THURSDAT, FEBRUARY 12, 1911. : j! oALtli TO JOIN CAPITAL CITY Movement on Foot and favored by Many Residents of Both Places, According to Attorney, SLOGAN IS SELECTED BY 8ALEM COMMERCIAL CLUB 'In the West, Balem Best" Is Voted Satisfactory and Will Be Used In Boosting From Now On. According to Attorney Ernest Blue, the well known local booster, who re sides across the river in West Balem, a move is now on foot to annex the prosperous little community over the steel bridge with the capital city prop er. Attorney Blue addressed the mem bers of the promotion department of the commercial club at the meeting held last night and placed a proposition be fore them, which, if carried out, will eventually result in Wost Salem being made a part of this city. Attorney Blue said that all that is iieedod now is an up-to-date bridge across the Willamotto to connect Wost Salem with Salem permanently. He de clared that the people of West Salem are desirous of joining hands with the city and that in the event a decent bridgo is erected between the two points that they will take steps to annex thorn sclves with their big sister across the river. The speaker condemned the wagon bridge in terms not at all un certain. Ho said that the bridgo is nothing more than a trembling, totter ing mass of steel and that unless the two counties got busy within a com paratively short time, the structure will be lying in the river and ferry boats will have to be placed in commission in order to keep the west sido of the city in communication with the east. President Rodgnrs informed the mem bors that the board of governors has received advices to the effoct that the county courts of Marion and Polk coun ties have taken favorable consideration of the club's request to have the steel bridge examined and that they will bold a conference with tho state high way engineer within a short time and endeavor to havo that official make a thorough Inspection o' tho bridgo.

This proposition was considered to bo one of the finest ever made to tho board of governors in tho advertising line and Iiov. Marshall received tho sincoro thanks for his offer by every member prcsont and was assured that tho opportunity would be takon ad vantage of immediately. Selects Slogan. Miss Teddy Wesley, of LaGrand, Or., received the honors lust night when tho prize winner in the slogan contest is announced.

D. Dillon, of Portland, won fourth prize with tho slogan of "Seek Success in Salem." More Boost Flans. That the promotion department should get busy more than ever now wiis the opinion of ljot Pearco, the well knowu local merchant who was called upon to talk last night.

ACID STOMACHS ARE DANGEROUS Common Sense Advice By a Distin guished Specialist. "Acid" stomachs are dangerous be cause acid Irritates and Inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, thus hin dering and preventing the proper action of the stoniuch anil leading to probably nine tenths of the cases of stomach trouble from which people suffer. Or dinary medicines and medicinal treat ments are useless lu such cases, for they leave the source of trouble, the acid in the stomach, as dangerous as ever. Tho acid must be neutralised, aud its form ation prevented, and the best thing for this purpose is teaspoonful of bistira ted magnesia, a simple antacid, taken in a littlo warm or cold water after eating, which not only neutralir.es the acid, but also prevents tho fermenta tion from which acidity Is developed. Foods which ordinarily cause greatest distress may bo eaten with Impunity it the meal is fulluwed with a little bis lilted ii'Smicsia, which esn be obtained from any druggist, and should always be kept handy.

COYOTE ATTACKS BOY BUT IS KILLED WITH CLUB Thirty Hogs in Baier Valley, Not Far From Baker City, Bitten and Boy Bitten By Cow Treated. UNITED PRESS LI1HID WIBX. Baker, Or., Feb. 12. Dr. F. T. Notz, county stock inspector, yesterday re ceived a report from Dr. Calvin S. White, state health officer, at Port land, that the brains of a dog and a cow which had been sent by Dr. Notz for examination showed ncgri bodies in largo quantities, indicating without a doubt that these were both cases of hydrophobia. The brain of the dog was from an animal which had bitten several cattle and other dogs in the Burnt River country, and tho brain of the cow was from one of soveral ani mals which had been bitten at Sparta, in an entirely different part of Baker county. The city commisisouers today passed a strict ordinance requiring muzzling and ordering every dog Bhot which is not muzzled within five days. Several stores have sent telegraphic orders for muzzles to Portland houses. A report from North Powder was received yesterday that a boy driving along a country road at the Oliver ranch was attacked by a coyote. The apparently infuriated beast first fought and bit the Oliver boy's dog, and when the boy got down from the wagon at tacked the boy. Young Oliver picked up a club aud killed the animal, which did not bite him. The dog was killed today. ... A report that more than 30 hogs have been bitten in the Baker valley, with in a few miles of the city, reached here Inst night. Dr. Notz also has reports that house cats, dogs, hogs and cattle have suffered seriously in the Upper Burnt River country. , Perle Wright, a son of a rancher of Sparta, yesterday began taking the Pas teur treatment from serum obtained by telegraph from Portland. The youth was bitten by a dog which bit the same cow which later died of hydrophobia and in the brains of which Dr. White today reported had been found large negri bodies, indicating rabies. OPEN FORUM. OUR BONDED DEBT. Editor Capital Journal: From a cir cular recently issued in Seattle it ap pcam that, whilo the population of that city and county increased !M! per cent in ten years, tho assessed valuation of property increased 293 per cent, and the cost, of government increased 470 per cent. That is, the cost of government increased 470 per cent. That is, tho cost of government increased ono aud one half times fnstor than tho value of property, and five times faster than tho growth of population. Seattle probably fairly represents the other coast cities. The tax levy there is. 4.4 per cent on a 45 per cent assessment. In Salem tho levy ib 3.4 per cent on 100 per cent assessment, so thnt our taxes are about one-third higher thun in Seattle. Tho bonded debt of Seattle is 10 per cent of tho value, and onofifth of the taxes go to interest on bonds. In Sa lem tho bonded debt, I believe, is 10 per cent, and, with the road bonds add ed, will be 1 2 1 a per cent. Of course, if we exjiect our children to repudiute our debts, nib off the slate and take a fair start for themselves, we might sell all tho bonds there is mar ket for; but even then we punish our selves with tho interest on a 12'i per cent bonded debt, added to all tho oth er tuxes, whilo the cost of government keeps on running five times faster than population. It is not at all encourag ing to tho struggling taxpayer, nor Is it inviting to the average Investor. L. D. RATLIFF. WOMAN IS CANDIDATE. united russs mused wiri Hurlingnme, Col., Feb. 12.

University of Oregon Eugene, Feb. 12 Saddened by contemplation of 33 fel low studonts departing for hame. Uni versity of Oregon men and women are J sottling down today to a semester of work that seems likely to be uncommon ly faithful. The resolutions heard up on every hand aro all for hard work. at any rate, and students say it will ' be many semesters before another such j cleanup has to be made bv the faculty. ! Of 700 students taking examinations on tho campus, a great number was failed or conditioned in from two to six hours of work but succeeded in pass ing enough hours to remain in college. A fresh in a n must mnko eight or more hours) other classes must make nine or more hours. Most of thoBe getting "P. V or conditions in a certain sub ject, consequently, made hours enough in other subjects to bo safe. Thoso making less than tho required eight or nine hours, numbered 40, most of them second or third year students. Freshmen failing totaled only 7 but many others lost hours. Of the 40 "fluukers" only 7 were re-instatcd. The story of "flunks" and condi tions is by no menus the only one to go from the university this semester, however. That rare distinction, an "All II" card, went to one young wo man, Miss Bculuh Stcbno, a junior. An "All H" card means honors in every subject, and Miss Stebno was carrying 17 hours. Miss Anna Ncufeld of Port land . received "H" in 12 hours and "S" (superior) in five with no grade below "S." Miss Maude Mastick, of Portland received eight hours of "H" and 10 hours of "S." Miss Neufeld finished college with this examination; Miss Mastick is a senior, Tho best showing among freshmen was made by a Baker, Oregon boy, Frederick E. Melzer. Ho mado "II" in 15 hours and "M" (medium) in oue. His honors wore In subjects con sidered among the most difficult: Ad vanced algebra, Greek, English com position, and chemistry; the "M" was in practical ethics. Kxaminntion were little harder than usual this year but the gradual stiffen ing of the Oregon standard resulted in vloter marking and in a disposition among tho faculty to send homo any student who failed to make his hours, unless unusual cause could bo shown. Fifty new students have entered for the second semester, the largest second remoter crowd in years. The number i believed to herald another big fresh man clnsR next foil. FAVORABLE TO BERRY.
