Growers Hear
Experts Discuss
Loganberries

Two hundred berry growers OF
the Willamette valley attended
the second days session of the
berry growers conference being
held here in the auditorium of the
Masonic building today.
Sam Brown of Gervais, having
22O acres of berries under cultiva-
tion, delivered the principal talk
this morning.
From now on berries will be
paid for according to their quail
ity," said Mr.. Brown in urging
growers to consider quality of ber-
ries produced.
by pooling, growers have suf-
ficient quantity of berries to in
terest the buyer" continued Mr..
Brown. Stay with your organ
ization and it is sure to be a sue
cess"
The Oregon experiment station
has, during the last year, solved
the problem of controlling dieback
of loganberries, disease that has
cost the berry industry many thou
sands of dollars, according to Pro-
fessor H. P. Barss, who spoke on
the subject, recommending fall
training of vines for its control.
Frank B. Bill, manager of the
Sebastopol Berry Growers associa-
tion of California, was one of the
principal speakers this afternoon.
Tomorrow's session will deal
with raspberries and blackberries.
J. L. Stahl Of the Puyallup valley
will speak twice during the day
and it is expected that his talks
will be especially beneficial to
berry men.

PASSES
BUS BILL
Governors Veto of Jit-
ney Regulation Meas
ure Overridden- On
ly Four Votes Favor

With only five members opposed
the senate this morning passed the
Moser jitney bus regulation meas
ure Of the regular session over the
veto of the governor. Those vot-
ing to sustain the veto of the gov
ernor were Senators Hare, Jones,
Lachmund, Strayer and Thomas.
The Moser bill provides for the
regulation of all for-hire auto
mobiles, motor stages and trucks
engaged in freighting service un-
der the jurisdiction of the public
service commission. The bill gives
to the commission authority to
fix rates and running schedules
for stage and truck lines and no
such vehicle would be permitted to
operate without a permit from the
commission.
Deny a Monopoly.
Charges by the governor in his
veto that the bill would tend to
create a monopoly and bar small
operators from use of the public
highways were denied by Moser,
who pointed out that the way was
left open to all operators of mo-
tor vehicles for commercial tur-
poses who could show a cause for
their operation to the commission.
His bill, he insisted, represent
ed more careful thought and
greater study than did the bill
sponsored by the governors com
mittee and which is now before
the lower house.
Speaker Bean, he declared, had
assured him that his measure stood
a good chance Of favorable action
by the house if it met with the
of the senate.
Delay Refused.
Suggestions that action by the
senate be delayed until after the
house had acted upon the bill of
the governors committee were met
by Moser by pointing out that so
far all the important legislation
before the session was in the house
and that whereas the sentate thus
far had done little else than mark
time it would soon be swamped by
the big issues before the legisla-
.ure.

GAS TAX
HOPE OF
rs FAIR
Bills Turned Back to
House Without Ac-
tion by Committee
Property Tax Dead

AS the special legislative ses-
sion swings into the third day of
its uncertain course two conclus-
ions lift themselves out of the
mass of rumors and speculations
that have centered about the act
ivities of the lawmakers this far.
The first of these is that is any
state participation in the 1926
exposition is to grow out of this
session it must be paid by the au-
tomobile and truck owners in the
shape of a gasoline sales tax. The
proposed property tax is dead
issue.
The second conclusion is that
If any thing at all is done it must
be done quickly. The legislators
are straining at the bit and pre-
pairing to break away at the first
opportunity.
Sent Back to House
The first of these conclusions
is based upon the attitude of the
ways and means committee of the
house and senate sitting as leg
islative stearing committee Tues
day night. Following a session
lasting we'll past the midnight
hour the three house bills pro-
viding for the financing of the
fair and fourth proposed bill
drafted by the exposition commit
tee and involving the gasoline
sales tax. were dumped back into
the house hopper without recon-
mendations to be fought out on
the floor of that body. This act
ion, however, was not taken until
several of the members had ex-
their readiness to "go to
bat" on the three house bills then

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine,
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

The Flavor Lasts
AMUSED HIS NAVAL HOSTS
Reputation as a Man of Some
Eccentric Doings.

One of the new members of the
house of representatives, who is re-
garded as a somewhat eccentric per-
son, was a continual source of aston
ishment aboard a transport on her trip
TO the housekeeping experiments off
the Virginia capes. Examining an in
strument aboard the vessel, and being
informed it was range finder, he ,in-
quired how far it would shoot. Be
ing loaned a telescope to make a bet
ter examination of the battleship Iowa,
he looked through the big end instead
OF the little one and then complained
he could not see anything. He fol-
lowed this with a denunciation of a
naval policy which permitted the pur-
chase of such useless things.
But the thing that interested some
of his colleagues most was the fact
that he brought no baggage aboard, not
even a toothbrush, SO far as anybody
could find out.
"Why should l bring any baggage?"
he asked. Were only going to be gone

the autumn when
they wore such dashing. beautiful cos
tunes, and he loved them in the win
ter when the snow came and covered
them and made them look SO pretty.
OF course he liked the evergreens
and the trees that stayed the same.
In fact it was the truth that Peter
Gnome loved trees. There was some
thing about trees that was very
sociable.
He thought trees were friendly and
cheerful and that trees gave one such
nice feeling when they were all
about.
Nothing made Peter Gnome feel
cosier and happier than to perch him
self up in an old apple tree.
He loved the trees which could be
used as Xmas trees, and he even liked
little bits of trees which were plan
ming some day to be great enormous
trees.

the trees. And they all rustled and
whispered among themselves.
