girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cumberland,
Md. He writes: "At the age of IL
months, our little girl was in declining

two physicians gave her up. We were
almost in despair, when we resolved to
try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, Coughs and Colds. The first

the public. He says that his opposi-
tion is not to Mr.. Pugh, as an architect,
or to his particular plans, but because
there was never an opportunity given
for any consultation as to what kind
of a building or what kind Of plans
were to be adopted. The plans, as now

Plans for the new Salem high school
building, which were drawn and sub

Pugh, were accepted by the honorable
body Tuesday evening. E. NJ. Croisan,
of the committee which went to Walla
Walla to inspect the buildings there,

ic' g lien on a house in University ad-
dition, which he claims to have built

only received $500 of the sum. He
prays for foreclosure in the sum Of $S5,

BRICK
BUILDING
WANTED
The New High School Struct-
ure Should Be a
Good One

Prominent business men are inter
esting themselves in the new high
school building and are insisting that
a pressed brick exterior be employed.
First-class red pressed brick can be
made at Salem and there is a strong
sentiment in favor of using nothing
cheaper than that on the high school.
There is an impression that award
ing the architect work to Mr.. Pugh
means that Mr.. Chas. A. Gray will
have the contract. Mr.. Gray says he
has not in some years had contracts
with Mr.. Pugh and will not bid on this
high school building. Mr.. Gray has
had number of government contracts
and in each case the government ar
chitects did all the work and furnished
a superintendent of construction. This
is said in justice to both Messrs. Pugh
and Gray All contractors will be free
to bid on the new high school building
and it is believed that there will be
such competition that a good building
will be secured.

Spray Your Fruit Trees.

Persons having fruit trees and orna-
mental trees that, under the state law,
are required to be sprayed at this sea-
son of the year, are requested to leave
their orders at f. A. Virgins imple-
ment house or with the Oregon Nur-
sery Company. The expense is very
small, and the increase in fruit and
quality will more than repay all cost
to the owner. Or apply to f. C. Arm

outfit, who will at once attend to the
matter. 2-27-tf

member OF the board TO allow some in
vestigation. No committee was APP
pointed to go to Walla Walla. The two
who went did so on their motion. Mr..
Lee says, as another reason for voting
against the Pugh plans, that no con-
tract has been made with him as to his
fees or commission. There is not
word on record as to the achitect's COM
pensation, and Mr.. Lee says he simply
declined to stand for the transaction
of public business in that way. He
says the board ordered the architect to
proceed to have plans and specifications
made for a frame building, one Of com
mon brick and one of Newberg pressed
brick.

Team Ran on Sidewalk.

Early risers on Commercial street
this morning were surprised and not
little startled to see an excited and
angry team dashing madly down the
street, without driver, and evidently
without purpose, other than to get
away from some unseen danger.
1t was learned later that the rig
belonged to Henry Tucker, who had
gone into Savage's feed store, leaving
the team for a few moments, when
street car came that way, and the
horses, not being accustomed to such
strange sights, took fight, running
south on Commercial street to Court,
where they seemed undecided as to
which way would be the best, one pull
ing one way and the other the other.
At last they compromised and took the
sidewalk on Commercial street, in front
of Stockton's store.
For nearly half block they ran,
without doing serious damage, bicycle
racks having been kicked off of the
walk at their approach by the clerks in
the nearby stores, after which valiant
action these same clerks soon sought
refuge within their respective places
of business, evidently not wishing a
closer acquaintance with the frightened
horses
When the team reached Eckereln s
cafe they met an obstacle in the shape
of U. S. mail box, but, without hesi-
tating for a moment they knocked it to
the ground, and trampled it into small
bits, then proceeded on their flight,
leaving the sidewalk in front of Buren
Hamilton and keeping the middle
of the street until the top of the South
Commercial street hill was passed, when
they slowed down, and were soon re-
captured by their owner. Mr.. Tucker
Immediately, upon securing his team,
drove back over the route of the runa-
way, and inquired as to the damage
done, so that he might settle all claims
at once.
