SPLENDID
SHOWING
or FLOATS
PARADE A MILE LONG AND COM.
POSED OF THE FINEST AND
MOST ARTISTIC FLOATS EVER
SEEN IN THE NORTHWEST.

The parade yesterday was certainly
a great success, and never in Salem's
history has there been such an assem-
blage Of beautiful floats. Neither time
nor money were spared in making the
decorations the very best Artistic
designs and rich coorlng we're in ev-
idence in almost every vehicle In the
big parade, and there was surely lot
Of them. They we're too many, and
there was too much worth minute de-
scriptlon, for any attempt even being
made to mention them in detail. The
Kings float was grand and that Of
the Queen was the handsomest that
ever gladdened the eyes Of Salemites.
The committee on awarding prizes
certainly had a difficult job, for there
were so many beautiful floats that few
would agree with any one else's selec-
tlon as 10 the best or most beautiful,
and would, perhaps, doubt their own
Judgment on second thought

the first prize for the best decorated
and most original float, or floats, for

Salem's electric fountain, which is
being erected in the center Of Wilson
park, is nearing completion and in all
probability will be in operation before
the first Of August. When this be-
quest of Mrs. e. M. Waite to her
townspeople is fully installed, Salem
will be in a class by itself as far as
fountains are concerned, for there is
no other display west of Denver that
Il compare with it in point Of
beauty
When in full operation almost 600
Jets of water will rise from the basin
of the fountain to varying height Of
up to so feet, throwing about $4,000
gallons of water into the air per hour
To supply that amount Of water it
promised to be such a drain on the
supply Of the Salem water company
that the company at its own expense
installed an electric pump so that the
water may be used over and over
again, the agreement with ther city
being that water for all the fountains
erected by the city is to be furnished
free by the water company,
The rising waters will be colored
in brilliant hues more vivid than the
brightest of fireworks. Red light and
dark blue, green, orange, lavander and
white will mingle in a profusion Of
beauty at the height Of the tree tops
and drop back into the fountain only
to cascade over into the outer basin.
f. w. Darlington, of Philadelphia,
is building the fountain. He has in
stalled similar ones, both greater and
smaller, in most Of the civilized coun
tries Of the globe The biggest one
in the world is in Crystal Palace,
London, but what Mr.. Darlington con-
siders his masterpiece so far, is in
Denver, which has been reproduced
in Mexico City, Mexico. The Denver
display has eleven tunnels with an
5000 candle power light under each
one. 1t can be manipulated into twel-
We designs and countless combinations
of colors. 1t throws a sheet of water
100 feet high and 80 feet broad and
consumes 100000 gallons Of water per
hour It is operated for two periods
Of half hour each, every night in
the summer The water is pumped
over by the same pumping plant that
irrigates the city park. because Of
its size, environment and general ar
rangement It is the most beautiful
man-made display in the world" says
Mr.. Darlington
The work on the fountain has at
tracted a great deal of interest by the
inquiring public, who make frequent
inspection Of the work to determine
II possible, the mechanism Of the
fountain. Work is progressing salts
factorily, although some delay has
been occasloned by backward weather
conditions, and the failure of some Of
the PARIS to arrive on time.

western cowboy, Governor West this
evening or early in the morning will

tend the governors conference which
is to be held in the Idaho city, Au-
gust 1.
He was unable this morning to say
whether he could got matters ready
in time to start this. evening, but II
he can, he will. The horse which he
will ride is suffering from lameness
still and It is possible that the ami

another substituted before the trip
is at an end.
Leaving here, his trail will lead
southward to Lebanon and then his
Journey will take an eastward course
up the south fork of the Santlam,
tsking in It's course, Sweet Home and
Foster. II will then lead over the
mountains to Fish Lake and on ever
another range of mountains to the
Sisters. Redmond will be next in
the line OF the journey and then
Prinvllle. From there he will go to
Burns and Vale. AT Caldwell he will
be met by Governor Hawley, of Ida
no, who will also be on horseback
and who will escort him to Boise.
During his journey he will stop
and deliver addresses on good roads

GRAM in EVENING-COL. WOOD
SPEAKS TONIGHT.

The Manufacturers Exposition OF
the Marion County Industries has
been admittedly the greatest feature
of the Cherry Fair, surprising even
the wonderful displays of the royal
fruit itself. The promotion Of the
Made in Oregon idea has received a
wonderful impulse, and at least 5O,-
900 people have seen the display and
been entertained by the evening pro-
grams, and the manufacturers them
selves, with their representatives,
their demonstration and their litera-
ture.
State Officials Interested.
The exposition was visited by many
state officials and the heads of state,
city and county institutions. They
took notes Of what they saw, and on
the opening day Supt. Steiner made
the announcement that the state board
had decided to give the Oregon fur
niture manufacturers at Portland an
opportunity to equip the two new state
buildings at Salem and the new asy-
lum at Pendleton. This means sever
al hundred thousand dollars Of state
revenues kept at home. This was
backed up by conference of Secre-
tary of State 0lcott and the furni-
ture manufacturers at Portland

Col. e. Hofer, Salem, Ore;
Dear Sir: This Is to acknowledge
receipt Of your splendid letter of the
1st, inst The enclosure very encour-
aging. | hope you will be sustained
in the early development of projected
lines to make your word good.
Referring to the matter of fayoring
Oregon industries, our policy now is
to develop our local enterprises by
using their products in so far as
equality is concerned We believe
that such patronage has but one ef-
feet that Of building up community
and that must naturally be helpful tc
ourselves. The more encouragement
of this kind by large corporations
such as railroads, must surely have
an influencing effect and we believe
we will be well compensated for any
such development we encourage.
II you wish you may quote me as
being a stauneh supporter Of the

Very respectfully,

9TH tell yeu the story now, if
you like. My story, as I told it
yesterday, seemed so cold and
heartless; it made me out so de-
signing a creature.
FBut if I tell you the story I
don't want you to mention the
boys name. 1t might harm him,
and perhaps he has been hurt
enough through me.
Il shall tell you his name, if
you promise me not to publish
any more than his first name"
The reporter promised that the
full name would not be published
without her permission.
Well, he's the son of a big
contractor m Cincinnati. His
father built the Sinton hotel
there. He's Just a kid, although
he is one year older than myself.
ct first met him through his
sister, His sister attended the
same boarding school in Indiana
as I did, and we were great
chums.
Il met him one time when I
was home on vacation. I was
only fourteen at the time. 1t was
just before my mother died.
she was a boy who was very
popular with the girls, but he got
a great crush on me, and dropped
all the rest.
Il liked him. He was a nice
boy. For a year we were going |
together and our friends used to
kid rs about each other.

The reporter confessed his
blank ignorance as to what clev-
erness might be concealed in the
inner works of the millionaire.
well, the first few times he
took me automobiling, he asked
FFank-that is the boys first
name along. What do you think
of that?"

the reporter.
ct was clever, said the girl. :
You see, Jeff began by doing the
fatherly act-patting me on the
mead, and saying what a nice girl
| was and would l like an ice
cream soda or a box of chocolates
for being good?
He kept that up for two
months after our first meeting in
the bank, and always he asked
Frank along. Then he. dispensed
with the escort of Frank and
dropped the fatherly interest"
