No matter how many roads there are
leading in or; out of your town, the ones
best paved get the traffic j
This is especially true if these roads
are of Concrete. For every motorist ap- .
predates the many advantages of driving
over its true, rigid, unyielding surface.
No wonder Concrete Highways are
crowded for imile after mile. More than
17,000,000 paotor vehicles are using
them today.! And new cars are being
produced at the rate of 4,000,000 a year.
Here is a situation of vital concern to
you. Everywhere we need more or wider
Concrete Roads, or both, to take care of
the ever-increasing traffic. And now is
the time to plan for their construction.
Your higbjway officials want to be of
the greatest possible service to youJ Get

will provide imore Concrete Roads and

MAN IS HELD FOR
! RANCHER'S DEATH
(Con tinned from pas 1
Bert Hill, j who is alleged to have
slain Fred Smith, a homesteader,
near Weed, Cal., on October 28
last, was arrested here today by
the police. Hill's wife swore out
a warrant here today, charging
her husband with desertion and
when Chief of Police McNabb ar
rested him, he saw a resemblance
between the arrested man and the
man wanted for killing Smith.
Papers found, in Hill's pockets
contained signatures which offi
cers said resembled the signature
of the fugitive slayer.
Sheriff Andy Calkins of Siski
you county arrived here and re
turned to Trek a with him.
The Weed murderer attacked
Smith while his guest and ran
sacked the cabin, taking every
thing of value. The man held
here stated he had been working
in the Chiloquin lumber mills. :
LLIHEE COUNTRY
Membership Increased From
$50 to $100 By Direc
tors Last Night I
The regular meeting of the
Country club was held last night
at the Chamber of Commerce club
rooms. Business and routine mat
ters took tup the major portion of
the time. Following a meeting of
the board of directors, it was de
cided to raise the price of member
ship to the organization from $50
to 100 a year, beginning from
July 1. In addition the monthly
dues, beginning next April are to
be increased to $7.50 per quarter.
or 50 cents per month. This in
crease In i membership dues was
brought about by the many im
provements and additions that
have been made on the club
grounds, j i
Even with the raise the Illihee
country club has a ' membership
fee that is far below the fees of
other country clubs of the Willam
ette valley. J
Within a few days the schedule
for the golf tournament will be
issued ready for playing, accord
ing to Fred A. Williams, chair
man of the tournament committee.
An inter-city .; match has been
arranged for May between Eugene
Salem and Corvallis. May 10, 17
and 24 are the dates selected.
Eugene and Corvallis have already
one leg to their credit and have
one more to go. The club win
ning must have two legs to their
credit. I
Chances for a strong team get
ting in the field are very good, al
though the Salem players have
been held by the bad weather of
the past weeks, but it is expected
the practise of the coming weeks
will make some difference.
Habeas Corpus Instituted I ,
Mose Hinds, alias William John
son, arrested recently on a war
rant i from Kansas charging big

Definite Arrangements Are
Now Under Way for Bas
ketball Tournament
Definite arrangements are now
underway; with the teams who are
to compete here in the all-coast
tournament that is to be held in
the Willamette gym soon.
A telephone call was received
yesterday by Coach Guy L. Rath
bun from the superintendent of
schools at Kupert, Idaho. The
superintendent stated that they
were unable to make complete ar
rangements as their team was still
on the road from Moscow. He
stated further, however, that they
were -very favorable in regard to
the Salem tournament although
they would like to play Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday so that
their team could leave for Chicago
without delay.
' A communication was also re
ceived from the principal of Yaki
ma high school stating that their
team would ,not be able to go to
the Chicago tourney' and that they
were favorable to playing here.
They prefer a week end date how
ever, although they intimated that
in case that could not be arranged
they would try to come at a moie
suitable time. ,
Yakima stated that they prefer-;
ed a "round robin" tourney in
stead of the elimination basis.

;A record which was brought to
a final close by winning the state
interscholastic title is the one dis
played by the Salem high school
basketball team. -They started
their season's playing by defeating
the Silverton team two times,

Ashland. West Linn, Dallas, in ad
dition to bewildering the Inde

Willamette university freshmen.
Altogether the team obtained a
total score of 734 points against
the 433 of their opponents, al
though these figures do not in
clude the series of the tournament.
Members of the Salem High
team divided honors very well as
shown by the playing of Ellis,
John Drager, Heenan, with Ashby,
while Drager, Duffy, Nash, Han

question, but its counsel contend
that no such showing had been
made,( and that therefore the
state must be : permitted to solve
the question.
It was regarded as significant
by interested spectators that the
only: arguments Interrupted by
questions from the bench were
those presented by the state's
counsel. The partinance of a num
ber of their statements was made
the subject of comment by Chief
Justice Taft and most of the other
justices, who, in some Instances
asked the attorneys to proceed to
another subject because the one
under discussion was not controll

DEBATE SQUAD IS
GIVEN FINE START
Special Chapel Services and
Fraternity Dinner Are
Given Tuesday
The two men who left last night
on the Willamette university de
bate trip were honored by the
student body Tuesday morning be
fore the chapel services were dis
missed. After a short pep rally
the men and the coach were asked
to speak. The men seem to be
confident that they will give any
team a good run for the decision
although they did not predict a
series of victories.
Joel Berreman. sophomore, said
that while no team could be sure
of victories, if Willamette lost it
would not be for lack of a vigor
ous attempt on the part of the
squad.
Charles Redding, freshman, said
that the team were going to do
their best and that they were
ready to put up a good fight. He
added further, however, that all
any team could do was to pre
sent the facts of the case and
trust to fate for the decision.
When called upon for his opin
ion, Coach Raskcopf said: "I am
confident that these men will do
a piece of work that we will be
proud of." While he refused to
make any further statement as re
gards the outcome, he added that
he considered both men to be good
debaters and that they were well
prepared.
After being entertained at din
ner by the Phi Kappa Pi fraternity
the men were given a send-off at
the Southern Pacific depot at
10:56 last night. The first de
bate will be with the College of
the Pacific at Stockton, Cal., next
Thursday, March 19.

1 Bits For Breakfast I
More and more paving
And even so there will be a
hang-over this year, as there was
last.
Last year 58 blocks were paved.
With the new and enlarged equip
ment, it will be possible to pave
perhaps 75 or SO blocks this year,
in case an early start is made; de
pending on weather conditions.
Bnt there are 100 blocks in sight,
counting the hang-over of last
year
So there will be more paving to
be done in Salem this year than
can : be furnished with even the
larger equipment and better fa
cilities. More communities are asking to
hear about the flax Industry. This
is a fine sign. But, as the Bits
for Breakfast man has said tnd
kept on saying, flax growing from
now on will depend for its in
creased acreage entirely on the se
curing of more retting and scutch
ing plants.
mm V
Oh, yes. the grower might save
his flax for future retting and
scutching plants. He could keep
it a year, and it would be better
by 10 per cent for the keeping, if
kept dry. It would be as good 10
years or 100 years hence. But
few farmers could afford to keep
it over, or could find the ware
house room. Flax is bulky and
takes up a lot of space.
The proprietors of the Roque
fort cheese factory at Falls City,
Teal and Branson, are enlarging
their operations. Hera is the pio
neer plant of what ought to de
velop into an enormous industry

MYSTERY
APPEARS HERE
Alburtus. Mind Reader, to
Open Tnree-Day Engage
ment at the Bligh
If there is a skeleton in your
closet, don't challenge Alburtus
to rattle the bones or if you would
ask something . about your short
comings in life he will mince no
words in telling all about It when
he comes to the Bligh for a three
night's engagement starting Tues
day night, March 17. '
This remarkable man of mystery
is the same that has been the big
gest kind of a sensation for more
than seven consecutive months In
Portland and comes from the big
town direct to the capital for an
engagement all too brief for an
attraction of such importance.
There must be something extra
ordinarily unique in a performer
that has interested the people of
& great city for more than half a
year and it goes without saying
Alburtus will find a warm wel
come in Salem. He will appear
nights only except Thursday after
noon when a matinee will be given
for ladies only, in order to give
ladies an opportunity to ask ques
tions that might be embarrassing
to ask before a Imixed audience.
At this performance Manager
Bligh guarantees that no male at
taches will be in the house and no
men or boys admitted.
Pavement Towards Mehamay
To Be . Lengthened Soon
Before summer is over the pave
ment on the road to Mehama will
have been extended three miles,
according to the decision reached
by the county court yesterday. The
gap of three miles remaining be
tween the pavement and the city
will be closed the following year,
if all goes according to the pres
ent program.'
The next pavement in the road
must be laid by Linn county, as
the road swings over into Linn
county for about nine miles be
fore coming back into Marion
county. At Mehama the road
swings over the Santiam, hut re
enters the county before Gates.
It is stated that a new scari
fier has been secured by the roa4
district at Mill City and steps an
underway to put the old pavement
into good shape. The ruts are to
be ironed out and the road made
smooth . 1 -
