Syracuse has a center in Frank
Culver who weighs 165 pounds. He
is about twenty-five or forty pounds
lighter than the usual candidate for
the passing berth.
Besides being light. Culver is rangy
and an exceptionally accurate for
ward passer. He is regarded as one
of the surest tacklers on the field and
on top of it all has plenty Of speed
which enables him to go far out
from his position to stop the oppos-
ing player.
This shows how the old game is
changing for speed.
In the old days the center had to
weigh at least a ton.

Paul was general favorite with
his schooImates because Of his kind

missed He was greatly beloved by
his teacher. He always greeted all
with a smile whom he met. In his
school he was most exemplary boy.
He is sadly missed in his home but
God willed that his little child come
home to himself and on Monday
evening about nine o'clock he went
peacefully to rest.
Another hand in reckoning us
Another call is given;
And CLOVIS once more with angel steps
The path which reaches heaven.
The light of his young life went down
AS sinks behind the hill
The glory of a setting star
Clear, suddenly and still,
las pure and sweet his fair brow
seemed
Eternal as the sky;
And like the brooks low song, his
voice
A sound which could not die.
The blessing Of his quiet life
Fell on us like the dew;
And good thoughts, where his foot
steps pressed
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciIed
That he whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Still let his mild rebuking stand
Between us and the wrong
And his dear memory serve to make
Our faith in goodness strong.

John Seircks
Thought to Be
At Siiverton

John G.. Siercks, inmate Of the
state hospital for the insane who
escaped yesterday afternoon from
the cottage farm where he had
been working, has so far eluded
capture but officials are thought
to be close on his trail and 1t is ex-
pected that he will be overtaken at
any moment.
Officers were sent ou this morn
ing in answer to report from
Silverton, where a man supposed
to be Siercks was seen going to
the Silverton mill. He said he in
tended to apply for work. Silver
ton authorities were notified in an
efofrt to have the man taken into
custody, but further reports were
lacking up to late hour this aft
ernoon.
Siercks, who was committed to
the state hospital from Columbia
county in 1912, gained consider
able notoriety in 1915 when he
confessed to the murder OF Daisy
Wehrman and her child near
Goble, in Columbia county. John

Low exchange rates and the
scarcity OF free money abroad is
also goingto close that outlet to
any other than cheap foodstuffs.
What the Gamers will pay for
their prunes still remains a matter
Of considerable speculation. but it
is certain the price will not reach
fancy figure. Last year the can
ners were forced by the refusal Of
the growers pool and cooperative
association to sell to them to go
into the producers markets on a
competitive bidding basis that
forced prices to heighth never
never before realized by the grow
ers. This year the situation has
already been reversed and the
California and other associations
are offering to supply Gamers
with whatever prunes they will
need.
Just what prices these associa-
tions are making to the Gamers
is not known, but it is known that
some Of the larger canneries have
been calculating their selling
prices on the basis OF a price Of
Sa20 to $125 a ton for the green
fruit.

Residents Of the East Salem dis

mystery underlying. the firing of
a number of shots or blasts which
routed the entire countryside out
of their slumbers about IL o'clock
last night.
Reports from the Auburn dis
trict where the shots appear to
have been heard most distinctly
are to the effect that there were
five explosions coming at inter-
walls Of about one minute. The ex-
plosions are said to have been too
loud for gun shots and the mid
night hour is regarded as a most
time for legitimate
blasting operations.
The explosions were also heard
by number Of residents Of Salem
who, however, state that they
heard them only as dull thuds

en- to suppress the activities of this

concludes.
The petition filed with the gov

in the civic afairrs of this state
on account of the organization of
a branch of the Ku Klux Klan"
and urges that the governor use
his utmost executive powers, by
proclamation, martial law or the
calling of an extra session Of the

the activities of this anarchistic
gang, that the fair name of Ore
gon may continue unbesmirehed

Discussed For

Thirty six of the counties of

limitation" stated the speaker,
'and let me say here that no tax

is reflected through the public of
