Choice Lamb at the Lowest Prices for Years "GO SLOW," MAYOR'S PLAN r : 4 1 X Captain North Declares Subject Was Considered Fullj. Before Election. Simon Says He Will Investi gateTo SaTe Hie Aim. Announcement In The Oregtonian yes terday of possible changes in the type of bridge projected for Broadway and Hoyt streets across the Willamette River created nothing short of a sensation . throughout Portland, especially in the northeast portion of the city, the sec tion most vitally concerned. From all parts of the city messages were received by Mayor Simon. City Engineer Morris end others, inquiring as to the probable outcome. All questioners' were informed by the Mayor that he will carry out the wishes of the voters, expressed at the pnlls last June, and that he will con struct the Broadway span, but that he proposes to "go slow." and that, if he can build one for J1.0on.ono and thereby tav an equal sum. he will do so. No changes in the projected type, how ever, will be tolerated for a moment by the Northeast Side Improvement Asso ciation., according to Vice-President JCorth. '"Hp announced yesterday after noon that he will call a special meeting ' of that organization next week to take tome action looking toward the speedy construction of Identically the same kind of span ordered at the polls last June, irrespective of the opinion of City En gineer Morris or anyone Vise that one equally as good can be built for half the amount of money. "There is no. use in talking about an other type of bridge." declared Captain t North. -It will not do: we went into the subject fully before submitting it to the people, and we know all about the ins and outs of the proposition. We have simply got to have that high bridge, and we want it quick. The Impression is abroad in Northeast Portland that it is the Intention of -some people to dilly dally along until the O. R. & N. finishes it's new steel hridg?. and that we will then forgt the high bridge. Now. tills Is not going to hold, for we will keep on until we get what the people au thorized at the election. "It has been argued." continued Cap tain North, "that a bridge of the lift draw type, on the same level as the other bridges, will suffice, and be as good as the high bridge for less money. Why. it would cost more than $1,000,000 for approaches alone, if our original plan is changed and the other kind built. Besides, it would land people into the Terminal yards, and there would be a lot of people killed. I tell you, the peo ple want what they voted for, and right away.- As for the O. R. & N. bridge, when that is completed, the East Side will be so large that the Increased facil ities will not be noticed." "So far as I am concerned." said Mayor Simon, "there is nothing to say beyond that published in The Oregonlan this morning. "If that bridge can be . built for ll.floo.ooo. I will build it for J1.00O.0. and keep the other half of the fund in the treasury. As to a different type of span. I will have that investi gated. I never have intended to delay the construction of the bridge, but I will use business judgment in this, as In all other public business, and if there is any chance to save some money, I will do it. The people need not be alarmed about the matter, for it will receive due attention and will be put forward as fast as is consistent with good business methods."

KODOL WORKS WITH NATURE ' ri.i f TJ Whv Tt ts So Ollicklv 1 llfll iS V nX 1Z ACTS 00 in Cases of Dyspepsia and Indigestion. Undigested food is a dead weight on the stomach. You must get rid .of it if you want to feel good. Don't get rid of it by purging, for In that way the needed nourishment is lost. Remove the weight by helping the stomach digest the food. The greatest help known to science is Kodol because it digests all the food at all times, and under all Conditions. Every' table spoonful of Kodol digests J '4 pounds of food. Kodol is a scientific prepara tion, pleasant to take, and is a liquid. It must be a liquid, because some ele ments for perfect digestion must go in liquid form. Pepsin digests some foods, but not all foods. There is Pepsin in Kodol, but we cannot depend alone upon Pep sin. We rely upon other Ingredients or else digestion would not be complete. Some preparations digest partly and they are only part good. Kodol con tains the natural digestive juices that are found in a healthy stomach. It digests as Nature digests. The pen alty of Indigestion is nervous chronic dyspepsia that leads to catarrh or can cer of the stomach. Nearly all serious diseases are traceable to Indigestion. Help your stomach do its work. Give it help at once. Our Guarantee: Get a bottle of Kodol. If you are not benefited the druggist will at once return your money. Don't hesitate; any druggist will sell you Kodol on these terms.
