on this latter subject, from r.

Judge James H. Login sleeps with
his fathers at Sarita Cruz, Cal. He
lived in that city to a* ripe old age.
In the late ’seventies/ the present
editor of the Enterprise, publishing
a paper in that county, had the pleas­
ure of supporting Mr. Logan’s can­
didacy for the position of district
attorney.
Later, it supposed him
for judge of the superior couPt. Both
campaigns were successful ones for
Mr. Logan, and after* one of them
he made the young editor a substan­
tial gift of cash, saying, in substance:
“It is customary in California fr •
candidates to subsidize newspapers to
support them. You have a reputation
for refusing to accept money under
such considerations, but you have
been a material help’Mn this cam­
paign and now, when there can be
no suspicion that your course is In­
fluenced by money, I with to make
you a present.”
The editor afterwards had the
pleasure of being "sat upon” for a
whole week by a jury in' Judge
Logan’s court in a libel prosecution
and pronounced not guilty.
One year Judge Lhgan noticed in
his garden a plant which he could
not classify. It grew and flourish­
ed. It was the first loganberry plant
ever seen. It grew between a Law-
ton blackberry and a Gregg black
cap raspberry.
It multiplied from
seed and from abundafit suckers and
was distributed under the name de­
rived from Judge Logan’s.
When it reached Oregon it achiev­
ed a vigor, productiveness and excell­
ence unknown elsewhere, and Oregon
became the home of the loganberry
industry. During the war this Ore­
gon fruit and its product, the ex­
pressed juice, became popular all over
this country and across the seas.
Then came the fall of prices in
general, but loganberry producers and
dealers held on to the old prices.
Shelves and warehouses weye filled
with the delicious product, but the.
former consumers rerused to buy..
They desired the fruit and the juice,,
but they thought the price ought to
come down, as others had.
This situation coojwd the goose
that had been laying golden eggs for
loganberry producers, and to this day
the majority of them have lost money
on the crop. But such « fruit cannot
be allowed to permanently go out of
use. Those who have a field of them
will do well to hold on to them. So
satisfying a product as this fruit and
its juice will not be long in coming
back into favor at fair prices.
Meantime the question remains
unsolved whether the logan was a
hybrid, a sudden leap forward in
evolution or a new creation.
Darwin might have been puzzled
over this phenomenon if he could
hnve considered it when writing of
the origin of species.
So far it is the only variety of its
species. There has os yet been no
evolution in its c«9e, fart hen than
that it is larger and more prolific
nnd juicier in Oregon than in the
place of its origin, while in many
parts of the country it is a decided
failure.

This section of Linn county is
known far and wide as the home of
full blood stock. The ribbons that
have been brought home from every
fair or exhibition on the coast atte !
to this. But there is one breeder who
has quietly worked along and not for
ribbons who is also making a pro­
nounced success, and that is Geo.
Belt, with his full blood Shrop sheep.
George introduced this breed into
Linn county 35 years ago and has
sold to several other breeders in the
valley their first start and among
them, he admits, are breeders who
outstrip him for popularity and for
large flocks, but he won’t admit they
have any better sheep.
Mr. Belts has 300 registered Shrop­
shire*. He is also letting out about
850 grades on share. This is consid­
erably more than be usually carries
but none too many for the favorable
season.
