new GRILL OPENED
-Tavern" Bids Welcome-Larse

fiandsomsst Gale.
GUESTS ARE ALL DELIGHTED

"The Tavern" splendidly appointed
grill with cuisine comparing with, If
not excelling, Delmonico's, New York,
Tait's in San Francisco, or the Portland
"Rathskeller," was auspiciously opened
in the Rose City" Monday night. The
"Tayerns is owned by August Kratz.
Centrally located, the new grill upon
its initial opening received not only the
patronage of the theater crowds but of
those returning to the city from the ex'
position grounds and Manager Kratz is
to be felicitated over his first nights
business.
THE Tavern" is lsvishly furnished. 4
prominent Portland architect has sur.
passed himself in designing the place
which is patterned after the early Dutch
taverns. A string orchestra was in at
tendance and to the delight of the guests
rendered an excellent program which in
cluded both popular and classical selee'

ganization is chosen in such manner as
to better equip il for the rendition of or
chestral compositions. 4 competent con-
ductor is in charge.
There are two large entrances, tho
main one being on Sixth street, between
Washington and Alder, and another, es.

two great grill rooms accommodate near

contribute to the comfort of guests has
been provided The interior woodwork
and furniture is of weathered oak of mas

artistic eye. Exposed beams lend the
effect of immense size and antiquity to
the ceiling, while the walls are beauti

NEW ROAD MACHINE.
Good Roads Enthusiast Introducing
an inexpensive Method.

AN inexpensive Method.
Dr. William r. Lee. a good roads
enthusiast Of San Francisco, is in the
city and will endeavor to demonstrate
to the people of Marion county, az
well as the people of the entire state,
the merits Of the road dragging idea,
originated by D. Ward King, a farm
er of Maitland, Mo-, says the Salem
Statesman. DR.. Lee will 20 to Port
land tomorrow, but will return to Sa-
lem In about two weeks, when he in
tends to give an actual demonstration
in improving roads by the drag sys-
tenn
This method OF improving roads is
attracting wide attention, and It is
said the originator of the idea, who is
the expert road representative Of the
Missouri board of agriculture, is in
great demand to explain the new sys-
tenn of road construction, not only in
Missouri, but in many other states.
DR. Lee, who is a friend of Mr..
King has taken up the matter on the
coast, and is devoting his entire time
In an effort to get the method prop
erly before the people of the western
sites His visit to Salem at this time
is for the purpose of getting in touch
with County Judge J. H. Scott. pres
ident of the Oregon State Good Roads
association, who is favorably Impress
ed with the road dragging idea, and
anxious to ascertain its merits by ac-
tual demonstration.
The road drag as invented by Mr..
King, is a simple and inexpensive de-
vice and can be made by any farmer
in a few hours time. 1t consists of a
split log nine feet in length and from
10 to IL inches thick. The halves are
set on edge 80 inches apart with both
flat sides to the front and are fasten-
ed together by oak or hedge bars the
ends of which are wedged in two-inch
auger holes bored through the logs
or slabs.
The road drag is said to give
smooth surface to the road, allowing
the water in the winter time to run
off and to encourage the distribution
Of travel over the road from side to
side. By dragging while the earth is
yet moist 1t is claimed the road will
finally become a series of practically
water proof layers of puddle earth,
each one of which is rolled and pound
ed by the wheels and hoofs of travel.
The method is credited with being
an inexpensive way in which to ac-
accomplish excellent results in road
and the matter will he
given a thorough investigation by
County Judge Scott and the other
members of the Marion county court

Lucerne. Switzerland, Sept. 19.-
One of the most impressive peace con.
crosses ever held opened here today
fhe tide of arbitration and peace II
now running so high in all the Eur.
opean states that many of the mos
influential men in all parts of tht
) world are in attendance at the confer.
ence to discuss questions of great ma.
tional Importance which are to be
presented at the sessions.
Most Important among the many vi.
tai subjects outlined for the program
or the 18th International Peace Con-
sress are the questions of the reduc-
uon OF the armies and navies of the
nation and of the establishment of a
stated International congress for the
| regular cons Iteration of all interna-
tlonal matters. Both of these ques-
ions Will pr obably also engage the
second Hague conference which 1t is
now stated Oh good authority, will
meet as soon as the present hostili-
Ties In the east are settled.
A feature OF the program which
appeals to our own--peopIe, is the
prominence given to the subject of
naturalization. Al the Boston con-
gress last autumn, this subject receiv-
ed degree of con 'sideration greater
than that accorded to it at any pre-
Vlous peace congrea and since that
tlme through the de claration of the
massachusetts Board of Trade in fa-
Vor OF naturalization o { certain zones
across the Atlantic, 1t h rs commanded
world wide notice. 1t is a well un-
uerstood fact that the pro blem of neu-
tralization applied to the Philippines
oy the mutual ag reement the great
nations would remove many of the
most serious obs tacles in tn way of
thelr assumption of linden endence.
Above all the course of event. in the

subject of neut talization to the front

of the day.

Linn Wheat ls Short.

Albany-Wheat is a short crop in
Linn county this year owing to the
long continued dry weather. A few
days OF rain just at the right time
would have made this years crop the
bumper product for the county, but
the rain failed to come. As it is, the
wheat in most sections runs about 16
bushels per acre. The heads are not
well filed, and the grain is little
light. Some OF the harvesting machines
are unable to make expenses for the
owners at the agreed prices for thresh-
ing, and threshing-machine men have
in many instances been compelled to
give up the rating agreed upon and
charge for their work by the hour.

Winter Whea, Good.

La Grande-Haryesting in the Grand
Ronde valley is now well under way,
and 30 far the yield Of fall and winter
sown wheat is good, the average being
40 bushels per acre of an excellent
quality, many fields yielding so bush
els. Spring sown grain is very light
and will not yield more than half a
crop. The hay crop is very good, and
the same condition prevails in Wallowa
county as to hay and grain as in this
valley. The sugar beet crop is much
better than at any previous season, and
the sugar factory is expecting a much
longer and more profitable run than
last season.
