COMMERCIAL CLUB
RETAINS OLD NAME
Heated Discussion 7 axes
Place Over Agricultural
Appropriation

The members Of the Commercial Club
prefer their old name, rather than that
Of calling themselves the Salem Cham
Der of Commerce. This was decided
last evening when the members of the
club met TO vote on several amend
ments. Therefore, the Commercial club
will continue to be called the CONNER
cial Club, but the former name of Mer:
camille department Of the club viii be
changed to that of the Business Men 3
League department Of the Commercial
Club. 1t was further voted that pro-
fessional and business men, and also
manufacturers, might become members
of the Business Mems League depart
ment, and that new members could be
admitted to the League on a twO-thirds
vote Of those present at any regular
meeting, providing their names had
been proposed at a former meeting.
exit" Carson, representing the Pen
dlton Roundup, addressed the meeting,
stating that if from IS TO 100 would
attend the Roundup from Salem, the
Pendleton folks would be glad to take
the Salem Military band along as
guests. A trip for the average ordinary
person to PendletOn and return is es-
timated to cost $2j.
1t was further voted that hereafter
the Commercial Club would meet once
month, and at these meetings reports
would be heard from the heads of the
departments
The question was raised as to the
amounts appropriated for each of the
departments for the coming year. The
main objection to the tentative budget
is that while other departments have a
large allowance, only $3.50 has been APP
propriated to the agricultural depart
ment. 1t was explained that the bud
get so far was only tentative, and that
as soon as all bids were paid, it would
be re-arranged. The opinion was ex-
pressed that more money would be
given to the agricultural department
later when their plans demanded it, and
that the budget could be changed at
any time. There is a general feeling
among those interested in the agricul-
tural department that they have not
been allowed enough money to even
make start at anything and that
their future work has been handicapped
right from the beginning. L. H. Me
Mahan, Louis Lachmund, T, b. Kay, A.
Huckestein and others took part in a
rather heated discussion of this mint

Washington Aug. l9.-When we
dropped down tne river toward the
sea. from Liverpool, evening was fall
( ing All about us were war ships. The
great Mauretania, loaded vita 5000
lrishmen, their hearts still aching and
their throat. still hoarse from their
| goodbyes, passed us, headed for the
Dardanelles.
WOrkmen were thrusting long wood
en- arms out from the side OF our ship;
at the end of each arm was a great
I electric lignt that threw its rays back
against tne hull Of the boat ! looked
down and ! saw that the lamps were
throwing their white light on the words,
painted in giant black letters, "New
/ York, America.
German eyes looked up at us from
under the sea that night beyond a
doubt, for the Orduna, boat that pass
ed us, was almost tOrpedOed not great
| distance from us. That rocking, roll
ing, electric sign helped me to discover
| America afresh Under its cnarm we
went our way, safe in the pathway Of
deatn. For year had seen nothing
but war; had seen everything 90
down before it and / had forgotten
that there was one spot or one flag in
the world that was safe. The thrill
that comes from realizing under such
circumstances that there Is one flag
that is safe and that it is your flag
is almost overwhelming.
Eight nights later on a summer Sun
day evening, we approached New York.
On our left tho lights of the quiet Jer,
sey villages began TO blink. On our
right the fiery outlines of old C0ney
Island grew brighter and brighter, as
night deepened.
Standing on the deck Henry p. Davi-
son, partner in the j. p. Morgan firm
one of America Is younger masters of
finance, looked upon the growing glory
of New York's evening sky line and
said;
"Tnere's s no country like it in all
the world A."
That comes as near being am inter
view as Henry Z. Dawson ever gave to
II newspaper man, but there II be many
a time that hen speak thnsand
words and not say one-tentn as much.

Hope Of Identifying

marine, or Ensign Timothy A. Parker.
The bodies were found in the after

Decomposition was SO far advanced,
however, that the authorities have prac.
