AUSTRALIAN BLACKBERRY IS
ADAPTED TO ALL CLIMATES

California is the home Of the Aus
fralian variety Of blackberries, an IL
Illustration of which is shown herewith
shown as grown by B. S. Kennedy Of
Sebastopol, Cal, who says:
In marketing small fruits 1 find this
to be the most profitable and delicious
berry in cultivation.
This strain of blackberry does not
grow its roots through the soil like
other varieties, which send up sprouts
between the rows causing so much
trouble, but 1t sends them downward
into the moist soil, guaranteeing good
crops of berries in the dryest seasons
when other kinds often blast, and out
side Of the hill there is no sprouts,
except where the tips of the vines are
buried for that purpose.
The Australian blackberry is adapt
ed to all climates where the tempera-
ture does not fall lower than Is de-

cover method by which ten tons Of
berries per acre may be grown, and
averaged year after year. No crop
could be more profitable. Some peo-
pie are inclined to think that the Giant
Himalaya, and Oregon everbearing,
and the Australian Himalaya Black
berry are all the same variety but the
Australian strain of blackberries are
entirely distinct from the other two
and while the Giant and Oregon ever
bearing may do well in Oregon they
are almost worthless in California as
they are soft small and seedy and un-

Either blocks or cement poured in

PLANNING BIG
DREDGING WORK
Port Commission will Begin
Harbor improvements
Early Next Spring

MONTESANO, Dec. 14.-The pur-
chase or building Of big dredge
to be used in harbor on Grays Har-
Dor is said to be the plan of the
members of the port commission ac-
cording to Commissioner A. c. Nc
Neill of this city.
1--WE are not doing any work be-
cause the first money due the COM
mission will not be available until
after March IT, said Mr.. Mcneil. 1--WE
are planning to purchase some prop
erty between the cities of Aberdeen
and HoQuiam for the building Of
docks and have also considered the
matter of buying or building a dredge.
There is a great deal Of work to be
done on Grays Harbor and in the
Chehalis. Hoquiam and Wishkah riv-
ers, and if this district purchases it's
own dredge, l am of the opinion that
a big saving in dredging work will
be the result"
The first amount of money availa-
BILE for improvement will be approx
mately $4,000, but with the excep-
ton Of the report Of Engineer Virgil
Bogue, who spent several days on this
harbor drawing up, set of plans for
docks and other improvements, the
commission has not definitely decided
on any plans for the future.
