Nearly erery other store front in - town repainted some time during: the year, new trimmings on the two , bank buildings. No failures in busi ness, every one- to be found in in their usual location. A cheek of the town's payroll short time ago. indicated that it . had decreased some, not as much as was to be expected. Part of this due to the fact that the Willam ette Valley lumber company has not. ceased to operate on a six day schedule or two shift basis. True, the hours hare been .short ened and wages slightly cut, but family men are able to manage, where many other communities dependent on a saw mill are suf fering acutely Sat this time. The harvest season for prunes, was short this year and prices low. so many persons have found it difficult to get through Of Most Profitable in Home in Beautiful Setting I - Besides raising this large fam ily, the Niblers hsrve prospered to a surprising degree. They make over S5.O0O a year, clear profits, on their small farms. Mr. and Mrs. Nibler and the chil dren work hard to earn this liv ing. They raise practically ev erythinr that can be raised from the soil. From' their farm the following items are sold in the market: filberts, apples, cabbage, straw berries, loganberries, gooseber ries, rapsberries., walnuts, - black berries, peas, cherries, flowers, honey, tomatoes, pampas plumes, squash, pumpkins, eggs, filbert trees, raspberry, strawberry and blackberry plants. Through moat of the year they keep a title stand in their yard, which is near the Pacific high way There they sell many of their own products and. thereby do away with the middle-man. and keep their, entire profits at home. The Niblers have many regular patrons who buy at the stand or front the house. Their Chain and Half Held Cause for 99-Foot Streets This may be true and it , may not, but it is likely to . no me truth. - . When JLhe early Metnoaists. under thedlrection of William H. Wilson were laying out Salem, the civil engineers used the old Guenther's surveyor's . chain of 60 feet. ... . As there was plenty ot room in the Willamette valley In those days, the snrveyora lust meas ured out OS feet for the width of Salem's main streets and then added for good measure, half of the length of the surveyor's ehaln, S3 feet, . . There you have It. Tne cnam and a half made 99 feet ana that is the width, of streets in the main part ot, Salem. f WOOD5TJRN, .Dec Jl The Woodburn farming community experienced an average year dur ing -the 10S0 season, both in pro duction 'and prices, according to Eugene Courtney, local banker. "The price in berries, fruit and other farm products,' says j Mr. Courtney "was normal, out tne prices for other farm products were low. in the Woodburn dis trict, as they were in an. parts of .nnlltrT " , ; Ur ronrtner also pointed out the faet that the red berry dis ease, which has been prevalent m California and southern Oregon tor Quite a number of years, spread to berry yards about the Willamette vauey tnia nmnwti and, as a result, about 121.000 worth of berries were left bang- lnf on the tines, still green. Some growers lost as much as 75 per cent, of their blackberry crop. The Woodburn Cooperative Fruit Growers' association has been attempting to find remedies for this disease ever since it made its appearance. Three represen tatives were sent to California early in the summer to study Catt- tornia's metnods or eomoatung the disease, which la caused by a tinv mite. r - The experiment station at Ore rsn fitaU collere in Corvallta has imi working with Woodburn berry iTowers to-check the dis ease and to find efficient sprays. The berry - fistt belonging to Dennis Norton, wno uves two miles east of Woodburn has been turned into a test plot where various experiments are being trieo. by the state college pro- PMIIMI PBtces FOB I KOT- BSD tyYear the winter.

' Much of the provision was donated, and funds neededcame front the Christmas cheer 'fund started by the Xtemlxer-Obserrer. Ftramaai Add Track - - ' For added protection to the community the firemen at their own expense added a new truck to their fire fighting equipment. Throughout the year they put in much time renewing broken toys for the children who would other wise be forgotten at Christmas. Among the well known persons whose kindly faces will be mis sed on our streets t for : long time to come, are Lee Fenton, who passed away early last year, CO. Coad and John Ford, who died within the last week. All were pioneer residents of Dallas, well known to every one In the community and, had many inter esting stories to tell of early -day history ! Many . 'other thoughts fly through my mind, bright ' Inci dents here and there, pleasant contacts with the people of the community, other contacts not so pleasant, but all in all living: in a small town, being more or less familiar with the changes, Im provements, pleasures and griefs are more than wen worth while. It makes yon feel that you do be long and are a part of it. Entire Valley 5eventeen - cre lract; wild blackberries are famous in the Woodburn district and they are practically all spoken for many weeks before they are ripe. The Niblers' success depends greatly upon the fact that they are specialists. They -do not raise livestock or keep a cow. "We stick to what we know and like . best, and let the meat raisers and dairymen supply our butter, milk and eggs. That way, everybodvs profits. says Mr. Nibler. They have one light team of horses which they keep in a neat little barn. No odors ever emit from this stable, as the litter Is taken directly to the filbert or chard, where the trees will get the benefit. They do not raise chickens but buy a few occa sionally for eggs during the win ter and for meals. It is interesting to note! that the Niblers make ; about i times the revenue per acre from their farms than the average American farm. Such, conditions don't "Just happen." . - longing to H. F. Butterfieid Is te be made Into test plot soon. "Offers of fruit prices axe ap proximately the same as they were last year." staed Mr. Court ney. "We hope to have a normal crop next year, and with good prices, we are looking forward to a business increase. "Strange as it may seem, de posits in this district are slight ly above those of 1111. The local demand for money has been about a 10 per cent Increase over last year. We expect heavy demand for small loans. Taken as s, whole.! the Wood- burn district enjoyed a fairly good year, in comparison with conditions in other parts ot the country."
