In compliment to it's friends who aided
last June in entertaining the members
of the Alabama Press association, the
Newspaper Club of Birmingham enter
tanned last night.
It was wallopng lolapoluzza--if a
'pcssum dinner interspersed with rollick-
ing good humor. can be described in such
reckless Creek
From the TIME of the gathering of the
guests to the moment when the final
curtain descended, there was something
hurrying As a result every man left the
hall not only well fed but imbued with
a spirit of kindness and an idea that
the world is not as bad as painted
Not that there were not thrusts Of the
fine French rapier and blows from the
ponderous German battle AK! For there
was a scrimmage. But each encounter
was. preceded by an apology and followed
by hearty outburst of merriment.
Some of the most notable dinners in
the history of Birmingham have been
served by the men who make the news
papers of this city, but IL the word OF
the guests can be taken, and who would
not take the word of such admirable
guests?-the affair of last evening was
the last word, the final stroke, the very
climax itself.
Right Off the Reel
1t was notable gathering. From the
office boy to the editor in chief the pa
pers were represented. The citizens were
there from the ranks. from the official
family of the city. and from that coterie
of distinguished men who represent GER
tain select districts in the halls of Con-
gress. They had gathered to entertain
and be entertained, were prepared to re-
ceive their turn on the griddle, and note
the anguish of the other fellow, and to
wax strong with humor and eloquent with
soft word. 1t is said. and repeated, that
no man was disappointed
In order that every guest might be
prepared more perfectly for the informal
gruelling which was destined to be the
feature of the programme, the members
of the club got busy on the jump. AS

v. N. SEXSUA
DELIVERS ADDRESS

The address given by W. N. Sexson
last evening at the high school open
ing, was pronounced to be among the
very best ever heard in Vinita
His subject was, The High School
and Its Mission" and was delivered
in that quiet eloquent way that can
command attention from any audience.
and by his eloquent delivery and
graceful gestures the speaker kept
his audience captivated from begin
ming to end
The address was one of good logical
reasoning intermingled with that
quaint, delicate humor. so pleasing to
an audience
Among the best parts of Mr.. Seasons
discourse was the illustrations he
used showing advantages of a high
school education and the encourage
ment the student received toward
realizing the dream of his ambition.
While until last evening Mr.. Sexson
was not very well known in Vinita,
after hearing his address he is pos
.sessed of host of friends who will
always be glad to welcome him to our
city.

JUST WATCH SALEM GROW.

CALEM Is growing rapidly and

tial growth, too. That this Is to
continue for a long time at least,
seems certain, for with her growth
also comes conditions and things GER
tain 10 cause still greater and more
rapid increase in her size, Importance
and trade.
Nothing Is more indicative OF this
than her eyer-increasing railroad fa-
cilities. But a short tine ago the Fir
branch road connecting us with the
road at Geer was Completed. Although
but six miles in length, this little road
opened up and made tributary to Sa-
lem q vast rich section heretofore
cut off from her All the Waldo Hills

the Willamette valley, was brought in
close touch with her, Silyerton, Mt

in either direction from Geer, were all

in the near future another railroad
will be entering the city. True, the
road the Falls City road, comes here
now, that IT, It comes to West Salem,
but when In few months the cars
come rattling across the river and into
the city; when the annoying transfer
from West Salem to the city Is cut out,
IT is going to increase the travel and
bring much trade here, that never
came before We are going to be
neXt-door neghbors to all Polk and
Benton county poople--to our mutual
benefit
IT Is understood now that when the
biz bridge is completed and the Dallas,
Falls City trains are running into Sa-
lem, that a big celebration will be
held in honor Of that event. There
should be, for It is an event, and one
OF vast importance, for It is only

time at that, when this road will carry

timber belt lying around and west OF
Falls City will compel the extension OF
the road, and will build up a tremen-

one Of the chief benehciaries.
The Fir branch at present stops at

in the not very remote future, this
branch will be extended up into the

Then timber will be sent to market
and where It now stands will be the
