Cherrian Minstrels
Made Hit In Portland
The general opinion of those who
saw the Cherrian minstrels Wednesday
evening at tho Heilig In Portland, is
that the show wend over big and that
a most favorable impression was made.
."The following lo'tter was received by
Dr. H. C. Epley from Barclay Achf son,
who had charge of tho entertainment
for the soldiers;
"The Cherrian singers certainly car
ried the houso by storm. I was tre
mendously pleased with the whole per
formance and went tho boys to know
It.
" As you know, the house was packed
and every one had a good time. 1
was with the soldiers when they were
returning to Vancouver and they were
unanimous in their enthusiasm.
"Will you please extend my special
thanks to the little lady Genevieve
Harbour, who danced so acceptably and
do not forget the lady who throw the
rand all over the audience. Every
thing was good, I will depend on you
to tell everyone that gave a special
number that they made a real hit.
"Tho Cherrians are a live bunch and
a credit to your city and well worth the
nfmey invested, I nhu wish to extend
my thanks to the Salem Commercial
club for its generous part in providing
us a most delightful and memorable
evening."

.'iiior, first; Emily Loose, junior, sec
ond and Turfield Schindler, sophomore,
third. In th6 miscellaneous speaking,
Leslie Springer, senior, first, Kathryn
Uibbard, sophomore second, and Howard
Sanders, junior, third.
Captain Hobson became just a little
peeved last evening when people in the
balconies at the armory made so much
noise iu walking around and especially
when those who were not interested in
prohibition began leaving during the
latter part of the address. The captain
thought it was just a little discourteous
and judging from remarks heard, others
thought so also.
In return for the fine banquet and
good time given the Elks when a dinner
was served them at the high school by
the domestic class of tlie school, the

K. Martin, at one bf tho big Shipyards
down on the Columbia river yesterday.
When asked to explain he said the work
was so easy and the pay so good that it
seemed to him hardly right to tak.9 the
money. H-o is one of the trusted offi
cers at one of the big yards and as
usual can be counted on to more than
earn his salary. Geo. H. Grover, a for
mer Salem contractor and builder was
found at th6 sam.e yard. "

Although there has been much writ
ten about the scarcity of rubber and the
needs of the government, it has not as:
ei been brought honi.- to those owning!
automobiles. However, there seems to'
l)e some real truth in the reports, as
I today H. V. Overington, factory repre
sentative of tho Firestone Tire Co., of
. Akron, Ohio, who is in charge of the
j Pacific Const division, states that the
! government needs for crude rubber is
Km-h that his factory now is putting out I
j just 50 per cent of its manufacture of j
:one vear ago. He also says the rubber:
illctmrtnt to the factories is such that j
theie is a chance that within two
months pneumatic tires may be entirely
off the market. Tho government is al
sy ,-raduaiiy cutting down the amount
of ruobti to be used for the manufac
ture of &blid tires.

The penitentiary baseball team is
looking for somo real first class baas
ball players, but not to join their team.
Not at all, but just to play against
them. The pen boys claim to have one
of the fastest teams in the northwest
and when they mixed with the Willam
ette University, the score was two to
one against the students. With the In
dians, the score was a tie. With this vic
tory and a half in their favor, the pen
team is now open to engagements es
pecially Saturday and Sunday after
noons. If interested, address T. E. Wil
son, chairman athletic committee, rural

The Bantam Cochin rooster sold at
auction at tli.o session of the Elks lodge
last evening, the proceeds to be given to
the H."i Cross brought a total of 428.81.
It really didn't cost any one man that
much, as the plan of auction was that
whenever a man bid, he had to put up
that amount as security of his good in
tentions. Tho bird as finally knocked
down to Harry M. Levy brought some
thing over $2 but the amount of each
bid as deposited with the secretary,
put $28.91 in to the Bed Cross fund. 3.
A. Manning, of Amity, wrote that the
rooster's real name was "Yamhill Bill"
an Elk in good standing." Yamhill Bill"
was sent to Albany this morning, with
the label "Certainly I am an Elk."
where he will again be sold at auction
and continue his jouraey from lodg.o
to lodgo, adding materially to the Bed
Cross funds.
Let the poor candidates rave. Most
of them won't havo a chance mucli
longer.
If it were not for those pesky voter
what a walkaway being a candidate
might be.
