We have been informed from a reli-

bachelors living northeast of Water
vile has plenty of prepared sour dough
this year.
1t is said that he cut his wheat while
some OF it was still quite green. No
sooner had he cut it when the thresh.
ers moved in and threshed it. The
wheat that was ripe threshed all right
but the green wheat is all in a mush
and the neighbors think of buying it up
for sour dough.

bad as there was more than 100 acres

Straw Day

| Some towns in eastern Washington
are having what they call straw day, >
when all the stores shut up and every
body goes out to scatter straw over the
roads Heading into town. The soil is
composed OF volcanic ash and in the
latter part of the summer when it is
dry the roads get badly cut up with
holes and the dust is sometimes three
or four inches deep. The straw tends to
keep down the dust and also fills up
the holes:
MONDAY, August %, is to be Lind :
first "straw day" The roads are re-
ported a in bad condition in that vicin-
ity and the business men, realizing the
necessity of making them passable for
wheat teams, have got together and
decided to have a straw day, when all
the business houses will be closed and
the proprietors and employees will turn
out aud help straw the roads leading
into town.
"Would it not be well to follow the
example of our sister town and have a
straw day here? The roads are already
in bad shape and, what will they be a
little later, when wheat hauling begins
in earnest?Will some one take the in
iative and try and arouse our people to
action? Or, to expedite matters, will
the mayor call meeting and invite all
citizens and farmers interested to come
out and help the movement along. p

A WONDERFUL TREE
of Its Flowers Produce I'm
consciousness

A wonderful tree OF unknown variety
has been discovered in mountain can
yon in a spur of the San Jacinto noun
tains, down near San Bernardino. 1t
was discovered by party of prospect
ors who penetrated the canyon in
search of water. A branch of the tree
and its blossoms were brought to this
city for classification but it is unknown
to botanists in this city reports the Los
Angeles Times
The leaves OF the tree resemble in
size and shape the fig leaf, but they are
OF vivid purple color and the under
side of the leaf is thickly covered with
stiff hairs, which stand out from the
leaf fully half an inch. These hairs are
sharp and thornlike and easily pene-
trate the skin, and when they do so
they are poisonous, causing swelling
and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are of
rusty red color and are about two
inches in diameter. In shape they are
a very good representation of the tar
antula. There is huge hairy bulb, in
shape resembling the abdomen of the
poisonous spider, and there are several
chives or stamens, corresponding to the
legs of that insect.
7 he most peculiar feature of the
plant, however, remains to be told.
Whenever one approaches the plant or
when the wind agitates the branches OF
the Tree, the flowers give off an abun-
dance of perfume-heavy, ,sickening and
deadening. This perfume has the
quality of chloroform and few inhala-
tions of the odor produce unconscious
ness. The prospectors who made the
discovery of the plant were rendered
insensible upon approaching

81 years old, was educated as a civil

WHAT SHALL SALEM PEOPLE DO.

School Director Fletcher has en-
gagged in personalities because this
paper has said that a majority of the
board showed mossback tendencies
that were deplorable.
This paper has never engaged in
personalities in discussing school af-
fairs and does not propose to. This
paper has not undertaken the defense
of City Supt. Traver.
He is young man of 33, who has
devoted all his life to teaching. He
has accomplished decided results at
Salem for the improvement of the
schools and he seems to be in de,
mand elsewhere.
The Journal is not attempting any
defense of Supt. Traver His work
for the Salem schools, although not
above criticism. has been endorsed
by the school board.
The weak point to all that has been
printed by Director Fletcher is that
If Mr. Trayer has violated the orders
of the school Board, why did the board
re-employ him?
But the purpose of this paper Is not
to have a controversy with any mem
ber of the school board. Mr. Fletcher
has stated that he will be guided en-
tirely by the expressed will of the peo-
pie.
Il is up to the people of Salem
school district No. "a to say what
they want their schools to become. At
the next election they must vote up
or down the grades above the ninth
grade.
They must vote up or down whe.
ther the Salem schools shall be put
on par with the other towns of the
same size in the state, and Mr., Fletch-
er agrees to abide by that vote.
That is a fair proposition and the
people Of Salem can take no excep-
tion to that. And the people win not
vote their schools down below the
grades that are carried on in all cities
OF the size Of Salem in the United
States.
The people of Salem should sustain
the proposition TO have grades in the
public schools above the ninth grade.
They should elect a school director

there win be large cash surplus at
the end of this school year, and there
win be no use whatever for this mon
ey and no debt to pay for many years.
The people should demand report
Of the financial condition of the dis.
trict and see if there cannot be a
movement started that will result in
a new school house in place of the
Central schools.
All know that those old unsightly
school houses are discredit to the
second largest school district in the
state, and a disgrace to the Capital
City and should be abolished.
The people should discuss these
matters and adopt plan for going
ahead and securing a new school
house on Center street. The Journal
believes it can be done without incur.
ring a dollar of debt.
That improvement has been prom
ised for years and should be delayed
no longer. The people will not get
progress and improvements unless
they take these matters up and push
them.

WOODBURY. INDEPENDENT
AGAINST SCOTT,

The Woodburn Independent comes
out editorially against Judge Scott for
reelection, and advocates the election
of Mayor Corby. 1t says at the end
of long article
There is not a politician in Ma
rion county who does not know that
the Independent can be more explicit
and prove to the people that it would
be grave error and damaging to the
Republican party of this county to
re-elect Judge Scott. WE HOPE EN-
TERING INTO FULL DETAILS
WILL BE UNNECESSARY, AND
THAT ALL WILL SEE THEIR DUTY
WITHOUT FURTHER ELUcIDA-
TIoN."
The above is pretty nearly threat,
and Judge Scott had better "see' the
Woodburn editor. If the editor has
had any bad dreams he ought to make
them public anyhow.
For a newspaper man who has
fought the best men in the party, and
not been above almost distressful re.
proach himself to try to elect Mayor
Corby county judge in this way is a.
mistake.
Mayor Corby is fine man, but he
has chosen a poor weapon to fight
Scott with in the person of the
Woodburn editor. who is not above
the line of vulnerability himself.
If the county Judge has been guilty
of any lapses of official duty the
Woodburn editor owes 1t to the pub.
lie to tell them all about it, and let
them judge for themselves, instead of
out inuendos.
