Very Unappreciative.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
city of Salem expended over SO yester-
day in feeding the 80 men who agreed
to get out Of town, the favor was for
gotten when the men got out Of the
city limits according to farmers south
of Salem who overheard remarks made
by the crowd. The unemployed said
that Salem was bum place; that its
people were "phoney" and that the
way they were treated would make a
dog go off and hide.
If ever a man was treated to a good
square meal, the gang rounded up at the
city Jail were recipients of the same
article. Despite the fact that they said
they would be willing to go out Of
town and that all they desired was

When the men working at the insti-

leader, all but four dropped their work
and made bee line toward the Hub

The 2l men who were arrested yester-

afternoon by the police, and told to re-

hour and a half before when they had
been treated to a good dinner by the
city, they braced the Oregon Training
school authorities for supper. The gang
was turned down flatly, however, and
after budding about a fire near the
institution during the night, they
marched toward Albany.

That improved roads would benefit
