Within the next two or three

camp was opened March 1 ' there
have been 3277 machines regis

of the season1 last year.
During the month of July a to
tal of 1459 automobiles were
registered in comparison with the
1014 registered in July, 1923,
Averaging four passengers to the
automobile, this means that a to
tal of 14,106 visitors' have stopped
over night so far this season, of
which 5836 were In July.
. Each month this year surpassed
the figures of the corresponding
month last year. In June this

June, 1923; May saw 571 thia

fron the .pacific highway about
three miles south of Salem early
Friday ; morning. The; machine
was badly wrecked . after it had
turned completely pver and lodged
against a post.
1 Mr. Hockenberry, was unable to
account for the accident, but as
the accident occurred after the
driver had been at the wheel for
hours and on a curve at the bot
tom of a depression in the high
way, it is believed that he fell
asieep for. a short time.
. The father. and daughter were
on their way to Portland to visit
Mrs."Hockenberry,lwife and moth
er, and other relatives. Upon rem
edying word of the accident Mrs.
Hockenberry and H. J. Hot: ken
berry of Portland,: grandfather of
the dead girl, came to Salem. The
injured man was able to leave the
hospital . and return to Portland
with his father. and -wife. H..J.

party of three women from Cali
fornia were in the camp last
night; last week there were four
women from New j York, with no

are regular callers at the camp
ground. When the women see the
tent houses they are not content
to pitch their own tents, which
they are highly capable of doing
without assistance,! but demand
the key and move In. The de
mand for these tent houses has
been so great that the original
