Disapproval is being voiced by
Salem people who like to make

Falls, at what they believe is too
much commercialization of a na
tural beauty spot.
One local business man, who be
lieves the falls area should be pre
served for the enjoyment of all
with but a nominal fee, express
ed the objectionable commercial
features in a letter to the local
chamber of commerce, which has
spent considerable time and mon
ey in advertising the falls. The
letter, however, was not present
ed to that body following relation
of the facts to one of the chamber
officials.
Initial Fee Raised
His objections, like those of
others, are two-fold, First, camp
ground people at the entrance to
the falls have increased the fee
from 25 cents a car to 10 cents per
person, or practically doubled it.
This for visitors from town who
stay only an hour or so.
Second, a barricade has been
erected between the camp ground
and falls land, proper, presum
ably to charge an additional fee

ELEVENTH ANNUAL BARGAIN DAY
PERIOD HERE TO BEGIN FRIDAY
Sixty Salem merchants, all leaders ln their . respective fields
of merchandising, have already signified their intention to par
ticipate in the eleventh annual bargain day on Friday of this
week, June 29, and it is expected that a much larger number will
be enrolled before the day arrives.
As in the past, Friday will be bargain day, but many of the
merchants will continue to offer the same low prices on Sat
urday. .Exceptional offerings will be made in all lines of businses,
with the specific intention of further establishing Salem's repu
tation as a place where the best may be obtained at surprisingly
low prices. The Statesman and the Capital Journal are sponsor
ing bargain day again this year.
Bargain day, which has been an annual event of great In
terest to out of town people as well as local residents for so
mffny years, promises to offer this year bigger values and a
greater variety than ever before, on account of the increased
number .of business firms taking part.
Particular attention is to be paid o out of town customers,
who on the bargain days will be extended every courtesy within
the city.
Special window displays will be made by many of the mer
chants, and goods so arranged that even casual inspection will

A ball game, checkers and at

The youthful bandits were
dressed in at the prison a year

months attracted large number
of visitors to the institutions.
Since then they have become a
permanent part of the prison ma
chinery, and their names are sel

visit the penitentiary.
Officials said the boys have

not violated any of the prison
rules. Hugh,- the youngest mem
