City Behind Them.

Ed. The Journal:--In the comment
upon the new water proposition, in
Saturday Capital Journal, 1t was said,
the present plant, 1t seems, will
have to be purchased as 1t is the ex-
perience of other places that bonds
for putting in city plant, in oppo-
sition to plant already installed,
cannot be sold"
This may be true where the water
bonds get their value and security
from the plant itself. But in the pro-
posed measure, 1t Is provided that
"Said bonds shall be signed by the
mayor and counter-signed by the re-
corder of the city of Salem, under
the seal of said city where
by the city of Salem shall be held
and considered in substance and eff
feet to undertake and promise
to pay the bearer of each Of said
bon,aiSS the sum named
therein" etc. And further "The
principal and interest upon the bonds
authorized to be issued by the city
of Salem under this act may be pro-
vided for by taxes assessed, levied
and collected from all Of the real and
personal property of the city of Sa-
lem not exempt from taxation"
SO, it would seem (the new bonds
would be as good as the reputation
of Salem honesty and ability, and
such bonds will sell, Of course,
Moreover, these bonds are to be is
sued in small denominations, on the
popular loan plan, and will not have
to depend upon the favor of few
capitalists who might put their heads
together on the proposition.
Presumably there would be no SER
ious objection to buying the old
plant at what 1t would be worth to
the city in establishing new one;
but the service of the old plant has
not been such as to merit much Of
bonus in the shape of fancy price.

SALEM HEIGHTS
is SATISFIED
WITH SERVICE
HAS NO KICK AGAINST STREET
CAR SERVICE, BUT is THANK
FUL TO THE COMPANY FOR
EXTENDING 1T TO THEM.

see in the Evening Telegram of
April 20 an article headed Poor Car
Service on Heavy Track at Salem"
l don't know who the correspondent
is, nor how he got his information.
In said article lie says several of the
councilmen have been approached by
taxpayers outside of the city limits,
requesting an ordinance to remove its
single-truck cars and install double
truck cars. 1t seems by the reading
of this article, that there is pnos-
pect of compromise by the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Co. and the
city Of council, by laying new steel
throughout the city. 1t seems said
taxpayers entertain an idea we, as su-
burbans, will greatly suffer by the
compromise, and say we don't want
the old single-truck cars, and appar-
emily complain Of car service in
general. Now what | wish to say
is in mentioning outside Of the city
limit car service, must have reference
to the new service just installed to
what Is known as Salem Heights, as
| know of no other outside city street
car service at Salem. 1 am here to
say we have had quite a struggle
to get this service, and will say, by
investigation, l think all the people
living along or tributary TO this ex-
tension are perfectly satisfied and
highly pleased with present condi-
tions, and we hate very much for the
report to 80 out to the contrary. We
feel very thankful to the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Co, Cor this
extension, and are all using our in
fuence by patronage and otherwise
to show our appreciation OF same.
And IL this article has reference to us
in any way, II the party or parties
will please take the trouble to inves-
tigate this matter little farther,
surely think they will find the major
ity of the citizens Of Salem Heights
and Liberty districts are perfectly
willing and glad to take the service
we are now getting until the com
pany sees fit to Improve it, and th'
patronage they are now receiving
over the extension will surely beaI
me out in my assertions; would lik'
to have it understood we are NJ
knockers out here, and this stree
car service is going to greatly he'll

been an excellent one, and the opln-
ion seems to prevail that he will

Mr.. Stephenson is the present game
warden and his administration has
also been good, and his chances for
appointment also seem to be good.
"In view of the charge that Nc
Namara was railroaded from the
state, believe that every precaution
should be taken, in the event of other
requstions, to prevent a repetition OF
the charge" the governor continued.
II will make one of the conditions
of the states warrants that the ac-.
cused men be given. opportunity to
appear in court with an attorney, and
contest the validity of such war
rant"
He defended his action in the pres
ent case, saying that he did not know
McNamara's identity, and merely fol-
lowed the usual practice in extradi-
tion matters.
Prosecutor Baker to-day said that,
besides probing the charge that Nc
Namara placed dynamite in the
American Central Life building, he
would also Investigate the charges
that the find was planted" ."
"I intend to secure every book and
record from the iron workers Office
and present them to the grand
Jury" said Baker Il am not certain
whether the jury can investigate the
manner in which Mcnamara was TAX
en- from the state.
Baker intimated that if he could
make such an investigation he would
probe the methods employed by the
detectives in securing Mcnamara VS.

In an exhaustive article comparing
the merits of the various pavements
now in use in the United States, the
Portland, Ore, Evening Telegram of
April is, sums up as follows:
Asphalt is noiseless in summer,
and also hitulithic, but asphalt has
been proven to have very brief life,
and no satisfactory patching system
has been devised which will keep the
surface in condition after substantial
wear begins. Bitulithic has promise
of being a phenomenon in wearing,
and is easily -" Advocates Of the
wood block believe the time will come
when it will supplant most Of the

lithic, or bitumen concrete, and a

Pledges of money toward the lighting have already been made to some ex- tent during the last six months. Part of that money is already handed in. Now Is the time to make good by cash or pledge.
