the Woodworking con-
ductor of this column to a vendor of
one Valentine Troupe. The topic Of
soft collars led, naturally enough, to a
discussion of the weather, and once
started, the fluent salesman began to
discuss the merits of a certain new
and cooling style of undergarment. We
didn't want my all we desired was a
pair of cheap, soft collars. But look at
it. This is the very best stuff we

STATE LAND SWAP
OFFERS MANY
PROBLEMS
FORESTERS TELL OF PLANS FOR
WORKING OUT PROPOSED
EXCHANGE.

Some interesting information, in
addition to that contained in The
Missoulian's story, of the proposed
state land exchange, was given out by
II. r. Rutlege, assistant forester in
charge Of the office of lands in dis
trict No. 1 yesterday. c. l.. Smith,
the forest service man who had charge
of the Idaho exchange that was
brought to a successful conclusion a
few months ago, has arrived and has
headquarters in Mr.. R~utlege's office.
1t was learened from the maps and
plans that have already been prepared
that the total acreage of the state
lands to be examined is about ass, 900
acres. This land lies west of the
Deer Lodge meridian and is ituated
in the kootenai, Blackfeet, F%1athead,
Cabinet, Lolo, Bitter Root, Missoula,
Deer Lodge and Beaverlead national
forests. These state lands are sec
tons 16 and SO in each township,
either surveyed or unsurveyed and the
examination to be made this season is
for the. purpose of securing the neces-
sarY data upon which to base the
proposed exchange. The tracts that
are unSurVeNed n located far IN the
interior will necessitate Il considerable
amount of careful computation before
all of the information necessary can
be secured.

TELLS EXPERIENCE
IN INDIANA FLOOD
His Brother Writes Capital
Journal Man of the Flood
in Logansport.
PROPERTY LOSS is GREAT
Also Tells Of That Other "Flood" of
Provisions and Clothing That
Came Pouring in.

The following letter received by Gra-
ham P. Taber, of The Capital Journal,
from his brother at Logansport, In
diana, briefly describes flood condi-
tions in that state and is published for
the benefit of Salem people having rel
atives or property interests in the dis
tricts mentioned, and who may not as
yet have received word from the east:
"Logansport, Ind, April 8, 1913,
"My Dear Graham: Your wire was
advertised for several days before L
got it. AS I had sent you papers sew
eral days previous, 1 thought you would
get all information from that, and we
were anxious about Penu ourselves. AS
I was going there the day 1 received
your wire last Monday, thought 1
would wait and write you when came
back. Since there has been the greatest
confusion and almost every. moment
taken up in relief work. 1 am going
back to work as soon as 1 get this off
to you.
"I went to English Lake a week
ago Sunday evening. Tuesday evening
we got first word Of flood, that there
was 5h feet of water in the Pennsyl'
vania station. We laughed at them
and thought it was yarn. Next morn

train running to Boone. I tried to
phone and wire home direct and around

Noted Playground Man in Town.

L. H. Weir, secretary Of the National
Fairgrounds association and lecturer on
Fairgrounds, arrived in Salem this af-
ternoon. He was escorted to the Mar
ion hotel by committee of the local
playground association, where an in
formal luncheon was rendered him. Mr.
Wier is full Of optimism for the Pa
cific Northwest and thinks that the
best of the American race ought to de-
velop here. He believes that Salem
is ripe for full system of Fairgrounds,
and will show tonight in his lecture
how cities much smaller are conduct
ing them to the everlasting benefit of
the child.
The talk will be full of human in
terest. Mr., Weir practically puts him
self in the child's place and every lover
of children should hear him. His lee
ture will be illustrated by interesting
views on the screen, and will be free.

PRINCIPAL WITNESS
7 SUDDENLY MISSING
Ethel Williams Who Testified Against
DR., Otto Joslen, Cannot
Be Found.

San Francisco, April 9.-Telegrams
were sent to every important city and
town in California today by District
Attorney Fckert in an effort to as.
certain the whereabouts Of Miss Ethel
Williams, formerly of Seattle, a candy
shop girl, who twice has told juries
here the story of her alleged betrayal
by DR.. Otto G. Joslen, wealthy San
Francisco physician. The girl, her.
sister and their mother are believed
to have gone to Los Angeles, disap.
pearing practically on the eve of tho
calling Of Joslen's trial.
"I am satisfied that there is some.
thing wrong in the Williams girls alb.
sence," said FiCkertt today. "I am
going to exercise every effort to bring
her back"
Joslen's trial was set for Monday.

SAN FRANCISCO IS
AFTER THE TONG MEN
A Big Grist Of Indictments Returned
and Many of Them Will Be
Deported.

San Francisco, April e.-Wholesale
arrests of Chinese tong gunner are ex-
pectel here today in the efforts of the
federal authorities to stamp out the
warfare of the tongmen for all time.
A grist of indictments have been re-
turned against tongmen here by the
federal grand jury, the list including
the presidents Of the Suey Sing and
Bing Kong tongs which are now at war
all over the coast.
The Chinese contend that the tongs
are being conducted for benevolent pur-
poses and that their members therefore
should not be deported. 1t is the posi-
tion of the government that the tongs
are nothing more than organizations for
the purpose of blackmail and murder.

CALIFORNIA ABLE
TO DEAL WITH ALIENS
President Will Not Interfere
Unless Treaty Obligations
are Some Way Violated.
HIS POLICY, "HANDS OFF"
People Of California Determined to
Prevent All Aliens Acquiring
Ownership of Lands.
HIS POLICY, GLANDS OFF"

Washington, April 9.-Confidence in
California s ability to settle alien land
law questions in its own state in o
manner which will give justice to all
was expressed to Representative Rak'
er of California here today by Presi
dent Wilson.
The president made it plain that the
government has no desire to interfere
in any question which seemingly in
wolves state right, but he urged Rakel
to use his influence to have the Cali
fornia land laws so drafted that they
would not interfere with any pending
treaty obligations.
Raker exhibited a telegram from
State Senator Sanford of California
author Of an alien land bill, saying
that unless the legislature enacted sucf
a law the people of California would
initiate it. Inquiry at the executive
offices here as to whether the president
in his conference with Raker, indi
Gated that he favored "hands Off
policy until after the bill becomes {
law, elected the following statement
"NO policy to deal with this mat
ter has been formulated. There is n,
necessity to adopt any definite posi-
tion at this time, but when a policy fin
ally is decided upon it will be an
nounced."
This statement is taken by legisla
tive experts here to correct the i'm
preston prevailing in some quarter
that President Wilson had pledged hin
self not to interfere in any way. Th
president believes that until Californi
actually passes law which violate
treaty obligations, it is not in his pre-
vince to interfere.

MORE VOTING PLACES
WILL BE NEEDED HERE

That Salem must be redistricted be.
fore the next general election and at
least double the number Of precincts
created was asserted today. The doub-
ling Of the number Of votes as a result
of suffrage granted to women and the
natural increase in the voting popula-
tion means that the present precincts
would be wholly inadequate to take
care of the new conditions.
Eugene is still talking about the trou.

THE SENEGAMBIAN IN THE WOODP|LE.

Yesterday The Capital Journal sug-
gested that by reading today's issue of
that always up.to.date newspaper,
thank you, they would be able to dis
cover the senegambian in the water
plant purchasing proposition.
You will find him in connection with
this article, appropriately set up in
black and in ga coffin" which he is
so abundantly qualified to adOrn.
You will see by that section of the
amended charter, giving the city au-
thority to purchase the Salem Water
company plant, that even if the city
should vote to buy the plant, it would
be in the same position with regard to
its water that it is now in concerning

its sewers, and one dose of that kind is
sufficient even for an adult.
1t will be seen that once the city
bought the plant, that those whom the
mains do not now reach, would have to
pay for extending the mains to them,
on top of paying their proportion of the
cost Of the plant.
This is self.evidently so grossly un.
just, that no fair.minded citizen would
vote for the proposition, and certainly
those on whom the extra burden would
fall would not do 30.
