MADSEN .... SILVERTON, Sept. 18. Plans for the Poultry and Corn show which the Silverton chamber of commerce is sponsoring were discussed at the dinner of the chamber Wednesday night at the Reo, the first one held after the summer's vacation. The show dates have been set for No vember 20, 21, and 22. M. G. Gunderson, chairman of the committee in charge of the show, outlined some of the plans made. Consid able interest, Mr. Gunderson said, was aroused about the very successful poultry show at the community fair held here last October, and & great deal of interest is already being manifested in the approaching show. The Legion has a good many fine coops and the cham ber of commerce had ordered more so that, the committee feels, Silverton is very well equipped to handle a real poul try show. The place to bold the snow baa not fully been decided upon as. yet, it was reported Wednes day night. Two places are un der consideration the armory and the vacant Eastman building on West Main street. Some pref erence was shown for the East man building because of its cen tral location. Programs to be Daily Programs will be given each afternoon and evening of the show. At some of these, men well versed in the poultry busi ness will speak. There will also be some music. A suggestion was made that a "Turkey Day" be held on the last afternoon of the show. This would be similar 1 to the one held at Woodburn which proved so popular, It was explained that turkeys would be liberated from the top of various business buildings in town at in tervals of half an hour apart and that the excitement would be in catching the turkeys. Of course, who ever caught a tur key would keep it. Norris Ames, president of the chamber of com merce, suggested that 20 turkeys be let loose in this manner. No Admission to be Ctiarged The chamber of commerce voted to make the show a "free gate" affair. No admission will be charged. Funds for giving the show will be raised by advertis ing entrance fees for exhibitors, and - popular subscription among the members of tne chamber. Another matter of Interest taken up at the Wednesday night meeting was that of light ing Main street more effectively. L. Brown Bald the ugnting would be purely a matter of ad vertising for tenants and prop erty owners along Main street and that the expense would not be a burden to the city but would be raised from these ten ants and property owners. Con siderable desire for the lighting was expressed by many of those present and the chair was in structed to appoint a committee to go definitely into the matter and to take it up with those con cerned in the expense of It. The committee appointed consists OT P. L. Brown, George Steelham- mer, and R. B. Duncan. School Attendance Higher Robert GoeU, superintendent of Silverton schools, spoke brief ly on the local schools which opened Monday. He Indicated that, while a number of the chil dren are still busy in the nop yards and prune orchards, the registration already gave indica tion of being larger than that of last year. He reported that there were 43 Instructors this year and that 55 per cent of these were new. Mr. Goets brought to the notice of the chamber of com merce members, the record made during the summer by three of the local instructors. G. w. De- Lay made a straight A grade at Oregon State college summer session; II. Kramer made a straight- "l' at the' University of Oregon; .and Warren Crab- tree was appointed one of Ore gon's four master teachers at the vacational education conven tion held at Forest Grove. Plans for the winter's pro gram of the chamber of com merce were discussed. It was voted to start the weekly lunch eons on Monday, October t. Two candidates for the gubernatorial office will be permitted to speak at one of the earliest of these luncheons. New Families to be Welcome Mr. Ames announced that new families , who come Into the Sil verton community should be giv en an Invitation to the chamber of commerce dinners so that they will have an opportunity to meet Silverton business men ana women In a friendly manner. Anyone hearing of such a family was rea nested to report to George Hubbs, secretary of the chamber. A motion was made and car ried to the effect that the chair appoint committee of three to invite various organisations which bold annual picnics to bold their 1930 picnic in the Coolidge and McClaine park at Silverton. The many splendid features of the Silverton park as such a picnic place were pointed out. Mr. Ames will appoint the committee at his earliest con hoped It would. This quite conclu sively proves that the disease so prevalent in berry yards about Woodburn is cased by a tiny in sect. The encumber crop is expected- to be large this year. Rains, have nroved a rreat benefit to the eroo. According to Roy latt, secretary of the Woodburn Fruit Growers' Cooperative associa tlon, this year's crop is of good quality, as well as quantity. Will Call 20 Free Birds to be venience. Or. Morris, Clifford Rue, El mer Olsen and Dewey Allen were made a committee to make ar rangements for the monthly cnamber or commerce dinners for the ensuing three months. Three pretty dance numbers were given by Margery Hubbs, Joyce Simmons and Meriam Coo ley preceedlng the business meeting.

Only 1 1 weeks before, the Morning Oregonian which is the pio neer of all northwest newspapers, had published its first issue and had it not been for a delay in shipping press and type from New York City, the Statesman might well have attained the signal honor of the first newspaper in the great northwest. BORN IN THE CAPITAL. Years of territory history saw this newspaper neophyte, born and reared in capital surroundings, follow the path of the territorial statehouse, first to Corvallis and later to Salem when in 1 859 Orer gon came into the union and its political headquarters were located in the present capital city. Asahel Bush, a noteworthy Oregon pio neer, was the father of this early Oregon paper. On August 1 8, 1 884, R. J. Hendricks, then a young man of on ly 2 1 , became the principal owner of the property which later was to develop into one of the largest newspapers of the state owning the best equipped commercial printing establishment as well as the home of three Statesman owned magazines, the Northwest Poultry Journ al, the Pacific Homestead and Western Education. For forty-four years Mr. Hendricks served as president, editoi and manager for the Statesman Publishing Co. during which serv ice he saw Oregon grow from a puny, infant state, to the strong com mon wealth of today which boast s nearly a million population. For the last two years new owners have been adding their efforts to those of the sturdy predecessors, striving- to build for Salem a greater Statesman. A host of additions to the news service have been made. The plant and equipment of The Statesman have been steadily improved. The mechan ical and office staff has been carefully chosen. Newer methods of busi ness have been established. Each year The Statesman progresses as it seeks to add to the remarkable history of 80 years.
