Linn, vlce-presldant. i A. F .Hofer, secretary. D. J. Fry, treasurer. B P. McCornack, Chas. L. Dick, A. Bush, Jr., H. O White, Rollin K. Page, executive board. Mr. Albert's election was made unanimous on motion of Mr. D'Arcy, amid great enthusiasm. The balance of the nominations were made by acclimation. Mr. Buren's address on retiring as president eulogized his associates on the official board. He alsj thanked the members for their harmonious upport. All the civic bodies and the city council and the city court had Worked In a hearty manner to promote the growth of the city. Salem has had seveTal progressive mayors. The lm poved street car system and the bet ter lighting system were largely the result of the public-spirited policies of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. He reviewed the work of the Automobile club, and even thanked the press for Its work. The construction of the Marlon hotel had been a great advantage to the city, bringing many people here, and en abling them to secure splendid en tertainment He also thanked the governor and staet officials and heads of stats Institutions for their splen did co-operation. He wished to thank the Salem band for supplying free music. The railroad companies, the mlnfsotrlal association, ' Willamette "University, the woman's club, the As sembly dancing club, the Business Men's league, all were handed bou quets. He recommonded larger quar ters for the Board of Trade. The city had outgrown the present accommo dations. ((Applause). Jos H. Albert was called on for a speech on taking the chair. He waa greeted with appltiuse, and heartily thanked, his supporters and his pppo nents for making his election unln lmoufl. He favored the acquiring of headquarters with the Illttiee club. We should take guests of the city Into our best parlors and show them our best rooms and he hoped the 1111 hee club could be bought and thrown open to this Board of Trade. He thought there had been enough of spending money advertising in the East Let us spend more in making improvements here at home, and put our money into boulevards and per manent home for the Board of Trade. (Great applause). Mr. F. G. Deckebach moved that the Board of Trade tender Its good offices and co-oparate heartily with the Illlhee club In Its efforts to pur chase the Elks' building. Carried. Mr. Chas. L- Dick made an enthu siastic speech of acceptance as one of the new board of trustees. He spoke of the high value of orchard tractB and prunes selling at 10 cents a pound In 25-pound boxes. He then proceeded to make one of the best booster speeches ever made in Salem, R. K. Page surprised and pleased all present by making a brief but enthusiastic speech. He thought there; ought to be a great many more Dicks In town. "I'm making about as good a rec ord as Mr. Page is," said Mr. Dick, amid great laughter. Mr. A. A. Lee moved a vote of thanks to the retiring hoard of trus tees and the continuing officers. Carried. Wm. Brown spoke for the consol idation of the Board, of Trade and Illlhee club. They should have one home. Mr. Henry Meyers said If the Board of Trade could be amalgam ated with the Illlhee club, and take over the property. It would make It possible to erect a $100,000 Elks' temple. A. C. Bohnstedt was introduced as a man who had brought a great deal of foreign money. He spoke of cer tain elements who depreciated prices at which lands were being offered for sale. It was hard to close deals as long as a large element of buslntss men were outside this organization. There was no cordial welcome of the stranger. Newcomers must be made rnore welcome in your homes. Make your hospitality felt by the newcomers. Judge D'Arcy made a splendid plea for his Idea of a consolidated Illlhee commercial club. He would combine the Board of Trade and . Buslntss Men's League and Illlhee club In one grand booster organization. President Albert surprised all by declaring himself a Convert to high taxes. He had been a klckeir on high taxes in the past, but now saw the error of ways, and had, become the most enthusiastic booster of all. We could not have all the blessings of the modern community and not pay high taxesv IIISTAIIT RELIEF FOR COLDS AND CATARRH In order to cure a cold In the head before It reaches the lungs, nothing more Is needed than simply to cleanse the affected, canals of the nose and head. This can be done easily and effeo tually by inhalation of a mild and soothing disinfectant. ,- We have had a good deal to do with different kinds of Inhalants and we have seen nothing which seems to do the work of cleansing the naBal tract so quickly and so .thoroughly as Mentholyptus.

ALL HOPE FOR BURIED MINERS IS ABANDONED THE MOST RELIABLE ACCOUNTS SHOW THAT THERE ARE 50 STILL IN THE MINE 61 BOD IES HAVE BEEN RECOVERED. chit-id rxiss LSASID wiiu.l Briceville( Tenn., Dec. 14. Mes sages scrawled on the walls of com partments of the Cross Mountain mine, where Saturday an' explosion entombed more than 100 men, en couraged ' rescuers today . to renewed efforts in the hope of finding more men alive. The messages evidently were writ ten by a party of men. When driven out of one place by gas, they would write, indicating where they were going. After the trail was followed through several entries it was lost, and hope of finding more men alive again was abandoned. Up to mid night 38 bodies had been found, but five of theee are still In the mine. The position of the seven - bodies discovered today showed they died from black damp. Fire broke out anew late last night In cross entry No- 17, about 1500 feet from the main entry. It was In the coal this time, and was extin guished. The families of the ohter entombed miners have given up all hope of life for the 60 men still missing. Before writing the last message the five miners divided the last crumb of food left. ' Then Miller crawled to the wall, and, as he was dying, scribbled the words that told graphically of the fortitude with which the unfortunate miners met their fate. Sixty-one corpses have been recov ered up to noon today. Five fires are still raging In the mine, and this adds to the danger and difficulty the 25 helmeted Ilfesavers are encoun, terlng in their search through the 20 miles of workings. The families of the other entombed longer crowd about the mouth of the pit, hoping against hope that the missing members of their families will be brought to the surface alive. The women and children have re turned to their desolate homes, heart broken and helpless. But there is a certain stoic bravery on the part of the af 11c ted that only adds to the pathos. Death has placed its hand on every little cottage, crepe hang ing from every other door today, and Blleot processions pass through the streets bearing burdens to the HttW grave yard. And! the dead continue to . be brought from the depths of the mine. o X-RAYS AND SMILES. The dynamiting idea seems to have been pretty wide spread. The latest Is a confession by Private Martin yuirK or tne sixth Field Artillery who says he dynamited a government stable June 4, killing 27 cavalry horses, and also dynamited the wa ter mains at the rost, and that he was induced to do the work by Rev Mr. Brewer, at one time chaplain of the post. Brewer has been arrested Mrs. Agnes Taylor Smith, aged 90 years died at Salt Lake Wednesday. She was the moth of 11 children, grandmother of 68, and great-grand mother of 145. She was also a mother-in-law of Joseph F. Smith and a member of "The Latter-day Saints of Jesus Christ , commonly known as Mormons. A dispatch from Washington this morning conveys the startling asser tion that the "Rum Demon" has been bitterly assailed. This isn't new to the "Demon" who seems to survive all right Eugene E. SchmlU, ex-mayor of San Francisco, indicted four years ago for grafting, has been ordered to appear for trial. This seems foolish tor Schmltz is getting well ud in years, and If the state would wait awhile, death would save the expense of a trial. A Baker City woman Tuesday night found a man under her bed. This should encourage the dear woman to keep up the habit of their maternal an cestors, ever since Mie first one got her hubby to build some kind of a rig so she didn't iave to sleep on the ground. a a Evangelist Vlolett, who acted as city editor of the Statesman last night, has a front page line: "Be sure your sin will find you out" Whether this la a personal confession of Mr. Vlolett, induced by contact with a newspaper, or a statement of what has happened to the Statesman from his taking charge of it well, It's up to you to do the guessing. o When you have abllious attack give Chamberlain's Tablets a trial.
