Under the impetus received from the

err road work in all active Marion
county districts lis forging steadily
ahead, according to James Culver
county roadmaster
The county paving plants at Salem,
Aumsville and Mt. Angel are In oper'

units is being placed at an encouraging
daily rate. The Salem plant is fur
nishing material for the stretch of
hard surfaced road between Salem and

ent time upon the three-mile piece Of

in surfacing the Aumsyille-Turnei
road

Salem's 5 Supply Of
Pure Water Is Aid
ToHealth Record

Pulse normal, temperature at a
healthy average This is the pro-
nouncement of DR.. r. e. Pomeroy, city
health officer, as regards the physical
well being of the city of Salem.
No smallpox. no scarlet fever, no
typhoid, also an absence of childish
diseases, excepting one case of whoop-
ing cough.
One cause for extreme satisfaction
upon the part Of city officials Is the re.
port Of the condition and quality OF
the water supplied by the Salem Water
companys mains. After two weeks OF
thorough testing, the city health board
has found the water to be very pure
and free from disease bacteria. Tests
were made from hundreds Of homes in
various parts of the city with the same
uniform result.
In a few private residences, defec-
tive plumbing was discovered to have
resulted in the infection Of the drlnA
ing water. In such cases steps are
taken to secure the cooperation Of the
property owner in correcting the de-
fects in piping of the water supply.
Many Wells Unsafe.
Several wells in various portions OF
the city mostly in the extreme north
eastern and northerly section were
tested and positive bacteria cultures
secured. thus placing the wells on the
..condemned" list. OF the last sreui'
OF wells tested, only one passed the
laboratory examination.

Husband Did Not
Tell True Extent
of Wealth, Claim

In the divorce proceedings of Halle
Parrish Durdall against o. B. Durdall,
reply submitted wednesday by Mrs.
Durdall, charges that the husband had
made false representations to her con-
cerning his financial status
In her reply, Mrs, Durdall admits
that herself and husband had signed q
pre- marriage agreement in which It
was stipulated that the property inter-
ests of each were to remain under iri-
dividual management but alleges ,na;
after this marriage her husband re-f
sided in her home without paving
board or rental. Mrs. Durdalrs repg
also states that her husband built a
small garage upon her Salem proper
ty in order to avoid the necessity Of
paying garage renta for his car That
the most important repairs and inn
provements made upon her property
were paid for byherself, Mrs. Durdall
contends.
The reply concludes with the state
ment that Durdall had represented
himself to be worth between $4,000
and $4,000; whereas the plaintiff as
serts that her husbands resources are
between $4,000 and $45,000.

New Approaches
For Bad Crossing
Are Considered

The Marion county court and COM
missioners are considering informally,
various plans and suggestions Tor I'M
provement of the dangerous Pacific
highway Southern Pacific crossing
near the fair grounds.
One suggestion is that the highway
be closed at the dangerous point ana
a thoroughfare be opened on the east
side OF the track and to connect with
the salem -Silverton road, thus max.
ing one crossing for the two traffic
routes. This provides crossing with
an improved angle ratio. Objections
10 this plan are that the union Of the
two road throws traffic together at a
dangerously short distance from the
crossing itself. A second objection Is
that structures located near the pro
posed junction would close the view
from two distinct angles, having the
effect of blind turn.
Overhead Crossing Urged.
plan proposed by the state high
vay commission and approved by
many engineering experts Is to estap'
lish ''Y" junction Of the Silverton'
Salem road and the Pacific highway AZ
a point some distance east OF tne
Southern Pacific tracks and midway
betweer,. the two existing crossings
The distance from the tracks would pe
such as to permittan approved grade
and an overhead crossing, thus obviat'
ing possibility for future mishaps.
The chief objectionssto this plan are
ia costs. and the fact, that condemnn
ton proceedings might be necessary IN
ordert o, obtain the necessary right o.
way. However, advocates Of the over.
head crossing plan claim that IT would
h naid for by the railroad, county and

gree Of safety insurance would be an

HIGH LUMBER
PRICES
Traced to Manipulation BY
Monopoly

Washington.-High lumber prices
are traced to their cause by George
?. Hampton, managing director of the
farmers national council.
Mr. Hampton calls attention to a re-
port by Commissioner of Corporations
Davies in 1914 that 16 holders own
47,800,000 acres of timber lands in
this country This is an area 10 times
greater than the state of New Jersey.
The federal official also reported that
1,694 timber owners hold in fee over
one-twentieth of the land area of the
United States from the Canadian to
the Mexican border. These ,695 hold
ers own 15,600,00O acres granted to
three western railroads in the COS, the
railroads retained 40 per cent in 1910.
In 1911 Commissioner of Corpora
tions Smith reported that in 1880 at
least three-fourths of the timber then
standing was publicly owned. Now
about four r-ffths of it is privately
owned, the great bulk of it having
passed through enormous railroad,
canal and wagon road grants by the
federal government, direct govern
ment sales of unlimited quantities at
$125 an acre, and certain public land
laws.
The lumber situation, said Mr..
Hampton, is q further indication of the
tremendous cost to the American peo-
pie of permitting private ownership of
