The water works company claims that having supplied water for the fountain at the I. add and Hush bunk, the city is estopped from desig nuting n free fountain.

The social department of the Com mercial club will not only be a place for men, but will als.i be the center of social gatherings for the families of members of the club, according to 1). I, Howard, director of the social department. It is Mr. Howard's inten tion to form a Ladies Auxiliary and Service 4 ! ! give them the privilege of the assemb ly room of the club for dunces and af ternoon parties. A line victrola will be placed in the rooms and everything made pleasant for small gatherings. In addition to the assembly room being open at all times, Mr. Howard intends to provide for an entertainment once a mouth, with singers tin talent from the local theatres. When Theodore Both was elected director ol the industrial department of the Commercial club, he addressed a few remarks on the situation and in cluded in the remarks was the opinion that Salem needed a lux factory. Then he said the factory wits not only need ed, but that he wou1i do all he could to establish one., A few" weeks ago he organized, a company, bought the machinery and also four car loads of llax, and withiu a week or two, Salem will have made a start on what many believe will be one of the leading in dustries of the country. Rev. James Elvtn, pastor of the First Congregational church, iius been up pointed chaplain of the regiment of volunteers now being raised by Col. (lantenbein of Portland. This ap pointment will not jn any way inter fere with Mr. Klvin's regular work unless Mhe regiment should be culled into service. Just at present there is little prospect of any active service. Mr. Elvin is now active in civic work, serving not only on a chautuuquu com mittee, but also giving much of his time us chairman of the relief commit tee of the Sale Patriotic League. "Patriotism is surely not lacking iu Salem," said the Rev. James Klvin this afternoon. "This morning a gen tleman came to nie and subscribed $10 a month for six months and agreed to outinue the monthlv pavment ns long as the bovs are nt the front." Other reports nre coming in Of the generosity and patriotism of those who arc able to give. At the mass meeting this evening in the armory, Mr. Klvin will present the pledges. The amounts re ceived and pledged this evening will be used partly for a relief fund and partly for a sum to be sent to the boys us u mess fund. A new rule has been established by the post office department relative to the shipping of fresh fruits by mail.

Every auto reported stolen in this city has been recovered, according to Chief of Police Welsh. Sometimes it took a week or more but the machines ultimately were returned, in con trast to this record is a report just re ceived from San Francisco. From Jan unry 1 to June HO, 41 machines were taken from the Hay city that have never been found. Of these Ho were Fords. v j The Chautauqua Sunday night mov ies are having rather rough sledding in the Willamette valley. In Eugene, the objection was made by the moving picture shows and ns a result, no pic-, tares were shown lust night at the Ku gene chautniHiia. In falem, the objec tion was made 'by several members of the Salem Ministerial association, re sulting in the promise of Kllison-White to put on n satisfactory program next Sunday evening. No admison will be charged at the meeting to be held nt the armory this evening. It is a general mnss meeting to which nil citizens nre in vited to hour a discussion of what can be done for the relief of the families oi'Coiupnny M, who are in ned of re lief to some extent. For the dunce to follow the meeting, a charge of oil cents a couple. The balcony will be free for spectators. Hundreds were turned away last evening at the First Congregational church us it was generally understood that Lieutenant Niemeycr would tell of his experiences at Ypres while serv ing in the Knglish army. The lieu tennnt will speak at the opera house Tuesday evening, telling of his experi ences iu trench life. The lecture was originally advertised for Friday even ing, but on account of the Chautau qua, it was thought best to give the lecture tomorrow evening, this is the. first opportunity of a Snlem audience; to hear tales of thr European wnr, from one who has actually been on the front. i II. F. Rittman, president of the Cher- ry City Raking company, was in the j city Sunday conferring with members j of the Commercial club. It was through: the efforts of the Commercial club; that Mr. Rittmnn's attention was call ed to Salem as a distributing point.1 With one factory in Portland, the com-' pnny visited several cities in the val-l ley and filially decided that with the I number of towns within a few miles of ; Salem, this city offered the greatest! advantages. Albany, Kugene, Corvnl- li and in fact all the towns of the val-i ley will be supplied from the Salem I factory. Points to tne north ami west of Portland will be supplied from the Portland factory. The near side stop has been adopted by the greater number of street car; systems throughout the country and, here is one instnucc iu which Salem' will beat Portland to it. In all; street cars in Salem are posted no-; tices notifying its patrons that after August 1, all cars will make the near) side stop, which means that the car! will stop before crossing the street.! It is understood that nn ordinance will, be passed by the Portland city conn-, cit providing for the near side stop, but it will hardly go into effect be- j fore September 1. The near side, stop! has' been effective iu reducing the; number of accidents and to reduce the. geimi nazarU ot accident. Any now, after Augudt 1, Salem people will be strictly up to date while boarding a street car. -" How a Merman Fokker aeroplane brought down a French nnd also a Bri tish machine in a thrilling air fight was told to a Journal reporter this after noon by Lieutenant C. W. Nieineyer, who will lecture on "The Kurupeuii War" in the Grand opera house, Sa lem, on Tuesday, at 8:15. "Dawn was just breaking when we saw a German Fokker machine uccompanicd with an other and larger aircraft making their way rapidly towards the British lines. For several minutes they hovered and circled above our heads, apparently en gaged on reconnaissance, as no bombs were dropped. All the time our own anti-aircraft guns were burking, their bursting shells all around the enemy muchines. The big, white puffs of smoke looking really pretty ns they showed up against a perfect deep blue sky. All eyes were focussed on these tiny objects perhaps 12,000 feet up iu the air, when suddenly from about three miles to our rear three allied nin chiues were seen to rise together nnd proceed towards the German. Everyone realized tha wo were likely to see one of those rare air battles. Before the al lies' machines had traveled far, one o'f them, judging from the noise of its en gine, seemed to have sonic trouble and was forced to come down. One of our own machines circled above it for per haps IJ0 secouds before proceeding on its way to give fight to lie hawk of aircraft. The enemy machines seemed to disregard the oncomers nnd continued with their observations, while our inn chiues gradually climbed higher and higher. When nearly the height of the Germans the Fokker wgent out to meet one of our machines. Although you could see no signs of firing, one could easily see by the mnnouvering of ma chines thut something wus going on. The big German, machine rose above the French machine and, it seemed, almost immediately hit the French machine which for a short time 'cume down steadily, but when about 2,000 feet from the ground took lire and tdunged down to earth. The British aviators in the one machine made some uncunnv movements. At times, like u bird, imi tated being hit, only to suddenly swerve and take up the fight aguiu. Alas! It was not tor along, lor our pet was bad ly hit, and she en me down one thick truil of smoke and flnmo fully 10,000 feet, nnd ns she hit the ground there was hardly a sound to lie heard nil along our particular part of the front. For several minutes even the artillery stopped its roaring .as the gunners could iiol irsjsi uiin iiili uir ouei. iiiu in,- minute or so that it took the British machine to reach the enrth gave the watchers even' a worse sensation 'than thut war of sensations is able to give. For were not two men, the bravest of the brave, being flushed through the air amid a muss of flame to the earth from which they enme nnd to which the little that would be left of them would be in but a shnrt time returned 1 Two small wooden crosses mark the spot where they are buried, and on each is a laurel wreath dropped in our lines by German airmen ns a tribute to their gallantry. One of the 'few signs in the war that there is still left in the German em pire traits of the "Kultur" so greatly vaunted by the despot kaiser.
