Made in State.

Members of the Salem Singing Socie-
ty are much stirred up over a story
which was told during a session of the

one of their associates, Goulieb Stoller,

tion is true, some serious trouble will
result, according to the president of the

The members of the society say that
Stoller was beaten out Of So by man
giving his name at j. G. Patey, and
who represented himself to be the su-
perintendent of the "0regon out to win
campaign for statewide prohibition
Stoller declares he gave the man SO with
the understanding that he would see to
it that portion of it would be used to
fight the movement now ON foot for the
construction of the Pacific highway.
Says He Is Victim.
While the members Of the singing so.
ciety were talking over affairs in their
hall last Sunday, Stoller entered into
the conversation, and, claiming that he
was working for lower taxes in this
county, brought forth what he had be.
lieved to be evidence Of the fact. The
evidence, however, proved to be re.
ceipt for SO which Mr.. Stoller had do
mated to Mr.. Patey to aid statewide
prohibition. Stoller can neither read nor
write English and when explained to
what use he had donated his money grew
angry and cried, and then he explained
how he happened to give the money.
He said that Patey approached hin
and gave him long story about the
high taxes in Marion county, and sale
that he was making a campaign for the
taxpayer Stoller said that the stranger
told him that he was collecting funds
with which to fight the Pacific high

that, although he couldn't read, he ha,

How Plants Grow

Perhaps not one in one hund-
red of the people of Ozark have
ever noticed the little locust tree
in the Circuit Clerks office, or
rather the vault, where the
records are kept. 1t is more than
2 feet high, and seems a healthy
as though it was growing in the
open air, though how it come
there, or where it gets it sus-
temance from is mystery. 1t
has grown up between the brick
wall, and the concrete floor,
where the water will hardly leak
through. Clerk Waterfield has
placed a frame before it to keep
it from falling on the floor.
Then there is a cottonwood grow
ing throughthe crevice between
the pavement, and the brick
wall, of the Haberer Hotel, it is
about 8 inches high, and thrifty.
