To Be Used Carefully.
The Christmas business of So.-
lem merchants will be good this
year. There will be a fairly large
rolume of sales which, however,
will include very little expensive
merchandise. In other words the
Tuletide shopper will be consent
tive next month and will not
throw his money away.
All of which is very satisfactory
to the local merchants. Today to
bacconists, sporting goods dealers,
jewelers, druggists, stationers,
clothiers and confectioners were
interviewed and none expressed
dissatisfaction with the outlook. -

EFUSE OF WOOD
PILES OBSTRUCT
SEWERS OF CITY
Walt S. Low, street commission
jr, is having his annual trouble
ith sewers, all due to the fact
that people who have had their
wood piled in the street, fail to re
move rubbish after the wood has
.jeen stored away.
"Many people have the idea that
it is the duty of the city to re
move sawdust and trash after
wood has been sawed and stored,"
Mr. Low said. "The fact is, It is
(.he duty of owners of the woodpili
io remove every bit of trash and
especially sawdust."
It . is especially sawdust that
causes expense to the city and ne
:essitates the digging up of sew
ers, he said. The sawdust along
with small sticks and bark left
from the wood pile is swept into
the sewers with the first rain and
then they are clogged, causing ex
tra expense to the city.

Battle at Seattle.
Of the several games being play

reasons -is the clash between Wil

Univarslty of Orejjon eleven faces
the University of Washington
Huskies and the hardest battle of
the year is expected by Coach Shy
Huntington. At Pasadena the Uni
versity of Southern California
meets Washington State college
and in all probability the south
erners will be victorious. In Port
land the Olympic club machine
is believed to be somewhat bet
ter than the Multnomah team.
Willamette and the College of
Puget Sound are evenly matched
in weight, both averaging around
162 pounds, and each team is in
good physical condition. A repeal
football contest Is in prospect for
those who witness the game here
today.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 80. Pre
game statements of the coaches on
both tides concede evenly matched
teams when the Universities of
Washington and Oregon meet here
this afternon in a Thanksgiving
day game. The Washington
eleven is a little heavier and the
Oregon one a little more ex
perienced. The contest will decide
the championship of the Pacific
Northwest conference, In which
each of the two teams is un
defeated.
Both coaches express a hope
for a "dry field, while the official
weather prodictlon is rain.
"We have a fifty fifty chance
to win," says Coach Enoch Bag
shaw ot Washington,
"My men are going to give all
they have to take the Pacific

Taking for his subject, "Th. Di
vine Visitation," Dr. C. E. Powell,
who delivered the union Thanks
giving services this morning, at
the First Christian church, de
clared that it is God who supplies
our daily wants, no less truly than
through hi Son, He supplied the
wants ot tbe hungry multitude in
th. wilderness In tbe days of His
flesh. . . ;
"It Is hot only in what we are
accustomed to call miracles that
God works alone," Dr. Powell said.
The whole course of nature Is one
miracle. In the golden corn, in
the ripened fruit, in the ever faith
ful recurrence ot the WeaSons. we
have wltneM ot the same power,
only differently applied, that mul
tiplied the loaves and fishes."
Leads to ForRetfulness.
Referring fo the many blessings
that had been bestowed upon the
people of this country, Dr. Powell
said: "Let us beware that the
very constancy of God's gifts does
not lead us to forgetfulness. It is
only by an effort of the will that
we pause to realize that every
hour has its blessings, and that
pledges ot the divine visitation
are all about us."
In conclusion Dr. Powell said:
"Let us this day offer unto Him
our sacrifice ot praise and thanks
giving. Our harvests have been
bountiful. Beyond any people on
earth we have reason to be thank
ful. No cry ot want is heard
throughout our land. God has
visited us in Innumerable ways.
He has given us 'bread enough
and to spare.' Shall we not al
ways remember that onto whom
much has been given, trom him
much will be requif'ed."
Dr. Powell is a member of the
board of home missions of the
Methodist Episcopal church and
has recently been assigned to take
charge of the social settlement
center ot th. Methodist church in
Portland. '

BURCH LIKELY

for Arthur C. Burch, who was
said to agree with his chief coun
sel, Paul Schenck, that the dli
agreement last night of the jury
In Burch's third trial for the
murder of J. Belton Kennedy was
the equivalent of an acquittal."
Burch laughed aloud when
Judge John W. Shenk poled the
jurors and each declared "there
was absolutely no chance" for an
agreement.
This came after more than 30
hours had passed since the case
had been given over to the jury
and lx ballots bad been taken.

Fruit Canning , Industry,
More Valuable Than
Salmon, Needs Protect
ion At Source, V
The great salmon pack of the
Columbia river, recognized as one
of the leading Industries of the
northwest, did not equal in value
this year the pack ot the five fruit
canneries in Salem. The canning
industry of Salem alone has as
sumed such tremendous propor
tions that the value this year of
the Salem pack as shipped by the
Salem canneries, has placed more
money In circulation than the
famous salmon pack of the Colum
bia, river, ,
According to authentic statis
tics, the salmon pack of the Co
lumbia river this year amounted
to 415,000 cases, with an average
value of $6.60 a case. This would
place the commercial value of the
.mlmon pack at $2,697,500.
Fish Industry Fostered.
The canned fruit pack of the
five plants in Salem alone this past
season amounted to 677,000 cases.
A conservative estimate places $4
as the average value ot a case.
Based 4ipon these figures, which
are also authentic, the commercial
value ot the Salem pack this sea-
on is $3,046,500.
