Work on the new line, which 13 to tap the " huge timber Btands in eastern Linn county, will be pushed rapidl ahead. Turner said, once the cer tificate Is obtained from the inter state commission. The project already outlined embraces 68.8 miles of road, a good portion of which will be of standard)' construction, between Al bany and Foster and Cascadia, Ore., by way of Lebanon and Sweet Home. Four branches have been projected; and a fifth surveyed: The main line as mapped by the surveyors cost about jl. 000, 000 and the branch lines probabl) $750,000 more. The length of the road may not be as great as the line now surveyed however. Be tween Albany and Lebanon the new line would closely parallel an existing Southern racific line. No one familiar with such affairs would be greatly surprised were the interstate commerce commis sion dictate that construction be gin at Lebanon Instead of Albany. Application of the logging road company for permission to build was filed with the state and inter state commissions on February 28. The timber to be directly tapped exceeds 20.000.000,000 feet, and out great extension of lines as still more-might be bed. wit fa proposed.

Prof. John Straub, dean (enter itis) of men at the University of Oregon, has served that institu ion for 50 years. S And he Is one of the youngest nen in spirit on the campus there. He is on duty every day, with his famous smile and the twinkle of 'tis eyes that the generations of tudents have known for half a entury, and still 'know. V V V A Time was when John Stranb taught seven different subjects in the university everything from trigonometry to French. And German. He learned German at his mother's knee; though he was born in Philadelphia. What a fund of information Dean Staub has gathered all these years; what memories of the old laye and the new days, of the raw freshmen who have been greeted on coming and the sage seniors who have been speeded on their joint. Dean Straub has loved them all. and in turn has been loved and epected by every one. He Is still straight as an arrow; full of pep and vigor and hope and good will. He Is one of the grand old men of Oregon. But no one regards him as old who knows him well, and he lives on Joyously like the youngster he has ap peared for 50 years.

DELAYING VOTE ON CITY MANAGER PLAN FAVORED (Continued on Ml 3.) charter before filing It for the ! election. Then if the cnarter is placed on the ballot, the public will have SO days in which to become familiar with it. That might be consider ed sufficient time, but in view of the misconceptions that have al ready arisen, it is certainly none too much. Safeguards Ample It is reported, for instance, that the city manager would have al most autocratic power; for in stance, to fixe the salaries of sub ordinate employes. This is not true; the charter says that the manager shall fix these salaries, subject to the approval of the council. As a matter of fact, the mana ger's powers are in every way safeguarded against abuse; es pecially in the provision that he shall be chosen for no definite period, but may be removed by the vote of three members of the council at any time. He is en titled to a hearing if removed, but the council's subsequent decision is final. Prejmlice Observed In this, respect the charter can scarcely be criticized adversely, but there to certain to be some prejudice against entrusting the entire business of the' city to one officer, and a thorough campaign of education will be necessary to remove this objection, if it ever is removed. The manager plan works admirably in nearly every case where it is adopted; but Salem people will have to be convinced of this, and they will not be con vinced, over night. One other objection to placing the charter revision ou 4he ballot is the question that has been raised as to the legality of the fil ing 30 days before the election. This question may presumably be settled by securing competent legal opinion, but that should be done before the situation becomes hopelessly involved. - The proposed charter provides that It shall go Into effect on Jan uary 1 following its adoption, so that a vote in November would cause ft to be put in operation as wired Is it caused by overwork either mental or physical or is it due to a condition of the system known as "over acidity"? , Scientists claim the latter cause to be largely responsible for lack of endurance, and emphasize the vital importance 4 of maintaining the "Chemical Balance" that margin by which alkaU exceeds acid in the blood. .
