PADDING
OF CENSUS
csrntD nug LiiStD wiwt.l
Tacoma, Wash., May i5.The
mass of evidence which the depart
ment of justice have been accumu
lating concerning alleged crooked
work in the taking of Tacoma's 1910
census was placed betpre the feder
al grand Jury, which met In the fed
eral building here today.
The jury. It is understood, will de
vote the greater portion of Its time
to an Investigation of the alleged pad
ding In connection with the count
taken more than a year ago. The In
formation gained by William A. Hunt
special supervisor of the census dur
ing the recount which was made, has
been further extended by the Inquir
ies made by a number of secret ser
vice officials, who have been calling
on families all over the city to learn
whether or not they had lived at their
present address on April 1, 1910.
Aside from the federal census
probe, there will be the usual number
of smuggling cases to be heard, and
other matters of like nature to be
presented to the grand jury.

FAMOUS OLD
BUILDING
IS BURNED

According to advices received here
Saturday evening the St. Paul con
vent, located nine miles north from
here was burned to the ground on
the day before.
Just how the fire originated seems
to be a mystery, but when it was dis
covered it was on the top floor, and
though the institution was equipped
with a good fire apparatus, the flames

Who came with the axe and plow
Their flags, the wagon's canvas tops
And "to win," their only vow.

Turning their faces toward the' West
And the land where dreams come

Land where the Red man wandered

Rich as the fields of Eden were,
When fresh from the hand of God,
An Emerald world, a turquoise sky,
A hundred amethyst streams;

BOND ISSUE
FOR BRIDGES
UNPOPULAR
Salem la In a serious predicament
in regard to some very much needed
bridges. By a sudden freshet last
winter the city lost the bridges on
its principal streets, and there is a
universal demand that the bridees be
rebuilt. A proposed bond tan, a nf
$50,000 of 5 per cent bonds was vot
ed down, the people having no confi
dence in the proposed plan of expen
diture. The committee In charge of
the matter next submitted a bond is
sue of $60,000 at 6 per cent, provid
ing for additional bridges, the loca
tion of which is unknown to the peo
ple. At that high rate of Interest
the bonds ought to sell for a large
premium. Many business men are op
posing this second bond Issue on The
ground that it was not fairly and
frankly placed before the people, and
they do not consider that it has been
put before them fairly. Tha senti
ment of the people generally Is
against the bond issue in the manner
in which it was proposed. There is
a- feeling on the part of business men
to uphold) any good work done) by the
mayor, and to submit policies of pro
gress on broad lines, and when un
dertaken In an open-handel manner
that citizens generally can under
stand. No reason has ever been giv
en for adding ten per cent to the
amount of the bonds, and one per
cent to the rate of interest. The peo
ple cannot understand what secret
artifice Is back of it, or why It was
done.

Averts Awful Tragedy.
Timely advice given Mrs. C. Wil
loughby, of Marengo, Wis., (R. No. 1)
prevented a dreadful tragedy and
saved two lives. Doctors bad said
her frightful cough was a "consump

help her. After many remedies
failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr.
King's New Discovery. "I have been
using it for some time," she wrote,
"and the awful cough has almost
gone. It also saved my little boy
when taken with a severe bronchial
trouble." This matchles.i medicine
has no equal for throat and lung
troubles. Price 50 cents and $1.00.

Saved the People of Salem by
the Manufacture in This City
of Cement Sewer Pipe.
Less than one year ago, before the
manufacture of cement sewer pipe
was begun In Salem by the Salem
8ewer Pipe Co., salt glazed clay bIx
lnch sewer pipe retailed to consum
ers at 30 cents per foot, today la sold
at 22 cents. The reduction In price
Is due entirely to the establishment
of the 8alem Sewer Pipe Co, In Sa
lem. It has been estimated that In
Salem In the next two years there
will be at least 2000 homes to be con
nected with sewers, with an average
of 100 feet per house. Now at the
saving of S cents per foot,
18.00 per hundred feet, would
make a saving of $16,000 to the peo
ple of Salem, If they were go'ng to
use the six-Inch Bait glazed clay pipe,
but all the people are not going to
do It. This Is proven by the sales
made by the Salem Sewer Pipe Co.,
who sell both clay and cement. Their
sale sare more than ten of cement to
one of clay. We solicit your, pat
ronage, will save you still more mon
ey and will give you just as service
able pipe, stronger and last longer.
