' Salem folks have a custom of assuring prospective visitors in parties and conventions that their Invasion will not send the dinner price soaring, nor curb fruit sales flyfag high. Salem hotels and restaurants do not take advantage of a sudden influx of visitors to boost prices, city officers and agents declare with assurance. Since 5 per cent of Salem peeple own their own homes and 93 per cent are native born, the visitor Is assured ot civility and helpful ness from 100 per cent of its 2C, 260 souls and 36.000 In Its me tropolitan area. Members ot state conventions like to come to Salem to see the state capital builings, Willamette antversitv. th flax industries. Marlon county seat interests, the peppermint Industry, its fruit and vegetable Interests. And. besides, Salem la recognized as the most beautiful ciTic center in the en tire northwest. But aside from all these things which attract the eve and the ear. It Is convenience to other towns in the state which gives Salem an added attraction as a convention elfy the city's geographical loca tion,' expediting travel from all di rections by reason of that central location. The Willamette valley has a greennesa and . f resnness ever conducive to buoyancy of spirit, visitors agree. It may be reached by daylight drive from as iar south as Medford, 251 miles; and as far north as Astoria, and east as far as Bend. Ore., 190 miles quite easily. , Among conventions now sched uled for Salem this year are: gathering of U Eleetrical Na tional Inspectors of the nothwest district, September 21-23.

RECALLS OLD METHODS 1 ' ' : ...... . . I : Silverton Dentist Tells of Pioneer Practices v INSTRUMENTS PRIZED By LILLIE L. MAD3EM SILVERTON, April 11 In spite of his 77 years, Dr. Arthur M. Blackerby, the dean of Silver- ton's healing professions, is still busy in his offices on South Wat er street at Silverton. Dr. Blackerby was born at Drift Creek, three miles south of Sil verton, on June 30. 1853. His early years in the dental profes sion was spent with Dr. L. 8. Skiff at Salem. Later he supple mented this early training with post graduate work in dental colleges at : Philadelphia. Penn sylvania, and i Los Angeles, Cal ifornia. Dr. Blackerby has an Interest ing collection of. pioneer -tools and books used in the dental and medical professions in Oregon's early days. If your Jaw held, the tooth would come out. Dr. A. F. Black erby explained, when asked about a block-looking Instrument found in his offices. The instrument, which reminds one of a small au ger, was the means by which many a Marion county pioneer back In the early '50s lost a tooth, r Dr. Joseph M. Blackerby. the father of Arthur F., was the wielder of the Instrument. Dr. Joseph was Silverton's first doe- tor, dentist, and druggist. In explainlag the use of the toot h-pulllng Instrument. Dr. Blackerby said: "My father wrap ped a silk handkerchief around the handle to keep it from slip ping and another one around the Jaw to koep it from breaking, and then gave the thing a yank. Us ually the tooth came out." There Is a mortar and a pestle. in Dr. Blackerby's collection, by which meais drugs were mixed, and a "pill board' upon which tablets were rolled out, tor in those, days each doctor was also his own druggist. j . Old Books Interesting I A grojp of old medical books Is of Interest . "The Chemical Catechism", published in New York in 1824, is not far differ ent, according to modern chem ists, from books of chemistry used today. This book bears the signature of James A. Haydon, precepter of the elder Dr. Black erby -at Plttstield. III. Another book, "A Treatise on Indigestion and its Consequences", published In 1825, by J. Crlssy, contains much advice and Information which could be followed today with benefit and which is still valued by medical men, says Dr. Blackerby. In . the collection la also a dentist's license dated Feb ruary 1, 18C4 to May 1, 1865, signed by H. B. Parker, deputy collector. This cost $12.50, and Dr. Blackerbv remarked. "And now we kick about the fee we hare to pay today, and it is much smaller." Tom Jenkins, former heavy weight wrest ting champion. Is wrestling instructor at the West Point Military academy. ' Fifteen games have been sched uled for the University of Ken tucky's 1931 baseball team.

GLATT SILKED JHMSEfM Ray Glatt of -Woodburn. was non-commltal when asked this weekend regarding his talked -of candidacy, for, state agricultural commissioner. He said be was by no means seeking the job, did not know whether he would take it if offered him and was somewhat surprised that his name had been considered. ; J , ; . Th push for Glatt apparently comes from Earl Pearcy and H. R. Jones," both prominent in . the hor ticulture . business v where they, have learned to know Glatt and tor admire his ability. . i Glatt first' was mentioned as a possible -candidate for -the- head of the plant industry division of the ' new department of agricul ture. ' As such he would be- ap pointed by the new agricultural commission, subject to the gov enrer's approval.: Later the talk verged around to Glatt for agri cultural commissioner while some people have suggested he would be an excellent man for horticul tural representative on the advis ory board of seven which is to serve without pay and to consult with the agricultural department heads. f . - - Max Gahlhar, Polk county far mer and fruit-deal leader,.
