Fathers New Plan.
The Portland Commercial club is
fathering a new plan for the develop
ment Of the state that has for its OBJ
lect the use of Oregon products by
Oregon people. This doctrine has
been preached before, but there has
never been greater opportunity for
building up home industries than now.
A campaign to extend the use of Or
egon-made goods here at home is now
under way and the cooperation of
commercial bodies of the state will be
enlisted.
Interest in commercial club circles
OF the state is now centered on the an
nual convention Of the Oregon Devel-
opment league in Astoria, August IA,
Is and l6. The program, now being
completed, includes the leaders in de-
velopment work in this part of the
United States, as we'll as number of

Centennial celebration is in progress,
delegates will be entertained by the
Astorans in royal fashion.

Recognition of good work done, as
as it was gracious, was evil
denced during the past week at Sub
Unity, where women of the Wahi
club gave a dinner to the conviots who
have been building roads in that pre-
cinct. Such appreciation is almost
unheard of, yet il is instances such
as this that probably do more to help
the unfortunates regain their self
respect than anything else.

Prompt Action Necessary.

The most important consideration
at this time is whether the public
wishes to avail itself of the privilege.
Whatever action is taken will have
to be prompt, as the railroad company
is anxious to get started on the new
bridge as soon as possible.
The site chosen is two blocks north
of the present public bridge and will
allow the railroad to enter Salem on
Union street. The ultimate cost has
been estimated to be between $780,
900 and $250,000, according to the
style adopted. The bridge will be
thoroughly modern in every way. 1t
will have lift-draw of the same type
as in use ON the Hawthorne bridge
in Portland, and the span will be suf-
iiciently wide to allow the passage of
any of the craft that ply the Willam-
ette.

ASK ROADS ASSISTANCE
MOVE FOR NEW BRIDGE Be
TWEEN POLK AND MARION.
General Manager Gerlinger Willing
TO Assist In Building Com
bination Structure.

Following the plan to extend its
line into the Capitol City this fall, the
Salem, Falls City & Western Rail-
way Company has recently finished
a survey Of the site for the intended
bridge across the Willamette, and the
engineers plans have been received
in the Office of General Manager L.
Gerlinger Jr., in this city. The War
Department has given its approval,
and work will soon be started so as
to finish the superstructure before
the river rises.
More or less complaint has been
made in regard to the condition of the
present wagon bridge between Salem
and West Salem, which is maintained
by the City Of Salem and Marion and
Polk counties, each bearing a third of
the cost. There is feeling, especially
in Marion county, that the one now
in use should be replaced and an eff
fort is to be made to save large part
of the expense Of new one by CO.
operating with the railroad company
in the erection of the one which the
latter is soon to put under way
Asked To Cooperate.
General Manager Gerlinger has been
approached by residents of both
counties asking him if he would be
willing to consent to allow the build
ing of combination railroad and
public bridge, To an Observer re-
porter who called on him Saturday,
he said that he had concluded that
it would be good thing to do, as the
Company did not wish to stand in the
way of the development Of the two
counties and would be willing to allow
the authorities to take advantage of
the opportunity if they cared to do
so. He has had plans prepared show
ing how the idea would work out and
a number Of interested property
owners of Marion county are to take
the matter up with him this week in
Salem. Two ideas have been sug-
gested by the engineers. In both the
center is occupied by the railroad, but
in one a roadway is arrangd for on
each side, while the other calls for a
roadway and foot walk on either side.
The question Of arrangement, however
is Of minor Importance, and will take
care of itself

suited in the smashing of one wagon

ing of 4 whiffietree on another wagon,
and the cutAlag of the leg of the horse
attached to that wagon.
The runaway horse belonged To

dealer, and it appears that it was
hitched in front of Max Slosberg's
house on Bridge street when it became
frightened at something. and made a
Wild dash down the street towards
Water street. eolliding on its way with
a tw1-hoase team belonging to man
by the name of Sproul of NassaiDoro.
No serious damage was done TO the
Sproul team except to break a. WHIT
netree and injure one of tho horse $
legs to slight extent. The Slosberg
horse freed himself of the wagon when
about half way down Bridge Street
hill and was easily stopped in front
of Coughlins store
Mr. Slosberg's wagon at the time o.
the accident had two or three barrels
of empty bottles in it. which were
strewea the whole length of Bridge

New Rules of
School Board for
Grade IEntranCe.

The Board of Education has adopted
tie following rules with reference to
the admission Of children to Grade /:
In all school districts i'll Augusta in
which Kindergartens are maintained
the age Of admission of children to
Grade | is six Years Children that are
six years ola before the FIRST OF The fol-
lowing January, may be admitted To
Grade ! by order of the Superintend-
ent. Parents are advised that at least
one year of Kindergarten work is ne
| ressary for successful work in Grade
| and are urged To enter their children
in the kindergarten for at least ore
years work
Supt +. q. Marshall makes the fol-
lowing explanation in reference to the
above rule. The rule applies to the
Williams, Smith and Webster school
districts. and il does not apply to the
Nash and Middle Street school dis
tricts. on account of the fact that there
are no Kindergarten schools in these
districts. The city now. supports three
well equipped kmdergartens, and the
work in these is regarded as a pre-
paratory for the Grade l work. The
standarlizing of the school courses.
the introduction of many new sub
iects in the curriculum, the reduction
of the grades from Y to TX, the plans
for the further reduction to an Sgrada
system all tend to increase the de-
mands upon the children in each.
grade.
The child needs good development.
both mental and physical To success
fully undertake the work of the hrst
grade. and this development will be
especially FASTENED by at least
years. preparatory work in our Kin
dergartens say Supt. Marshall.
The limit set by this rule for Gu
trance to Grade will involve no hard
ship in the case of an especially early
development for. after the child is
once admitted to the school system.
It can advance as rapidly as its de-
velopment will permit, The half year
" systems of promotion, together with
the reduction of the number of grades
will enable the child. who is d good
student to pass through the Augusta
Grade schools in the future in seven
years This age limit is set to insure
in the first grades a reasonable uni
formity in age.
