An amateur hunter in Maine
who killed a companion in mis
take for a deer has been ordered
to pay $G00 as a fine to the or
phan son of the victim. After a
while amateur hunters will bo
complaining of the prohibitive
fines which will put the chance
of making such mistakes out of
the roach of the deserving poor
among hunters.

A college professor now de
clares that love of the romantic
or clinging vino type is no g"od.
Neither may suit college profes
sors, but both have been in use
long before college professors
were thought of, and possibly
will ho found in the ring after
thoorios of love havu changed
fashion.
it seems to us unit tax payors
of Multnomah county should
have some other manner of as
certaining what their taxes total
without boing compelled to
either make a personal visit to
the shorilf's office or write for
same. It should be the duty of
the shoriff to mail statements to
all taxpayers as soon as the tax
roll had been made up. This is
something the tax payer is on
titled to.

lioio rotor to, nntl which will
atami tho olosoat invostitrution.
Not Intor thmi last Friday I
hoard you mako n sniol boforo n
jury iu tho city hal and told
thom that thoy should havo res-
puct for any ollicor that docs car
ry out tho oath of ofllce, and I
will uuroo with you thoro. but I
havo my disregard for n man
that has takoium oath of ollicel
and doos not fulfill his duty when
ho is paid for so ilointf.
Why aro you afraid to havo the
committee, which was appoint
ed at a mass meeting Hold at the
city hall a short time ago, meet
with tho Railroad Commission?
At that mass meeting held in the
city hall Hov. Woislo made u mo
tion insisting on ubandonimr
those meetings, as it was unnec
essary and uncalled for 011 tho
ground that you had this matter
in iiauu, as 1 mm uie uoor, 1
submitted to Hov. Weislo's mo
tion. Arising vote was called
for and motion was lost 2 in fa
vor and zQO or more against.
1110 prevailing sentiment was
not in favor of having you alono
naiuiio tins important matter.
So, Mr. Water User, 1 como to
tno conclusion that little can bo
lone. 1 ho only thing wo can
ilo is to bond ourselves for $100,-
Ann 1 . . '
wu ur more anu puc in a city
water plant, and contract with
tno Portland water board, and
then wo will know that wo havo
something besides a hole in tho.

The Best Light
At The Lowest Cost
ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large
or small, thereby furnishing any required
amount of light. Furthermore, electric lamps
can be located in any place, thus affording any
desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, there
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are
rapidly replacing all others in modern estab
lishments.
