first going to Lincoln, Nebr.. and the
other to Chicago. These will be fol
lowed by car every day till the order
is filed, and Mr.. Dengel says he be
lieves that more than 20 carloads viii
be needed, so great has grown the
fame of Oregon loganberries.
Two hundred pickers are busily en-
gagged in the Aspinwall yards, and the
oak grove adjoining the yards is filled
with the tents of the campers, where
out-of- door life will be enjoyed to its
fullest extent for a period of six
weeks. Many of the campers seem to
be there primarily for the outing, as
smartly gowned young women are
seen among the pickers, one even
wearing white kid gloves of elbow
length, over which the crimson stain
of the berries spreads.
In spite of the demand for the fresh
fruit, the driers have been kept busy
since opening day, as many of the
smaller growers are planning to hold
their product, and anticipate brisk
demand for it later. The Aspinwalls ;
drier is going at full capacity, Is tons
being used daily, and the new Ramp
drier here is using about the same
quantity.

ROAD WORK NEAR cola.
improvements Are Many in This De-
lightful Section.
By Roadmaster Finn.

| had cause to visit Frank Wilson,
supervisor of District Is, northwest
of Salem in the Eola hills. This road
is one of the smoothest and best
kept gravel roads in the county. 1t
takes one past good, up-to-datc homes
and beautiful orchards. One of the
prettiest localities l have ever seen.
Going on up to the higher parts along
this road one can look his Eli Of the
valley below-rivers, towns, green
fields and orchards, all hemmed in by
distant snow-capped mountains Of the
Cascade and Coast ranges. The view
is unsurpassed.
Around here the people do great
deal of donation work. About $400
worth of donation work is now going
on. The county court has promised to
put up 5000 more. The grading here
is expensive, owing to the boulder
formation, which makes a good foun-
dation for gravel when properly put
in shape. Wheel scrapers, men and
teams, engine rooter, and grader are
busy taking down big hill and filling
below. Retaining walls. built of big
boulders, run the full length of the
fill on both sides. The work is of a
character that one likes to see going
on.
The people along this road did more
good work, gravel hauling and grad
ing, on "good roads day" than all
the balance of the county put together.
Rem Womer, Supervisor of District
10, has finished opening the road
around the Joe Edwards hill, a
change that will be appreciated by ev-
cry one travelling that way.

DALLAS WINS ODD GAME.
Sheridan Baseballists Defeated By
Score of s to 4.

Manager Sibley's sphere manipu-
lators took Sheridan to a cleaning
last Sunday on the local grounds by a
score of s to 4. These teams were
tied for honors, and both were out
for victory from the start. Although
Dallas lead from the outset, with lit
tie chance of being apprehended by
the visitors, there was enough ginger
in the game to keep up interest
throughout the session. Some SEEM
ingly rank decisions were made by
the umpires, and the fans at times
became desperate. but the umpire is
the umpire and his ruling is final.
Dallas will play at Sheridan next
Sunday.

DEATH FOLLOWS FALL
EDWIN CHAPMAN, AGED EIGH-
TY-TWO, SUCCUMBS.
Was Inventor of First Wire Binder
Seen in Country Misfortune
Prevents Marketing.

Edwin Chapman, whose death re-
suited from the effects of fall from
a cherry tree at Ballston last week
into the branches of which he went
with ladder to pick the ripe fruit
came to Polk county thirty years age
from Minnesota and had since made
his home with his daughter, Mrs. A.
M. Tillery, on whose place he met
with the accident that terminated in
his demise. To him belongs the dis
tinction of having invented the first
wire binder, it having priority over
the twine binder of the present day.
Mccormick, the somewhat famous
manufacturer, was deeply interested
in the model, and while he did not
accept it, it is said that his later ma
chine was largely after the pattern
exhibited to him by Mr.. Chapman.
While residing at Rochester, Min
nesota, some thirty-fve years ago,
that country was swept by a disas-
trous cyclone in which his wife was
killed and his workshop, in which he
had models of not only the wire binder
but an improved twine binder, were
wiped out. Discouraged over his mis-
fortune Mr.. Chapman came to Oregon
to JOIN his daughter, and did so after
having resided two years in Portland.
The deceased is survived by three
children. they being Mrs. A. NJ. Till
cry of Ballston, Mrs. George Metcalf
of Salem, and George Chapman of
South Dakota. He was well known
in the Ballston section, and there is
universal regret there over his pass
ing.

in Dallas, when about fifty partici-
pants and interested 0. N. G.. spec
tators will be here. Capt. Stafrin Of
Company l., accompanied Capt. Eel
Ter and his team to Salem last Sun
day, and very naturally, both are
highly elated over the success of the
Dallas boys.
This was the first of series of an
nual shoots to be held over a period
of several years for a trophy offered
by Major Carl Abrams, of the Ore
gon national guard. No men Of the
state rifle team are eligible to take
part in this shoot and officers are
also barred. AS consequence it
gives some of the men who have never
before had an opportunity to take
part in such contest to show what
they can do. The conditions under
which the trophy is given makes it
to win it in less than four
years and as consequence the con-
est cannot but extend over period
If several years.
On Wednesday, July l, Major
Abrams will make the regular quar-
erly inspection of Company L, and
Vt that time will present the trophy
won last Sunday to the team.

A dispatch from Brooks says: With
