Keno,' Athlete, hHot After WUhelm der Kaiser Roy Keene, one of Salem's soldier boys, well known In athletic circles here as "Keno." wrote a card to hl3 cousin. Miss Nancy Skaife, of this city, while crossing the Atlantic on the transport. The card was evi dently transferred at sea to a boat coming west, and it was mailed la Washington. Following is what "Keno" wrote on Sthe card: i "Received your letter the morn ing we left and between the rolling of the boat over the deep blue I will drop this line. "My side has not troubled me any more and if I keep in the condition that I am in right now I feel'&a though I could lick about a dozen of them things! "It is this way' with me: I always did my best In a. ball game of any kind, and It paid me; so why not do my best here? "I know of many a baseball game that I would have lost if I had- not exerted myself to the limit. "I figure that all the spirit that I have is all for one end now, and. believe-me, I am going to do my share. I can feel myself getting more sav age every day."

MEAT INSPECTOR IS SALEM NEED DEALERS THINK Shipping Inident Show Lo cal Men Suffer by Port land Methods DISCRIMINATION SHOWN Official Located in Salem Would Be Profection to Local Business By W. C. COWGILL. A careful survey of the meat situ ation in Salem at the present junc ture., with the government calling for the saving of every ounce of fat, crumb of bread and spoonful of sugar, reveals a somewhat startling array of facts, which, if even partly true,' would call for government in terference at once. If the small dealer in dressed meats is to be frozen out by the big concerns of Portland, Salem must awake and get busy. The point I am making in this story is that the local inspectors of meats in Portland have been -recently known to pass a carcass of veal sent by express from Salem to Portland which had been previously offered to two different butcher shops in Salem, and refused because of its be ing too rotten for the local market. But when it got to Portland it passed, and somebody got it for the cheaper trade . of the metropolis. I was told that just a day or two after that the same express company was offered for shipment to Portland a carcass of veal and it remained on the sidewalk in front of the office for a short time, where all could see it. A man called the attention of the agent to the fact that it was a hide filled with bones only -no meat to speak of on the bones and called on Dr: Lytle, the state veterinarian, who coincided in the opinion that it was not fit to send to. Portland for food, although he said that it was in a sweet condition from a sanitary point of view. The skin and hides went to Portland on the next train. Not so very lona a time before these two shipments were made-. Manager . Andresen of- the Farmers' Produce company shipped a dressed hog to Portland which, to all appear ance here; was .in a perfectly clean and ' sanitary condition, but it in spected in Portland as having tuber culosis in the head, and when Mr. Andresen called on the Inspector aft erwards for an explanation, the in spector told him that be should have severed the glands in the neck of the hog to prevent the spread of the disease to the body, but absolutely forbade Mr. Andresen doing that for himself when he might suspect a hog to be in that condition, explaining at the same time how to detect tuber culosis in any hog. The result was And resell lost the sale of the condemned hog In Port land, shipped there to get the benefit of a higher market than he had In Salem. 5 a These are only three out of many Cases that might be cited, but are sufficient to prove the fact that an inspector of meats is an official much needed in Salem today. The Marion Creamery company formerly handled many dressed veal and hogs for its farmer customers, but Manager Deckebach said yester day the firm has not handled any for some time past. The Salem Fruit company former ly handled hogs and veal, but has not handled a carcass for more than thirty days, I am informed. "I say, get an inspector here In Salem," says a representative of the Farmers Produce company. "I have shipped hogs and veal for years and have had much trouble in the past with hogs being inspected and turned down for tuberculosis, which I thought were in a perfectly good condition, and could have readily sold on the local market. I aim to buy only the best, and pay the high est prices, but for our own protec tion we should have a responsible Inspector in Salem.". Kchrunk Buys from Farmer. A. W. ScJirunk on Commercial street buys dressed hogs and veal from his. farmer friends and some times ships to Portland, although he has made no shipments there re cently, as he can handle at good prices all he can buy and sell in Salem. As to the necessity for, having a government inspector in Salem Mr. Starting Next SUNDAY (1 . t In I 11m Latest "A MODERN' 3IIKKKTKKR The OREGON . . . , STARTING TOMY 2 O'CLOCK GERALD .
