"Keep Going" is an excellent slo.
gan that should be observed by each
and every candidate in the contest.
There is glory won in making great
race in this contest. Friends Of tie
candidates are proud Of them If they
work in the race with the "never die
spirit, "game" to the very end, a nus.
tier to the last minute of the contest.
Those contestants who work with this
spirit during the last day Of the con-
test will be able to secure great re.
suits tomorrow, as there is nothing
that anybody appreciates more than
that quality called "stiektoltiveness."
Hustle, hustle, the good old business
spirit 1t invading our city. Everybody
is hustling, and still in the rush of
business tne babies have not been for
gotten. The interest in the contest
does not even Lag. Everywhere you
go some one is working for favoritc
baby. They are gathering votes.
Watch the race during the coming
week. Some who are near the top will
go to the bottom with a thud and 9TH
ers who have been working quietly will
go 10 the top with a grand rucn. But
the silent one will win the plum"
The dark horse will soon assert itself
and begin to go toward the top. Moth
ing can stop it unless you get out right
now and do some tall hustling for
your favorite. Don't let some one beat
you who looks now as If they had no
show. They may fool oyu. over-con.
fidence may lose for you. Don't be
! defeated.

DAY EVENING.

The Hunters again demonstrated
their superiority over the ClarksburE
aggregation of baseball players by de.
feating them last evening by a score
of to l, in spite of comedy of er.
rors on the part of the locals.
1t was ladies' day and a great num-
Der OF the fair ones were present to
cheer the locals as the game progress
ed.
Willis is developing into a good
pitcher and only permitted the visitors
to whap the ball five times. Roda-
baugh, who opposed him, was not so
effective.
The visitors made their single run
in the first inning. The locals scored
in the third, fourth and eighth innings.

Thinks Salem All Right.

Mr.. f. J. Lafky has made a num-
Der OF investments in this city and
has made good on all OF them. The
past week he sold one of his houses
on Court and High streets to Frank
j. Brown for $4,000. He also bought
block in Highland just south of the
former residence of c. b. Moores.
and has several offers to sell. Prop
erty I'm North Salem is looking up,
and many inquiries for building lots
up that way are being made. Rail-
road men and laboring meen seem to
be centering on North Salem. All
the suburbs are advancing in desir-
ability and will improve still more
when all have local push clubs or
gained.

wonderful change in my mother
since she began to use Electric Bit

OF Danforth, Me. Although past 20
she seems really TO be growing
young again. She suffered untold
misery from dyspepsia for 20 years
At last she could neither eat, drink
nor sleep. Doctors gave her up and
all remedies failed till Electric Bit
ters worked such wonders for her
health" They inyigorate all vital
organs, cure Liver and Kidney
troubles, induce sleep. impart
strength and appetite. Only soc at

MAYOR
VETO
MESSAGE
OF ELECTRIC LINE
FRANCHISE

Mayor Rodgers filed his message
vetoing the electric line franchise
Saturday night
To the Common Council of the
City of Salem:
Bill number 596 is returned here
with with my disapproval.
have no objection to the bill save
he portion in reference to the build
ing of bridges, and | have striven to
avoid disappearing it by securing the
consent of the grantee to a separate
contract covering the points of my
objection, but the lapse of time
makes It imperative that | take ac-
ton on the bill in order TO avoid its
becoming law by limitation.
Section provides that the grantee
shall pay such proportion of the cost
of the superstructure of new bridges
as "S feet in width shall bear to the
greatest width" of the bridge; and
shall also pay for the stringers and
ties under its track together with the
decking Immediately over its ties.
When the bill was first under con-
sideration It was generally believed
| that reinforced concrete bridge
would be provided for South Com
mercial street Had this been done
the grantees share OF the cost under
the terms of the bill, would have
been, perhaps, an equitable share;
but inasmuch as the council has pre-
ferred a wooden bridge 80 feet wide

the grantees share under the above

$500.
All our bridges, with he eXcep-
tion of the South Commercial street
one, are narrow, and are likely to be
so for many years. Insofar as the
provision In question applies TO them
I think Il reasonably equitable. but
In the case OF a wide bridge made so
by the necessities OF traffic and busi-
ness, | think the provision made
quate.

street structure is 80 feet wide. It
contains 100 piles between the north
bank and the north edge of the new
fill on the south bank. IL this bill
goes into effect and new bridge
similar to the present one is built in
its place the grantee will be required
to pay for but one-twelfth of the pill
ing, or 10 piles and covering. If the
company we're to build its own bridge
at that point, for railway only 1t
would require about 40 piles.
The fact that a wide bridge takes
care of a great deal of lateral stress
with minimum amount of piling,
makes it possible to build a street car
bridge over one of them with but a
small amount of piling under the
track.
If this bill becomes a law the city
will practically be required to pay for
about two-thirds of the railway COM
pany's 8 feet of the construction of
the South Commercial street bridge.

GEORGE f. RODGERS,
