Mt. Hood R. R. Go. Makes Improvement

With a large crew of men Twohy
Bros. Portland contractors and railway
construction people, are at work filling
in the long trestle just southeast Of the
Mt. Hood Railway Co. depot and on the
line of that company leading out up the
Hood River gorge. The earth and
stone are being secured along the line
of the o. w. r. & N. Co. west of the
city. here the right of way is being
improved and graded.
The approximate cost of the fill will
be $4,000. A portion Of this will be
borne by the 0-.W. r. & N. Co., which
owns one of the tracks over the fill
jointly with the Mount Hood line.

For Children there is Nothing Better

A cough medicine for children must
help their cough and colds without bad
effects on their little stomach and bowels
Foley's Honey and Tar exactly fills this
needs. No opistes, no sour stomach,
no constipation follows its use. Stuffy
colds, wheezy breathing, coughs and
Group are all quickly helped, and sweet
refreshing slumber instead OF feverish
tossing at nights. 1t is easy therefore
understand why an increasiny number
of bottles of Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound is sold yearly. For sale by

THE FATE OF ADRIANoPLE.

Adrianople. the storm centre around
which the negotiations OF the repre-
sentatives of the allies and turks at
London has so long revolved. on the
fate of which the issue of peace or
resumption of hostilities. including
probably, the immediate expulsion OF
the Turks from Europe. has so long
hung. and which at last the latter nave
agreed to cede to the victorious aliies'
has bcen a storm centre aforetime
Time and again it has been bone
of contention-the scene OF oau'le
and siege, of heroic defense. and OF
humiliating capitulation.
More than once the scale of empire
has turned upon it. Adrianople ngured
dramatically and repeatedly IN history
generations before it was captured
nv the Turks. and became the first
capital of the ottoman power on the
European continent. 1t was at Uska-
dana, as Adrianople was ancientiy
known, that Constantine the Great
overthrow Licinius. and estabhsheo
himself as supreme, and only few
wears later it witnessed the annihil-
alton of the hosts of Nalens by the
VisigOths.
There also Baldwin, the Latin En-
peror of Constantinople. met with
crushing disaster before the legions
of Car Kaloyan of Bulgaria.

LETTING RICHMOND CONTRACTS

The Administrative Board is attack
ing here and there isolated parts of
one OF Richmond's grave municipal
problems, the getting of public work
done promptly and efficiently. The
idea of putting an extra force of men
TO work by electric light TO finish the
long-drawn-out paving of Broad Street
is somewhat in the nature of an anti
climax. II the people and the bust
ness men have endured patiently this
long. why worry about a month or two
more? Perhaps the weather will re-
main fair enough to keep the street
passable until the car company and the
contractor finish the terrible task of
putting down seven blocks of new con-
struction. The weather is really the
most important factor in determining
when Richmond work is completed.
II will always excuse delay, for in the
case of the Mayo Bridge the
foods and bad weather were ample
reason for securing an extension OF
time. while in the case of Broad Street
fair weather enables the contractor to go
II easy. since the street is not as bad as
it would be in worse weather. The
idea of making a small allowance for
weather conditions and then slamminG
the Job through regardless does not
seem 10 appeal 10 Richmond.
A real constructive step has been
taken by the Administrative Board in
ordering the insertion of advertise
ments for bids on the further paving OF
Broad Street and on the drawing of
plans and specifications for the new
Free Bridge in technical magazines OF
national circulation We trust that
is the beginning OF a consisten policy
of getting the work done by the firm
that can do il cheapest and best,
whether il be a Richmond concern or
not. If the local contractor can meet
the conditions set, by all means favor
him: if he cannot, give il to the firm
that can. The policy of fostering home
industries at the expense of the whole
city is bad economics and based on a
fanacy. This is especially true here.
where contractors have not returned
the favors granted them by earnest
efforts TO help the city get its work
done.
The real problem before the board.
therefore. is not what to do about con
tracts already let. but to begin the for
mutation of precise and clear-cut poll
cies in regard 10 the future. There
are Just two principles to be observed;
specify in the contracts exactly what
is to be done. and second. add a heavy
penalty, automatically collected, for
every day of failure to complete these
specifications after set date Add
to this a provision that this penalty
must be paid, and the time taken on
public works will not be the desperate
Jest IL is now
For the benefit of the contractor We
suggest that other cities have found it
cheaper to rush work with a big pay
roll for a few months. and so cut down
all overhead charges, than to have
heavy daily charge for long time
while q small force dilly-daliies along.
