The Cherrians are in receipt of a let
ter from the secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce of Marshfield stating that
plans are under way for big celebra-
ton in that city upon the completion Of
tne Willamette and Pacific railroad
from Eugene to Coos bay. The secre-

finally completed some time in August
and hoped that the Cherrians would
cooperate with the Marshfield Cham
Der of Commerce in securing a special
train from Salem to Coos bay for the
great celebration. AS the Cherrians

OF AUTO
CAUSES RUMOR OF
LOCAL TONG WAR
Alleged Pistol Shots Issued
From MuHer---NO Fatal
ities Reported

Salem's tong war appears today to
have been only the backfire from an
automobile which was mistaken for
fusilade Of pistol shots and the resi-
dents who mistook the mysterious dark
figures for Oriental gun men may
charge their error to the uncertain
moonlight according to the opinion of
the police. All of the chinese who were
interviewed today declared they were
'neutral' and Jim Chung reiterates
the statement that he is cheap good
flen to everybody"
According to the police the Chinese
on Ferry street are of different fac
tiOn from the High street Chinese and
it is well known that famous ex-gun-
man holds forth ON Ferry street at
Chinese restaurant This fact tends to
produce some uneasiness among local
| Orientals but no strange Chinese have
shown themselves about the city. Six
Chinese from the Independence district
went to Portland yesterday but it ap-
pears that one of their kinsmen has
been badly wounded in the tong war
in Portland and their trip was rather
to be at the bedside of their relative
than to take part in the gun escapades.
Local Chinese say that most of their
race in this city are not allied with the
tongs in any way but that Chinaman
usually keeps his affiliation with tong
secret and that there is no way to
take the census Of the tong men in
town.
As for the mysterious pistol shots
that were heard shortly after midnight
Sunday night, w. E. Hoage, a mer-
chants patrolman says that he was on
Court street when two men cranked up
their auto and that it backfired with
several loud reports which accounts for
the rumor that gunner were abroad in
the night. No men were seen fleeing
down the alley and no pursuer was fol-
lowing them according to Mr.. Hoage
who took no account of the event un-
til the next day when the residents OF
this city who heard the noise began to
make inquiries.
