FIGHT LOOMS OVER
BRIDGE SITE
COURT TO HOLD HEARING IN
DALLAS ON SATURDAY.
Residents Feast of City Cannot Agree
on Location for Proposed Bridge
Over LaCreole.

Bridge matters on the LaCreole
will occupy the attention Of the Polk
court on Saturday, when a hearing
will be held relative TO the location
of the proposed bridge east of the
city. This bridge has been cOntem-
plated by the court for some time,
and recently it was decided to locate
it about three miles east of Dallas,
where the Monmouth road crosses the
Salem, Falls City & Western tracks
at Bowersville. Atferward, hOwev-
er, the people living nearer the city,
and who have constructed a road
from the Salem road on the north,
made a showing to the court tending
to prove that -their proposed location,
mile west of the other site, was
best suited to the needs Of the com
munity, and presented a long petition
citing such allegations. Ii is to de-
eide the question that the court has
consented to reopen the question and
hence the hearing on Saturday.
Residents contiguous 10 the former
location. declare that the railroad
company has promised them, if the
bridge is built there, that a station
building will be erected at Bowers
Vile and a side track put in for their
accommodation. At this site the
bridge would connect with no north
and south road but the people liv-
ing in that vicinity have. it Is said,
agreed 10 build one which would
connect with the Salem road on the
north.
The entire matter will be threshed
ont al the Saturday meeting.
Bids for the proposed bridges
which the court will build in differ
ent portions Of the county will be
opened on Monday and the contracts
let u j. said that mueh interest
has been manifested In this work
By contractors and some very favor
able estimates are expected.

FINDS THREE INDICTMENTS
AGAINST MAIL CLERK AND
HAS RECOMMENDATIONS
IN JUVENILE CASES.
YOUTHS MUST FACE JUDGE
Recommendations by Jury Include
New and Modern Jail For County !:
Officials Praised; Smallpox Quar-
antine Balks Full Investigation of
Grande Ronde Matters.

Returning three indictments
against Fred Stevenson, compA-
menting the county officials upon the
management of their offices, declar-
ing that the county Jail was manag-
ed in as clean and satisfactory a
manner as possible but suggesting
that the county is badly in need of
new and sanitary Jail; suggesting
that the prosecuting attorneys of
flee take up certain matters pertain
ing to youthful incorrigibles, the
Polk county grand jury submitted its
report to Judge Percy R. Kelley on
Wednesday noon and we're discharg-
ed for the balance of the term.
True Bills Returned.
The only true bills returned were
three indictments against Fred
Stevenson, the mail clerk bound
over to the grand jury on charge
Of indecent exposure alleged to have
been committed in the Southern Pa
cific railway yards in Dallas. In in
vestigating this charge the jury also
brought out further evidence, it is
stated, which induced them to bring
the additional indictments covering
other alleged criminal acts.
Many other matters were consid-
cred but it is impossible to learn
their import. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the alleged ringleaders in
the youthful pilfering gang will be
tried by the juvenile court for their
conduct while the younger members
of the gang have been discharged af-
ter promising the officials that they
would conduct themselves in a more
circumspect manner in the future.
This matter will be heard by Judge
Teal at once, or as soon as the dis
trict attorneys Office is in position
to handle it.
1t is also reported that the jury
investigated certain alleged irregu-
larities on the Grande ROnde Indian
reservation but could not complete
their work in this regard owing to
the prevalence of smallpox and the
fact that several of the witnesses
wanted were quarantined.
The portion of the report bearing
upon the county officials and the con-
duct of their offices is as follows:
eve have Investigated the county
Offices including the county Jail and
find such offices well kept and the
officers attentive to their duties; and
have found the county Jail as clean
and sanitary as possible, but find
same too small and old for present
conditions and we recommend that a
new Jail larger, modern and sanitary
in its construction be built"
Although Stevenson, the accused
mail clerk has been regularly run
ming into Dallas and was in the city
ON his regular run on Tuesday, when
the grand jury was investigating his
case, he failed to appear IN court
when his name was called and there
bv forfeited his bail. He was ar
rested in Portland upon his arrival
there on his regular run Tuesday
night and brought back to this elty
Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff Henry
Saverv who went after HIM.
