UNDER THE SHADE OF THE CUCUMBER TREE Following In the wake of the June snow peak of Japan from the land DelS" will come a real harvest! of the Senoussl to the harems of of picture hats. To see a nioaern woman tilt her head to one side In order to enter a street car door is a sight for the gods. But they are very pretty the hats. Vol. II., No. 1, "The National Post" comes along. I can see no excuse for it. I suuuose most newspapers ap plaud every new publication that anyone Is Insane enough to attempt. There are worlds too many now Thev cumber the mails and lose some honest ueoule good money. It Is mibllslied at 29-31 East 22d street New York. That is where Its funeral will be held. It Is a mere echo from the discordant limbo of yellow Jour nalism a discordant wall without originality. Strenuous magazinlsm and muck raking is to invade the peaceful ot,o,i,.o nt tha Vlawnlinn Islands.

The latter is easily the "arbiter elcgan tarium" of letters and arts on the Pa clflc coast He is a combination of Plato, Socrates and Leonardo dl Vinci, and then gome. There is a strong tang of the west in the Pa cific's May basket. The Century for May takes one to Rome In the days of the Caesars, to Tangiers, to China, Germany and to Niagara Falls. Andrew Carnegie gives the infant class something to talk about in the A, B, C of the tariff question. I will read his opinions on the tariff with as much credulity as I would listen to Captain Kldd dilate on the pleasures of piracy on the high seas.

Ida Tar Barren exploits the Standpatter and there are other Interesting peo ple. But The Man' Under the Cucum ber Tree is sorry the curtains are to be pulled off the Illusions of Ha waii. It was one place he dreamed of wanting to go see. The National Sportsman (75 Fed eral street, Boston,) Is all devoted to angling for April. We can smell the cold gray mornings, the bacon get- ting crisp over the coals, the kinks coming out of our back as we uncoil from the blankets by the camp Ore and the absence of the game we went after. But such Is life. Our pleasures are always in something else than what we label them. The unlabelled enjoyments that come an unexpected surprise are the only real pleasures. The Wide (Wide) World Magazine (33-35 Duane street, N. V.) knows no seasons and no locality. Its contents are literally its name and vice versa. Would you be taken away from home pulled out of your woodchuck hole In life, yanked out of yourself, read it It is too much to skip from Zam besi to Labrador, from the bottom of the ocean to the top of the sacred good old honest had no laws to robberies. a smoke with Captain Kldd who protect him in his The Photo-Era, of Boston, has one pretty girl and a lot of fine winter scenes. In Oregon, where we can sit in our parks under green trees at all seasons of the year, these win ter pictures have a wierd and un earthly appearance. We recall them like memories of scenes in some oth er world, not the one we now In habit. But all in the Photo-Era is fine. John S. McGroarty is the parent of the most westerly literary child. The West Coast Magazine, of Los Angeles for April has his fine original poem, The Old Regiment. It is as clear cut a picture in words as Messonier's "1814." The "West Coast" has poe try, eloquence and a ring of sincerity that is strikingly absent in many Eastern publications. "Our Animals" is printed monthly for the San Francisco society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (2514 Sixteenth street). Matthead McCurrle is the very efficient secre tary of Humane work In California It will be a pleasure for all friends of dumb animals to come in touch with his work. PRUNES WILL BE HIGHEST III MANY YEARS That the price for both green and dried prunes will be the greatest in the history of the prune Industry of the valley Is the prediction of C. L, Dick, manager of the Salem Fruit Union. Mr. Dick made the statement Just after a conference with E. M. Mc Kearney, the northwest representa tive of the Produce & Fruit associa tion of Med ford, and whose mission to the city was to secure a contract for 200 cars of green prunes. Mr, Dick says that the best price paid for prunes was in 1909 when they sold at 65 cents, and while unwilling to say what the offer of Mr. McKear- ney was, he admitted that it was considerable higher. While the Union does not handle great quantities of dried prunes and he is not aa conversant with condi tions with relation to them as the green, he says that the price is high er than it has been for some time and predicts that it will soar still higher. )c, )(c )(c s(t 3(c Jfc sc )t )( X-RAYS AND SMILES. The Oregon Emerald, the U. of O. official paper, heads an article, "Wo man's Emerald Will Be a Hum dinger," which will be gratifying to the whole state, not so much because it is a humdinger but because the use of- the humdinger word shows that the education of our college boys is not being pushed over into transcendentalism, which by the way, Is somewhat of a humdinger itself. Lachmund won his bet, which shows he is better at betting than some other things. Just put it down that Ruth St Denis gave Salem the most delight ful entertainment at the Grand last bight that was ever put on a Salem stage. She demonstrated there is "something new under the sun", at least new to modern times. The way to be satisfied is Just to be satisfied. The horse editor's plan la that, "If you don't get what you like, like what you get," even if it is a water plant in the neck. Wherther or not Hell is satisfied with Its paving material good In tentlons there Isn't much doubt it would be unanimous in favor of mun icipal ownership of a water system and that is wherein It is superior to Salem.

And never, so long as his life should endure, Would eye, cheek, ior lip of another maid lure He knew It past every doubt he was sure But his fingers were crossed!

Journal: There is a kind of shark follows the schools of whales In the Pacific ocean. When the whales are at rest the killers rise above them and weighing several tons strike the whales and by keep ing this up once in a while kill one, and the dead or disabled whale floats ashore and Is a sight for the' beach combers. We are afflicted with too many killers at Salem. The water commission organized of state, county and city officials, of members of the board of trade and Business Men's league, all Count for nothing when one killer gets In his work. We killed the Good Roads legislation for the past 10 years in the same way. We can always find an excuse for killing things. We have set our city and country back 10 years that the killers may have their sport. Let us have the grlller In place of the killer. A. I. LIVESON. What Foley Kidney Pills Will Do lor Ion.
