Vote It Down It is hoped that the Salem Chamber of Commerce does not adopt the resolution offered its special committee oppos ing the extension of the Oregon Trunk railroad into the Klamath country and favoring giving the Southern Pacific a monopoly of transportation in south central Oregon. The resolution reads in part as follows : Resolved, that the Chamber of Commerce of Salom, Oregon, express Its confidence in the intention and ability of the Southern Pacific to adequately serve and develop the territory its construction program penetrates and be it further resolved wo oppose duplication of expenditure and operation in tcrrilory that Is, jit will be, adequately served by one line, and be it further resolved that future railroad construction should bo directed to the opening of new territory in our productive slate. There are many reasons why such a resolution should be voted down and none at all why Salem should burn her fingers pulling Southern Pacific chestnuts out of the fire. While Salem has always been friendly to the Southern Pacific and is today, and has always helped maintain the integrity of the system, the railroad is presuming too much when it seeks to involve western Oregon communities in its efforts to monopolize traffic and eliminate competition in eastern Oregon. If two separate lines will not pay, then it is up to the Southern Pacific to grant common user rights to the northern lines, for they are willing to take the risk and have assurance of the traffic. Moreover, the more railroads the belter, especially since the investment is outside money. If Wall Street is willing to take the risk, we should worry. The resolution should be voted down, because, if there was no other reason, the central Oregon railroad quarrel does not directly concern Salem and is therefore, none of Salem's business. don't blame her for losing her heart to Nool." ..

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1925 "Old Man Portland" The Portland Orogonian cartoonist depicts "Old Man Port land leading the procession climbing "Better Business mountain to "Prosperity Peak" where the pennant of new ledums is waving, inosc he is leading, of course, are buyers from Oregon and various states who give Portland business u.y Hjienmiig ineir money more. When it comes to expenditures in the development of these communities who do their buying in Portland, and their enterprises such as Salem, even though such develop ment directly increases their buying power, Portland tails the procession, if in it at all, instead of leading it. "Old Man ' Portland" is always readv to head any proces sion that brings (lie cash to Portland or to lead any excursion that by the lavish expenditure of hot-air and wind-jamming brings more cash to Portland, but he never leads any procession to put his cwn cash in the stale's resources outside ol Ins own city limits. "Old Man Portland" is correctly portrayed by the Oregon lan as a middle aged gent running largely to belly, whose stubby whiskers accentuate, rather than conceal, his expies """ "' smugness, greed and avarice.

HEADLESS BODY Portland. Or., Aufr. 6. Au tborities wore trying today to oh tain flume clue that would explain tho death of a man whose decapi tated body was found in the Co lumbia river near the mouth of the Willamette Monday night Deputy Coroner Buckley eaid the head had been severed apparent ly with a sharp instrument. The man was a little under middle ago. A pair of overalls and a khaki shirt covered the body, which had apparently been in the wator about a week. There were no marks on the body. Deputy sheriffs today went to search the banks of the Columbia above where the unidentified body was found, hoping to find oome marks that would indicate a struggle ,or perhaps the head of the dead man.

STILL MYSTERY Mftttoon, IU., Aug. 6. (A. P.) Whether Miss Anna StoUnmn, 48 yearn old, former Cincinnati school principal, took her own life by poison or was murdered Is as much of a mystery as it was last Saturday when her body was found In tho cistern of the farm of her sister, Mrs. Thomas Seaman near here. Three days of Investigation of tho tragedy have thrown no light on the motive for the denth. Find ing and decipherings of notes found wtlh the body served only to complicate the tangle. Mrs. Soamun who, w'.th her hus band, took the body to Cincinnati for burial yesterday, Is confident her sister committed suicide. Im portant to the murder theory ore t:ome 30 odd scrawled and print ed letters, most of them attacking Miss Slollman. Some of 'these notes, made public by P. S. Schill ing. Coles county coroner, partly undecipherable. One of them said: "You are as common as dirt and are a regular snob. Your horse is a nuisance and keep him where he belongs."'
