The work of remodelling the Halvor-sen-Burns
building has just begun, tfce
first move being tho tearing up of the
old plank floor preparatory to laying
the cement floor.
Another transaction that promises an
addition to the business volume of
Salem is the recent purchase of the old
Tumor block, at the corner of Com
mercial and Ferry streets, by David
Samuel, who for the past eight years
has been a resident of this city. He
was for a period of years engaged ex
tensively in tho handling of second
hand goods throughout tho northwest,
mnkinir his hcadauartem in Portland.
His faith in the future of Salem is
made evident by his heavy investment
in thi9 three story brick block, 82 feet
by 165 feet in extent. Ho contemplates
tho complete remodelling of the build
ing so that tho lower floor can be used
for store rooms in which ho will locate
himself in some line of trade. The up
per floors will either be fitted up for
office or factory purposes. The build
ing has been owned for a number or
years by Louis H. Turner and his sis
ter, Mrs. C. A. Davis of Turner, and it
will continue to be kjiown as the Tur
ner block.
The Salem public, which has been at
tracted by the advertising of the In
dependent Meat Market, has a further
guarantee of enterprise by this com
pany, who have just leased the room
at 121 South Commercial street in or
der to obtain larger quarters. They
will move into the new location as
soon as it can be remodeled and fit
ted up for their purposes. Manager

Opposition Interrupts His
Speech Many Times With
Derisire Comments.
By Frank J. Taylor
(United Press I'lcli Correspondent.)
Weimar, Germany, Feb. 7. Chancel
lor Ebert, opening the national assem
bly here yesterday afternoon, greeted
that body as the "sovereign power by
which tho toru.an people will have seif
rule"
The speaker was interrupted often by
derisive comments from the opposition
delegates and was encouraged ouly by
mild applause from his S'f porters, al
though the latter appeared to be great
ly in the majority. Once ho was forc
ed to pause and plead with the oppo
sition to hear him.
In referring to tho war, Ebert said
it was lost by the kaiser and his gov
ernment. Ebert declared he had not lost hope
of reuniting Germany, and that he wel
comed Austria into tho new German
state. He appealed to all men and wo-
mont to work their hardest,
lest we
Prus-
8ianism and Hohoiizolleruiara sre gone
forever. It is the duty of the assembly
to make Germany a strong socialist re
public. "The time of kings, princes and 'di
vine right' is forever vanished," con
tinued the chancellor. "This assembly
represents the big Tcpublics.n majority
of the German people who desire peace
and Bclf government.
"We havo lost the war. This is of
no consequence to tho revolution. It
was Max of Baden's imperial govern
ment which made the first step toward
the crmistice that rendered us defense
less. But we would have fallon any
way, as our allies' defeat made our mil
itary and economic situation hopeless."
The roll call showed 287 delegates
prosent.
Had Business-Like Air,
The assembly assumed a business-like
air that contrasted sharply with the
festive appearance of tho theater jn
which the meeting was held, ' Great
masses of flowers brought from Bcr:
Un decked the stage, whilo other parts
of tho building were buried under a J
of tho delegates, however, removed
their coats, with the uir of men about I
to undertake a task demanding great!
physicr.l as well ns mental exertion, j
Some of the delegates obviously unused j
to taking part in public gatherings,! T
were self conscious and uneasy, respond-1 X
ing to foil call snnppily and shrilly, j
The cntiro German cabinet and its'
largo staff crowded into the rostrum.
Distinguished visitors, including Presi
dent Scitz of the Austrian republic, sat
behind the ministers. Ordinary spec
tators were few, owing to the limited
capacity of tfio upper gallery, to which
they were restricted. Nowspaper cor
respondents, movie operators and pho
tographers totalled more than 200. .
Crowds outsido the theater finally
gave up trying to push their way into
the already overcroWded building and
gave their full attention to a band con
cert in a nearby park. :

Portland, Ore., Feb. 7. Among the
wild, unfounded stories that havo been j
printed in some newspapers of the
country anent the Seatlo striko is one
that thousands of strikers rushed to
Portland, overcrowding thc hotels.
It may have been suggested by the
fact that a few wealthy residents of
Seattlo have eomo to get away from the
tinned food diet in tho Pnget Sound
city as a result of tho food famine
there.
In some cases, wholo Seattle families
