Antiquity Of Jerusalem.

The wonderful antiquity Of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to 80 years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner, 1t was
thought that Jerusalem was of little
importance as city until it became
the City OF David" king of Israel.
But with thc discovery Of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was she'd upon the history of the ga.
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king OF Jerusalem To
the Pharaoh Of Egypt, dating from the
fifteenth century l.. c. The name Of
this king Of Jerusalem was Abd-hiba,
or. as some scholars read the cunel-
form. Abd-sadak. and he writes to the
Pharaoh besccchins him to send SOL
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
rc-cnforccments that they might save
the day.

CITY'S HORSES COST
MORE MONEY WHEN
FEED BILLS COME
Fifty Tons of Hay viii Be
Bought AT $50 To SIS
Per Ton

+ The city council is finding that to
feed nine horses costs money AT the
meeting last evening authority was Civ
en- to buy fifty tens of hay at from
$50 to S55 ton and this of course
includes only part of the feed expense
bill for the year of the three teams
and one cart horse used by the street
department and the one team at the
fire house.
II 1t could buy for a reasonable price,
the council is disposed to purchase
20 by 81 feet facing on the alley just
back of the firehouse The ground
would come in convenient as an access
to the furnace. If the council thinks
the price asked $1,000, too high for
land facing on an alley, it will prob
ably construct a shute or tramway
under the present entrance under the
hose room. The few feet of ground
under consideration is owned by Mrs.
Ellen Feidt.
A petition was presented to the
council asking that a bridge be con
strueted on the Turner road across the
ditch. The position was laid on the
table as the street commissioner said
that it was his intention to put in a
lot of 36 inch tiles, crossing the road
several times Anyhow. the bridge
would cost about $500, according to
the city engineer S estimate.
Permission was given for the ply
steal connection between the Southern
Pacific and the Oregon Electric rail.
roads. This will be on Court and
Front streets Efforts have been made
for several years to secure connection
between the two roads in Salem but
the Southern F'aeific successfully
fought it off and the order was only
given after the government took con
troll of the railroads.
The city has owed the Montague
Q Reilly company about $4,000 for the
past six years for paving on South
High street. There didn happen to
be any money in this fund on account
OF litigation and there has been no
money to pay the bill which is reeog-
nized as a Just account. The city
waived the statutes Of limitation to
save the expense Of litigation and the
money will be paid from the first that
comes in from the High street assess

was finally decided by the council to
require a license for the use of the
streets in a parade. One ring circuses
will pay $40 for the parade privilege,
two ring circus 500 and three ring

The final assessment ordinance for
the North Church street paving was
passed and also the new traffic ordin-
ance making it unlawful for two ve-
