MILLER TOLL BRIDGE
TO BE The TARGET

In all probability some concerted &C.
tion will be taken in the near future by
citizens Of Wasco and Sherman counties
to abolish the old Miller toll bridge
across the Deschutes river, according
to A. D. Moe, who returned Monday
from an automobile trip to Wasco.
R. G. Atwood. a prominent business
man of Wasco and manager of the bank
and branch store Of the Wasco Ware
house & Milling Co.. is heading mon
ster petition that is widely signed by
Sherman county citizens and which.
when final signatures have been &C.
cured, will be presented to the Wasco
county court about August l. Mr.. At
wood is circulating copies of the petit
tion himself, and he is sending copies
in automobiles throughout remote parts
of the county. A delegation of Sher-
man county road enthusiasts in bat
terry of 100 automobiles, according to
plans, will call on the Wssco county
court and ask that they cooperate in
the necessary steps to take over the old
bridge, which is now owned by NAL
colin Moody. of The Dalles.
A move similar to that of the Sher-
man county citizens is on foot at The
Dalles. Judd Fish and others will sim.
ultaneously present similar petitions.
1t is said by motorists. who have re.
Gently passed through this city and who
almost unanimously direct criticism
against the two counties for allowing
the toll bridge, which connects the
roads of the two counties, that toll
of 81 is charged for machine crossing
the structure. The actual value of the
bridge is placed at 800, and it is sale
that on many days the total toll re.
ceipts exceed this figure.
Sherman county citizens claim thai
they have long been willing to meet
W asco county half way and take over
the toll bridge. but that the Wasct
county court has always been apathetit
on the matter.
Motorists say that one of the steepes

A new survey. made by the Stat'
Highway Commission, will give a grad,
leading to the bridge of no more thar

WISSLER RETURNS FROM CANADA:
WAR SENDS WAGES SKY HIGH

Wages in Canada, which is hive
of industry, have gone soaring under
stimulus of the great demand for men
and munitions.
This is the observation of Arthur
Wissler, brother of Emory and Frank
Wissler of this city, who has returned
for a months visit from McGill uni
versity at Montreal where he holds a
scholarship in chemistry.
The most ordinary day labor is
worth $3.50 per day, while the man
with trade can easily command a
wage Of $6 or 81.
Over a hundred regiments Of men
have already been sent to the battle
lines in Europe. About 100 other other
regiments are drilling in Canada pre-
pairing for service.
Plants Turn Out Munitions.
Every factory which could make
munitions Immediately converted its
facilities to their production. Other
manufacturers have leased buildings
and equipment and gone into the busi-
ness.

POLITICAL FOES,

SULLIVAN. Ind. Aug. 26.-John A.
N. Adair opened the Democratic cam.
paisn in Sullivan county yesterday as
the principal speaker at the Merom
chautauqua on Democratic day before
q crowd OF $500 persons. The first
part Of his address was devoted en-
tirely to answering the speech Of
James p. Goodrich at Greencastle
last night, which opened the Republic

Adair objected to what he called
the inconsistency of Goodrich's COM
plant that the Democratic party had
created new offices, when at the same
time, in answer to Adair's recent ad-
dresses, he admitted he would not re-
peal single one Of the laws passed
during the Ralston administration.
Adair declared that as long as the
Republican nominee for Governor re-
fuses to stand for repeal of these laws
he has no right to complain on gen.
eral lines, failing to specify what par
ticular portion he would do away with.

CITY WITHIN RIGHTS
IN SELLING fENNSY
GROUND OFF PARK

With the sale of a small strip of
land off Glen Miller park to the Penn.
sylvania railroad, the question has
arisen in the minds of several resi-
dents as to whether the city had a
legal right to do this.
They base their question on an incl
dent which arose seven or eight years
ago. The Young Mems Business club,
which later became part of the Com.
mercial club, at that time urged that
the city lay part of the park off in
lots along Twenty-second street and
sell them.
The club then wanted the city to
use the money received from the sale
of these lots to be used to purchase
the woodland just east of the city
park. 1t was found that the city had
no right to sell land which has been
given it.
The reason that the land could be
sold to the railroad company is be.
cause it was condemned as a right-of-
way and its sale could have been
forced by law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The rail-

acute this afternoon. President Will

The railroad presidents and man

presidential suite OF the Willard hotel.
They had agreed to reject the presi-

The appropriations will be about
$180,000 for the South G street bridge

FEAR OF PHTHIS|S
HAUNTS TWO SONS

Two years ago the world looked
bright and cheerful to Wayne county
mother Of two little boys. Today her
aspects Of life have changed.
Her case has been for some time
under the care of Miss Kennedy,
county tuberculosis nurse
When the woman first discovered
that she was victim OF the white
plague she applied for admission to
the state tuberculosis hospital" Miss
Kennedy related today. 1T was full
and she was not admitted. The
disease progressed until at the time
that there was vacancy in the state
institution, her condition was non
durable and the officials would not
accept her.
Wife Remains at Home.
Her husband was unable to send
her to a private hospital and the
mother had to stay In her own home
and all the time she knew that she
was endangering the lives of her loved
ones
When the boys came down from
up stairs of morning they would run
to their mother and she had to fight
them away to keep them from kissing
her."
Often times this woman has been
asked if she would go to county tu-
berculosis hospital If there was one
and always she answered that she
would.

FLAYED BY UNFAIR CRITICISM
COMMISSIONERS REFUSE TO Be
DRIVEN BY HOSPITAL AGITATION

Plans for locating the proposed
tuberculosis hospital on the site near
the Reid Memorial hospital are being
considered by county officials.
In reply to the attacks which Will
liam Dudley Foulke has made upon
them through the papers and on the

commissioners said that the president
OF the Anti.Tuberculosis association
has taken entirely the wrong attitude.
All three commissioners favor erec-
ton Of such a hospital. They feel,
however, that before they spend the
county's money, they must be abso-
lutely sure that they are justified in
doing so.

AMERICAN SHIPPING
GAINS DESPITE WAR
SAYS LATE REPORT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-American
shipping has gained in gross tonnage
since the beginning of the European
war $4,000 tons, almost as great as
all others combined, assistant Of Com
merce Sweet announced. This Is due
mainly to the ship registry act of 1914,
which permitted American owners OF
ships under foreign flags to obtain
the American flag and register.
Americas gain has meant severe
loss to other nations, Secretary Sweet
declared.
Under the registry act 350.000 tons
of British shipping, 100000 Of German
shipping and total of 125,000 of ship
ping under other flags have accured
American registry.
The German merchant marine Is
the heaviest loser. Their merchant
marine has been lessened by 1907, 744,
partly by transfer to other neutral
flags and by capture at the hands Of
enemy powers.
