Renewed Efforts of Solic

Goal Within Reach;
Outsiders Responding,
The linen mill drive will pass
the $275,000 mark at Thursday's'
noon luncheon it was predicted at
headquarters today.
After a cloud of lethargy had
settled over the workers who had
been vplodding uphill in strenuous
efforts to reach the top, a second
wind came today.
Everyone of the 48 hustlers
who have carried on ao far enter'
ed Into the fray with a new spirit
and was outworking tooth and toe
nail with the $275,000 mark for
Thursday noon as the lowest of
the ambitions.
With the $275,000 mark safely
passed the linen mill will be vlr
tually a realization as there will
be no stopping or letup If the work
era themselves have to personally
guarantee the difference but they
are sure they will not.
The work on the outside is pro
gresslng, some fast pickups being:
made at Sllverton, Dallas report
ing progress and Independence
coming in strong yesterday after
noon and evening.
Yesterday afternoon's meeting
at Independence was one of en
thuAlasm and last night a steering
committee was appointed there to
have charge of the drive.
From all over reports are com
Ing in from rural districts as to
interest farmers are showing from
the standpoint of a new crop for
the valley, a crop that promises
good returns and can be used
a third rotation with their oats
and wheat.
The whole atmosphere In the
linen mill drive was surcharged
with new life today.
"I have never seen anything
like It In the history of any drive
in Salem," declared R. O. Snelling
"The men as a unit showed them
selves back Into the harness, every
one determined to go out and ex
cel the mark that was set to shoot
at. The bacon la Just around the
corner."

SEAT ON SOVIET
Moscow, May 13. (A. P.)
Leon Trotzky, deposed, head of the
soviet army, who recently return
ed from seclusion in the Caucasus,
was toiiuy elected a member of the
presidium by the federal congress
of soviet states. He was given an
ovation by the congress.
Much surprise and widespread
comment followed the appen ranee
of Trotzky on the platform next
to Gregory Zinoviev, who last
year led the fight against Trotzky
which forced the latter'a political
retirement.
Although Trotzky Is not includ
ed among those who are to present
to the congress reports of govern
ment activities lust year, it is
probable that he will participate
in the work of some of the numer
ous commissions which are formu
lating the program of the con

It was noticeable that Trotzky
received more applause than any
official who appeared on the
Jtage.
Medford, Or., May 13. Will.
the lowly emi'dge pot conquer the
snows ot Crater lake as well as tbt
frosts of the Rogue river valley?
This is the question which wiU be
settled by a series of experiments
started today by Colonel C. U.
Thomscn, superintendent of Cra
ter Lake park, assisted by E. C.
Jerome, local agent for a standar 1
orchard heater.
Thomson and Jerome leave to
morrow with a crew of laborers
armed with shovels, T. N. T. and
picks, to start the work of re
moving hard packed snow from
the main roads In the park, to
make way for the official opening
Bet for July 1. This work Is be
ing started three weeks earlier
than utual because ot the ex
cessive snow which is now 14 feet
deep at the lake rim.
While the usual business of
snow removal Is carried on by the
snow crew, Colonel Thomson will
experiment with the smudge pots,
the Idem being to set the pot-
burning upon the (op of tin enow
at short distances apart in the
hope that as the ruei burns the
heaters will gradually sink down
into the snow running deep holes
It Is then though that the wind
and sun will connect up thw
holes, leaving a loose moss which
can easily be thrown to one side of
the road.

Attempt To Cut French
Communication Line
Seen In Concentration
of Tribesmen.
Madrid, May 13. (A. P.) A
dispatch from Rabat, French Mo
rocco, says the concentrations of
well armed and disciplined Rif
flan forces are taking place near
Cheopauev, giving rise to the be
lief that Abd-el-Krim will at
tempt to pierce the French right
and cut the link of communica
tion with Fer.
It is said the French -military
experts do not believe this opera
tion can be carried out success
fully. Belief Moves Start
Rabat, French Morocco, May
13. (A. P.) The troops began
a movement last night for the re
lief of the besieged outposts sur
rounded by Abd-el-Krim'a Rif
fian tribesmen, says an official
communique issued today. Both
of the French officers in charge
and half the members ot the gar
rison of fifty at one of these
posts were wounded and out of
action for several days during the
Riffian bombardment, it is dis
closed. This outpost In the Blbnne
region has been hotly besieged,
the RIffiane keeping up a con
stant machine gun and artillery
fire and making repeated assaults
with hand grenades.
- The French forward action, the
communique says, is Intended to
clean out the Rlfflans from
around several such block house
posts, which for more than a
week have been Isolated. During
that time, the garrisons have
been revictualled by airplanes.
News that the Bibane poet was In
such a difficult position, prompt
ed immediate action by the
French. Despite the serious
wounding ot both officers the na
tive garrison was still holding out
at Le porta, although half the
men were badly wounded.
Censorship Effective
Paris, May 13. The censorship
decreed by the government over
news of the developments in the
r.iffinn tribesmen invasion of
F'nch Morocco appears to have
become effective, the newspapers
this morning ceasing to print
news of" the troop movements.
The situation according to the
latest advices remains unchang
ed along the 150 mile front, both
sides preparing for the coming
struggle. Abd-el-Krim'a tribesmen
have showed no tendency to take
the offensive, and the French for
the present are contenting thetn-
sel with sorties and r.lrplane
flights for the revictualllng of
their besieged outposts.
The work of grouping and con
tratlng reinforcements continue
and the Riffians are Improving
the opportunity to make their po
sitions as formidable as possible.
