The false work for the remain ing spans is now about completed. An incident of the operations yester day afternoon was the blasting out of one of the old cement piers. One of the ' pneumatic riveters was uti lized as a drill with which to perfor ate the base of the column, and at frequent . Intervals the traffic over the bridge , was stopped while the charges of giant powder were fired. The splash that follows the plunge of a sMrfoot column of cement into the rlvr"may be imagined but hard ly described.

S.wiU be represented by Max Thelan of the California commission. In a telegram to McAdoo the Oregon commission calls attention to the sparsely settled condition Of Oregon compared with central freight association territory and asserts that because of the lesser density of traffic - rates in ' Oregon are much higher than in the more thickly settled states. ! The commis sion wired Mr. Thelan notifying him that he has been selected to repre sent the Oregon commission. The message to Mr. McAdoo follows: "You will no doubt be Inundated with protests from shippers in all parts of the country setting forth various aiguments why their partic ular interests should be exempted from the 25 per cent increase, or more leniently dealt with. We have b,een requested to join in these but have refrained from doing so ana have relegated Max Thelen. of the California commission, who Is famil iar with conditions In this territory to present the views of oxlr respective commissions at the conference to be held on June 5. May we be permit ted to advance the statement that this country is sparsely settled and that owing to the lesser density of traffic, rates are fauch higher in Oregon than in C. F. A. territory. First class rate in Oregon is 91 cents for 300 miles while between Cinci- natl and Chicago, about the same dis tance, the first class rate is 45 cents It requires no argument to proce that the 25 per cent advance will be a greater burden to the people of Ore gon than the same percentage of ad vance in the eastern territory. This state is a large produce of raw ma terials, while In the east the finish ed product is manufactured, and yet they have much lower rates. We re alize that your task is stupendous. but feel confident that you will act to the best of your ability so that no part of this great country shall bear more than its Just proportion of the burden entailed by the cataclysm which prevails in Europe."

Cream is worth more than milk and when part of the cream Is removal the consumer is de frauded. It Is an unusual thing for a cow of any breed to give milk with less than 3 per cent of hutterfat and the majority do much better than this. The specific gravity reveals the removal of solids, which is cream, and the amount of water or skim milk that has been added. Clean milk can only be produced by the most painstaking methods in handling. As some women are Just naturally good housekeepers, so some dairymen are naturally cleanly in their habits of handling milk. lastly, if milk is to keep well and be perfectly satisfactory, it must be kept cold from the time it comes from the cow until it is consumed.

Several women are expected to enlist from this city, as the northwest territory. Including Oregon, Idaho, Washington and Alas ka, has a quota of 150. Later calls will be made for nurses aids, but this will only accomodate a limited number of Inexperienced wo men, who will be expected to do much of the heavier work in the hospitals. Lack of first aid classes in Salem this year means that practically no one here has had any training. It does not appear likely that any grad uate nurses will make application, but several school girls and others may decided to enter the nursing schools.
