ROTAR|ANSITOLD
SALEM WATER IS
AMONG THE BEST

Declaring that the people of Salem
ned not be ashamed to speak OF their
water supply as one of the best IN the
country" Paul Wallace, vice-presidens
of the Salem Water company, gave
valuable facts and figures on the water
system here to members of the Rotary
club at their weekly luncheon at the
Hotel Marion this noon. He said that
all tests taken of water, under new
method installed six years ago, haa
proven that the city gets the purest Oh
water.
Mr.. Wallace, in reply to prevalent
question of what the water company
would do to keep pace with the growth
Of the city, said that this will be taken
care Of" and that the company would
at all times furnish an adequate water
supply for the city.
He decried movements to bring wa
ter to the city from mountain sources.
1t is As miles to the nearest point
where the city could get pure, un-
taminated water, he said, ana that
bring water this distance would be un-
Justified until the city has grown IN
population still several thousands
,a.a tasafsN
Contrary to attacks on the city water
mains, that they are made of poor ma
terial and are insubstantial, MIR. wal
lace said that he main here are made
CT best cast iron, and that the per-
nancy Of this type of pipe could not
be questioned. lie said that there are
73 miles of water mains in Salem. A
billion and a half gallons of water
were pumped by the water companys
plant last year, he asserted. Speaking
on the labor situation, Frank q.
Deckebaeh of the Marion creamery,
declared that so long as production Is
hampered by strikes and labor trouble,
and so long as European markets are
denied American products, will hard
times be felt in this country. He said
that by paying more wages TO workers
costs of production increase. with the
natural consequence the high cost Of
living is still more elevated, bringing,
you see, really no benefit TO the la
morer who demands greater pay"

DANCE HALLS COME
IN FOR SCORING At
HANDS OF BINGHAM

Declaring that dance halls here Oft
en- prove the stepping stone to div rrce
court, and that they have done much
toward the corruption of young people,
District Judge George II. Bingham, in
department No. circuit court, yester-
Gay took dance hall proprietors to task
and in none too gentle terms rebuked
them for their methods of conducting
the halls. Judge Bingham made these
expressions during a divorce trial in
his court that had been the direct re-
suit of a dance hall affair"
He scored the entire dance hall
question, asserting that the repeated
violation of after hour laws could be
directly traced to them. AS the dance
halls referred to are outside of the city
it becomes necessary for those at
tendant to drive ont, and the judge
barred the fact that authorities have re-
ceived many complaint OF roadside
parties held along the drive to the
dance halls.
The report is that women of a ques-
Itionable character had been haunting
the dance halls, and that men, whose
motives could not be doubted, also fire.
quented the places. In this manner,
the Judge declared, the morals of bet
ter girls are placed in danger by asso-
citation with such people.
Judge Bingham also blamed parents
for the present status of affairs. He
sad that when he was a young man
the older folks went to the dances, too,
and the jubilee was community af-
fair. He edeplored the fact that par
Ients nodaways seldom attend dances,
and the young people, therefore, are
permitted to go without proper chap
erones.

This dispute between the mine
owners and the workers is an entire-

At the White House it was learned
