ly. In a few instances wild berry
pickers have been offered IN
cents. In the cultivated fields the
established picking price is l "
cents.
Only small part of the pear
pack of the local plants will be
home grown, most of the fruit be-
ing shipped In from southern Ore
gon and the Yakima territory.
Some pears from Sunnyside,
Wash, have already arrived but
canning of this fruit will not com
merce on any scale until next
week.
Hampered by Strike.
This year the packers have a
factor to contend with which is
foreign to the usual worries in
connection with the pear pacR-
the railroad strike. With threats
of an embargo on all perishable
shipments being voiced by the
railroads as the strike situation
grows more serious, the cannery-
men are bowling for immediate
delivery of the fruit and praying
for more favorable ripening
weather to make the pears avail
able for shipment at once.
Most of the pears purchased by
the canneries brought the growers
an average of $50 a ton, but the
price for the green fruit Is far be-
low that figure at present due te
the strike situation and the stag
nation of the eastern market. One
buyer declared yesterday that he
could now buy pears as 10y as $S0|
per ton in the south.
That the canneries will pack
little fruit in excess of the orders
actually on hand is one point up
on which they are all agreed.
They report no activity on the
part of eastern buyers at present
and q reluctance on the part OF
those who have already placed or
ders to accept delivery at this
time. Until railroad strike condi-
tions are ironed out and the mar
ket for canned goods shows more
activity the buyers are content to
let their orders stand in the can
merry warehouses.
Peak Is Next Week.
The latter part of next week |
will see the canneries running full
blast with their peak load of en-
ployes for the season. The Ore
gen Packing company expects to
have $50 people at work by Tues
day. Tomorrow they will start
work on blackberries and enter
onto pears as soon as they arrive,
All OF the pears handled by the
Starr Fruit Products company |
will go through the Portland
plant, but the local cannery will
carry force OF from 10 to 100 |
employees on the blackberry pack,
on which they are already en-
gagged.

TRIBUTE TO THOMAS G. DAv-
IDSON
By Judge Peter H. D'Arcy


Thomas @. Davidson, who passed
from this life on the 9th day of
August, was parsonage of more
than ordinary intelligence. While
quiet in demeanor he was of strong
intellectual qualities. Having been
associated with him in different
walks of life, knew him to be one
in whom the utmost confidence
could be placed. He was my boy
hood friend. He was born on a
farm near Salem in 1855, being at
the time of his death 67 years of
age. He lived in this city and vi
cinity nearly all his life. He was
a pioneer. Belonged to pioneer
family who came to Oregon in ls47.
While we mourn the death of a
friend, we find comfort in the
thought that in such men as Mr..
Davidson little is taken away by
his death. His spirit and his char
acter life after he has passed in
the mind of his friends and ac-
quaintances. People like him never
die. They live by their example, by
the influence that sheds its light
to guide the way for the young in
our midst who must see the splendid
characters of the good men and wo-
men of our community. Mr.. David
sons cordial manner and the milk
of human kindness that filled him
with good feeling for poor, weak
were some of his chief
characteristics. 1t is not the length |
Of mans friendship that gives it |
value, but rather the impression ii |
makes and the good which comes
IF it. He lived the best of all lives.
That of kindly treatment toward |
those with whom he was associated. |
He lived much because he loved |
much. He loved the beautiful in
nature; he loved the birds, the |
trees, and flowers. The grandeur of |
the universe and its magnificence ap |
1ealed to him. He was worthy |

STAYTON TO SECURE ;
NEW POWER STATION

Stayton, Or, Aug. 16.-Accord-
ing to latest reports, c. E. Taylor,
who formerly owned and operated
the Stayton Light & Power com
pany, has purchased power site
on the old Jim Davie donation
land claim, between Stayton and
Aumsville and will begin erec-
tion of a power station at once.
Many years ago Davie had saw
mill on his donation land claim
and the old mill ditch is still in
good shape. Mr.. Taylor plans to
divert water from the Salem ditch
through the old mill ditch and
back again into the Salem ditch.
He already has the franchise for
furnishing the town of Sublimity
with light and power and it is
quite likely that farmers in the vi
cinity will also avail themselves
of the privilege of electricity.

ILLINOIS
COAL MINERS TO
RETURN TO WORK

Benton. ILL.,, Aug. 16.-(By AS
sociated Press) Sixty thousand
bituminous coal miners of south
ern Illinois today were gathering
together their tools and preparing
to enter the pits. which have
been idle since the nation wide
strike became effective April /,
in expectation of the ending Of
the strike in Illinois by the sign
ing of an agreement between Illi-
nois operators and miners at a
conference scheduled to be held in
Chicago Friday.
Although most of the striking
miners are jubilant at the pros
pect of returning to work, the
prevalent opinion is that they
would prefer agreement with the
operators instead of individual
and separate agreements.
The men are reported to have
been suffering from lack of funds
due to four and a half months of
idleness.
Renewed activity in putting
the mines In condition for re-
sumption OF work is reported
from the entire district.

5000 ACRES IN MELONS

Hope, Ark, April 29.--A survey of the truck industry in Hampstead county, just completed by County Demonstration Agent W. Homer Pigg. indicates that there are approximately 5000 acres planted to eantaloupes in this county, the acreage being distrib- uted as follows: Hope, 30 Arcadia. 150; Deaneyyille 225; Dunlap, 200 Blevins 400 Dodson, 300; MeCaskel, 250: Belton, 250; Woods0nyille' 75 ]; Tokio, 100 Washington, 150; Patmos, 6O Emmet, 15O and Ozan, 100.
 This shows a slight decrease in acreage, as compared with that of 1921. During the year 1921 there were 535 ears of cantaloupes shipped, making Hampstead county the lead ing cantaloupe producing county in the state.
 Considerable acreage will be planted to watermelons, green beans, cueum- bers and cabbage. Approximately 70 ears of radishes were shipped from this county during the season now closing, the heaviest shipments being from Blevins and Dunlap. Shipments equivalent to 10 cars were moved from IonA

TT has been shown by the investiga-
tions conducted by scientific ex-
peditions to the Pacific islands that
there is a slow elevation going on
there, which. by lifting the reefs
gradually above the waves. preserves
them from erosion at the top and en-
ables vegetation and certain animal
forms Of a terrestrial character to
exist there.
This is in opposition to the old idea
that the atolls were formed by the
gradual subsidence OF small islands
and that the coral insects built up
encircling reefs as the islands sank.
Recent reports show that the ele-
vation of the islands is a general
phenomenon. but variable in amount.

very slowly.
