SEND BUTTER TO SALEM
Geo. W. Weeks, superintendent of the
dairy exhib-t at the Salem state fair, is
visiting his son, W. W. Weeks in this city

creameries in Eastern Oregon as some
other sections he is working hard to have
Eastern farmers and dairymen represent
ed by a splendid exhibit, Mr. Weeks
says that there will be a milking machine
in operation at the fair grounks, which
will give practicle illustrations in mech
anical milking.
CASEY STILl AT IT
'Box Car Casey" too well known in
the halls of policedom to need any in
troduction, was rouiided up for what is
to be hoped, the last time, by acting chief
of Police Faulk this morning. Casey had
stolen a pair of overalls and a pair of
second hand shoes, the latter beinz
converted thirty five cents. Casey has
been the limit, and the city authorities
are going to make every effort to remove
him from the city for at least a period
of two years, if the warden down at
Salem is equal to the task of keeping him
there. The acting chief had a lively time
early this morning with the gentleman of
box car profficfency and it was only
after several smart raps on the "Cocanut
had been administered that he saw fit
to be lead quietly.
