Skiff, marshal State House Holly Crop Provides Christmas Gifts This year the Capitol grounds prov ed a veritable Kris Kringlo to six or seven hundred appreciative children. These wero children in point only of Yuletide spirit ' and enthusiasm, for they were, in the main, mature of years and judgment. Santa Claus in this case was George Dunsford, superintendent of the capitol buildings and grounds, under tho cus todianship of the office of secretary of state, and his lawn keepers. The Capitol grounds contain a large number of handsome holly trees and it was cuttings from these that constitut ed the gifts made up in packages eon taining approximately two pounds each of holly. These were distributed to all making request therefor, and number ed 600 or 700 packages that were given out, aggregating 1000 pounds. t'omupt ing this on the basis of the minimum Portland quotation, or 50 cents a pound it will be seen that the holly distribut ed had a monetary value of approxim ately $500. The holly trees from which these cuttings came show small evi dence of it. The holly this year was extremely good and was the occasion cf comment as to its remarkable rich ness of eolor and plentitude of berries.

Farmer of 240 Wilson street, is) ia receipt of the following letter from her brother, Corporal Ther on C. Hoover, Co. A, 355th U. a In fantry: Yirton, Belgium, Ncv. 26, 1918 Dear Sis: Well at last I have a ehanee to write you a letter. I have bean too busy lately and unable to get any paper to write to any one. At present I am ia Belgium, in a city about the size of Ncvers, where we were stationed when we first ar rived overseas, but this place has been affeeted a great deal more by the war. We ara in barracks and have good bunks now and it certainly seems good after sleeping in the mud and rain for go long. I was ton the Argonne sector when the big show ended and am not asham ed to say that I am' glad that it is over. I was also in the St. Mihiel drive I toward Metz, but the last was the worst of all. we drove tbem so fast that the kitchen could not keep up and once we got only two hot meals ia nine days. Also went from the 1st of Nov. till the 12th with just a rain coat to keep me warm and it certainly was cold and wet. But what of itt lit is all over now and 1 am still alive. 1 think I have lost about fifteen pounds since I went to the front on Hopt. 11th. Have not been paid since July and 1 guess there ia a slim chance of getting anything, the way it looks. There is one thing I hope and that is that I got back to Salem before Co. M does or the fellows I left with so that I can stand on the cjorner and see them come home. I hope to- be home between bow and the first of March. For a while J thought I would get to spend Xmas in- New York but I - guess the chances for tat are slim now. When 1 do get home I will eat everything in the house and will sure pity the gro cery foil the first month. Believe me I am going to maae up ior lost time and lost meals, rney gavo us a nau pound of eandy apiece last week and I ata all mine in 30 minutes. Woll the 11th of December makes just a year of overseas service for me. Wish I eould leave for home on that date. We are fixed pretty comfortable here even have eleetrie lights in our room, but they don't do us any good; they wiont burn. I am going to loop with my elotnes off tonight ,f or the first time sines Sept 15th, over two months ago. I wonder what sheets will feel like again. Now don't you Imagine a fellow will appreciate home after all we have gone through.. Wont six weeks once without having a bath. Well sis I must close as this is all tho paper I have so you must pass this letter around and make it answer, for several." i 111 ii ; i Young Hoover is the son of Mr. anl Mrs. B. N. Hoover of 565 North Cot tage street, and enlisted in Co. M the day war waB declared,, boing only 19 years old at that time. He spent his 21st birthday in the trenches and has no doubt seen as much real fighting as any of the Salem boys. This is the first letter recdved from him since the armistice was signed and a postal card received yesterday af ternoon conveys the information that his company has been selected for the march into Germany, which is consid ered quite an honor. 9 ?

I Attempt To Stave Off Sumpter Railroad Strike In an effort to head off a threatened strike on the Sumpter Valley railroad and to keep that road from going bank rupt, Public Service Commissioner Corey Inst night srnt a telegraphic ap peal to C. A. Prouty, dircctm of pub lic service and accounting of the gov ernment railway administration. Commissioner Corey points out that the rates on the road have been in creased until they will tnd no fur ther advance and still permit the ship ment of frieght, as the cost would be too great. His idea, although not ex pressed in the telegram, is that joint rates should be extabliiriicd ovpr the Sumpter Valey and O- W. B. & N., on a basis which would require the latter road to assume some of the cost of op erating the Humpter Valley, as he says the Bumpter Valley Toad is of very great benefit to the 0. W. K. & N. as a feeder road. His telegram to Judge Prouty says: ''In January the federal government assumed control of the Hunuter Valley railway, a narrow gauge line eighty miles in length m this state. Wages of operating men were increased and later the road releawd from federal control. This commission has granted a forty per eent increase ib freight rates on that road, to meet it, which are now far in excess of the rates on other lines in this state. This road now has a four-cent passenger fare Traffic will not and cannot move under further in creases. ''Shop men now demand ineree.se in wages commensurate with men in sim ilar positions on government control led roads which company is unable u meet as it is now operating at a loss. Company has notified railroad men salaries must be reduced December .11. Men threaten strike. This road is Grant county's only outlet by rail. Four sawmills located os its line manufac turing three hundred fifty thousand feet of lumber daily will cease to op erate should the railroad be tied up. Further facts now in possession of D rector Chambers, this road having strived for several months past to se cure assistance through federal officials at Washington. Will you not kindly give this matter preferred attention as it will be little short of a calamity to that locality to have this railroad cease operation " IF YOU DONT PATRONIZE YOUR "HOME TOWN" YOU ARE A SLACKER -THIS1HLBE- YELLO W You can always do better at McAdoo Will Open Law Offic InN.
