He Likes Salem.

Frank e. DeParcq, manager Of the
Western Union office at Tacoma, is
in the city as a witness in a lawsuit
in which the company is defendant.
Some time last February, when Mr..
DeParcq was manager of the Salem
Office, he received a message for Fra.
zier e. Long, but was unable to find the
firm, and it was several days before
the message was finally delivered
Later Frazier & Long brought a suit
against the Western Union Company
for damages amounting to about $4O0,
alleged to have been sustained by
them, owing to the non-delivery OF the
message. Mr.. DeParcq is a material
witness for the company in this case,
and will be here until the matter is
tried out, which will be sometime this
week.
He is glad to be in Salem for a few
days, for, he says, Salem seems more
like home TO him than any place he
was ever in, and he claims more warm
and true friends in this city than in
any other place, and these are glad
to see him here again, and express
the hope that he will some day return
to Salem to reside permanently.

slider several matters demanding i'm.
mediate attention. A committee on
ways and means was appointed for the
purpose OF looking after the finances

The matter Of appointments to the
minor offices came up, and the com.
mittee again decided not TO make any

but to give the aldermen free rein
TO do the best possible for the city.
The committee also decided TO hold
a mass meeting OF the members OF
the club in the near future, the exact
date TO be fixed at the next meeting,
and TO secure some good speakers to
address the club at that time.
