Some Lively Times
During Her Visit

Mrs. Blanche Howard, first assistant
city librarian. who has been spending
her month IS vacation in Butte, Mont,
where her daughter, Miss Irene How
ard, graduated from the nurses course
in the Murray hospital ON June 6, re
turned to Salem Thursday after going
through an exciting time with the I. w.
w. agitators and the strike of miners
which is now on in that place.
Mrs. Howard was visiting with hel
daughter, Mrs. Jay King, whose hus-
band is chief clerk to the superinten-
dent of the Original Mine. Mr.. King
was formerly of Salem and well known
in baseball circles.
Mrs. Howard was in Butte during
the strike excitement and the time of
the accident when large number of
miners were caught in the shaft of a
mine. She says that where usually 700
miners went down each shift at present
only about $50 miners would face the
danger. No night shifts were worked,
on account of the danger from the I.
W. w.
She says she had plenty of excite
ment as there were soldiers on guard
and martial law was declared for one
night and one day.

RED CROSS DOINCS


To use an old adage, "'There is a
black sheep in every fold. = Such is
the case with the Red Cross buttons.
In the shipment received the other day,
consisting of six thousand buttons, one
was found which was eolored black.
where on others, the background was
white. Otherwise than the color, the
button is perfectly made.
Dallas is coming to the front now by
organizing auxiliaries, where for a long
time the members there were merely
general members. Six have been re-
ported, the d. A. r. and Dallas Presby-
terian auxiliaries having the largest
membership with is each. The Pioneer
club stands next with 16, the Dallas
Christian church with 13 and the Dal-
las Woman 3 club and the Thursday af
ternoon club with 10 each. The Wo-
men of Woodcraft auxiliary, which has
been formed there for some timer sent
in four additional membership subscrip-
tions today.
Butteville has asked for an auxiliary,
and the organizers will take care of
that community soon.
One of the great demands which
comes comes to the Red Cross, Is for
handkerchiefs, napkins and traycloths.
These can be made of old table linen,
and dimensions may be obtained from
the supply department. 1t is important
that many people donate old linen and
other cloth as the expenses of the Red
Cross are great, in buying bandage ma
terial, and the old material will do as
well or better for some ENDS of need
ed supplies.
The Prescilla auxiliary of Salem re.
ported to the surgical station of the
Red Cross with three dozen towels this
morning.
Monitor auxiliary brought in three
dozen sheets this morning and took out
SO yards of muslin to be made up into
bed shirts.
The assistants at the surgical station
were cutting and making gauze com
presses this morning.

Who Will Pay for
Pavement?

DO NOT BE DECEIVED, by the argu-
ment that the contractor will lose the
money expended in constructing the pave
ment on South High street and South 18th
street.
The Supreme Court has held City liable
under conditions almost identical. In the
case of Jones VS.. City Of Portland, 35th Ore.
512, the Court says:
Wherever confusion there NAV be in the
authorities elsewhere, the holding of this
court is that, where the expense of improv-
ing street in city is to be paid from
special fund to be raised by an assessment
on the abutting property, a failure Of the
municipality to comply with any Of the re-
quirements of the charter essential to sup
ply such fund or any unreasonable delay in
enforcing such provisions or collecting and
paying over the money, gives the contrac-
tor right of action ex delieto against the
corporation for damages, in which he is en-
titled to recover the amount due under the
contract, with interest, Notwithstanding
aprovision in the contract that he shall look
for payment only to the special fund, and
that he will not require the municipality,
by any legal process or otherwise to pay
for the same out of any other fund. If,
therefore, the City Of Sellwood failed to
comply with any of the requirements of the
charter authorizing the Improvement Of the
street at the expense Of the abutting prop
erty by reason of which the special fund
for the payment of the contract price can
not be raised, or if there has been any I'M
reasonable delay by it or the present
defendant in enforcing such provisions. or
collecting and paying over the money, the
plaintiff has valid cause of action against
the defendant for the amount remaining
due and unpaid under the contract"
The Supreme Court having already de-
cided that the City Of Salem failed to fol-
low the provisions of its charter in adver-
tising for bids on South 18th street and in
publishing notice of the City's intention
to improve South High street. what de-
fense could the city make to an action by
the contractor for the cost of constructing
these pavements, in the face of the Jones
decision.
Don't be deceived by the argument that
the contractor will lose his money. The tax
payers of the City of Salem or the property
owners along these streets will eventually
pay the cost
IF YOU VOTE FOR THE RE-ASSESS-
MENT AMENDMENT THE PROPERTY
OWNERS ALONG THESE STREETS
WILL PAY. If YOU VOTE AGAINST
THIS MEASURE YOU WILL PAY THE
COST AS A PART OF YOUR TAXES.
VOTE YES ON ALL THREE AMEND
MENTS AND PUT THE COST WHERE
