They are men-of-warsmen now, every
one of the 1000 recruits who have en-
barked on the the civilian training
cruise of the United states Navy. They
rise at o'clock to the bo suns pipe,
tumbling out of their hammocks in the
required nautical way with the required
number of bitches. Then they roll up
their broad legged sailor pants to the
knees and swab down the decks with
cold sea water. They polish brass and
wash paint as though their existence
depended upon it. 1t might be funny
to see a man whose fortune runs to mil
lions shining brass in q way that would
not earn him 50 day. Yet you know
that brass polishing is not his goal.

One Man Created
Disorderly Meeting

A report turned in at the sheriff s
office this morning that sounds indi-
eating that a number of disorderly
characters were making a resort last
night of the building on the grounds
of the Salem Gun club resulted in an
investigation this morning.
The officers found nothing in the
building to warrant a suspicion that
hostilities or other violent exercises
had been -indulged in recently, but on
looking about the range they found a
man.
This man said in response to interro-
CATION that he had been around the
place for two or three days. No one
else had been there, he said. The fact
developed later that the man was Irwin
W. Dolby, who wandered away from
the hospital for the insane several
weeks ago.
1t is the theory of the officers that
BODY was entertaining imaginary com
panions when the noises which at
tracted the attention Of passers by
last night were made.

Some Figures About
Salem Wet and Others
About The City Dry

According to the records at the
county clerk S office, where ALI af'fi-
daFits for liquors must be filed, be-
fore the state went dry last January
I those who were accustomed to GER
tain kinds of stimulants, must have
laid in a fairly good supply, as but
1856 quarts of whiskey were received
during January of this year,
The beer drinkers needed only II
quarts and those preferring wine call
ed for only four quarts.
But as the supplies run low, business
picked up, for in February 406 quarts
of whiskey were received in Marion
county, 3S quarts of beer, five quarts
OF brandy and / quarts of wine.
After. two montns of a dry state,
the old supplies were evidently running
low. as March shows quite an increase
ins-the amount of liquor coming into
the county. For the third month of
the year, GAG quarts of whiskey were
shipped into the county, 81 quarts of
wine, The demand for pure ethyl alco-
hol for ''exteriOr purposes only also
increased each month.
with the coming or spring ana the
consequent tired feeling, there was an
additional demand for stimulants and
in April, 692 quarts OF wbiskey were
shipped into Marion county, l21 quarts
of beer, of brandy and l6 of wine.
A sudden shortage must have been
noticed among those who must have
their booze, as the May record shows
S26 quarts of whiskey coming in, 1888
quarts of beer and 27 quarts of wine
With the coming of June and the hot
weather, the beer drinkers got busy,
as. during the month the receipts of
beer mounted to S25 quarts and of
whiskey,. SAG quarts.
During the first six months of this
year, 762 quarts of beer were shipped
int" Marion county, and 3646 quarts
of whislsey, brandy and gin. Wine
does not appear to be popular drink,

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
HUST[|NC UP CARS
Claim Strings Of Empies Com
ing, Will Distribute so
Cars Daily

While there has been no Official in
formation received by the state public
service commission on the matter there
is general understanding that the
Southern Pacific company is responding
to the demand for ears more vigorous
ly than has been the case heretofore.
An announcement has been given out
through Portland that beginning today
the company will send so ears q day
into this territory from southern Cali
fornia. 1t is started that trains of emp
ty cars are being made up and hurried
northward. All the way from Ashland
to Portland cars will be dropped at
points where the most urgent need ex-
lists. o. -;
1t is expected therefore that by Mon
day or Tuesday something definite may
be known as to the prospects for re-
lief from the situation which has ex-
listed in the Willamette valley during
the past several weeks
The shortage this morning on the
Portland division of the Southern Pa
cific is slightly less than it was yester,
day. The present figure is 1863.
In the opinion of several shippers,
this action, ON the part of the railroad
company is the direct result ofsthe or
der issued by the public service com.
mission for hearing as to the causes
for the failure of the company to sup.
ply an adequate number of cars to meet
the requirements of Oregon shippers.
This hearing has been set for September
90, the earliest date on which it can
legally be held after notice is served.

Evidence Indicates
Thompson Could Run Auto

Hillsboro, Or, Sept. g. Attorneys
for Bennett Thompson, on trial charged
with numbering Mrs. Helen Jennings
and Fred Ristman, jitney driver, at
the Gore ranch last May, today
laughed at reports that their case was
damaged by Mrs. Nellie NJ. Bennett or
Portland.
Mrs. Bennett testified she had seen
Thompson riding on motor truck.
Prosecution lawyers declared this was
important, as Thompson asserts he does
not know how to drive an automobile,
and therefore could not be the man
that drove Ristman's machine some
distance down the road after having
killed Mrs. Jennings with sledge and
slain Ristman with hammer or mon
key wrench.
The state claims that, if Thompson
rode on motor trucks often, he would
pick up sufficient knowledge of ma
chinery to run a jitney.

as only SO quarts were received dur4
ing the six months.
During the first six months Of 1915,
while Salem was. dry, local option was
the rule and saloons were found in
many parts of Marion county. The
state became absolutely dry beginning
January l, 1916. Some of the results
of the different conditions comparing
tne first six months of 1915 to the
first six months of 1916 is as ollows.
Total bank deposits, July J., 1915,

Salem, $3,294,SS0
Total savings deposits, July l, 1915,
$9S7,l
Total savings deposits, July l, 1916,

Even the post Office savings DEPART
ment showed radical increase for
the close of the six months of this yeas
compared to one year ago. On July l,
1915, $3s,636 was on deposit with the
government, and ON July l, 1916, the
sum of $45,507.
Salem went dry in the fall of 1918,
hence the first six months of that
year were what might be called "wet"
months. In comparing the arrests the
records show as follows:
First six months of 1913, wet months
235 arrests. First six months Of 1914,
with Salem dry but nearby towns wet;
arrests, 66, and for the first six months
of this year, 35 arrests.
The drunk and disorderly arrests .aps
pear to be on the wane, according to
the records For the first six months
of 1913, everything wet, there was 1875
arrests, but with the town dry, tnis
number fell to 3s for the following
year and the drunk and disorderly ar
rests for the first six months of this
year were only %.
Vagrancy arrests fell off considerably

40. the first six months of 1914, shows
2s and the same six months of this
