TWO THE DAILY CAPITAL JOt RNAL, SALEM, OREOON. THURSDAY, FEB. 10, 1916. STATE ENGINEERiTO GIVE ADVICE ONLY IN BRIDGE MATTER If State's Plans Are Rejected Counties Will Pay $1000 . for Other Plans The Marion and Polk county courts and the board of viewers handling the Snter-county bridge matters have not rejected all of the plans and sketches submitted under the competitive lan of the courts. Nor is it certain that all of the plans submitted by outside engineers will be rejected in case the Plate submits full plans for the bridge according to a member of the board of viewers today. It wag stated, how ever, that the courts and the board of viewers were not entirely satisfied with 'iny of the plans sent in by the engineers and it wag only to secure the best possible construction that aid was solicited from the state engineering de partment. If one of the plans already in the bands of the viewers is adopted the rounties will pay $1000 for the plan or if the state highway engineers modify one of the plans now in the hands of the viewers the county will pay the engineer who first Biibuiittcd tiie plan the $1000 as advertised. The fact that the state engineering department has been authorized to aid in the work of erecting the bridge does not mean that the stnte is to enter in to tho contracting business hut simply lhat the state engineers will bo con Mil led in an advisory capacity by the county courts on all bridge mutters where their advice is necessary. The following is tho order that was issued by the commission to State Kn pineer Lewis relative to the petition of the board of viewers and the county courts for assistance: "Owing to prior demnds there arc no funds available in the state road fund for the construction of said bridge and tho commission is unnblo to set aside any money for the construction of a bridge on the capital highway over the Willamette river at Salem. "It appearing advisable, however, that the existing bridge should be Te ldaced in tho nenr future, the state highway commission is desirous of co operating with the county courts of Marion and l'olk counties insofar as possible, and to that end hereby di rects the state engineer to prep.ire jdans and specifications for such bridge and to supervise construction thereof. "It being understood that the eon tract for the construction of this bridgo will be let by tho counties who will as sume all liabilities incident to the con struction 01 the same under the super intendence of tho state engineer, whoso cervices are hereby loaned to the coun ties for that purpose. The Btate en gineer is hereby directed to proceed with such work, utilizing any funds trailable from allotments heretofore niado for the bridge department." famous movie star condemns curling iron Little Mary Pickford, whose prettv eurly locks have been so much admired writes that she has never used the curl ing iron. Khe fails to see the wisdom of burning the life out of the hair. That the honted iron is ruinous to the liair is being more and more appreciat ed. Many are discarding this instru ment of torture in fnvnr of plain liquid ailmorine. This is not only harmless Iiut is really beueficinl 0' the hair. Instead of giving one's tresses a burnt nut, lifeless nppeurnnce, it gives them a bright lustre, and the curlincss looks altogether natural. It is a simple thing to procure a few ounces of liquid sil inerine from the druggist and applv n little at night with a clenn tooth brush. The hair should he moistened the full length, from rook to tip. The beautiful wavy effect upon arising is agreeably aurprising. 111. L.

The Automobile Trail Biasing asso ciation, incorporated, is represented in the city today by A. L. Meigs, of Min neapolis, Minn. He will have a confer ence with the hoard of directors of the Commercial club and endeavor to inter est them in his plan of trail blaxing. Mr. Meigs, who is president of this as sociation, claims that the majority of the auto tourists going" south from Portland, went by way of the Colum bia highway and south through central Oregon. These same tourists would probably have driven south through the Willamette valley if the trail had been proicrly blazed. The trail has already been properly blazed from Spokane to Tort laud, but no w ork has been done this way. It is the business of Mr. Meigs to interest the Commercial elub ia his association, that the route may be properly narked, malting traveling easier for the average niotorman, o Here Is a story that was not told for publication. It is just a plain recital of facts A young married couple were preparing to furnish their house, and had decided that it would he econ omical to buy of a mail order bouse But just to show their patriotism, they ; decided to at least look in at some of ! the furniture Mores and post up a lit tle en prices to see how much they were heating the game ordering from a catalog. But wonderful to relate, the exact chair they had pirked on in the catalog, was offered at the ?amc j price at one store, aud at another, the tabic that just suited them beautifully described in the catalog, was found to be 35 cents cheaper in Salvm. And the , linoleum prices of the Salem house and i the catalog were exactly the same. This story is not from tho page of fiction, , but is an absolute fact and it happened right here in fSalem. The furniture man is of the opinion that it would . happen more often in Salem if those 1 w ho hope to save mowy by ordering through tho mails, wouid bring their catalog to the furniture men and then : talk price.
