There will be a regular meeting of the city council this evennig, and a great many petitions for street im provements are coming up. It is un derstood that all differences between the mayor and the paving companies have been adjusted, and Salem will get the most favorable contracts on a large scale ever secured f,or hard surface pavements. Several streets are being laid in concrete. August Kehrber is rushing the wqrk on Asy lum avenue, and the grading is be ing done on South Commercial street.

Mr. Kehrberger is making good' "on the concrete work against great odds, principal of which was ctiy Inspection of materials that permitted use of some bad sand, which was unavod able, as the river was up, and the sea son was so late no other material was available.

ANTI- CNITED TIESS LEASED WIRB.J Washington, April 3. The United States supreme court today decided that any manufacturer fixing a mini mum retail price for which his pro ducts are salable, through wholesal ers, does .so in violation of the Sher man anti-trust act. The opinion is one . which will sweeplngly affect the trade in pro prietary medicines. The decision was evoked through an action In which the Dr. Miles Medical company, of Elkhart, Ind., sought an Injunction restraining the Park & Sons company f Cincinnati, from selling the Miles medicines to cut rate druggists. The lower court denied the injunction and today's decision by the supreme court upholds the verdict of the lower tribunal. o HOTEL MARION HAS "ORCHESTRA FOR DINNER" That the change in the dining rom of the Hotel Marlon, in this . both regarding service and at tractiveness, will prove immensely Popular was ably demonstrated last evening, when a large crowd of Sa lem's social-elect gathered in the beautifully appointed room and en. Joyed the first orchestra concert un der the new management. A table d'hote luncheon was served, and many of those who were wont to criticise the former service, last night expressed high apprecaltion of the superb service and appeared well sat isfied with the orchestra's excellent rendition. Mr- and Mrs. Williams are to be congratulated upon the- success ot the lining room service, already appar"- -uuer meir management. Kehrberger will get several more streets to pave besides what he has. Salem, for the present, seems des. tlned to have only two kinds of pave ment bitulithlc and oancrete. There are mora petitions far bitulithlc than for any other kind, and concrete comes next. So far no other kind of pavement has been contracted) for. Asylum Avenue Pavement. 'In accordance with the instruction's pf the council, the city engineer has prepared plans and specifications for the pavement of Asylum avenue from Twenty-fourth street to the east lim its of the city with concrete, and also similar plans, for the paving of Twenty-fourth streets to the south line of the asylum grounds. The re corder tonight will b'e directed to ad. vertise for bids. The remonstrance against the pav ing of Summer street will come up for consleration, and will probably be referred to the street committee. It is proposed to have this street paved with El-oso. The city engineer will recommend that Contractor Kehrberger be paid 80 per cent of 'he contract price Tor the paving of Asylum avenue from Mill creek to Twenty-fourth street. East State Street Not Ready. A communication will be submitted by Roland K. Pae, manager of the Portland Railway, Light & power Co., suggesting that paving East State street be deferred until next season. The reason assigned is that the company, for lack of time, cannot possibly get the street in shape now for paving. The company during the winter worked a crew to get Chemek eta street ready, but the Installation of a drainage system is now delaying this street, and Mr. Page says that this puts the company so far back that it cannot get East State street ready in time for paving this season. A petition will be submitted ask ing that the council give a street run ning north from Highland avenue a suitable name. This street was dedi cated to the city some time ago, but, for some reason, was never given a name, As time for running the advertise, menta for bids has not yet elapsed, there will be no contracts awarded for street improvement until the next meeting.
