months, and is now approximate

For this huge crop the grow-

approximately $464,000.
Profit Held Assured
Such were the carefully calcu
lated figures given out this morn
ing by a prominent loganberry
grower who is held to be one of
the county's most reliable berry
experts.
While, on the face of things,
the slump in price paid to grow
ers is dismaying an average of
about 12 cents pur pound was paid
last season authorities say that
the grower will he able to realize
a satisfactory profit on this sea
ton's crop.
This year, it is estimated, the
loganberries will average two and
one half tons to the acre. Ninety
dollars is the average cost per acre
lor preparing a crop. Figuring
but two tons to the acre the re
turn, at 80 per ton, would be
J160 per acre, or a profit of $70.
This would be a return of 10 per
cent if the grower value his laud
at $700 an acre.
Some Vines Damaged
Some damage has been done to
the vines of last year, according
inspector. Chief loss was felt in
the low lands w here many of the
canes were killed half way back
Irom the tip to the trown, and
were laid on the ground in water.
Although there are but 2400
acres at present bearing in the
county, there are 3446 acres on
which loganberries have been
Planted, authorities estimate. This
means that next year there will
he another thousand acres bear
ing Iruit, unless the growers de
cide to quit raising loganberries.
"I don't think any of the grow
will plow out their loga-nber-nes,"
one fruit expert said this

Council Is
Against 8
Cent Fare
Protest To Be Filed
With Commission;
Company May Tear
Up Summer Track
The Salem Street Car company
both lost and won at a meeting of
the city counoil held last night
lost when It failed to get recon
sideration of the council's decis
ion to file a protest against the
three cent rise in car fares, and
won when an ordinance, submit
ted by Alderman Wenderoth and
calculated to forestall the com
pany's move to tear up its North
Summer street track, was voted
down by the council.
At the suggestion or Alderman
Giesy, the council voted to in
struct the city attorney to file a
formal protest with the public
Lservice commission against the
proposed eight cent car faro for
Salern. Later Mr. Giesy explained
to I. N. Day, of the car company,
that his motion was not necessar
ily put because he himself object
ed to the rise, but because hu felt
he was following out the wiBhes
of the people.
Hearing to Be Attended
City Attorney Smith was also
Instructed by the council to at
tend the rehearing of the phone
rate case to be held on July 18.
The council decided that the city
of Salem might act more effective
ly by itself, and declined an invi
tation to join other counties of
the state in presenting the city's
case before the public service
commission.
Declaring that the street car
company suffers a heavy loss on
its North Summer street line, Mr.
Day made a brief, pointed talk to
the aldermen. The company, it
appears, wishes to remove Tour
blocks of its track on North Sum
mer street prior to the time that
the city starts its paving activi
ties there. Mr. Day said the com
pany realizes but about 76 cents
a day from its patrons in that vi
cinity, while its expenses are
many times that amount.
Bids to be Called For
Residents of North Capitol
street who have sought to have
their street paved for some rime
were encouraged by actron of the
council last night. After Council
man. Thompson had made inquiries-
of the street committee, that
body gave a favorable verbal re
port which was adopted by the
council and the city attorney was
instructed to draw resolutions
calling for bids.
The city's purchasing agent was
instructed to buy 50 barrets of
asphalt which will be used In re
pairing the city streets.
Several petitions, requesting
that streets be graded and sewers
installed, were referred to the
street committee and . the sewer
committee. Three sidewalk resolu
tions were adopted, and several
others, which were introduced,
were referred to the street com
mittee. Mayor Gets Riled
Fire Chief Hutton was last
night instructed to install a hyd
rant at the corner of 25th and
Bellevue streets.
Certain members of the council
were reprimanded by Mayor Hal
vorsen, who felt that too much
talking was being done on the side
lines, "if we re going to have a
meeting, let's have it," he r.a!d,
"if not, let's quit."

Congress
To Provide
For Relief
Million Dollar Appro
priation For Flood
Sufferers Expected
In Day or Two
Washington, June 7. One mll
lion dollars would be made im
mediately available for relief work
in the flood district of Colorado
under resolutions introduced sim
ultaneously in the house and sen
ate by Senator Phipps and Repre
sentative Hardy, both of Colorado.
Decision to seek a million dol
lars for relief work was reached by
the Colorado delegation in cong
ress after conferences with Presi
dent Harding and Secretary
Weeks. The proposed appropria
tion would be used solely In the
relief of distress and would not be
applicable to the restoration of
property.
Senators Phipps and Nicholson
and Representatives Hardy and
Vailc were present at the confer
ence at the White House and war
department. The members of the
delegation said that both President
Harding and Secretary Weeks
were emphatically of the opinion
thut something should be done by
the federal government to relieve
distress and suffering in the Pu
eblo district.
Tho resolution will be treated
as emergency legislation, Senator
Phipps said, adding that it was
expected that the million dollar re
lief fund would be available with
in a couple of days.
The American Red Cross an
nounced today that contributions
received In answer to President
Harding's appeal In behalf of the
Colorado flood sufferers would be
forwarded promptly to the strick
en areas.
Chapters nearest the scene of
the disaster have been given op
tion of sending contributions di
rectly to James L. Fleser, director
of Red Cross operations in Colorado.
Receding Waters Allow Relief Workers to
Enter Wrecked Districts; Train Service Re
sumed Out of Pueblo This Afternoon
Pueblo, Colo., June 7. A committee of real estate men
today estimated the property damage in Pueblo from the
flood at between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. This damage
is an apprisal of the buildings and contents.
Pueblo, Colo., June 7. Flood damage to three principal
railroads entering Pueblo will aggregate $4,500,000 accord
ing to an estimate made today by H. A. Tice, division sup
erintendent of the Atchison, Topeka a Santa Fe railroad.
Mr. Tice estimates the damage to his road in Pueblo and
vicinity at $2,000,000 ; that of the Missouri Pacific at $1,000,
000 and that of the Denver & Rio Grande at $1,500,000.
Pueblo, Colo., June 7. Known dead from Friday's flood in
Pueblo today totalled fifty-five, three bodies being taken to
the Fountain school, according to reports of Red Cross of
ficials. Forty-two bodies were at the morgues and ten had
been recovered o nthe St. Charles mesa.
No burials will be held for sev- back to Colorado Spring for a
food sugply.
The military order requiring
all able bodied men to report for
work brought out a large force
of men and they are being put o
work in various capacities.
Dead Estimated at 500
Red Cross officials at a meet
ing last night estimated that the
death list will mount to 500 when
a complete count is possible.
The outstanding reature of the
Pueblo flood disaster is the utter
absence of discouraged grief. A
man who witnessed the great
flood at Galveston contrasted the
situation here with that in the
Texas city where crowds of ref
ugees sat about in groups, weeping.
