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.

Naturally we had to buy some things in larger
quantities.
You know how people's tastes differ how one
likes this, another that. So we bought to please
everybody and we succeeded. That meant buy
ing more of some things than we actually need
ed, just to offer our trade a wider variety.
That's the Reason For This Sale.
Quality, style and pattern measure up to our
high standard of merchandise.
The price alone is lower.

A divorce suit which has been under
litigation sineo Mareh 10, liU. was
argued iu the supreme enurt yesterday j
and District Attorney E. R. ItinRo, who!
was a practicing attorney in 1'ortlnnd
when the suit was started, represented
tho defendant. The suit was brought
by Jessie Crinira against John L. Crimen
and at the first trial the court denied
tho divorce. It was tried again and
the plaintiff secured the decree and it
was appealed to the supreme court
where it was reversed. Airs. Orinim
then brought ejectment proceedings
Bud secured favorable decree which
was reversed in the supreme court. She
then prosecuted Crimm for uou support
but was defeated in this attempt. Next
she filed her third divorce suit which
she won in the circuit court and the
case was again appeuled to the so-
prcme court where it was argued jester
day. 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,

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

through tho mails, wouid bring their
catalog to the furniture men and then
