'ng0,d ,mPrt8 was due to offer- bm, here for Japanese That sugar will retail for from (5 to it cents on the Salem market when present stocks have been exhausted, and dealers are forced to buy from the' newallottment made by the refiners, is the opinion of Theodore Roth, of the Gile Mercantile company, of this city. Mr. Roth stated that the only way for people to lower the price of sugar Isto quit using it, and he laid consid erable stress upon the importance nf such a practice. . Sugar advanced yesterday to the Job bers from $lg to $20.59. The new prices will not be in effect, said Mr. Roth, in Salem 'for some little time and the local merchants -will not be obliged to buy high priced sugar for three, or four weeks, except possibly some of the smaller stores that have not been able to buy before the price went up. Those who niust buy since the advance will have to charge more than the average market price or else lose money on the investment. Says "Trust", to Blame. i Mr. Roth expressed extreme disgust over the action of the sugar trust and said he would be willing to act as one 1 who refuses to buy until the price Is forced down by making a surplus. The best way to break the backbone of the trust, said Mr. Roth, is for people to refuse to buy sugar and absolutely quit consuming it i The people of the Pa cific northwest could cut down the price materially within ten days if .they would undertake such a method as is outlined by the local dealer. In the opinion of Mr. Roth the pres ent price . means ruin to this country. It is prohibitive and manufacturers and packers are not going to put up much ofanything In the way of fruits at the present price of sugar. Local packers have agreed, it is said, not to put up any more than they have or. ders for. - If wearing overalls will manifest a desire to fight the fiigh cost of living, so will a boycott on the sugar trust, and it is just as reasonable an under taking, he says. Mr. Roth recommends . the use of rlceand beans as a substitute for pota toes as beans sell tor less money today than they have for five years. SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1920 Johnson is EasyWinner In Montana Fine Weather Promises Successful Blossom Day Tomorrow; Autos are Listed; Plane To Drop Blossoms With the sun smiling radiantly down ' upon the orchard-covered hills gur- Drfffr CrnVOl Mnn rounding Salem, and the weather man predicting fair weather for Sunday, ev ery indication today pointed to a suc cessful Blossom day celebration here tomorrow Blossoms, that have been slow to come forth during the inclem ent weather, were bursting forth in all their glory today; and although the trees will not be so full of bloom as they would be had several days of fair Weather preceded Blossom day, It was thought today that enough blossoms would be out Sunday to prove very at tractive to the visitors who are ex pected.

Beautiful Salem Lecture Attended , - ; . . by Capacity Crowd The lecture on "A more Beautiful Salem," by Howard Evarts Weed, landscape architect of Portland, at the library last night was listened to by an audience that tilled the audl- torium of the biulding. The talk was generally conceded .'to-b one of the .best of Its kind ever. delivered in the city, Mr. Weed' and the Salem Arts league which brought him here, re celving much praise for the effort put forth to aid in beautifying the capital city. . Mr. Weed covered the general prin ciples of many subjects railway planting, formal and Informal gar dens, parks, children's puaygrounds, modern park cemeteries, driveways, streets, billboards, beautifying the grounds surrounding manufacturing plants and factories, and last but of greatest Interest to Salem rolk, call ed attention to our good and bad points in exterior decorating. Grouping Plan Pleases He was pleased with the grouping of the public buildings here, but la mented the arrangement of the wind ing walks leading to some of them. A slightly curved walk, ne stated, ts a thing of beauty, but one that writhes. snake like, upon the ground Is any thing but beautiful. The shade trees of the city, for the most part, he con sidered out of harmony. A survey should be made, and certain streets be given up to certain trees. The Nor way maple, he said, was adaptable for this purpose generally, but th English walnut should never be used as It developed to too great size. He He showed pictures of homes, tree bordered In East Orange, N. J., the first city in the U. 8. to employ a municipal forester,, to plant and care for the trees. He decried the incongruous bill board, stating that advertising should be confined to the dally newspaper and magazines Instead of frenziedly flung In the faces of pedestrian and .motorist. He did not know whether or not the system of planting roses along the parking was Instituted In Salem or Portland; at any rate the plan was deplorable. Roses do not lend them selves to this purpose successfully, the foliage Is too far spaced, and the ugly branches and body showing too plainly. Roses should be cultivated very much as a vegetable garden for their product. If one must haVe something along the parkings, one should plant small shrubs, the Japa nese barberry being suggested. Says Houses Misplaced i He pointed out the mistake made by most home builders, of placing their house in the very center of their lot. This gave no room for landscape, where, wiyi the house set to one side,' a sense of breadth and space could be obtained, providing the plotting of the ground was consistently done. He urged folk to get away from the un sightly arrangement of star and cres cent flower beds scattered over the lawn, and of the planting of trees In prim rows. Small shrubs should be set about the base of the house, form lng a connecting link with the lawn, which should Be kept free from shrub bery and flower beds until it reached Its extremity. Tall shrubs around the boundary of a yard, and at their base perennials of many descriptions were effective, the taller ones at the back, lower ones graduating to the fore. Oftentimes a bit of shrubbery con cealing a portion of the rear yard was good, and gave a greater depth to the vista. Mr. Weed emphasized the gallardia as a most satisfactory perennial, also the peony. Iris, of which there are a thousand varieties, phlox, gladioli, Jones And Davey ; To bpeak Before Republican Women The services of two former speak ers of the state house of representa tives haw been obtained by the offi cers of the Marion County Women's Republican club, for the regular club meeting Monday. Seymour Jones and Frank Davey, both recognised as able orators and Influential ' politicians, have been chosen as the speakers of the day. They will choose as their subjects of' discourse the amendment which are to be voted upon in the coming elections. The meeting will be held at 2:30 Monday afternoon, in one of the downstairs rooms of the armory. All women voters In the county are urg ed to attend, and a special Invitation is extended to men to be present at the assembly. ' Strong Brelak Appears In Ranks of Chicago Strikers With Return of 350 Men Chicago, Apr. 24. A "decided break in the ranks of the striking switchmen" was reported today by the Western General Manager's Association, representing twenty-seven roads in the Chicago district. ' . . . . Three hundred and fifty men returned to woork this morn ing, bringing the total number who have returned since the strike began to 1,036, the managers statement says. Movement of live stock, meat and. coal continues normal, the rialroad executives added. Walnut Orchard Damage Is Heavy Says Van Trump Fruit Inspector & H. Van Trump, who has made a careful Investigation of many of the walnut groves In Mar ion county since the cold weather of last winter which had a damaging ef fect upon the trees, claims thta practi cally alt trees In the low lands were killed, and that there will be compara tively few nuts grown in the valley this year seems very evident. In the hills they have been damaged, but some few growers will have a light harvest In the Chas. Heins yard near Scotts Mills Mr. Van Trump finds conditions more favorable for a yield than in any other part of the county. In different parts of Scotts Mills and the Rosedale sectoins trees have been only slightly damaged, and will bear lightly. Mr. Van Trump claims to be among the heaviest loosers In walnut trees. In his own yard at North Howell ho finds that practically every tree has been killed. His orchard was grafted from California black nuts, and at the pro per time he will regraft to these stumps and la In hopes of producing a new grove. Roots of the trees are vig orous, he says, and will produce fruit if properly grafted. Mr Van Trr.inp said that twenty per cent of the loganberries in the county were on wires whon the cold came on, ana inese were frozen, it is a safe es timate, said the Inspector, that the county will not harvest more than ten or twenty per -cent of a crop this sea son from the frozen, vines. Vines which .were not trained and were left under the snow, are in fairly good condition at the present time and will bear prob ably as much as usual. Injured fruit trees, said Mr. Van Trump, .are not all on the low lands. "Many trees in the hill lands were also Damaged and he is of the opinion that the trees in general throughout the county will have a doubtful futyre. But this cannot be determined exactly until later In the season. . The prune crop bids fair to bring a big price this year The pool sold at Dallas last week for 15 cents Is said to be the highest price prunes were ever known to sell for on contract In Ore gon, Mr. Van Trump believes that too high prices for fruit will be detrimental to the rowers. Forty-two strikebreakers, arrested last week tor conspiracy to violate the Lever act were arraigned before a United States commissioner (his morn ing and their cases continued unBl May S. John Qrunau and , Harold Reading, presidents of the two "out law" unions were - among those ar raigned. , STRIKERS WARN AGAINST FURTHER SETTLEMENT DELAY " Washington, Apr. 24. Warning against further delay In settling the wage demands of the two million rail road workers of the country, Timothy Shea, vice-president of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen, told the railroad labor board today that the men "were fed .up' on promises, and dead, 'dog-tired of delays." Mr, Shea preesnted the demands of the firemen and hostlers for a basic living wage of $6.50 a day, with differ entials for Bklll, responsibility, experi ence and the Increase in the cost ot living since the demands were first presented last June. When he had urged th striking rail road men In the east to return to work Shea-said their almost universal just! ficatlon for striking was that they and their families were starving at work and they "might Just as well starve not working." Mr. Shea said the railroad workers had been patient and they had been patriotic. Patience "Exhausted.' . "We were patriotic," he said, "while the thousands and tens of thousands ot millionaires were being created. We have been patient while the profiteers have paused In their orgy of spending ill-gotten gains only long enough to skyrocket prices still higher and make a mockery of our government's prom lse that living costs would be reduced. "Gentlemen, the time has come when our people say they will no long. er be patriotic only to be plundered, nor patient, only to- be pauperized. They have learned by bitter experience that their landlords are not 'patriotic' and their grocers are not 'patient' They are fed up on promises and they are dead, dog-tired of delays." Congress Is to be petitioned to pass a resolution asking President Wilson to direct the railroad labor board to hear the complaints of the non-rec ognized railroad workers, R. J. Mitch ell of the Chicago Englnemen't asso ciation announoed today. The White House recently refused to Intervene to have the board hear the strikers complaints. (Continued on Page Four.)
