SALEM-BEND s RAILWAY
SURVEY PUSHED RAPIDLY

NJ. Lynot, who has complete charge
of the survey and construction work of
the Salem to Bend railroad, went to
Portland the latter part Of last week,
returning Monday evening. On Tuesday
morning Mr.. LynOtt went to Lyons at
which place the surveying crew is hard
at work. Before starting he stated to
a Mail representative that his princi-
pals in Portland were much pleased
with the progress made, but that they
waneed him to hurry things as much as
possible at this end as the POrtllnd Of
fices were already for the chief Cngin-
GERS, and things must be pushed rapid
ly in order to begin actual construction
by May l.
Outside papers are beginning to wake
up to the fact that the railroad is urcly
coming our way, and that Stayton will
be on the map in earnest in 1916.
With new railroad, and machine
shops in prospect, together with tho
many advantages Stayton has of waite:
power, location, and manufacturers,
there is but little doubt in the minds Of
those who can see farther than their
nose that in 1920 StaytOn will have u
population of 5000.
"StaytOn has mills and power a plenty,
5000 people in ninctcen-twenty. -

JOHN D. GUISS GETS
FIRST SELECTION
Old Settler On Siletz Who Lost
His Claim, In Line Ten
Days Gets 1t Back

Portland, Or, April Memories of
the old land rush days were revived
here today when some 10000 acres of
public lands in the former Siletz In
dian reservation in Lincoln county
were opened to homestead entry at the
United States land office.
Nearly 100 land hungry men and
one woman, were in line when the doors
opened at 9 O'Clock to admit the first
five applicants.
John D.. Guiss was the first to make
application, ending a vigil of ten days
kept by himself and members of his
family.
Guiss first took a place outside the
door of the land office at noon March
%. He was first because of his wish
to secure a homestead on which he has
spent $1,000 in litigation and ON which
he has lived for a considerable period.
His previous attempts to "prOve up"
on the 100 acres in question had been
nullified by an executive order made by
President Taft in 1910 withdrawing the
lands from entry. -

Female habiliment will strike a new

Uses For Old Embroidered Waists.

When embroidered waists be
come worn under the arms or out of
style tney are still good enough to
make several small articles.
If of thin material and buttOned
down the back, there will be enough
goods in the front of waist for an or
dipary cap. The plain round caps are
easiest made, but there are other pret-
ty patterns to be had. If the waists are
trimmed with lace insertion, so much
the better.
Baby pillows, round square or OBJ
long, can also be made if the waist is i'll
fairly good shape
Pretty aprons can be made from the
waists embroidered in groups of flow
ers. If large pattern is embroidered
on the waist, cut the apron to the larg-
