THANKSGIVING FETE

Salem today, so far as the general
pubnc is concerned. The general
delivery window will be open
from 9 to 10 for transients only.
No routed mar will be delivered
None ot the routes will be carried
though mail will be collected and
dispatched as- usual by a small
force of clerks who will take their
real vacation later.
There is no such word as
Thanksgiving day in the railroad
calendar; no vacations, no holiday
rates, no nothing. . Nobody Is
happy, nobody Is thankful, noth
ing looks good after tha flood and
the rate and wage drop, and the
railroad looks like one ot tbe or
iginal Gloom boys, Gloomy Gus.

CONCLUDED
has an official paper that ougnt
to be handled on November 24 is
clear out of luck unless he han
dles it himself. For the state
and the county won't touch it
with tongs, on Thanksgiving day.
Out at the penitentiary there
will be a real vacation. A picture
show will be given in the fore
noon, a whooping big chicken din
ner at noon, a cessation of all la
bor for the whole day, and all the
vacation that th9 season can
bring. It is gloomy weather, and
a prison is not the ideal place to
inspire the most thankful hearts.
but Warden Compton hopes -o
make It a better day for every
one than the general run of days.
Training School Celebrates
A half day vacation from both
work and study is to be given at
the boys' training school, and a
dinner that will linger long in the
memories of the boys. In the af
ternoon, they are to have music,
and, indoor games at the gym,
and the whole day is to be given
over to a real Thanksgiving spir
it. .
There Is no Thanksgiving dance
or entertainment of any kind at
the armory this year.
A Jolly-Up party at Waller hall
is the Willamette contribution to
the holiday spirit. An elaborate
program of impromptu eports,
music, games, sociability, is to be
offered, and the student who is
unfortunate enough to be strand
ed at college instead of goinii
home for the big dinner, may be
the luckiest of 'em all. With the
train service bo precarious since
the flood, it Is likely to be almost
a fad to stay over in Salem for
this one event.
Football In Afternoon
The one big public celebration
is the football game this after
noon, at 1 o'clock, between the
Salem high and Lincoln high of
Portland. The 'Lincoln team,
coached by Chief "Wap," for
years the great end of Wilalmette
university, has not touched the
Portland championship, but has
demonstrated real class, and has
some of the players rated as mem
bers of the hypothetical all-Portland
team. The local team has
been going like a whirlwind of
late, and puts up a classy game
that would win the heart of any
critic. It should be an even
enough game to give a thrill every
minute. The hour was set early,
so the two-meals-a-day Thanks
giving could be enjoyed at the us
ual schedule hour of mid-afternoon.
Chcmawa Has Holiday
Chemawa will have tbe royalist
dinner of the whole year, with the
employes, men and women, from
the superintendent down to the
last on the list, as servitors to
fetch in tbe food and; to wait on
the students... In , the afternoon,
there will be some class and other
rivalries, including two football
games, and the whole day will be
one, grand round of good things
that will wipe out any homesick
ness that might seek to prevail

Wet Wood Pulp Rate is
Reduced, Barnes Reports
A reduction in freight rates has
been secured for wet wood pulp,
according to E. T. Barnes, gen
eral manager of the Oregon Pulp
& Paper company.
This reduction will enable the
mill to ship to a number of dis
tant points and meet competition
and secure considerable new bus
iness. The Important feature of this
freight reduction is the fact that
with the additional business,, to be
secured it will enable the 'mill
management to run. the sulphite
mill to its fullest capacity. The
new rate will become effective the
first of the year, MriBarnes said.

CHINESE
WIN
Mrs. Chin Tung Declares
Through Interpreter That
She Likes Salem
"Oon fo, see ma won hip ying."
No, this ;is not the .title of a
Chinese Jazz record, but it is a
Statesman reporter's idea of how
Mrs. ChinTung .three weeks from
China, expressed her good opinion
of Salem as gained from her first
three days in the city.
Mrs. Tung Is the first Chinese
immigrant to arrive; in Salem in
a period of about lO years. She
cannot speak English, but said,
through an interpreter, that she
Is determined to learn the lan
guage, i
With her; husband. Chin Tung,
acting as manager of the White
Cloud Tea House, Mrs. Chung ar
rived in Salem Sunday. Their
son, Chin Nin. aged 7, is also in
America for the first time.
i want very mucn mat our
son speak American and be Am
erican," Mrs. Chung told the in
terpreter.
Despite the fact that this i3 her
first experience with Americans
Mrs. Tung is not bashful, but
gaily undertakes a conversation
with English-speakng visitors, as-(
sailing mem wun a torrent ot
eager questions a la Celestial. .
Mr. Tung was a former Port
land resident, having conducted
Test au rants ; in that city for the
past 20 years. During that time
he has -made five trips to China,
having marHed there about 12
years ago.
Members
Are Speaking
At Rotary Club Meeting
The weekly luncheon of tho
Rotary club held yesterday noon
at the Marion hotel, was devoted
to individual expression of opin
ions that will be continued at the
next meeting.
Fred Schmidt, speaking on the
duties of a Rotarian, read from
some literature on Rotary in
which it-was stated that the ob
ject of Rotary was not only for
the betterment of the individual.
but for the betterment of the
community.
Mr. Schmidt brought out that
last spring a committee reported
on Boy Scout work.; approving it.
He thought a Rotarian should
take an active part in the civic life
of a city, and should also become
interested in boys work.
In a discussion, it developed
that the committee appointed to
look after boyk had conferred with
County iudge W.' M. Bushey and
that be was -filling to call in. this
committee' when any special boy
proposition,, waa presented. .-.
j F ; G,; ' DecHebach' said he
thought Rotarians should be en
raged in some uplift work and
that the! time had come when some
practical, work should be done by
Rotatiaiis. Ho urged the RotarK
ans tojet together ' and accom-
pusn sometning.

During tne trial the state intro

that Todd had made a statement
to F. A. Kurtz, of this city, that
Byron had served time in jail, and
was a crook and absolutely unre
liable? There was also much tes
timony to indicate that Todd had
generally introduced Byron a3 be
ing a responsible business man
and that Todd had given his many
friends to understand that Byron
could be trusted.
While testifying in his own de
fense. Mr. Todd asserted that lie
had had implicit faith in Byron's
statements that he had been
cleared from similar land fraud
charges for which he (Byron) had
been indicted some time prior to
the Salem operations.
Unmasked Bandits Rob
Northern Pacific Train
SPOKANE, Nov. 23. Two
armed, unmasked men boarded
the observation car of Northern
Pacific passenger train No. 1,
westbound, as it left the Spokane
union station at 9:10 o'clock to
night and robbed the few passen
gers in the car Of about $50 in
cash and a considerable amount
of jewelry.
The robbery took place in plain
view of people on the station plat
form and employes in the rail
road yard. The robbers jumped
from the train before it had gone
over 200 yards, and were chased
by yard workers. The Northern
Pacific tracks are on an elevated
structure and the robbers escaped
by sliding down a coal chute near
Post street.
The train did not stop. A re
port of the amount of money and
valuables taken was telegraphed
by the, train conductor to Spo
kane from Cheney, Wash., the
first stop.

five wesk3 off, has been eet for
the next smoker to be given by
Company F. Oregon national
guard. The meet last Friday
night was so successful, that thero
is promise of iar greater interest
for future events of the kind.
There wasn't a thing lacking to
make the first program a succes.-,
save the preliminary doubt by
some of the prospective patrons
Now It looks good to every one
in the least interested in athlet
ics, and the boys are counting on
a full house.
The fullj program has not been
made out j but there will be an
other Mulkey-Brady' bout, this
time for lfi full-sized rounds. The
first meet! was unfortunate InJ
that it ended in Mulkey losing on
a foul. Probably no spectator
thought that a foul was intended.
It was merely hard luck. But ir
hasn't improved the relations o"
the two contestants. Both ara
training for the coming match.
Mulkey at! Monmouth and Brady
in the armory here. Brady is a
flash in speed, with a portentious
record behind him., but in Mulkey
he goes against the punch of a
heavyweight with the strength ot
a prize wrestler and the speed and
Ekill of a featherweight. Brady
will need all his record to stay in
the ring for 10 rounds.
The other events will be an
nounced in good time.

Several Players Have Op
portunity to Win Letters
In Game Today
Brown. Post. Socolofsky and
Mclioberts, four of Salem's bright
est stars, will be on the bench
todav when the Salem high school
football team trots out on Sweet
land field to battle with the in
vading aggregation from Lincoln
high school of Portland. It is
understood that the four will en
ter the game soon after the start
but are not privileged to start
the game, in order that several
other players may qualify for
school emblems for this season.
The line-up which will start
today will put Lilligren. star red
and black backfield man. on the
left end position and Stolzheise on
the right wing. Moorman and
Ellis White will play the tackle
positions, with Ralph White and
Max Jones in the guard berths.
Cciughill is back in the center po
sition after being out for several
Karnes and will pass the ball to
Rheinhart at quarter. In the
backfield Lynn Jones will .play
fullback, Adolph left half, and
Purvine right half.
Sweetland field has been fairly
under vater for the past week,
but every effort is being made
to drain it and though slippery,
will be in fair shape today con
sidering the amount of rain. The
Salem team will be at an equal
disadvantage with the Portland
school as it had little opportunity
to practice on the slippery field.
Fans hold prospects for today's
frame bright and chances evenly
divided. The Portland school's
record for the season has been
almost the same as that of the
locals, -with a slight advantage
for Salem. Comparative scores
of teams that have played both
schools Rive Salem the advantage.
but were taken from the first of
the season, and Lincoln is reputed
to have developed a strong ag
gregation after a poor start in
the season, much the same as Sa
lem. Coach "Tubby" Hendricks
expressed himself yesterday as
being well satisfied with the con
dition of the team and expresses
confidence in his men.

IS W SUCCESS
Best in Years, Js Verdict of
County Superintendent
Fulkerson
"The Marion county teachers'
institute which has just closed
was the most satisfactory in
years," declared Mrs. M. L. Ful
kerson, Marion county superin
tendent. "The spirit was .won
derfully fine. Everyone was
prompt in all sessions and there
was the closest of attention to
all speakers. No one refused to
work when called upon."
W. M. Smith, assistant state
superintendent of public schools,
spoke Wednesday morning on
'The County Unit Plan." This
plan is one by which all districts
in a county have their affairs
administered by a board of five.
This board elects the county su
perintendent and buys supplies
fot districts.
?r6ok county is the only coun
ty that has elected to put the law
in force, as it i3 optional with
counties.
While Mr. Smith, did not recom
mend tbe adoption of the law,
yet the impression was that he
looked upon the law with favor.
John H. Rudd, executive secre
tary Marion county Y. M. C. A.,
spoke on "Physical Education."
He said that the old idea of the
country boy being more healthy
than the city boy had been ex
ploded. He recommended plenty
of play for school children as a
means of keeping up their spirit.
I ''Jf, aJ??llow ptreak develops in
the play of a boy, watch oat for
htm later in his business deal'
ings,Vdeclarsd Mr, Rudd."- He al
so recommended. the countv nurse
wen
we
a3 being of great help to dis
tricts. J. C. Nelson, principal ot the
Salem hizh school, declared that
more attention should be given to
thf ttarhinp of history, and to
the development of world affairs.
"We need a broader conception
of patriotism." declared Mr. Nel
son, "on? that will enable us to
regard all nations sympatheti
cally. We do not yet sufficiently
realize that the problem before
the Washington conference is not
merely the reduction of armament
but the removal of the causes
that lead to war."
To disarm without removing
these causes, Mr. Nelson said,
would not prevent war. Too much
patriotism is sentiment and is
not based on sufficient knowl
edge of facts, he said.
J. S. Landers, president of the
Monmouth normal school, said
that the work of teachers is just
now being appreciated. The pres
ent unrest, he said, is caused
mostly by selfishness.
Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, presi
dent of Willamette university, de
clared that the high schools of
years ago produced more inde
pendent thinkers than the mod
ern high schools. Ha alsa rather
condemned the present elective
system which now prevails in high
schools, claiming that results have
not been satisfactory.
"It is not the officer of the law
that protects our children, but
rather the preacher in the pulpit,''
he declared. "I tremble at what
the next few years will bring if
our young people are not led
aright," declared Dr. Doney.
The. fifth annual teachers' in
stitute which closed with the af
ternoon session ,is. regarded by
those especially Interested as the
best institute held in years. Not
notwithstandins the inclement
weather there was a. 100 per

speakers noted, an intensa inter

Ill ESTATE IS
FINALLY SETTLED
Michael Neil of Jersey City
Receives Property of
His Brother
After-litigation for the past
four years in dozens of motions
and the submitting of additional
evidence, the county court has
finally issued an order in the es
tate of James Neil who died in
Salem, December 2, 1916.
By this order, T. K. Ford, one
of the executors of the estate, has
been ordered to close the affairs
of the estate within 15 days and
turn the property involved over to
Michael Neil, whom the court has
adjudged to be the surviving le
gal heir.
James Neil, fir the three years
before Jxis .death, had served as
watchman at ' the Oregon state
hospital, and by ecoonmy for
many years, 'had accumulated
about 113.000 worth of property.'
He was nnmarrXed. i .

Catholic church , in Salem, to be
paid on tho street -assessment
against the church, Garrette M.

at Bay View and seven lots In As
toria.
The balance of his estate h
willed to bis two brothers and sis
ters living in the east, although
their ' addresses were unknown.
Besides the bequests ta his rela
tives, and the appointment of T.
K. Ford and Patrick uyan as ex.
ecutors, there was the provision
that if his relatives could not be
located in 10 years, the estate was
to be divided as follows:
One-fifth to Garrette M:' Julian:
one-fith to Ida Martin; one-fifth
to Marie Julian; one-fith to T. K.
Ford and John Quirk and one
fifth to the Catholic church of Sa-
lam and Patrick Ryan. !
By one of the stranre thtnrs
that happen, in advertising fori the
unknown heir of James Neil an
attorney in New York City hap
pened to remember the he knew a
Michael Neil of Jersey City, j
in correspondence with John
Bayne, more was learned of tho
James Neil who had died here.
and the fact that the Michael
Neil in New Jersey was the sur
viving brother. .
Tbe' matter was fought out in
the local court, with affidavits
coming from Ireland to show! Mi
chael Neil was the surviving
brother and that the two sisters
had died. j
About one year ago Michael
Neil came west and testified, and
such evidence was produced to
convince the court that Michael
Neil of New Jersey was the solo
surviving heir ot the James Neil
who had died in Salem in 1916.
The property involved consists
mainly of real estate in Salem.
