SHOOTING RANGE ATOP HOTEL
Roof of New York Hosiery to Have
Rifle Club Next Winter

New York.-The roof of a we'll known
hotel is going to be converted into
shooting range next winter, with club
that is to be composed of men, women,
boys and girls to do the shooting. Since
the war came to America nearly every
body wants to learn how to shoot, and
the keepers of rife galleries have been
coming money. Miss Martha Maynard
is to have charge of the new Organiza-
ton, and Miss June Haughton, who il
world famous shot, will supervise the
actual firing.
An architect has been directed to con-
vert the roof into an English shoot
ing ground and lodge, with provision
against any possible danger from stray
shots.

straw behind a threshing machine.

From the beginning of the engagement
until the end the Americans lived up to
all the traditions Of the American Army,
the records showing the bravery Of the
detachment and of individual members.
The German raid on the American
trench was carried out against members
Of the second contingent entering the
trenches for training. These men had
been in only few days. Before dawn
Saturday the Germans began shelling Wig
orously the barbed-wire front Of the
trenches. dropping many high explosives
Of large caliber. A heavy artillery fire
was then directed SO as to cover all the
adjacent territory. including the passage
leading up to the trenches thereby form
ing most effective barrage in the rear as
well as in the front.

WacOnda Boy Burned
In Gasoline Fire

With his hands and face burned to
blister, Otto Russell, aged Is years.
son of c. @. Russell, of Waeonda. was
brought 10 the Willamette sanatorium
about twelve clock last night as the
result of the burning of a ten gallon
can of gasoline.
Otto Russell is the janitor OF the
Waeonda school house, and every two
weeks the literary society puts on a
play. Last night a rehearsal was called
and he went to the school house TO pre-.
pare it. They had poor success with
the gasoline lights and he went to ad.
Just them. In some way that is not
now known, the cap of the gasoline
storage tank was removed and the gas.
oline ignited and sent flame pouring
out.
On account of his clothes being wool
and his cap also being wooden his hair
was not burned nor was his sweater or
trousers, although he was enveloped in
flame. The interior of the school house
was soon mass of flames. 1t was on
ly by strenuous efforts of the people
that the school house was saved.
Although the shock of the burns was
severe, this afternoon he was consider
ably free from pain and will probably
not suffer much injury from his bap-
tism of fire,

Proposed Trading Stamp
Bill Bitterly Opposed

The proposed trading stamps bill,
&nown as house bill No. 316 is meeting
with bitter opposition of not only the
merchants of Salem and Portland, but
from business men in all parts of the
state. Last evening representatives
from all parts of the state appeared be-
fore the committee having the bill in
charge, voicing their opposition to any
change in the present law relative to
the use of trading stamps in the state
Thursday evening the committee will
hear those in favor of the bill. Accord
ing to the statements and opinions of
several Salem merchants, the introduc-
ton of trading stamps in state bene-
fits only one big corporation in the
east, having the effect of practically
adding from three TO four per cent to
the overhead expense Of every merchant
handling stamps. The present law prac
tically shuts out the big eastern cor
poration and this is satisfactory to the
merchants. All the merchants inter
viewed in Salem regard the introduc-
ton Of the bill permitting trading
stamps in the state as a piece Of per-
nicious legislation.

PLAN FERRY FOR
TEMPORARY USE
Bridge Committee Busy Try
ing to Solve Tangled
Situation

The committee appointed TO provide
some means of crossing the river met
yesterday afternoon. when il was de-
eided that a temporary ferry would
relieve the general situation while the
railway bridge was being planked and
while the two county courts were think
ing over the building of a bridge across
the Willamette.
Today the committee held several
conferences with C. X. Dennison and
also with Captain Mitchell, of Portland,
as to the size of a ferry that would be
practicable and as to where the ferry
should run.
1t is probable that the ferry landing
on the Salem side of the river will be
at the foot of Trade street and on the
west side at what is known as the old
ferry landing, on the point opposite
Court street. There is a road leading to
this west side landing that could be
made available by partly planking and
graveling. 1t would be necessary to
build Il landing on the west side.
The city will probably be asked to
cooperate with the committee in ar,
ranging landing on this side of the
river and for .graveling the road to
the old ferry landing on the west side.
A conference will be held this evening
with Captain Mitchell of Portland in
regard to the use of ferry and also
with Mr.. Dennison. 1t is the intentions
OF the committee to have a ferry run
ming as soon as arrangements can be
made and the landings prepared On ac-
count of the locks at Oregon City,
none of the large power driven ferries
of Portland can be brought up the
river.
An effort will be made within a few
days to once again get the Polk and
Marion county courts together to de-
termine whether the dead lock is on for
good or whether there is a disposition
to agree on type of bridge:
Anyhow, a ferry is assured as soon
as landings can be built and the ap-
proach built on the west side.

United States viii Make
Own Naval PrOjectiles

Washington, Jan. 31.-Secretary Dan
iels has decided the United States will
make its own navy projectiles if United
States manufacturers can't supply at
the reasonable rates.
While no official announcement has
been made, it was officially limited to-
day that the arrangement whereby Had
fields, the British concern, was to sup
ply $43,000,00 or more of projectiles, is
off.
The navy department this week will
advertise for machinery to equip a gov
ernment projectile plant. Admiral
Fletcher, coincidentally, will look for a
suitable site for the government fact
ory He was so instructed today.
This action was decided upon despite
communication from the British min
lister of munitions saying Hadfields
might be able to supply the projectiles
wanted within Is or 16 months.
One American firm, Daniels said, has
offered to lease its plant, or sell out
right to the government. The depart
ment will consider any proposition that
the company will make, Daniels said.
The secretary would not divulge the
company's name. The communication
from the minister of munitions, Daniels
said, would not affect the present status
of the projectile situation, since the
advice was merely that the contracts
were held up under "present exigen-
cies."
The fact that the contract might be
filled after about 10 months was "mere-
ly the opinion of representatives of the
British firm and it is not known how
long present exigeneies will continue, -
Daniels said.

EFFORT WILL Be MADE
TO AID OLD PEOPLE
Soliciting Committee Begins
Work for Funds For New
Building

An effort will be made this week by
those interested in the Old Peoples
Home to secure subscriptions amount
ing to $4,000, whereby other donations
amounting to $4,000 may be assured.
Mr.. Brown of eastern oregon has vol
unteered to give $4,000 to the home
provided like amount was raised by
next July. Those interested in raising
the $4,000 have arranged whereby
$4,000 shall be raised by donations in
the state outside of Salem.
AS the new buildings to be erected
will cost $4,000, nothing will be done
until Salem people raise its share of
$4,000. OF this amount about $500 has
already been subscribed.
At meeting held yesterday after
noon, the following committees on sub
scription were appointed: For the wo-
men Miss Matte F. Beatty, chairman;
Mrs. A. N. Bush, Mrs. John H. Albert
and Mrs. G. p. Bishop. The men ON the
soliciting committee are William Me
Gilchrist, Jr., chairman; W. M. Hamil-
ton, David w. Eyre, Walter C. Wins
low and Fred w. Steusloff.
The financial statement for the home
for the year ending June 80, 1916, show
ed that the total cash receipts were
$2396.3O and the supply donations, $27S.
53. The expenditures were $2,399.36,
leaving a cash balance of $275.47.
There have been many applications to
become members of the Old Peoples ,
Home but the accommodations were
such that only 10 could be cared for at
once. Hence with the generous proposal
of Mr.. Brown it was thought best to
equal his donation, thereby giving Sa-
lie $4,000 home.
The Old Peoples Home was opened
October II, 1909, by the donation of
the First Methodist church of the Ware
property on Twelfth and Ferry streets.
Later a lot adjoining was purchased.
Since its opening, it has been home
for "a old people with II at present
in the home,
