(ff) The short skirt has created a new kind of flunkey here. He is the umbrella porter who stands In front of high priced ho tels ana restaurants and rushes for ward with an umbrella to shield women guests from the stare of the public. All the best hotels and smartest restaurants have added the umbrella porter to their tip list. He expects a franc for his offices. when skirts receded past the knees here visitors began to com plain to the hotel managements that they were being stared at when they alighted from their au tomobiles. It was "most annoying" they announced as well as "txtr- awnary" and "very rude." Most of them "couidn t imagine" but a few of the most modem said point blank that it was their knees which seem ed to be attracting attention. Hotel managers discovered that there was an established order of knee-gazers who devoted a large part of their time to the sport, which they described as the sole re maining free amusement in Monte Carlo. The hotels broke up the game when they installed the umbrella bearers who invariably are elderly men with stiff necks. Remarkable Results In Farming Being Shown On Scott Jones Gervais Farm OAC EXPERTS PLAN CREDIT CORPORATIONS Letters received bv local men from the O. A. C indicate that the cor ledc now is endeavorine to iniect in to the prune situation a movement 10 estaonsn growers credit corpora tions. Prefacing its letter by saving that an important Question arising in connection wnn tne proposal to sta- oiiize me prune situation is me problem of warehousing and financ ing, the suggestion is being made that this be looked into with a view to ascertaining whether the trrowers have proper warehousing and finan cing facilities and if not to further investigate the leasibility of estab lishing Growers' Credit corporations. The letter points out that under these corporations the growers could secure money at from 4' j to 5 per cent, as against per cent money. "Apparently the college is wan dering far afield from the functions lor which it was established. ' said a well known local man in comment ing upon the letter. Bankers as I un derstand it have no objection what ever to the growers securing 4 or 5 per cent money if they can secure it. In fact they would welcome it for them. But the difficulty lies in the fact that the credit growers' corporation would, generally speak ing, be made up of growers who can not secure money from banks, who have no money, and the corporation based on that class of security would not get very far. The banks arc anxious to see the growers financ ed and if they can get cheap money the banks would be happy. But it is much easier to talk about cheap money than to get it.

Archerd company, who states that Gordon and Verne Jones, both in meir us ana sons 01 acoit Jones, are accomplishing wonders in develop ing the place. In addition to the WO acre farm of their father, which they are operating and doing the work on themselves, they have leas ed go acres ol the Smith place ad Joining. They have about 240 acres in crop this year. This includes vjo acres 01 com, CO acres in fall wheat, 84 acres in clover to oc cut lor seed this year. (13 acres in addition have been seed ed to clover on grain land. Last year they took from 27 acres of clover enough in cash to buy a tractor, and arc working the land with tractor and team. They are exceedingly en thusiastic about building up the soil with clover, as the farm has been cropped with grain since 18U6, and they expect to have about one-thiri of the acreage in clover before they are through. They also are enthu siastic about alfalfa possibilities and where thc-y arc planting alfalfa have ii meet tne son with a ton ana a nan of lime to the acre, and top worked it iikc a garden to get tne weed crop thoroughly killed out. They also are KING'S PLANT Announcement has been made by Donncy & Co. through Roy Hurst that they will take over the Kings Food Products plant In Salem this season, with the exception of a small part oi tne space m tne plant, rue Ucnney company In a statement made today said they anticipate a heavier pack than they have had any previous season, providing the cherry crop Is even fair. A ueid agent win soon oe avail able. The Denney company will fur nish srowcrs with nackintr boxes which are all being reconditioned now. no announcement is made as to niiccs. but information from other cherry shipping districts is expect ed to bo available in a few days that will be ft factor in determining the price for cherries here. working a half acre check olot using at the rate of 250 pounds of acic" phosphate to the acre. "These boys are working from M to 10 hours a day on their larm," stated Stewart, "doing all of of their own work, milking 14 cows, handling four brood sows and developing their crops. They have seven registered cows and plan to replace at least iour pureored neners eacn year. They plan to add another brood bow, and they have a steady Income with cash returns from hogs, cows, wheat, oats and clover seed. This is the finest example of team work in farming on the part of brothers I have yet seen and this will be one of the model farms of the county as they work out their problems. The boys took over the farm when the father became incapacitated." COMPARISON PAVING BIDS (Continued from page one) checks, depsited along with their bids, by securing the signatures of majority or the counciimen to a release. This course is being follow ed to release the contractors from the necessity of paying interest on the checks, which aggregate over $50,000. THREE BIDDERS OUT Reservations contained in the bids of three of the contractors that they will not accept less than a minimum number oi yards nave aireaay elim inated them from consideration, ac cording to Townsend, and there is no reason why their deposit checks should not be reelased as soon as they have the releases signed by a majority of the council.

Plan Public Market On Southern Pacific Block Purchased By Wallace Installation of a public market here with up to 100 stalls built along the mast modern lines, is beiner seri ously considered by men of experi ence in that business, and the site proposed is on the Southern Pacific block recently purchased by Paul Wallace and his associates of the Valley Motor company. If the pres ent plans go through the market will use up virtually a quarter of the block at Marion and Commercial streets. Whpn Mr. Wallace was asked in regard to the proposal today he ad mitted that he had been approached by experienced and responsible par ties in regard to the proposal and that It was bcinor eiven serious con sideration and has a likely possibil ity of becoming developed. u tne present pians go uiruuyu th( nllpv throunh the block will be developed Into a 30-foot street and tne puDiic marK.cc sinus v.ui nave entrances on Commercial, Marion nnd the new street through the cen ter oi the block. The plan as outlined is to put in a complete market of every nature including groceries, meats, vegeta bles with adjuncts of soda foun tains, restaurants and every class of foodstuffs or similar articles sold in the big public markets. Those who are considering the p.-oposition have pointed out that one big advantage there in locating is fhe fact that Marion Square is situated directly across the corner from the proposed public market site. This, they say will not only give ample parking space for auto mobiles, four blocks around the park, but also will furnish playground lOl UlU iimuruu vtucu men iuuiiiuio go marketing. One objection which has been raised before to sites for public markets in the main business centers has been the congestion caused by automobiles and the dif ficulty of securing parking space. It is figured if the improvement as planned goes through that not less than $25,000 will be expended in the erection of the stalls.

For a few mln utes nil went well. Then the line tan ft led on a sharp. Jagged rock and at the next heave was severed as if by a knife.

At 7:15 p. m. came a messaie say ing that the first rescues had been elfected, nnd through the night other reports that the work con tinued, despite occasional difficul ties in operating the breeches buoy over 1500 feet of line with rough water below. Radio dispatches from the wreck scene announced that the Indiana Harbor would be abandoned except for what partial salvage the own ers, Fillsbury and Curtis, can effect. STEAM POWER Designed to offset In a degree the heavy increase in taxes during the past year, an increase which has approximated 25 pe rcent, the Port' land Electric Power company has discontinued use of the supplemen tary steam power plant in Salem for the summer at least, according to an announcement this morning by W. M. Hamilton, local manager for the company. With two heavy transmission lilies carrying power Into the city, and the danger of interruption to both of these lines small during the summer the company feels that use of the steam plant can be sately dis continued without endangering ser vice, Mr. Hamilton said. Heretofore the steam plant has been operated as nn auxiliary to the two transmission lines, and has run about lfi hours each day to help carry the peak load. It will be maintained for emergency uses with steam up at all times. NORTHWESTtO BE CENTER OF CULTURE New York, Ma v 21 . iP) World prosperity and culture is destined to center in the Pacific northwest with in 50 years, according to a survey of the "scientific probabilities" made by Dr. J. Russell Smith, professor of ecoonmic geography at Colum bia university. Dr. Smith who Is called the great est International authority on his subject, has presented his conclu sions In the American magazine, published today. He expects an area extending 400 miles along the coast of Oregon and Washington to outstrip New York. Climate, water power and agricul tural resources are three of the fac tors which point sclent if icaly, he says, to the future ascendancy of the Pacific northwest. New York.

FRENCH AVIATORS ' HOPING FOR BEST Paris, May 21 (P) Captain Lind bergh has the enthusiastic best wishes of three of France's greatest aviators, but from a technical point of view they are more or less pessi mistic. "It's a magnificent attempt," said Sadt LeCointe today, "but ft trans Atlantic flight is a terrible thing. Nungcsser's experience prohibits any forecast." Captain Pelletier Doisy declared his prayers are with the audacious flyer, but he thought if Lindbergh arrived, it would be a "fantastic thing." Eugene Henaux, winner of the Michelin prize in 1911, remarked, j "from what I have seen in the press i concerning the machine and thp conditions, there is no chance gaining the European coast."
