Roseburg and vicinity is now in com

ing Logging company is shipping 80,000
crates to Roseburg for the shipment of
broccoli, this being more than double
the amount used last year, ihe crop
will require about 200 cars for shipment,
the greater part going direct to Chicago.
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

geles today and will probably
get to Calexico tonight.
The fir department responded to a
call turned in this morning to fight a
chimney fire, at a house on the corner
of Center and Cottage. The call was
turned in at 11:15. There was no dam
age. o
Members of the Salem Rifle club who

The river is falling as today the

range of temperature for February 8
was from 54 to 38 and juBt 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. Miss Paxson before coming to
Salem, has chargeof the children's de
partment of one of the largest libraries

are ' ' The Princess Whom No One Could
Silence," and "The Cat and the Mouse
in the Malthouse. "
Mr. and Mrs. George B. Hodges have
arrived from Mission City, Iowa, and
will make their home in Salem. They
were residents of this city about, five
years ago and after tryinfg the Iowa
climate came to the conclusion that the
Willamette valley was about right after
all. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Reidle accom
panied them and will make their home
here. Mrs. Beidle is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Hodges.
The disease known as cylindrosporium
or leaf spot of the prune trees is becom
ing a menace to the prune industry of
the valley and experiments to learn the
best means of fighting the disease have
been carried on by the extension depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural college.

ette Valley Prune association and others

treatment for leaf spot and tetll of the
experiments now being carried on.
Besides the movies, there will be
plenty of entertainment in town to
night. The Oregon State Penitentiary
will give its second annual minstrels
this evening beginning at 8 o'clock.
Then those interested in music, will
find the opera "Ernani" given tonight
at the public library by Victrola records
worth while, especially aH Prof. F. 8.
Churchill has loaned a complete record
of the Opera. But the event to attract
the largest number will be the Cher
rian dance at the armory given espe
cially for the legislators, who will be
the guests of honor. Those who do not
dance will find it worth while to look
on from the balcony.

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.

iVaH Street Anxious
For Uncertainty to End
New York, Feb. 9. 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.

Switchmen's Grievances
Have Been Adjusted
Chicago, Feb- 8. 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.

Numerous applications from former
gunners for work on tho liners have
been received, but they have not yet
been acted upon.

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. It is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce will Boat
very little at auy of tho drug store--,
but is sufficient to rid one's feet of
every hard or soft corn or callus.
You arc further warned that cutting
at a com is a suicidal habit.

ship Teams Were Organized
When the Junior membership teams
were organised at the Y. M. C. A. Inst
evening, under the leadership of Rob
ertson Brooks ami lioyal Moore, en
thusiasm ran to such a fever heat th:it
before ten minutes had passed, Rob
ertson Brooks made the rash statement,
that if his side failed in getting morn
members than did Royal Moore, he
would "roll a pea-nut around th.i
block with a crowbar!" The chal
lenge, was immediately taken up by
Captain .Moore. Hence it is an asBuret!
fact that one or tho other will be seen
laboriously chasing a (oor unsuspect
ing "guber" around a busy city-block
this evening.
Tho two teams lead by these two
dead-game sportsmen arc allied with
the men of the senior department -Royal
Moore with Captain Reinhart
and Royal Moore with Captain Wat
son and from indications they will set
a pace which will keep the older fel
lows guessing if they intend to keep
up with them. The teams arc as fol
lows: 11h':i Moore, Captain; Kenneth Per
ry, Bill Howard, Marshall Ryan, Earl
Shafer. Wolcott Buren, Kohhin Fisher,
Reed Rowland, Martfu Holt, Amory
