Not only was an ordinance Introduced in the City Council last night which confirms announcements by The Orego nian relative to vast Improvements of the Welch interests at this point, but further Information was gathered to day which Indicates that aside from Sllverton and Kosedalo extensions, to be put through this year, a line to Stayton Is an early possibility. The right of way for this line has been largely purchased through other sources and probably will soon be turned over to the Welch people. The ordinance Introduced tonight shows the extensive plans for urban improvements here. Among them Is a loop from the Summer street lines of the old Portland. Kugene & Eastern to the Commerclal-atreet lines of the for mer Portland Railway, Light A Power Company, now also the Welch lines, to extend through the state fairgrounds. In addition, the present Commercial street line to the fairgrounds will be double tracked. As still another line to the grourds. the Seventeenth-street extension will be continued to take in, the state property up to the gate. Still another Improvement Is planned In a loop from the end of the etate street carllne through the State Pen itentiary grounds to connect with the Chemeketa-street lines, which now run to the asylum. By this loop all of those state grounds at the extreme eastern edge of the city will be sur rounded by a loop.

The nhvslclan In nearly all cases of serious Illness, makes a chemical analy sis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused In any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Brighfs disease which Is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths In 110, In the state of New York alone. Therefore. It behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most Important organs. An Ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success aa a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing Influence of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for Its remarkable record of cures. ' If you feel that your kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer A Co.. Btngham ton. N.

Weddings 'raw will bo discontinued on Liberty street and from there will be extended to meet the Commercial-street line, and It is probable the old Center-street line of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern will be abandoned and this line connected with. Chemeketa street at Summer street. I By this move the proposed new cen tral d'pot of the Welch interests will j be a logical point for the converging lines. That these improvements will go through as soon as the red tape of I Coum-ll procedure can be taken care of is assured. In addition to these moves there are other large Improvements predicted.

We have made certain claims for The Apollo Player Piano which we know sound unreasonable to the man who doesn t know. For instance, the Metronome Motor, which winds and re-winds itself. The Human Touch. The Solo Device which accents the melody and can instantly omit the melody, or play the accompaniment only. Also the transposing device, which permits one to play any piece of music in any one of eight different keys. No matter what any man says; no matter how sensational, or startling our claim for the Apollo Tlayer Piano may seem to you we say, let the performance prove. We promise you a demonstration no other Player Piano in the world can equal. You owe it to yourself to investigate this wonderful instrument. Apollos cost from $a"0.00 to $1300.00. We will accept your old piano in trade at its real worth and give convenient terms for the balance. Write for Apollo booklets they are very interesting.
