We have had delightful weather this
week, while the middle west is wrestling
with a blizzard, and zero weather we are
pulling off coats in order to be comfortable.
The track men are training faithfully
and it will take good men to win a place
for the fifty mile relay run this year,
between Salem and Portland. It looks
now as if there will be four teams com
peting for the honors. The day set for
this year's run is Saturday, May 2.
