AERIAL MAIL TO BE
DELIVERED HERE

The first aerial mail is expected here
Monday, when letters to business con.
Germs, announcing Buyers Week. to be
held August 9-l4, inclusive, will be
brought here from the Portland Cham.
ber of Commerce. The mail bag will
be carried aboard a machine of the Or.
egon. Washington Il Idaho Aeroplane
| Co., en- route to The DaIles. The mail.
it is said. will be dropped from NOV.
| ing plane, as Hood River has no suit.
able landing field. According to a
tentative schedule just announced the
| mail plane will arrive about 8 o'clock.
Postmaster Reavis will have a spe-
cial messenger awaiting the mail bag
and the letters, although Monday is a
holiday, will be worked out and deliv-
cred formally but with unusual dis
patch.
The plan is expected to be thorough
test of the proposition which has been
advanced that regular mail service
from Portland to the cities of the state
be inaugurated under governmental
auspices. Already several Oregon cit =
les have arranged to prepare suitable
landing fields for the mail aeroplanes.
The idea will be enlarged upon from
time to time, but the present plan calls
for service from San Francisco Sac
ramento and other California cities to
the cities OF. southern Oregon and the
Willamette valley to Portland. where
the mail will again be distributed for
Oregon coast points, eastern and CEN
trail Oregon, and for the Puget Sound
region.
The use of aeroplanes or the distribu-
tlon of the invitations to the merchants
of the state to participate in Buyers
Week, simply will be test of the gem
eral plan. Buyers Week, as conducted
in Portland, is now nationally recog-
niZed institution. The plan to concen-
trate the buyers of the Pacific coast in
Portland during the week of August g.
Ia was begun eight years ago. 1t has
proved to be an economical method of
buying for the merchants of the Pacific
coast, and each year has grown so that
this year it is expected that at least
1902 Portland jobbers and manufactur-
ers will act as hosts to their guests.
Buyers Week is not entirely busi-
ness proposition. The buyers and the
jobbers meet on social grounds. They
become personally acquainted; the
problems Of manufacturing and mar
keting are discussed to the mutual ad
vantage of the seller and the merchant
and as result many of the problems
of building up bigger and better Pa
citic Coast are nearing solution.
During Bnyers' Week many forms of
entertainment are provided This year
there will be high jinks for the men,
theat parties for the ladies', lunches,
excursions to various sections of the
city, sightseeing trips to points of in
terest about Portland, the entertain
ment program concluding with ban.
duet in honor of the visitors.

BURGLARS LOOT THE
YASUI BROS STORE

Burglars made a heavy haul Sunday
night at the store of Yasui Bros.
which was entered through a basement
door. A hole was sawed through the
door. The loot consisted of jewelry,
watches, handbags and cutlery. An in
ventOry of the stuff missing brings its
value to more than 81 500.
The burglars iimmied a small safe,
used for storing valuable papers, but
were unable to effect an entrance to a
large safe in which heavy amount of
currency and silver was kept. 1t is
believed that the work was done by
amateurs who have been hanging
around the city for some time. Nj
Yasui states that about week ago he
heard asnoise at a rear window of the
store and that on opening a dOorfhe
heard noise as one fleeing from the
backyard.
I Suspicion attaches TO- two men who
had been working at the Yasui berry
fields The men first applied at the
store and endeavored to pawn a watch
While the stoTekeepers informed, them
that they were not in such business. a
sum of money was advanced the men
with the understanding that they were
TO help in the berry harvest and repay
it. The watch was left as security. A
slip. bearing the name of one of the
men, Frank Fisher, was made out on
an ordinary shipping tag. This tag,
crumpled up. was found in the store
Monday morning. AL Price is the other
mans name.
Kenneth Hicks saw two men hang
ing around the YasAi store, in the
shadows, until a late hour Sunday
night. He describes one as being Of
medium height, while the other was
small man. Both seemed about 25
years old. The description tsllies with
that Of the berry pickers.
Unable 10 get service over long dis
tance telephone wires, Sheriff johnson
visited Portland Tuesday. He fully
informed POI tland officials Of the men
suspected Of the burglary and gave a
description Of the loot taken by them.

CORPS TELLS HOW
TO DISPLAY FLAG

The Fourth Of July being so near
when many Flags will be displayed, it
was thought appropriate by Candy w.

the rules regulating the use Of our na

should never be used in any way as q
utility, as for instance TO cover table,
curtain, door, or even thrown over

County Agent Notes

The biggest problem confronting corn
farmers Is the recent corn root rot
This disease is quite new in, Marylan
and estimates show at least decrease
yield in corn. Reports indicate TWO
methods in which the disease NAV oc
cur: First, an Infected soil. Second.
transmission thru infected seed, or seed
that has been grown on infected soil.
1t is quite impossible for the amateur
to identify cob corn bearing rot, and
for thai reason alone, wise farmers will
make field selection for seed corn.
This may he Qone by marking the stalk
you wish to save seed from with piece
of string or rag, just b fore corn cut
lug when the husk.begins To turn brown.
Try -1 select strOAg vigorous stalks
that D"a ears 1Ot over feet from the
soil with well developed tops. The
ears snould be large for the stalks,
covered with musk ani hang at an angle
sufficient to drain water out of the
musk. Remember good seed is the Sc
cret OF a good crop.
Tobacco seed plIutS should be as free
as possible from all diseases. Mosaic.
Freach, sand drown, blight and rectan-
gular Leaf spot are some diseases As
yet it is quite impos sble to advise jut
which diseases may be transmitted thru
seed. Play safe and select as near as
you Can disease free seed plants. Do
not fail to have the County gent clea n

You are resting in peace dear husband;
