C .hUWi.... wXmL ,1 ..d-lfJD',','! j) : . - ' , The federal cherry investigation, Ktheduled to take place in Port land, Thursday and Friday of this week, will be held, in Salem the same days, if lft fee urgent tele grams sent by Senator Charles McNary, Representative W. ' C. Hawley and J. G. Hogg, secretary of the Salem Cherry Growers' as sociation, have the desired - effect on the federal tariff commission officers, Connor and Lourie, now in San Francisco. As Salem is by far the outstand ing district in cherry production in the northwest, it was thoughH best to change the schedule from Portland to this city. As Eugene has much the same problem as Salem, the local association will handle the lower valley city's share of the conference. The I'alles association will also be rep resented. i Dr. Connor will conduct the stndy of production problems and Lourie will confer with growers concerning processing difficulties. Present plans are arranged so that Salem and Eugene will be granted one day In the ' conference, and The Dalles will take up the re mainder of the session, giving all three associations more benefit than If group discussions were held. ! The conference will take place at the Salem Chamber of Com merce auditorium if the change in plans Is effected. Connor and Lourie have just returned frcjfci the Orient where they have com pleted a special study of the cherry growing industry in connection with systems employed on the Pa cific coast of the United States. . STADIUM PLANNED HERE Stnndartl Football Field and Trak Provide at JiesJie Salem is to have "a "stadium," even though it isn't on a par with some of those which grace the larger cities on the coast, it was indicated Monday, when it was re ported that work on the horse shoe bowl at Leslie junior high school was under way. The plans of the architects, James & Bartholomew, called for an athletii field south of the Jun ior high building," in a depression which forms a natural setting for it and will permit of the "bowl" seating arrangement with a min imum of excavation. The field will include a stand ard football field and quarter mile running track. At present, only a few rows of seats will be provid ed. ANOTHER WONDERFUL CHANCE FOR A In the future no. northbound mail trains will leave Salem after 5:10 a. m. each day until 5':30 p. m., according to Arthur E. Gib- bard, assistant postmaster, who was commenting on the ntail serv ice out of Salem, yesterday. The only other -way. in which mail may be sent to Portland is by the way of Albany and Corvallis. This train leaves Salem at. 10:13 a. m. and the mail would arrive in Portland at 5:15 p m. The schedule of mail trains ar riving and leaving Salem at the present time follows: Northbound 5:10 a. m., 5:30 p. m. and 9:05 p. m; Southbound 3:13 a. m., 10:13 a. m. and 10:00 p. m. The last twq named are fast California mail trains. Formerly the trains arriving in Salem at 9:00 a. m. and at 1:35 p. m. carried mail; but the former has been discontinued and the lat ter does not carry mail now owing to the fact that it has been made a local train coming from Eugene with no connections with the Cal ifornia trains. The change in the mail schedule not only affects the mail leaving and arriving in Salem; but also affects the connections with the eastern trains. ' The northbound mail train, which leaves here at 5:30 p. m. makes connections with east bound trains; but the mail leaving here at 9:05 p. m. falls to make connections with the 11:00 o'clock train leaving Portland for all eastern points. The change of mail schedule (Continued on page 8.) i AMUNDSEN HERE TODAY Log of LongAir Trip Attracts a Great Heal of Attention Souvenirs of the famous airship, "Norge," and -a picture of the-log may be seen in the window of the Burnett Bros, jewelry store to day.
