Saturtey Morning, September 22, 1928 - PRICE FIVE CENTS 'CINDERS RAIN I DESPITE L A wl - t r Reporter finds Big Stacks f? Belching Black Snow In Midnight Hours Ordinance Passed Long Ago Directs Abatement of Public Nuisance . - Three huge : stacks extending skyward from the boiler room of i the local paper; mill are kept in f. use 24 hours a day pouring cin- ders Into the air. This fact was determined during . the course of an Investigation con- ducted by The Oregon Statesman : Thursday and Friday of this week.. ' Whether other establishments add their quotas to the sum total of? . . black, sooty charcoal with which Salem Is deluged day after day nnd month' after month, was not'; definitely established. As an example of what is going: on continually in this city, a .Newt Statesman reporter found the three stacks at the paper mill go-j ing full blast at two o'clock Friday; i morning. Taking a walk along Front street and through part of ' the Spaulding Logging company's yards, he saw myriads of huge parks coming out of each of the, Tfaper mill's stacks. There was no t I'ight crew working at Spauld .TV ing's and the fires In the engine 4 , room there bad died down. : Sparks Show at Night ; Whether the fact that most Sa lem residents were not In a posi tion to see what was happening, caused the engine crew at the p$ rer mill to become careless, oar whether the crew Is careless any way, was not determined. Sparks are not readily visible from a dis tance in daylight. ; The sparka see Friday morn ing were hurled from the stacks iind blown a short distance toward Hie heart of Salem's business sec tion before they were extinguish ed. At this point they became the Mack, dirty cinders that make Oregon's capital city unattractive tt visitors and residents alike. Filling the air above the city, they slowly settle down on build ings, streets, sidewalks and! pert r.ons. They filter through window and into office rooms. Many of them are carried by the wind as far as Salem's civic center, where they settle on the flowers and' shrubbery of that otherwise at tractive section. i Citizen's Resentful The New Oregon Statesman's Investigation was conducted after many persons had expressed them selves strongly on the question of the cinders, and suggestion had been given that a check be made on the paper company's stacks during the nighty Attention was called to a city ordinance, now several years old, that never has been heeded from the first moment of its existence. This ordinance recites that the nuisance must be abated. Officials of the paper company announced Friday that some ef fort had been made in past years to cope with the situation. Several hundred dollars worth of equip ment was purchased with the idea of eliminating the nuisance. ' Both before ana after this pur chase, however Salem continued to be the "Cinder City" of the west. TUQV'S FUEE IIS FOB EUROPE -NEW YORK. Sept. 21.

ROBABLY more tires are worn out, more brake-linings burned up, more tem pers frayed and ' more morals endangerefi because of the pop ular practice known as "jay walking" than for any other one reason. The person addict ed to "jay-walking", apparently Is in that class of persons over whom a special providence Is said to watch. The "jay-walker," i mm eased in thoughts which have nothing, apparently, to do with things mundane, serenely disregards all traffic regulations, rules of the road, laws of courtesy, nature and self-preservation. The con firmed "jayrwalker" would make those reported as prone to "rush in where angels fear to tread" look like Solomon by mental comparison. Wherefore, knowing that there are many "Jay-walkers in Salem, the New Oregon Statesman under took to find out what this city thinke of them. Here is the re sult of inquiries put to a num ber of residents of this city: MRS. J. A. MILLS, deputy county clerk, said: "I don't know of any one law for which enforcement has been made more ' necessary than the law against 'jay walking.' With ab solute disregard for the law, person after person will take his life in his hands and walk arrows our most thickly con gested and widest streets. I cer tainly think something ought to be done to put a stop to the practice and to make pedestri ans cross only at the proper places." CHARLES NEEDHAM, taxi driver, said: "Jay-walkers aren't a nuisance If they watch where they are going and keep out of the way. It is the ones that rush out from behind a parked car or look the wrong way or don't look at all that cause the trouble. A driver hasn't a chance to stop, even if he is going only 15 miles an hour, when one of them steps from behind a car right in front of hie machine. I would fine them for reckless walking. Jay walking without looking is like committing suicide." . ." - FRANK M INTO, chief of the Salem police department, said: "There's a city ordinance against jay-walking, but there will be a lot- of It done next week, during the fair. Ati tempting to enforce the ordi nance would be useless, for most of the violators are from out of town. Jay-walking will have to stop next year when we put in the traffic signals, for then it will be plain suicide to walk out into an Intersection." A. C. BOHRNSTEDT, real tor, said: "I admit I 'jay-walk', or rather cut across street oc casionally, but I think jay walking is something that ought to be prohibited. Of course it is dangerous, especial ly on the more crowded corners, r think automatic signals , should be installed at the cor- ner of Commercial and State, at ! least. This thing is getting to ibe a fright at that coiner, and is possibly juet as bad at othes." f ! PETE REINHART, member of the state traffic dirision said: "Personally, I think they are very silly. As for doing anything about them, well, the 'Lord usually provides a way. The jay-walkers usually get by with it, but, if they don't, it's just too had, now ain't It?" J. SEAMSTKR. bus driver, said: "It would Uke too long "to think up that many mean things." Edward Hickman New Member of Catholic Church SAN QUENTTN. Cal Sept. 11 (AP).

For ll minutes the sophomores, suc cessfully prevented the freshmen from climbing a 25-foot pole and bringing down the bearcat skin fastened at the top. Coach Lestle Sparks was timer and master of ceremonies. The sophomore class had a larger representation than a year ago, but the freshmen had a slight advantage in numbers. The sophomores were liberal in their nse of tacks, staple and wire to fasten the skin to the' pole, and as a further means of defense they had applied a thick coat of grease to the upper half of the pole. Spirited Contest The contest was spirited throughout, but the freshmen were unable to raise any of their number half way up to the covet ed skin. Following the fracas, the freshmen as losers plunged into the mlllstream back of the campus. But the yearlings were not through. They reurned en masse from Jbeir ducking snd attacked the sophomores, who by this time were straggling back to the gym nasium by twos and threes.

Labish district east of Brooks, while ' a fire that had destroyed more than 25 acres of valuable timber continued Its work of de vastation although it was tempo rarily under control. No estimate of the damage was possible to night. Buildings on five farms whirh were ro the path of the flames, all were saved -after desperate fight ing. Efforts tonight were direct ?d principally toward saving the onion houses with their valuable contents, and indications were that this would be done although the task had appeared hopeless at times during the afternoon. Origin In Haystack According to unconfirmed re ports, the fire started from a straw stack which had been burned sev eral days ago. after the recent rain, and was believed extin guished at the time, but continued to smoulder and finally broke est again and began to spread. Timber on the John Hess farm was burned over early today, when the fire was first noticed. From there the flames spread to the M. D. Henning farm, then to the E. G. Hornschuch place and the tim ber owned by Ed and Frank Weia- man. The Charles MendenhaU property was the last to be reached.
