Repeal ing the dog ordinance recently declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, the Salem city council last night passed an- measure removed. ' Because the suppreme court held that the city authorities must notify dog owners before killing animals impounded, the new ordinance contains this pro vision. The old measure permit ted dogs caught running at largo to bo killed without notice to tho owner, after the animal had been kept for a few days. Now the city authorities are re quired to give notice to the dog owner in writing, or in lieu ot We Have a Well Balanced Stock of qutlery and hardware. Wo don't juggle prices eith er.

The nation has fallen .for tho Oregon Loganberry. It likes tho berry fresh and it likes it evap orated, and even our old tried and true friend of grape juice fame, the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, says that if the nation must be drunk let it be drunk on Loganberry juice. A case of the juice reached Mr. Bryan at the Palace Hotel the other even ing just before he started for the big tabernacle here to deliver his address on "This Causeless War." The public and the news- ! papers agreed that Mr. Bryan i orated as he never had before. and said hc was fn of inspira- tion. We at the Oregon build ing knew that it was loganberry juice, and that the newspaper men suspected was evidenced in a cartoon in the San Fran cisco Chronicle the following morning showing Mr. Bryan with "His New Love" a bottle of loganberry juice. Grape juice was given a seat to the rear, Oregon was pictured as a suc cession of sites for loganberry juice factories, and in the-lTacIc-ground loomed the old Salem, brewery with its big sign dis placed by another announcing its conversion into a juice fac tory. All of this, with articles-in'the several san branclsco papers. attracted spec-al attention to - fa D a(. the Q hllllflln ,! M nnf1 hpr thm, :sands frQm four comer8 of ERR E the nation smacked their lips over generous samples of , the fluid extract, tasted the evapor ated berry restored to its orig inal glory with the aid of water for which Oregon is famous, and at the building's domestic sci ence luncheon Exposition swell- dom consumed loganberry sher-" ' bets, ices and pie. Loganberries and loganberry juice literally overflowed the Oregon building on the 29th, O. L. Ferris, repre-, senting the Oregon Fruit Juice Company, the first Oregon con cern to manufacture loganberry juice for commercial purpose, , came down from Salem and car- ' ed for a large shipment of the Pheasant brand in botyles of all sizes from the two-ounce to the , stood in the center of the floor and hundreds of gallons of the liquid were sampled from the booth. Loganberry jam made from the evaporated berries of last year was served spread on crackers and this caught the fancy of every taster. In a program of address dur ing tho afternoon, Judge J. H. Logan, of Oakland, the origin ator of the loganberry, was conspicious. Ho told how as a matter of accident he secured a cross between tho Texas Early blackberry and tho Ursinus dew berry, and then another cross between these two and tho Red A Antwerp raspberry. This was in 1881 and the fame of tho Logan- I berry has grown to the propor- . tions of tqday, Judge Logan (Continued ou Pago 4)
