A stranger passing Sunday in Salem
might indeed have thought that the
people Of the city were celebrating a
day as yet unrecorded in the calendar
OF festal dates, but known to themselves
as River Day" Such a magnet did
the Willamette prove to be on o1e Of
the most sultry Sundays Of the summer,
tnat a large portion of tOwnspeople
Hooked toward the river throughout
the day. The medium of water diver
sion varied according to the mood from
a bathing suit to a launch, many pre-
ferring to spend the day on a distant
river bank where change of scene
was afforded Among these was a
group Of young people, who left town
about midday and proceeded up the
river in launch to point about four
miles distant, where the afternoon and
evening were enjoyably spent in a
merry picnic outing. Swimming was
the most popular Of the listed attrac-
tions, though various games and coffee
boiled on the embers OF genuine camp
fire followed as close seconds. Those
who participated in this excursion were:
