Roseburg claims to be the broccoli cen ter of the country, but those who know, say it can be raised profitably around Salem, especially as the crop is ready for shipment about 30 days later than Roseburg, supplying the market demand atter the Roseburg crop has been ship ped.

It was stated that the neces sary cart are leaving Los An geles today and will probably get to Calexico tonight.

The range of temperature for February 8 was from 54 to 38 and juBt one year ago it was from 52 to 48, indicating that at least the weather man is handing out this month about the same kind he did one year ago. o Those who seem to have a hard time keeping the wolf from the door, meta phorically speaking, will doubtless be interested in the address to be delivered nex Monday evening in the chapel of Willamette university by Prof. J. O. Hall. He has chosen for his subject. "Remedies Against Poverty." Prof. nau nas devoted many years to socio logical research work. Miss Ruth Pazson, who recently came from Pittsburg, Pa., to become school librarian, will tell the stories at the pub lic library Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock.

Hodges have arrived from Mission City, Iowa, and will make their home in Salem.

See or Phone R R Ryan MAYOR HARLEY GAVE SOLONS'ROAST" DINNER AT MARION LAST NIGHT Only Two Guests Bolted When Host Told Them Frankly What Chumps Tbey Were There was a banquet at the Marion Hotel last evening tendered by the Clatsop county delegation and Mayor Hurley of Astoria. It was an informal dinner -very. There has not been one like it since the famous Gambrell din ner party in New York four or fir years ago given to Prince Boris of Russia who in the middle of the func tion threw down his napkin and "flew the coop." Society was shocked but society kept its mouth shut, and to this day the public knows nothing of the reasons that led to his royal high ness leaving the "Gambrell joint." It isnot so with last night's dinner, although Senator Eddy of Douglas county, and Representative Anderson, of Hood Hirer and Wasco counties, followed the Boris example and left before the dessert came in. There are two opinions as1 to why the banquet was given, either or both may be right, or they may be wrong. One is that the Bitulithic paving inter ests were seeing that the Hotel Marion was reimbursed, and the other that the Macleay fishing interests located down at the mouth of Hogue river, was trying to organize tho senate against the bill interfering with commercial fishing on that very troublesome, quarrel-breeding stream. It matters ;iot however, what the cause, the dinner was progressing nice ly and according to program. The menu was, satisfactory, the atmosphere friendly, and the service good. Father (Waters spoke at length, dealing largely with the matter of good roads, and his remarks were heartily applauded. He was followed by Mayor Barley of Astoria. This was not according to program, for as one of thoso interested remarked, he was " uncontrollable. " The description fitted him, for he liviened things up considerable. He leaped like Minerva, fully armed, into the hilarity of the occasion. It is un fortunate that his speech cannot be given in full but here is a sample of what he said to the legislators: "You are a bunch of boobs and un controllable, and so long as you intro duce cigarette bills and liquor traffic bills, you are an insult to the mothers who bore you. A man who has to kiss his wife when he leaves home in the morning, and tell her at what minute he would be home; who Is tied to her apron strings, are the kind of men we have representing us in the legislature. When I leave my home in the morn ing, my wife don't ask me when I am coming back, whether 1 am going to smoke or take a drink. It is none of her business. She recognizes I am the provider of our home. Stand up and be men. Vote your convictions and stay by them. Just so long as you forget the interest of capital in this state, as you are doing, as you claim for the interest of the people of the state, just so long will I appear here year after year and' fight this thing until you are whipped into line. I wish I had never invested my money in the state, despite its great possibil ities which are being received by such legislation as you are enacting." He said much more and said it forcibly; and right in the middle of it, Senator Eddy and Representative An derson left the dining room. At the conclusion of Mayor Barley's dissertation on legislative "cultus ncss'' Representative Mrs. Thompson resented Barley's accusations and said she was more interested in the boys and girls more than she was in the woes of capital. Sho had observed capital was usually able to take care of itself. She threw her napkin down, pushed her chair buck and prepared to learn, but was dissuaded. The banquet broke up soon after. Barley's tirade effectually squelching all hilarity. The invited guests did not bother about conventionalities or seek teek the host, Mayor HafTey, to express their delight over the enter tainment. Instead they grabbed their hats and sought safety in flight, and the sanctity of the committee rooms, which for once, seemed real havens of j rest. Yes, it was a previously informal af ! fair. The Rogue river fish bill is still be fore the senate. It may stay there. i VALUABLE PAINTING DESTROYED E. H. Sothern Ruins Canvass Worth Hundreds of Dollars One scene alone in "The Chattel" the Vitagraph Blue Kgbbon Feature starring the world's most famous actor E. H. Sothern cost the Vitagraph com pany hundreds of dollars. Mr. Hothern as a wealthy financier purchased a beautiful painting called "The chattel." He believes his giri wife his chattel also as he helped her father out of financial difficulties be fore their marriage. When she loams of the state of affairs she plays against I him in the stock exchange and buysi her freedom. It is then that he slashes the canvass of "The Chattel," with a sword de spondent because, for the first time in his life he has failed in keeping wnat ne coveted. This painting played a large part in the story and was purchased by the Vitagraph company for a large sum. Nevertheless, nothing was done to pre vent the destruction of the valuable canvass for to have eliminated the scene would have meant dramatic sui cide on the part of the plot. Hee this film at the Oregon theatre tomorrow. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR I A It's an awful thing to lose your hair! One of the nm signs of unhealthy hiir is mmmdng.

The New York Evening Sun financial review to. lay, said: Wall Street is rapidly drawing to tho point where it will welcome any kind of news that will put a eriod to the uncertainty now prevailing, even though the whole situation must resolve itself into an untimate state of war. Affairs at the present time could scarcely be more disturbing. Not only are the stock and bond markets that prey of every idle rumor, bui thosc.j'n gaged in financial enterprises do not know which way to turn and the result is practical stagnation. , It is argued, not without some show of reason, that if the kaiser and his ministers had wanted to force the is sue it would have been a simple matter a week ago to have made a "mistake" that could only lead to war between .he two countries. It is not surprising, therefore, that trading in securities was sluggish today. A variety of rumors failed to impart any material animation. Washington is keenly alive to the fact that so long as this country awaits the overt act just so much longer is it under virtual blockade by Germany. Not only was trading extremely quiet but price changes with few exception" were nigligible. In the afternoon the general list was inclined to be heavy. At the same time there was distinct, weakness in tho traction and other public utility shares. . United States Steel moved listlessly between 105',4 and something below 104. The other steel and copper shares were alike narrow for the most pari.

Eighteen railroads entering Chicago have granted the de mands of tho Switchmen's Union and the strike that yesterday seemed inev itable will not ococur. The strike vote, token recently, last nght was annulled by Viee-PreBident James Murdoch of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men. The four grievances of the switchmen were adjusted the first hour of the con ference yesterday, but tho additional demand for an eight hour day and time and one-half for overtime kept the rep resentatives of the board of managers and union officials haggling until late into the night. "Wo have reached a satisfactory agreement with the men," George Hin nauer, chairman of the managers' com mittee said. "All danger of a strike is passed." The strike threat, if carried into ef fect, would have paralyzed transcontin ental shipping through Chicago. NOT ABLE TO ARM New York, Feb. !). T'nable to find guns with which to arm their ships, of ficials of the American line today said the sailing of the St. Iiuis is just as indefinite as ever. Numerous attempts to get gun from American manufac turers have bronght the response that they will have to come through the United States navy, as all guns now be ing made in this country are for for eign governments. Numerous applications from former gunners for work on tho liners have been received, but they have not yet been acted upon. Port regulations today are consider ably relaxed. Collector of the Port Malone has withdrawn orders that no udoll h allowed to leave the Ger man and Austrian fhips without going to Ellis Island. Tho men are now paroled in custody of their officers. Each man's namrt and whereabouts were given port officials. j.,.h..v nrArr lin stonued the issu ance of seamen's papers to aliens ap plying for first naturalization papers.

HARD AND SOFT OR ANY KIND OF CORN Tells How to Loosen a Tender Com So It Lifts Out With out Pain You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug culled freezone, which tho moment a few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers. It is a sticky substance which driet the moment it is applied and is said to simply shrivel the corn without in fmming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin.
