COMMISSION REJECTS
!. BIDS ON OREGON TRAIL

The bids for grading and gravelins
the stretch of the Old oregon Trail
between Deadman's Pass and the
Union county line were rejected by
the state highway commission in its
session at Portland yesterday, and the
lob was ordered to be re-advertised.

struction Co. was the low bidder on
the job with a hid of Sil3,000 in
round numbers for the work. The ac-
tion taken by the commission is said
to have been taken because the hids
were all higher than the engineers

lob. and considerable anxiety has been

COUNCIL CHANGES OLD
SYSTEM OF NUMBERING
NORTH SIDE STREETS
New Code Adopted Makes
jackson Starting Place for
Cross Streets Across River.

A change in the system Of mum
bering streets on the north side of the
river was put into effect last night
when the street code was adopted by
the city council. Under the plan
which was made law by passage of the
code, jackson sire 4t will be the start
ing point for numbering the north
side streets which run north and
south, and these streets south of
Jackson street will be designated as
south, while north of Jackson the
cross streets will he referred to as
north.
The new system will do away with
Irregularities in numbering which
have existed heretofore. The river
has been used as the starting point for
numbering in the past, and owing to
the fact that its course is irregular, a
block on one street has had the 200
numerals and the corresponding block
in the next north and south street
might be the 100 block. The name
Mark street was abolished by the code
and the name River Drive will nov
apply to all of that street between
Main street west to Matlock street.
An ordinance authorizing the street
and sewer committee to sign a con-
tract with the inland Construction Co.
for the construction of the city septic
tanl; was passed. Work on the plant
will begin within a short time.
A petition to pave Cosbie street be-
tween Alta and Webb streets was pre-
sented to the council 1t was referred
to the street committee.
NJ. J. Maynard and others petition
ed for sewer to he laid on Benefit
street between Turner and Court.
This was also referred to committee.
On recommendation of Fire Chief
w. r. Ringold, the council decided to
purchase 500 feet of hose for the use
of the fire department.
The rooming house license for the
C. A. Peters place was held up by the
council for a further investigation.

 Last fall the Scotti opera tour which took us to the golden gates of California, was phenomenal. One of the outstanding incidents of the tour occurred in Seattle. Washington, where I found my likeness in col ors, with news story about the company, on the first page of the Seattle Times Now the Times in recent years. has been more noted for it's enterprise and signal ability in other lines than in fostering and encouraging Seattle's music. 1t has not, of late, conducted a music page or music column. But it's editor, Col. c. B. Blethen. man who never does things by halves. had been per suaded that the coming of the Scotti company meant much for Seattle and, with a lavishness and liberality characteristic of him when person. , ally interested in cause, went further than any other newspaper editor had gone in giving me and my company a place of honor in the news of the day"
 The grateful Scotti sought the edi- l. ..s. st.x.. ...1 to tell him there was no way he, Scottl, could repay the Times for such advertising. You will pay me- the editor replied. as the con versation was retold by Scotti. But how?" asked the artist. By your autographed picture" was the reply, It was a bargain.
 Commenting on the incident, Mir Scott said: ''I shall not forget Colo mel Blethen nor his kindness. He impressed me deeply and the incl dent came at the time when it great ly heartened me.
