MAKES
DARING
DESCENT

New York, July 1S.-Members OF
en- employees beneficial association
who engaged Balloonist w. A. Meek
er to make an ascent and parachute
drop at a Halam picnic, this evening,
got more than their moneys worth.
Meeker not only went up 1000 feet,
but when his parachute attachment
failed to work, he jabbed holes in the
hot-air bag. and made a descent that
startled the spectators. Missing
ducking by good luck, the balloonist
made a flying leap and landed him
self on the Willis avenue bridge pier
unharmed.
The hitch in the parachute was
due to tangled ropes, and when
Meeker, who had been seated on a
swinging bar, suddenly began to
scramble up a rope until he reached
the gas bag, the people below
thought It a part of the performance,
and cheered. A moment later the
aerial artist had pierced half dos-
en- holes in the bag, which shot to-
ward the earth. AS II dropped IL
swayed back and forth, and Meeker,
who had left his seat on the bar, was
seen to hold his seat with difficulty.
When about so feet above the river,
he balloon halted, swung a few yards
lbove the bridge over the roadway, |
Ind Meeker jumped. landing safely /
IN the structure.

SOME PILING.
Independence Shipment Would Make
a Pole 1880 Miles Long.

Piing material from the Santiam
timber section is to be shipped to
California in wholesale quantities
from independence. Information
concerning these shipments Is
meagre, so far as to whom the parties
are and the uses to which the pilng
is to be put is concerned, but It IS
known that probably 100000 feet
OF piling for California is to be
loaded here.
The piling is to be brought down
the Santiam and the Willamette to
Independence, and here loaded on
the cars for shipment south. The
initial drive was to arrive today,
and presumably will be loaded at
once. Work is being done on the
spur to the river, preparing it for the
heavy loads to be taken to the main
track. E. Russell, a representative
of the California purchasing agents,
was in the city last week making ar
for the shipments. The
piling is such length that three ordin-
ary 30-foot freight cars are necessary
10 receive them, or many of them at
east.

CHERRY
AND ROSE
FESTIVAL
Board of Trade Takes Steps TO Make
II An Annual Affair

A very active session Of the Salem
Board of Trade was held last evening
at the rooms of the organization in
the Murphy block. Foremost among
the subjects considered was the
cherry fair, and ways and means of
perpetuating Il as an annual event
in our city. II was shown by Presi-
dent Thielsen that the cherry shows
have added much to our prestige as
a fruit center and was pointed out
that we cannot afford to let It die.
Frank Power, president of the Pa
cific Coast Nurserymen's Association.
reclted many evidences of the free
advertising which the recent cherry
fair gave our city, and II was the
unanimous opinion of those present
that II should be made permanent.
As there is no permanent organlza-
tlon for that purpose, IL was pro-
posed that the Salem Board should
take steps to preserve and enlarge
the project Upon motion a commit
tee was appointed to draw up resolu-
tlons TO be presented at some future
meeting endorsing the cherry and
floral idea, and pointing the way for
its perpetuation. The committee is
composed OF President Thielsen, II.
w. Hazard and Rev. Barr G.. Lee.
President Thielsen took occasion
60 suggest that the time had come
when Salem should adopt floral en-
blem, and suggested the sweet pea
rs the most appropriate and practic- I
al lie felt that Il would be an hon
d to have Salem known as the
Sweet Pea CITY," and mentioned {
many practical advantages to be de- s
lived therefrom.
The subject of having our fine
ruits on sale at the passenger de-
'ot was brought up. and the execu- I
I've committee OF the board was au- a
horized to take the necessary steps
o have this brought about. n
Secretary Poisel made good
nancial showing, which indicates
hat there is over $1,000 in the treas u
ry. The secretary was instructed
o secure a suitable register for the
oard rooms, and the executive COM
iittee was authorized to expend
bout $3.50 in foreign advertising.
Iuch interest was manifested in the ,P
ork OF the board, and the meeting
ijourned with the utmost good feel
'gs and enthusiasm for the work OF
le organization.

instance, it says that the relation OF
player to the bank is as 90 is to 81,
which would make it appear that the
banks winnings were only a reasona-

however, 1t has been shown that it

But the gamblers who have sys-

bic that they may leave the tables
with considerable gains, but If they
continue they viii lose it all. Only
the bank wins in the long end, yet it
is conceded that the game there is as
fair as any game in the world Two
years ago, an Englishman named Wall
went to Monte Carlo with a "calcu-
Iator," by the use of which he claimed
to be able to win constantly. 1t is
asserted that he did at one sitting win
100 times in succession, but after be
coming a world sensation for few
days the calculator led him astray,
and the bank, accustomed to systems
and schemes, continued to play as
usual. while the man with the sure
| system left the place in disgust.
Lord RossIyn and the late Sam
! Lewis, who were said to have played
| systems. were alleged to have broken
the bank. In this report the officers of
the Casino were careful to admit their
loss Others, without number, are also
believed to have achieved this dstinc-
ton, but as a matter Of fact, the bank
mover has been broken.
But the instances of players bccom-
ing broken are SO numerous that there
are no statistics. The greatest care
is taken to prevent tragedies from oc-
curing at Monte Carlo. 1t does not
assist the reputation of the place to
have ruined players committing sui
