Following a suggestion made at the
Commercial club a few days ago. it Is
probable that photographs win be TAX
en- of all of Salem industries and all
arranged in panel at the Commercial
club. When a visitor happens to drop
in, by means Of these photographs, he
is quickly informed as TO what S do
ing. And if he happens to be a farmer
it would not require much talk to con
vince him that he could sell everything
he could raise.
The first Of the noon day Passion
week services under the auspices Of the
Minister'S association, was held Mon
day noon. Joseph II. Albert presided
and Rev. Dr.. Avison gave an iuspir-
ing address. Services are to be held
each day throughout the week begin
ming at 1910 and concluding ut 1915.
The management of the Oregon thea
ter has kindly donated the use Of the
theater for the purpose, and Mrs.
Hunt, their organist, has offered to
render selections on the pipe organ as
a part of the service each day. Dr..
Kantner will make the address Tues

daily invited to attend.

The Salem Auto company, agency
for the Chevrolet cars, have found
their business expanding to such an
extent in this territory that they have
decided to open a branch house at DIAL
las, which will be in charge Of G.. W.
Fox. Two carloads of O~hevrolets and
several thousand dollars worth of tires
and accessories will be placed in a con.
%venient room adjoining the Gale hotel
in that city and will be ready for bus
mess this week. This company has Sc
cured a strong hold upon the automo-
bile business in the valley, partly be-
cause of the fact that they are equip
ped with every one Of the thousands
Of parts of a Chevrolet machine and
are ready to rebuild a car on short
notice if necessary.
Is John H. McNary, as manager of the
victory liberty campaign for the city,
was in conference today with the four
colonies, W. NJ. Hamilton, T.. A..
Livcsley, John II. Farrar and W. J..
Staley and whipping things into shape
for the campaign which is to begin
next Monday. While the drive may Of
ficially continue for two weeks, :. is
thought that with the number eff hard
workers that have enlisted in the cause
that Marion county will secure its
quota within the week. This quota has
not as yet been announced, but will
probably be given out by state head
quarters this evening. Instead Of a
rather p%essimisiic feeling, so notice
able a few weeks ago, there is now con-
fidence that Marion county will be
found among the first 70 announce that
its quota has been secured. Late today
quota raj announced to be S l,237, 800.
