Logging Company
Complains Of Railroad

To compel the Valley & Siletz to
abide by the freight rates on logs which
were in effect prioF to the time the gov.
ernment allowed an increase of 25 per
cent in rates to railroads under govern
ment jurisdiction, the Charles X. Spaul-
ding Logging company today filed a
complaint with the public service COM
mission.
The logging company alleges that the
railroad company's rate on logs ship
ped in train loads from Valsetz to Crisp
is $3.50 while the company refuses to
accept logs for shipment for less than
$1.s7h.
The Valley and Siletz was under gov
ernment control only a few days but
during that time it increased its rates.
Since it was released from government
control it made application to the pub
lie service commissio for an increase in
rates, but this increase was suspended
by the commission pending invcstiga-
tion. The commission has not issued
an order yet in connection with the re-
quested increase, but it appears that the
railroad company is still using the in
creased freight rates.

QUOTA FOR
next LIBERTY LOAN
MORE Than MILLION
Thursday WiA Be First Day Of
Drive--General Steiner
In Command.

The quota for Salem for the fourth
liberty loan is placed at 81, ,057 500, ae-
eording to information received at the
Commercial club last evening.
With General R. Z. Lee Steiner in
active command and already giving all
his time to the preliminary arrange
ments, things are moving rapidly
along for the big drive to begin Thurs
day morning of this week.
Charles V. Galloway, chairman of the
speakers committee announces that
two of the livest wire speakers in
Portland have been secured for the
meeting to be held at the opera house
Wednesday evening when every one of
the 400 workers is to be present and
take his final instructions.
Saturday evening the woman 3 pa
rade will be held in the down town
district, led by the Cherrian band.
The parade will form on the north
side of the court house, with a march
to Commercial street, thence on Com
mereial to State and on State to Will
son park where there will be patriot
ic exercises and special speakers.
The big yellow automobile from Port
land, which has been seen in every
patriotic affair in that city will come
to Salem for three days beginning
Thursday, the first day of the drive.
At the state fair, arrangements have
been made for fourth liberty loan
booth with the Woman s club in charge
Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, general in
charge of the campaign, has issued the
following call to his captains:
Recognizing that the success of
the 3rd liberty loan was due to the ex-
cellent selling organization and the
personnel thereof, the government has
urged that no change be made in the
same in the 4th loan drive. Therefore,
all of the members of the 3rd liberty
lean sales organization, from the state
chairman down to your humble servant,
have agreed to serve in the same ca
pacity as last year.
CHOW, sir, | felt, as no doubt did
those above me, and as you may feel,
that / could not possibly spare the
time to be more than worker on this
drive. However, l recognized that the
national undertaking of this 4th lib
erty loan was more important than any
state or personal matter, and agreed
to- serve in the same capacity as last
year. You, therefore, have been select
ed as captain of practically the same
team and district as yau had last
time. -

Bean Market Opens
With Prices Lower

The bean market is in very unsatis
factory condition, according to g. E. lie,
bold who represents the >. G. Dalton
Co., Of Portland, bean dealers. He says
the situation is about like this: There
is left over from last season and now
in the hands of the dealers in the
country, 1000 cars. The crop this year
is about 20 per cent larger than last
year, and in addition large quantities
Of Manchurian beans have been left ov-
er from last year crop. With these
conditions, the bean market has weak.
ened and the opening price announced
is seven cents pound for choice, re-
cleaned beans, with ont over two per
cent cracked of foreign matter. From
other dealers interested in the bean sit
uation it is learned that seven cents is
about the opening market price. Last
year when the opening price was II
cents, farmers were rather backward
about selling even at that figure and III
is thought they viii be in no rush to
dihpoae Of their crop at this opening
price Of seven cents.

Salem District
Wins Honor Flag

The Hammond Lumber company of
Mill City has the distinction of being
the first one to have won this honor
flag, which now can gracefully float
in conjunction with the Stars and
Stripes from their flagpole. Their out
put for the month Of August, having
reached the grand total' of some 511,-
600 feet and the amount of this may
be better understood by explaining
that it would require about As cars to
carry it. Mr.. s. r. Sonneland, supervis-
or OF fir production for this district, is
planning an exhibit at the state fair of
lumber products as used for war aetivi-
ties, and other government uses. Mr..
Lea, secretary Of the state fair board,
is rendering every assistance and a well
appointed booth will be furnished for
the display, which will include wing
beams used in airplanes, tree nails from
locust trees, used in ship building, of
which Salem is furnishing her full quo
ia andother exhibits, including the ship
building. An effort is to be made to
make the afternoon of September 2s,
one devoted to the Loyal Legion of
Loggers and Lumbermen and it is ex
pected that arrangements will be made
which will entitle each member wearing
his button free admission on this after
noon.
The Loyal Legion was organized thru
Col. Disque for the purpose of Great
ing a spirit Of coordination among the
men who are employed in the various
branches of the lumber industry. It'll
might well be termed civilian branch
Of the army, being obligated to support
the government in every way essential
to the winning of the war.

BILL TO Increase
Salaries OF POLICE
BEFORE THE council
. Lights In Clusters Ordered
Turned On Has Busy
Session.

On account of the rapidly increasing
traffic in the streets of Salem and the
approaching state fair, at the session
of the common eouaeil last evening,
Frank Ward sent in Il written request
that markers or stands be placed at the
intersection of the principal street cor
ners in order that all cars may safely
make the turn without the chance Of
cutting corners. As Mr.. Ward was not
present. the request will come up again
at the next meeting of the council.
The city recorder was ordered to re-
quire the Portland Railway Light and
Power company TO turn on all the lights
in the clusters of the down town dis
trict. Some time ago, from stand
point of economy, the city council had
ordered all lights turned off from the
clusters excepting one. Hereafter, they
will all be on,

request to the council was granted the

be done.
The county was given permission to
leave the city paving plant at its pre-.
sent location near the fair grounds, pro
vided that the city does not want ii
elsewhere. When the plant was leased
to the county last summer, it was agreed
that it should return the plant to its
old location ON 18th street. As there
is about five miles to pave on the Port
land road next spring, the county would
rather leave the plant near the fair
grounds than spend $500 to place it on
18th street.
An ordinance was introduced provid
ing for an increase of salaries for the
members of the police, fire ana s,yret
departments and same was referees "a
the committee on streets. The ordinan
&c provides that the chief of the fire
department shall receive $1l0 a month.
and the captain to receive $95 o month.
Can men are to be paid $40 a month
and regular members of the fire depart
ment to receive $50 month for the
first six months, $85 a. month for th
following six months and then ON a re.
gular solary of 800 a month. Policemen
are to be paid the same amount be.
ginning with $50 and after theone
years service, 800 a month. The ordin-
anee also provides that the common
council may increase or diminish the
number of policemen at its pleasure, but
IN case Of the dismissal of any police
man, the reason for said dismissal shall
be stated in the order.
