HAVE BRIDGE
READY FOR STATE FAIR
Contractors Working Two
Shifts to Accomplish This
Move Span Thursday

By working in two shifts Of eight
hours each, the contractors building
the temporary bridge across the VIII
lamette at Salem hope to have the
work completed for the passage of the
public by two weeks from yesterday,
the first day of the state fair.
Already the approach and the span
on this side Of the river have been com
pleted and planked. Next Thursday,
the span on the west side of the river
will be moved into it's new location and
within two days viii be planked.
All that remains to be done is the
building of the approach and the plank
ing on the west side and in order that
this may be completed within ten days
or two weeks, two eight hour shifts
will be put at work.
The delay has not been due to the
contractors, but to the difficulty in
securing materials. Piles were not to
be had on account of slow delivery by
the Southern Pacific. The railroad
would not deliver and the work was
held back. But now that materials are
on hand the S~paulding logging COM
pany is ready to deliver the planking,
the prospects are favorable for a com
of the bridge and having it
ready for traffic within ten days or
two weeks.

POTATOES WILL STAY
IN EATING DISTANCE
Yield Is Light In Oregon But
Far Above Normal In
United States

This is . potato story for the bene-
fit of the farmer who might be won
dering why the potato market will not
touch some of the high spots of one year
ago.
The government makes its estimates
about this time of year from its sew
eral sources in each section. Oregon
seems to be in hard luck from the po-
tato standpoint as one year ago the
crop was S,25o,000 bushels while the es-
innate for this year is 5,440,000.
The Washington crop run up pretty
well this year as N year ago, it was
100000 bushels while this year the
estimate is for 9,4o0, 000.
Idaho will do much to keep the price
of potatoes down in the northwest. Last
year the crop was 4,050,000 bushels
while this year the figure reads $780,
600 bushels on a government report es-
innate.
But the dealers here say it is not
the northwest that makes the price, but
the general crop conditions through
out the United States. Last year was
generally a bad potato year, with a pro
dretion of 285,437 900 bushels for the
entire country. But this year the total
amount is estimated by the government
at 462, 100000 bushels. b.
Hence while potatoes may be pretty
scarce in Oregon, the country in gener-
al has raised a bumper crop, all of
which will effect local prices, according
to the opinion Of potato buyers.

GIVE DEFORNED
CHILDREN A CHANCE
Judge Bushey VIII Do All In
His Power to Benefit
Crippled Children

Deformed and disease-ridden chill
dren of Marion county are to have a
chance to be cured and assisted to be-
come able bodied citizens, according to
Judge Bushey of the county court, who
is looking into the case of a little de-
formed hoy so that he can bring him
under the provisions of chapter l45 of
the 1917 session laws, known as senate
bill 105, which provides for medical
and surgical treatment for sick and de-
formed INDECENT children under 16
years Of age.
Judge Bushey is of the opinion that
this measure is of great Importance and
that it will be of vast help to many
eripples whose parents are too poor to
have essential operations performed.
1t is the aim of this law to have such
children brought before the county
judge on his WI motion, on the com
plant of a probation officer, school
teacher or other school officer for an
examination as to his deformity or
disease with a view to determining
whether or not it can be cured.
If the examining physician finds
hat the d~eformity can be remedied by
an operation or the disease cured by
treatment, the child will be sent to the
University of Oregon medical school
clinic ior medical treatment, which is
free. There is no charge for opera
ton, hospital, or medicines.
With this law in operation and chill
dren who are now deformed cured, he
thinks it is a great measure of economy
AS any that makes the weak strong
and able bodied is good business policy,

WOMEN AND GIRLS
URGED TO REGISTER
Object Is To Get Accurate
Measure of Women Power
in United States

Women and girls over the age of Is
are asked to register next Saturday, not
because the government is especially in
need of them but merely that the wom-
an power of the United States may DO
measured.
For those who are rather timid about
registering, it may be said that the
Council of National Defense has asked
that all women in the country be regis
tered but that the mere fact of register
ing does not imply any service what
ever.
All that is wanted is to find out how
many women there are in Salem. There
is one blank line to be filled out where
in a woman may designate what she
might like to do should the government
need her services.
But the mere registering does not in
any way place any one in the service
of the country. But should the time
come when the nation might need the
active help of women, then the cards
would be available as records whereby
women could be quickly reached who
were willing to show their patriotism.
With the exception of the high school,
all school buildings in the city will be
open Saturday from 10 O'Clock in the
morning until 8 O'Clock in the evening.
The Y. w. Q, A. win also be open for
the registering of those who find it
most convenient. 1t is immaterial where
one registers. AT the state house women
in the building may register at the noon
hour and from 8 until 6 O'Clock in the
afternoon.
One of the objects of the registration
by the government is to find out how
many women there are in the city, what
they have been trained to do and what
they would like to do if the country
needed them. Registering implies no SER
vice whatever.

YOUR PAPERS
AND ALL MAGAZINES
Red Cross viii Collect and
Sell Them---BOy Scouts VIII
Call for Them

Save all your papers and magazines
and give them to the Red Cross.
AS a means Of raising much needed
funds, Willamette chapter is asking all
citizens to begin collecting and saving
all old papers and all old magazines,
all of which will finally be collected
and sold, the proceeds going into the
Red Cross fund.
To bring this matter properly before
the citizens of Salem and to the bust
ness houses and all state institutions,
Red, Cross headquarters has appointed
as general manager of the campaign,
Mrs. z. j. Riggs, who will serve as
chairman of all committees and direct
the campaign.
Although as yet Mrs. Riggs has not
announced her working committees or
plans, the general idea is that the pub
lie will gladly respond to the call to
collect and tic in bundles all old papers
and magazines which will be collected
and stored in a building down town.
Included in the plans of collectini
all the papers and magazines will be
that of having them collected some
time within the next two or three
weeks, by the boy scouts in order that
all the houskeeper will be asked to do
is to save and collect papers and have
them ready for the collectors on a
date specified.
Hence as a Red Cross benefit, the

DOG LAW HELD TO BE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Eight Other Opinions Handed
down, Petitions for Re-
hearing Denied

Because the dog license law as passed
by the Twenty-ninth session Of the
Oregon Legislature "is clearly in viola
ton of the constitutional inhibition
against passing local or special laws"
which inhibition is stated in Article
~, section 30, of the constitution, as
follows: "The legislative assembly
shall not pass special or local laws in
any of the following enumerated cases,
that is to say
l. Regulating the jurisdiction and
duties of Justices of the Peace, and of
C~onstables; I.1 IL
2. For the punishment Of crimes as
misdemeanors, the demurrer INTERVIEWED
by Constable Varney against the alter
native writ of mandamus that was is
sued on complaint of Irwin W. Lewis
to compel the constable to collect the
dog license tax according to the law
or show cause why he should not, was
sustained today by the Oregon Supreme
court and the writ dismissed.
According to this opinion, the dog
license law is unconstitutional. Because
it excerpts from its influence all of the
territory east of the summit of the
Cascade mountains and the counties of
Josephine, Jackson, Coos, Curry, Ian
coin, Tillamook, Clatsop, and Columbia
it is shown that it is to be enforced in
a comparatively small portion of the
state. Section 10, which says that vio-
lation is a misdemeanor, the court says
makes the act a crimi1al statute, and
as the constitutional inhibition pro-
hibits the passing of any special laws
for punishment Of crimes it is held to
be unconstitutional.

exclaimed King Bing at the meeting
held last evening in the Commercial
club. "The bylaws provide that those

Mr.. Lerchen was so emphatic about
the Cherrians carrying a lot of names
on the roll of men who didn't care
enough to ever help or attend meet
ings, that he was willing to fire them
out of the organization and to resign
if his actions did not meet with ap-

that tonight was the first Cherrian
