OUTSIDER MAKES FEW
SUGGESTIONS ON STREETS

Editor Journal: Realizing that
the proper time is passing away and
ifiyop would not consider II presump-
ton on the part of a farmer to give
the city of Salem some timely sug-
gestions regarding the repairing of
her streets, | humbly submit the fol-
lowing ideas. There Is a right and a
wrong time to build streets, and espe-
cially streets that have not been
graveled, and the right time is now
while the mud is drying up. AS soon
as the work can be commenced in the
spring before the mud is gone both
grader and split log drag should be
put to work and kept at work until
the streets are in good condition. AS
the streets are smoothed teams will
travel over them and drying mud

ticed that it is the practice to wait
until IL is dry in the spring or until
fall rains set in to begin street work.
This r. the wrong time, for 1t is both
time and money thrown away and
the streets are In worse condition
than they were before. In 1905 n.

half billions more within the next

shrewd business men would make
this vast investment for betterments
aloae II they did not see their way

the railway managers have enough
faith IN the future of transportation

10 make such an investment, why
chouid the American people hesitate
to spend one-fifth OF that sum for
the improvement OF their waterways?
The expenditure of a billion dollars,

efficient transportation machinery
on earth. France has done almost
eually well, and we are told at the
recent Rivers and Harbors congress
that It is possible to travel or to shin
goods by water from practically any
place to any other place in that
country. Even the South American
republics are outsripping us, both in
the size of the appropriations for this
class of work and in the speed and
efficiency with which II is being car
ried forward, while many single
municipalities, such as Liverpool
and London, have spent sans on
their waterways and docks which
make our appropriations for rivers
and harbors look like child's play
by comparison, and these investments
are paying good returns.

yards of their men the thieves sud-
denly stopped their team and made
for dense woods located about two
miles southwest of Marion. Know
ing that the enemy was armed, the
boys did not follow them into the
woods but brought the horses and
wagon to the city and turned 1t over
20 the police. Three were twenty
five chickens in the wagon. All were
alive with the exception of two,
which had been killed by the shot
from the pursuer's guns. The rear of
teh wagon was simply riddled with
shot and bullets and how the thieves
escaped with their Hives is httle less
than a miracle. The team was placed
in the Long livery barn on North
Main street and the wagon was al
lowed to stand In the street. Several
hundred people examined the bullet
riddled wagon today.
The thieves have been about Marion
for the past several days. They kept
their team in a local livery stable
and only last week disposed of $35
worth of chickens to Clements, the
poultry dealer. 1t Is thought that
they have been wording the city as
well as the country. The police have
a fine description of the men and feel
confident that they can effect their
capture. Sheriff Drown and small
company of deputies went TO the place
where the men entered the woods,
this morning, but could gain no furth-
er trace Of them.
It Is thought that the chickens
found in the wagon, are the property
of Louis Thompson, of Big Island
township, as he found that number
missing from his hennery this MORN
ing. The police are of the opinion
that this pair Is a part of an organ
lied gang of chicken thieves which
has been working successfully in all
parts of Marion county and every ef-
fort will be put forth to effect their
capture.
