Queer Growth In Water Pipes.
Weston Is again annoyed, by the
presence of a curious growth In the
feed pipe supplying the waterworks
reservoir, says the Weston Leader.
It is a fibrous mass resembling a
switch of human 'hair save that It is
many times tis long. Whether the
roots penetrate the vitrified clay pipe
t the joints or germinate In the silt
ashed down from ; tho head, Is a
question not yet decided. There is
no mistake, however, that this water
weed Is entailing a good deal of dif
ficult work for Marshal Bryant, who
Is assisted by Louis Nolte.
STRIKE IN SALEM MILLS.
Toni Kay Closes Down Woolen .Mills
for Spinners' Strike.
The Oregon Dally Journal says of
the woolen mill strike at Salem:
Senator Tom Kay's woolen mills In
this city, employing 120 hands, are
shut down completely tonight because
of the strike of nine spinners. The
strike, which is of an Independent na
ture, .there being no union here, is be
cause of the reduction In wages made
the first of the year, ranging from 5
per cent to 12 V4 per cent.
The strike was a complete surprise.
though two of. the men had already
served notice May 15. The four
spinners working through last night,
met the force of five that were to have
begun at 8 o'clock this morning and
together they marched into Kay's of
fice and demanded a return to the old
scale under which six of the nine re
ceived 12 a day instead of $1.75 as at
present, and the other three made $50
per month instead of $40 as they do
now.
Kay has sent his foreman to Ore
gon City to secure spinners, but Is un
able to get assistance from that city.
Salem "Cleaned Up."
Salem's first annual clean up day
was even a greater success than the
promoters had hoped, says the Salem
Statesman. Streets. alleys, back
yards and front yards, vacant lots and
every place that harbored a collec
t'on of the cans or rubbish, received
attention. The city presents a better
appearance this morning In conse
quence. Many of the merchants put as many
men at work as they could secure, In
cleaning up about their premises.
The schools and colleges were dis
missed and the young folks did excel
lent service.
The city was divided Into four dls
trlctB and. the work was done syste
matically.
Next year It Is planned to organize
the forces earlier and make the move
