be almost Indefin Itely extended; that his sugges tions are merely tentative, and when one gets started on such an unaertamng mere t s scarcely a stopping point. "a . The Bits man was asked to sug gesi xor me sunaay statesman a list of the seven wonders of Salem and he ventured the following: 1. Her history and historic shrines. 2. Willamette university. 3. Her position as the state capital. 4 The Willamette river. 5. Her civ lc center and natural settings for the City Beautiful. 6. Her fran chise crops. 7. Her geographic lo cation. S S He attempted a slight elabora tion ot the theme, giving explana tions of what was meant by Sa lem's history and historic shrines. her geographic location, the fran chlse crops of the district, and the rest. Now the subject may be said to be open for discussion. What are your seven wonders of Salem? Your idea of the seven most im portant foundations of greatness for this city and Its trade terri tory? W It is the idea of the managing editor of The Statesman to give opportunity for full discussion of the subject. And that would be good thing. If every thinking man and woman in this city and this district can get thoroughly enthu siastic on the subject, much good will be done. For the first and perhaps most important result, the inferiority complex that bas persisted here more or less; vast ly less ot late than formerly, will be overcome and dissipated. Salemites will be sold on their city. They will find by compari son that no city In the world. has more ot the natural advantages leading to greatness and general prosperity. Can yon think of any one thing that will do as much good? The Bits man cannot. It the people of Salem can all come to see and appreciate the potential values they hare here, they will work to realize their full develop ment with perfect confidence, and there will be no halt In growth and progress, but a mounting prosperity on foundations as sol id as the Rock of Gibraltar. There can be nothing but .hope for section and a city that continually Increases the volume and improves the quality of the products of its industries on tho land, to furnish the raw materials for its Indus tries in its cities and towns. This brings and 'wilt bring new money every year, from an exhanstless Who Need Looking Ml. Kit Fnarcm oMMe, Inc. Cr Britain nrtiti source, coined from its sunshine and showers and soil from mines of wealth that can never fail or pinch out or be worked to ex haustion. The Bits man hopes many Salem people will respond to the invitation of the managing editor. It would furnish interest ing as well as beneficial reading. W One year contracts have been made in the Lacomb district tor Marshall type strawberries at 7 cents a pound, and there are be ing offered four year contracts for these berries at 6 cents a pound. That is likely to bring a very largely Increased production o t these berries, for the cold pack demand, especially after next year. Only a little while back, in fact up to the present year, fears were entertained for the growers of this type ot strawberries. The cold pack process in cans and car tons was new and largely untried, up to last year, and there seemed to be an over supply of these ber ries put up in barrels. a Last year the Salem canners and packers took about 12,000,- 000 pounds ot strawberries from the growers; about halt ot them Marshall type or cold pack ber ries. They took about as many this year; and perhaps an Increased tonnage ot the cold pack varieties. " When will they double the ton nage? Perhaps soon. They will have no difficulty in getting the growers to supply 24,000.000 pounds, it they will show their ability to take them at fair prices. Seven cents, or even 6 cents a pound, is a good price for Mar shall type berries, and our people with the right kind of land who know how to grow them can make mighty good money in supplying them to the packers. This development will give en couragement, also, to our logan berry growers. If cold pack straw berries can be put over in in creasing volume, surely loganber ries can be also, with a little push ing, lor no better pie berry grows. and there are many other uses for this great bush fruit. And it stands up under the cold pack pro cess even better than our straw berry, which is saying a great deal. It stands up 100 per cent. in retaining all the Qualities of the fresh fruit from the vine. down to the flavor and aroma. There is one canner In Salem who tells the Bits man that the cold pack process even Improves the quality of the fresh loganberry. That is putting it pretty strong. for 100 per cent is strong enough, and no. other known fruit reaches that point. - Who knows how far the cold pack process is going to push our strawberry and loganberry indus tries? Salem Is already the straw berry center of the world, in vol ume of berries sent to tho mar kets in the form of jams and Jel lies and canned and cold pack supplies. NEW AMBASSADOR PARIS. Aug. 20.

FRY'S RELIGION HELD Calvary Baptist Church Pas tor Delivers Sermon Sunday Night Adherence to religious obliga tions, sacrificial, God and prayer, are tho thro dominant needs to the building of a successful man. Rev. W. Earl Cochran, pastor of tho Calvary Baptist church, show ed in his Sunday night sermon on "God's Search for ft Man." His text was from Jeremiah 6:1: "Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now ana know, and seek in the broad places thereof If ye can find a man, 11 there be any that doeth Justly, that seek truth." High points of Mr. Cochran's sermon followt Successful men in every walk of life are looking for men to as sist them in carrying on their bus iness. In the major leagues every team has a scout out looking for ball players to fill the ranks de pleted by age. accident and inef ficiency. Ever since God asked the question in the garden of Eden: 'Adam, where art thou?" he has been asking every individual the same Question. In other words, God is searching for men to car ry out his purpose. Man is the sum and total of his teachings and ex perlences. If man's nature and traing lead him to give his very best and he bows to the will ot his Heavenly Father, no matter what may be tho opinion of his fellows, he cannot but be a success ia the sight of God. Cod's man will always be a man who takes seriously his religious obligations. Deut. 6: God gave some very specific instructions re tarding man's obligations to his children, which takes in his neigh bors' children as well. Kiwanls has in its work the care of the under privileged child and in all of its activities the spirit above the ma terial is emphasized. 'Human hearts are hungry for gome- unseen power to give them peace and help to fill a void that this world can not fill. God is the only one who can fill this void and many of our troubles can be traced directly to the fact that we have not put God first. How shall we get this satisfaction? Let the Psalmist answer: 'Wherewith al shall a young man cleanse his ways, by taking heed therefore ac cording to Thy word. Thy word hare I hid in my heart that might not sin against Thee. How many young men can you think of who are living defeated lives, self ish lives bound by chains ot habit that will not let these young men seek the higher and better ways of life, when all the while God is calling these young men to leave the low paths of selfishness and seek the higher paths of the un selfish, the sacrificial ways ot life? "Tho story is told of General O. Howard, who occupied a command ing position in the American army and wbo, when upon a visit to one ot our large cities, was asked to attend a social function in his honor. He told tho committee in charge that he had an engage ment that evening. The committee could not understand how General Howard could have an engagement when they had wired directly to headquarters in Washington to make sure of General Howard' presence, wnen pressed ror an answer, he repMed, "My engage ment for the evening in question will be the regular prayer meet ing in the First Methodist church of which denomination I am member."- It is quite the common thing in this day to ridicule pray er, but my contention is rather than a sign of weakness, it is sign,of strength. God's man will be a praying man. "When God created man. he created him with power to will to lore, to hate, and man is the only one of God's creatures that has this power. God's man will keep in mind always those who are coming after. With all of the hates. Jealousies, tho strife and the discords of this life, snrelv we snouia aingentiy train our young people in the ways of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savmur who always went about doine eood who declared himself to be the saviour of all mankind."
