The Observer Is certainly at a loss to understand what the Itemlzer means by the foregoing item. While the matter can be of no possible public Interest we will say for Bro. Fiske's benefit that our contract with the Royal people provides that we shall run their advertising until May 31, 1907, and then discontinue it pending further Instructions. The writer has been in the newspaper business 15 years and this is the first instance he has ever known of one publisher try ing to keep tab on another publisher's foreign advertising. Most printers have other and more important work to do. We might also add that the man who attends to his own affairs always has a good steady Job.

Electricity for Litfhtinn Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It Is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light but does it save you anything when 11 limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn t be economy. It Is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
