A requect for information and
pictures concerning the Salem
free automobile camp grounds
was received yesterday by T. J.
Albert, superintendent, from the
American Automobile association
In New York. Road and camp
guides for motorists are being
compiled by the association au
thorities. Accompanying the letter was a
clipping from the Salem States
man of a recent issue about the
number of tourists that had
flopped at the grounds this year
and a questionnaire regarding all
of the features and facilities about
a camp ground which Mr. Albert
was requested to fill In and re
turn very soon.
The Salem camp has become fa
mous all along the coast and all
over the United States, tor that
matter, although It is only a year
old. It is one of the cleanest and
most pleasantly and conveniently
situated camps in the country and
the fact that it offers ail facilities
free, with the exception of wood,
is a popular feature to the tourist
who has to pay for every accom
modation In many other camps
along the coast.

t WASHINGTON. May 18 Em
ergency and permanent tariff bills
each moved a step forward today
in congress. Senate and house
conferees reached an agreement
en the emergency measure and a
joint resolution was introduced
In the house to make all rates,
carried in the forthcoming per
manent schedules effective from
the date the bill Is introduced in
the house.
Senate Change Aceejtfed.
The house managers accepted
several senate changes In the anti
dumping section of the emerg
ency tariff with the period of
uongareduced0lfrorn 'Vix tIthrre
ree
months. Changes in the anti
dumping section are regarded as
limiting the scope of the provis-ions-and
curbing somewhat the
authority conferred on the secre
tary of the treasury as to his
decisions on where and when
dumping occurs.
ImportK May be Held Up.
Customs appraisers were em
powered to hold up imports until
determination is made by the
treasury of when dumping penal
ties shall be applied.
Provisions of the currency con
version section which, like the
anti-duruping legislation, had un
dergone senate re-writing, were
accepted by the house conferees.
Emergency May be Obviated.
The resolution respecting the
effective date of the rates in the
proposed permanent tarif.f bill
will bring to the treasury, if
adopted, the full revenue gained
by the bill during the time It is
being debated In congress and
therefore supplant the emergency
tariff.
