1SENAT0RS PLAY
Tomorrow afternoon the Salem
Senators wl'l meet the Lucken-
L-ach Ship company nine on the
Oxford nark diamond. The Sena
tor are now leading the league
with three others teams tied for
second place wtlh two wins and
one loss. The locals ought to get
a win over the visitors as they
have a clean elate so far while
the ship company nine, which in a
road club, lost all three of Hs
starts.
The locale will be somewhat
crippled, however, as Frisco will
more than likely be out ot the
lineup on account of his bum leg.
Karr is unable to catch bejilnd the
bat as he hurt his hand In ths
game at Oregon City last Sunday,
llarr will more than likely be able
tc play his old position In the out
field. Edwards is planning on
starting Ashby on the mound for
the Senators. Ashby has lots ot
stuff and will give the Salem fans
plenty of action. Towner, Wil
lamette receiver, who was with
the Senators last year, will prob
ably start the game behind the
bat although Edwards is not sure
as he may pi a himself.
The locale have been playing
excellent ball so far this season
and their opponent will find it
tough going to get a decision over
the Senators. They are now off
on a good start and are hoping to
keep on the top. They ought to
win the league championship as
they have met two ot the tough
est clubs In the league In Camas
and Crown-Willamette Paper com
pany. The Camas team is strong
with the services ot Big Bill Kuss
twirling, although Kuss is a little
handicapped with his old favorite
"spitter" barred- in this league. A
win for the Senators would give
them a good start for the pennant.
The papermakers will clash
with the Hilsboro nine which will
decide one ot the second place
teams as both ot them are tied for
necond place with a percentage of
C67. Hilleboro has not met the
locals and their strength is as yet
unknown. Vancouver will meet
Camas In the other game of the
league series. The Camas club
lost the opener to the locals by a
score of 4 to 2, while the Van
couver nine loBt to Salem by a
score ot 11 to 3. "Rip" King,
manager of the Vancouver club, is
.currying arouud the sand lota to
;et better material and is plan
ning on surprising the Camas club
with his added strength. Tomor
row's game will start promptly at
3 p. m.

West Salem, Or., May 9. By a
majority of 82 to 8 the citizens of
West Salem yesterday voted bonds
to the extent of $5000 for build
ing additions to their city water

ity of two votes. Only 60 ballots
were cast at that time.
The total bonded indebtedness
of West Salem will be approxi
mately $14,000 after the new
bonds are Issued. Three bonds of
$1000 each wero paid off a year
ago, and money is now on hand to

The new bonds will pay 7 per
cent Interest nnd will probably
mature in 20 years, according to
Mr. Gosser. If possible, however,
they will be written with a pro
