Il. W. Geiger Construction COM
pany bid less than s1.OO per square

The city of Salem is the first city
in the state of Oregon that has the
opportunity to get a Arst class hard
surface pavement at less than $1,0O
per square yard
When the city council opened the
bids for the paving Of High and Cen
ter streets last Monday night, It was
found that the E. W. Gelger Con-
struction company, Of Salem, offered
to do the work for 81 cents per
square yard, with corresponding
cut in the excavation all, curbs and
drains
The Monlgue-0'Rellly company, Of
Portland bid on No. III oso pave
ment and their price for the paving
OF High street Is $23,936.S4, while the
e, W.. Gelger company. of Salem,
want $14,6O2.OS for their "Geiger

latters bid is $9,S3i76 under that Of

Seattle, March 6.-With 28O pre-
cincts out OF 2lattoS1cincts (
cincts out of a total of 2S1 reporting
their votes, unofficial returns this
afternoon indicated that George f.
Cotterill is elected mayor by ma
jority Of between 500 and 800 votes.
A re-check Of the count may change
the figures to some extent, but a ma
jority Of 500 is considered conserv-
ative estimate Of one of the most hot
ly contested elections in the history
of this city.
The single tax amendment is appar-
emily defeated overwhelmingly.
The Bogue plan for a "City Beauti-
full" which was prepared at a cost OF
$4,000, have been rejected.
All Of the four Socialist candidates
for city offices apparently have been
defeated.

Seattle, March 6.-The single tax
Is apparently defeated overwhelm-
ingly. Twenty precincts show a
three to one vote against the meas
ure and as these returns are from
various sections, they probably indi-
cate the sentiment of the entire city.
Thirty precincts give the single
tax 9S6 and 1856 against. AS It re-
Quires a three-fifth vote to carry, the
single tax advocates have already
conceded defeat.
The measure was submitted as a
charter amendment along with 26
others The numerous propositions
on the ballot are given as one rea-
son for the defeat of the measure.
The terminal plans have evidently
carried by safe margin, while the
Bogue civic plans have been defeat

REGISTRATION is
WAY BEHIND TIME

AT the close of business at the
clerks office last evening the total
registration for the ten Salem pre-
cincts was 1881. Two years ago the
total for the six Salem precincts
which correspond in territory with
the ten as now created, was 251S at
the close of registration before the
general election
Taking in account the growth of the
city during the past two years there
should be about 5000 voters in the II
Salem precincts now, which shows
that not half Of the voters have reg.
istered yet.

People Do Honor Upright Judge

day in Tacoma to warn Judge Cushman, the new
federal judge, against the "maligners." you will
always be subject to criticisms of those whom you
are called upon to decide against, . said Hanford.
Facts right here in Washington brand Han

George Donworth was ON the federal bench over
two years, yet during all that time not breath OF
suspicion raised against him; not whisper OF
charge made against him.
Judge Rudkin has been ON the federal bench for
over year and he has heard nothing but praise for
his conduct and his decisions.
The people do respect and honor an upright and

If Judge is fair and honest judge to the peo-
pie, the people will be more than fair and just in

MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Feb. 24.--While more or less irregular the cotton market was generally steady today with the close net two points net lower, to points higher. near months being relatively higher.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 4@S points on the old crop, while new crop positions were about 1 to higher Near months respond ed to lower Liverpool cables than expected and continuation of the scattering liquidation noted yesterday.
 There was no sign of support from the leading bulls but Wall Street was a considerable buyer to cover shorts and the general market worked up a few points during the morning in the absence of aggressive offerings; clos ing within point or two of the best on all positions.
 Uncertainty concerning the English labor situation still seemed to be re. stricting general business, but the tone of the market was helped this morning by favorable reports from do. mestic goods circles and southern spot advices, indicating that while de- mand had slackened, holders were generally steady to firm at prices above a parity with local contracts.

MOVEMENT UNDERTAKEN.

The Roanoke Baptist church, cor ner Wilmington avenue and Ozark street, has undertaken to fill long felt waAt among the colored people of this city Plans are now being made for a new brick church that is to cost about $35,O00. This is the beginning of a movement to establish an Institutional church on that cor ner for the protection and uplift of the young people here and those who may come here.
 It is to be remembered that there is no library or reading room in this city to which the colored people have access. It will also be remembered that there are many young men who come here as walters and for other purposes. many of whom come from good homes, and because of the lack of some good place to go many of them drift, for their amusements, in to questionable places. These places into which many of them drift not only help to destroy the young men, but also unfit them for good service This church has the endorsement oi many of these walters in it's effort to make a good place for the uplifl of the young.
 It is the hope that some friend who is interested in this movement will come to their rescue at this needy time. They need more land neal them and they also need more money to push forward the work already un dertaken. We are sure that it will be easily seen that in the absence oi parks. libraries, reading rooms, etc. that this is a step in the right diree tion The pastor, $. E. J. Watson can be reached over the phone and will gladly explain the movement tC any who may be interested.
