The committee in charge of the booth, Mrs. C. P. Bishop. Mrs. Clarence Tollman and Mrs. Frank Englina, were on hand ready for business at the opening hour with thousands of plants. Before noon more than 600 plants had exchanged and with the better weather conditions ia the afternoon, business picked tip so that before the 3 o'clock closing hour, fully 15(H) flow er and vegetable plants had been ex changed. Members of the Floral society are greatly pleased with this first exchange day. There was some doubt as to wheth er Salem would take to the idea- But with the spirit shown today, it was evident that the exchange filled a long felt want. The biggest demand was for snap dragons, forget-me-nots, pansies and gladiolus. When it come to vegetables, the tomato plant was in demand. Any how, now that the exchange idea has been tried and found to meet with snpport, those interested may look for ward to the next exchange day, Satur day May 20. , Jefferson Captured All Held Day Events Jefferson took tho high school and grammar grado track and field meet this afternoon in tho Marion county annual Field day on Willamette Field.

Kemp, who owns the "India" They were taken before Judge Web ster who turned them over to Judge Bushey for final action. This morning he gave them a hearing and cited them to appear this evening before him. The bovs were caught in the act yesterday of removing a propeller wheel trom a speed boat belonging to jvemp. Two months ago a Stewart Vacuum tank, valued at $20, was stolen; two weeks ago they took the steering wheel and other brass works. Judge Bushey believes that the men who receive and buy these brass goods from boys cannot help but know iue goods are stolen and are accordingly equally guilty.

Goodin, secretary of the board of control, in making the survey of the -state aided institutions so that their statements of expense could be audited, was reduced this morning by the board of control from $50 to $30. The work required four days to do and it was paid for at the rate of $7.50 a day.

At tho meeting of the state board of control this morning Secretary Plimpton, of the state printing board, was given a raise in salary of $400 a year, which makes his salary equal to that of the state printer, who receives $2,400 a year. Secretary Plimpton has been receiving $2000 a year. The last legislature increased the salary of the state printer to $24000 a year. c A report to the public service com mission states that engine No. 50 on the Sumpter Valley railroad yesterday afternoon collided with a freight train with the result that two cars of lumber were spilled and the engine derailed.

Today is the last day for the filing of referendum petitions, according to a statement of Secretary of State Olcott this morning. According to the pro visions of the law, the bills passed by the last legislature become laws ninety days after the end of the ses sion. Accordingly, the hew laws be come operative Sunday night just after midnight. Usually, when a certain day falls on Sunday or a holiday the next day after is designated as the day on which the final business can be trans acted. But in this case on that day, which would be Monday in this case, the laws are already in operation. Consequently, this evening at five o'clock, the tinie for filing referendum petitions closes.

This year wheat Is high er but Canadian land Just as cheap, so the opportuni ty is more attractive than ever. Canada wants yon to help feed the world by tilling some of her fertile soil land similar to that which during many years has averaged 20 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre. Think of the money you can make with wheat at ovter $2 per bu. and land so easy to get. Wonderful yields also of Oats, Barley and Flax. Mixed farm ing in Western Canada is as profitable an industry as grain growing. The Government this year is asking farm ers to put increased acreage into grain.
