Large Tract Not Necessary
for Profitable Poultry Raising
TO REDECK Big BRIDGE
steel Structure Over willamette Rlv-
er at West salem to be Repaired
at Once.

Bids were awarded last night by
the city council Of Salem for the re-
decking of the big bridge over the
Willamette river at West Salem. This
work will be paid for jointly by Polk
and Marion counties and the city Of
Salem. 1t is said that the present
planking on the bridge had become
badly dilapidated and It'll s necessary
that the repairs be undertaken at
once. The work will be done during
the night time in order that the
heavy traffic may not be disturbed
more than is absolutely necessary.
That the bridge is still in a safe
condition for the hauling Of heavy
loads is evidenced by the fact that
at the present time. immense auto
trucks loaded with four tons of flour
are daily using the structure.

Appreciating as we do this loyal devotion of the
leading business men to this paper we have come
among them with the firm resolve to make it
newspaper, representative of commercial and
social conditions of which every true citizen
within the territory which it serves may be Justly
proud.
