WisHkpTwo Yeas Ago Does
' Not Discourage Nervy
Salem Driver
' "Dusty" Rhodes of Salem has
decided to show the home folks
that, he sun has lot, of .racing
blood Ja him, notwithstanding e
fact that in a ra.ce two years ago
nis car was run, into, and "Dusty" J
w car came out or the mis
fortune pretty well done up.
' Hence,,"Dusty has entered for
the six. and eight-mile race to fee
held t tlje state fair grounds on
lbor day." when 2 JL of. the fast
est racer in the northwest "will be
there with their autos to take a
chance on breaking the northwest
records.' ' :.: r
-Dusty".,wlll enter his car, the
"Dusty Special,.? and In the six
and eight-mile race he will travel
with 15 of the fastest men in the
facing game. But he . has a $
valve overhead system for his ear
and -under ordinary -track condi
tions can travel along at a 90-mile
gait-; .
Everything now Indicates that
the big auto races for next Mon
day afternoon , at the state fair
grounds, given, for the benefit of
the Salem hospital fund, will
j bring a record-breaking crowd to
the city. . '. ."

ginning at 9 o'clock, there will be
no admission charge to the state
, fair grounds, the committee in
I charge- announced today.
' '.'Dusty-. Rhodes has been em
ployed by the state highway com
mission, but having heard that
some of the home folks doubt his
nerve since his accident two years
ago, he has decided to go Into the
six and. eigbt-mie race with 1Q0
per cent. of punch -and that -amount
of nerve in his effort to cross the
tape ahead of the 15 fast racers
who will be in the two races try
ing to do the very thing that
Rhodes has figured out tor hlm

AT FAIR DEBATED
Wenderoth and Adolph to
. Make Appearance Be-:
fore Board Today
Whether baseball it to be play
ed at the Oregon state fair will
be further discussed today when
the state fair board meets and
Harry Wenderoth,' manager of the
Salem Senators, and - Joseph
"Adolph, prominent fan, appear be
fore the board with some sugges
tions as to how the games might
be put on. wjlh financial success.
Wenderoth and Adolph put the
proposal before Fred Curry, sec
retary of the state fair board, a
few days ago and several sug
gestions were discussed, but Mr,
Curry asked them! to return today
with some . concrete proposal for
- the board's consideration.
Secretary Curry believes It
would be impracticable to play in
the Af ternoon at a time conflicting
with the' horse races at Lone Oak
track. The reasoQ 'is that ther
would be no way to arrange for
admission charge. A better plan,
Mr Curry believes, would be for
the, games to take place in the
forenoon Within 'the race "track
oval and : have an admission
charged taj the grandstand or to
the: ball grounds, This plan does
not appeal to all concerned, and a
till better plan, it Is believed,
would be for the fair board to ap
propriate a sunv of money to
support the games It Is believed
11,000 would take care "of , an
elimination ; tournament " with
about four teams in the running.

from Nome August 3, after being

vessel was - liable to seizure if
found at soviet waters,. At
Kotzebue he attempted to obtain

one -; of several families he, had
induced to join him deserted on
the ere of his departure. , The
master of the Donaldson, Captain
Louis Hanson, resigned his com
