How many Salem people realize
the extent of the improving that is
being done in North Salem. North
Summer street, which has been here
tofore an impossible thoroughfare,
has been transformed into one of the
finest residence streets in Salem. A
beautiful redwood tree which stands
in the middle of the street near Mill
creek, and was planted by Judge
Waldo years ago, has been allowed
to remain, and the pavement built
around it. 1t is the only redwood in
this part of the country, and will be-
come one of the sights shown to sisi-
tors of the Capital City. The Oaks
addition is to be paved on all its
streets, and D street is to be paved
for nearly a mile. The Universal
Construction company is putting
down El-Oso pavement on most of
these streets, and at the present time
is employing nearly 200 men. Man
ager Waters, of the Universal Con-
struction company, says when they
are through with that part of the
town, Salem people will not know It,
1t is well worth anybody's time to go
out there and see the big sewer Dig
ger, which digs a ditch 20 feet deep
and at the rate of a block or so a
day, and to see the paving plant on
North Summer street.

San Bernardino, CAL, August l.
Still far beyond control the forest
fire, which for eight days has been
raging on the back of the San Ber-
nardino range, today crept slowly up
City creek canyon toward the big lum
ber mills at yards at Fredalba.
One hundred fire fighters, en-
ployed by the lumber company, made
a strenuous effort to cheek 1t, and by
extensive back firing succeeded, to-
ward noon, in turning the point of
the blaze toward the east.
Reports from all sides of the fire
said that the flames were increasing
in volume. On the east side the fire
worked across the crest into Little
Bear valley. where hundreds of camp
ers had taken refuge. On the west
branch of the fire swept over Devil's
canyon and across the Arrowhead
range. Only good work on the part
of gang under Roger Fickes, at
Waterman canyon, prevented that
section from total destruction. At
Waterman the fire reached the crest
and crossed over.

Boston, Mass, August War on
the United Shoe Machinery company,
the trust which is said to control the
price of practically all the footwear
made in the United States, was
Open<l here today when a federal
grand jury began investigation of it's
activities. 1t is believed that the
probe will land some of the trust
heads in jail.
When the taking of testimony be-
gan before the grand jury, United
States District Attorney French ex-
pected to ask indictments for crimi-
nal violation of the antitrust law.
He avoided the possibility of any i'm
mu2ity baths by calling only the in
dependent shoe manufacturers who
have aided in precipitating the fight
on the trust. Not one of those who
control the United Shoe Machinery
company will be allowed to escape
through giving evidence.
The United Shoe Machinery COM
pany is said to have all but 10 Of the
1,4OO shoe manufacturers in the
United States under it's control.
Contracts with the manufacturers
provide that they shall use only ma
chimes belonging to the trust. No
machines owned by the trust are ever
sold outright, being merely leased
and royalty exacted on every pair
OF shoes manufactured Six cents
per pair is the amount of this royal
ty, which is said to total in the
course of years production to
more than four times the value of
the machine.
The investigation into the opera
tions of the shoe trust was begun
through the efforts of Governor Foss,
OF Massachusetts, and has been con-
tinued by the Shoe Manufacturers

vantages in trade which, 1t was as
serted, were not contained in the Ca
madam reciprocity bill, was finally
adopted after it had been declared
lost by Vice-President Sherman.
The first vote was tie, standing
99 to 80, and Vice-President Sher-
man, exercising for the third time on
an important measure his constitu-
tional prerogative of casting the de-
Gliding vote, declared the measure
lost.
Senator La Follete, of Wisconsin,
whose wool tariff bill was recently
passed under similar procedure,
moved a reconsideration, which car
ried. When the final vote was taken
the tie was broken and the free list
passed.
The measure had already passed
the house. AS passed by the senate it
has been amended and concurrence

The free list is largely a Demo-

passed in the senate, as was the wool
bill, through coalition of the Dem

The progressives, particularly Sen
