that only a certain number

place the voters in position
to know exactly what to de-

to vote intelli8ently upon
the amendments.
''These amendments will
provide no funds which can

WILL FIX DATE FOR
new BRIDGE OPENING
At MEETING TONIGHT
Believe That Paving And All
Other Work Wil Be Fin
ished by August |

AT a meeting to be held this even
ing at the Commercial club between the
state highway commission, County En-
gineer Culver and the executive COM
mittee in charge of the bridge dediea-
tion, the date for the opening of the
bridge will be definitely decided.
The contract of the bridge building
company requires the completion of the
bridge by August l. The work has been
running ahead of schedule and the
bridge can be turned over to the eoun-
ty week or ten days before August
H. But there is the paving of the bridge
and the building of the cement side
walks before the official opening day.
At the meeting this evening the ex-
'ecutive committee will endeavor to get
from Mr.. Culver the exact time neces-
lsary to do this paving and after this
mas been decided, definite date for
1.-THE official opening can be announced.
hIt is thought that under ordinary con-
'ditions, the opening will be about
Igulv 81 or August l.
The souvenir committee, H. W.
Meyers chairman, announce that al
Nready the souvenir flags have arrived.
They are small silk flags with the
Red Cross and wording, "Souvenir of
dedication under auspices of Red
lCross."
The grand stand for the speakers
and band will be erected on Water
street and the decoration committee,
Paul Siege chairman, announce that
Nthe bridge will be appropriately dec
Iorated.
According to present tentative plans,
1.-THE first ceremonies IF the day will be
the auctioming off of the privilege of
driving the first automobile across the
bridge and the opinion seems to be
that the bidding will start with the
present offer of Henry W. Meyers of
$780, Also that the man who does
have the honor of driving across the
bridge ahead of the procession will
pay considerably more than 800.
The big event down town for the
day will be either a military or indus
trial parade and this of course will
depend on conditions not yet decided.
Nv. T. Rigdon is chairman of the parade
I'committee.
With the meeting of the executive
committee this evening, plans win go
rapidly forward for the great event

the amount they have been listed. In
general this is placed at about% two
thirds of the value of the car, taking
into consideration depreciation from
age and general use.
As yet, the assessments for this
year have not been made cut and will
not until the levy has been made. How
ever, based on that of last year, a ear
valued at $1,000 would cost the owner
$29.9O and Others in proportion. Mr..
West says there are more large cars
in proportion to the number reported
than one year ago and large increase
in valuation over one year ago.

Stocks Advance When
War News PIeases

New York, July 1S,-.The Evening
Sun financial review this afternoon
said:
With advances of two, three and
four points in the active list of stocks
the stock market today responded to
the favorable news from the western
'front.'
The news appeared before the open
ing, which was strong in tone and high
or in price. Further dispatches show
ed that the French and American at
tacks were meeting with sue
cess and tDe market gathered strength
the succeeding advances being achiev-
ed with only brief and temporary re-
cesSions.
All classes of stocks participated in
the upward movement, although the
rails were less active than the indus
trials. United States Steel furnished
more than third of the days bulge.
The market, with old time enthusiasm,
made further strides upward in the
late trading, many issues, including
United States Steel, making new highs
for the day. At LOG United States Steel
was 3-4 above Wednesday s close.

On a basis of 1920 wheat, house
holders will soon be paying about two

flour ground from the 1920 wheat will
arrive in the city in dayaor two. On
account of the order of the state food
administration short time ago requir-
ing that all flour in the state be sent
to France, there is very little old flour
on hand, The food administration back
ed down on the flour order too late to
permit dealers to lay in a supply at the
old price and as the situation now
stands, almast all grocers are out of
the flour to be sold at the lower price.
1t is now goodbye to frostings on cakes
and pies. Such things are now taboo.
according to the wishes of the state

have put the kibosh on the fancy rim
Imings and now is is the turn Of Marion
county. 1t seems that Polk county has
been getting along without the fancy
frostings but has been somewhat dis.
turbed from the fact that the bakeries
OF Salem have been shipping into the
county some of the forbidden fruit.
Hence the bakeries will be asked to fill
their Polk county orders for pies and
cakes minus the fancy trimmings.
