HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE FAVORED.
Two County Courts Agree; Southern
Pacific Decision Not Reached,

A high level bridge is favored by
both the Marion and Polk county
courts. The Marion county court ex-
poets to receive from the Office Of the
state engineer this week an estimate
Of the cost Of different types of con
crete and steel bridges. The high lev
ell bridge would obviate the necessi-
ty of operating draw.
Information has been received from
the San Francisco office Of the South
ern Pacific company that the question
of planking the company's steel
bridge to be used for highway traffic
is under consideration. No decision
has yet been reached, however. Final
instruction will be received in Salem
from the Portland Office after a de-
cision has been reached by the head
officials at San Francisco.
Dallas people have been walking
across the steel bridge quite often in
going to Salem. A motor makes the
trip every half hour.

be present and may speak. One-and-
one-third fares for the round trip
have been put in effect by all rail-
roads. U. S. G. Miller Of Newberg is
president and Robert G. Duncan of
Salem, secretary of the association.
1t is proposed to interest the leg
islature in a debtors law for grocers
similar to the debtors law which pro-
tects innkeepers.. The trading stamp
legislation wanted is such as would
limit the activities of trading-stamp
companies.
