Pudding River' THE editor of this paper along jvith A. R. Eastman of Sil verton, member of the Izaakj Walton league, and W. B. Gill of the Woodburn Independent, rvisited lower Pudding river Saturday down where the complaints of stream pollu tion came from. The situation seerjied to be clearing up decid edly at the resorts on the lower fiver. There had been sev eral hundred dead fish at Colvinls resort the middle of last week, but they had been buried. The stream, so those at the resort said, commenced clearing jup on Thursday and now seemed all right so that swimming was being resumed yes . terday. There had been some ded fish at Shade-E-Acres, though not so many. At the Aurora auto camp and above there were still a number of dead fish, which had not been cleaned out and buried. There wasjalso a brown float or scum on the water just above the pontoon; and across a neck there was a scum or film, greyish in col6r, on a still portion of the river. At the camp floats the water showed presence or con siderable vegetable matter. There was no odor noticeable ex cept from the dead fish. At Killin's bridge northeast of Woodburn the water was as clear as usual, free from odo or external trace of im purities. At all points along the stream live minnows were seen, and sometimes fish of fingerling size. At John Ram age's nearby, where there was a pfle of drift across the river two dead fish were seen, and hundreds of live minnows. There wa3 no scum or float on the surface of the water ex cept for leaves above the drift. Even at the outlet of the drain carrying the waste from the Woodburn cannery there were -many live fish observed, and the sediment did not discolor the water for a distance of many yards. j There is no question there were hundreds of dead fish in the lower river. It becomes a question of scientific fact as to what killed them. The cannery was operating since Aug. 7 sate" :4li " 5, m&utiBBv BITS for BREAKFAST -By R. J.

Meier & Frank of Portland devote a a fA "The Orpo-nn Prune". "Ureeon ctows prunes su perblyand markets them weakly",! starts out tne ao. aii- fornia s sunsweet prune is weii aaverxiseu ana twjeuiunaiijr marketed. Oregon's extra sweet prune is not aavertisea ai au and its marketing effort is without plan. Yet, as the ad goes on to show; the Oregon prune, is a food product of surpassing value. It is rich in vitamins A and B, contains nearly as much iron as spinach, has sugars which are readily assimilated, contains cellulose or "roughage which acts as a natural laxative, besides valuable minerals. The trouble with the Oregon prune all seems to go back to the failure of the big cooperative; shortly? after the war. Since then the growers have never ben able to get together. With few exceptions prices have been very low, giving the grower no fair profit to warrant him to continue in bus iness. ' j ' If prunes could be handled in some big pool where the seller had some bargaining voice apd where concentrated efforts could be put forth in standardizing pack and engag ing in up-to-date promotion, the indujstrr might be lifted out of the slough of despond. But even jthe effort to get $10 a ton for green prunes, which run to only a small percentage of the total crop, failed to get unanimous support. It may seem hopeless; but surely jsome way may be found to give the prune industry the push land the punch it needs to bring it into a real fighting position.

Turner, hi wife, the pio neers, while working hard and faithfully in the early days, and saving for the ultimate and pro verbial rainy day, built schools and founded churches and la oth er ways supported the instru ments of sober and orderly socie ty. After they had gone, their heirs carried on in the same way. They gave to the Christian church the Turner tabernacle, headquar ters for the camp meeting activ ities of that organization la Ore gon. S m After the passing of her two brothers, when she became sole heir, Mrs. Davis gave a large sum in order that Aumsville might have a tine high school building, now free from debt. She offered the same benefaction to the Tur ner school district, and she en dowed an institution for home less boys, erected a library and muaeum building, and built magnificent Christian church for that town and communtty. All the while, this good woman lived economically, in order that she might have the means for other benefactions.

D. aame time two years ago we recall "gaining". how fast Phil lletschan was FROM time to time I have out lined for yon the many causes of high blood pressure. To day I want to tell you something about "hypotension," or low blood pressure. Per haps too little attention has been given to this subject and possibly too much emphasis has been placed upon high blood pressure. Low blood pressure is more prevalent than is commonly be lieved. Since it has no immedi ate ill effects, it is often over looked. f ., .A cm 1 Dr. Copeland The blood Dreuure vari in dif ferent individuals, depending upon age, sex and environment. The ap proximate press are can be deter mined by adding a hundred to your age. A blood pressor of one hun dred or less is consideredlow. Low blood pressure is not a dis ease. It is regarded aa a sign ef some physical disorder and careful investigation should be md to find 'what it really is. Insurance com panies ao not reject applicants with low blood pressure, as they do if it is too high. Persons with low pressure are accented if there la no daman to the heart, blood Teasels, liver, kid neys or the general drcnlation. ' Low pressure may be temporary or permanent. It is f requently seen in tne temporary xorm alter severe shock, operation, accident, or hem orrhage. Low pressure may be found in certain acute flifmiea. especially typhoid fever. It is also met as a temporary condition in pneumonia, influenza, diphtheria and typhus fever. Persistent low blood nreaaor k encountered in tuberculosis. Some authorities believe that the deme of hypotension, low blood pressure. is ma muex ox ine seriousness ox una disease. It is regarded aa a good sign when the blood pressor which has been low, increases or reaches normal. j Disturbances of the adrenal glands produce low blood pressure, This is seen in "Addison's disease a disease of those glands. Low blood pressure may be caused by chronie inflammation of the tonsils, defects of the teeth, nasal sinus or gall bladder disease. Contrary to a common belief that constipation is frequent cause of high blood pressure, it is now be lieved to be more frequently en countered in eases ef low blood pressure. Hypotension does bo always imply ill health, la f act. the condi tion may be found in healthy In dividuals.

There were three visits, and at that time Mrs. Davis was la pos session of her unusually alert mental faculties, retained her charming manner like that of a young woman, ana seemed so strong physically as to promise msny more years of activity. S But she soon thereafter died. It was found that la her will she had, after the usual recitals, di rected that the residue of her con siderable estate, consisting in part of about 230 acres of land in tne Turner section, should go to the establishing and mainten ance of a home for the needy, to be conducted by some "orthodox" religious society. W S Since the recording of the will. a California cousin, claiming to be the only heir, has filed a suit seeking to set aside the will, on tne ground that it provided no trustee for the carrying out ef its chief provision. m fortunately, Oregon law, antic ipating Buch circumstances, di rects that the state Itself shall In terrene avhen and lf they arise, with the attorney general directed to institute and carry on the la terrenlng proceedings.

S The writer of these lines, on his first interview with Mrs. Davis, was told by her that she was anx ious to establish a home for the needy, and anxiously urged his help in carrying out her plans She brought up this matter atOe second interview, giving some ideas about the proposed instltu tlon. Again, on the third inter view, she talked of her plans, and again asked the writer's coopera tion. Her vision, as she then un folded and elaborated It, was that of a home on a part of her acre age near Turner. She was Insist ent upon this, and hoped that, with the help of some church or ganization, no charge might ever be made upon those seeking a refuge there.
