cial club deevloped into an old time
experience meeting, in which members
' told what they thought of the activi
ties of the club and upon Invitation of
Manager T. E. McCroskey, offered eug-
festlons.
W. I. Btaley, upon being called on
for an Idea, suggested that business
men should visit the automobile camp
. from time to time and talk with the
new comers. He thought a most fav-1
oraoie impression would be made If
Business men would occasionally wel
. come them and show some interest In
visitors. ;
. J. C. Perry said that, in providing an
- auto camp and a swimming pool, the
city was doing fine advertising. It
. was such conveniences that made an
impresion on vlstiors, Mr. Perry said,
J. B. Littler said that when he tour
ed in southern California recently he
ODserved that each town had a wel
come sign displayed and It made him.
'. feel Just a little more friendly. He
thought Salem might do the same. He
also said that while visiting at the Sa
Jem camping grounds several campers
asked for signs such as "Camp at Sa-
Jem." They were so pleased with Sa
Jem that they were anxious that others
- stop in the city.
' Road Signs Favored.
B. E. Sissons, manager of the Miller
Mercantile company, said that he ap
proved all plans fpr new road signs as
for some reason, an inviting sign cat
' ft favorable effect on the traveler. The
. better the. sign,, the better impression
the traveler would have of the city, he
, H. T. Love said he had lived In sev
feral towns but that Salem was the
. best; He said he appreciated. Commer-.
clal clubs as from experience, he knew
the only way for eastern people to
, learn of a .town was through Its com
mercial club.
i H. ' H. Haynes of Portland of ttia
.J Balem Baking ' company, referred to
the fact that Portland was getting
ready to plant 6000 - roses on Sandy
' boulevard' that It might be known as
' the' "Rose Way.' ' He suggested that
; Balem beat Portland t6 a rose way and
. that a committee be -organized to of
fer prizes for the finest block of roses.
He Offered to ge one of ten or 20 men
to give $10 to each towards a premium

Fruit Crop Estimates.
- C. Id.' Lewis, of the Oregon Growers
Co-operative association, sized up the
situation in fruit today as follows:
' Cherries exceeded the f irsf estimates
and instead of 4000 tons, there was a
crop of 5000 tons in this part of the
Valley. . The peace crop, he said, would
be IS per cent larger than last year.
For the first time In history, pears
- were being shipped In- carldads from
Medford. The apple crop, Mr. Lewis
said, -was about 60 per cent of last
year's crop and the crop- in genera
was not up to standard or last year.
, The prune crop would run about 60,
000,000 pounds dried this year. The
efect of the recent hot weather on
prunes will not be known for several
days. Incidentally, Mr. Lewis said the
home seekers were traveling in day
' coaches and not Pullmans. . ,
