Salem high school last night annexed ; the district basketball championship and won the right to enter the state championship tournament to be held here the latter part of the week. Salem was an easy victor over the Siiverton quintet, although the local men were giv en a fierce battle at the first. The game was played at Woodburn on the high school floor. Brown;, Salef forward, captured the first point of the game when he converted a foul throw within minute from the opening of play. The first half was char acterised by fierce, hard fighting in which neither side was given a decided advantage. For a time Siiverton had the long end of the score but after absorbing about 0 minutes in getting used to the floor, the Salem men began an attack which never weakened and which maintained the lead in their favor until the end of the game. Small Floor Hampers. At the first Salem was greatly hampered DV the small size of the floor and their temporary loss was largely due' to their inability to keep the ball within bounds. In addition .the consistent guard ing of the Siiverton squad kept them from gaining substantially vy the use of the ball. It was the -everse of these two factors which save them their victory. From the middle of the first half both number of times that they car ried the ball out of bounds, but alem gained a distinct lead in its use of the ball. Lennon did some of the best work of the season by his re covery of the ball and in addition succeeded in annexing three bas kets. .Patterson did excellent work In his guard position while Lillegren, playing in the other looming up as a really big thing.

Brown did ex cellent work in his forward po sition and established himself both as high point man of hs team and for the game. Moser Is Star. Moser, the fast Siiverton guard, was the shining light for his team. Siiverton fans were greatly dis atisfied with the work of Leon Fabre the Portland referee, and I af ten the game he was attacked, although Siiverton people- were not entirely responsible. There was considerable evidence of drunkedness on the part of many of some of the spectators and it was rumored that arrests were made. Police halted the attack on the referee which threatened to cause; a general fight. The referee during the game had pen alized those who 'were sitting on the side of the house occupied by the Siiverton rooters for their refusal to quiet their cheering while a Salem player was attempt ing a foul shot by allowing Harold Socolofsky to take an extra shot, which he converted. While they were jeering at his penalty, Far hre turned to them and threat ened to allow the Salem player to continue shooting until they be came silence 'even if it cost them the game." The game was exceedingly hard and fast and was because of its nature hard to referee. The Lineup. Lineups Salem: 'Brown and Ticker. forwards; Lennon, cen ter; Lillegren and Patterson, guards.

That's quite a lot. but it's noth ing to what It will be a little later on. There are 12,000 assessments out, and for the last week they come In at the rate of 300 or 400 a day. One day, last year, just before the close of the penalty time. 449 remittances came In for adjucatlon. For the last few days, when there are so many people throng ing the tax room, no attention is paid to mail remittances.

It might be as much as a week be fore they are able to nan dl 9 all the letters, and write out the re ceipts. It is estimated that there may be fully 2000 of these mall remittances. The taxes begin to draw Interest if unpaid by April 5. ; HIS ClDIDACy State Treasurer Says He Will Make Campaign An nouncement Later O. P.

In The SPEAKER TELLSs of m mi Terrible Suffering of Starv ing and Dying People Described Here FUNDS ARE CALLED FOR Work and Sacrifices of Ore gon Men and Women Praised by Handsaker "I found a dead boy in the street. He had died of starva tion. It was the middle of Au gust, and hot at that. Starved to death! "They brought 250 children to me at Eiivan and fc.Ud that by the c!osest management I might kep 25 of them. The others tbey would certainly starve to death; for there was no one else to feed them. Did you ever think what that would mean to pick one out of ten children that play around your door, and to know that the others were certain to die a hideous death by starva tion?. What ones would you choose? And could one ever eiauc the picn:e of tho-io other iltle folks, plodding for a chance to I.ve? Thousands Vound Starving They told nifi when I staMftd to Tiflis t'ut the children there would appreciate a little tanJy. I ,vas new, anf! in a hurry but I had time to t-t a 2 H -pound hox cl sweets. I found 30 000 cbll- h.mi, starvm-, most of whom had never, taste i cundy. That p!tl f:ii Jittle b.v o' sweets was doled out as far as it would go but what a tragedy for those that it ddnit reach! Most of them must die without ever tasting candy unless America feeds them." These are some of the sug gestions from the addresses of John Handsaker, state fanager for the Near East relief campaign, at the First Methodist church Sunday morning, at the Christian qhurch Sunday night and at the Commercial club Monday noon, "An Oregon woman, Mrs. Em ery, is in charge of feeding 5000 children at Alexanderpol. The bat tle-harassed little waifs are from 5 to 15 pounds under weight, for she hasn't enough to feed them all they need. She faces this prob lem: The supply of food that is available, mayi) possibly sustain life in most of those children; hut she says that they will be dwarfed, stunted, ruined for life. She faces the dreadful problem of whether it is best to feed them all as long as possible, haping for greater relief or whether de liberately kllj off onehalf by de voting all the food to the others. that could be fairly decently fed tn wnat au now get. This wo- man of sublime spiritual courage has buried her husband and her own little son while in this service but to slay 2500 children by one word of denial is a task that ap pals her. Could we help her to a decision?" Greeks Are Dying Mr. Handsaker was at Batoum tne snipping point for all. the southern Russian Soviet colonies He says that Mrs. W. S. Rambo of Baker. Ore., went to the Near East to serve for a year. Follow mg the war there were 25 000 Greeks stranded near Batoum dy ing for lack of food and care. The Greek government implored the American service for someone to go out and look after them. Mr and Mrs. Rambo went, and for their splendid humanitarian ser vice the queen of Greece sent heartfelt letter of thanks. Mrs Rambo is now in Oregon, cam paigning for the fund to relieve the awful starvation of the nn happy people all around the Black and Caspian seas. ' "I saw refugee huts all through the famine districts with my own name on them. They were built partly of shipping boxes in which supplies were sent from Oregon. One shipment of 70 tons of cloth ing was a Godsend to the people, for the country is colder than this, and there is dreadful suffer ing where there Is neither food, nor fuel, nor shelter or clothing. Miss Nellie Colton of Forest Grove is at Trebizond. where we missed a battle between the Turks and the Greeks by four days. American Flag Welcome "At Batoum, all is under one flag the red International. Their money Is printed with the inter national label; they progress to know only internationalism of socialism. ' But there is one ex ception in the way of flags the American flag. On the fourth of Jnlv the Soviet stronrhold at Tlf- lis celebrated With the children marching with paper American flags In their hands, and the So viet bands played the Star Span gled Banner and America. Only one country has seriously come to their relief this country of ours. It has given 99 per cent of all the help received by these starving, war-wearied people, struggling in the bottom pits of hell for a chance to live. "Near Mount Ararat, where Miss Frances Gage, formar Y. Wi C. A. secretary at Portland, had a mission school, the Turks came and drove away to worse than slavery and death, 60 girls that Miss Gage had been maintaining. She followed them, against the protests of her friends, who de clared that she, too. would be lost, and that she would do no good. She made so effective an appeal, however, that more than 50 of the girls were given back to her; but she took the tpyhus fever and died." Money Without Value The speaker "exhibited a Quan tity of the money of the soviet and the other pauperized coun tries adjacent. He had paid 5000 rubles, the equivalent of 5 cents in real American money, for a shoe shine; and 600,000 rubles at Erivan was worth only about a dollar. "There is nothing back of this money but the printing press," said Mr. Handsaker. "It never can come to value." The war is still on, in much of that country. The Greeks and the Turks, backed by the other jealous nations of Europa. are still fighting over the corpses of these unhappy lands. " What the people want is peace and a chance to rest for a moment from the horrible nightmare of the past few years. They have no capital. In Tiflis, a really great city, larger than Portland, I did not see single store with of stock of goods worth 500. They can't get away; they cn't raise crops, for they have no Beed, no animals for mo tive power, and the war will in stantly take what they- raise. Three hundred thousand people will starve to death this winter and even that will not help the survivors, except as we come to their aid. Sixty dollars will feed a child for a whole yean, and the overhead expense of handling the relief has figured to only 7.8 per cent. The national organization has been financed by one great American, Mr. Cleveland H Dodge. Tractors Are Sent We are sending 10 tractors over to one section. We should have had 36, but the money isn' in sight to pay for them. With the coming of peacs, the people could soon take care of themselves If we will give them the start and keep them alive untiLthey can raise a crop." Judge John H. Scott has taken the Marion county chairmanship and is boosting the campaign for funds that will be lannched here this; week. .pprox!nateIv t '. j00 was raised at :he First Methodist church Sunday morning, and sev eral hundred dollars at other churches of, the city.
