SAME OLD STORY OF
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Leaves Cars Standing at Way
Stations While Contractors
Wait for Piling

The temporary bridge across the Will
lamette would have been completed by
the Coast Bridge company several
weeks ago, if there had not been the
delay in shipping piles from Noon and
Marys River, according to one of the
managers of the company.
Last week, the pile driver and crew
were idle on account of lack of piles
due to the fact that several flat cars
billed from Salem to Marys River were
side-tracked for three days at Gerlinger.
This week there is the same delay
from the same cause, that of not de-
livering flat cars from Salem to where
the piles are already cut at Noon. Last
Thursday five flat cars were billed
from Salem for the lumber station at
Noon, Is miles beyond Corvallis, where
the piles had already been cut. 1t
seems the cars have travelled as far as
Corvallis in the six days, but accord
ing to the pest advice, had not been
delivered to the lumber camp at Noon.
In the meantime, the work of driving
piles for the temporary structure has
stopped and will be stopped until the
Southern Pacific hauls the piles from
the camp Is miles beyond Corvallis.
Hence, there is no encouragement to
hold out to those living on the west
side as to when the piles will be here.
According to the best advice to be OBJ
tained, it may be several days and it
may be weeks. And while the bridge
company is waiting for the delivery of
piles, the work is at standstill.
The only means of crossing the river
at Salem for the state fair of 1917
has been the one ferry working to its
utmost capacity.

YOU CAN'T BRUSH OR
WASH OUT DANDRUFF

X X r y X x X r X X X x x y x
The only sure way to ret rid Of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about fonr
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff win
be gone, and three or four more appl-
cations will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it. no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You viii find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp viii stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.

NEUJTRALS HOLD
SHIPS in PORT
TO REAP PROFIT
Charge Is Made by Member
of the Italian War
Mission
By Associated Press

Boston. June 25.-Prince Udine and
members of the Italian mission ar
rived here from New York this morn
ing. They were given an enthusiastic
greeting at the South Station by a
throng which included a great num-
Der of Italian residents.
Despite the entente allies acute
need of ships, arising from the sub
marine menace, more than 100000
tons of neutral shipping is swing Idly
at anchor in the harbors of belligerent
nations, according to a statement
made by Augusta Ciufelli, former
member of the Italian cabinet and a
member of the mission, to The Asso-
ciated Press here to-day.
DepIOres Condition
The statement was by Mr.. Ciufelli
in connection with the advisability of
putting into execution other plans,
besides Americas titanic shipbuilding
program in combating the subma-
rines.
That the entente allies are power
less to utilize this class of neutral
tonnage was characterized as de-
plorable by Mr.. Ciufelli. Greed, he
said, was the moving factor with
many of the shipowners. The allies
should take immediate steps TO cor
rect the situation. Mr.. Ciufelli said,
by increasing port duties to an al
most confiscatory point for prolonged
stays and refusing bunker coal to
such ships as declined to accept car
goes through the danger zone.
Want Higher Freights
Hundreds of Norwegian, Danish,
Dutch. Greek and Spanish ships, total
ing more than one million TONS" Mr.
Ciufelli said, ARE lying idle in the
ports of the belligerent nations be-
cause of the submarine menace. The
owners of many of these ships are de-
liberately holding them in port in or
der to reap the extraordinary profits
which they expect will accrue to them.
In their minds the shipping situation
has reached point where trade rates
will be higher than they are now and
insurance rates will decrease.
The damage to the cause of the
allies caused by these idle ships can
not be computed. The money dam
ages run far into the millions, since
the inaction of this tonnage contrib
utes toward a constant increase in
ocean freight and insurance rates"

where acceptance of the food controi

A vigorous fight was promised

tire of malt liquors ami wine. Many
dry Senators strongly oppose ex-
tending the prohibition to beer and
wines, although there is a strong
sentiment in the Senate against fur
ther manufacture of whisky, brandy
and other distilled spirits.
Prospects are, however, that the
Senate will in the end vote to re-
tain the prohibition proposals or
at least the provision prohibiting
use of foodstuffs in manufacturing
distilled spirits. 1t is expected also
that the Senate will add compromise
amendments resulting from confer
cnces between Senators.
The substitute bill will be made

vote within a week or ten days seem
probable.
New Amendments
a half dozen amendments to the
bill were introduced to-day. Senator
Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois, offered a
substitute Dill proposing that the
President shall have general broad
authority to issue regulations for
control of foodstuffs, specifically emu
merating those held for "monopoliza-
ton" or unjust prices" Several
measures which have been before the
Senate as part of the war legislation
were also tackled onto the bill as
amendments. Senator Walsh put in
his bill permitting the Government
to lease coal and oil lands.
The bill giving the President the
power to direct priority in railroad
shipments was offered as an amend
ment by Senator Ransdell. Senator
Wadsworth tackled on the trading
with-the-enemy bill and Senator Cum
Minis proposed amendments declaring
