W. Elgin Among Winners
In Sweepstakes
The show rooms of the Valley
Motor company ran riot with color
and perfume and beauty Saturday
afternoon. The first Willamette
valley flower show was In prog
ress and it will be open again to
day with the same beautiful dis
play. This show is the largest
thing of the kind ever undertaken
by the Salem Garden club and
from all evidence it Is a complete
eucccap. '
Hundreds of people passed
through the exhibit rooms
Saturday afternfetn and passed
Judgment in delighted exclama
tions on the profusion of entries
which apparently included about
every type of flower In bloom in
the Willamette valley today.
Four large classifications were
made for the entries: Horticult
ural, decorative, commercial and
one large group for community
clubs and garden clubs entries as
a unit.
Prizes were awarded for sweep
stakes in each classification and
a grand sweepstakes for the
whole show. This prize went to
Ernest Iufer for the wonderful
display made in a rock garden,
complete In miniature perfection
even to the fish swimming in the
pool. This pool had to be cement
ed into place in the early hours
of Friday night In order to be
ready for use Saturday.

In Horticulture
Sweepstakes In the horticultural
division went to Mrs. M. R. Sav
age on a large basket of superb
sweet peas. In the decorative sec
tion Mrs. II. W. Elgin won the
sweepstakes prize on an arrange
ment which seemed to include a
few each of every flower now In
bloom.
For the sweepstake prize for
community entries Albany walked
off with the honor with two ta
bled full of splendid displays. In
the commercial display Ernest
Iufer took sweepstakes prize. His
rock garden is worth a few more
prizes If there had been more to
give.
"The pleasing thing about the
tfCSfcr show Is that there are so
many clubs displaying from dis
tricts near Salem. Among these
who deserve honorable mention
are Salem Heights. Englewood.
Monmouth. Liberty, Hayesville.
Albany and the Sweet Briar club,
each with delightful arrangements
and excellent specimens.
Other Innovations rhich stand
out In memory like treasures are
the special arrangement made for
a living room and a dining room
showing the Invaluable effect of
flowers as a part of room decora
tions. These were arranged by Mrs.
Ray Gilbert and Mrs. B. O.
Schucklng. And still another thing
of outstanding beauty and origin
ality were the shadow pictures
placed In the small show room up
stalra. These pictures are repro
ductions of paintings or prints and
are accomplished with real flow
era, real fruit and furniture ac
cessories. One especially lovely re
production Is of a painting of Ce
zanne. It is placed on the east
wall of the room. Mr.s W. H.
Burghardt and Mrs. L. H. Tarp

In this same room are two

Final Figure to Be Forward
ed to Washington This
Week, Outlook
With all additions and subtrac
tions to date, the Salem census
schedules showed a total at the
closing hour last evening of 26.
251. The finals before being sent
to Washington will not be far
from that figure, for the office
force Is hurrying, with the hope
of being nearly through by the
end of the present week.
One of the Salem portfolios
showed a 90 year old couple, with
the date of first marriage of each
at 20 years. They had been liv
ing together for 70 years. This
stands as the record for the dis
trict, so far as the clerks have
noted.
The clerk m the Salem census
office, In charge of all the spe
cial work, like distribution, man
ufactures and mines, hotels, con
tractors, and drainage districts,
all outside of population and
farms, is closing up that depart
ment is practically done, except
ing for a few scattering schedules.
All population and farm sched
ules are either In the office, or
reported to be on the way In, with
the one exception of the Yamhill
district where are Jocated the la
borers in the camps of the Flora
Logging eompany, the closing of
which Is still a vexing problem.
The vouchering of all accounts
should be finished In the next few
days. The checks for the vouchers
come from Portland, generally
with promptness more so than in
any former eensus year.
There will be more than a full
box of fruit schedules to go to
Washington, from the three coun
ties of Marion, Yamhill and Polk,
where all farm enumerators were
required to take even the num
ber of fruit trees. This is the first
time such a census was ever un
dertaken. This was done in select
ed counties in the states where
the fruit industry is a major one.
The full number of acres In fruit
will be announced at the end of
the work. of the clerks In the Sa

Tons Of Food Assure That
Guardsmen Won't Starve
If food, fun and work help
L)iild soldiers, 3,000 members of
the Oregon national guard are all
timed for a real building-up pro
gram for two weeks, beginning
June 11 with opening day of the
annual training cam, About
2,500 guardsmen, Including a
hundred from Salem, will be at
the encampment at Clatsop Plains,
while 500 will be at Fort Stevens.
The tons of food stuffs which
have been hauled to the two
camps within the past few days
looks almost like one of the fa
mous "believe It or not" cartoons.
Here're a few of the principal
Items on which the state soldiery
will feed:
Thirty-three hundred pounds of
bacon, 120 boxes Oregon dried
prunes,, nine tons of beef. 20.000
loaves of bread, one and three
fourth tons (3,500 pounds)' of
butter, 10 tonsc of fresh vege
tables, tree tons of coffee, 60,90
eggs, 10,500 pounds of sugar,
three tons of flour (mostly for
flapjacks), one ton of onions,
and 18 tons of potatoes, 1,000
chickens (for Sunday dinaer). Of
coarse tbes old army bean Is in
the running, with more than a
ton of these to be consumed. A
thousand pounds of salt will be
vsed to season food.
And who's to do the cooking?
Each company has two cooks, and
they will prepare all meals from
a uniform camp menu: Each com
pany also has Its own mess hall.

Mott'a letter Indicated that
Lonergan's lead was not as for
midable as It appeared on the sur
face inasmuch as he concluded
the 1929 session with 34 signers
to his candidacy for the speaker

list has dwindled to 18 due to
failure of many members to ran

Lonergan's effort to line up

Congressional leaders have set
June 20 as their adjournment
goal.
In the house this is regarded as
a comparatively simple task once
the tariff bill is out of the way,
but several matters are pressing
for attention in the senate which
might twist askew the plans for
ending the session.
A veterans' measure holds the
possibility for another tangle be

Senate republican leaders have
given assurance that the Veterans'
relief measure recently passed by
the house, will be taken up and
voted upon In the senate before
adjournment. After conferences
with administration spokesmen
they fear the president will veto
the measure in Its present form.

Wisconsin Democrats Go On
Record For Control of

MILWAUKEE, June 7 (AP)
Wisconsin democrats today se
lected three candidates for nom
ination as governor of the state,
prospective nominees for other
state offices and adopted resolu
tions for a platform declaring for
state control of liquor and de

stores.
Charles Hammersley, Shor

Fox, Chilton, vetertan democrat
party officer, and L. J. Chassee,
West Depere professor, were se
lected as candidates for the guber
natorial nomination.
The platform favored submis
sion by congress to state consti

ment to repeal or modify "the
18th amendment; so that control
of the liquor problem might be
restored to the states.
Decision is Slated
In Various States
WASHINGTON, June 7 (AP)
Prohibition is up for a decisive
voters' decision in the June state
primary elections.
In Maine the bellwether state
and. one of the first to adopt
state prohibition, and In New
Jersey it is an Issue that has1 been
baldly placed before the elector
ate as a choosing point between
candidates. In Minneepta the
question of a referendum has been
broached.
T,It is the first time," Franklin
W. Fort, New Jersey has said,
""that the question of whether the
18th amendment to the constitu
tion shall be retained or repealed
has been the clearcnt and un
mistakable issue In any stale In
the United States."
Fort is a dry candidate for the
republican nomination for sena
tor from New Jersey, against
three men who have expressed
varying degrees of opposition to
prohibition. They are Dwlght
Whitney Morrow, Joseph S. Fre
linghysen and John A. Kelly.
New Jersey Result
Will Be Watched
New Jersey always has been a
wet state. But as It comes In now
In the van of elections In these
Items when discussion of prohibi
tion has reached a new high mark
of intensity the probable result
takes on much Importance in
gauging sentiment on the 18th
amendment.
- Morrow, an Amherst classmate
of Calvin Coolidge, and Ambass
ador to Mexico, is standfnf un
equlvocably for repeal of the 18th
amendment; he wants restored to
the states the Individual right to
determine their attitude on the
liquor question.
Frelinghuysen. a former sena
tor, has a platform advocating
governmental liquor control. A
"regular republican opposed to
prohibition" is the way Kelly has
designated Himself.

Banks of the Btate of Oregon ;

and between $300,000 and $350,
000 next year. This was the es
timate made by John Carkin, se
cretary of the state tax commis
sion in revised figures announced
here Saturday.
The estimates announced by
Mr. Carkin bear out statements
made by members of the special
tax investigating committee that
the banks will now be required
to pay approximately 50 per cent
of the total paid under the old
bank share tax which was invali
dated by the decision of the fed
eral courts in 1928.

Carkin, in his statement, de
clared that he was not only sur
prised at the amount of tax to be
contributed by the banks under
the intangibles and exicse tax
laws, but was pleased with the
manner in which the bank offi
cials and stockholders had re
sponded. At the time the intangibles and
excise tax laws were first euggest
ad there was considerable differ
ence of opinion expressed as to
the amount of tax that would be
paid by these institutions and
their stockholders. Some tax ex
perts declared that te amount
would not exceed 20 per cent of
the amount formerly paid under
the bank share tax law. Other
estimates placed the returns as
low as 10 per cent.
