Tho Ili-Y basketball team won
the first round of the older hoys'

urday afternoon by a score uf 41
to 0.
For tho first quarter it looked
ne though the game wae going to
be a hard fought affnlr, the neart
being held down ou both sides.
Tho lli-Y'B gained momentum,
however, nnd rapidly drew away
from the losers. Team work and
Bhort parsing around the banket by
tho winners was largely respon
sible for tho one-sided score. The
Creeks had plenty of cliaucefl to
win as they had enougn nhots 1ml
failed to connect with the hoop
consistently.
Dwlght Adams starred for the
III-Y's and waa high point man ol
tho game, being responsible for 16
points. Jim Darby starred for the
losers.
Two more games ot the tourna
ment are scheduled for this even

The game will start at 7 o'clock.

Tolerance Theme of
Farewell Sermon of
Departing Minister
"During the years that I have
been here I am proud to say It has
not been an ecclesiastical appeal
that I have preached, but an ap
peal solely for Christ and through
ChrJfit," Rev. J. J. Evans told his
congregation In his farewell ser
mon at tho First Christian church
Sunday, morning. He took for his
test tho pas.tng'Q from Paul's first
letter to the Corinthians, "I am de
termined to know nothing among
you but Christ, and Htm crucified,"
and remained on tho subject of his
text throughout the sermon.
Tho sormon, Rev. Evans said,
was the same aa hla- first regular
sermon given when ho came to
tho local church. "I want to preach
tho same sermon upon leaving that
I did upon coming," he said. "I
want to end Just where I began."
The text quoted for the sermon
might seem narrow and intolerant
at first thought, but not when un
derstood correctly, Mr. Evans stat
ed. "Wo have our views about tol
erance and Intolerance. I often
think the man who preaches the
loudest, against intolerance Is him
self tho moHt Intolerant. This text
may seem dogmatic because we
do not understand the terms as
given.

little about Christ. The man or wo
knows Him the least.
"I do not think any man Is just
to himself who goes through life
Ignoring Christ."
Referring to Paul, who wrote
the letter from which the text was
taken, Rev. Mr. Evans said, "Paul
went out preaching no .theology,
no secularism, except Christ. He
wanted them to found their religion
not upon the shifting sands of hu
man understanding, not upon this
doctrine and the doctrine of theo
logy. Ho wanted the foundation to
bo much deeper than that he
wanted It to be upon the wisdom of
God himself.
"The message of the cross Is the
mightiest message of the disasters
of evil that the human tongue can
speak. There would have been no
Calvary, my friends, had there not
been tremendous evil in tho world.
So I thitfk we would be doing vio
lence to the significance of this
text if wo Ignored the last words
of It, 'and Ilim crucified.'
"Our lives do not amount to

there Is the element of philosophy
in the crucifixion."

Indications of a slight decline
In building activity were renortcd
by John Perrin, chairman of the
board and federal reserve agent
for tho twelfth district in his sum
mary for November.
The value of building permits
isued in twenty principal cities of
tho district wiis less by 2.5 per
cent than in November, 1924. Com
pared with October the decrease,
however, was only 13.8 per cent
whereas tho normal seasonal de
crease from October to November
Is 14.7 per cent.
"General business activity In the
12th district declined slightly from
the high levels of October but con
tinned well above the levels of one
year ago," says the report. "Indus
trial activity and employment de
clined seasonally during Novem
ber, but also continued at higher
levels than In November, 1924."
In 1925 agricultural output grew
in comparison to the abnormally
small output of 1924 and waa ap
proximately equal to the five year
average, 11)19 to 1923. Prices paid
farmers for moat products ns mens
ured by department of agriculture
Indexes were from three to 15 per
cent higher than a year ago dur
ing the major harvesting and mar

Lumber production decreased as
usual during November but ex

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON
E
MARKET EAST
The Christmas holidays have
brought about almost an absolute
calm in the prune market so far
as Oregon stocks are concerned,
and the demand which was insis
tent and steady just prior to Christ
mas has completely disappeared,
according to Robert Paulus of
Robt. Paulus anu company.
Little activity can be expected
until sometime In January, after
inventories have been taken, Mr.
Paulus believes, but he then ex
pects the market to loosen consid
erably. Reports from New York,
the principal market for Oregon
prunes, indicate the dealers shelv
es there to be bare and conditions
in London and Liverpool indicate
a revival of the export trade early
In the new year.
Lack of assortment Is the prin
cipal obstacle in the way of free
selling of Oregon prunes this year
all dealers agree, but they are find
ing an unusual demand for 30s,
due principally to the shortage of
that slsto In California. Buyers who
demand variety In sizes arc filling
out their California purchases with
Oregon 30s.
preferred stock on condition that
they were permitted to buy 1000
Hhuree of common stock, thia being
more than the amount pro rata to
each subscriber. It was understood
that the Dominions Linens would
send an expert to alem to take
charge of the erection of a plant
and operation of same, but when
called upon in the fall to pay 10
per cent of their subscription, -they
failed to comply and, on being
pressed for action, they stated that
thoy had made other arrangements
and did not care to proceed further
in the matter. There are several
reasons surmised whereby the Do
minions Linens has decided to
drop out, one being to the effect
that they ban expected to move
i heir plant, which ie located in
CJeulph, Canada, to Salem and ap
ply same on their subscription, and
inasmuch as it was not supposed
that the company would entertain
such a proposition, it is thought
they lost interest in the deal. At
any rate, they have refused to
make payment of the 10 per cent
and proceed in the matter.
"The board ot directors has hud
a number of meetings since the
organization in tho lull and has
considered the matter of erecting
and operating a plant in Salem
from various angles, but has con
tracted no indebtedness, beyond
probably a couple of thousand
dollars lor preliminary work, up
to date.
A Better Proposition.
"We now have proposition
submitted to us which teems feas
ible and which mauy think better
than that made by the Canada
people. Two men lately came from
the east at the board's request and
gave such information us they had
pertaining to these matters. A man
by the name o J. J. Aldred gi
Lockport, N, Y., who has had u
great deal of experience in the
manufacturing of linen goods, has
agreed to como to Salom and take
charge of Uie erection and instal
lation of a plant and to operate
same on terms as follows: He to be
paid a flat salary of 3000 and cor
tain traveling expenses, which will
probably amount to $1000 or more
for Uie first year, and to work for
a similar salary, plus a per cent of
the net prorits ot the company m
tlie future, which proposition Is
very liberal, inasmuch as the
$3000 will no more than pay the
man's living expenses during the
first year.
"Further, Mr. Aldred has on
option on a weaving and finishing
plant in Lockport, N. Y., for $25,
000. This machinery could not he
purchnscd new for about three
times tliis amount. Mr. Aldred has
agreed to forfeit any commission

which be might make on this plant
and turn the option over to the
company and will supervise the
packing and shipping of same, his
time to be paid for aa heretofore
stated.
Locnl Iv Inspected,
"To make sure that the machin
ery was In good condition and
suitable, I had the superintendent
of the Thos. Kay woolen mill visit
Lockport and make a thorough ex
amination of same. He wired me
lust week to the-effect that the
machinery was O. K. and as repre
sented. It is therefore tho idea of
your board of directors now that
we take up this option, purchase
the machinery and ship It to Sa
lem aa part of the plant to he in
stalled here. Further, to place or
ders with manufacturers in Europe
for the spinning and preparing
machinery, all of which will be
new.
"We have decided, however, to
erect a smaller plant than that
originally in tended, on account of
the. amount of stock subscribed be
ing less than what was originally
calculated on.
"Wo are therefore submitting
this information to the stockhold
ers here today and desire an ex
pression from you as to whether
or not we shall carry out these
plans.
Two Locknort Plants.
"I might add that there were
two plants in Lockport, N. Y., of
about the.same size .and character.
One was purchased by the Domin
ions Linens a year ago last sum
mer and for a little over $00,000,
including buildings and land, and
is now beinp operated by that com
pany. I understand they have or
ganized this plant and issued stock
in the amount of about $250,000.
If, therefore, this weaving and fin
ishing plant was good enough for
tho Dominolns L.ineus, who ore
practical people and experienced
manufacturers, to purchase and
operate, then one of the same kind
and character should be good
enough for us, eepecially when we
are able to buy it at about . 30
ccntfl on tlie dollar."
John II. McNary spoke as fol
lows: " .
".Mr, Sanson's proposition to the
citizens of Salem was to cooperate
with them In the erection of a lin
en mill, for the purpose of manu
facturing what Is known as "bread
and butter goods," or conrse towel
ing and crashes. These articles
were to be made entirely from tow.
and without the use of line fibre.
The board did not agree to this, as
our fibre is equal to the best grown
in the world, and under his prop
osition wo were to ret and scutch
our flax, use the tow In tho manu
facture of cheap goods, and ship
our lino fibre to Canada or else
where to bo manufactured Into fine
fabrics. By adopting such a policy,
we would be in no better position
to manufacture linen goods than
less favored communities, where
flax of a low grade is grown. The
profits of cheaper linens are low,
as it is collected by London Brok
ers from Continental Europe and
shipped Into this country In large
quantities. Tho tariff on the tow,
la only 1 per cent valorem. As a
VA
i
result, theftc tuoda uie sold at a
low margin, and extensively man
ufactured In America,
'Instead of following the Canad
ian policy, the board found It to
be to the best Interest of the stock-
houlders of our company, to en
gage In tiie manufacture of middle
class goods, suet) as napkins, ta
ble cloths, etc. These goods are
woven Into linen by a few Amer
ican fnctories from twine shipped
from foreign countries, after pay
ing thereon, a tariff of from 25 to
30 per cent ad valorem. Our yarns
will be spun from our own fibre,
and thus' save tho tariff charge,
By this change in policy, we will
be enabled to utllizo our superior
fibre, and return much larger div
idends to our stockholders.
"Our main purpose In accepting
the terms of Dominion linens lim
ited was to obtain from them tlie
services of a competent manager,
nnd a few expert operators. We
have, however, arranged elsewhere
for such services.
"Mr. J. J. Alder has been tenta

Can You Remember
'Way Back When
A merchant bought space in "tlie paper" because his
friend Bill Smith was the publisher, and Bill said his
paper was read by "nine out of every ten families in
town"? Purely a friendly transaction with no thought of
whether Bill's statement was open to question or his
judgment in error.
, Today the merchant wants to know what returns the
publication will give as an advertising medium. Com-
petition has forced him to buy space as he buys potatoes
or sugar not because the seller is a friend of his, but be
cause he knows he will get the full quantity that is paid
for, and that the expenditure will bring profitable re
sults. In other words, selecting mediums for advertising
has passed from a haphazard procedure to an accurate
scientific process. This has been brought about through
A. B. O. reports.
The Audit Bureau of Circulations was organized
eleven years ago to provide verified circulation data for
the use of advertisers. It now has a large force of audi
tors who cover the United States and Canada once a year
auditing the circulation reports of over 1400. publisher
members.
A. B. C. reports containing full data on all circula
tion questions furnish the only means by which the ad
vertiser can be positive that his advertising is reaching
the prospective buyers he desires.
The Capital Journal is a member
of the A. B. ,C. The latest report
will be furnished on request.
