KELSEY REPLIES TO . MAYOR'S TELEGRAM. Willing to Cancel Contract. Which, lie Declares, City Has llrokcn a Number of Times. Here is Engineer Frank C. Kelsey's reply to the telegram sent to him yes terday by Mayor Hoover: Portland, Ore., June 1G, 1909. Mr. E. V. Hoover, Mayor, Roseburg, Oregon. Dear Sir: Answering your telegram ad dressed to me at Tacouia regarding the supervision of the paving work for your city, and demanding that 1 personally visit the work, will say that 1 have made arrangement with Mr. Frederick Powell, who Is a com petent engineer, to assist me on the work which 1 huve in hand, and he baa already made three trips to Rose burg to give Instructions to Mr. Har tong and to direct the work of con structing the street pavement, which he would do under my Instructions. 1 expect to visit the work myself as often as necessary, and Mr. Powell Is ready to go as often as his services are required. However, Mr. Powell reported to me that on his last trip the committee of the city council hav ing the work lu charge, notified him that this arrangement was not satis factory, and that unless I personally supervised the work, that the con tract would be cancelled. While the most expensive part of the work has been done by me, 1 have no objec tions to the contract being cancelled If the City will pay me the amount due to date, as the City has failed tc comply with its part of the agree ment In many ways, and I have reason to believe that It will continue to do so. On account of other business and sickness, it will be Impossible for nu to go to Roseburg for at least a week, but Mr. Powell will go at any time he is called upon by you. Please advise me If you still ob ject to til is arrangement and oblige Very truly yours, "FRANK C. KELSEY."

Con cluding arguments to the jury In the Calhoun case are now being made by Francis J. Heney. In opening his re marks, Mr. Heney said: "There's enough In the records of this case to sink Patrick Calhoun to the bottommost pits of Hell. Tho evidence clearly shows that every hair on Calhoun is guilty. As Edmund Burke said in the trial of Warren Hastings, 'a criminal 1b trapped more often by tho things be tries to cover up than by the evidence of erinie that he leaves behind.' " Win. M. llojigs Will Contested. SAN FRANCISCO, June 17. A contest to set aside the will of the late William M. -Hoag, disposing of an estate valued at $200,000, has been started In the local courts by James A. Hoag, a brother. Tho dece dent was" a prominent capitalist of Oregon. He was one-of the promot ers, of the Oregon Pacific Railroad, now the Corvallis & Eastern, and he had large Interests at Albany, Cor vallis and Yaqulna, Oregon, and at other places In the northwest. The contestant alleges that undue inllu ance was brought to bear on his brother, and, as a result, ho was left only $15,000, while outsldors were given larger amounts. Canadian manufacturers were the only competitors of American mills. "Inexcusable and Indefensible from any standpoint," was the way he characterized the action of the com mit tee. He said that print paper was made at less cost In the United States than elsewhere and that a duty In any amount would be wrong In prin ciple. The finance committee has taken no action on President Taft's recom mendation for au income tax, pend ing receipt of a draft of the proposed amendment to the constitution from the attorney general.

WASHINGTON, June 16. The Senate today finally adopted the Philippine free trado provision of the turiff bill after voting down sov efnl amendments. The vote on flnnl adoption was 42 to 28. Six republi cans, Root, Borah, Brlstow, Clapp, Crawford and La Follelte, voted with the democrats against the finance committee proposition. Foster of Louisiana opposed the free admission of any Philippine sugar. He expresses the opinion that the establishment of free trade rela tions between the United States aud the Islands would destroy all hope of their independence. Showing an increase of Hawaiian sugar production from a small quan tity to more than 400,000 tons Inst year, Foster predicted that the Philip pine product would greatly exceed tho 300,000 tons provided for free admis sion In the pending bill. As the Ha waiian IslandB had not attracted Am ericans ns settlers, so he said, Ameri cans would never settlo the Philip pines. He opposed any policy of col onization that would never result lu an American community. YEAR AT O. A. C. ENDED. Degreess Given to 122 Gradual if of Thut Institution. CORVALLIS, Or., June 16.

LIGHTING SYSTEM f uooster uolt lias received 4 the drawings of the designs for 4 the lump posts for the pro 4 posed new street lighting sys 4 teni. Tho one most favored Is 4 an ornamental Iron post with 4 five translucent electric light J. globes on top. The Idea Is to 4 place one of these posts -on 4 the curbing at each street cor 4 nor, aud ubout three others on 4 each side of the street along 4 each block. This system would 4 consume no more electricity 4. than the present system and would light the streets better. They would also give the . streets a vory handsome and metropolltnu appearance. A number of property owners hnve already signified their wil lingness to purchase at least one of these ornamental posts to be placed In front of their buslncHH houses, and It Is probable that this idea will be lollowed up all over the paved area of our city. A definite conclusion as to this must bo reached soon, however, as the wires will have to go under ground to accommodate this system, and thlB will have to be done before tho new cement . sidewalks are laid. Let's have the new system and put the . electric wires under ground. IIADLEY TUHNS DOWN FAIR. MInhoiiI'I NimmIh Money at Homo for Kduciltinii and Its Poor.
