With the guests furnishing most Of
the entertainment before the day was
over, Harry W. Scott Harley Davidson
dealer in Salem, was host 20 a number
Of HaFley-Davidson riders and enthHsi-
asts and their friends on an excursion
and picnic TO Silver Creek Falls last
Sunday.
Scott left Salem about an hour ahead
Of the crowd SO as to have things ready
when they arrived On the way out the
party was in charge of II. 7. Smith,
who has charge Of the repair depart
ment of the Scott store.
After reaching the falls about IL
o clock and picking cut camping
place, Mr.. Scott awaited the arrival
.of the motorcyclists, y but was not kept
waiting long tin one Of the fellows ar
rived, although he had tandem seat
lon his machine, he had no passenger.
We began 10 question him about the
rest Of the fellows, it seems ne had not
come with them, aud when Scott asked
him if he had come alone he glanced
back and with terror on his face be-
gan, BY gum, where is she! where is
she! We lost her. and sure enough
he had lost her about two miles back.
just at the bridge which crosses Sill
yer Creek, Revel j. Smith entertained
the crowd with a very spectacular spill,
and with no damage done.

.TRUCH HAULING PUTS
NEW DEMAND ON ROADS

In connection with the good roads
problem, another IS looming up, ana that
is, what is the best disposition of traf-
fic of the heavy truck
Lawyers all agree there is nothing
that can be done to deny the use of the
highway to the truck, although there
may be passed a law limiting the size
OF the load. In Oregon this law places
the limit at five tons, with 600 pounds
to the tire inch.
One year Ggo there was but little re.
gulated traffic between Salon and Port.
land, by truck shipment. At times a
small business had been established
but the traffic did not assume large
proportions.
Now all is changed. Ono finn alone
in Salem has constantly on the road,
mostly between Salem and Portland, 16
large trucks with trailer and some
times two trailers attached TO each
truck
Due to the fact that railroad freight
transportation is rather uncertain and
with the same condition applying 30
the express service where there is no
competition, this truck business is
gradually growing. One firm in Salem
has increased its capacity from one 2
ton truck on January Of this year to
the l6 heavy trucks.
The loganbcrry grower without an
auto truck or at least a Ford is up
against it. There may be seen during
this busy season hundreds Of trucks all
bringing in loads Of berries and hurry
ing back home. II is the day Of the
truck for fruit aud berry farming, as
now everything depends on quick deli
very.
1t is eonlcnded by those operating
trucks that II the read is properly paw
ed there is no danger, but if contractors
are permitted to sneak in two and
three inch base, instead of the five inch
as required the roads win not stand up
against the truck traffic It is claimed
that roads is constructed like the high
way near Brooks viii cause trouble in
breaking through But If built accord.
Ing 10 the specifications Of the State
Highway commission the highways will
stand the traffic just as the paved
streets in Salem hold up against 1t.
The heavy freight traffic has come to
stay, it is claimed and the big question
now Is the construction of roads with
this in view.

Even though the electric starting
system refuses to start and the crank
has been left in the garage, there are
methods to which the motorist can re-
sort to get the carsoing. One way is
to jack up one of the rear wheels and
turn it by hand with the clutch en-
gagged and high gear shifted in. The
spark should be retarded aud the
throttle opened but slightly. Before
removing the jack be sure that the
gears are shifted in neutral again.

FILTERING PLANT OR NEW
WATER SOURCE CHOICE

That Wausau will either have a new
filter plant, by which it's water may
be purified for domestic consumption,
or that new source of supply will
be tapped, is the belief of men in close
touch with the actions of the city
water commission, the city council and
the special committee recently ap-
pointed to investigate. A. V. Gearhart,
president of the city council, Emil
Flatter, president of the finance COM
mittee, B. C.. Gowen, city engineer, and
0. w. Hochtritt, superintendent of the
water department, last week, visited
pumping stations at Freeport, Cham
paign and Danville, ILL.,, and at La
Crosse and Madison, Wis.
1t has been reported that Lacrosse
had discarded it's filtering plant as
useless. This, however, was found not
to be true. Wherever filtering plants
were in use, they were efficient and
the water was clear as crystal.
Wausau has several sources of sup
ply which have not yet been touched.
If the water commission and the city
council approve, test wells may be
sunk, at small estimated cost, where
desirable water can be obtained. This
would make possible the location of
reservoir on high ground into which
enough water could be pumped daily
to supply the city. The sources, it is
known, are so located that the water
obtained can easily be led to the
pumping station by a down-hill grade.
Comparatively, the Wausau commit
tee found, our water is very soft.

DEATH OF CHRISTIAN LUND
Passed Away at His Home on Friday,
Feb. 81, 1919, Following A Long
Illness

Last Friday, Feb. 21st, Christian
Lund, one of Wausau's prominent flor
lists, passed away at his home, 1908
Grand avenue. He had been in de-
Ginning health for several years, but
it was only during the past month
that he had been confined to his bed.
Deceased had been in active bust
ness as a florist. in Wausau for
twenty-five years, building up one Of
the largest and most prosperous
green house institutions in the Wis
consin river valley. He drew to him
a very large patronage by his kindly
considerable attention and by his
knowledge and wonderful success in
raising beautiful flowers. He loved
his work and took pride in showing
his friends through his greenhouses,
which covers acres of grounds His
death is a distinct loss to our COM
munity and to the city.
Christian Lund was born in Den
mark on the 23d day of August, 1861.
He came to America in 1882 settling in
Wausau and has resided here ever
since. He received his education in
Denmark and early took up the study
of florist. He found splendid field in
Wausau for his line of work and
started in small way the business
which has grown to such large pro-
portions. His green. houses cover
many acres in which is a wilderness
of the most beautiful flowers and
plants. The houses are heated by
steam and are very attractive. The
whole is a monument to the ability
of Christian Lund.
He was united in marriage in this
city to Christina Houltman, by whom
he is survived as he is also by seven
children, Mrs. James Colby, Johanna,
Carolina, Hans, Edith, Evelyn and
Alice Lund, all of this city.
The funeral was held Monday morn
ing at 1920 from the home, Rev. D.
]. Williams officiating. Interment was
