Provision has been made to take care of 300 children. R. E. Eakin, heading the Elks committee with It. B. Boise, Rob ert Cole, and Ensign Pitt of the Salvation Army, have had their hfeads together for the past two weks thinking up ways and means ot making this the merriest Christmas of all to Salem's young citizens. Today Mrs. Pitt and Robert Cole ot the Elks committee, made a purchase of toys rnnning into sev eral hundreds of dollars.

Aside from the bridge confer ence, the main part of the day waa devoted to hearing delega tions from several parts of the state. Josephine county asked; that the road to the Oregon caves j be widened, as part of the high way is now too narrow to handle the traffic during the sumuer. Lake county was promised that in 1927 the -commission will ad vertise for construction of 10 miles north of Paisley, reaching to White Hill. " After a month's deliberation, the commission decided that the best location for the Springfield bridge across the Willamette river is on Main street of that city. A request from Crook county to complete the road from Bear val ley to a connection with the cen tral Oregon highway was taken under consideration. The distance is 14 miles. No action was taken, pending further investigation of a request to construct the central Oregon highway from Burns to the east line of Harney county. Only one contract was awarded today, this for the grading of 10.69 miles of the Redwood high way from Hayes' Hill to Shattuck Creek. The job went to Washburn and Hall for 1119,590. A proposal was made to illumi nate the main highways of the state for $50 a month per mile, but the advocates of the plan were advised that the idea was pre mature.
