WLrf m H B H jH B ym 7S9nI i b pr A most enthusiastic meeting of tho Salem Business Men's Lenguo was pulled off last night at tho Board of Trado rooms, and tho results of their proceedings may have some vital ef fects on tho city's future. A good attondanco was had, Including tho mayor and several councllmen, and many subjects of vital Interest to tho business Intorosts of tho city were considered. Tho most Important matter brought up was tho resolu tions for a lower rato of gas, which will be presented to tho next meeting of tho city council, declaring the rato of $2 per thousand feet, charged by tho Salem Gas Company, for gas, ox ccsslvo and exorbitant, and demand ing that an ordlnanco bo passed ro duclng tho rate to $1 per thousand feet. If .relief Is not secured before Jan uary 1, 1908, tho lenguo pledges an appropriation of $50 from Its treas ury to bo used In advertising nn opening for another gas plant, and that the business men of this city of 15,000 people will uso their moral support to sccuro a franchlso for same. Several attempts have been mndo at council meetings of tho past to sc curo tho adoption of an ordlnanco to reduce and regulnto tho charges for gas, electricity, water, etc., but they havo all failed for somo reason or other. Tho question enmo up nt last night's meeting of tho Buslncsi Men's League, nnd wns discussed at considerable length. It seemed to bo tho unanimous opinion of thoso present that tho ratos charged aro exorbitant nnd unreasonable, and tho resolution was finally adopted as tho best means of voicing tho league's sontlmcnts to tho public and placing Itsolf upon record as being opposed to tho present rates chnrged by tho local company.1 Tho local plant Is owned and oper ated by tho Portland General Elec tric Compnny, which absorbed It when tho local street railway and oloc trie light nnd power system was tak en over. Tho full toxt of tho resolu tion follews: "Whoroas, The buslnoss men and tho citizens of Snlom havo for many yonrs paid oxcesslvo and oxorbltaut rato for gas, and "Whoroas, Othor cltios, towns and villages on all sldos of us havo bettor rates thnu $2 por thousand foot, and "Whereas, Thoro sooms to bo no Immodlnto roltof, thoroforo, bo It "Rosolvod, That tho Buslnoss Men's Lenguo of tills city request tho city council to introduce and pass an ordinance making tho gns rato $1.00 por thousand foot, nnd bo It further "Resolved, That If no roltof can bo obtalnod by January 1, 1908, that tho sum of $50 bo appropriated out of any money. In tho loaguo treas ury to advortlso to financiers of the country that tho buslnoss men of this city of 15,000 pooplo will uso their moral support to secure ono a franchlso that will guarailtoo $1.00 gas." It was also tho sense of tho meet ing, and a motion was mndo and adopted to that effect, that all of tho business houses bo requested to closo upon Salem Day at tho stato fair, Wednesday, September 18th, nt U o'clock In tho morning. A resolution was also adopted asking all business houses to decor ato tholr stores fair weok, and a committee, composed of J. L. Stock ton and G. Stolz, was appointed for tho purpose. All stores aro request ed to close on Salem Day of the state fair. The matter of holding a bargain week Bale for Salem somo tlmo this fall was brought up, and a commit tee, composod of II. D. Patton', M. O. Buren and E. T. Barnos, was appoint ed to look after the matter. Another Important matter taken up, was the subject of tho loaguo holding a banquet at Hotel Willam ette early In October. All present favored this means of bringing Sa lem business men still closer togeth er, and no doubt the matter will take shape In tho near future. o Can you afford to trifle with so serf ous a matter as to neglect a bad cold or cough, when for a trifling amount you can secure a bottle of "Hick ory Bark Couga Remedy," that' U guaraateed to cure or mosey refund ed.

For 20 years Philadelphia has mado sporadic efforts to got wlros underground and with soma success. Wlros In ovtdonco hns docronsod, whllo wires In use had greatly In cronsod.

This nrticlo recltos that Philadel phia has 810 miles of underground conduit owned by ton dlfforent cor porations and 83 miles bolonlng to tho city. Tho latter aro occupied by tho city's wires and through lease by tho wires and cables of ten dlffor ent corporations. In splto of this tho ovorhoad wlro evil Is a substantial and serious ono, but the wires do not appear on tho prlnlcpnl streots west of Third, botwoon Race and Walnut, except on Tenth street. This la a groat advanco ,but only a flrst stop In tho great work of putting under ground all tho overhead wires that now afflict tho city. Baltimore, whoso overhead wlros crippled tho flre-flghtlng Borvlco bo Bovoroly in that city's great confla gration, has adopted and Is putting into offoct tho policy of having nil telegraph and telephone wires under ground. Boston has nbout rid Itsolf of Its ovorhoad wlros, except trolloy wires, and Now York, tho old city, having npvor glvon hospitality to trolloy wires, finds its task slmpllcd. Near ly nil wlros of all sorts In tho bor ough of Manhattan nro underground, though Brooklyn and tho Bronx aro still afflicted by tho system of over head wires. Overhead wires In n city nro a mark of Inforlor administration. A city managed as It Bhould bo will havo no overheard wires. There Is no prospect at present of tho aboli tion of overhead trolley wlros In this city, but tho policy of putting all other wires underground might woll be pushed with much greater vigor.
