Onward and upward, you can't stop her. Here is the city of flowers, vistas, wide streets, glorious landscapes, snow-capped mountains In the distance yea, a veritable paradise. And now comes tho final touch. All nature's artistry cannot equal it. Arising in tho center of Salem's civic center, her boast and her pride, are the two most beautiful objects of all. .- One of these "objects of artistic grandeur is n merry -go-round, r me times called a carousel by the aristocratic. Another Is a ferrls wheel. These two charming sights were the needed touches to place Salem's civic center In the same rank as ihe grounds at Versailles.

Kuric Todd was arrested to day on a warrant charging crim inal libel, taeued on Information filed by Prosecuting Attorney Kite Imus. The charges were bas ed on a hand bill circulated to ad vertise a meeting called by May or Todd. The handbill was alleg ed to have made damaging refer ences to certain of the mayor's opponents In his controversy with the city council. The warrant was Issued late yesterday but service was delay ed, It was said, to permit Mayor Todd to attend a council meeting last night. When the council convened last night the chamber was packed with spectstors.
