ROOSEVELT SENTIMENT IN JACKSON COUNTY

The Democratic bosses the Republican bosses in Jackson
county have for Roosevelt.
The county clerk Of that county refused to post the petitions
and week afterwards hauled up for withholding public
fees.
One business man at Central Point wrote TO this office for
blank petitions, and in two hours had them all filled.
Practically every business man in Central Point signed the
petitions and especially all the business men.

county, signed by about all the voters in that county
Jackson county is where DR. Keene lives who state central
committeeman brought the suit to set aside the presidential
primary.
All Roosevelt sentiment has been systematically suppressed at

It should be understood that these newspapers control

Are the kind Of methods employed all the United

Why do the grating elements of both political parties fight the
very idea Of such Roosevelt becoming president?
Is 1t instructive and is 1t the natural shrinking and tmdy

But the people will have chance to vote for Roosevelt in

The UNION
STREET SEWER
COMPLETED
DITCH 25 FEET DEEP AND 5 FEET
WIDE AND PIPE 4 FEET IN
DIAMETER NOT AN ACCIDENT
on THE JOB.

The Union street sewer is complet-
ed. This sewer required the largest
pipe and the biggest ditch Of any in
Salem. The pipe measures four feet
and the ditch was 25 feet deep and
flve feet wide This sewer drains
the central part Of the city. One Of
the largest sewer diggers on the
cost was used in digging the ditch
and two donkey engines were used,
one for laying the pipe and one for
back filling. Owing to the machin-
cry used. about $4,000 was saved on
this Job to the property owners.
While the company putting in the
sewer has necessarily blocked the
street a good deal on account Of the
immense amount Of dirt that had to
be handled, everything is back now
where II belongs. Altogether about
10000 cubic yards Of dirt were
moved. No serious accidents hap
pened on this job and Mr.. Nicholas
jain, Jr., who was in charge of the
work is to be highly commended for
the careful manner in which he has
conducted operations.
