D STREET is
To BE PAVED
WITH EL-OSO

Irate because the city council in
one Of its clownish moods, at a pre-
vious meeting, had voted down the
notice declaring that an assessment be
levied for the improvement Of D
street with El-Oso pavement, all the
property owners, save one, on the
street last evening, through the
street committee, petitioned the coun-
Gil to reconsider its action, and their
wishes were complied with.
The plans and specifications for
this improvement had been adopted
and when the notice declaring that ar
assessment be levied for the impr we
ment came up at a meeting a week
ago the council deliberately voted it
down, though there had been no re-
monstrance. The property owners or
the street, realizing that unless some
thing was done Immediately, the
mossback methods of the city faith
ers would kill the improvement for
the season, conferred with the street
committee, and all, save one solitary
property owner, Joined in a resolu-
ton asking for the improvement.
Being left without any grounds at
all upon which to base a protest
against the improvement of this
street, the council reconsidered its
action, and passed a resolution d.
recting the city recorder to publish
the notice.

UNLAWFUL TO
MONKEY WITH
The HYDRANTS

An ordinance making it unlawful
for any person to open or in any way
interfere with the fire hydrsnts of
the city without permission or au-
thority from the chief of the fire de-
partment was passed last evening by
the council, and, unless the mayor,
because of some freak reason, should
veto it, the bill will in few days
become law.
Councilman Elliott is the father of
the ordinance and indicated a week
ago that he would introduce such a
measure. The fire hydrants are the
property of the city and are complete
ly under its control, and measure
of that kind forbidding any one but
the proper authorities tampering
with them has long been needed.
Several weeks ago fire broke out in
South Salem, and the department was
hampered in combating it, because
hydrant was out of commission
Whether the hydrants had been tam
pered with or not was not then deter
mined. but an investigation disclosed
that there was no law forbidding it,
and it was that which prompted the
introduction and passage of the
measure.

BITULITHIC
ORDERED FOR
EAST STATE

After listening to letter from Ro-
land X. Page, manager of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power com
pany, and upon being assured that
the property owners who remonstrat-
ed against the improvement of East
State street, had withdrawn their OBJ
jections, the city council last evening
directed that the work of improving
that street with bitulithic be done
under the specifications adopted
some time ago, and, unless unfor-
seen obstacles appear the improve

A remonstrance was presented

completed before the rainy season. In
a letter last evening, however he as

TO FORFEIT
FRANCHISE OF
WEIGH ROAD

Declaring that the Portland, Eu-
gene & Eastern Railroad company
has failed to comply with the terms
of the franchise granted it by the
city, the city council last evening
passed a resolution directing the city
attorney to take the legal steps nee
essary to forfeit the franchise.
1t was alleged in the resolution
that the company had violated its
franchise by failing to comply with
that portion of it relating to a street
car service between the city and the
fair grounds. AS further grounds for
forfeiting the franchise it was assert
ed in it that the company had failed
to remove certain poles which it had
been directed to move; that it had
failed to complete its work on Ferry
street, and that it had also failed TO
get its track ready for contemplated
improvements on other streets in the
city.
The resolution was passed by a
unanimous vote.

.SELLS-FLOTO
Big CIRCUS
is COMING

Speaking of the visit of the Sells
Floto shows to Seattle last season the
Star had this to say:
There are three vital defects in
the Sells-Floto circus. In the first
place, you pay only 25 cents to see
it; in the second place, the employees
are all civil, even courteous; and
thirdly, there is no grating in the
show.
Whoever heard of civil ticket
seller in a circus? Whoever con-
ceived of circus without pickpockets
and grafters? And, finally whoever
expected to see a real big tent show
for % cents
Surely, Mr.. Hammer, one of the
owners Of the show, is ignoring Gus
tom. Perhaps the public is pleased
with the policy. 1t would seem So
as 1000 people were turned away
from the big tent last night. If you
arrived after o'clock you didn't see
the inside of the main tent. The dis
appointed ones, instead of returning
home, found solace in the sideshows
"Of course, it was the same old
time sideshow, hut you saw it all for
dime. Two or three thousand peo-
pie were turned away in the after
noon as well.
"The show itself is not quite as ex.
tensive as some which Seattle has
seen; but that is an attraction in It.
self; you can see 1t all. When Il
comes to paying so cents to go tc
the oldtime eight-ring circus or 2y
cents to Sells-Floto lot of fellows
will choose the latter.
"The equestrian acts are better
than any circus ever brought to Seat
tie. The clowns are good, with sew
eral brand new acts. The famous
Nelson family, who know no peers II
acrobatic work and the Borsines, will
their rolling globe, are top-liners IL
the tent work. None of the 18 bis
acts is unworthy the largest show IL
the country"
The Sells-Floto Shows come to Sa
lem on Thursday, June s. The popu
lar price remains the same and thu
show itself has been enlarged to al
most double the size of former years

GEORGE wASHINGTON's QUEUE
1t Hid a Luxuriant Suit of Straight
and Very Dark Hair.

The Father of his Country con-
cealed a luxuriant suit of hair be-
meath his queue wig. Many now
wish the old fashion were in vogue,
to conceal thinned hair or badness.
Yet no one need have thin hair nor
be bald, if he cure the dandruff that
causes both. Dandruff can not be
cured by securing the scalp, because
it is a germ disease, and the germ
has to be killed. Newbro's Herpi-
eide kills the dandruff germ-no 9TH
er hair preparation will. Destroy
the cause, you remove the effect" "
There's no cure for dandruff but to
kill the germ. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send 10 cents in stamps for
sample to The Herpicide Co., De-
troit, Mich. One dollar bottles guar
anteed.-J. c. Perry, Druggist.

The Salem Capital Journal plainly ntimates that the
reason why Mayor Lachmund vetoed the pure water
ordinance that friend chad bet up with him
that he would not veto the ordinance. The mayor, it
appears, had given abundant previous that
he would help pass the ordinance and for this correct
attitude the Journal thinks he was truly "sport"
He appears to have played the role to- the end.
The Salem Statesman thinks the mayor has written
the word failure in large letters his admins
tration, but promises that Saem will get over Lach-
mund," for it must and will have pure water
An eX-mayor of Salem, Mr. Rodgers, progressive
man, has public interview in the Statesman in which
he depores the predicament of the city, which gets it's
water from the Willamette river and calls on the pub
lie to get past the of the boiling and have pure
water other way.
The way to pure water at Salem is long and trouble
some. Long time the people there said the water
good enough Finally they became persuaded that no
water but the best is good enough, and they set
about to get it. They will doubtless have to recover
from Lachmund.
Pure water at Salem is not alone Salem's affair."

IMPROVEMENTS AT GREEN
WOOn

There is being quite deal of inn
provemeGt made at Greenwood Park.
The grand stand which was destroyed
by fire over a year ago, is in course
of erection, but vii not be as large as
the old one. 1t will be more modern
in every respect. There has also
been erected a modern kitchen and
an up-to-date dining-hall for the con-
venience of the patrons, who will Wis
it the park during the summer, as
well as for the handling of the large
crowd that is expected to attend the
chautauqua. Another improvement
that has been added to the park and
which will prove an attraction is the
opening of a riding school which was
announced by the manager of the park
last week. The school will be in
charge of a gentleman who owns a
horse that will rival the celebrated
Jim Key in intelligence. 1t is con-
templated that lessons in riding and
driving will be given each afternoon
as soon as the weather opens up.
Scores of additional shade trees are
also being put out. All of these i'm
provements are being made so the
park can open with the beginning of
the spring and summer season.
