To m.ikn i. ters worse, Miss Clark is such an in nocent looking little soul that she ev, en receives a handsome medal f mm the Truth society for her emulatior; of George Washington. Needless to say she nearly exDires with mirtK during the presentation of the medal.

No eigns have been posted on the Polk county roads to notify travelers that the Polk-Marion bridge has been closed. It has been suggested that signs should be plaeed at Oregon City, Newber? and at the wheatlnn.l ferry notifying travelers of the clos ing of the bridge, thus saving thorn the inconvenience of driving here to find no means of crossing. A si?n notifying travelers that the bridgt has been closed might also be of con venience to those traveling from the south, posted at Halls Ferry. The chances are that it would take fully six weeks to plank the railroad biirigt if the Southern Pacific gives its con sent. As there are several legal points to be considered the probabilities are that the legal department of the road as well as the engineering depart ment is working on the proposition. HARRY R.
