T FOR WG PLANT Assertions Made It Was Over Worked Ex-Mayor Says It Was Double Crossed As s result of the trip of the street improvement committee yesterday to Albany in regard to the purchase of a new paving plant the committee signed a contract on the part of the city of Salem with Mrs. Travis for the pur chase of her plant at a price of $4500. The city has an option on the plant for thirty days for the purpose of giv ing it a trial, and if at the end of that time it does not wish to buy it, rental is to be paid at the rate of ten cents a yard superficial area. At the end of thirty days if the plant is found satis factory, the rental that, would accrue is to be applied to the purchase price. In regard to the condition of the old plant, Councilman Buchner said he had investigated the matter from A to Z and found that the plant was a lemon in the first place and that it hag turned into a white elephant on the hands of the city. Was Burned. Out, j.n me nrst piace tne plant was a conereto mixer with a boom to swing the concrete from side to side and a traction engine o that it moved with its own steam. An oil tank was at tached along with boilers and vats for the preparing of asphalt an8 by using it for this work It was severely abused. The plant was prscticaly ruined by the not mixtures at zoo degrees .Fahrenheit but he ays it is still a good concrete mixer and will do the work it was originally designed to do. The engine tnat was used tor the work of mixing concrete he said was too small for- the work of preparing asphalt. Councilman Buchner stated that- the machine was turned over to the mem bers of last year's council without that council knowing just what kind of. a machine .they had. Hq said the re ceiving of the machine without- an in. vestigation as to its qualities was something scandalous, and he was glad he was not on the council at that time. He declared the machine was accepted on the word of Salesman Johnson of the firm that made it. With the new paving plant on hand and' with purchase a reasonable cer tainty, he says the council will prob ably dispose of one or other of the concrete mixers. The council may turn the present old paving plant into what it was originally intended for, a con crete mixer, or it may sell it and re tain the new mixer secured a short time ago. These matters will probably come up at the next meeting of the council. . Put Out of Business. "It is ij. .matter. of common repute," said?, former Mayor Harley O. White, this morning, "that the city engineer has been against the city doing any paving or other work. He has been in favor nf city contracting and opposed to the city doing its own work. Mis management has been the cause of the loss of the city paving plant. Against the advice of Street Commissioner W. S. Low, who had handled the plant successtully, it was turned over to in experienced parties, the engineer in charge not knowing how to properly handlo the plant." The opinion was also freely expressed by others familiar with the city's pav ing plant that it had been deliberately "jobbed" and that paving had been made so expensive to the city that the people would be willing to go back to the old system of letting work out to contractors. "In other works," said Mr. White, "the attempt has been made to put the city out of the paving business. It is claimed that the boiler was deliberately repairea in sucn a way that it soon .mrnt out and that waste was found in the injector pipe, although the pipe was protected to prevent this." Aa an example of - expensive work reterence is made to the paving at the fair grounds, to the lack of system in working the men and also to the in efficient way of handling laborers while '-fie work was done on South Com mercial street. The plant originally cost $3,200 and was not a second hand plant. That it GOOD BUYS 10 acres of good prune and Logan berry land all under cultivation, 'A't miles south.

E Grabenhorst & Co. 275 State Street Pays More to State Than He Gets for Hogs Who Is Feeble Minded? Thirty-two head of hogs purchased this week from the Feeblo Minded In stitute by G. W. Eyre, stock buyer, cost him $1,035.05 which is tbo high est price he has paid for hogs in his forty years in the stock business. The hogs were bought at $16.75 a hundred while last year at this time the same stock would bring between eight and nine dollars s hundred. But when Mr. Eyre got the hogs to Portland the price had dropped $1 a hundred and he sold them for $16.65 a hundred, which as the hogs weighed 6,200 pounds gave him a loss of $6.20. The freight cost him another $60 bo he is out on the deal about $66.20. He as serts he is working for the state in that he buys for more and sells for less with the state receiving the profit.

Dr. Smith Makes Farm at Feeble Minded School Pay Well During 2 Years Dr. J. N. Smith, superintendent nf the Feeble Minded institute, sold 32 head of 8-months old hogs this week that averaged 193 pounds to the head and brought the top price in the Salem market, $18.75 per hundred. The total amount received for the hogs was about $1,080. Dr. Smith, during the past two years has supplied the 400 people at. the in stitution with all the vegetables and farm produce needed from the farm and sold the surplus for over $5,100. The doctor is nnibtedly a good busi ness manager, but he believes hiat any intelligent, industrious farmer ought to be making plenty of money in this period of high prices for produce and livestock.

Scene of the Bombardment of Amer ican Hospitals in France, Sept. 8. . Four Americans were killed when Ger man airmen deliberately bombed Amer ican hospitals on tho French coast. The men killod were: First Lieuten ant Wm. T. Fitzimmons, Kansas City; Adjutant to the Colonel commanding the Harvard hospital, Private Leslie O. Woods, of Streator, 111.; Rudolph Rub inof, Jr., of New York, and Oscar Let ugo of Boston. In addition to those killed three first lieutenants wero wounded as well aa six private and one nurse,. A visit to the sceno of this ruthless attack hy the Germans brought con viction that the bombardment of tho hospitals was deliberate. Enemy aeroplanes flew over the hos pitals more than once during daylight hours. Tho hospitals were clearly dis tinguishable nnd in addition to tho landmarks arc such that they could bo easily mapped by an aviator. Tho abovo United Press dispatch car ries the first American casualty list of tho war. The officers who were slaughtered by German fiightfulness in the raid on tho American hojpit.ils by euemy air men, aio the first to be killed oii land since the United States entered tho war. There have been casualties at sea ow ing to tho submarine warfare and two or three accidental deaths among tho men who went abroad with General Pershing, hut the workers of mercy among the hospital units are the first to die in service as Ihe result of an enemy attack. Wh.'n one of tho boeho bombs struck a tent filled with wounded, the leg of one of the wounded men were blown off. He is expected to die. A fifth bomb killed another man who was standing in tho door of another hospital tent, Nurses and officers nliko ignored all personal danger. They cared for those wounded by the bombs immediately aud gave "no heed to tho explosions. One nurse was blown off her feet by the explosion of a bomb and the was slightly wounded about the face and her clothing torn to shreds, but brave ly went on with her duties. In addition to tho bombs which wero dropped on the hospitals served by the Harvard and St. Louis units, one largo bomb w.is apparently aimed at tho Chicago ho-apital. This bomb struck just across the road from the hospitul, but it failed to ex plode. FitZttimmons was instantly killed. Ho heard the signal miming of the raid at midnight Tuesday night and came to the door of his tent. Jmt as tic step ped out two bombs fell, striking tha ground no more than six feet apart. uno oi tnem tunucti aim expiuuea wiin in two 'feet of the Lieutenant. Frag ment of the bombs flew hundreds of yards, one piece passing through tho Harvard officers' mess hall. LAST OF PEARS SHIPPED. W. F.
