ASK FOll A TIIIIEK MILL LEVY.
The Salem Hoard of Trade pre
sented pntltliina of about 750 citizens
of Marlon county to the county cora
mlKHlontir'i court Frnilsy afternoon
requesting that body to lovy a three
mill tax for a general fund to build
' ' ,f - ..anrrr.npnt " highways main lines
norctfand south and pant and west
The petition was presented by A. F.
. Hofer, secretary of the Board, who
staled the objects of the meeting. lie
read a letter from Mrs. J. H. Waldo,
f the State Grange who represents
about 1200 acres of land. F. N. Derby
aid the noople demanded better roads
' and the court was favorablo but how
tart and bow to distribute the
Irioney OTer the county. The plan out
lined by Mr. Derby was for the coun
ty court to select five lines out of
Salem and build the same number of
miles on each main line. , Build a
lew miles each year. Build two miles
-on each of five roads and the people
In all directions will be satisfied.
John II. Scott favored tax enough
to build some permanent road each
year. To keep down Jealousy build In
' all directions at once. Tho si Ate was
going to act. A three mill tax would
raise about $100 000. Expend that
Judiciously and the people would not
feel It' These business men present
-were -willing to be taxed and would
uphold the county court.
floo. P. llodgcrs said the people out
fcouth of Balem who had built fine
roads and were willing to , be taxed to
build more roads. The city of Halem
had paid nothing for good county
roads. Ho asked that the court tax
the city of 8alem to build roads out
alde of Salum.
Mr. Miles said the good roads out
outh of Salem were built largely by
jirlvato contribution. Tho building of
few miles each year In not too
homeopathic doses would be a good
thing. There would be no objection
among the people to reasonable ex
penditure for this purpose,
Mr. Orouse said the good roads did
away with bad weather. There must
ae plans and a beginning, an orderly
aystoni, build well, what you do build.
Wm. McGllchrlHt spoko of tlm on-
ouniKennnt given by tin) county to
build the roads south. No mud would
t'arry a load blugor thun wiis nos-
nlbln on the worst pint of It. Only
b single coating of roads would do
a great deal of good. Ah soon as a

where roads were Improved. Mo
wauled oilier sections Improved ho
Ihnt his taxes would come down. The
uutinproved property v,ould go up In
valuo and pay Its share of taxes.
Alex I.nFolli'tte said for every dol
lar spent for good roads by taxing his
Dioporty ho would get twu dollars
back.
0. Stols said If property values
went np levies would come down, lie
tsvored spending $100,000 a year for
Uu years. A farm of 200 acres R
wiles out would Increase In vlue
firty percent by building a good
macadam road to it. If the county
would put up a sum of $100,000, as
tnuch more would be spent by the
property owners. The share paid by
the city of Salem would be a donation
to the country. Salem had one-third
f the wealth of the county and the
tithr two-thirds of the county would

Max Duren said all were In favor
til pood roads. The only difference
was as to details. There were large
realesUte do-J vm toot to buy lands

tions showt , I renorat lutereet.
J. I. Stockton said be was willing

business men felt that way. AH they

TJT I 1 ,,ard headaches. Dizzy, sick

the great majority are all due to constipation. Anything

! have the money spent where it would
do the most good.
J. W, McKlnney said his neighbor
hood was anxious to build good roads,
lie had refused In the absence of a
system to donate to road work for
the past ten years. But his district
lied now voted a special road tax.
The dlHtrlcts thnt. built g(.nd ronds
bad increased In value CO to 100 per
cent. The loss In the long hall over
a bad road was Incalculable, to say
nothing of the bettor conditions of
home life. I lo w anted to see a good
macadam road from Aurora to Jef
ferson. Kstubllsh a system and let
us have an annual tax for good roads.
F. G. Deckahack said If the people
of tho cities were willing to pay this
three mill tax the people of the
country should not object.
Mr. Graham said he was a newcomer
and had travelled a great deal. He
had never kicked on being asscsHed
(or a public Improvement. Adopt a
policy not a project. In looking over
torrltory to take people Into we never
took them over a bad road. We looked
for the best roads. We must build a
few main highways well.
Geo. Swegle talked for a liberal
levy for roads. Half of the districts
had levied three to fire mills each.
All were willing to be taxed If they
got valuo received.
Col. Hofer said If a levy was mada
and four or five permanent roads
started, only one or two should start
from Salem. All should not start
from Salem. Start one from Jeffer
son, one from Stayton, one from Sll
verton, one from Aurora. That
would be more fair.
Goo. C. Will said not a taxpayer
would lose a cent on taxes paid for
building permanent roads. For every
dollar he paid he would get back ten
dollars. He would pay all that was
reasonable and do it cheerfully.
. Geo. F. Rodgers made, the point that
me state Highway dim would pass
and tho county .world lose its share
of that sum. The Hoard of Trade had
met recently with the heads of four
great state Institutions who were
willing to do all the work If the
county court would furnish tho ma
chinery to crush the rock to build a
fine boulevard connecting those In
stitutions. Mr. East of the Salem State Dank
& Trust Company, spoke for good
ronds. He was here seven years ago
and the town and the country was Dot
Inviting. J .ant year he came again
and found things dlfferont. He found
pavements and good roads. It was
development that attracted people
Judge Dushey believed the time had
arrived for some permanent highways.
Ho thought tho abutting property that
was most benefited should pay Us
ratable enure more than the mere
tax. He favored dividing the county
Into some large districts and then
giving each district Its share to ex
pettl on the main ronds In that dis
trict. The problem was to get ma
terials and labor to build tho roiuls.
The court had encouraged local
dUtrlcts to make special levies. Hut
about half the districts would not
vote a special tax. Some districts
built rock ronds nnd still levied their
special taxes. He was coining to op
pose Hpeclal levies and believed the
county court must make tho levy.
Ho had not encouraged any special
levies this year. If the people Rot
good roads they did not mind the tax.
Yamhill was levying six mills this
year, and Tolk county four mills. The
problem was to got material. The
county could be divided Into districts
and start work In each district.
Clackamas has made a road levy of
eight mills. He was not enthusiastic
about a state highway system. A
gofd county system was much bet
ter in hln opinion. If the state would
establish a rock crushing plant In
this county that would expedite the
matter. He was Jn hopes they would
and they ought to be ready for that.
He had made up his mind that the
people wanted better roads. It was
necessary to adopt a system some
time. It should be started right and
much would depend on Installing the
system. We must not Btart with too
much style or a great expense scat
tered over too much territory, Un
less the people were back of It, as
they were In other counties, He
would not advise a three mill tax. An
, hundred thousand dollars wisely ex
pended would not be too much. Not
all who talked good roads lost money
by It. They were none the poorer for
it.

The manager of the O. A. C. basket
ball team sent word yesterday that he
wished to postpone the game sched
ule with Willamette to be played in
Corvallls tonight. This arrangement
mot the heartiest approval of the lo
cal manager, because the Willamette
team Is In poor condition at this
time. Mcltae, the strongest per
former, Is affected slightly with
grippe and Captain Mclntyro Is not
feeling will. Steelhammer has a
spruilried ankle, and has been unable
to practli e for two nights. The game
will bo pulled ofT at some later date.
Tho Willamette Unlevrslty Law
College Inst night, In a joint meeting
of tho junior and senior law classes,
decided to debate the University of
Oregon Law School, of Portland.
Last year the local law college sent a
team of thrfa men to Portland and
defeated the Oregon law school by a
score of 3 to 0.
, The University of Idaho has also
requested a chance to meet the Wil
lamette team.
If the debate with the University
of Oregon law school Is well support
old li is expected that next year tho
colloge will meet both Idaho and
Washington.
It Is believed that the same thing
can be done rjgaln this year, since
the collego here has some splendid
new material, besides Eakln and Gra
ham, who were on the team last year.
Mott, of McMlnnvllle; Wilson, of
Portland, and O'Connor, of Portland,
will probably make the strongest bd
for first place among the numbers of
tho Junior clnts.
The Phllldorlan Literary Society,
In the meeting last Wednesday even
ing, decided to convert the society,
for the time being, Into the Honor
able Senate of the State; of Oregon.
The complete organization of the
augiiBt body will occur next Wednes
day evening. The candidates for
president of the senate; are on the as
sembly ticket, Mr McCain, of Ma
rlon, and Mr. Wilson, of Multnomah;
anti-assembly, Mr. DeLong, of Coos.
The body will be divided Into Dem
ocratic and Republican factions, and
the usual proceexlure which prevails
In the actual senato will take plaix.
Clerks will bo appointed and b'lls
will be Introduced and acted upon.
This promises to be decidedly Inter
esting, from the Interest that is be
ing shown by the various members.
Dr. Sweetland, athletic, director at
the University, Bpoke to the students
in the chapel yesterday morning, and
censured the girls of the achool con

SEWER WORK
IS STOPPED BY
THE COMMITTEE
The sewer committee, composed of
Aldermen Durbtn, Sauter and Hucke
steln. has come to the conclusion to
order all work on city sewer contracts
stopped, on account of non-compliance
with the specifications In con
struction. , This will cause some de
lay, but the new city government 1s
eonductlng some Invent lgat ions, and
probably will take time to get at the
faets, and make a report. The mat
ter will come up Monday night The
wet weather has made it Impossible
to lay the sewer and drain pipes in a
dry and complete ditch, without water
running In at the Joints where the
concrete should set solidly before any
water goes through. The commit
tee clrJm It Is too wet to lay the sew
ers properly, and they prefer to have
some delay to seeing poor work done.
As Chairman Durbin oxpr8od It:
"We want to see that for every dol

get one hundred cents worth of work
nnd material. It is also stated that I

Dear Sir:
I am obliged to get some one -

my best farms, as the present ;
tenant is unfit to handle it, and -
If you have a man to locate,
that Is able to handle it, I will :
sell It at a bargain as my health '
will not permit of my worrying
with so many tenants.
Now this Is one of my favor
ite properties, and I built an
.
8-rooni bungalow
house and
quite a, large barn since last
September, and we have In
about 90 acres o grain, sowed
last fall. There Is about 180
acres In cultivation and the
balance can be put in. At pres-
' i -
cnt the 60 uncultivated is one
f of the finest pastures In the
state. I thave on the place
abaut all (the farm implements
needed, bought aew last fall
and will let crop and all imple
ments' go for $70 per acre, or
the land at $67.50, if sold right
away, within the next 10 days.
If not. I will install a new man
and then it is not for sale. I
can sell to local man but he
wants payments and continued
too long. But I would give
reasonable terms. A man here
well posted, says it Is the
greatest bargain he knows of.
You need not hesitate to show
it, for it will bear inspection.
