Itching Skin Quickly Cooled.

Hot weather means skin trouble
for many people, but now you can
stop the itch instantly.
Just few drops of the cooling
and healing wintergreen lotion and
the itch is gone-not in half an hour
not in ten minutes-but in five
seconds.
This simple wash is known as D.
D. D. Prescription for Eczema, and
usually sells for $1.O0 bottle, but
now by special arrangement you can
get trial size bottle for 25 cents.
This will be enough to show why
we always recommend D. D. D. for
all skin troubles. D. D. D. gives in
slant relief.

i.nherits a Fortune

Carl Diehl who has worked at yari-
Gus places in the valley for six months
or more, came into town the last of
the week on business. Mr. Diehl, who
claims Pittsburg, Pa, as his home, had

from habit than expectation, he made
his usual visit to the postoffice, and
was greatly surprised to find there a
letter from home. Upon opening it he
learned of the recent death of his faith
er and grandfather, both of them were
men of some little means, and that q
fortune of no mean proportion was
awaiting him. He did not know Just

THE BRIDGE SITUATION.

The refusal of the city counto order third election on the
question of issuing bridge bonds probably right.

In the meantime the city has to eight thousand dollars on

The suggestion Alderman Manning that the city build con-

sense.
Straight solid piers will stand longer and steel grders Will
leave larger opening for high water than arch bridges
Piers with steel grders simpler cheaper more durable
and less liable settle than arch concrete for small spans
Steel grders can covered with plank concrete or paving
and are practically indestructable. s,l'

WANTED-A MAN.

No man has yet shown up at Salem big enough to handle the
problem of bringing in a gravity system of water supply.
Medford, Newport Corvallis, Baker City, Newberg Dales
and many other places have been able to do this thing right
None of these cities going bankrupt and Of them
are getting fine revenues from their water systems
Seattle and Tacoma have magnificent gravity systems and are
coming big money out of their public ownership plants
The state officials the legislature the heads of state instu
ons and the county officials have begged the city to act
Today in the humilaLng conditions of not hav
ing decent adequate water supply for the state institutions To-
Gated here.
famine the states biggest institution is the
program and petty makehfs restoed to for protection
Another we'll will be dug another ten thousand dollars will be
thrown away for temporary supply and then the state will
have nit
1t big enough toplan this thing big enough to
its Importance and figure the cost has not yet been dis
covered
With the mountains full of pure water wasting itself and
ming down hill past DOORS have not gumpOn enough to
tap it. We have too many of what Lsh Applegate called %
venpeters"
No city in the history of civilization threw away op
portunity to get water supply such favorable terms
The present plant it stands is earning all kinds of money
for its owners and they not willing to sell to the city
The nine state institutions spending enough sup
ply and employees and engineers and plumbers to almost keep
up.
Governor West has stated that he ready and willing to
furnish convict labor to lay the mains to the mountains
The state officials have been authorized time and again
enter into contracts with the city to put in Joint water sys-
tem
Yet have in the city big enough to head move
Ecat to bring about desideatum for which the whole state
would pay
On top of that the whole state would be benefited and feel
grateful for what Salem would do in this matter.
