Hearing Will Air Grievances THE Statesman has observed with Interest the campaign of the Capitalournal over the practices and charges of the local water company. White thus far the campaign has much the appearance,of a 'vast bellows and a few tiny coals, it does bring into the foreground all the complaints which water-users may have against the private company's handl ng of the water service in Salem. In one respect we are satisfied that the Capital-Journal is. wrong, and that is in complaining because the company sent out bills for "estimated" consumption of water the past month, made out that way because meter boxes Were cover ed with snow and many of them frozen. Sending out esti mated bills is not at all uncommon. It is done regularly in cold climates; or the minimum charge is made during the time of the freeze-up. When putation according to the actual consumption is made and the correct billing is rendered. This Is such common and Ac cepted practice that the shock to he Capital-Journal seems surprising. Estimated bills are frequently rendered by other utilities when for one reason or another the meter could not be read. Unless the utility is dishonest it works out fairly to the consumer. The electric company here only reads the met ers once each two months for domestic accounts, though the rate base is for monthly consumption. As to the complaints that the charges of the present company run higher than those of its predecespr, this writer can express no personal opinion. We were buying our water in CorvaHia then; and we haven't dared say it was better water at less cost for fear the Capital-Journal would have us hung at sunrise. That was the fact nevertheless, though Salem people have no complaint over the present quality of the water. There is a proper course' of procedure and that is the air ing of all complaints before the public service commission. Its hearing is still on tap, and every one with a complaint should appear before the commission and cite his grievance. -Uncertainly is apparent that Salem made a big mistake when it did not take over the water utility when the recent change was made. The Statesman has- previously committed itself definitely in favor of municipal ownership, and still believes that Salem ought to own and operate its own water system. But we have heard kicks against charges and meter readings in municipal plants such as are being made here at ptesent. The type of ownership doesn't do away with protests against water bills. The Soviet Calendar A correspondent writes from Moscow: "Calendars for 1930 have only five days to the week and so December 29 was our last Sunday." The Russians are planning also to reckon time from 1917, the year of the revolution. This is year 12, A. L. (After Lenin). , " The Russians make six weeks to the month in their new calendar, each week having five days. Of course such an ar rangement would not be acceptable to the western world which insists on its Sunday for religious purposes. The sov-i iets had it in mind in arranging their calendar to abolish Sunday and thus thrust a dagger blow at religion. Von never can make any headway with the weather man. Ha is so used to turning down people who kick on the brand ot weather he ,- t predicting, .that whatever is suggested, he is generally "agin" It. JJn the matter ot the location of Salem's recording instruments, when , it4s suggested to bring the thermometers in out ot the cold at the airport, Mr. Wells says they are located in just an Ideal spot. We quite agree provided he locates Portland's recording Instruments . oat at the airport, and Albany's and Eugene's. AU Salem wants Is equal treatment. Being the natural center ot everything, it expects to be the zero center and the heat center; but it thinks there Is . something wrong when there is a difference in recorded tempera-'- tures of 17 between here and Albany and about the sams between here and Portland. Bat the weather man never explains anything. Now that the worst is over, let the instrumens stay at the airport i through the summer.

J. HENDRICKS The Bits mam made a Journey, a few days ago late the Anaheim and Santa Ana district, below Los Angeles. S That is one of the big walaut districts of California, sad en ot the oldest. But many of the fin est and oldest walnut trees are being grabbed up. There are eords and cords ot large walnat logs piled up la the walnut tracts. Is W There are several reasons.' A man was on the stage with the. Bits man, going down, who once owned one of the finest walnut orchards In that section. He held oat for a long time against the movement ot the cities and towns that are being extended Into the farm ins districts. The tare of high priced lota is the cause tor some ot the destruction of the walnut orchards. As he pointed to thef Hilar stations and road- aide eating places and the little new homes along the highway, he indicated where his orchard and his farm home were, up to a few years ago and he said it made his heart sick every time he pass ed that way. "b S W Another reason for the eords of walaut logs is the fact that it does not pay to grow walnuts where oranges can be successfully grown and lemons, avocados and other high priced fruit crops. Tea. the avocado grows oa a tree like fruit, thOBfh it la used mainly as a salad, or spread oa bread like butter. The avocado addicts claim the dietary excellence ot the tasteless or greasy tasting thing Is what makes for its pop ularity and high prices. S S V The Bits man picked oranges and grapefruit and avocados in the orchard of a friend at Ana heim. A new experience. " Is S W There Is an oranre grove of Id acres ta that district that yielded a gross return of $25,000 tor one crop a few years ago. The total cost for Irrigation water, culti vating, picking and packing (ev- erytnmg outside of taxes) was II.V00. Net return Slf.000. Wal nuts will not bring that large a net return. Nor will oranges, ev ery year.'. The oresent cron is light, thoagh prices are high: and tne net amount realised from the aeres wul be comparatively sawn.

School children are registered, tor a part of the seeded help. When tho smudging is being- done the forces must work all night. The neighborhoods of the orange groves are covered with the smudge. It penetrates everywhere. Nobody la immune. It Injures or destroys hangings and curtains aad masses np the whole neigh borhood generally. The smudge smokes are a terror to hoose wives, ven la the towns and cit ies la the neighborhoods ot the orange groves. "a But vigilance Is the price of success in orange growing, as In most other things. It may bo that some day the serviee that is now performed by smudge pots with organized armies of smudgers will one day be done by merely turn ing a switch. The electrical en gineers are working on the prob lem now. m One of the reasons why walnut trees are being grubbed up in California has been given in this column before, it is becanse the water table is getting lower each year. It has already fallen more than 10 feet, taking the average tor the atate. la fact. Mr. Noble, owner of tho Sky Line orchard near Salem, found oa investiga tion that the water level had a year ago goae down more than 10 feet where tt was originally, 'mat adds to the costs ot every one who is obliged to pump water for ir rigationla both tho greater lift and the additional machinery to allow a treater lift. b S Thora la no Question that the Willamette Telle win become the nut aTowlag center of the United statoa: tho center of wroductlon if or walaata, - filberts, chestnuts and other adiblo ants not requir ing the conditions found In the tropics, tus ts as goon as orn cial.
