Hundreds of Local People Are
in Attendance; Many Will

Numbers of lbcal people left on the
morning trains today lor Salem to
attend the Eighth Annual Cherry Fair
and tile joiiit celebration of the Fourth
of July. Hundreds are expected to

Salem, Or., July 3. After pains
taking preparations on the part of the
various committees of the cherry fair
the grand opening took place this
morning at 10 o'clock at the pavilion
on Church street between Court and
State sterets.
The auto parade, it is said, if wea
ther permits, will be one of the best
ever seen in Salem as many merchants
and others have spared no time in
arranging their machines and to make
the procession just what it ought to
be.
The city is interested in the fair,
from the little ones up through the
various ages to the oldest inhabitants,
and with the many who will be in
from outside of the immediate com
munity, many arriving on all trains
from farther points, the crowds prom
ise to be great; the only thing re
quired being fine weather.
Salem is well decorated and flags
and bunting have dressed the city in
her holiday clothes; the people are
aroused, the planning has'been of the
best and a great time during the next
three days is anticipated.
Noted speakers will address the
prune growers in the armory at 2
p. m., and the great chautauqua opens
at 3 o'clock in the big tent erected
on the Willamette university campus
where there will be given an opening
program by great artists who will en
tertain and instruct in the most pleas
ing manner.
With bauds playing, street sports
and acrobatic stunts pulled off, the
latter at '2 p. m., probably on the court
house grounds and the former on Lib
erty and State streets at 4 in the af
ternoon, the youth of the city and
surrounding country will have their
fill of happiness.
Chautauqua and band concert in the
evening will wind up the first day of
the cherry fair and the entire pro
gram of the day will be presented in
a manner such as to show the crowds
just what is to be expected in the way
of royal entertainment during the three
days of festivities.
The carnival spirit is up and 'he
tide is rising hourly and from the
start this morning until the end Satur
day night things will be doing fait
and furious in the Captal City.

STREET CAE AND AUTO
COLLIDE ON FIRST STREET
Prompt Action of Motorman:
.Prevented What Might Have !
Been Serious Accident.
But for the prompt action of the
motorman on the street car, an auto
mobile driven by W. A. Barrett would
have been badly damaged, shortly be-
lore 1 o'clock when a collision be-
tweeu the car and the aiuo happened
at me corner oi niisworiu auu nisi
streets.
The street car was .returning from
the depot and Barrett was driving his
car down h I U worth street from the
garage. Although he saw the car
approaching, by-stamers say that Bar
rett speeded up in an effort to cross
the track ahead of the car. For some
reason or other the auto failed to re
spond to the throttle and when di
rectly across the track it was struck
broadside by the car. There was one
other occupant ot the car besides Bar
i
reit but neither was injured. The dam-;
age to the auto was slight and prac-
tically no damage was done to the!
street car. Eye witnesses say that ;
tiie quick action of the niotorman pre-1
vented what might have been a serious!
accident.-

Is Large One.
Eleven hundred county warrants
have been issued at the county clerk's
office in the past two days. Warrants
have not been issued yet on ail of the
bills allowed at this term of court and
it is believed the total for the month
will reach at leats 1300.
The task of writing eleven hundred
warrants in two days which was ac
comnlished bv Count v Clerk Marks
and his deputies is a big one. Mr. I
Marks and Deputy County Clerk Rus
sell both worked until 11 o'clock both
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in
order to accomplish it and got the
warrants out in a rush, owing to the
fact that many who have been doing
road work flie past month wished to
secure their money before the Fourth
of July. Practically all of the war
rants for road work had been issued
by noon today.
The large number of bills allowed
by the county court at the present
term is due to the fact that more road
work is done in this county in June
than in any other month. All of the
road supervisors sent in big payrolls
this month and of the 1100 warrants
thus far issued 850 were for road
work.

That he was one of the strongest

Xg Poon Chew is to appear on the
Albany Chautauqua platform during
the coming assembly. "At the con

Leech, "I managed to speak a few
words with him. I asked him as a
special request to deliver that address
at Albany and he said he would be
glad to. I think it was one of the
most masterful as well as interesting
and educational, that I have heard
in many years. Xg Poon Chew is
undoubtedly a master of oratory."

ferson, and Eddie F. Chance and Mary
Hilton, both of this city, were united
in marriage.
Applying at the county clerks office
Eugene asked Mrs. Daisy Savage Babb
for the license who complied with the
request while Chance made the affi
davit. At the completion of the mak
ing out of the marriage license blank
Chance turned in e'lmnnp .mil mneli
to his chagrin, said: "N'ow. old ch.in.
you can do the same thing , for me."
The blank filing cerromny was again

the bashful grooms to be sauntered
out of the clerk's office, joined their

OFFICE BF PAVING
IH8PEGT0RGREATED
After Considerable Discussion
City Council Adds Another
Official to List.
CITY ENGINEER FENLAND
TO ACT IN THAT OFFICE
His Duties Will Be 10 Inspect
All Paving and Sewer Con
struction in Progress.
The city council last iii;4ht created
the office of paving and sewer in
spector and John R. IVnland, the citv
engineer, was empowered to perform
the acts of this office.
The city of Albany now has a build
ing, plumbing and electric inspector.
The duties of the new officer will be
to inspect the paving of both side
walks and streets, when it is in the
course of being laid, to ascertain that
it is being put down properly and ac
cording to plans and specifications.
He is to hold up any violation of tlu1
specifications and order it lo be re
laid and to report such delinquency
to the council. He is to perform sim
ilar duties in connection with the lay
ing of a sewer line.
Considerable discussion ensued when
this matter was brought up by Coun
cilman Johnson. Heretofore, th; com
mittee on streets and public property
has acted in this capacity, and aUo
the street superintendent but it w;
contended that it would be best to
have one man competent to perform
these duties. The fact that frequent
complaints have been registered rel
ative to alleged unsatisfactory laying
of pavement entered into the discus
sion. It was held that bv the annoint-
ment of a paving inspector, the coun
cil as a whole would be relieved of
such criticisms and responsibility.
Councilman-Lyons made the motion
to appoint Mr. Penland to this po
sition, contending that work which
is costing thousands of dollars is wor
thy of rigid inspection and he held that
what is -worth doing at nlj is worth
doing well. He said that what i ev
erybody's business is nobody's busi
ness and that this was the main com
plaint he had against the custom pre
vailing neretoiore relative to inspec
tion of paving.
Much paving is to be done here
soon, including the paving of streets
with gravel bitulithic and side wn Iks
with cement walks and curbs and from
these indications the paving inspector
will have considerable work'to do.
Owners and Assumed Names Filed
County Clerk W. L. Marks announc
ed this afternoon that many papers
have been filed in this office, pursuant
to the passage of a law bv the last
legislature requiring all of those doing
business under an assumed name to

with the names of its owners.

ents. Rev. and Mrs. D. H. Leech.
