journeyed westward from Chicago
tonight toward South Dakota to
his summer residence in the
Ulack Hills.
At the end of the trip tomorrow

in an address at Ham

By It-I MeSliorry
That premier musical group,
the Australian National hand, vis
ited Salem yesterday and delight
ed th people with two unexcelled
concerts in the Capitol theater. A
few years ago Australia and
America met on the battlefields
with war as the inspiration. Last
night i he meeting was in perfect
unity with music serving as the
inspiration.
Coming away from the concerts
of yesterday the feelings of the
listener concerning the hand are
indeed hard to describe. The
quality of music rendered ap
pe;'"d both to the highest of the
musical highbrows, to the boy on
the street who plays the month
organ, to the followers of Gounod
and to the jazziest of the jazz
fiends. Throughout the concert
the vast audience listened with the
greatest f attention to the lyrical
variety and loveliness of the work
of the visitors from the Antipodes.
One of the most noticeable fea
tures of the Australian National
band is its versatility. Reveling
in -"So Is Your Obi Lady" much
to the delight of all you are great
ly pleased with the sudden change
to grand opera and church music.
Nothing could he finer than the
reverential manner in which the
grand old tune. "Nearer My Clod
to Thee" was played last night.
it h one's eyes closed there came
the perfect illusion of being in
church and hearing the majestic
organ tones. With grand opera
they were no less proficient and
performed as one great orchestra.
Throughout the entire concert
their playing was a revelation
with exhilarating rythm and un
animity as the chief characteris
tics of the performance. The

the minimum price of Royal Anne
cherries was fixed at S cents a

Present at the meeting was a
representative group of cherry
growers from all sections of the

unanimously on the minimum
price, after hearing reports from
other sections. On the basis of
the drop reports alone, an even
higher minimum would have been
justified, but 8 cents was consid

some holdover from last year.

of Grizzly at the

Among the Indians, who
back In the sixties camped at
times along the Rlckreall
river at Dallas, was an old
fellow whdnr ; the whites
called Grizily. He was one
of the Rogue River tribe that
had been located in 1S55 on
the Grand Ronde; Indian res
ervation. He had had an
awful fight, in southern Ore
gon, with a grizzly bear and
had been left badly crippled
by the encounter.
The boys who In those
days attended the old Dallas
Academy would get Grizzly
to tell of the fight. The In
dian was great on pantocaine,
V and as the jargoa poured
forth the story, hands, feet
and swaying body dramati
cally pictured the furious en
counter that ended with the
Indian killing the grizzly
with a knife. . ,
Among the. boys who lis
tened to and watched Grizzly
perform, in those far away
. days, was Ev. Shelton,
