SAMUEL VEATCH VISITS Conductor Faithful Over Long Period of Work NOW ON RETIRED LIST Samuel Veatch of Portland, a rstirel Southern Pacific railroad conductor, who has held several other high official positions with that company, is spending the week In Salem. Mr. Veatch is no doubt known to more people in the Pacific coast and northwest states than any other one man !u this territory, through his years of contact with the traveling pub lic in his official positions and continuous travels over all branch es of the Southern Pacific lines from Portland to San Francisco. Mr. Veatch came from the wor thy old Veatch-Knox stock of sturdy pioneers who crossed the plains behind ox teams and set tled in southern Lane county at what Is now known as Cottage Grove in the late fifties. Mr. Veatch has inherited many of the sterling Qualities of his honored pioneer ancestry. In Salem as in all of the other larger cities ot the Willamette valley he has a host of staunch friends and ac quaintances with whom he enjoys a-1, occasional visit. Likes Growth of Salem He expresses no little surprise at the rapid growth and develop ment of the valley cities. Salem in particular, during the past few years, and says this progress and advancement is only Just getting under way. Mr. Veatcn is now on the re tired list of Southern Pacific em ployees; a condition in which he is allowed to travel anywhere by train or stage over the whole great system, with a pension sufficient to keep the woolf from the door for himself and wife. They spent part of the winter with a married daughter la Texas. They may go and come as they please, without a care as to how the next meal be provided, or la what maaner they are to pay for whatever new clothing they may need. Now, that will seem aa ideal way to spend one's life, to maay readers of these lines. But Mr. Veatch is not entirely satisfied. He has spent an ordi nary life time In contact with the public, mee'ing many thousands of people each year, and having work and responsibilities to his liking, and he mioses all these things these pleasant contacts and the thought that he Is filling a useful place in the. work-a-day woria, in tne tnick or the struggle. Man never in but always is to be blessed, or something like that, said some one, truthfully. Sam Veatch is well along In years, but he is by no means old in either appearance or ability to enjoy the physical comforts of life. He has a good appetite and Is young in spirit and capacity for duty. That is the picture. A pleasant one. But it is not the perfect pic ture, any more than a painter has ever successfully counterfeited a perfect sunset or put on canvas an absolute likeness of a lily or represented with the use of his brush la all Its perfection the rose. Some day, la the tar distant fu ture, when Sam Veatch arrives on the dot oa schedule time la the realm of the fields of asphodel beyond the stars, this humble paragYapher ventures a guess that he will begin at oace a search for a Shasta Limited or some other crack train, so that he may busy hi.nself with the duties and re sponsibilities of the work he has loved and adorned oa this side of the pearly gates. Mrs. Sanford New Chairman Finance Group Mrs. Rex Sanford was named chairman of the finance commit tee of the T. W. C.

Mrs. Johnson underwent a major operation at the Hubbard Mineral Springs San atorium Wednesday of last week. Miss Elizabeth Rasnick is assist ing in the home during Mrs. Johnson's illness. HE ELEPH IS FH OF SHOW Tusko Takes Special Car to Contain Bulk; Bigger Than Jumbo When the Al G. Barnes circus trains pall into Salem Saturday. May 18, there will be the usual crowds on hand to see Tusko, largest elephant la the world, a foot taller and a ton and a half heavier than the famous Jumbo. At every stand the circus plays, a nuge gathering greets "the last of the mammoths." The other ele phants are detrained separately. When Tusko finally appears, a great "Oh!" arises from hundreds of lips, and then a moment of si lence as this mastodon stalks like some fabled beast of mythology from his specially built car. When building the steel ele phant car for Tusko. the shopmen of the Al G. Barnes railway forces were up against it. No car could be high enongh to accommodate the giant creature without violat ing American Railway association clearance rulings. Finally, they worked out a praticable means of lowering the car floor. Tusko will be seen in the beautiful spectac ular extravaganza. "Alladin and the Parade of Gold." latest edi tion, which opens the show.
