STREET RAILWAY HAS
NEW FREIGHT MOTOR

The Portland Railway, Light and
Power Co. which owns the Salem
street railway system, received yes
terday a new motor car Of about 100
horse power. which will be set up and
In running order within the next day
or two IL was bifilt at the com
pany's shops at Portland, and will be
used In the hauling of cars from the
rock quarry, and for the general
freight business of the company.
There is perhaps no one thing that
shows Salem's growth so strongly as
the ever-increasing car service. While
the street car service was increased
only a few days ago, on an average
OF 25 per cent, the movement has
proven so popular that II is prob
able, on all the lines, to meet the
generous response the people have
made 20 the company's efforts, that
a still better and quicker service will
be inaugurated. There should be no
car line with less than a fve-minute
service, and this seems probable in
the near future.

and while some members Of the gang
went % work on the bank safe, others
stood guard. Citizens we're soon up IN

the robbers followed. The robbers, how

for two hours they stood of the citizens
while their companions worked on the
banks vault. When they finally succeed
