Many Salemites Visit
: Mckenzie RiUer Resorts

Mckenzie Bridge, Or, Aug. Cit
was only very few years ago that va
cationists looking through the columns
of the various state papers, in search of
an outing place, where complete quiet
ness and rest were assured, discovered
with delight little modest reader an.
nouncing the Mckenzie river resorts
Mckenzie Bridge Inn, Belknap Springs
and Foley Springs-each described as
possessing these very attributes.
Those who responded to those adver-
tisements, and who hearkened to the
call of these places again this year,
and conditions vastly different, so
rapidly and widely has the fame of this
group spread abroad
But while the crowds grow larger and
larger each year and modern improve
ments must Of necessity be added to
meet the growing patronage, the prim-
tive charm of mountains, rivers springs
and forests remains as great as be-
fore, so that those who in a way, may
miss the extreme quictness, find in
these other things adequate recompense.
The road which reaches these places
the Lincoln Higway--is in better
condition this year than it has ever
been. Motorists from Salem and north
ern points are unable, however, to make
the trip directly through Springfield
as heretofore, owing to the repairing
of the bridge between that place and
Eugene, and are obliged to take a more
circuitous route, by way of the Coburg
road out of Eugene, entering Spring
field from the west.
Sportsmen and vaeationists began
their annual pilgrimage, for the greater
part, in May this year, but the larger
number of the former are not expected
until September, owing to the more
favorable condition of the river which
is expected about the latter part of Au-
gust. There have been few catches Of

5000 March In Parade at

Butte, Mont. Aug. 6.--Open opposi-
tion TO the selective draft today added
complications to Butte's labor troubles.
Examinations of men drafted in Sill
ver Bow county outside the city limits
of Butte began today. Twenty percent
of the men summoned failed to appear.
Practically all claimed exemption.
''To hell with the draft,' was an ex-
preston frequently heard even in tn,
corridors of the court house today.
The examination of men drawn in
the city of Butte will begin Thursday
morning. Authorities here fear that the
strong anti-1raft sentiment may come
to the surface then. Most of the men
who marched in Sundays parade at the
funeral of Frank Little were of draft
age.
"The federal government is prepared
t. meet any situation that may arise, -
b. W. Byrn, special agent of the de-
rartment of justice told the United
Press today.
"Three hundred troops are here now
ready for any disturbance These troops
will remain until all troubles are set

that ne more stscab - bulletins will be

the striking miners to picket the mines.

der martial law.

been utilized by the tributary noun
tains and foothills as their outlet for
the tremendous amount of water caused
by the unprecedented winter SHOWS.
Walter Honeyman of Portland, who
came up here in May, remains the
champion fisherman thus far, but it is
thought that his record will be easily
broken during the coming month. Ang-
lers are mainly using "Blue and

The beautiful Michigan lake trout
which has been planted in the lakes of
the Cascades are becoming very plen-

five pounds have reached Belknap this
year, from Lost Lake about ten mile
distant, caught by sportsmen who are
enthusiastic about these fish in connec-
tion with the future Of Oregon ang-
ling history.
There has been some little misunder-
standing this year aoout the closing of
certain tributaries of the Mckenzie,
some believing that casting was to be
prohibited in all of them. This is not
the ease, however, the order closing
