a -.1.1 -ii.:
IT seems that Salem isn't the only city that has a complaint
about the, weather records which the weather bureau ac
cepts from local observers. "Over in the Yakima valley the
towns are wondering why they should be so much colder
than Yakima and attribute it to the fact that Yakima, like
Portland, et al., keeps its thermometer on top of a building
down town. But while the weather forecaster at Portland i
tells Salem that the proper place for thermometers is out at
an airport where they get the benefit of all free breezes, the
Yakima Republic comforts the other valley towns with the
assertion that the weather bureau prefers to put thermom
eters on top of buildings so they will not be affected by
ground temperatures.
We don't know just which position is correct; but the
weather bureau ought not to have one practice in the Yaki
ma valley and another in the Willamette valley. If the re
cording instruments ought to be put out at the airport,
okay, but put Portland's out on Swan island, and so forth.
Here is what the Yakima Republic has to comment on the
tveather reporting in the Yakima valley:
"The Toppenish Review would have it generally understood that
a reason why there is so much difference between minimum tempera
tures here and at other points in the valley is that the official ther
mometer hqre is on top of a nice, warm building, while elsewhere It
13 down on the ground. 'Hoping thereby to relieve the uneasy condi
tion of our contemporary In connection with the watter, we will say
that weather stations most everywhere are put up in the air If pos
sible, not in order to nrovide an unfair renort. hut to avoid around
temperatures which may fluctuate on account .of ground conditions
which usually would. do more to make temperature readings inac
curate than the influence of a building below. Here the variations
between the ground and the weather station do not regularly run
as great as the Review advertises, but sometimes may run to four or
fir degrees. On the first cold night the difference between the offi
cial thermometers of Yakima and Toppenish was but one degree a
difference so slight that it need not be accounted for by extensive
explanation. The Yakima station Is not the only one placed on a
building in this valley, and all of the reports from Seattle, Portland
and Spokane are readings of thermometers on buildings. Two or three
times a year the Republic mentions the location of the official ther
mometer so that Its readers in town may possibly account for vari
ations between it and their own instruments purchased often with a
- guaranty of accuracy. Probably the range in temperatures reported
"ir and down the valley would be almost as wide either in summer or
winter, if all the thermometers were on buildings.'
ocenery m
, ITESTERNERS are proud of the scenery which the irreat
f f Pacific coast region possesses. From Pike's Peak to the
Golden Gate and from Glacier Park to the Yosemite there is
excused for concluding that oil of natural wonder and beau
ty and majesty ar elocated west of the Mississippi valley.
But there are other beauty spots scattered over the United
States as those who have traveled over it or read about it
Veil know.
There is the coast of Maine .rugged, wild; the verdant
mountains of Vermont ; Watkins glen and Niagara falls in
New York. We recall too crossing the Alleghanies by moon

S
The Bits man has long sound
ed their praises and been an en
thusiast concerning their impor
tance, as most readers know. But
there is greater reason for what
some readers of The Statesman
have regarded as over abundance
of enthusiasm than the Bits man
knew prior to his visit to and
investigations in California dur
ing the past tour weeks.
These reasons may be summar
ized by a conversation on the
Southern Pacific train a few
days ago with a prominent and
well informed wholesale dealer
in canned goods, and fruits and
vegetables in other forms, well
known in Salem cannery circles,
who has offices in San Francisco
and other California cities, and
who is a veteran in the trade.
Among many other things, this
man, who did not know he was
being interviewed, for which rea
son his name la not given, said
that if he were younger (and
more ambitious), he would at
tempt right now to organise in a
large way for taking advantage
of the cold pack trade that is de
veloping, with especial reference
to the opportunities that are
looming for the marketing
through this outlet of Oregon
fruits and vegetables; and with
more particular reference to Ore
gon strawberries, and Oregon lo

He went on to say that Califor

grower nave every reason for ex
pecting much greater things than
most of them have dreamed of.
He said California is limited, in
the canned goods markets, to
four major crops peaches, apri
cots, pears and tomatoes. And he
added that Oregon and Washing
ton pears are better flavored and
textured, and make a higher class
canned pack, than California
pears at' their best. California

while ago, for tB a case. They are

would be selling at that price if
any were to be had. The boards

And he talked of Oregon ever

to see them all harvested, within

there will be millions annually

most readers know, in a number
of patches in the Salem district,

the Californian being quoted said
that many dealers prefer the

claiming for the former a bet
ter flavor though It may be
somewhat short on uniformly
large size, as compared with the
cultivated berry, especiaUy that
grown in western Washington.
Then he talked of the great fu
ture that looms for WiUamette

for the profitable investment of
large capital in the WUIamette
valley, in the growing of our su

He spoke of the goodness of
Oregon canned strawberries and
loganberries, as now recognized
by the trade everywhere but he
said our canned pack cannot
compare with our cold pack pro

Letters from
Statesman Readers
Jan. 29. 1820.
West Salem, Ore.
Editor, Oregon Statesman:.
I wonder if you would give me
space la your excellent paper for
a few comments on the "Lay Ser
mon" using as a text Key. 7:1.
which appeared In last Sunday's
issue of Th Statesman.
It Is always very Interesting to
the Bible student to read and
hear different Interpretations of
the prophetic portions of the
Scriptures, especially the "Revel
ation," a book so rich In poetic
imagery and so replete with
symbolic meaning. However, In
studying this book and seeking
to interpret its figurative lan
guage, we should never lose sight
of the fact that there is a deep
meaning ta each symbol used. It
ia true that we should not seek
to Interpret these symbols so lit
erally as to seek a "dictionary
meaning"; on the other hand, one
who gives to them a wholly 'fig
urative meaning jjtterly (alls to
grasp the .fact that la this vision,
or series of visions, rhrea to John.
on the isle of Patmoa la revealed
a prophetic message; a message
which is of so much importance
to us all that in the prologue
(Rev. i:S) we ara told that
Blessed Is ha that readoth and
they that hear the words of this
prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein.
This special blessing anon the
study and understanding of Its
contents la pronounced upon the
perusal of ao other book of the
Bible: therefore, it would seem
that this "Revelation ef Jesus
Christ is worthy et oar most
profound study and our most
earnest thought,
The first thing one should do in
beginning the- study of this high
ly important prophetic portion of
the Holy scriptures Is to seek to
find the true significance of same
of the symbolic references- in
stead of guessing at their mean-tag'.-
There saast be one right
method of Interpretation, aad one
only; tor we are told ta S Peter
1:20-21 that No prophecy of the
Scriptures ta of any private inter
pretation, for the prophecy came
not in old time by tie will of
man. but holy toon of God sPafce
as they were moved by tha Holy
Ghost;" and we are farther told
U 1 Cor. 2:12 that ia Baking to
know "the deep talaga of God'
we should wmpare "spiritual

thology or oar owa Individual
fancies regarding the sway of hu
man emotions and passions, we
should "Search the Scriptures"
for the meaning of the "winds" or
Rev. 7:1.
Let us turn first to Jer. 2g: and
read verses 89 to 88, Inclusive.
A careful perusal of these verses
win disclose that here warfare
and destruction by the sword is
referred to as a "great whirl
wind; we read that "Evil shaU
go forth from nation to nation,
and a great whirlwind shall bo
raised np from the coasts of the
earth." Again, fin the prophet
Daniel's account of one of his
visions, (Dan. 7:2) we read;
"The four winds, of heaven strove
upon the great sea. That this
text also deaotes warfare among
nations is shown by reading the
remainder of the chapter, with es
pelcal attention to tha reference
In verse 12 to th "beasts."
"Kings," see ver. 17 losing their
"dominion." This gives us a
Scriptural Interpretation of the
word "winds" used as a symbol
in Biblical prophecy; an Inter
pretation which seems still more
clear and convincing tf we also
find an explanation of the signifi
cance of the word "sea" as used
in the same phophecles. We find
a plain interpretation of this
word in Rev. 17:15; "The wat
ers which thou sawest . . . are
peoples, and multitudes, and na
tions, and tongues." Clearly,
then, "winds" blowing or "striv
ing" upon the "sea" denotes war
fare and dissension among the
nations of the earth; therefore,
the logical Interpretation of the
sermon text is that it foretells
how, in a Urn of commotion and
unrest of warfare between na
tions, the winds of strife shall be
held by angels of God and pre
vented for a season from blow
ing Have we not seen the fulfill
ment of this prophecy in the ces
sation of the World War while the
nations were still at enmity, and
unparalelled slaughter and fright
fulness were abroad in the earth?
In this great conflict, neither side
was actually vanquished! and
peace, coming so unexpectedly to
most ef us by the signing of the
armistice, must surely have been
brought about by the holding of
the "winds" by angels of God.
This seems to be tha meaning
of the text under discussion when
interpreted by the Biblical me
thod of comparing Scripture with
Scripture; however, I feel that
the lesson it teaches is incomplete
if we take only this very brief
text less than one verse in
length as a sermon topic. To
grasp the full significance of this
prophetic vision of four heavenly
angela holding the winds of strife,
we should endeavor to ascertain
why the winds are being held and
for how long a period. So, in or
der to make the lesson more com
plete and comprehensive, we
should take the first three verses
of Rev. 7: as our text, instead of
using only a portion of verse one.
Allow me to quote them;
1. "And after these things, I
saw four angels standing on the
four corners of the earth, holding
the four winds of the earth, that
the wind should not blow on the
earth, nor on the sea, nor on any
tree.
. 2. "And I saw another angel
ascending from the east, having
the seal of the Living God: and
he cried with a loud voice to the
four angels, to whom It was giv
en to nurt the earth and the sea,
3. "Saying: Hurt not the earth,
neither the sea nor the trees, till
Cafl on
i ba.va aaaled the servants Of
our God fa their fpreheads."
n. ratillnr versa one In Its
proper setting; this Is, In con-
Junction wun tne two louowmg
verses we learn that the four
winds are to be held until a cer
tain work is accomplished by
"another angel ascending from

read. "ascending from the sun

this work is completed, the four

that subject Is of so much Im
portance and interest tnat it
would rennlre too much sDace to
consider in this article.
In closing, let me beg the read
ers of the "Statesman" to beware
lest in striving to avoid the dan

we fall into the error of going to
