The Board accepted Mr. Wahl berg's offer to place this literature in hotels and clubs In the cities and towns he intends to visit, which distribution the traveler will attend to without cost to the board other than freight and postage on the packages, having undertaken this work for Oregon simply through a spirit of loyalty for the state and a desire to assist the board, of which he is an en thusiastic member.

Newhall wrote a letter to City Engineer Taylor some time ago calling attention to the inconvenience to which the public is being put on account of the condition of this street, and he agreed to "look into the matter." Hun dreds of people pass over this embank ment to reach the East Side water office and the business section. Business men on Grand avenue were in hopes when the embankment was completed that the street would not be obstructed, much less turned Into a sand yard. Child Terriblt Scalded.
