It was born Chemeketa, for the Indian name of the camping place that consti tuted the site of Salem, called at first by. whites Chemeketa plain. After ad for a term of years, it was The Willamette hotel. When It : was rebuilt, and enlarged, around the turn of the present century, it was named Marion, for the county, cr for General Marlon of the Revolutionary ; war, whose name the pioneer legislators adopted when , they made the change from Champoeg district and countr. In pioneer times, a ' hotel was generally called a house Hotel Originally Errrted in 1870 i " - Hence it was the Chemeketa House when opened, - the latter part of 1870. The 1871 Salem Dtr rectory, the first publication of . its kind for the city,' carried, un der the tit'v "Improvements of the Yea!' (meaning 1870), these words: "The first and most important building that has been erected is the new hotel, called v the' Che meketa House, which has 100 feet front on Commercial street, and ICS "on Ferry street It is beautiful in its outside appear ance, and most agreeable and comfortable in Its interior ar rangement, and has hardly an equal on the Pacific coast, outside of San Francisco. , Everything (Turn to page 2, col. 1) New Owner of Historic Hotel Win be Guided by Employment Jjfeedg Bartiett declared summer and early fall WPA operations would be gnided by the surplus or short- (Turn to page 2, col. 5) i - V v p& Bumpy Pavement Is Smoothed Out East State Street Havins "Face" Lifted as Crew Lays New Surface OLD memories stirred inside the 45-year-old walls of Lin coln grade school last night as Parent-Teacher associa tion members, other patrpns, and former pupils gather ed there for their last meeting.

Byrns today postponed senate p- Drovai of tne tax Dili, wrecked plans lor congressional adjournment Monday night, and projected the session inta a somewhat indefinite period beyond the closing of the re publican national convention. Grieved congressional leaders abruptly abandoned the oner-cherished hoDe of adiourmne before the repubEcan gathering next Tuesday. The senate, "which met two hoars. , earlier than usual in order to pass the tax bill, swiftly re-( cessed out of respect for the speaker. Administration chieftains immediately drafted a new program calling for approval of the tax bill in the senate tomorrow or Saturday, to be followed by a series of recesses during next week.. The new adjournment goal was set at jjune 15 or 16. Down with plans for adjourn ing congress Monday apparently went the Jiopes of those seeking action at this session on a variety of legislation including the Gat fey coal control bill, the Wagner . housing measure - and the thin subsidy legislation to replaee x- ? j isting ocean mail contracts. 1 the exception of approving con- Si ference reports on the . tax and relief bills after the republics convention, and perhaps a few other final details, the session would end this week. It was ! plain that controversial legisla tion not yet in conference had little chance for consideration. Final action on the vital ie- lief-deficlency bill also was post poned until after the convention. The conferees had planned to meet today and were hopeful of an agreement that would send! the bill to the White House with in a day or two.

Crews of CCC workers yester day began the job of trucking 5000 yards of material from ridge running along the front of the Incinerator grounds. Trucks and a power shovel were being paid for by the CCC. Recently oth er ridges were removed from tne same grounds. The problem of how to finance excavations on the dump site re cently was discussed but not acted upon by the city council.
