Cook, scout executiTe, if the rest
of the city will contribute as liber
ally during the last half of the cam
paign as during the first, the boys
will be able to put their budget over
the. top for the year, and the big
program outlined for the city will
be assured.
At least 100.000 pounds of paper
will be necessary to put the Scout
movement on its feet. Reports are
that about 40,000 pounds have been
collected from about half of the
city, and an attempt will be made
by the boys to bring home the bacon
during the next week.
All of the city north of North Mill
creek is yet to be canvassed for pa
per, and also that portion east of
Twelfth street and south of State
street, commonly known as the Yew
Park and Richmond districts. It
will practically be up to the people
in those two sections to furnish the
remainder ot the 100.000 pounds in
order to insure the ruccess of the
local movement. However, a great
many people in the districts alreadv
covered are beginning to find that
all of their paper was not donated,
and calls are "coming into Scout Ex
ecutive Cook at 772 for special call
yet to be made.
The districts yet remaining m-ill
be thoroughly covered on Saturday.
and an attempt be made to cover
the entire city with flying squadrons
during the next few days." in order
to collect every bit of paper yet to
be rounded up for the drive.
If your paper' hasn't been collected
call the scout executive for a Scout.

the return of cars to their home
roads. By this', it was hoped that
many lines might be able, by virtue
of regaining use of their own equip
ment, to alleviate local tie-ups.
The commission put into effect
today the suggestions of the rail
way executives relative to the ex
change of equipment eastward and
westward beginning May 25. Orders
were Issued to various roads for aa
eastward movement of approximat
ely az.uuu coal cars which Is ex
pected to be completed in 20 days.
Similarly a westward movement of
box cars was ordered which will
transfer 20,000 cars to the "grain
producing, sections of the middle-
west in 30 days. In discussing the
general traffic situation the com
mission explained that there were
two primary causes for the jam-
Shortage of equipment and "unfav
orable labor conditions upon all the
lines.

Local High School Ball Club
Is Now Undisputed Champ
ion of County
The claims of the Silverton hUh
school baseball team for the cham
pionship of Marion .county vanished
into thin air when the local high
school administered a 16 to 8 drub
bing to them at Silverton ye?terday
afternoon.
At least 100 high school studen's
accompanied the team and cheered
it on to victory.
The game was played on a grasy
field made very wet by the rain
which fell in the forepart of the af
ternoon. The balls became very
heavy and the pitchers were unable
to put anything on the ball at all.
trrors were -frequent and were a
great factor in the scoring of the Sil
verton boys. The runs made bv the
locals came through hard hitting
mingled with walks. Salem an
nexed 18 hits while the best Silver
ton could do was to gather in si
during the nine Inning?.
Both of the Silverton pitchers tJ
face Coach Schott's wrecking crew
were terribly manhandled in the line
of bas hits. Olson did fairly well
until the eighth when Salem mad
six hits and as many runs. Bennett
then assumed the burden and was
greeted with another fusillade of hits
In the ninth when the locals again
crossed the plate for six runs.
Tbe game was a slow, long-drawn-
out affair, requiring two hours and
ten minutes to play.
Followers of the high school ath
letics are much pleased at the team's
