SAYS HALT SHOULD Be
CALLED IN PAVING HERE
Mayor Thinks 1t Would Be Well to
Undertake No Big Projects for
While in Capital City.
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP OF
WATER PLANT NOT DEMANDED
Mayor Says He Finds That People Are
Not Favoring This Proposition to
Any Great Extent.

That halt should be called in street
paving and stock taken of what has al.
ready been accomplished was one of
the big features of the message Of May.
or Sleeves at the council meeting last
evening The mayor also created much
interest when he stated that the people
Of Salem were not interested particu.
larly in the requirement of water
system, and he believed il to be poor
policy to push the proposition at this
time. One reason he assigned for the
attitude Of the people was the fact that
bond issues for sewer improvements
had been made, and 'there was opposi.
tiOn to adding to the large amount that
would be needed to finance a water
proposition.
The mayor discussed the bonded in,
debtedness Of the city az some length

While the mayor believed in play.
grounds, he was opposed to spending
any considerable amount on the projects
at this time.
He believed some change should be
made in the method Of assessments Of
street improvements.
The chief Of police aud his men
should be under the mayor and the
charter should be amended to make this
change possible he said.

SCHOOL CENSUS IS
UP FOR DISCUSSION
Checking Agent Makes His Final Re
Port in Regard to Work and Finds
Hundreds of Names.
WOMAN OFFERS DEFENSE
THAT PARENTS TO BLAME

sents Instinuation She Did Not Per-

A hot argument ensued last night at
the school board meeting when the dis.
rict census takers, appointed by the
board several months ago, and Amos
Long, a checking agent, selected by the
directors made their final reports, The
special agent hired by the board raised
quite a furry when he reported that, in
going over the work done by the regu.
lar census agents, he fond that the list
was GAS short, and that he discovered
several names which appeared on the
list to be exceedingly unreliable as to
their owners qualifications as residents
of the district.
Mrs. NJ. E. Watson, one Of the cen.
sus takers, then took the floor and
grew rather indignant because Mr.
Long intimated that she had not per.
formed her work as well as she
should have. She explained that she
took the census as accurately as possible
and that she did not include a name on
the list but was told her by those she
visited.

Mr.. Long reported that he went over
the territory covered by Mrs. Watson
and the other census taker, Mrs Penn,
and located s69 new names, superin.
tendent Kuntz then reported that he
succeeded in securing 2s5 names with.
out going to the trouble of leaving his
office.
Chairman Holt explained that the
board did not want any unlawful names
on the 1913 list, and recommended that
tho work Of the three census takers be
received and placed ON file. He said
that there has been some very flagrant
work going on, and that it was evident
that Mrs, Wilson and Mrs. Penn had

Thousands Of Indians! Regular U. s. Soldiers
Don't Fail TO See these Extraordinary Pictures
Was Model Young Man

The death of Carl Stone which
occurred last week was a most
distressing one. Just when he
was in the full glory of his bud
ding young manhood and life
was just opening out i'm its
brightest and most alluring as
pect. and when il was so good to
live and so hard to die. he was
called TO his home on high.
Bright, clean, industrious, faith
ful, affectionate. kind and
gentle, with no vicious habits
of any nature, he was a model
young man and a loving son and
brother. He was the main sup
port of a widowed mother and
younger brother, and for some
time had been a trusted employe
of the S. Z. a. S. Railway Com
pany. Stricken with that dread
disease, typhoid fever, he linger-
ed along in the full hope of soon
being restored TO his usual good
health. when death came. His
passing away is a severe blow to
his mother, for whom he had a
wonderful affection, and his two
brothers, and the community
suffers the loss of one of its best
and most promising young men
at the early age of Fl years.
Truly the ways of Providence
are at times beyond compre-
hension, but we must believe
that it was all for the best. and
that God wants some of earth's
brightest jewels for his own.

The decorations consisting of

Halloween favors were won by

The general impression exist

in supporting President Wilson
in the repeal of the toll bill.
The opinion of the majority Of

that he was right in voting for
the repeal; the honor of the ma

would seem too selfish on the
