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

The hotels broke up the game
when they installed the umbrella

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.

A remarkable example of team

Ivan Stewart, field man for Chailes
It. Archerd company, who states that
Gordon and Verne Jones, both in

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

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

"These boys are working from M

stated Stewart, "doing all of of their

four brood sows and developing their

They plan to add another brood bow,

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.

th( nllpv throunh the block will be
developed Into a 30-foot street and

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

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.

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.
