NO BRIDGE DECISION REACHED.
County Courts Still Investigating
Two Types of Bridges.
Neither Polk nor Marion county
has swerved from their favorite type
of bridge. Investigations are pro
ceeding in a friendly way but there
is little hope of agreement unless
the Marion county court concludes
that the concrete bridge should be
built. Thev are taking a longer
breathing spell than usual this time
as the next meeting is slated for a
week from Saturday.
Judge Kirkpatrick was quoted in
error iast Friday by this paper as not
favoring a steel bridge encased in
concrete. He favors the steel-encased-in-cement
bridge and prefers
a high level bridge, although the lat
ter distinction is not likely to prove
a bone of serious contention. They
are now determining whether the riv
er will stand a concrete structure at
the Center street site.
It is understood that the commit
tee from the Commercial club ap
pointed to arrange for the planking
of the Jbridge can go ahead with
building the 800 feet approach on the
Polk county side and the plunking
but the railway officials will give no
permission- to use the bridge until
the two county courts have signed a
contract for a new bridge. Hence.
everything remains in "status quo.

"Traveling Salesman" Tonight.
Frank Mclntyre, one of the fore
most comedians on the stage, makes
his motion picture debut ia the Fa
mous Players adaptation of his best
known success, "The Traveling
Salesman," in which he toured the
country for three seasons. It is an
interesting coincidence that Mr. Mc
lntyre 's first appearance on the
screen should be made in an adapta
tion of the play in which he scared
his first great success.
"The Traveling Salesman" is the
Paramount Picture at the Orpheum
theatre tonight and tomorrow. It is
a remarkable mixture of comedy and
drama, in which this jovial comedian
is thoroughly at home, having play
ed in every known form of theatrical
presentation from farce and musical
comedy to heavy dramas. Mclntyre
himself has traveled as much as the
average salesman in his tours all over
the country, and he plays the part
with an understanding that gives his
performance a complete reality.
