years, veteran driver of trotting

motorist. During the racing sea
son he tours overland from 'one
city to another.
I. J. Gaanlor has produced several

and" the finish of setting costum
ing, eto. -
Now Gasnier makes another bid

time at the Liberty theatre on Sun

the Century Magazine end won
thousands of new admirers for the

Although a brilliant caBt and fine
siory are among . the important
features of "The Cajl of Home,"
the spectacular floffd scenes that
pile thrill upon thrill lift this pro
duction among the really big ones
of the year. Eamsey Wallace, as
the wandering husband, ia flung

big wooden structure goes to pieces
and the swollen stream goes on a
rampage through hte countryside,
spreading death and destruction in
its wake.

OUTLINE PLANS
: Perhaps -the reason so many fish
ermen "go wrong" Sn describing
their catches is becaus they per
mit the fish they catch' to weigh
themselves on their own scales.

Dallas, Or., Aug. 6. The vari
ous JCoUnty committeemen of thf
republican party of Polk county
mat in the county court room Fri
day morning at. the call ot B. E.
Paddock, county chairman, ot In
dependence. Considerable enthusiasm was
displayed by those In attendance
and each seemed imbued with the
spirit of working together for the
county's Interests.
Walter L. Tooze, chairman of
the state republican committee,
was present and outlined the or
ganization plan tor the ' coming
election and others following It.
He laid special stress on unified
working by the county committee
men and outlined plans that will
work greatly tor the party's good.
These plans are quite comprehen
sive in their scope and are being
generally adopted and acted upon
wherever meetings have been held.
The plans include a complete re
organization along party lines and
will ultimately work for strong
party organization over the entire
state.
For the purpose of stimulating
the work among the women, Mrs.
Ora B. Cosper was appointed vice-
chairman of the county organlza
tion.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr. Paddock and after listen
Ing to the plans as outlined by Mr.
Tooze, a number of those present
were called upon for short talks.

SUMMER STREET
PAYING FINISHED
Paving of Bummer street was
completed the first ot the week
and the plant has been moved to
Sixteenth street, between D and
Market streets. It Is estimated by
the city engineer that there were
12,000 square yards of paving laid
on Summer street. While no fig
ures are available as yet it is esti
mated that the work will cost
about $2 per square yard with the
curbing costing betwen 40 and 42
cents per lineal foot.
Now that all of the main travel
of the highway will be via Sum
mer street many will be asking
why the Redwood tree standing In
tho street Just off Union street
was not "cut down when the pav
ing was laid. The tree stands as
a monument to William Waldo,
pioneer ot Salem and county clerk
many years ago. He had planted
the tree before there were any
streets in Salem and the people
thought so much of "Uncle Bill"
that they asked that It be spared.
The paving as far as Market street
was done In 1912 and Mr. Waldo
died the following year.
Before 1880, when gasoline was
discovered to have power possi
bilities, gas engines were operated
by gunpowder and turpentine.
