"With tho largest ooneourso ever as
sembled in tho Hpacious dining hall of
tho Hotel Marlon, tho celebration of

tho ovening with, a banquet. Manager
'rowe, of tho hostelry, stated today
that it wnn tho largest and about tho
most enthusiastic crowd ho has ever
accommodated sinco ho hns had tho
management of tho hotol.
Tho management of tho hotel labored
for four hours in making preparations
for tho visiting public and local people
who attended tho big feast. Tho hall
was brilliantly lighted, and tho fes
tive board consisted of a row of tables
forming a hollow sipiaro. Kverv plate
was taken. To lend appetite for tho
splendid viands, Manager Crowe eu
Raged a first-class orchestra, which dis
coursed music while tho hungry cole
lirators surrounded tho good things, and
Mrs. Hallio 1'arrish Hinges favored tho
liners with several well chosen selec
tions, tho nudienco joining in when tho
national nirs wero sung.
The menu provided by Mnnnger
Crowe was one of tho best ever pre
pared by tho hotel, and the inner nrnu
certainly enjoyed himself from the
manner in which the food was stowed
nwny. When tho throng was seated,
some one sang out, "eat, drink nnd bo
inorry today; tomorrow wo sleep nil
day." Nothing doin' on the death;
liring on the other item, nnd wo '11 be
glad to snore tomrorow. "
Spirited Citlzons Talk.
When tho blue Binoko began to curl
from tho business ends of the fino ci
gars passed around, .ludgo P. H.
D'Arcy pulled himself together aftor
the strenuous dny nod prepared to net
ns tonstinaster for tho occasion. With
n few well-chosen remarks, tho judge
called upon I'resident Strahorn, of the
Portland, F.ugeno & F.astorn. Tho rail
road officiul statod that there will bo
many undeveloped parts in this vnlloy
lined with railroads in tho near futuro,
and tho headlight of tho locomotive
will soon greet the fnrmer and stock
raiser who is now destitute of trans
portation facilities. Ho said that it
will be a matter of but a short time
when tho peoplo from other states will
come to notico what tho vnlloy is do
ing, and answer tho call for settlers.
Factories Necessary.
The key-log to tho development jam
was blown to smithereens by T. H.
Kay, when he was called upon to talk.
Mr. Kay stated that what this country
needs more thnn any one thing olso, is
a larger payroll, and, with tho proper
railroad facilities, thero is not a rea
sonable doubt existing but what this
state of affnirs can bo brought about.
Mr. Kay also remarked that the rail
reads are tho means whereby thoso fac
tories can he secured, ami, while the
payrolls are extended, the agricultural
interests of tho valley" will tuko care
of themselves. Manufacturing enter
prise is the incentive to progress nlong
tho lines of every other business in ant
community, stnted Mr. Kay, and to this
end the people of Salem and outside
cities should work with a vim.
Colonel Kddy praised the country
through which tho new rnilrnnds are
pushing, and declared not enough spe
cializing was mauo on too great re
sources ready for any ono to tnko ad
vantage. The German Ringing Rociety ren
dered several selections in the native
tongue, and tho banquet eamo to an
-end with optimism filling every breast.

Impanels Special Grand Jury and Tells
It to Ignore Settlement Made by
President Taft.
Chicago, March 17. Open declaration
that the Taft administration erred when
It effocted a settlement with manufac
turers, of oleomargerine on its last day
in office was made here today by Unit
ed States Judge K. M. Landis, in in
structing a special grand jury, whlih
conveued here today to probe the al
leged l,2.r)0,000 oleo frauds. The jur
ors wero ordered not only to Investigate
the charges that manufacturers de
frauded the government, but also to
determine whether certain government
officials were Involved in tho conspiin
cy. Judgo Landis flatly Instructed i'
jurors to disregard I he settlement w'm h
the Inst administration made with the
manufacturers. Ho declared that, if
the manufacturers wero guilty of , rin;
i ti I fraud, they could not obtain Im
munity by paying tho government any
fixed sum.
Concluding his Instructions to the
grand jury, Judge Lnudi snld:
Roasts Federal Officers.
"You will Itioulro whothor attornoys
agents or representatives of the con
panics or federal officers conspired to
defraud the government. You will
have the full power of the court behind
you. If necessary witnesses may bo
summoned from every placo In the
country."
Judge Landis had called a special ses
sion of the grand jury to probe tho
charges, when former Bocrotary of the
Treasury MacVeagli approved of a i c;n
promise by which tho government was

eled, anyway, Judge Landis reiterating
the circumstances, ami adillnjt:
"On March 4 the commissioner of
internal revenue, with the approval of
and the
the socrotary of the treasury, accepted
tho so-called compromise. Thereupon, 1
directed United States District. Attor
ney Wilkerson to ascertain tho terms
of settlement. Ho reported that $101,
000 was paiil in full in settlement.
GOVERNOR WILL SOON
NAME APPOINTEES
Though Ciovornor West will not yet
uiako an announcement of tho appoint
ments, ho stated this morning that ho
has divided whom ho will nuine as stato
insurance commissioner and as mem
bers of tho industrial insurance commis
sion, tho official board created by tho
passago of tho workmen's compensa
tion act. The appointments will be
made in a few days.
There Is much conjecture as to whom
tho appointees may bo. Most people
hnvo little doubt that ('. 1). liubcock,
present corporation clerk, will bo nam
ed as corporation commissioner. Tho
recent ruling of the attorney-general
that members of tho legislature cannot
be nainod to hold offices which they
helped to create eliminates tho enndidu
cy of UepresontBtive Mitchell of Bakor,
who Introduced tho blue sky bill in tho
legislature.
It is believed that T. A. liinehart,
state land agent whose office is abol
ished nt his own recommendation by
recen legislative enactment, will bo ono
of tho three appointees for the iudus
trial commission. Ho is known to be a
candidate for tho place. lie stands
well Willi the governor and the public,
has been an etficient officiul, and "I
together is looked upon as a certnin
appointee.- The other members of the
board to bo are a puzzle to the best
gnessers around the state house.

Wanted to Scrap.
With tho peaceful citizens of West
Salem up in arms, officors of both that
placo and balem frantically seeking
some ten persons on criminal charges
and certain police officers now open to
criticism which will raise particular
.oa, a storm is browing of pretty largo
dimensions, as tho result of a noner-
al battlo which took placo last Satur
day afternoon at tho west end of the
Willamotte river steel bridge.
To bo tho recipionts of what they
claim to tho scum from the Capital City
in tho way of hoodlums, and to bear
the indignity of being compelled to ex
ert their efforts to tho utmost to pre
vent bloodshed as tho result of Salem
policemen ordering nil porsons with an
inclination to engage in a i'roo-for-all
fight out of this county and into Polk
by tho nearest route, is criminal in Sa
lem officers, declare tho West Sida
citizens.
Cause of the Trouble.
F.ugaging in a controversy ovor some
trilling affair in a locnl saloon, eight
or ten young men, nil of ipiestionabla
character according to tho Salem po
lice, extended thoir arguments into
what would have been a fight In tho
alloy behind the Lawrcnco store had it
not been for tho interference of Day
Officer White. A crowd of fifty or
more congregnted to witness tho prom
ised coniliat, but Officer Whito advised
them to sturt nothing of tho kind in
Salem and if they wanted to fight, to
go across tho river.
Determined to pnmiliol each other,
t no men repaired to the west end of tho
Willnnietto bridgo nnd tho fight com
menced. I'ivo of tho men In tho party
began fighting all nt oneo when Oeorgo
flosser, deputy sheriff of Polk county,
intervened. No pulled tho men npa'rt
and partly restored order when ho wa
ndvised that Noel Heed, n fellow with
a shady history in police circles hoth in
Marion and Polk comities, drew a re
volver upon John Sumner. Mr. Oosser
approached Heed nnd the latter whisk
ed his hand to his back pocket and
wnrnod the officer to keep away. Oos
ser made Hoed throw his hands, how
ever nnd searched him. Ho found ni
gun, but nfterwnrds learned that Heed
slipped the weapon to his brother, Tom
Heed, who was holding it in his hand
when scorched by Oosser.
Noel Reed was convicted by a jury in
Marion county circuit court of nssault

ommended leniency to the court nnd'
Iteed wns given a fl."0 fino ami tha
court, after remitting this fine, sus
