last night when a resolution, pre-
sented at meeting Of the Salem
Central Trades & Labor council
for endorsement Of George A
White, was placed on file.
White, himself, spoke at the
meeting, discussing at some
length the danger to American la
Dor of Japanese invasion Of this
country, and the need of enacting
legislation to keep them out.
His statements met with quick
refutation, however, from differ

he had completed his campaign
talk.

today, do you find the federation

KUSER EXPLAINS
COTTAGE P| !!
TO CHURC' zen

Superintendent Kr s Of th'

dressed the ministers and theil
wives Monday noon at the Firs
Presbyterian church following {
very delightful luncheon served
by the ladies of the church. His
address was very informing re
garding the unfavorable condi
tions in the present plan for the
development of boys into good cit
izens. Mr.. Kuser is a very strong
advocate of an institution of the
cottage type for smaller boys OF
teen age and a reformatory fol
older boys and first offender Grim
inals now being sent to the penf-
tentiary. Other states handle II
in this way with remarkable sue
cess. Such an arrangement, MI
Kuser pointed out, would obviate
the necessity Of throwing all the
boys together as at present and
would send boys out better boys
than can possibly be done. He
stated that every boy sent out
from the institution that made
good was worth at least $4,000 te
the state of Oregon"
After hearing Mr.. Kuser and
questioning him closely the min
listers were heart and soul for the
speedy accomplishment of the cot
take plan.
Since the association is to con
tinue its regular meetings through
the month of May, it was decided
best, due to lateness Of the hour
to postpone the election of Officers
till next meeting.
At the meeting next Monday
morning the Russian famine con
dition will be presented by Super
intendent Wedel of the Deaconesf

F ARM WORK IN
OREGON DELAYED
BY LATE SPRING

Portland, Or, April 26.-Farm
work in Oregon has been greatly
delayed by backward spring, ac-
cording to the first weekly crop
report of the year, issued by the
weather bureau here today.
For about five months the tenn
perature has been persistently be-
low normal, says the report. Wet
soil has seriously delayed farm
work and in the eleyted districts
some farm land is still under
snow Continued low temperature
has retarded the growth of vege-
tation. This week, however, has
been the most favorable of the
season with moderately warm
days, cool nights, little rainfall,
drying winds and considerable
sunshine. AS a result Of these
conditions farm work became pos
sible over most of the state, and
vegetation began to advance more
rapidly, Roads are improving bul
are still rough and the higher
levels are obstructed by snow.
A. considerable acreage Of win
ter wheat and oats in western
counties was winter-killed. Fruit
trees and bushes wintered we'll.
Alfalfa, clover and timothy are
very backward and need more
warm weather. Pasturage is i'm
proving, but feed on the range is
still inadequate.

!. While the remainder OF the city
remained virtually unprotected
against fire, members OF the Sa-

of the state hospital for the In
sane-handicapped by a lack of
aerial ladders-today fought as
best they could blaze which
broke out shortly before noon at
the hospital nurses home and
which caused damage estimated
at $4,000.
No one was injured in the fire
which is believed to have been the
result of defective wiring. 1t was
an hour after the conflagration
broke out before fighters had 1t
under control.
City's Protection Inadequate.
In the meantime the entire busi-
ness and residential district of Sa-
lem had for its protection a CO.
gallon chemical truck and about
1000 feet of hose.
The fire, which broke out about
1880 o'clock, was discovered by
hospital employees who, from the
main building across Center street
saw smoke rising from the third
story Of the nurses home. AT the
same time a dozen nurses, both
men and women sk the night shift,
awoke to find the rooms In which
they had been sleeping filled with
sitting smoke. Clad only In sleep
ing raiment they filed outside and
sought shelter in other buildings.
Firemen Climb Trees.
Many members of the large
crowd which watched the building
burn expressed surprise that Sa-
LENS fire fighting apparatus
should be so inadequate. Possess,
ing no ladders which would bring
them within fighting distance Of
the blaze, the firemen climbed
trees nearby and allowed the wat
er to play from a distance. Other
lines of hose were carried to the
third floor and roof from the in
side Of the building.
This is merely a fair example
of what the Salem fire department
must cope with In an emergency, !"
one city official said. other mem
bers of the crowd expressed them
selves similarly.
Built 35 Years Ago.
No insurance was carried on
the building and officials were to-
day unable to say what steps will
be taken to rebuild 1t. The
nurses home, which was original
ly the local orphans home, later
was the Salems hospital. 1t was
erected about So years ago.
Four lines OF hose were used ON
the blaze-two from the city and
two from the states fire hydrants.
