SCIXDED AND PLANK WALKS ' SUBSTITUTED BRIDGES AND OTHER LITTERS. After a lively little scrap, la which almost every councilman took a band, the council last evening rescinded Its action In ordering a cement sidewalk on Miller street, from Commercial to Rock, and a plank walk will be laid Instead. The council at a meeting a week ago passed a resolution directing that a cement sidewalk be laid along the street. Last evening a remonstrance was presented, and, while a remon strance against the construction of a aldewalk Is unavailing, save as a re. quest, the majority of the councllmen were with the remonstrators, and they won out. Varlou sreasons were urged by the remonstrators against the construc tion of a cement sidewalk, but the principal one urged by the council men favoring their cause was that they were poor people, and unable to pay for It. Councilman Elliott was favorable to a cement sidewalk, and fought tor it, and so did Councilman Larky. In answering the argument made by the councilmen, Councilman Lafky stated that most of those opposing cement walks had been content for the past 40 years without any walks at all, and they were taking the at titude that what was good enough 40 years ago was good enough now that they were generally opposed to public Improvement. Councilman Elliott stated that the city was far behind In up-to-date walks, and that when the proper time came he would favor the passage of an ordinance requiring cement walks to be installed In all portions of the city favor an ordinance which would put it in a class with other modern cities. Otlier Matters Transacted. A remonstrance was also received with relation to the laying of a ce. ment sidewalk on Oak and Liberty streets, and it was referred to the committee on streets. R. C. Hallberg represented to the council that he had built a bridge across Mill creek at Twenty-third street, and desired that the council refund him half of the cost of the bridge. It was referred to the com mittee on bridges. Councilman Sauter stated that the approaches to the steel bridge were 1n a bad condition, and that Judge Bushey's attention had been called to the fact, and that he had agreed to take the subject up with the county Judge 6t Polk onunty. and have them repaired. A petition for a bridge across Mill creek at Twenty-second street, near Shelton, was referred to the bridge committee. A' resolution for the construction of re-enforced concrete abutments for the bridge across Mill creek on Four teenth street was adopted. The Union street sewer district was created, and a sewer will be eon. etructed in it for the purpose of re lieving the Marlon and Court street ewers. Chemical Engineer Simpson, of the Are department, tendered his inclina tion, and It was accepted. I WILL MOVE THEIR TRACK -TO THIRTEENTH After being assured that the grant ing of a permit to the Portland Rail way, Light & Power company for the removal of Its track on Twelfth street In order that the sewer might be laid along the street, and also giving it permission to discontinue the ser vice during the time ot the Iniprove- T . ff , We publish all the ingredients of JtilCtl 1 JLlQir Ayer's Hair Vi2or- Your doctor can thus quickly decide any hair question.

Councilman Durbln first called the attention of the council to the matter. He stated that Superintendent Page had indicated to him that the com pany desired to take up Its track on Twelfth street, and move it to Thir teenth and he wondered If granting them the permit asked for might con fer upon them such a right. City At torney Corby advised him that the city would forfeit no rights with re lation to the' company by granting the permit Mayor Lachmund stated that Gen eral Manager Hill had advised him that the company intended to lay down a new tifick on Twelfth street and that In view of this he did not believe that company would, If pos sible, avail itself of an opportunity to move the track from Twelfth street. WHAT IS DOING AT THE WILLAMETTE The annual freshman glee will be held In the university chapel tonight. This glee consists in each class of the affllllated colleges taking part In a srng composed by one or more of Its members. The froshmen have a song written by freshmen and the sopho more and juniors and seniors, like wise. The winner of this glee Is pre sented with a large pennant by the freshman class. The judges will judge on music composition and the manner In which the songs are sung. Manager McMeachant, of the glee club, has arranged Jor another trip, which will take the club to Eugene, Corvallis, Portland and Vancouver. This trip will probably be within two weeks. The young men of the club enjoy these jumps very much, and they await this trip with pleasure, since It will take In Portland, and will give them an opportunity to play to a metropolitan audience. There will be a practice track meet with the lads from Salem High this afternoon 'on the athletic field. Some of the boys from the S. H. S are good athletes, and will make the older fel lows travel to beat them. The baseball team will play the Chemawa Indians tomorrow on the university grounds, and a good game is expected. The Indians have beat en In every game so far played, and they are confident today of taking some scalps from the Methodists. What's in McClurcs The leading feature In McClure's Magazine for May is an article by Josephine Toziar on Maria Montes 8orI, "A Wonder-Worker In Educa tion." This Is the first time that the wonderful educational discoveries of Madame Montessorl have been de scribed In the English language. By this new system that Is here ex plained children of four learn to write In six weeks without effort or strain. "The City Bank: the Feder ation of the Great Merchants," an other of the "Masters of Capital" series, by John Moody and George Klbbe Turner, deals with the growth of Wall street, and In particular with the rise of the City Bank.

T. Vernon, of Alsea, the former a re tired merchant, and the latter a real estate dealer, two of tha most Influen tial citizens of that place, were in the city yesterday on business of great importance to both the people of the Alsea country an dthe city of Albany, if well authenticated rumors are to bo relied upon, Eays the Albany Her ald. The Herald learned this morning from excellent authority, though not official, that these gentlemen came to Albany for the1 express purpose of n conference with the Albany & Inter urban Railroad oompany, a majority of the officials of which are residents of this city. Messrs. Malone and Vernon, It is rumored, came to Albany In deadly earnest after railroad connections, and voluntarily pledged and offered to execute contracts for tonnage of sufficient volume to justify the 3n terurban people In considering tne feasibility of building a line into the Alsea country. As a matter of fact, these gentlemen were ready to pledge over 200,000,000 feet of timber haul age, which if distributed on a time basis, would amount to 40 cars of capacity tonnage a day for a period of Ave years. While the imterurban officials in this city will confirm none of these rumors, which the Herald has been able to gather up, yet Vice-President J. M. Hawkins admitted this morning that his company had agreed to a conference with a committee of Alsea people on the question of possible ton nage In that vicinity, for the reason that the. timber and other interests In the Santlam district, through which the Albany & Interurban have already completed a survey, seemed somewhat Indifferent In the matter of securing the proposed roac. When asked If there was a rea sonable possibility that the route of the proposed road via Corvallis and the Alsea country, he merely said that this was a question that de pended upon the volume of business that might be guaranteed the road and was a matter wholly up to the people. Vvn Picture of General Lre and of President Jefferson Davis. Our most Illustrious caller that spring was the commander-in-chief of the Army of Northern Virginia. General Lee came one evening, and, after a pleasant talk with my mother and me, arose to go, we escorting him to the front door. It was broad moonlight, and I recall as If It were yesterday, the superb figure of our hero standing in the little porch without, saying a few last words as he swung his military cape around his shoulders. It did not need my farvld Imagination to think him the most noble-looking mortal I had ever seen. As he swept off his hat for a second and final farewell, he bent down and kissed me, as he often did the girls he had known from childhood. At that time General Lee was literally the Idol of the Confederacy. His moral grandeur, recognized by all, lifted him Into the region where "emvy, nor calumny, nor hate, nor pain" ventured to assail him. We felt, as he left us and walked off up the quiet, leafy street In the morn light, that we had been honored as by more than royalty. We went often to Mrs. Davis re ceptions, where the president never failed to say kind words In passing, and sometimes to tarry for a pleasant chat. Always grave, always looking as If he bore the sorrows of world, he was Invariably courteous and some times playful In his talk with very young women. These entertainments of Mrs. Davis, held In the evening, between limited hours hours, were at tended by every one not in deep mourning. The lady of the Confed erate White House, while not always sparing of witty sarcasms upon those who affronted her, could be depended upon to onnduct her salon with ex treme grace and conventional ease. Her sister, Margaret Howell, aided to lend It brilliancy. I have always re gretted that my path In life and that of Mme. de Stoeurs have diverged so widely since.

She says: Tor bl.euln Coltolene is all that could be desired. The biscuits are light and flaky, with none of that disagree able odor often fcund In foods short ened with lard. Cottolene Is also an excellent medium for frying croquettes and doughnuts. It elves them a clean, crisp, brown crust. Other noted experts, such as Mrs. Sorer and Marion Harland, have given similar testimony to the merits of Cot tolene. It not only gives better results than lard but is much more wholesome and economical as well Little Norman Nelson, fged four, managed to lose himself Monday in Portland, and when found was four miles from home.

Portland police have been timing autos on Columbia boulevard, and re port the majority of them speeding from 22 to 36 miles an hour, and some even faster.

The Warren Construction company was awarded the contract for the paving of Liberty street with bitu llthlc last, evening by the council, and they will commence just as soon as It is possible. The bid was $1.85 per square yard, and there goes with it a guarantee that the company will keep the street in good condition for a period of five years. A bid to pave Summer street with El-oeo pavement was received from the Universal Construction company, but, as some of the items contained in it seemed high, It was referred to the street committee for considera tion, upon the motion of Councilman Lafky, chairman f that committee. A petition from property owners on Belmont, F and1 Nebraska streets, asking that they be paved with El oso, and waiving all rights of remon strance was presented and granted, and the engineer was instructed to prepare the necessary plans and spec ifications. Plans and specifications were adopted for the paving of Twenty-first street from Asylum avenue to State street with concrete, and also for the paving of Court street with the same kind of a pavement. After an amend ment"the specifications for Improving D street were adopted, but those pro viding for the paving of Chemeketa were referred to the street commit tee for correction. Averts Awful Tragedy. Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wil loughby, of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1) prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. Doctors had said her frightful cough was a "consump tion" cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. King's New Discovery. "I have been using it for some time," she wrote, "and the awful cough has almost gone. It also saved my little boy when taken with a severe bronchial trouble." This matchless medicine ihas no equal for throat and lung troubles. Price 50 cents and $1.00. Trial botle free. Guaranteed by J. C. Perry. o Try a Journal want ad.
