BOARD OF TRADE APPROVES
SALEM AND STATION ELECTRIC
RAILROAD PROJECT

The Salem board of trade last
night with a large attendance voted
unanimously to join with the Stay
ton Commercial club in the con.
struction of an electric line between
the two towns. After presentation
of the matters by the committee that
was sent to Stayton by the Salem
board OF trade, and full discussion
by the business men present, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
The Resolution.
Resolved, That the Salem board
of trade heartily endorses the plan
approved by the Stayton board of
trade for construction of an electric
line from Stayton TO Salem, and that
We favor the appointment of two
members of the board of trustees to
act with the members of the board
appointed at Stayton on Saturday
night, March 80.
I'VE further pledge the support OF
this organization to aid in securing
euch subscription OF stock as may
be necessary to insure the success
of this enterprise"
Upon motion the chairman, Gideon
Stolz. was authorized to appoint two
members of the Salem board of trade
to act with the two members ap-
pointed at Stayton, and named j..
Frank Hughes and f. Hofer. The
Stayton members are George Brown
and Willis Caldwell. and these four
gentlemen will meet as soon as they
can get together. and ascertain wha.
IL will cost to build the line and
make their report
Good Speeches Made.
Talking grew in interest as the
meeting proceeded and for a solid
hour the best and most conservative
business men of Salem discussed the
Stayton-Salem project. A. Huckc-
stein, County Treasurer Richardson
and VIM. Bushey who made the sur
vey for the original Salem-Stayton
line undertaken two years ago made
encouraging speeches. Mr.. Bushey
said the grade would be less than
one-half OF ono per cent at the most,
and the curves almost nothing. while
the cost OF construction OF the line
he located would the lightest OF any
road In the valley. There were but
two bridges on the line. and the
country IL ran through was rich IN
resources.

from Mitchell that Fred Huber had
been drowned.
The Huber boy. who was student
at the Granite City high school. was
spending his vacation with friends on
a farm.
Accompanied by two OF the farm

the lake and then started 10 return.
He got about half way TO the shore
when he threw up HIS hands and fell
back. The water IS not very deep at
this point and the boys hair could be
seen above the surface.
Stovall and Collins went into the wa

the boy he was stu alive He was
struggling 10 free his feet which had
become imbedded In the sand. which is
several feet deep all along the shore
OF the lake.
The two men stayed only a few sec

their clothes and shoes. the quagmire
was already pulling them in and IL
was only with an effort that they were
able TO tear themselves from the sand
and get TO the shore.
An hour later the boys body was ia
ken from the lake. a rope was tied
about his shoulders and he was
dragged out OF the sand. II required
five men 70 eXtricate the body.
Huber and his sister Merle. were in
separable companions. The pair were
known throughout southern Illinois on
account Of their marvellous likeness.
They were in the same class az school.

OF belt where no belt was originally
intended. And yet IL care and taste
be used II is perfectly possible to fix
an old gown by the addition OF one OF
these broad belts in cases where no
other kind OF alteration would be
feasible.
The costume shown is one OF those
useful frocks IN which the blouse
may be changed. The bodice part.
which matches the skirt. may be

OF bretelles. the only marked differ
ence being that in the case OF the
jacket the lower part is loose from the
belt while the bodice is made as
bretelles or n jumper-fearful. menac-
ing. but all useful word-the lower
part is fastened in below the belt. In
either case the blouse is separate.

In the street without an extra wrap.
and the change OF blouses makes It
extremely practicable for fairly hard
wear. The gown has a long plain
skirt Of most graceful style. such
as looks particularly we'll in the soft

The gown shown is Of pale gray

Cotton Sllprers.

Bedroom slippers for summer wear
are sometimes knitted in mercerized
crochet cotton. which may be bought
in all colors.
They are, OF course, not nearly so
warm as slippers OF wool yarn and
when knitted on steel kneedles, they
are firm and durable.
Mercerized cotton is very inexpen.
sive and very pretty. In fact. the I'm
ished slippers are so much like silk
that It seems impossible that they are
not made OF that expensive material.
The work, too. is nice, for there are
no loose threads about cotton to get
caught on the sharp needles-as yarn
when knitted on steel sometimes does.
