Toe rains of the fore part of the week damaged the crop to a considerable extent, and of the recejpts of Tuesday : and Wed nesday, very - few were of value for shipping. ?Tbe berries were really not injured, as the rains so far have not lasted long. enough and .the, weather man has now kindly -: promised , dry warm days for the especial benefit of the1 At raw berry grower, so, all will come out - right after all, and ' really, the splendid showers of the last few- days have been the making of the straw berry crop. ' ' . t -j. As stated, the berries weTe not real ly damaged to any appreciable extent, but they were softened, and be potted with r dirt, so" that they could not be placed on the foreign market as- choice Salem berries. However, the Fruit Growers-Association has shipped a few to Portlan1, choosing the choicest thai- came In,' and these berries netted the growers about $L23 per crate. A great many growers wbo are not In tbe union persist In bringing berries to market which are not V. sorted or packed, and which in consequence are worth less money. These berries are sold to the grocery stores and do a great, deal toward lowering, the prices here. Of course the rainy weather caused more than the usual number1 of berries to be marketed In the city, "and In consequence the prices .were con siderably lowered: f Yesterday berries were selling freely In the open market, for five cents per box, and from $1 to $1.20 per crate, according to quality. At the Gile & Co; Warehouse not as much' business was being done as last week. Quite a quantity of berries had been offered, but they would not stand shipping. Numerous orders were on file with' the. company from different parts jof Oregon and other Western states asking for shipments of berrlea. but Mr. Gile only ventured to ship a few to nearby points in Oregon. Prob ably by today they will begirt to as sume better form, and larger ship ments will go forward to interior points. The Salem Cannery is now doing the largest volume of business of any year in its' history, packing over 200 cases delicious Oregon strawberries dally. To' ha hdle this large volume of I business nearly .one "hundred hands are employ ed, making a neat sum paid out dally in wages. " About 80 of these hands are girls, who stem the 'strawberries and cherries.,.. Yesterday the first of the season's pack of cherries was made. The entire force haVing been put to work Wednesday afternoon stemming cherries and getting them ready for the grader., The girls are paid for their work by measure, and each carries pin ned to her dress a card which is punched - each time a box of cherries si stemmed. ..'",.'. 1 ' " The vUerries being; receive'l now. ae of an inferior quality, the early vari eties of both white ajid red cherries, but Manager Holcomb stated that he was prepared to use any kind of fruit, and will put several different grades on the markeL .- After being stemmed the cherries are all carefully graded, and then put Into cans, covered with about a 20 per cent syrup, and the tops fioldered on. The cans go into stfsm vats,' where they are cooked for about ten minutes, and then punched, to let out the steam. A man follows up with a soldering iron and. puts a drop of solder over each hole and the cans are j ready for the labels and then the market. The same process is . employed for strawberries, but the syrup used Is a little heavier, about 40' per cent for Wilsons, the favorite berry for can ning. There are a great many berries coming in of the light colored varieties, but they are very '. unsatisfactory for canning, and Manager Holcomb re- maraeu mat even Tor table use, -tire me plenty of sugar and rich cream, and I'll take the Wilson berries everytime. In preparation for handling thla crop of fruit the cannery has ' been over hauled and some new machinery added and nowhe total capacity of the plant Is about lOoO cases per day. The can nery is being very liberally, patron! ied by the growersgenerally and the pros pects are for a very fine pack of ber ries. A. Verder is now marketing about thirty-six' crates per day from . forty acres, and .his berries are some of the choicest seen. In the market, . He Is a careful grower And ? the best possible care Is taken of j his vines, and he picking and packing of he fruit, . ., The berry vines have now recovered f rom the searching effects of the hot daya, and the recent refreshing show ers have" been the means of greatly lengthening the strawberry season, and probably doubling the y-ld.

Ma jor Frank Edwards was presented on Monday afternoon with a gold watch by the cadet battalion. The incident occurred on the parade grounds during the progress of the drills, and Tx as a very pretty manifestation of the better side of human life. .At a proper mo men during the drill. Captain Hardin "directed two" cadet officers to arrest Major Edwards and brinj him before the battalion. Tbe cadets were all drawn up In close order, and whew the prisoner arrived a number, of them lifted him to their shoulders. and car ried him arrrual the battalion. They 1 - brought him finally to" the colors, when Professor Berebrold stepped forward, and with a few remarkslaid the ele gant fclft in the major's hands.; Half dazed with the proceeding, and entirely 'overcome with emotion, iTajor Edwards attempted to speak, bnt tbe words would not ' come. In many a bright eye along the line of cadets the tears shone responsive to those that gleamed from the eyes of their -old commandant. A secon4 time. Major Edwards failed ' in .an attempt to ex press " his gratitude, and then -at the suggestion of Captain Hardin the ca dets gave three-hearty cheers far he major, and the incident closed. : The watch is a solid gold hunting case,! engraved on the outside of the front case with a picture : of the ad ministration building at the colleee.J On the outer back is a similar engrav ing of the armory,.

He tells a sad tale of the aw ful scenes which confronted him on his arrival In Heppner. He went as far fl a lone by rail, and drove on from there. David Herren was not in Hepp ner at the fi roe, and so, of course, es caped tha storm. His wife was in her home, the house being about one hun dred feet from the "creek, at the time of the disaster,' and before she - had hardly realized that the storm was on, the house, was floating and being torn to pieces by the debris and raging tor rent." She cluog to the house, and after floating about four and a hair, blocks with tbe flood.' was pushed ashore by the other wreckage, and saved to as sist In the rescue f others! Her daughter was vislting'at a near neigh bor's at the time, and waa swept away, but after floating about a block, some - one caught her dress as she Coated by and rescued her. When the husband and father heard of the terrible disas- j gram commemorating the one hun ter? he hurried to the scene, and great 'd red th anniversary of the admission of wa his rejoicing on discovering that his loved ones were safe, even though his home and ail their household pos sessions had been swept away In al most a moment time. .Mr., Herren "said that the borrors of that scene could not be described.
