TO PAVE OR NOT TO PAVE.
A Happy Solution Offered by the En-
ttrprislng Spirit Of One Salem
Man.

The city council at its initial meet
ing can hardly be expected to do
more than fairly well organize. The
mayor must announce his new com
mittees. New city officers must be
elected.
But it is not too early to notice
the fact that street paying will be
apt to demand attention at an early
day. The most conservative citizens
are now in favor of some kind of
street improvement, and the most
progressive lin some instances large
owners of property, too,) all say
that it cannot be too good.
With all this feeling and practical
unanimity on the part of the coun-
Gil in favor of public improvements,
there ought to be nothing in the
way of rational forward move
ment.
A common sense rule favors al
lowing the citizens of any street to
say what kind of pavement they
desire in front of their property. A
very happy solution of the matter
would be found, if street paving
could be conducted with no ex-
ercise of force, or as little as posi-
BILE on the part of the city. 1t is evil
dent that if good pavement could
be put down by agreement on one
block it would speak for itself as its
own best agreement.
One of Salem's largest taxpayers
has been labOring to secure co.
operation of all in his block to put
down a volunteer pavement. He
argues that such movement would
secure a good street. He rightly
argues that private citizens could
secure better work and possibly
cheaper work than the city could
possibly obtain by contracting in
the usual way. If the CITY govern
ment would allow the streets to be
improved in this manner. it would
relieve itself Of a tremendous re-
sponsibility, and public spirited citi-
zens would appreciate the opportu-
nifty offered them.

HALL OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Proposed Alterations TO Improve its
Acoustic Prnperliea.


The board of capitol commissioners
met at 10 a. m. to open bids and
plans for alterations in the assem-
bly, chamber.
G.. A. Roberts plan proposes to
remove tue rooms in the corners,
make the hall in the form Of an
oval, lowers the roof II feet, making
room 35 feet high, leaving a story
above for committee rooms.
The ceiling will be Of natural
woods in oil finish, u dome over the
entire hall, aud sloplug floor. Esti-
mated cost $99l5. His plan cuts off
100, 600 cubit feet of air, which must
now be filed 10y a speakers voice.
His plan is that of the Chicago
suditorium.
Pugh & Carey, of Salem, make a
bid on plans do not propose a lower
ing of the ceiling, but removes pres
ent one and puts in ceiling that
slopes to center, sounding board
behind speakers desk and the total
estimate 1925.
S. e. Maxa of Portland has plan
that cuts off the sides of the horse
shoe gallery, cuts off the wings
behind the speakers stand, and
extends the gallery across the oppo-
site end. He considers the height
of the hall proper as it now is. He
puts in an entirely new ceiling.
His estimates are S9O72.
THE GovERNoRs PLAN.
Governor Pennoyer had read a
plan as follows:
l. Raise floor to level of upper
sash of windows.
2. Cut off gallery projecting,
leaving square gallery over vestibule
which Is to be closed.
3. Converting wings be hind
speakers stand into cloak rooms.
4. Make ceiling perfectly fiat, re-
moving projections.
Estimated cost $4,000.
All agree on abolishing the
"throue" and also cutting off the
side galleries and rear wings. The
board is in possession of some valu-
able plans and information. Archi-
tect Krumblein proposes to make the
ceiling perfectly smooth by remov-
ing all hollow projections. He
would regulate the sound by stretch
ing netting made for that purpose.
He is corresponding with experts in
Europe, and asks the board to defer
action until then.

La Grippe.

La Gflppe.
The tendency of this disease to-
ward pneumonia is what makes It
dangerous, La Grippe requires pre-
cisely the same treatment as a severe
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Is famous for its cures Of severe colds.
This remedy efiectually counter
acts the tendency Of the disease TO
result In pneumonia, provided that
proper care be taken TO avoid ex-
pOsure when recovering from the at
tack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemles OF the
past two years has failed 10 discover
a single case that has not recovered
or that has resulted In pneumonia.

A PETTrIoN.-A petition was be-
ing circulated among Salem business
men today asking the council to re-
lieve the Willamette Valley Milling
Co., from planking its race on Front
street. A number of Salem business
men have been informed by one of
the managers of the Milling Co.
that it has recently decided to try to
get right of way SO as to enable it
to take its ditch out of the street
entirely, and run it in fiume down
the creek bed. This would appear
to be sensible move when it is COLI
sidered that the race where it is now
is liable to involve the Milling Co.
in private damage suits for flooding,

June Frosts in England

The sharp and sudden frosts of the middle of June in England made a dis. tinct impression upon the midsummer landscapes. Bright October colors arc introduced among the early summer foliage. Acres of bracken look as fl scorched by fire. On Leith hill, Ran, more, the Hollnwood and most of the Surrey and Kentish commons the effect is the same, while good deal of the young fern has assumed rich autumn tint.
