Having bought our stock of Xmas Goods early, we obtained ex-
ceptionally good cash discounts and by shipping by steamer around
the Horn we saved also considerable on freight rates, This saving we
intend giving our patrons the advantage of.
We are now displaying one of the largest and neatest Holiday
lines in the city.
Owing to our limited floor space, we are not able to show all we
have but "if you don't see what you want ask for it." We are sure to
have it. ,
We want to call your attention especially to our fine showing of
faamed and unframed pictures. Hundred of subjects to pick from, nu
merous, pretty and novelty framees, handsome water colors, and at
pricer we will guarantee you can't equal.
We haven't room to mention all the attractive presents we have in
store for you but want you to come in and see for yourself. Be free to

you want to.

grange has an organization. The su
perintendent will one to the appointing
of some competent person in each
grange, and in any other community
where he may deem It advisable to
circulate the petitions.
"After they are circulated the pe
titions for each county will all be
forwarded to the County Superintend

are certified to by the County Clerk !
and then sent on to Bro. Grlsenthwalte
who will, in turn, attend to the filing
with the Secretary of State. Ar
rangements will also be made to have
the petitions circulated In counties
which are not organized.
"It is important that those who are
selected to act as County Superin-
tendents and to circulate the petitions
: will not hesitate to take up the work
' promptly and willingly and endeavor
to fill all petitions as soon as possible.
County Superintendents will be sup

would be a great defeat for us if we
should fail. It will be a splendid vie
tory for us If we win. The Interests
and good name of our Order are at
stake In this matter; let each member
feel a persohal responsibility and rally
to its support.
"There has been considerable una
voidable delay in the final prepara
tion of the bills with the petitions for
circulation. Although two of the best
qualified members of the Order in our
state prepared them with great care,
modeling them after laws in success
ful operation in other states, yet your
committee, realizing the strenuous ef
forts that would be made to break
them down in the courts to render
them useless by artful devices to es
cape the enforcement of their provi
sions, deemed it wise to consult other
legal authority before submitting them
to the public. In this way a number
I of the provisions have been changed
and some new features of a minor
nature have been added. It is difficult
I to forestall every point upon which
i they will be attacked and every means
that will he undertaken to dodge them.
It is felt, however, that the Bills have
been strengthened and improved and
such as they are they must now be
put to the test.
"The die is cast. The battle is now
on. We must win; let us admit no
other outcome.

SALEM, Or., Dec. 11. The enthu
siasm of the people of Salem over the
beginning of construction work on the
Portland-Salem electric line was man
ifested in no uncertain manner this
morning, when a large crowd gathered
to see ground broken at 7:: 30 o'clock.
Work began where the present street
car track crosses Cottage street, in
North Salem. At the appointed hour
150 men were present, ready to go to
work as laborers, and as many more
prominent business men were there
to see the first shovelful of dirt
thrown. H'. N. Stoudenmeyer's band
discoursed music while the crowd waa
assembling.
Mayor F. W. Waters presided and
called upon Colonel E. Hofer, R. J.
Hendricks, George F. Rodgers, W. H.
Holmes and Manager A. Welch, of
the Willamette Valley Traction Com
pany, for addresses. The speeches
were short, but full of enthusiasm and
expressions of faith in the bright fu
ture in store for this part of the Will
amette Valley.
Manager Welch said in his address
that the trip from Salem to Portland
will be made in one hour and a half
and the fare will not exceed $2 for
the round trip. The first shovel of
dirt was thrown by Mayor Waters.
That the construction work will be
rushed is evident from the way the
work has been commenced. A score
of teams have been engaged, and to
the casual observer, it looked as
though picks and shovels enough had
been supplied to build the whole line.
The gang of men put at work this
morning is only the first of a number
that will be employed. As the grading
progresses gangs will be employed
laying ties and rails, ballasting, build
ing bridges, setting poles, string wires,
etc.
The construction of the road will
alone mean the expenditure of a con
siderable sum of money In this part of
the Valley this Winter and next Summer.
The building of this electric rail
way line over the route that has been
decided upon will not prove of any de
cided advantage or convenience to
this city. The route of the road ex
tends from Salem northward as far
as Wheatland when It crosses the
Willamette river and proceeds thence
to Portland by the West Side. Unless
the present plans are altered, the
nearest point to Oregon City at which
the road will pass is Tigardville, which
is some six miles west of this city.

Initiative petitions, originating with
an executive committee of the State
Grange, and proposing the enactment
of laws licensing various corporations,
are being circulated in this county
under the direction of William Grlsen
thwalte, of this county, who is su
perintending this work in the state
under the direction of the members of
the executive committee.
One of the petitions seeks to create
laws imposing a license of 3 per cent
on the gross receipts of sleeping cars,
refrigerator cars and oil companies.
Another asls that, a law be enacted
exacting a license of 3 per cent of the
uross earnings of express companies
nnd a license of 2 per cent on the same
basis from telegraph and telephone
companies. Both of these petitions
n'-e being largely signed by Clackamas
county voters.
In discussing the subject, the exe
cutive committee of the Grange, in a
recent issue of the Oregon State
Grange Bulletin, published the fol
lowing: "liei'ore this issue of the Bulletin

of their weight. With the increase of
population the demands upon all in
stitutions of a public character are
increased and this means the need of
increased revenues. Is this constant
ly increasing demand to be met only
by piling up the taxes higher and
higher upon the tangible property of
the state? Such has been the history
of the past. The proportion of the
burdens of taxation which real estate
bears has steadily increased for ,many
years and must continue to do so with
great and increasing detriment to the
farming, interests of the state unless
some other plan of raising revenue
shall be adopted.
"The provisions of these proposed
measures are moderate. Should they
become laws, while they would aid
materially in providing revenue for
the stale, the burdens they would im
pose upon the interests affected would
not be excessive. ' They would not be
anjvgreater than those which the hold
ers of tangible property have been
obliged to bear. Similar laws are in
force in some other states. Yet the
same and other similar corporations
have managed to live and do business
there. They have not left those states
on account of the taxes as some of our
timid legislators have professed to
fear they would do if we undertook to
tax them here. .
"The Grange has. in the past, thro'
its legislative committee and thro'
resolutions, memorials and petitions
from the stateAcounty and subordinate
granges, assisted by numerous other
organizations and interests, endeavor
ed to secure from the legislature laws
of a similar import to these. The in
terests thatfwere affected by the pro
posed legislation always have and al
