FRIENDS BOOST L. II. ROBERTS
FOR COUNCILMAN

The people of the Fifth ward are
faced with the necessity Of writing in
the name Of a candidate for alderman
for the long term or voting for Mr., f.
c. Minton the nominee. Mr.. Minton is
the sole nominee for the long term
owing to the withdrawal of j. D, Tur-
ner, who declined to make the race.
Many Of the people Of the ward who
are friendly TO Mr. l.. II. Roberts pro-
pose to vote for that gentleman by
writing his name in the ballot, Mr..
Roberts has lived in that ward for
several years and during that time has
done much for building It up. He has
built a large twO-story concrete store
building, has acquired splendid
home, and although not a member Of
that denomination did much toward
the building Of Jason Lee Methodist
church. His friends are confident that
he will make a good councilman and
propose to write his name in the bal
lot. Voters should remember that his
name should be written in the blank
space for the long term and marked
with an X, just as though the name
were printed. Paid adyt.

Why It does not suffice to Austria to

reason why Austria wishes to place

And, finally, this is why, despairing

He who wishes to grasp the real

the Balkan allies has only to raise his
glance so that it will embrace the en-

been created for Austria by the un-

That Oregon receives $65,JS3, in
cluding the 10 per cent from the reg
ular % per cent fund from the receipts
from the national forests for road
building is information received by
Governor West from w. NJ. Hays, act
ing secretary of the interior The
communication further says that $6,-
600 has been set aside by the depart
ment from the regular road improve
nent fund for the Ashland road in the
Crater national forest. The communi-
cation to the governor follows in part:
THE list of road projects, submitted
to you by the district forester under
date Of November s, has been approx
ed in full, with authority to the dis
trict forester to apply the unallotted
S9G42l, which he suggests be retained
until later as a contingent according
to his own judgment
you will also be interested in
learning that $4,000 of the regular per-
Imanent Improvement fund has been
ALLOTTED to the Ashland road within
the Crater national forest. This makes
altogether a sum Of S23,O23.S1 devot-
ed to road construction within the ma

funds Of the forest service in addi-
tion to the regular fund consisting Of
% per cent Of the receipts Of the ma

be paid to the public school and road
funds Of the counties in which the ma
honal forests are located. This sum
for the entire state of Oregon for the

Before the
Election
GueSSeS

Speculations are being made today
by Salem voters as to who will be the
successful candidates, and what the
fate Of several measures will be when
the votes are counted for the city
election Monday
There is considerable dissension in
the fifth ward over the election Of al
dermen. For a time It appeared as
though c. E. Minton would have a
clear field by reason Of John D, Tur-
ner's declination to be a candidate for
the two-year-term, but those who OPP
posed the former soon placed l., II.
Roberts in the race, who, 1t is de-
clared, is meeting with much encour-
agement from the voters, both male
and female, in the fifth ward Mr..
Roberts consented to run only after
the insistent requests Of friends.
Hills friends have been making a
vigorous campaign in the fifth ward,
and they claim a complete victory in
sofar as the candidate for the short
term is concerned. Hill is also con
fdent he will be reelected, and also
predicts that L. H, Roberts will re-
celve a majority for the long term.
Hill declares that so far he has not
met with any serious opposition, and
hopes to secure a good majority in
spite Of the fact that there has been
quite a mix-up in his ward over Tur-
ner's switching
The chief Of police race is probably
the most hotly contested in the pres
ent campaign d. W. Gibson is con-
fident, and his opponent Frank sche-
deck, is equally so, 1t is probably
matter Of friends in this race, both be-
ing about equally divided
Both candidates are making a clean
fight, and friends of each are making
no special effort, so far as can be seen,
but are content to leave their choice
in the hands of the voters in general.
As a police chief, Gibson is spoken of
as being equally as good as any ever
filling the office, and as a patrolman,
Shedeck is the recipient of much en-
couraging comments
The bond issue is burning one.
Some are confident that it will fail to
carry, while others proclaim its vic
tory by large majorities in every ward,
$3SO,00O is the consideration in bonds,
which the vote next Monday will either
authorize the council to issue or forbid
the issuance, In order to meet the OBJ
legation incurred from the bonds, the
bill proposes that an additional assess
ment be levied yearly. There will be
$4,000 principal and $4,000 interest
to be paid next year, in the event the
bond issue carries.
The bill authorizing the council to
set aside $500 yearly for the support
and maintenance of band is meeting
with considerable favor according to
some. Salem is without regular mu-
sical organization at present and 1t is
the general opinion that city OF this
size should support a band.

WILL invoke
SUPREME COURT
Board of The State Will Not be Al
lowed to Raise Assessment Again
This Year.

Muskogee, Okla, June s. r. If the
state excise board attempts to raise
the valuation of Muskogee county
property for taxable purposes as it
arbitrarily did last year, the power of
the supreme court of the United States
will be invoked against it. This is the
gist of plan of action agreed upon
by the Muskogee county commission
ers Thursday, Mr. Swanson acting as
spokesman for the commissioners
now sitting as board of equalization
and they are investigating into the
assessed value of practically every
piece of properly in the county. 1t has
been decided that Assessor Coon put
the property on the duplicate at its
actual cash value, and this has been
completely demonstrated by the kicks
of the hundreds of taxpayers who
have called and asked for relief.
In discussing the matter Thursday
Mr.. Swanson said: IF the state board
arbitrarily raises the value of Musko-
gee property this year, the commits
siOners will resist the action as a body
and will stand all the expenses of the
contest. Last year the property own
ers had to make the fight as indiyid-
uals and for this reason the small
property owners who could not afford
a lawsuit had to pay taxes on basis
largely in excess of the actual cash
value of their property. 1t will be diff
ferent this year and the commissions
ers want to say in advance that the
county as a unit will make the fight
this year in the event that the assess
ment is raised"
The fact that the assessor of Guth-
rie returned the property of that city
at a valuation of less than $6,000,000
while the city of Muskogee is. assessed
for more than $30,0O0,000, is an indi-
cation of how values are being lower
ed on the west side. 1t is the general
belief that Muskogee is now paying
more than it's share of the cost of
operating the state government and
this will be tolerated no longer.

VACUUM CLEANERS BANlsH DUST
CAPS.

Sweeping a house used to be a try
ing ordeal for any woman. After put
ting on the Oldest clothes the hair was
covered with a dust cap and the work
began. With the first stroke of the
broom the dust began to rise in clouds
and soon it was filtering all over the
house to settle on the curtains, the
woodwork, the furniture, the pictures
and on everything else After the
sweeping was done the whole house
had to be gone over with damp cloth
to remove this coating of dust And,
quite obviously, the curtains and he
walls were not busted each time the
floor was swept
Those who suffered with throat or
lung trouble often found that the dust
raised by the process of sweeping al
most overcame them and made sweep
ing day the bane of their lives. 1t re-
manned for an inventive genius to per
feet the electric vacuum cleaner which
sweeps and dusts at the same time
The vacuum cleaner sweeps thorough
ly and does not kick up the clouds OF
dust like a broom. The strong suction
draws even the most minute particles
of dirt into the reservoir where it re-
mains until the cleaning is done and
the contents are emptied into the fur
mace and carried away.
Vacuum cleaners suck up the dust
and dirt. A small but powerful cleo
tric motor, concealed in the body OF
the device, operates a vacuum pump.
A revolving brush loosens the dust
and dirt from the floor or carpet ard
the cleaner picks it up Immediately by
a strong current of air which is sucked
in through the nozzle This dirt is
deposited in a dirt receptacle as fast
as it is collected.
1t costs but little to operate the
cleaner as it can be readily attached
to the nearest lamp socket and fe-
quires no more current than an ordi-
nary lamp. Being provided with a
long section of flexible hose, and suit
able nozzles, the vacuum cleaner can
be used to clean the pictures, the bed
and bedding. the furniture and even
the walls and curtains. The small
motor does all the work and it is only
necessary to guide the nozz e to the
object to be cleaned and tie machine
will do the rest.
