Necessary Appliance In the
Works Of Picking Cherries
at Fruit Union Plant

Gas masks are being worn in Salem
as well as in the trenches in France
And the masks in Salem are for the
same purpose as those worn in France
that of protecting the wearers from
poisonous gases that choke and that
burn the membranes Of the throat
The wearers Of gas masks in Salem
may be seen any day at work at the
Salem Fruit Union on south High
street. Several men in certain kinds
of work wear the masks as protect
ion during the entire day. This is
necessary as in pickling cherries for
shipment, it is necessary to put them
in a solution of weak sulphurie acid
and the fumes are so strong from this
acid that as a matter Of protection,
gas masks must be worn. They are not
quite as large as those worn in the
French trenches, but are cf the gem
eral shape of army masks.
From 1900 to 1000 barrels Of cherries
win be shipped this season to a Cali
fornia house at San Francisco. The
cherries are placed in barrel with a
weak solution of sulphurie acid to
pickle them. This has the effect of
bleaching them to yellowish white
color.

CITY PAVING PLANT
EARNING REVENUE
Rented to Marion County Il
Brings In Sixty-Five
Dollars Daily

The city of Salem has a $500 paw
ing plant that is turning in an income
of about $65 a day while rented to the
county of Marion. The income is based
on a rental of ~ cents per superficial
square yard of paving put down by the
county.
Since the city council finally agreed
to rent the plant to the county at the
price of ~ cents square yard, it
has netted the city 1925, as the county
has already put down 1000 yards Of
paving on the Salem-Silverton road.
This is about one and one fourth miles.
But the county expects to pave about
rhree and one half smiles on this road
and when this work is completed the
city will be $2310 to the good.
After the work on the Salem-Silyer-
ton road has been completed, the coun-
ty has considerable paving on the new
bridge and on the east approach Of
the bridge, about $500 square yards in
all. At the ~ cents per superficial
square yard, this will amount to 1862.
so. Later if the weather conditions
permit. the county may pave to some
extent on the river road north Of Sa-
lem.
However, with the work already in
sight. the city will receive from the
county in rent at least S2572.5O. Tic
paving on the bridge and approach
win be asphaltic concrete, similar to
that laid by the city on south Church
street.
