COME WITH THE E08E TO MAKE SALEM THE IE HOME Air. and Mrs. I. 0. Curtis, recently of Aberdeen, South Dakota, have purchas ed the Adolph place at 1C45 State street nd intend to make Salem their perma nent home. With them come Mr. and Mrs. Austin and family also of Aber deen, who like Salem very much and in tend to settle in our city. Mr. Curtiss has for years been a well known attorney of Aberdeen and settles Salem through the urgent request ol many friends who have preceded him to the Cherry City. As yet he is undecid ed whether to follow the profession of the lev or .to entoe business,,..

Eev. C. Buechler, Weil-Known Pioneer Minister, Succeeds Eev. P. A. Schmidt, Resigned. Ifev. C. Buechler, a well known pion eer German minister, has been chosen temporary pastor of the German Luth eran church, on East State street, by the trustees of that institution. Rev. Buechler succeeds Rev. P. A. Schmidt, who resigned his position recently. The German Lutheran church is des tined to be one of the leading institu tions of the kind in the state. The mem bership has been enlarged greatly dur ing the past fpw years, and every one connected with the church does his part in upbuilding it and encouraging the German-speaking public in this eounty to attend and take part in the work. Rev. Tiueehler is past 70 years of age He is a pioneer German minister and highly respected by not only members of the German churches, but by all with whom he has come in contact. The aged psstor is genial, intelligent and amply fit for the position to which he has been appointed, and some A ser mons are promised for those who attend the State street Lutheran church. The newly-appointed pastor can be found at 1(140 East State street at any time his services are reeled, and it goes without saying that the veteran minister will receive numerous calls. "SALEM BINDS" WOULD HAVE BEST SOUND SOME THINK The suggestion that Salem have "Royal Annes" to boost does not meet with favor in many quarters, it being asserted that the name is clumsy, and would probably result in ridicule. Be fore it was long before the public it would be changed to Mary Ann. it Is feared. "Salem flings" would bring better advertising, a number of people suggested today. "Bing" has an en ergetic sound that is in keeping with the progressive spirit of the second city of Oregon, it is urged. The Columbia and Willamette rivers are like the eost of living rising; but unlike that, will aoon go down again. Van Winkle Resigns f from State Office! I. H. Van Winkle. After more than nine years as a pub lic servaut, I. H. Van Winkle, first assistant attorney general, will enter into the private practice of his pro fession. Mr. Van Winkle has handed in his resignation to take effect July 1. Mr. Van Winkle is a native of Linn county, and while in that county served in the capacity of deputy assessor for several years. After leaving there, Mr. Van Winkle came to Salom and entered the Willamette university, graduating from the college of liberal arts in 1398, and from the law depart ment in 1901, For three years after his graduation Mr. Van Winkle was connected with the law firm of Car son & Adams and from there he went into his present position in the at torney general's office. - Only once has he sought to leave the attorney general's office and that was in 1910 when he received the Repub lican nomination for circuit judge. As Air. Van Winkle p.its it: "Th'rj wai no use in trying to beat such a popular mun as Judge Galloway." At all events, Mr. Van Winkle was a good loser and agnin took his old place with his usual good grace. Mr. Van Winkle's resignation was the outcome of the desire to enter a private practice for himself. ITe will not enter any partnership but will branch out for himself. Will Aid Sheep Owners. Washington, .Tune 12. The United States forest service today announced that owing to drought in the west, en dnngering the interests of sheep owners, grazing areas in certain of the national forests would be opened to the sheep.

SITUATION NOT ALARMING Outside Agitators to Blame for Trouble at Oregon City, and Au thorities Now Control. Governor West this morning gave out the following statement regarding the strike situation in Oregon City: "My trip to Oregon City was pro moted by a desire to got tne facts as to the situation there. I found the local authorities had the matter well in hand. "The reports sent out by both sides have been colored, and with ft view of strengthening their own cause. As I see it, thore is nothing alarming about the situation. Practically all those un der arrest had been for a short time in the employ of one of the mills, and, be coming dissatisfied with , conditions foolishly let themselves be led into trouble by a few out of town agitators. The reports as to the great property damage were unfounded, such damage i amounting to little or nothing. "No one should question the right of an employe to quit work if he is dis satisfied as to bis pay or conditions surrounding his employment, nor his right to secure every honorable means to bring about in every way a better ment of the condition of his fellow la borers and himself, but it is not only unwise but dangerous for any body of men to attempt to correct an alleged wrong through midnight raid, intimi dation or destruction of property. Welcomes Workmen. "The door of this office always has been, and always will be open to any and every workmen having grievance, wishing our help in bringing about a betterment of his condition, but it will not tolerato, under any circumstances, the destruction of property, and any movement in this direction will be promptly taken care of. "I have had a tnlk with the boys in jail, and most of them aro pretty decent looking fellows, and had they not been led on by agitators from the outside, would never have gotten Into trouble My advice would be to turn them loose and wipe the slate. If there are any dif ferences to adjust, this office will be glad to assist in every way jjossiblo, but it insists that such negotiations arc going to bo carried on by both sides in an orderly and lawful manner, and everybody, rich or poor, is going to get a square deal." NORTHERN PACIFIC MAKES RECORD IN TUNNEL WORK rnxmn rnitsB mussd wins. J Taeoma, Wash., Juno 12. What Is believed to bo a new record for speed in tunnel digging was established here today when tho Point Dofianco bore of the Northern Pacific railroad was com pleted. The tunnel is 4100 feet in length and was begun December 10, 1912. When tracks have been laid through tho tunnel, it will give tho Northern Pacific a water grade line to Portland, eliminating the present troublesome grade and reducing the distance to the Oregon city by several miles.

LIBERALS WIN IN AUSTRALIA BY BARE MAJORITY fntTrt e i'aisii whs.) Melbourne, Australia, June 1'.'. 'Ihc counting of the federal election figures has sufficiently advanced to indicate that the libernls possess a bare r.a.iori ty. In view of this fact the I'i.h.T gov ernment will resign, probably on Thurs day. The situation is rompli -ated mid there is likely to be another election ihortly, for It will hardly be possible to rarry on with the strong labor ma jority in the senate, pledged to pan legislation appproved by the party. Suggested Union Pacific Stock holders Fix Minimum for S. P. Stock. THIS PLAN JS OPPOSED Judge Smith Says It Would Enable Union Pacific to Retain Control of S. P. Lines. 'united prisi utsco wise. St. Paul, Minn., June 12. Frequent clashes betweeu the railroad attorneys and Judge Smith marked tho hearing to day in the Unitod States circuit court of the dissolution plans of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads. 8. II. Loomis, representing the Union Pacific, suggested that Union Pacific stockholders be allowed to fix a mini mum price for thoir Southern Pacific stock. Judge Smith immediately ob jected to this plaa, asserting it would enable the Union Pacific stockholders to fix a prohibitive price, thereby en abling them to retain control of the Southern'Pacifio. , Attorney-General McReynolds, Judge Robert Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific executive committee, and Frank Kellogg, the original "trust buster," were present. Loomis then suggested that the time limit for disposal of tho Btock be fixed for a year, but Judgo Smith said it should not exceed six months. Judge Smith then proposed that tho court fix a maximum price, above which the rail roads could not go. Loomis thought the suggestion unjust. Flat objection to both plaus offered was voiced here today, by Attorney General McReynolds. The head of tho department of justice took no active part in tho proceedings before Judgo Smith until Union Pacific attorneys broached a plan to have Union Pacific stockholders exchange thoir Southern Pacific stock for stock in the Pennsylvania system, tho Penn sylvania road having offered to ex change Baltimore & Ohio stock held by it for Southern Pacific stock. . McRey nolds was on his feet instantly with objections. Court adjourned after the attorney general promised to present the gov ernment's attitude on the Pennsylvania plan. Tho court took both plans sug gested hy tho Union Pacific attorneys under advisement, nllowing Attorney General McReynolds ten days to consid er tho new phnse. AT ROSE CARNIVAL Salem Residents Are Sparing No Ef fort to Properly Advertise Event to Be Held Here. If a good majority of Portland citi zens do not board a train for Salem during tho coming Cherry fair, and es pecially on tho Fourth of July, it will not bo tho fault of certain local boost ers who ahve been assisting tho Rose City folks in making their rose carni val a success for the past few days. Both members of the Cherry fair fi nance committee and other cilineus of Salem never lost an opportunity to put in a plug for the capital and its coming events while they wero in the Metro polis, and many I'ortlunilers pledged themselves to visit here either on the .1, 4 or 5 of July. Get busy "while the gettings' good,'' is the motto adopted by the Cherry fair and Fourth of July boost ers, and an attempt will be made to reach every citizen in the valley this month by either letter or telephone. To get everybody interested will be the aim of the different committees and to this end the publicity committee will, work diligently. There are sev eral Portland people now doing some good boosting for the local fuir and the rnilrond couipunies, as usual, are com ing to theifront with all the emonr Bgemelit possible. According to different members of the finance committee, collections nre not difficult to secure this year and by the time the entire territory is canvassed, a nice sum of money should be on hand with, w hich to engage some new and strictly original features for the three ilar event.
