"Much money is spent by the inter ests in presenting congress with insid ious and dishonest views of the effect of the tariff,'1 continued Senator Lane. ''But because of their selfishness in Sitting tight to attain their individuaul nds, the manufacturers have defeated their own purpose." Senator McCumher asked Lane what legislation he was interested in. "Wheat, oats, barley, flax and po tatoes, whirh are disastrously affected by the new tariff bill," was the answer.

Spirited Campaign Is In Progress to Get Funds for Big Cherry Fair Celebration. Tho finance committee of the Cherry Fair has started out on a campaign to raise funds with which to furnish the necessaries for the big three day cele bration, and it behooves every "feller" in the city to go down in hip pocket and bring out that packet which gener ally contains a yellow boy or two. If he can't muster up a shin-plaster, he can at least donate a few big, iron dollars or pledge himself for a few bones to help make the Cherry Faid and the Fourth of July celebration the greatest ever. The burden will not be placed on tho shoulders of a few, as tho finance com mittee will visit every mother-in-son of Salem's population old enough to "kick in" with some financial goods. Don't make any difference what you give, give something. It is not neces sary that legal tender be presented when the committee' calls; a check, a diaft, a mortgage any old thing that means money, will do.

Tho weather man is taking a strangle hold on his end of the boosting issue and by the time the Third of July arrives, thousands of millions of red fruit which has made Salem famous will be on ex hibit.

It don't make any difference what the other fellow do nates, it is what one can give or pledge tha tis noeossary to make the Cherry Fair and the Fourth of July a rousing success. Salem 's citizens will be called upon by the members of the finance committee who will bo armed with neat cards.

NEW NAME IS PROPOSED Earl A. Gregg Elected Temporary Sec retary of Promotion Body and Other Action Taken. At a meeting held by the board of governors of tho Illihee club last night, a special committee was appointed and directed to secure quarters for the pro motion department of the club as soon as possible. I". G. Shipley, L. Aldrich and 11. O. White coniposo tho members of the committee, and they will start out today in search of suitable rooms in which to conduct the commercial branch of the club. The board voted in favor of a propo sition to change the name of the Illihee club to the Salem Commercial Club. The members of the club will vote on the plan later. It was believed by the board of governors that the new name is more suitable for the consolidated or ganization, and that it will have more effoet in forwarding the interests of both the social and tho promotion branches. Temporary Secretary. Earl A. Gregg was elected temporary secretary of the promotion body, and ho will serve as such until a permanent appointment has been made. It is roquostion that all Salem people owning automobiles assist the organiza tions in welcoming the Royal Oaks, of Oakland,, who will bo in this city next Sunday evening. Native sons of Cali fornia should assist in any event, as tho visitors are Califomians snd should be given tho proper reception,' 'PINK WHISKERS" DOES NOT LIKE PUBLICITY UNITED PRESS UlASED WISE.)

"Is it true that you intend to shave 'cm offf '' a reporter timidly asked the Illinois senator horn today, and then" Jim Ham unburdened his soul , "I am tired of being identified by my whiskers and clothes," he hissed through his pink foliagn, which actual ly quivered with his heat. "I don't mind yon newspaper boys kidding mo. but I don't think I ant getting a square dcnl. You boys have seen me fighting along here for a good many years try ing to make good. I believe I have just a little somotliing in mo besides shall we say 'eccentricities' and these eccentricities get all tho atten tion. I'd like to be treated in a digni fied manner once in a while." Councilman Rigdon's motion to inves tigate the Salem police department, which prevailed in tho council Monday night, l" the proper thing in view of the stories of infinite variety that are in circulation, more or less connected with this department. Tha trouble with the motion is that it does not go far enough, for the mayor and the conn cil, or some of its members at least, are also connected with these stories, ru mors and gossip that are so prevalent just now. The mayor and some of the comiciluien are, In fact, so connected and mixed tin with the muddle that the investigation, if mnde at all, should be lirond enough to include all those con nected with the matters covered by (hi stories concerning the police ami fire departments. There is a hirge quantity of rather dense and pungent sinolte, nn.l therefore, undoubtedly, some lire. The mayor's name is meiilinned in tlioo stories; so nre those of several rouncil men, and to imiUe an invostimitjon tbnt ! will investigate it looks ss though the ( committees should have thepower to go I into all ramifications of the subject Columbia rher continued to rise todny and now stands at 23 feot above low water.

Bequest Is Made By Railroad Commis sion That Evidence Be Laid Bofore Grand Jury. The state railroad commission has requested Walter Evans, district attor ney of Portland, to prepare and lay be fore the grand jury evidence to show that the commission merchants of Port land have failed to observe the law which was recently passed by the last legislature which dofines the business of a commission merchant and gives the railroad commission the power to regulate their business. Acccording to the law a commission merchant must have a license to ship and sell produce on account of shipper consigner. Thus far tho commission merchants of Portland have failed to obtain such licenses. There is a petition afloat, headed by .Austin T. Buxton, of Forest Grove, which coinond the law and states that such a law will compel good treatment for the growers. Governor Johnson Will Not Interfere in Case of Bloodthirsty Jacob Oppenheimer. (united rasas leased wise.) Sacramento, Cal., Juno 4. It was learned today from rolinblo sources hero that Jacob Oppenheimer, the "hu man tiger," condemned to bo hanged Friday at Folsom for assaulting a fol low prisoner, will be executed, and that Governor Johnson will not interfere. Although tho governor will not dis cbs tho case, it is known that every preparation for tho hanging has been inado, and that Oppenheimer will go to Itia death on tho appointed day. No man can arrange the furniture in a room to suit a woman. The stories concerning the polico and fire departments all have the samo "mix," Mayor Sleeves ordered this, or Mayor Steeves did that; Councilman Itlank instructed this, or Councilman Blanker ordered that, or did something else. If tho committee is to investigate charges ill which the police, fire depart ment, mayor and eouncilmen are Inter mingled or hopelessly ami iudistinguisli ably as a plate of hash, then it seems the only way to have a real, genuine in vestigntion, Is to disintegrate and an alyze the hash, go through tho whole combination. Of course, this plan would have some drawbacks tinder the existing circum stances, for the mayor, having the up HMnting of the coinmitteiM4, could, if he -o desired, easily select one that would ho qualified to artistically use the whitewash brush. We do not menu to insinuate this will be done, simply pointing out that it could be, and that "imeiicutly the makeup of the com mittee will be watched with eonsidera ole interest.

E El In Sentencing Mayor Vinton for Con tempt of Court Points Out the Beaason Therefor. Judge Galloway, at McMinnvillo Monday, in the matter of the contempt of court case of Mayor Vinton, of that city, sentenced the mayor to pay a fine of $300, and that ho be confinod in the county jail six months, of until he obeys tho order of the court. In pass ing sentence Judge Galloway said: "This, perhaps my last official act in this county, Is certainly most painful to perform, especially as the defendant has ever been a very dear friond and estoomed official of this court since my Incumbency. "Howovor, the issues have been im posed upon tho court, without reason or justification, hence I must do my du ty without fear, favor or personal con sideration. "To wavor or refuse at this time would be an admission that the court was without power to enforce its own orders, and that one-man power wa su preme In McMinnvillo, as well as other cities acting tinder similar charters. "That is that the mayor and city re corder or eithor alhne has the power to hold up any public Improvement or legislative onactmcnt authorized by tho city council, simply by doclining to at tach thoir names as authorized by law. and when commandod and instructed to do so, under mandamus proceedings, they may claim immunity undor notice of appeal to the stiprome court, which course, if allowed, would practically stop tho wheels of city government for an Imlofinlto poriod. 'The plnintiffs in tho first or in junction suit filed virtually admit that they had no cause of action in law or equity, by voluntarily taking non suit, but not until testimony taken in said suit established the fact that the city council of the city of McMinnvillo acted strictly within tho law as set out in the city charter and ordinances thereto, in awarding the paving contract to tho Montague-O'Reilly Company, which was but 4210 difforont in the amount to tho next competing bid, which has caused all this trouble and expensive litigation. 210 is certainly a small compensation for a public Improvements costing near 1!S0,000. "Tho city council acted under the advice of eminent counsel, and, as the reconl and evidence show, studiously and conscientiously considered the best Interests of the city, as well as the largo majority of tho property owners and taxpayers interested. "The judgment of the court is a fine of WOO and six months' confinement In the county jail, without bail, or until such timo as the defendant, William T. Vinton, sees fit to obey the order of this court, and it Is so ordered."
