GAMBLING IS ' RAMPANT ON OCEAN LINERS BIG CROWD OF THE SMART SET OF TWO CONTINENTS SPEND HOURS AT THE FAX TAX TA 1ILES OPENLY. RUX BY THE BIG STEAMSHIPS. San Francisco, July 24. Men and women of the exclusive smart set of two continents crowding about fan tan tables operated by slant-eyed Ce lestials on board the Pacific Mall liner Korea during the entire voyage from the Orient to San Francisco were the conditions that obtained on shipboard night and day during the entire trip according to depositions by prominent passengers filed here today with Uni ted States District Attorney John I McNab. Chinese members of the crew oper ated from eight to ten fan tan tables oti the main deck, among the first class passengers and In full view of the promenade deck at all hours of the night and day, states the deposi tions, Women high in social circles rnd men whose names are known riound the world crushed about the Chinese gamblers for a chance to play. . The patronage of the tables Is said to have been almost exclusively from the first cabin passengers. Thousands of dollars changed hands, and fre quently the bejeweled fingers of the social leaders touched the greedy palms of the Chinese who manipulated the cards. When mesh purses were drained, borrowing nnd exchanging of I. 0. U's were resorted to. The scene was a mlnlnture Monte Carlo, accord ing to those who watched play. According to the depositions of pas sengers, the Chinese members of the crew, who were not hindered by the ship's officers, are paid a wage of $7 per month by the Pacific Mail com pnny, and passengers making the de positions declare their belief that the officials of the company make no ap parent attempt to prevent the poorly paid crewsmcn from swelling their Income over the gaming tables. A score of passengers, according to United States District Attorney Mc Nab, drew up resolutions of protest against what they termed the dis graceful conditions . that obtained aboard, and as soon as the Korea bad (Centlnnea on-pus Br.)

Weather permitting, the official test of the E. M. Walte memorial fountain, which .Is being erected In the center ot Wilson park, will be given tomor row evening at 8:30. .Mr W. H. Darl ington, the designer and builder of this fountain, has been working hard and diligently for the last few days so as to have everything in readiness for the official test, and unless some unforeseen obstacle arises it will be made as stated. Electricians are at work today making the connection with the main wires of the light com pany and the few remaining touches are being made by Mr. Darlington and his force of workmen. The success of this undertaking Is due largely to the efforts of C. L. Mc Nnry, who has labored hard and zeal ously for the past two years to Induce the city council to Install this par ticular kind ot a fountain. His ef forts n this behalf have at last borne results and every citizen of Sulem Is proud of the product.- This fountain, which Ib the finest on the coast, has been erected at a cost of aproxlmately $7,000, about $700 of which was borne by the Salem Light and Power company. The franchise to the water company Is such that it agrees to supply water for two fountains for Wilson park, and on account of the large amount of water neceusary for the successful op eration of the fountain, the company has Installed, at Its own expense, an electric centrifugal pump under the fountain, so that the same water may be used "over and over again. Fresh water will also be supplied through a 2-Inch pipe, so as to keep the water "rom becoming stagnant. . It Is necessary to provide an opera tor to run the fountain and keep It In good working order, and for this pur pose the services of Mr. Homer Marsh, who has been an operator In the light plant here for over six years, has been secured. The cost of operating the fountain will fall on the city, while the water company will operate the pump. HA USER TEAM WOX SCORE S TO 0 The baseball game last night on Willamette field between the llauser Bros.' and Theatre men's teams was one ot the most hotly contested games so far this season of the Twilight league. Hausers' team won by a score of 3 to 0. On account of the previous high standing of both teams, the game attracted more attention than any of the former ones. McDcvitt, for the Theatre men, pitched a good game, but his support was weak, many errors being made by his supporters. Fox and Hagedorn, the battery for the llauser team, proved to be too strong for their opponents. The Merchants and Y. M. C. A", will mix this evening, weather permitting, for a game, upon the outcome of which will depend, to a considerable extent, the championship of the league . Cool nnd Deliberate.

Gary then end- ed his own life with a bullet through the heart. ' JEW PUMP STARTED TUESDAY Water' Company's New Pump Started Yesterday, Adding 2,500,000 to City's Daily Water Supply. 350 GALLONS PER CAPITA U Now Furnished, and This on a Hnsls of 0,000 Population Combined Pumps Now Send 7,000,000 Gallons Through the Pipes Dully, Provided the Demand Is Made fur It Eiioiiu'i for City of 7J,000. Salem's temporary water troubles, due to installing a new pump, and the consequent disturbing of the old ones while connections were being made, are all over. Tuesday morning, about 11 o'clock, everything was pronounced In readiness for starting the new pump, and the juice was turned on from the big wires furnishing power for the Oregon Electric, 2300 yolts. The pump started smoothly and ran without a hitch. The pressure on the mains jumped up to 95 pounds, and It was but a short time until the results were felt to the very ends of the sys tem. It was no doubt a surprise to many in the suburbs, where there has been recently a scarcity of water, to see the stream shoot out of the hose when Irrigation began last night; a surprise that was of the pleasurable kind. The new pump has a capacity of 2,500,000 gallons In 24 hours, rais ing It to a height of 230 feet. This Is slightly more than 100,000 gallons an hour, and, with the old pumps work ing, the total Is 7,000,000 gallons in 24 hours, or nearly 300,000 gallons per hour. Estimating Salem's population at 20,000, the Salem plant can now fur nish 350 gallons of water to every man, woman and child In the city, and this is surely a generous supply. The pump has run smoothly ever since starting, and no further trouble Is anticipated, all of which Is pleasing to all Salemltes, and doubly so to the management of the water company. 41 RV WAVE WOMAN r(l,000 SUED FOB UN1THD P11EH8 LBAHRP Willi.

A special dispatch to the Eugene Register from Marshflold, via Gardi ner, says that great things are in store for that section through the plans of G. X. Wendllng at Reedsport, which call for construction that will ei,ual any milling Industry on the Pacific coast. Mr. Wendllng has pur chased the townslte of Reedsport where there Is deep water and plenty of room for large buildings and with convenient water rights. According to the information sup piled the mill to be erected will be of a capacity of at least 500,000 feet per day, and It is supposed there would be a number of Bide plants for taking care of waste lumber. It Is not Im probable that a pulp mill would be one of the Industries that would be added to Mr. Wendllng's large hold' Ings and Improvements. There are groat quantities of spruce timber at &nd near Reedsport, and Mr. Wend llng has purchased much timber In that vicinity during the past year. All the Sluslaw timber would bo manu factured at ReedsKrt, and it Is sup posed a large fleet of vessels would be required to carry tho output to the world. The commencement of work has not been announced as yet, but It Is prac tically certain that It would (be com menced soon, as the rallrlond from Eugene Is supposed to be completed within two yenrs and the mills should be ready for operation when the rail road Is ready to receive and haul the lumber. It Is from parties who are well ac quainted with circumstances of the Reedsport district thnt a water system would be established during the other improvements and the water would be laken from the hikes near tho coast. Mr. Reed, It is supposed, has passed his water rights at Kiln a Iake to Mr. Wendllng and his associates, as this supply has been held by Mr. Reed for a pulp, manufactory. Tho country at Reedsport furnishes an Ideal mill site of level land, and It is on the Wlllnm-ette-PBclflc railroad surveys. The op eration of a milling business thore, will, however, require the dredging of the channel to tho main channel of the river since the connection at piesent is not tho best. It could not be learned how much dredging would be required, but it is said from a statement of Mr. Reod some time ago, vuTk can be done in a few months.

GRANT, OF THE STUDEBAKEH COMPANY, OF PORTLAND, TAKES A FLANDERS 20" ON PATH FIND ING THIP OX THE COAST. J. D, Grant, of the Studebaker com pany, of Portland, has been out the last week In the famous Plunders "20" on a pathflndlng trip through the coast country. Mr. Grant left Port land last Wednesday, coining to Sa lem, from here he went to Corvullls, then through lllodgett and Kddyvllle to Newport. This part of the rond Mr. Grant says Is In good shape. From Newport he started along the coast north, passing Yaqulna Head light,, Ottor Rock and Rock Creek to Slletz Bay. This road, he Buys, is practical ly Impossible for anything but a man on horseback or on foot. On the trip from Newport to' SHetz, Mr. Grant says, they forded a dozen streams, drove up a stream, built a bridge and cut down half a dozen big trees. In fact, they passed obslucles which, to hear hlni tell about seemed Impossible At one time all four wheels would be In the mud over tho hubs, while at other times the machine would be stuck on a ridge in the road with all four wheels off the ground. Some of the grades were so heavy that they had to hack the machine for over a mile up grades, as steep In Borne places as 4.r per cent. In spite of this, every foot of the trip was made under the mo tor's own power. The hood was never raised and the engine was not touched or any other part of the car for me- chanlcnl trouble In the whole trip. Mr. Grant says that the scenic beau ty of the country from Newport north to Slletz cannot he described, and that if a good wagon' road ran along the const. Instead of a ratio trail, thou-1 Mauds of people would make the trip evry summer, and that it would do more to develop the coast country than anything the people In that section could do. Mr. Grant loft Salem for Portland today. S DOES WOOSIU heavy rain storm In the district has Impaired the telephone and telegraph service, and details are unavailable. Fourteen Drowned.

Wires to Evans station are down, and It is difficult to confirm the rumors afloat. VOICE IS SWEETEST OF ANY IX THE 'WORLD DN1TBP PRRRR I.KA8RD WIBS.l San Francisco, July 24.
