Salem' in already an onion center bqt this cjty shojuldejf

of Oregon in 1923, and nearly ill the onion setssent 371
cars of Onions and 2,000,000 pounds of onion sets to the out
side markets : ; ';- . j; . .' ; .' ..
! : And in 1924 the Salem district sent to market nearly 50C
of the whole 606 cars of onions snipped to outside markets.

district' aloive.' to Chicago ha t year, helping to" confirm s the

Maltese Cat Returns to
::';vH6me '&rrd:Vf
- - " ' - -. " ' ' ' " ' '
Buster, Born Here and Taken to Southern Oregon In Box,
. Returns to Salem After Making Precarious Trip
125 Miles; Owner Tells Story
.; - You don't seem to be able to keep 'em away from Salem.
Remember when Bobbie, G. .W. Brazier's big Collie dog
came back from Indiana where he was lost and made his way
on foot clear back to Silverton where his master lived?
Bobbie's feet were all sore from the long trip and his toe
nails were worn off.but-he. kept on and on. He knew where
he lived even though he had made the trip across the United
States in an automobile. But he came home even though
he had to cross many streams and
hoosa between many cross roads.
And now we have a cat that did
he same thing; The cat didn't
'ome as far and he took longer to
ome but then a cat can't, walk
L'ji fast as a big dog-nd maybe
,te loitered along the way and
l topped to visit other cats. -J
1 The cat's name la Buster. He is
a large Maltese t and was born at
S4S SUte street about eight years
go. Buster has a I big. brother
tamed Bull. Fred C. Sefton. Sr.,
iroraiaent Pacific?, Coast? printer,
vwns t both the t cats! and t raised
hem from kittens and known all
.' bout them and can vouch for this
.tory. h -. ,j '' . .
This is the way Mr. Sefton tells
lbout it. writing from his ranch
tear Yoncalla, Oregon, where e
4 now living: ; ! ,
: , "About three years ago, shortly
Iter filing on my homestead here,
brought two large Maltese cats
hich we had raised from kittens.
Tiey were born at 645 Statesman
treet, about eight years ago and
' yere full brothers. One we called
.'nil and the other Buster. The
ats were brought, from Salem In
ay machine at aight-inside a
i mall box. - l" - ' " '
"When I got them to the ranch
" hey were released j- Inside ' the
aou.se and were kept there for a
lay or two after I returned to Sa
em. However, the first time Bus
ier sallied forth one ! of the dogs
ook after him and put him up a
jee. My son, who was on the
anch at the time, tried to get bim
iown. but was unsuccessful. In
he morning he was gone and with
he exception of once or twice wa
sever seen again. We of course
hough t that he was lost or had
een killed by a wildcat.
. A . few weeks , ago ! we received
t letter from our daughter in law,
Mrs. Fred C. Sefton, Jr., who
.tated that while In Salem recent-
y, she saw Buster in a neighbor's
house. i "1
"We could hardly! credit this,
but on a recent trip to Salem we
called at the address ! given us by
jur daughter, and sure enough,
here was Buster.
"It. would be Impossible for us
io mistake him, and; besides, al-
hough he had heen re hrlstoned
3oy Blue," he readily answered to
his old name of Buster when I
jpoke to him. i
"The neighbor mentioned; Mrs.
M. J. Melchoir, how living at 2165
outh Church street, but who for
merly lived a 655 North; Six
teenth, said that Buster came to
the- house - where he was, born.
aarly last spring, about a year ago.
'"Therefore, he must have been
the better part -of-two years in
making the' trip from the ranch
here, to Salem, This is all the
more remarkable when It is known
that we are 11 miles from the
nearest town. In an almost Inac
cessible region,: and that, in order
to: reach ' the highway, the cut
Aiduld be compelled to cross sort
ers! streams, .as well as a densely
Umbered section of the country.'
tJHe was naturally of a wild dis-
oeition and could not be handled
by any one, with the exception of
Mrs. Sefton and myself. Mrs. Mel-
choir says that it was a couple of
weeks before they could get close
enough to him to put hands on
him.
"Bull is still on the ranch and
we hope at a later date to bring
Buster back.
''Yoncalla Is 114 miles south of
Salem, so the! cat traveled alto
gether 125 miles in order to make
his way back to his old home.
Mr. Sefton,! who ! has himself
lived in Salem for many years,
concludes his letter with the ob
servation that any. one doubting
this story may1 see the cr.t at r.'.
Mlchoira home.
