ON THE SEWER
CONTRACTS

The gigantic municipal excavator
owned by the Jan Construction COM
pany, is working night and day in
order to finish the big Center street
sewer on contract time, or by Febru-
ary 18th. The big ditch started on
Center street near the river with a
depth of 20 feet, and five feet wide.
The company has now run the ditch
to the intersection of Church and
Court streets, where the sewer con.
meets with that on Court street.
where the cut is but three feet in
width and 10 feet deep.
In the course Of construction many
difficulties have arisen, not the least
of which has been the unstable ma
ture Of the ground This has caused
many cave-ins along the line and has
set the work back considerably.
Many people are taking advantage Of
the opportunity to see modern ma

The Business Mems League held
its regular meeting last night, and,
besides transacung the regular rou-
tine business, elected Roland X.
Page as president, DR.. OHnger hav-
ing resigned, and also discussed mat
ters of interest to the league. Mr..
Page was member of the board Of
directors, and E. T. Barnes was Sc
lected to fill his place.
Considerable discussion was in
dulged in as to the advisability of
amending the constitution of the
league so as to give it jurisdiction
over the advertising of the members,
the league now having jurisdiction
over solicitors. 1t was finally decid-
ed to have an amendment prepared,
and when it Is submitted the subject
will be thoroughly threshed out.
Much opposition was found last night
to it.
With the view of creating more in
terest in the affairs of the league,
and bringing out better attendance
committee was appointed to pre-
pare a banquet for the first meeting
in January, and also to arrange for
the holding of a kangaroo court.
Councilman Lafky appeared be-
fore the league, and talked at length
relative to means to be adopted TO
sweep the hard surfaced streets. He
represented that it would cost con-
siderable money, and desired an ex-
preston of the business men on the
subject before the item was put in
the annual budget. No definite ex-
preston was given.
To Secure Better Rate.
A letter was received from Ed
ward M. Cousins, the rate expert em-
ployed by the league to obtain bet
ter rates. 1t is as follows, and is
self-eXplanatory:
Portland, Dec. z.
Business Mems League, Salem, Or.
"Gentlemen: On the 30th of this
month | shall deliver the first in
stallment Of the goods in the freight
rate controversy. Upon that date. as
you will find by asking your railroad
agent to show you Supplement 22 to
Westbound TarJf All, top Of page
50, the class rate from all eastern
points to all Willamette valley points
will be the same as to Portland.
That much Of our case is there
fore satisfactorily disposed of, for
the present at least. The special
commodity rates are still in process
of adjustment, but a favorable con-
clusion of the entire case is expected
shortly.
ut has been a somewhat tedious
proceeding with many obstacles to
overcome, but we have at last Sc
cured substantial recognition of our
contention.
II hope before long to report fur
ther progress with the other rates,
but feel that even this much is quite
gratifying. Very truly yours.

SALEM HEIGHTS
LEAGUE WILL
HAVE "DOINGS"
WILL HAVE BIG CELEBRATION
SATURDAY EVENING IN HONOR
OF THE COMPLETION OF
SCHOOL HOUSE, HALL AND
OTHER BUILDINGS.

With a new hall just completed, a
school house, two stores and a pho
tograph gallery established, members
Of the Salem Heights Improvement
League last evening assembled at the
school house and made preparations
for celebrating the growth of that
section of the city by holding grand
opening Saturday night.
The affair will be held in the new

ticipate by holding a handkerchief
bazaar, and serving lunch. The pro-
gram arranged will consist of music,
song and speeches Interest among
the members last night ran high and
the affair promises to be one of the
best attended of its kind ever held in
the county.
Many Improvements Made.
Not long ago all that Salem
Heights could boast was a photo
graph gallery. The gallery is still
there but many improvements have
been made to it. e. G. Lantz is the
proprietor, and he is also the proprie-
tor Of the Peoples Mercantile Store.
He carries In stock a complete line
Of groceries, notions, mill feed and
grain The other store referred to is
Heals grocery store, and he also
carries good stock Of goods.
The schoolhouse was completed
and equipped some time ago and is
now doing service. 1t is a substan-
tial structure and we'll equipped.
The new hall has just been finished
and is modern in interior arrange
ment and equipment. The lot upon
which 1t stands was donated to the
league by F. A. Thompson and for
mally turned over to the league last
night.
Recently Incorporated.
The league recently filed articles Of
incorporation with the secretary of
state After making a few changes
the old constitution and bylaws
were adopted 1t can boast of a
good membership, and all of them
are working hand in hand and shoul-
der to shoulder for Salem heights.

WILLAMETTE
IS TO HAVE
A FINE FIELD

Ancient Willamette field will soon
be thing of the past, in fact as we'll
as in name, for the big athletic stad-
ium is to be partially filled in and
the field is to be rechristened This
change is due to the efforts of Coach
Sweetland who has an Unsuitable am
bition for Willamette to have the
best athletic field in the Northwest.
He is instilling some of his enthusi-
asm into the hearts of the students,
with a result that every evening
scores of them are appearing in their
overalls and working clothes to do
the bidding of the energetic coach.
Dr. Sweetland's plan is to level off
the field and to raise it in the center
about two feet, sloping it toward the
sides so that there will be a perfect
drainage. For this purpose all of the
dirt along the fence and up next to
the gymnasium will be used and the
students are working, rain or shine,
to accomplish this end. All Of the
work is being done by the students
and without remuneration of any
kind except the consciousness of
seeing a good piece of work well
done. When this work is completed
it will give Willamette perfect field
and will help toward furnishing the
old school with better teams to up
hold her standards.
Plans are also on foot to christen
the field and all the students are
rummaging through the dusty shelves
of their memories in an endeavor to
find something that will just suit
and thus giving them the honor of
having named the historic field.
