Grif fith's, 'The Greatest Thing in the World," at the Liberty Sunday; l"MRniM,IBNI""H""IMHHM!N . i i Bed Time The Beavers Watch the Camper YOU would have laughed to see the young professor fixing his camera at. Alirror pond to take a snapshot of the Beavers at work. He left his tent and went out and stood on the shore of Mirror pond to take the pictures. Hut he couldm' see a single Beaver. And he walked along the banks and looked and looked In vain for a Beaver so he cou'd take his photograph. Now, Beavers are like many people you know they don't wish to have a camera taking snapshots of them every time they go out on the street- And all the Beavers had known that the young professor was near Mirror pond long before he ever saw their" lovely pond. The Beavers had smelled him and heard him and had sent their wire less messages to every Beaver to hide at once. So they were ail hiding in their houses when the young professor was tramp ing around Mirror pond to take their pictures. And Father Beaver said to his family : "Now, we'll fool that strange two-legged ceature who is pok ing his nose all around Mirror pond to tind out our secrets. I guess he'll get tired of his job before he is many days older." And all the Beavers chuckled over their big joke on the young professor. Well, the camera man circled the pond very many times. Then at last he got stuck in the mire in the swamp, and he struggled and struggled to get out, and when at last he got out he was covered with black mire lrom head to foot, and his pretty new tramping suit was a sorry looking sight. The young professor was now tired and hungry, and he started off to his tent to change his clothes and to put on a dry suit. And Father Beaver said : "Now, Tom and Jerry, you both swim out the back Delayed Trains Arrive Portland hotels experienced a rush in the wee, sma' hour of 3 o'clock this morning, when trains due two days ago arrived in the city.

And in a few seconds the Beaver twins were swimming under water, and soon they got to shore and hid in the long grass near the professor's tent. They watched him change his clothes and cook, his supper and then Me down to sleep. And then some funny music came out of his tent and echoed over Mirror pond. It was not a phonograph or a harid organ ; it sounded more like a big bullfrog who was croaking near by as he sat in a flat stone near the water's edge.

(Psf ' I had been informed by the highway deJ partment that th commission naa bought a plant six or .eight months ago from L. N. Day. and that ths plant never had been used but It was being set up for use on the Salem-Aurora job. It was L. Stipp. an Oregon City at torney, who is here as clerk of the con solidation committee, who gave an analysis of the specifications used by the commission in tasking for bids and awarding the contract for the Salem Aurora Job, and brought out his opin ion that the contract price was greatly in excess of what it ought to be. When asked for a remedy, he replied that the only one he knew would be to get a better highway engineer and then for the commission to do the work by force account. "As long as the work is being done by contract, you can't expect to have it done better than it is being done now," he said. He states that"- the members of the highway commission, who are not technical road men, were at the mercy of the highway engineer. "If there is anything wrong It is with the engineer," he said. "I am not saying there is anything wrong. Anyone who has any dealings with en gineers knows that engineering is the trickiest profession there is." Costs Are Compared He compared the cost of laying an iron ater : ipe line in Oregon City and a 'wood pipe line in Medford, where the former laid a distance of 28 miles cost $25,000 leBS than the latter laid a distance of 22 miles, as an illustration. He declared that the specifications prepared by the highway engineer, on which bids were asked for the Salem Aurora job, were more rigid and in flexible than the bltulithic specifica tions. "Bidders could afford to -bid on blt ulithic and pay aj-royalty rather than be held down to the highway engineer's specifications." he said. "A bidder must bid high enough, to protect himself and figure on being 'held down to his specifications," he! con tinued. "Under the highway engineer's specifications the engineer is the whole tlrtiTg. He can break a contractor, by being exactin, or he can let him make any bunch of money by being fenient in his inspections." Says Agreements Not Kept Representative Schuebel read an agreement which was signed by High way Commissioners Benson and Adams at the time the campaign was on for the $6,000,000 road bond issue, and declared that not a single covenant made has been kept by the commission. This agreement was to the effect that the commission would not add anything to a contract for maintenance, would not ask for a 10-year maintenance guar antee, would ask counties to bid on road contracts, would sit with the county courts when road contracts were being let, would have the engineer prepare an estimate of cost of each project, arid, if the bids were higher, the work would Constipation Is the bane of thou sands.
