the county courts of sMarion and Polk
counties are directed to proceed with
the construction of aj bridge over the
Willamette river at Salem or appear in
court at noon March $7 to show cause
why they have not done so.
In this manner, the long-drawn-out
Marlon-Polk county bridge controversy
is being brought to a head. D. A. White
and Pinckney Bros, are plaintiffs in
the mandamus proceedings. They are
represented by Attorneys McNary &

It Is contended that a bridge is a

" Owing to Lumber Business There.
J Baker. Or.. March 7. Removal of
the 'office of the Whitman national
forest from Sumpter to Baker will
start this week, the office recently
leased here having been remodeled and
, made ready for occupancy,
z The office has been located at Sump
. t.er ever since the forest reserve sys
i tern was Inaugurated and the change is
made for the' reason that the greater
part, of the business now consists in
the sale of lumber, and Baker is the
place where the business has to be
handled in any event, as there are no
tanking facilities In Sumpter.
The change of location brings to
Tlaker two national forest offices,
headquarters of the Minam reserve
having been maintained here for sev

supervisor.
Both counties have raised money for
