SALEM WILL GREET
ROAD WITH HOLIDAY
Entry of Portland, Eugene &
Eastern Marks New Era
for State Capital.
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.

DICK GIVES REPLY
U'Ren Tax Roll Replete With
Errors, Alleged.
SCATHING ANSWER ISSUED
"I Do Not Desire to Debate Single
Tax Question With Anyone Who
Is Working Under Salary."
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.

The Hotel Multnomah is the
first to take np this popular en
tertainment during afternoon
teas.
The De Lory Trio has been en
gaged to furnish music in the
Hotel JIultnomah Tearoom every

ginning Tuesday, October 15.
Monsieur De Lory, a thorough

any of the guests, giving them
an opportunity to practice and

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.
