A. Talbot, tecretnry of the new cor
poration, which will erect $75,000
plant immediately on Trade and
; Church utrct'tH with frontage on both
the -'Southern I'ucific and Oregon
Electric trucks . The contract for
tho Ice machinery had already been
let.
Principal among tho activities of
the new company will bo the en
tablitthmetit of cold utoruge facilities
to handle the perishable orchard,
farm and dairy product of the ter
ritory tributary to Salem, including
practically all of tho central Willam
ette Valley. Storage will be provided
for 1'iiKl ton of ice in tho first unit
;of the plant, which in to be built in
KUch u manner n to make possible th
'easy construction of addition oh
ihti demand upon the plant warrant.
" The first unit will cover a ground
xpaee 80 to ll!7 feet, or half of the
plot which the company hua ttcrured,
and will extend through the block
from Trade to Mill street immedi
ately In-hind the Salem Fruit Union
warehouse. Here will be provided
Individual refrigerating rooms for
"ihn 'various canneries and produce
packing plants of the city, injuring
tho consumption of the entire rrrvp
'of periidialdo fruit mul berries with
out loss. I're-rooling rooms will be
available to all shippers of fresh
: -products, und under arrangements
already made with both the Oregon
Khctiie and .Southern I'ucific rail-
ways and the express coinpanies hand
ling fruit shipments, refrigerator
urarH will be bed here.
5 Completely equipped with all of
: modern ice making and refrigerating
machinery, the company will not
only produce ice for it own use, but
will cater to the ict- trade throughout
hi part of the state. Truck deliv
eries to .Salem homes and busineas
'houses will lie eataliliahd and ar
rangements made to supply the re
'tail trade in Independence, Woodburn
''Dallas, Aurora, Hubbard, Gervia,
Silverton, Mt. Angi l, Turner, Stayton.

in the central valk-y .
Absolutely pure ice is to be the
trade slogan .
The homo of the new plant will he
of hollow tile construction nnd per
fect refrigeration of the cooling rooms
will be insured by the installation of
tho latest type of cork insulation. The
facilities will be complete for hand
ling butter, eggs, meat vegetables,
berries, fruits and other produce.
Operation of the plant is to be
under the direct ftupervision of Mr.
Talbot, who lias been in charge ol
the refrigerating plant of the Phez
company.
Lack of proper refrigerating fac
ilities have operated in the past to
curtail to some extent the operations
of, the local, canneries and packing
plants, and have retarded the growth
of. the fruit and berry industries by
limiting the local demand for these
products . While losses, both to the
growers nnd rnmiers from spoilage
have never been large, the absence
of cold storage facilities has always
aet"d as a delerent influence to nny
great expansion in tho fruit and
berry acreage.
Cannery men and prominent grow
ers here agreed today that the es
tablishment of a cold storage plant
here would enable the ennners and
packers to extend their operations
extensively and would, in a large way;
remove one of tho principal obstacles
in the way of enlarged production in
the central valley. Capital Journal

CLAY PIPES USED BY ROMANS
Dlacovery Raltee Interesting Quea
tion as to What th Rulers of
the World 8moked.
About thirty year ago potsherd of
pipe bowl as thick a a man' thumb
were found In the course of the exca
vation of a Itoinan castle In the vicin
ity of llanati. The bowls were made
of gray clny, and bnoxned by beat.
Hubeiiciitly, numerous fnu'incnts of
whiif Here evidently clay pipes were
liiieiirllied In the ruins of Itoninn set
tlements liwlterland and at An-giist-oti
Itbioe, or Augusta Itaurn
coruin, a II was called by the ancient
Itotoims. Careful examination proved
that Ihe potsherd were part of cbiy
pipe much like the clay pipe of tba
present-day Puteh fishermen, the only
difference being that the stem of the
I toman pipe wa very short, and prob
ably a thick straw wn used a a
mouthpiece. Some of the excavated
pipe bowl have hinge. Indlentlng that
the Itoman used pipe with cover.
There arise the question, "What did
the Itoman smoke?" It I possible
that Inhalation of the smoke of cer
taln plant wa a common In the an
cient Itoman empire a the use of
certain medicines I today In this coun
try, nnd the people, by-nnd by, be
came accustomed to smoking aromatic
narcotics, like hi vender, to while time
away. The fact that smoking pipes
were excavated In ancient Itoman
castle In Switzerland and Germany
Indicates that barbarian mercenaries
In the Itoninn army adopted their
southern minders' custom. iMirlng the
migration of the nation, smoking,
like other customs of civilized ancient
times, was lost In Kurope, to h- re
vived more than a thousand year
later when Spaniard carried tobacco
from America to the old continent.
HAVE HIGH REGARD FOR LIFE
Brahman' Ethic Do Not Allow Them

Mr. C. K. Tyndale Hlseoe. In hi
book, 'Kashmir In Sunlight and

ing account of the lirahmans' peculiar
ities: "It's very dllticiilt to understand
the i'.rnbniatis' ethics. Often In the
Miiiiiner time, when one Is teaching a
class, It happen that a mosquito or a
fly settles on one's hand, l'.y force of

this the lirahmans Jump and cry out,
'Oh. oli! you have taken a life! You
have taken a life!' and suck their lin
gers hard and crack their knuckles,
which Is h (dim of distress nnd horror.
They have of late given up this custom
of showing horror at the death of a
fly or mosquito, for they hate the re
tort. 'I on't you eat mutton?' They
will not kill Insects, and I have seen

the rats do not decrease greatly."
Mice Phenomenal Jumpers.
Mice can make people Jump. Can
they Jump thenis Ives?
The answer Is in the affirmative,
nml. according to an Incident related
by V. (Halifax), they are real dabs
at it. The other day he came upon
n mouse on a fi foot w all. The mouse
ran away, and. finding no means of
gradual descent, look Its life in Its
bunds, and Jumped to the ground. The
ground was a hard beaten foot path,
and, to the astonishment of my corre
spondent, the little creature alighted
without Injury, and scuttled away for
nil It was worth.

Meaning of Clergy.
The word clergy, like the word
clerk, which Is the Latin clericus in
Anglicized form, does not refer ex
clusively to churchmen, but Includes
nil who have miy pretension toward
learning.
William Kufus, the second of the
Norman kings of F.ngland, enacted ftn
ordinance in 1 ON" known by the title
"lienetlt of Clergy," In accordance
with which an accused man could save
ids life on proving that he was not
entirely Ignorant of letters.
The statute In favor of those
who constituted the clergy In this
sense continued nominally In force until
Queen Anne's reign, when !n 1700 It
was repealed, although long before
that It had become a dead letter.

The robin lives in trees and part

times hops, like birds that live in
trees, and sometimes walks or runs,
like birds that live on the ground.
The robin is a plucky little fellow.
He will stand up for himself, and
refuses to let other birds put upon
him. Generally he lives alone some
times with a mate, but never do you
find robins in flocks.
This little bird can claim to be the
inventor of pottery. .
Look at a robin's nest and you will
see tlmt it is a clay pot, set into a
pile of straw. When a robin has fin
ished with a nest, take it and put it
.in the fire, having first thoroughly
dried it. Leave it on the fire until all
tlie straws have been burnt, and if it
has not broken, you will find that
you have a perfectly good earthen pot.

in color. People who have owned them
for long periods say they are not good

TESTING CATTLE RESULTS :
IN QUICKLY ERADICATING TB
That testing cattle for tuberculosis j
and the cleaning up of infected herd3
are having a permanent effect in re-1
ducing the extent of the disease it
shown conclusively by figures recent- j
ly collected by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture from inspec
tors in charge of the eradication work
in various parts of the country. The
inspectors were asked to supply fig
ures on the results of three or more
j tests on badly diseased herds, those
jthat had not less than 10 percent of
reactors on the first test. The first
j test on more than 58,000 cattle in
I these bad herds showed that 26 per
! cent had tuberculosis. Another test
six months later on the same herds,
from which the reactors had been re
moved, showed only 6.9 percent of
the disease. Another six months the
percentage had gone down to 2:8.
A fourth test on more than 25,000 of
these cattle showed only 1.8 percent of
tuberculosis.
The reports from which vhese fig
ures were taken show that under nor
mal conditions herds very badly di
seased may be established as relative
ly free in a short time. They also
show that eradication work can be
carried on without destroying the
cattle industry as is sometimes
thought. Erratic results were ob
tained on a very few of the 1882
herds tested, the list of this class
containing less than 100. Out of
the 120,668 herds under observation
December 1, 1921, there were only a
very few thai had not shown satisfac
tory improvement as a result of test
