out i'll Butler yesterday and the young
lady told her husband about it the
minute she got him aside. Then Ed
ward faced the issue as boldly as pos
sible and made clean breast of it.

art school III st. Louis and was rap
idly making quite a reputation for
himself as a cartoonist. He arrived I'M
the city few weeks ago to spend
his vacation. His parents had intend
ed to send him to Chicago in the fall
and later to New York for the finish
ing touches to his career.
Mrs. Clark, or the former Miss
Lynch, is very charming young
lady and musician OF more than

The road building program mapped out by the state
highway commission for this year will help Oregon in
every way The only criticism really have to make of
the present program the decision to pave the Albany
Jefferson road, while the stretch between Salem and
Jefferson is in much condition and it seems to us
should receive attention first If the idea is to award
that amount of paving to Linn county, it should not have
the effect of delaying Improvement of so important
section of the Pacific highway that between Salem and
Jefferson the worst portion of the highway between
the Columbia river and the California line 1t should be
