The office of councilman must be

ner, for J. IL Small has brought suit
abainst II. B. Crawford former coun
cilman of the scrappy littlo city of
Turner and also against H. L, Karl
mayor of the. city. Plaintiff alleges
that said defendant Crawford was at
ono tirrio a member ofthe city coun
cil. That the charter provides that a
councilman losing his resideuco or fail
ing to attond three successive meetings
tof the council loses his office automat
ically. Ho alleges Crawford has for
feited! his office, but still attempts to
hold it, and that in so doing ho is back:
ed by the mayor who officially recog
nizes him as such councilman. Plain
tiff further alleges that ho was elect
ed to fill the vacancy caused by Craw
ford leaving the cily, and that the
mayor does not recognize him as a
member of the council. Wherefore he
asks a docroo restraining said Craw
ford attempting to act as councilman
and the mayor from recognizing him as
such, and that plaintiff bo declared tlio
city councilman.

The rural carriers on routes 1 and 2,
going from Salem into Polk county,
have been somewhat handicapped by
the closing of the inter-county bridge.
As it is, they must leave their vehicles!
on the other side of the river, and carry
the mail across on the train. This delays
them about two hours in getting started
out on their routes, owing to the car
schedule.

Three sections of troop trains went
through Salem last night for the south.
The first section passed through about
10:30 and contained 400 troops from
Minnesota. A large number of Salem
people gathered at the S. P. depot and
waited until 4 o'clock this morning in
hopes of seeing some of the Salem boys
who have been stationed at Vancouver
and elsewhere, but as far as could be
learned none of the Oregon boys went
through. The engineer corps stationed
at Vancouver have been under orders
to move for more than a week.

Considerable difficulty In the way of
bad roads has been experienced by the

the Liberty neighborhood. West of Lib

corner is a stretch of road which thei
carriers have found impossible to get
over, and Postmaster Huckestoin has
beeu forced temporarily to cut out thisj
section of the route in order to keep
a carrier ontue job at all. Three air- 9 sccretarv at one of the army Y. M.

The Red Cross membership campaign
o-
had netted over 2,000 new members up
to noon today. Of this number approxi
mately 1600 were within Salem. Only a
few of the country districts have yet
been heard from and of these the re
ports were incomplete and scattering.
St. Joseph's auxiliary continues to lead
in point of new members secured with
in tne city, reporting loo new member
ships at noon. The Congregational aux
iliary was second with 137, the First
Methodist Episcopal church auxiliary
third with 116 members and Piety Hill,
auxiliary next with 113. Large reports
were expected to come in berore even
ing as the dav has been very favorable
for canvassing.

Portland will probably have to go
without bananas for Christmas as a re
sult of the recent flood waters in the
Willamette valley. Freight traffic has
been delayed about two days. The ban
ana train, which was scheduled to rtach
Portland will not arrivo there until
about Sunday. The fruit will be in the
"dead green" stage which means that
from three to four days must elnpse be-'
fore it is ripened for consumption. Sa
lem will not be affected by tho short
age, as wholesales here received a car
of bananas several days since and the
fruit is just now becoming ripe and
mellow. Tho delay of the fruit train
will also mean a shortage of Christinas
oranges which will affect both Port
land and Salem to a greater- or lesser j
extent.
