C Peaaey Osv M eon WARD TusKed Well Known Civic Landmark To Give Way to Service Station This Week This week one of the best known houses of Salem is to he shitted from its present location oa Church and Court streets and mored to North Summer street. The property la the Eugene Breyman house, built In 1884 and now owned by Breyman Boise. The land on which the house was erected has been leased for a ten-year period to the Texaco oil company plans shortly to erect a station. w aaaa filling The Boise house was consider ed one of the finest homes in the city when it was erected 4$ years ago. It is full two-stories in height with a full basement and spacious porches! Plans were Jointly drawn by Holly Cornell anda Emll DeNeff, . who also drewthe specifications. The con struction of the house was 'In charge of Mr. Cornell. House Being Mored To Lot Beside Stream The lot to which Mr. aid Mrs. R. P. Boise -who reside ia the house, are harlng the structure removed is the Boise lot on the West side of Summer street. Just south of the north mill stream. This property was ac quired by the Boise family in the '508. The Center and Church street location is considered one of the best semi-business locations in the city. Originally half the block was owned by a somewhat notorious character known as "Patcheye" Burns. He was both a prominent saloon-keeper and politician and conspired in civil war days to bring about the elec tion of Colonel Nesmith and L. D. Baker to the United States senate. Breyman Buys Lot From Owner At that time an overflow creek ran across town and oc casionally flooded the property. Baker, disgusted when water one winter entered his house, sold it to Breyman. Subsequntly the lot was filled, the old Baker house removed and a new house built. The latter house was then sold to State Treasurer Webb who re moved it - onto a lot on North' Church across from the present Episcopalian church. Only 95 by 105 feet of the Boise lot on Court and Church streets has been leased, a strip 37 by 105 feet being held by the Breyman Boise to protect- the noted English walnut tree on that site. This tree has been ac claimed as the largest in the; United States. H. M. Rogers, city engineer, measured the tree in 1917 and found it to be 12 feet, six inches in circumference, with a spread of 102 feet and a night of 93 feet. The walnut tree was planted In 1896 by Eugene Breyman when four plantings were ordered from a California nursey. Eugene planted two ef the trees and his brother planted two. Three of the four hare been cut down. Senator McXary ha.? designated the remaining tree as one of the "honor trees" of the United States. We sell For Sale signs. No Trespassing signs.

Her reflections are herewith recounted. Dear Donette: - I was boarding this train for the east when, I left you "at Van couver, B. C; last night, i had spoken ef the thrill it gare me. Do yoo remember "Between the Gates," written by B. F. Taylor in the 70's? He prefaces the book by his poem on "The Overland Train," with Its opening lines "From Hell Gate to Gold Gate And the Sabbath unbroken, A sweep coninental And the Saxon yet spoken ' Fresh and sweet as spring rains By seas with no fears in them, God'a garmented plains." I can readily see why he was moved to write so delightfully. It was a new experience this ride on the first of the transcontinen tal lines. Until that time, 19,000 AVERTED FOR TIME Reall gasoline prices down for a short time Friday to 22c at six service stations "here, went back with a rush to the 23c mark Sat urday and on the Salem front all was quiet, at least momentarily, in the matter of gas price reduc tion. M. W. Sawyer, manager Of the six stations who made the sudden cut Friday, laid blame for the break on a telegram from Port land informing him that gasoline prices on all the coast had drop ped. Subsequently the telegram was countermanded and Sawyer was informed that the only drop had occurred in Portland, Seattle and Spokane. Before the changed order came. Sawyer had dropped the price one cent on all his stations and for a short time Friday Salem gasoline consumers had the advantage of low price. Gaskill Takes Position With Realty Company W. L. Gaskill, who has been in the realty business here for a number of years, and who was associated with the Parker Realty company in Portland for some time, has taken the position of sales manager of the Cooperative Realty company here and will have complete charge of the real estate department and all sales men on the force. With .this addition, Ray , Fasching, owner and manager of the concern, will devote his en tire time to the Apple Vendor sales work and with the sales force in that department. Fasch ing says the apple vendor busi ness has grown so rapidly it is necessary for him to tire It his entire time and personal atten tion.

Train Excels for Comfort -We may talk about the auto aa a means of transportation but with a long trip ahead, nothing en equal the comforts and conven iences of the transeontinetal train. With no cares or responsibilties we can settle back for -the 3.000 miles across the country. So here find myself at home with the C. P. R. for tire days and nights. I've had a. good nights rest and thanks to medium teperature and air unusually good for a sleeper. The morning finds us quietly waiting for the road to be cleared, for rain has caused a landslide ahead. By the time breakfast is over we are again on our way. There seems to be three ways to pass the time on a train. First, by looking through windows to things outside; second, by study ing our fellow passengers , inside or getting acquainted with them; third by thinking our own thoughts. We usually begin with the first. . I can plainly see that my de1 scrlptlve adjectives are going to give out In writing of this wonder ful scenery. I once knew of a girls who for the first time pass ed through these awe-inspiring mountains and canyons and by these soaring streams. She sud denly seemed to sense is great ness for stopping her gum chew ing for a few minutes, she took a long look, then turning around drew a deep breath and said: "My, ain't nature grand!"

Cook, president of the Salem Credit Men's association. Cook address ed a letter to all civic and busi ness groups asking their support in giving prominence to this goal. He asked that the organizations take the proposed slogan before their memberships with the view of having it adopted. "The population of Salem ac cording to reliable estimates is 29.000 at the present time," Mr. Cook said. "At the end of June, 1920, yhen the last U. S. census wai taken, the population was 17,700. This shows an increase of only six per cent per annum from that time until the end of 1929. "Taking the present estimated population and assuming the same increae of sU per cent a year, which I consider conserva tive." said Cook, "I bellere we can atuin at this same ratio a population of 61,900 by 1940." .The suggestions ia the letter sent by Mr. Cook to the civic or ganisations was to use the slogan or city stationery, in public adver tising. In chamber booklets and other places where it could do ef fective advertising for Salem.

NEWELL ENTERS RACE Terrific Political Upheaval Now Expected Here SUPER-PLATFORM TOLD ' Newell Williams, legionnaire. lawyer, financier and now candi date for the office of mayor of 9 a 1 e m. after the urging of friends" has arrived at a decision. It is to run for mayor! Williams is in earnest about it. Scoffing the report of the oppo sition, such as he found It, Wil liams said late Saturday that he wanted at least 500 circulators. "I will not guarantee salaries or expenses," said Williams. Declaring the first essential of any good mayoralty candidate was a platform, Williams aunounced a 13-point program. He character ised it as a "Williams-for-mayor- grandstand." It follows: 1. Bigger and better manholes; covers to tit. 2; Free copies of Roberts rules of order, dries snd other text books for eouncilmen. 3. Elimination of the official spokesman and the establishment of a board of utterance censor ship. No utterances to be uttered as well as other districts. The program was short but satisfying, little Dickie Stearns giving sev eral numbers on the accordian. J. W. Maruny gave a very inter esting talk on landscaping and answered many questions that were asked him. L. P. Campbell, commissioner of the Boy Scouts organization and his deputy, R. G. Brady, both gave splendid talks on that subject thereby acquaint ing the people with facts relative to that organization heretofore unknown to many. H. F. Zinser, chairman of the Boy Scouts troop committee introduced the new scoutmaster, C. W.
