Battle Flags Of
Oregon $ Troops
Presented State

Three beautiful silk flags have been
received by Adjutant General Stafrin
from the war department for depositing
in the state archives along with other
famous Oregon war flags Neither Of
these flags, however, accompanied the
Oregon troops to France, it is believed,
because Of delay in their completion
One of the flags is a regulation Ameri-
esa flag and the other two are regula-
tion infantry and artillery battle flags.
The infantry flag is blue with the words
{" Sixty second United States Infantry"
worked in scroll, this being the desig,
nation of the Third Oregon regiment
after its assimilation by the national
army. The artillery flag is rcd with
the words "Sixty- fifth United States
Coast Artillery" Both flags contain
q design Of an American eagle gripping
in one talon bundle Of arrows and in
the other an olive branch. The design
as wen as the lettering on both flags
are hand work and the two battle flags
are estimated to have cost in the neigh
bofhood Of $500 each. The three flags
will be placed With the other Oregon
flags in the glass case which sets just
outside the entrance to the hall of rep,
resentatives on the second floor of thu

LARGER POLICE
FORCE FOR CITY
MERCHANTS CRY

Demanding more efficiency and
greater police protection in Salem, q
committee of business men and mer-
chants Friday announced their inten-
tion of appearing before the city coun
ell at its meeting Monday night The
present force of seven men is held far
inadequate, and an effort to have the
depaatment increased substantially will
be made.
In discussing the matter Friday Chief
Of Police Varney who has long sought
additional men IL his department,
said:
'sThe city of Salem with a police
force of seven men, expects Just as
much police protection as other cities
of it's size without an eqdal number.
of men. In Portland campaign for an
additional 100 men is being waged. The
reason for this is said to be the steady
growth of the city.
"Salem, too, is rapidly growing, and
the force here must be enlarged with
it. Basing the police requirements here
on ratio with the number of men in
the Portland department, Salem needs
force of "a men. Right now we must
have at least ten more men if we are
to carry on the business of the depart
ment, and provide any sort of real
protection.
Chief yarney said that there ism t
one call box in the whole city. He said
that there are no beats, because the
shortage of men have made the sys-
tematic patrolling of the city impos-
sible. There are only three officers, two
on beats and one ON the desk, on duty
at night, Varney said.
The men Of the department are com
PEELED to work 2 hours day, and
| much dissatisfaction because of this has
been voiced by the men. They are call
ed to work at all hours without addi-
tiolal pay, and the expectation that
some of the mep may resign as a result
| is held by Chief Varney.
| The call box situation is held laugh
| able. When an officer is compelled to
!. call headquarters, or make other calls
he must rely on the courtesy of busi'
ness men, who sometimes grant the use

In the event of a serious call, such
as murder, burglary or bany robbery
the present force would be unable to
cope with it effectively, Varney said.

POWER PLANT FIRE
CAUSE OF T|E-UP IN
CAR SERVICE HERE

Reason for the shutdown Thursday
noon of an hour Of the streetcar service
Of the Salem Street Railway company,
was made known Friday by Manager
Hamilton, of the P. II. & p. company g
branch house here.
: According to Mr.. Hamilton some un-
known accident on the transmission line
between Salem and the company's gen
orators at Cazadcro caused high vol,
tagc shock in the big generator Of the
power plant at Trade and Liberty
streets, setting it afire. The generator
was entirely burned out, leaving only
the small one in operation, which was
inadequate to carry the weight of the
streetcar lines.
The final starting Of the steam driven
generator, which was held up for time
while employees cleaned prune pits out OF
the condenser suction pipes, which are
believed to have been thrown in the mill
race by the Willamette Valley Prune
association workers, was made, and the
resumption of service accomplished.
