' Snow Flurries, Season's First, InSalemToday Thanksgiving, not unlike those which the Puritans observed, brought with it to Salem this .norning a light fall of snow intermittent appearances of small flakes which melted shortly .after :hey struck the ground.

The official weather prediction, rom Portland today, indicated hat rain is due in this vicinity 'esterda'y and today were among he coldest of the season. EFUSE OF WOOD PILES OBSTRUCT SEWERS OF CITY Walt S. Low, street commission jr, is having his annual trouble ith sewers, all due to the fact that people who have had their wood piled in the street, fail to re move rubbish after the wood has .jeen stored away. "Many people have the idea that it is the duty of the city to re move sawdust and trash after wood has been sawed and stored," Mr. Low said. "The fact is, It is (.he duty of owners of the woodpili io remove every bit of trash and especially sawdust." It . is especially sawdust that causes expense to the city and ne :essitates the digging up of sew ers, he said. The sawdust along with small sticks and bark left from the wood pile is swept into the sewers with the first rain and then they are clogged, causing ex tra expense to the city.

LLOYD FREED BY GOVERNOR j gk ay 10 FOOTBALL Local :.; Interest Centers On Willamette Clash And Oregon-Washington Battle at Seattle. Of the several games being play ed on the Pacific coast this after noon, the one of chief Interest to Satem followers possibly dne, in some instances, to geographical reasons -is the clash between Wil lamette university and the College of Puget Sound on Sweatland field. Up In Seattle the undefeated Univarslty of Orejjon eleven faces the University of Washington Huskies and the hardest battle of the year is expected by Coach Shy Huntington. At Pasadena the Uni versity of Southern California meets Washington State college and in all probability the south erners will be victorious. In Port land the Olympic club machine is believed to be somewhat bet ter than the Multnomah team. Willamette and the College of Puget Sound are evenly matched in weight, both averaging around 162 pounds, and each team is in good physical condition. A repeal football contest Is in prospect for those who witness the game here today. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 80. Pre game statements of the coaches on both tides concede evenly matched teams when the Universities of Washington and Oregon meet here this afternon in a Thanksgiving day game. The Washington eleven is a little heavier and the Oregon one a little more ex perienced. The contest will decide the championship of the Pacific Northwest conference, In which each of the two teams is un defeated. Both coaches express a hope for a "dry field, while the official weather prodictlon is rain. "We have a fifty fifty chance to win," says Coach Enoch Bag shaw ot Washington, "My men are going to give all they have to take the Pacific Northwest hcampionshlp back to Oregon with them," promised Coach, Shy Huntington of Oregon. t After, a lull of a week at the marriage license counter In the county clerk's office, business picked up late last evening Junt before closing hours.

FOUR LICENSES TO WED ISSUED Constancy Gifts Oft Asserts Taking for his subject, "Th. Di vine Visitation," Dr. C. E. Powell, who delivered the union Thanks giving services this morning, at the First Christian church, de clared that it is God who supplies our daily wants, no less truly than through hi Son, He supplied the wants ot tbe hungry multitude in th. wilderness In tbe days of His flesh. . . ; "It Is hot only in what we are accustomed to call miracles that God works alone," Dr. Powell said. The whole course of nature Is one miracle. In the golden corn, in the ripened fruit, in the ever faith ful recurrence ot the WeaSons. we have wltneM ot the same power, only differently applied, that mul tiplied the loaves and fishes." Leads to ForRetfulness. Referring fo the many blessings that had been bestowed upon the people of this country, Dr. Powell said: "Let us beware that the very constancy of God's gifts does not lead us to forgetfulness. It is only by an effort of the will that we pause to realize that every hour has its blessings, and that pledges ot the divine visitation are all about us." In conclusion Dr. Powell said: "Let us this day offer unto Him our sacrifice ot praise and thanks giving. Our harvests have been bountiful. Beyond any people on earth we have reason to be thank ful. No cry ot want is heard throughout our land. God has visited us in Innumerable ways. He has given us 'bread enough and to spare.' Shall we not al ways remember that onto whom much has been given, trom him much will be requif'ed." Dr. Powell is a member of the board of home missions of the Methodist Episcopal church and has recently been assigned to take charge of the social settlement center ot th. Methodist church in Portland. ' The collection taken this morn lng will be given to the home as sociated charities. BURCH LIKELY TO GET FREEDOM Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 30. It was a happy Thanksgiving day for Arthur C. Burch, who was said to agree with his chief coun sel, Paul Schenck, that the dli agreement last night of the jury In Burch's third trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy was the equivalent of an acquittal." Burch laughed aloud when Judge John W. Shenk poled the jurors and each declared "there was absolutely no chance" for an agreement. This came after more than 30 hours had passed since the case had been given over to the jury and lx ballots bad been taken. The first was the same as the lapt 7 to 5 for acquittal the jurors said after they bad been discharged. F Pledges in the sum ot $803,9fio, nearly two-thirds of the $1,260, 000 goal for Willamette university which is to be raised by December 20, has been reported to the for ward movement headquarters, third floor Waller hall, up to and Including yesterday. As no money Is figured in the amount until the pledges have been received and recorded It Is quite likely that workers about the state who have not sent In their latest figure, will have enough to swell tbe amount well over the two-thirds mark.

HMD Fruit Canning , Industry, More Valuable Than Salmon, Needs Protect ion At Source, V The great salmon pack of the Columbia river, recognized as one of the leading Industries of the northwest, did not equal in value this year the pack ot the five fruit canneries in Salem. The canning industry of Salem alone has as sumed such tremendous propor tions that the value this year of the Salem pack as shipped by the Salem canneries, has placed more money In circulation than the famous salmon pack of the Colum bia, river, , According to authentic statis tics, the salmon pack of the Co lumbia river this year amounted to 415,000 cases, with an average value of $6.60 a case. This would place the commercial value of the .mlmon pack at $2,697,500. Fish Industry Fostered. The canned fruit pack of the five plants in Salem alone this past season amounted to 677,000 cases. A conservative estimate places $4 as the average value ot a case. Based 4ipon these figures, which are also authentic, the commercial value ot the Salem pack this sea- on is $3,046,500.
