light calves is 12 to VlVt cents.
Very few sale are made even at

veal to bring the top. Yesterday
afternoon f;ood calves sold at 11 to
11 cents nnd then they had to be
wLshcd on .c butcher trade. ThiH
morning butchers were apparently
not Interested.
Weather during tho past few
days has been favorable for ship
ping and country meats are arriv

Portland, Juno 10 The largest
sale of wool made In the northwest
his season was closed yesterday
when 11. Stanley Coffin of Yakima
sold 2,500,000 pounds or coarse
wool to be shipped to Boston. The
price was nround 35 cents. The
wool Is In storage nt the Western
Wool Warehouse. Mr. Coffin still
has unsold about 200,000 pounds
ol Tine wool.
No husinesH has been reported In
the Interior recently. Dealers
have out out bids of from 32
35 cents, but no determined effort
bus been matte to buy, ns the ma
Jorlty of growem were holding out
for a higher price. With tho cur
rent market established at the 35
ent level, n shown by tho Coffin
deal, It Is thought likely there will
ho morn of a disposition now on
the pnrt of buyers and sellers to
get together.
Of the market condition at Ttos
on yesterday 'he government dally

LARGE SIZES IN
FRUIT IM PUT
CROP TOTALS UP
Portland, June 1 0 Abundance
of soil moisture, and the light set
of fruit, which Indicate that sizes
will range unusually large may pro
duce a fruit crop for Oregon larg
er than present estimates, snya F.
L. Kent, statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture in report on a
survey of the etate during the last
ten daya of May.
These conditions, he points out.
may overcome to a large extent
the handicaps of the unusually dry
season last year, the light bloom
this spring, nnd the fact that cold
rainy weather at pollination time
Interfered with normal setting of
the fruit.
There was some loss of trees
from winter cold, he says. There
was also considerable winter dam-!
age to loganberries, raspberries j
and blackberries.
Last year's weather conditions
affected pears unfavorably, and
the spring weather was had at pol
linatlon time. The Rogue river
district had an early prospect for
3000 car crop, but Indications
now are for about 1500 cars. Pros
pects aro very good in the Hood
River district, with indications of
more than 50 per cent increase
over last year.
Many of the older prune trees,
particularly those which have not
had good care in the past, suffer
ed from the winter. Some trees
were killed outright, but a much
larger number show from few to
many dead limbs Interspersed
with tho live ones. Cold rains fol
lowing blooming are held partly
responsible for the light set of
fruit, which In some localities.
promises to be not more than 10
per cent of a normal crop. The
crop for tho etate as a whole will
probably not exceed 35 per cent
of a normal crop, which at this
time should be around 80,000,000
pounds of dried fruit or its fresh
equivalent.
DARROW AND COLBY

(Continued from page one)
Actual work of construction of
the new Salem Y. M. C. A. build
ing began today. Ten tons of iron
to be used In reinforcing the con
crete arrived last night. The re
mainder is expected within a few
days. The last shovelful of dirt
was removed from the excavation
yesterday. A tool shed has al
ready been built on the parking
strip south of the site of the build
n&
The building Itself Is expected
bo completed by December 15,
925. Tho total cost Is estimated at
156,306.50. Of this amount $120,
000 will go Into .construction of the
building, $20,000 will be paid for
ho furniture, $1 5,000 has been
paid for the lot, located on Court
t root opposite tho pontoff ice.
1234 will be paid for the work of
xcavation nnd $672.50 will be paid
for digging the sewer.
The building will be of rein
forced concrete, with an exterior
C stucco. Tho construction con
act was nwardod to Wechter and
lughen of Salem, tlio wiring con
tract to tho Salem Electric com
pany, nnd tho plumbing contract to
Hturgis and Sturgls of Portland.
Thero will be four floors, includ
ing tho basemrttt. There will be
deep tiled swimming pool In the
basement, which local Y. M. C. A.
authorities declare will be second
none on the Pacific coast. It
ill measure 60 by 20 feet. The
building will contain two complete
gymnasiums, 39 dormitory rooms.
open hand ball courts, two en
closed hand ball courts four club
rooms, various lobbies and other
equipment. There will be two sep-
rate entrances to the place, one
for boys and one for men.
cushions oi the bible and evolu
tion were touched upon by Secre
tary Wilbur of the navy depart
ment in a prepared commencement
address today at Duke university,
on the subject "Conimon Sense."
Quoting as his text, "If any man
lack wisdom let him ask of God
who giveth abundantly and up
braideth not, and it shall be given
him. "
Commop Sense Need
Appealing for application of
common sense to many of the
problems of life Mr. Wilbur said:
"We need common Bense in re
ligion.' "If the bible is the inspired
word of God, as we believe, "he
added, "then he created the uni
verse and left the record of that
creation lor ever inscribed upon
an created things. There are at
least two divine hooks, the Holy
Bible, on whose pages are in
scribed the doings and sayings of
holy men and the book of nature.
A part of this historical story is
piamiy written upon the geolog
ical strata which circumscribe the
globe. Common sense suggests
that these two records be con
sidered together and to reject and
utterly Ignore either is equally
foolish.
"Science today, whatever else it
may have accomplished, has
demonstrated that the universe is
constructed on a plan and have
been created according to laws
which still operate daily. These
results not only suggest, hut they
demand a Planner and a Creator
and a law giver. Reason cannot go
so far as to discover these laws
and plans and created things
without going a step further to
the creator, discerning some of his
attributes by the things he has
done.
Faith Held Need
('I waB asked the other day if
I believed In a future life, and
what proof there was of such life.
I replied that it took faith to ap
prehend and believe -In a future
life. But there are ample proofs
of a future life if we care to
weigh them and the fundamental
one around which all others cen
ter is the resurrection of Jesus
Christ. If Christ rose from the I
dead It proves tfiat there Is a
future life. What evidence is
there of his resurrection? This
desk behind which I stand, this
building in which I speak, this
institution In which you are
trained and every Christian church
in existence and every christian
institution and every christian in
the universe now and since the
day of the resurrection is evidence
of the resurrection. It was this
incident which transformed the
eleven dissiples from fleeing
cowards appalled and dismayed at
the crucifixion into inspired
prophets who assailed the world
single handed and sought In a gen
eration to convert all men to
Christianity and to a belief In the
resurrection. It was faith in this
resurrection that enabled men
who had fled from mere rebuke or
censure to calmly face a niurtyr's
death.
"To believe In such a trans
formation of the dead plea without
an adequate cause- requires great
er credulity than to believe in tho
resurrection and when they them
selves asserted the resurrection ot
Jesus as the source of their inspir
ation they furnished the explana
tion of thlr conduct and gave
evidence of tho truth of their
assertion'
WA
Renting a Home?
First of all, look to its Electrical Convenience
One thing affecting the comfort of any home ,
you rent is the completeness of the electrical a
installation. Nowadays, no house is a home
without convenient connections for electrical
appliances, without correct lighting and with
out standard wiring devices.
In renting a house make sure of its electrical in
stallation by asking if the wiring was done by a
"Check" Seal contractor. The "Check" Seal iden
tifies qualified electrical contractors who employ
good workmanship and install standard wiring de
vices. Also when you need electrical appliances re
v member that the "Check" Seal identifies electrical
retailers who sell quality electrical merchandise.
