The planning mill will be the
only unit of the big plant to
start operations now. Th com
pany has about! 20.000.000 feet
of lumber milled, and until that
stock Is worked down there will
be no need of resuming logging
or sawing.
About 36 men hare been em
ployed in getting the plant in
readiness for the run. Some ad
ditional men will be added to
complete the operating crew. Old
employes are being taken on for
employment.
operations at Valsetx will
mean increase in the freight traf

road to handle the outgoing
lumber. This in turn will step
up work in the Salem railroad
yards, since the lumber after be

Pacific at Independence Is
brought to Salem and the trains
-broken up for routing north and

valsets are normal it takes a
switch engine here to handle the
local work.

shutdown of the mills two years

TUB silence In downtown Salem
Jnlr Fourth was Af the pro
found variety. The few erackers
exploded served only to increase
i its profundity. Most of the
folks were gone some to the sea-
shore, some to the mountlans.
some elsewhere. We who remain-
ed loafed our souls and medltat-
ed Idly on the glories of modern
civilization.
Jul Fourth, in common with
rther holidays, is a day of memor-
'
ies. Everybody has memories. Mr,
Bryant, whom even the English
admitted to be a great poet, has
addressed himself to the past is
these words:
In thy abysses hide beauty
and excellence unknown; to thee
earth's wonder and her pride are
gathered, as the waters to the
sea; labors of good to man, un
published charity, unbroken faith,
love that 'midst grief began and
faltered not in death. Full many
a mighty name lurks in thy
depths, u nattered, unrevived;
with thee are silent fame, forgot
ten arts and wisdom disappear
ed." Considering the past thus, it is
little wonder that we remember.
is it? However, memories are, for
the most part, of interest only to
him who remembers.
I once knew in another part of
the national domain a man who
was buried on a July Fourth. He
was, this man, a big banker and
mighty political boss in a small
community, and he was looked
upon by the mothers of boys as a
deplorably bad influence. This
was due in part to the fact that
he was extremely liberal In his re-
ligious views. He did not scoff
at the church, but he ignored it. I
And when he came to his final
sickness he specified that the
church should have no part in his
funeral. He had no family.
The man's nearest friend was a
lawyer a lawyer who' ultimately
outgrew the community and
came famous in a great city. The
lawyer did not agree with the
banker In everything, but their
souls merged in the poetry of Mr.
Bryant.
It follows naturally, I think.
that when two individuals agree
perfectly in their taste for poetry
they will be congenial In most
other matters.
At any rate, this banker and
this lawyer were close friends, de-
spite the disparity in their ages.
The banker was much older than
the lawyer, and as the years went
on their relationship became like
unto that of father and son, or
like that relationship which
should exist between father and
son. but rarely does.
The banker died on the third
day of i hot July. Only the 'doc
tor and the lawyer were with him
at the end. His final words were
a whispered Jumble from Thana
topsis something to do with
wrapping the drapery of his couch
about him and lying down to
pleasant dreams.
Funeral arrangements were
made by the lawyer in accordance
with instructions given him by the
deceased. "Why not?" asked the
lawyer; "it's his funeral, isn't It?"

better be quick about it. This
was because of the weather and
the inadequacy of the undertak
er s equipment.
The Tillage was having what it
termed a grand celebration that
Fourth of July. Among the other
features of the demonstration was
a comie parade, led by the band.
And it transpired that as the corn-
io parade came around the corner I
of the public square into the main
street the hearse bearing the re
mains of the banker, followed by
three carriages filled with his
friends, entered the street on its
way to the cemetery.
The crowd gasped audibly. The
narade stoDoed. At the corner
where the route turned to the
be-(cemetery how it came about no-
body seemed to know, then or
thereafter the band at the head
of the parade fell in behind the
cortege and the comics followed.
and behind them trailed almost
the entire crowd of celebraters.
Perhaps there has never been
another funeral quite like that
one. " At the graveside the lawyer
whispered to the band leader, and
the leader nodded somewhat du
biously, and presently, after a
number of false starts, the hand
played "Nearer My God to Thee"
as well as it could without muscl.
It was pretty terrible. Some of
the musicians were unable to re
call the tune at all, but they did

JL rhalf-hour later the celebra
tion was again la full swing. The
Tillage newspaper of that week
devoted s full column to the pass
ing of "our most distinguished
cltijen," concluding with the
statement that the funeral was
the most largely attended in the
history of the community. Which
was the truth.
X often wondered as to the
m "
whyfor of the banker's prejudice
against the church. X am still
wondering. Every person has
points of strength and points of
weakness. Even you and I. And
which is strength and which is
weakness we cannot always deter-
mine in me present.
I find not much in a funeral to
inspire mirth. Yet I always smile
when I think of the Fourth of
July celebration which followed
the banker to his grave. Some
how X feel that he would wish his
friends to laugh at the spectacle;
it was so unique- so tree from
convention, and, withal, it was a
tribute to the man, despite every-
ming.

"There Is no question but that
industrial conditions in Oreeon
have Improved materially during
the past six months." Albert
Hunter, chairman of the commis
sion, said. "A large number of
mills have resumed operations
and many of the logging camps
are working at least part time
These activities are reflected in
the receipts under the workmens

that time virtually all of the lar
ger mills in the state were closed
while the smaller plants were op
erating only half time. Hunter
said that while wages had not
been Increased materially, this ac
tion on the part of employers
would follow.
"Our information indicates that
market conditions have Improved
steadily since last February, and
that many of the mills have re
ceived substantial orders," Hunter
continued. "In most cases, these
orders were received from the
eastern states where there has
own a marxea revival in building
operations. Exports also have had
a tendency to speed no milllnsr
acuvixies."
Hunter declared the fruit and
berry Industry also had absorbed
considerable labor, while other
seasonal activities had been felt
in the business revival. He pre
dicted that contributions to the
workmens' compensation fund
during the last six months of 1933
would exceed those for the cor
responding period in 1932 by
more than 10 per cent.

Speaking of rooting things.
you'll find that cuttings taken
from shrubs in July will root
quite readily and will have made
considerable growth by next sea
son. This is an Interesting and ec
onomical means of Increasing
your shrub supply. While this is
not recommended , for the gard
ener who has no patience and who
desires a ready - made garden, it
is not nearly so slow a process as
often supposed. I have grown spi
raea bushes which bloomed, the
first year after the cuttings were
made and were over two feet high
the second year. Welgelia cuttings
have done as well and forzythia
makes a startling growth as do al

der this plan, employers whose
accidents decrease will receive a
substantial refund, while employ
ers' whose accidents increase will
be penalized."
Hunter declared that this sys

number of states and had oper

At least new things to some of

the bush each month will do much
to prevent mildew and keep away
