Street cars op erating at short Intervals and a steady line of automobiles carried the crowds to the Interest center of Oregon, and by noon mobs were swarming through the various build ings on the grounds.

Much Interest is maitffested in the auto show where 12G different makes of cars are exhibited. Last year, when only 70 different typPs were displayed, the show was called one of the best ever offered in Oregon, and Ibis season's spectntoritim, un fler the management of fleorge E. Halvorsen and Lee (lilliert, of Sa lem, is by far more attractive. At mid day crowds in the Salem business district went startled by nil aerial bombardment that lasted fifteen minutes and demonstrated 'hat the American Legion "Hattle of the Argonne" committee have a su perior variety of fireworks at their command. The bomb's and torpedoes were fired from the roof of the I.'. S. Na tional hank building.

ATTKM1T MADE To HOIl MLI ON PATCH Several men, presumably belong ing to the section gang, last night attempted a "watermelon steal." the victim being the large and well filled melon patch belonging to the Rice brothers south of Dlllard. The man in charge of the patch resented the invasion and started to "show them out" rather forcibly. Four of the invaders then left, but the fifth showed fight, and fur a time an in teresting exhibition of pugilistic work afforded entertainment for all who passed. After several cars had lined up along the road, a sufficient force was gathered to advance and separate the antagonisits, which from all reports was no easy matter. It is said 'he would-be melon stealer threatened to return aa he left the scene of action. Chicago Team Lays Idle Today ilr AHftorlMtrd Vrrmn. ClllCAdO, SorH. 28.

The tlmhermen, however, appeared in force and considerable time was taken in hearing the objections brought forward. In practically every case the owners protested on the grounds that timber Is practi cally unsaleable and has but little value on the market. This, It was contended, should be taken Into con sideration In making the assessment and the honrd was urged to reduce tbe valuation placed on the timber holdings. Over fifty companies were repre sented by members of the companies or by attorneys or employed repre sentatives, while a number of Indi vidual owners made personal appear ance.
