Including that of Thomas McCutkor. besides W. H. Bradford and W. J. Cook. In addition to the United KHllways Company and the Willamette Valley Traction Company. It is claimed that iHrcc lumbering interests are behind the Conk and Bradford application, the Ufcw f the projectors of the enterprise bdiis to eoiiHtruct a line that will tap iM-rmln timber districts and utilize the road for the transportation of lumber. Control 3Iovcnicnt of Cars. The United Railways Company will prolmbly secure a shade the best of the proposition, however, by being allowed to control the movements of cars, but a provision of their franchise will undoubt edly Insist that the schedules must be ar ranged in such way as to minimize all danger of interference, and all questions relating to traffic rates and other matters where disputes are likely to arise must be submitted to arbitration. One of the conditions under which the free-for-all franchises will be granted will be a provision 'investing the city with ixnver to purchase all existing rights at any time after the expiration of five years. I General Terms of Franchise. The general terms of the franchises opening Front street to all lines of traffic were agreed upon Tuesday night at a secret meeting of all the members of the Connell with the exception of Gray, who Is absent While some opposition exists to the main feature of giving the United Hallways Company control over the move ment of cars, il fs thought the proposition can muster a .stifllcicnt number of votes to carry when it comes up for final consid eration, although Mayor Lane unques tionably holds the key to the whole situa tion, his veto privilege vesting him with a powerful weapon, as 12 votes arc neces sary to pass such a measure over his dis approval. WHAT UEPKESEXTAT1VES SAY Views Taken by United Hallways and Willamette Valley Traction. Directors of the Willamette Valley Trac tion Company will niot this morning to formulute a proposition to the joint Coun cil committee having the Front-street franchise under consideration, with which they hope to change the recommendations the committee will make today to the Council. The gist of the plan Is munici pal ownership of the line on Front street withinithe city limits. A session of the directors of the company was held last night, when the matter was thoroughly considered, and the members pf the direc torate think they have hit upon a solution of the vexed question. With the proposi tion they will make today, details of which . could not be given out last night, the Wil lamette Valley hopes to change the de cision of tho committee on the franchise, which is somewhat -in favor of the United Hallways Company. William 3. Barstow, member of the firm .of Barstow & Chambers, consulting engi neers in charge of the construction of the Willamette Valley Traction Company's .road, did not feel at liberty last night to discuss the recommendations the Joint committee will make to the City Council, as he was not advised as to what these would be. He stated, however, that it was the purpose of his company not to monopolize the Front-street tracks if jgiven the franchise, but if the franchise were made general property confusion would probably result, lie believed the proposition to he submitted today would prove .a happy solution of the whole diffi culty. If the recommendation of the joint committee is that the United Rallwavs Company shall have the right to operate the road along Front street." said J. Whyte Evans, president of the United Hallways Company, "with tho provision that other roads shall have the right to enter the city on our tracks, as I am told it is," that arrangement is entirely satis factory to us, and is what we have been contending for."

The names of the two men under suspicion are in the hands of the detectives and will be given out when the arrests arc made. TYPHOID EPIDEMIC WANING IIEAIni BOARD 3 FAS CONTROL OF SITUATION. Within Six Weeks It Hopes to Report That the Malady Has En tirely Ceased. The State Board of Health feels that It has the typhoid fever situation Jn the Willamette Valley well in hand and that at the expiration of the present cases the disease will be practically abolished. The fact that cases run from a month to six weeks, and that many patients are now down with the fever, will prevent an ab solute wiping out of the malady under that time, but it can reasonably be ex pected that after another six weeks there will only be a few scattering cases throughout the Valley. While the country health physicians only report once a month to the State Board or Health, the latter body Is keeping a close watch over the various localities where the fever has made its appearance and has co-operated In every way possible with the local au thorities in flghtingjthe disease, with very favorable results. Repeated analyses of the river water has shown not only colon bacilli but many other poisonous germs. Dr. Hobcrt Yenney. secretary of the State Board, spoke mpst hopefully of the situation yesterday and expressed the opinions stated above. "Corvallis and Sa lem," he said, "have both installed boilcd watcr drinking fountains In their public he a candidate for re-elect Ion. iDUfmuih he had decided to enter the primary e.m-N( for the Republican Homi nation for I'nHa States Senator, he thought It Mdvfrubfc to resign.

Other town which have suffered from the preeenc of fever arc taking similar precautionary measures, and the State Board Is convinced that when the iM-osem. cnyes havo run their course the fever will be practically stumped oau "The recent hard ruins have been of great lceft to the f-ver district-, flu Ing out Nloughs and ditches where gem are bred and cloning up the town gen erally. CorvaltlK is liavlng a new water plant put in and will gel the city supply of water from another stream which cm it Hex Into the Willamette. vKugene will take water probably from welh. In faet. all towns are exercising every reasonable precaution, and only boiled water !e be ing used for drinking purposes through out the Valley." "1 have two cases f typltotd fever In the hosfdtal notv which were contracted at lEugene." said Dr. Ralph Maison. "While I whs down there the hotel wax not boiling Its drinking watsr. and I had to complain mIhhu it. I remarked at the time that there would cvcntdnlly be many cases among she traveling men paftdng through the city, ami the two case In question are men from the road who atayed at the very hotel !n Eugene. It is hard to make people realize the impor tance of such precautions until they are thoroughly frightened." A lettT received by the State Board from County Physician Harris this week stales that the situation Ik well in hand In Lane County ami jwropect favorable for a speedy termination of the epidemic. It has been of a mild type, there being only about one death to 30 cases. HEAVY STAMPSALES MADE February Shows III;; IncrcaM? Over Month of Preceding- Year. Postmaster 3Iinto is of the opinion that the heavy receipts of the Port land ollice for the mouth of February will do much towards influencing the department to grunt his request fur the addition of ten clerks to the local force. The receipts for February show an increase of 25 per cent over the same month lust veur. tvlilf.li In rmrilml a phenomenal gain, as February. 195.1 was considered a heavy month because of the large volume of correspondence that went out from the Portland of fice relating1 to the LkjwIs and Clark Fair.

Undigested food, by fermenting, forms a Hlon In the stomach and this is ab sorbed in the blood. If this goes on very long, and your heart happens to be weak, you'll be found wine morning dead in bed. or you may fall back down the stairs about an hour and a half after dinner, and the doctor will call it heart disease. Yos. that may be the result, but not the cause. The cau$c Is Indigestion. Indiges tion Is a simple, common word, but It has a terrible Import. And so you may get apoplexy, and die suddenly while you're standing. If you have a weak liver, the poison of undigested food will attack it and you will get jaundice. If you have weak kidneys, you will get Bright's Disease, or diabetes, from which there Is no rescue for any man. It was a learned physician who -said that the progress of the race depended upon the stomach of Its members. And you have at sonic' time In your life eaten a heavy mcaTtcx, eaten in a hurry, and felt that "lump of lead" Immediately afterward. That lump of lead Is a hard ball of undigested food. The stomach can't digest It. and tlnds It hard to throw It out. And so it sours, and it makes you aour and everybody sour who talks with you. It gives you a bad breath and is building for you the road to dyspepsia and death, unless you stop it. Stop It with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Just think, these little tablets are every bit as powerful as the gastric Juice In your stomach. One grain will digest C00O grains of food. Ifn't this wonderful? And It is true: Just try It. and prove It. If you have any brash, gas on the stom ach, fermentation, burning, bloaty feel ing. Indigestion, dyspepsia or heartburn. Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets will make it disappear before It can do any harm to your heart or other organs. They will tnvigoratc the stomach, re lieve the stomach of two-thirds of Its work and give It a chance to rest. They will increase the flow of gastric Juice, and If you will ever "live" In your lifetime. It will bo after you have eaten a good, hearty meal, nnd taken one of these little tablets Immediately afterward. You'll Just feel fine. Take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after your next meal today and you will use them ever afterward. You will be cheer ful, vigorous and your mind will be clear; you'll have snap and vim. and add many a day to your life.

He favors parking outside streets, leaving 30 feet in the center for a driveway, and this constructed as follows: v Excavate to thc clay hardpan common hereabouts: a four or six-inch layer ot "nigger head" crushed rock: another layer of brick clay about six Inches deep; two Inches of screened gravel well rolled and a top dressing of coarse sand.
