is MAKING
BETTERMENTS

The Salem Water, Light & Power
Co. has force of men at work today,
putting in new transmission rope
from the power plant of the company
on the mill race near High street to
the pumping station on Commercial
street This rope is to replace one
which has served for the purpose
about five years The rope is of the
best quality IA Inch Manila trans
mission rope, and is 5000 feet long.
While the work is being done the
steam pumps OF the water company
are being used, which, during this sea
son Of the year, give as good pressure
as the other pumps. It is expected
that the new rope will last six years
Among some of the other improve
ments made at the plant Of the water
company is the installation Of a new
turbin, centrifugal electric pump, hav-
ing capacity of 2,5OO,OOO gallons of
water to height OF $50 feet thus
producing over S5 pounds pressure for
that amount of water This pump was
manufactured especially for the Salem
plant, and, while It is very simple
looking piece Of machinery, It Is, ney-
ertheless quite complicated--and ex-
pensive.

scATHING ARRANGEMENT
OF Methodist General Conference by
Bishop Medley.

New York, June 5.--Bishop Thomas b
Neeley of the Methodist Episcopal church
who was retired recently on half pay
addressed the Methodist preachers here
Monday at their weekly meeting, ar
raigning in scathing terms the Method
list general conference at Minneapolis
which took action against the bishop.
"There were more new delegates in
the general conference just closed than
in any yet held" said the bishop, "and
there were fewer who knew anything
of Methodism, its traditions, and espe-
eially the laws governing general confer
ences. 1t was an impulsiye body; il
could hardly be said to have been q
deliberative body at all.
"Some think it was governed by poll
tics in larger degree than any confer
ence ever held. 1t did not give me OPP
portunity to defend myself from my en-
emies. Some say the proceedings were
high handed. My health is good, an
not an old man. In or out of the effec
tive list, rightly or wrongly treated,
shall not stop work yet. Maybe | shall
accomplish more on half pay than eve
| have done on full pay"

Japanase Far FIGHT.

Divide the players into two sides.
Each side must have den. The dens
NAV be made by curving over large
sheet of cardboard at each end of the
room. Under this roof is the den.
Stretch a tape across the middle OF the
room and on IL place one feather for
every two people. Have feathers OF
different colors so the pair OF oppo-
nents may know which ones they are
fighting for. Give each player a small
Jananese fan and call MAKE ready!
The two sides now face one another on
either side of the tape, two opposing
PLAYERS being opposite each feather.
At a given signal the fight begins. The
object is to watt the feathers into their
onponents' dens. When feather IS
blown into den he who loses 1t pays
n forfeit, and he and his sonqueror
are then only lookers-on until the end.
Denkeepers are appointed and have a
lively time keeping the dens from be-
ing invaded. If Japanese fans ana
feathers are not available pieces OF
colored tissue paper may be substitute
ed for feathers and folded newspapers
for fans.
