led at the $. p. depot this morning tc
accompany Coach Mathews husky grid
iron men to Pacific Z. at Forest Grove
where they will meet their old rivals in
football The Willamette special was
gaily decorated in carlinal and gold
bunting and every student wore the
W. U. colors. As the train pulled out
the departing crowd gave a well which
they plan to greet Pacific with, "Pul.
verize, Pulverize, Pulverize, Who?
Pacific, Pacific, Pe.e.U."
And the few who were there to see
them leave who could not accompany
were sorry they could not be with the
jolly crowd.
At McMnnville and Newberg the
train will stop and allow the rooters to
serpentine through the streets and give
several Willamette yells. The yiwli ar.
rive at Forest Grove by noon and all

WEST SALEM MAY Be
MERGED WITH SALEM
City Of 700 People May Seek
Admittance to Boundaries
Of Salem

A perslstant rumor was afl0at today
that preliminary steps were being taken
to bring about merger of the City of
West Salem with Salem proper The
people Of the west side city believe
that their interests would be better
served if the boundaries of Salem were
extended to include that city also and
il is said that a merger would also
eliminate several problems that now
embarrass Salem.
The municipal bathing beach would
then be inside of this city and under
the jurisdiction of the Salem police and
the West Salem people would be in
better position to work for a new
bridge across the river at this place.
The proposed merger would affect
no change in the county lines but
would simply extend the city limits of
Salem across into P6i( county. West
Salem is incorporated and contains
about one square mile of territory ex-
tending from point about opposite
the Salem reservoir north along the
river to a point about opposite the end
of Chemeketa street. The end of the
steel bridge is in Polk county and out
side of the city limits of West Salem.
West Salem has abou, 700 inhabitants
and its property valuation is approx
mately $l50,OO0. Last year West
Salem was taxed 20 mills for road and
county, 10 mills for city and s for
schools. 1t has bonded Indebtedness
of $4,000 which it incurred in building
its municipal water plant, electric
light and sewer systems.
One of the principal advantages to
West Salem cited in favor Of the pro-
posed arrangement is that the go pupils
of West Salem who attend the Salem
High school would not be obliged to
pay $50 annual tuition per head, and
would receive fire and police protec
ton.
Ernest Blue, city attorney of West
Salem, when asked about the proposed
merger today said that he had not
heard the matter discussed as yet and
did not know how the people of West
Salem would stand on the question.

Only on rare occasions have the Grin =

However, vast improvement has been

Pitcher Jim Scott of the White Sox.

Manager Rowland's staff. is not having
his share of luck this spring. Scott is
losing games by the one-run margin
on many occasions as a result of lack

Scott;s misfortune to be on the rubber
