Season Player

team was picked this year, four of
the coaches of the conference were
unanimous in declaring Leo

consistent losses than any other
man on the Willamette team.

Attorney Asks Money Offer
ed for Capture of Sloat, '
Two Years Ago -
City Recorder Poulsen is in re
ceipt of a letter from Frank B.
Layman, attorney for C. C. Fergu
son, requesting that the city make
good the money it owes to Fergu
son for information that led to
the arrest and conviction of Cloy
A. S'.oat. moral pervert, some
three years ago. '
The city offered a reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction
of Sloat, a school teacher of Linn
county who bad assaulted two
young girls in Salem March 5,
1922. The city attorney gave the
opinion that as a state law gov
erned the. crime, the city had no
authority to post the reward. As
a result, the amount has not been
paid.
Layman holds that there is an
ordinance of the city of Salem
concerning the crime, and it is
upon the existence of this that
he bases his claim for collection
of the reward. He asks that the
matter be brought up at the nex.t
meeting of the city council.

Erixon Says Tourist
Travel Would More Than
Return Investment
Construction of a paved or ma
cadamized road between Salem
and Silver Creek falls was advo
cated by Fred Erixon at the lunch
eon of the Salem Kiwanians yes
terday. He declared that the
Silver Creek falls have never been
fully appreciated by Salem.
Tourist travel would more than
return the investment of the road,
he maintained. Upon his motion,
the Kiwanians instructed the
president to appoint a committee
of one to work in unison with
representatives of the Rotary and
Lions clubs of the city to see what
can he done toward getting the
road.
Directors of the Kiwanis club
and members of the public affairs
committee had alreaay sanctioned
