ordinance last night voting them q salary of S900 year under an amend ment to the city charter passed by the legislature in 1917, according to Attorney Ralph T. Beers, who is chairman of the aldermanic commit tee on ordinances. The amendment to the charter reads as follows:
 The Common Council of the City of Bridgeport by ordinance shall have power and authority to determine and change the salaries or other compensation of all officials elective City of Bridgeport.
 This question has been talked over for a long time, said Attorney Beers, and the charter prior to the amend ment was that the aldermen and corn- missioners must serve without cona- pensation. In 1917 the city of Starn- ford went to the legislature and ask ed permission to change it's charter so the councilmen and councilnnen at large could be paid a salary of $500 a year. At the same time the city of Bridgeport put in its amendments and among them was the above which passed along with the others.
 The ordinance committee, said the chairman, took the question up with the legal department of the city and it was the opinion that an ordinance could be presented calling for sal ary for the members of the Board of Aldermen. This thing, he said, has been talked over and discussed for several months before the matter f1- nally came up last night

Polar Bear Has Hard Luck.

When Neil Wheeler and a number
of other soldier boys from Minot were
returning from France a year ago
their vessel went to the rescue Of the
Polar Bear, vessel that was sending
out distress signals. For three days,
an effort was made to get a line to
the Polar Bear, but in vain. Owing
to the ferocity of the storm, the YES
sci was unable to get within mile of
the Polar Bear. The storm finally
subsidized and the ship went on. Daily
papers Sunday contained dispatches
that the Polar Bear was again send
ing out distress signals, just year
after the first occurrence and at about
the same place in the Atlantic.

Payroll Derived From Mills and Camps

ant drive and a grand place to spen6
a vacation in the mountains.
LAUNDERING, of course. is the chief
industry. This is controlled bv the
Hammond Lumber company. one of
the substantial numbering concerns in
the Northwest. F. r. Olin is general
manager and has been with the COM
pany for seventeen years, and thirteen
years in Mill City. The company is
operating four camps and employing
approximately six hundred men in the
mill and camps. The company owns
large and well stocked store where
large portion of the trading in that
section of the country is done. The
mill is operated every working day in
the year ,and there have been but few
forced vacations. 1t is always noticed
that when any min in Oregon is in
operation the Hammond Lumber COM
pany mill is included in the number.
AT present they are cutting about 200,-
000 feet of lumber per day, and ship
ping to all parts of the world. Mr..
Olin said they are having serious trou-
BILE in getting cars for shipment and
if relief is not given soon the mill will
have to shut down, but this will not
occur he said, unless we are absolute
ly obliged to close. on account of the
car shortage they are obliged to hold
vast stock of lumber at the mill at
the present time, but they hope for
improved conditions in this respect.
Another enterprise of great impors-
ance is the Mill CITY State bank, es-
tablished in December, 1919, by F. M.
Arnold, who is president. Mr.. Arnold
is a young man formerly employed in
Albany where he had several years of
banking experience. He is'building up
substantial banking business in Mill
City and his enterprise is proving to be
q great asset to the commercial inter-
ests of that whole country. The total
resources of the bank today aggregate
$167,S10.49, and increase at the rate Of
