The Statesman's call for sag gestlons for a new name for West Salem, in compliance with the wishes of the postoffice depart ment, continues to bring results ia fact nearly as many addition al suggestions came in yesterday and last night as had been pro- posed in toto previously during the week. Thirty-eight were re - ceived yesterday, making a total of 60 in all. Keep them coming. The West Salem city council is to meet on Monday night -and decide what name it likes best and wants a good, big list to select from. Here Are the Xew Ones Here are the latest suggestions. a few of which nave previously been submitted by other persons: "Cherryvale" or "Frultvale." presented by W. H. Parker, the photographer. "It occurs to us," writes Mr. Parker, "that this par ticular section of the Willamette valley happens to be one of the best fruit belts in the entire coun try. It is also a known fact (at least some of us thing so) that this is the cherry center of the en tire world. Cherryville,". presented by Rea W. Craven of Dallas. "Eola," "Rivertown" and "Huckesteln" are all suggested by one who wishes to be knowp simply as Rural Resident. "Why cannot the name Eela be used?" Rural Resident writes, "since West Salem is rather one of Eo- la's suburbs and Eola has a pio neer history not to be overlook ed. Or if not that, then "River town, since the place has been so named by one of Oregon's leading writers, Molly Runcorn Brunk. in a serial story she wrote for the Ladies Home Jour nal.

March 16 Spe cial to the Statesman) The big mill of the Willamette Valley Lumber comoany was forced to close down this week on account of not being; able to get logs be cause of the great depth of snow in the mountains west of Black Rock in which the logging opera tions are carried on. Last week when the mill re sumed operations after a shut down for repairs there was but little snow in the regions of the logging camp Saturday there was more than six leet and since then there has been a snovrtalt ri j ui&u.i Kuiku "HUBS mo tal depth to practically eight feet. Not until this snow melts will the loggers be able to resume work and the mill will not be able to run until this time. In the meantime the fuel sUua tion in Dallas is becoming acute. The power plsnt of the Mountain i States Power company takes all the slabwood and suwdust from the big mill and every available stick of wood is being saved for the company leaving the town people destitute as far as wood Is concerned. Farmers who had a quantity of wood cut last year and did not have an opportunity to :sel it are receiving fancy pricesr now. Woman Causes Sensation While Under Examina tion by Attorneys N SAN FRANCISCO. March lfr. The jury in the Roscoe Arbuc kw case was finally completed and sworn in at the conclusion of the court Session today. The film comedian is facing a third trial on I a manslaughter charge in connec- 1 tion with the death of Virginia Rappe, film actress. Four women are on the completed jury. A sensation was caused in the trial late this afternoon when a prospective juror on examination. Miss May C. Sharon, stated that she had been approached regard ing her convictions on the case since becoming a member of the panel. She said that several days ago a woman representing herself as a member of the Women's Pro tective league had called her on the phone asking her opinion as to Arbuckle's guilt or Innocence. Her reply was as follows: "If he is guilty they are all guilty." She explained that her ques tioner did not give her name, but appeared anxious to keep up the conversation volunteering the opinion that the trial of the com edian was costing the people of San Francisco a lot of money. Attorneys for both sides inter rogated Miss Sharon carefully with the apparent hope of getting a clue to the identity of the wo man who had approached her. but she was unable to enlighten them further. She had no fixed opinion and was tempararily passed. Wages of Painters is Cut Down in Tacoma TACOMA, Wash., March 16.
