BRIDGE NEARLY FINISHED Board of Trade Planning Big Cele bration for Day Steel Structure Connects Both Sides of Willamette Valley. SALEM. Or Oct. 12. (Special.) To celebrate the Joining' of the east and west sides of the Willamette Valley, the executive committee of the Salem Board of Trade Is starting preparations for a grand event for early in November. This event will mark the completion of the Portland, Eugene A Eastern Rail road bridge across the Willamette River, which will males Salem the most important suburban railroad center south of Portland. Next Wednesday the executive com mttleee of the Board of Trade will meet for the purpose of naming a definite date for the celebration. An Invitation has been forwarded to Robert E Stra horn, president of the road, asking that be be either present or send a repre sentative. In addition to the completion of the bridge, it is assured that the first leg of the intirurban service which is to connect Salem with Silverton and the rich section of the valley to the North east of this city will be complete, and It is hoped that gasoline motor cars will be pressed Into service for the purpose of bringing residents of that section to Salem for the celebration. The road is now complete from Salem to Fir, with the exception of a few miles of ballast, and the engineers who have the matter in charge will be pre pared to turn It over to the operating department within the next 10 days. The eight miles of track is the link which will give the Portland. Eugene & Eastern an opportunity to bring elec tric trains through the Molalla Valley to the State Capital. That section of the new system runs from Can by to Silverton by way of Molalla. From Silverton to Fir the old Springfield line is to be electrified, branching off at Fir for Salem. Bridge Kearm Completion). The new I2G0.000 bridge Is not only the first one to be acquired by this city as a connection between the busi ness interests of the west side and those of the east side of the valley, but Is a magnificent structure. Five of the concrete piers are now almost com pleted. There will be 688 feet of steel spans and over 900 feet of approaches. The draw is of the lift type and when raised will clear the river 87 feet above the low water mark. It is of the same type as the Hawthorne-street bridge at Portland. Up to five years ago the only way Salem people could reach the west side of the valley was to swim the river or walk. Then came the Salem, Falls City & Western, but it stopped on the west side of the valley and hacks were pressed into service to reach the de pot across the river. That road was purchased by the Portland, Eugene & Eastern and the first unit of its in terurban system, of which Salem will be an important center, is the com pletion of the bridge which will bring the electrified Salem, . Falls City & Western into the city on Union street. Eugene Will Celebrate. The entire system of the Portland, Eugene & Eastern will measure 340 miles when completed next July and will give all of the west side of the valley rapid transit connections with Portland and Salem. All of the old west side steam lines of the Southern Pa cific have been taken over by the Port land, Eugene & Eastern and it also owns the streetcar systems in Salem, Eugene and Albany. Plans have been outlind for streetcar service for Cor- vallls. At Eugene it has built eight miles of new track since March 1, while at Salem men are constantly at work extending the service where needed. Probably 11,000.000 will be expended by the Portland, Eugene & Eastern within the vicinity of Salem. Next Tuesday Eugene will celebrate the arrival of the Oregon Electric at that city. Today T. L. Billlngsly, su perintendent of streetcar systems for the Portland, Eugene & Eastern, is sued orders that every aid be given Eugene people in making the affair a success. Mr. Billlngsly has ordered that all streetcars be kept off the main street of Eugene during the parade and has sent a new 96000 car to aid in caring for the crowd. Superintend ent Billlngsly has also granted permis sion for the city to use all streetcar wires and poles for decorative purposes.

Legislator Is Scored. OREGON CITY, Oct 12. (Special.) Grant B. Dimick, who has been chal lenged several times to a joint debate of single tax by W. S. U'Ren, has sent Mr. U'Ren a scathing answer to his various letters. Mr. Dimick declares the tax roll circulated by Mr. U'Ren and his associates is replete with errors, and that no part of it can be relied upon in a discussion of the mer its of the proposition. The answer concludes as follows: "If you had made a correct copy of the tax roll, as you agreed, or if you even had made the corrections that the Assessor requested you to make, and which you promised to make before you circulated your purported roll, I would consent to debate the single tax question with you, but I do not desire to debate the question with anyone who is working under a salary, for a system that, it carried into execution, would make pocketbook profits for the merchants and manufacturers and practically destroy private ownership in the home and farm." The following are excerpts from the letter: I have received two letters from you within the last few days requesting' me to meet you In joint discussion of the sing-le tax bill, which will appear on the ballot at the next general election to be held on the 2d of November next, and I wish to inform you that If you had printed a true ropy of the assessment roll of Clackamas County for the year 1910, aa you agreed to do, I would gladly discuss the single tax question with you, using the copy of the roll aa the basis for an argument, and In fact a true copy of the assessment roll for 1910 and a comparison of the assessments therein with the proposed single tax as sessment! would be a sufficient argument to convince the average taxpayer whether ho was for or against your single tax system. Ore Eerrore Alleged. Z have Just received what purports to be your copy of the tax roll above mentioned and find therefrom that more than IS, 060,- 000 of assessed property on the tax roll for said year has been leftout of your pur ported copy of the roll, and whether that has been done Intentionally by you and your employe I am unable to state, but 1 am Informed by the County Assessor of Clackamae County that he called your at tention to the gross- errors In your purported roll before you circulated the same, and you promised him to make the corrections, which you failed to do, but seat out those purported cople of tax rolls, knowing that they were erroneous and full of errors. You were Informed by the Assessor that tfie Willamette Pulp fc Paper Company had paid $7556.82 tax more than for which you had given IV credit. The Crown Columbia Pulp ft Paper Com pany had paid $902.50 more tax than for which you had given it credit. The First National Bank of Oregon City had paid $406.24 tax more than you had given It credit for, and the Bank of Ore gon City had paid $717.70 more tax than you had given it credit for, but notwith standing the fact that the Assessor had called your attention to those errors be fore you circulated your roll you aent It out broadcast over this state, knowing It to be erroneous and full of glaring errors. Taxpayers Names Forgotten. I have found, with the assistance of the Assessor, a large number of names of tax payers which you have left off from your purported copy of the rolU whose names appear on the original roll. In looking over your purported copy of the tax roll I find you state that wnue tne Hawley Pulp ft Paper Company paid in 1910 $3584.75 taxes, that under your system their taxes wouia nave oniy Deen if. - xou also state that the Crown Columbia Pulp ft Paper Company paid In 1910 $2562.40 taxes, but under your system it would have paid oniy $19.31. Tou further state that In three items the Willamette Pulp ft Pa per Company paid $4716 taxes, but under single tax it would have paid nothing. These figures given by yourself and other employes of the Fels fund go to enow that you are working In the Interest of the man ufacturer and against the Interests of the home and lot owner, and to show you that my position is correct I would like to call your attention to a few of the many as sessments In Oregon City wherein the own er of town lots has his taxes greatly In creased under your figures, while the rich merchant and manufacturer practically es capes. One Instance Cited. On page 115 of your tax roll I find that Jennie B. Harding paid on her home in 1910 as taxes the sum-of $292.50, and you state that her taxes would be under single tax $493.80. Miss Nan Cochran paid on her lot in Oregon City In 1910 $9, 75, and you state that under single tax she would pav 119.75. Harriet and Louise Cochran paid on two lots In 1910 $22.75, and you state that un der single tax their taxes would have been $42.80, so It can be easl ly seen that you are exempting tne manufacturer and plac ing the entire burden on the land owner. In the first place, you have not made a correct copy of the 1910 assessment roll, as you would like to lead the average citizen to believe, but have changed a great many assessments and In some Instances where people were assessed with an undivided In terest you have charged them with full ownership In the property, and also charged other undivided owners with full ownership In the same property, thereby assessing the same property for the full value to more than one owner. Deception Practiced, He Says. As a matter of fact, every paid employe of the Fels fund is working In the Inter ests of the merchant and manufacturer and are practicing deception upon the public when they state thgt they are working in the interests of the laboring man. I am not basing this statement upon my own opinion, but am taking your own documents as a proof of my assertion, and desire to call your attention now to the pamphlet Is sued by the Joseph Fels Fund Commission containing a record of the business trans acted at the single tax conference held In New York City a short time since. The Joseph Fels Fund Commission was m session and they laid their plana to work on a merchant and manufacturer, showing wherein It would be to their advantage to have single tax. and nowhere did they men tion that single tax would benefit the la borer or farmer. You were present at that conference and on page five of said pamphlet the following appears: "The commission has sent out a quantity of such literature as Is obtainable, and plana aro now under way for the prep aration of a merchants and manufacturers booklet, the object of which la to show that land value taxation means a saving of dol lars actual profit of dollars to merchants and manufacturers." On page 11 of said pamphlet the following I appears: '"The object of which Is to carry conviction to merchants and. manufacturers by showing from official figures of various cities in dixierent states now tne general property tax is a tax upon production and all business, and how merchants and manu facturers will get pocketbook profits from the land value tax." Some Would Bseape You also give a long list of merchants in the latter part of your purported copy of the tax roll, who would absolutely escape taxation under your single tax system. Mr. L. Adams, the largest merchant In Oregon City, In 1910, paid $390 taxes; you say in your single tax roll that he would pay nothing: Mr. H. Aden, a wealthy mer chant at Wilson vllle, paid $93 taxes; you say that he goes "scott free" also under your single tax method, and In fact all of the merchants whose names appear on the tax roll are marked in heavy black type b one of your expert Fela agents, saying, "All would have been exempt from taxation un der county single tax bill," but we find in your same roIJ girls doing clerical work for their livelihood,' with the taxes upon their little homes more than doubled. With our public schools, magazines and daily papers. It seems to me that our cltl sens should be able to decide intelligently upon this question Instead of being har assed by a lot of paid employes of the Fels fund, which. In my estimation, are th most corrupt disturbers that we now have I on the Pacific Coast. ! Under the initiative and referendum, ever legal voter is a part of the great Legisla ture of the state, and if he accepts money for his services and Influence in securing legislation that Is favorable to his employ ers, such as the merchants and manufac turers whom your Fels fund commission states will get pocketbook profits from your system of taxation, is just as corrupt as the member of the State Legislature who accepts money for his services and Influ ence in securing legislation beneficial to his employer.

WILLOW CITY Buy Early Before Railroads Get There And Make the Big Profits Those who bought early ahead of the railroad! in Prince Rupert, Fort George, Edmonton snd other places reaped the bis rewards. In August, 1912, at the Government sale at Prince Rupert, one lot brought $1160 per front foot, and the first fifty minutes of the sale brought $10,000 a minute. Three years ago Prince Rupert was a wil derness, but a few far-sighted peo ple saw the possibilities, bought and made fortunes. The same thing was true of Fort George and Edmonton. and WILLOW CITY offers greater possibilities than Fort George or Edmonton ever offered. The Government owns one-quarter of WILLOW CITY and guarantees the title. No interest; no taxes. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Is rapidly building into WILLOW CITY, and prices are certain to ad vance with its near approach. Don't delay. MAKE ALL THE PROFITS. We have pointed the way.
