Tomorrow morning if the weather is
fair, it is probable that one may see
an airplane over Salem, heading north.i
That is, if the aviator who is now or
his way from Sacramento to Seattle
happens to fly on this side Of the
Willamette valley. He is scheduled to
pass the night at Engene on his way
north, but rs no landing place was
secured IN Salem, it will no. be cen
venient for him to mako a call on the
governor. He should pass through this
part of the valley about . O'Clock to-
morrow morning.
Since the exemption board was called
upon to handle the military problem
in this part Of the county, it has clas-
sified 5,OS7 men For the first regis
tration of June 5, 1917, 1895 men were
enrolled and properly classified. For
the June, 1918 registration, only ia
were enrolled. This was for the men
who had reached the age of 21 years
during the year following the first
registration. At the Sept. 5, 1918, reg
istration, 1901 names were handled OF
men between the ages of l9 and 36
years, 1887 between the ages of 27
and As and only 1SO Of the young men
1S years old. There were Is objectors
in the June 5, 1917, registration, only
one in the June 1918, list and 10 in
the registration of Sept. 5, 1918. More
men were in class 4 than any other
classification but of the Is year old
boys, none were found in this class.
Although no definite date has been
given for the discharging of members
of the s. A. T. G. attending Willamette
University, it is thought that all will
receive their discharge by Dec. 81. 1t
is possible that an effort will be made
by educational institutions to induce
the war department to permit the 5.
A. T. G. boys to complete their studies
for this semester, and not disband the
organizations before Christmas.
The government s order releasing all
1850 prunes, win mean that 10000, 700
pounds of prunes may be sold through
the regular civilian channels and that
half of this amount will come from the
Willamette valley. There will be some
DELAY as it will be necessary to secure
permits to ship car lots to eastern parts.
AS soon as these embargo permits are
received, eastern shipments to the At
lantic roast will be made. The secur-
ing Of embargo permits will require
week or ten days.
And now just. as everyone is look
i ing for lower prices in drygoods comes
the announcement that owing to the
demand for goods in Europe, there is
| but little prospect Of any reductions
before next summer. About all spring
goods have been purchased on the pres
ent market and with strong export
demand, it looks as if there will be no
radical reductions. In few lines, such
as calico and some ginghams, the prices
are a cent or two lower, but the general
dry goods market is holding steady.
The hop industry in the Willamette
valley is picking up, according to a
hop expert. And to prove his assertion,
he states that a contract was entered
into yesterday for 10000 pounds of
hops each year for three years and
that the contracting price was 20 cents
/ a pound.
An important meeting Of auxiliary
officers of Willamette chapter, Ameri-
can Red Cross win be held Friday at
Iternoon at 2 clock at the Commercial
club to plan for the coming Christmas
membership campaign. The call has
been made by Henry W. Meyers, recent
ilv reelected chairman of the executive
board. Although the campaign for Red
Cross members does not begin until
dee. l6 the invitation to auxiliary Of
ificers to attend the Friday afternoon
meeting has been made most urgent,
as it is felt that all auxiliaries should
begin at once to plan for TIE member
ship campaign.
II is the little things that count and
this is true in politics. Far instance,
the police matron appointments have
lcaused more grief to many an alder
man than the annual budget, or even
Handling the delinquent lien affairs Of
the city. About the time the average
alderman feels satisfied with his city
job, comes along the police matron
