Lawrence, manager of two farm journals circulating in Ohio ana .Mien - Igan, show that 714 per cent of the farmer of those states do not take any of the popular national magazines, In other states Mr. Lawrence believes this percentage will be found to be even greater.

WEAR YOUR RUBBERS. It Is not the province of this paper to act as a family doctor, and to pre scribe for Its readers' needs and ail ments; but In a winter like this It Is never out of place to offer the simple advice: Wear rubbers. It's a good deal pleasanter and cheaper than the doctor and his bills.

What the kaiser most needs is an editor with brains and courage enough to use his pencil unsparingly in im perial utterances before they are made public. William's Indiscreet talks on international affairs have workeJ mis chief in every quarter, and Germans of all shades of political belief have reached the conclusion that some check must be imposed upon the em peror. In fact, it has been made, and the promise he has Just made that in future he will speak only through his ministers, is a triumph for con stitutionalism. In that promise the emperor virtually abandons the ab surd theory of divine right that he has so long held, and it marks one g.-eat step forward In the direction of respou. slble government. If one should Judge of American family life, as many foreigners appar ently do, by the doings of the cor: upt rich and the annals of the divorce court, he would naturally Infer that the very foundations of the family as an institution, are honeycombed with rottenness. But these doings and au nals do not reflect the domestic life of the American people. They are but froth and excresences that, Tieiiis on the surface, attract attention, while the real life and domestic vlnuea that prevail In the vast majorltyof hoxes remain unnoticed. Probably in no other country is there relatively or actually such endearing home ilt-j, af fection and consideration as are seen In this country.

Oregon Gty HUBERT IS NEW FACTOR HEADS ELECTRIC POWER COM PANY TO BUILD PLANT .AT CAZADERO. CAPITAL IS $1,000,000 Concern Organiitd to Rival P. R.t L, A P. Co, and Will Erect $15,000 Horsepower Dam On Clsckamss. Organised for the purpose of enter ing the local light and power field In competition with the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company, there was incorporated Wednesday the Port laud Water Power & Electric Trans mission Company. The capital stock Is $1,000,000. Its president will be William H. Hnrlburt, former general manager of the O. W. P. Company. The new light and power cotupauy will erect dam, power plant and other equipment on the Clackamas, near Es tacada. and the entire industrial pro ject with its carrying and distributing system to Portland will entail an ex pendiiure of from $1,230,000 to $1. 500,000. according to President Hnrl burt. He also declares that the work on the project wilt begin as soon as a few technical deiails have been at tended to, and the plant Is to be ready for operation within two years. While It Is given out that the Port land Water Power and Electric Trans mission Company Is an entirely Inde pendent concern, It Is to all Intents and purposes a reorganlratkm of the Clackamas Land & Electric Company. formed about six weeks ago by Wirt Minor, C. K. Williams and Fred Mor ris. At that time It was given out that the plans of the original company were to begin work immediately upon a $500,000 plant capable of generating 15.000 horsepower, that Its dam would be of concrete, and with the power plant would be located at Estacada, about three miles below the present Cazadero plant of the Portland Rail way light ft Power Company. The new corporation will spend more than twice as much as was con templated by the Morris crowd, which was to make a colonization scheme on a tract of several hundred acres of land on both sides of the Clackamas at Estacada, this tract being the prop erty of Mr. Morris. In the process of organization, Mr. Morris Is eliminated. He states now that while It had been his Intention to go ahead right away with the plant when the Clackamas Land ft Electric Company was form ed, he entered an agreement with the new parties Involved whereby he was not to build any power plant of any kind in this vicinity. He adds that he did not interpret the agreement In tfils light when he signed it, 1ut he is now bound by it, and the work that was then planned was discontinued. Morris. It will be remembered, built the power plant of the Portland Gen eral Electric Company at Cazadero some years ago. CASTOR I A for Infant and Children.

But It has made a dis covery In the last few years In re gard to the saloon question. It has discovered that the existence of the saloon Increases Its taxes. It has come to believe that If there were no saloon there would be more tax money that could be used for schools and roads, Instead of for alms houses, lunacy asylums, penltentiarlos, re form schools, costly trials, etc.. It realizes that there would not be so much need for charity If there were no saloons. The social evil would dwindle to less than half its present strength, If the saloon goes. In an article by Henry Smith Wil liams. M. D.. LL. D., on Alcohol and the Community, many salient truths are pointed out as regards this great curse of America and of the world. It is shown that more than 25 per cent, of the Insanity, of the United States Is caused directly or Indirectly by the use of alcoholic beverages. The Lord Chief Justice of England says that, "If sifted, nine-tenths of the crime of England and Wales could be traced to drink." The committee of fifty, who made an examination of the pri sons of several states, state that the average per cent of persons sent te prison by drjnk Is 50 per cent. If this Is true, and all people cognizant of the facts acknowledge It to be true, then one-half of the cost of crim inal courts and of the maintenance of Jails and ' penitentiaries must be charged up to the saloon. This does not include In Its average the lesser crimes of drunkenness and misde meanor,' but those of felonious na ture. If these lesser crimes are In- Margaret Marshall, of Portland.

Preparation is being made at the First Baptist Church of Oregon City, to hold a "Watch Night Service," on the last night of the old year, Decem ber SI, 190S. The service will con sist of gospel songs, prayer, testimony, Bible verses repeated from memory, the ordinance of baptism and a ser mon by the Rev. Erastus A.

In the same ar ticle (see McClure's for Dec. 1908), it is said that statistics show that 80 per cent to 90 per cent of vagabonds as well as prostitution are due to drink, either as a cause or efToct. The committee of fifty examined into the cause of pauperism in several states and they found that 33 per cent of the paupers were caused by the per sonal use of drink. While 8.7 por cent were caused by the Intemperance of others. So, according to this over 40 per cent of our paupers are the result of drink. Two Hfths of the need of public and private charity is caused by drink. This Is no small item for in New York In 1907, 375, 000 persons applied for charity. Fifty per cent, of the. destitute children of America owe their condi tion to the drink habits of their par ents. Dr. Williams also hints that the di vorce evil may be remedied by the removal of the saloon. I believe that 50 per cent of divorces find their cause In the drink habit. Summarizing, we have 25 per cent of lunacy, 80 per cent of crime, 80 per cent of vagab6ndage, and prosti tution; 40 per cent of pauperism, and 50 per cent of the destitution of child ren are due to drink, and it is ac knowledged that there would be few er divorces without drink. The lunacy asylum at Salem costs the state about 1350,000 a year, and the nenltrintiary about $100,000. One- fourth of. $360,000 Is $87,500, and one half of $100,000 Is $50,000.. A total of $137,506, the toll we pay that the LUMBER FILTERS MORE WATER ADDITION JUST COMPLETED MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO CARE FOR 1,500,000 GALLONS.

The plant has been overhauled and painted. The tillers are of the latest Improved type. Special School Tax at Gladstone. The taxpayers of the Gladstone school district have made a special levy of 10 mills for the coming year On an assessed valuation of $270,000 this will produce $2700 which will tie applledtoward reducing the Moating debt of the district, The operating ex penses of the Gladstone school are about $2M per month. Sues for Damsgss. Mrs. S. 11. Johnson of Damascus, commenced a suit In the justice's court against Henry Kerst wing, for the recovery of $17. alleged duiuages for material and lumber of a build ing on her property, known as "hull barn." She alleges that In the fall of I'.iOi! the defendant unlawfully tore down the ham and carried away the lumber, windows and doors. AFFIDAVIT IS SENSATIONAL. (Continued from Page One.) the child. Jesse Williams was quitted by the court. It Is firmly believed by old friends of sahl family that the grandfather f the girl, by marriage, was the true father of the girl. This Jesse Wil liams now lives in the town of Free- mont, on a rural route running out of Uranton, Wis. This marshal of Nelllsvillo, whose name is J, W. Hommel, seems to have become Interested In the case for In another letter under date of lHcember 2, ho says: Regarding the Robinson woman, will say that I learned that her aunt lived In the village of C. run! on, and 1 went over there today. This aunt, an own sister to Mrs. Robinson's mother. Is Mrs. Cynthia Kmallne Uiwrey. She tells me that the child (Mrs. Robinson), was about four years old when her mother mnt ried. This first husband's name was Stace Core, with whom she lived about two years, when they separat ed. They had no children. She or ha Inter secured a divorce. Later she married a man by the name of Joyce Jennings to whom she had four daugh ters. Mrs. Jennings. Mrs. Robinson's mother, died about eight years ago, Mr. Jennings died about two years ago. both deaths occurring at Sugar lirove, a few mile from Vlroqua. It Is evident from what they tell me that Mrs. Robinson was born In that neigh borhood. When the Uiwreys came up Into this country, the girl came. Her people never lived here.. Mrs. Uiwrey tells me t hut her sis ter. (Mrs. Robinson's mother) told her that It was her own stepfather who was the father of her child. The man Williams was arrested on the charge but the case never came to trial. The scheme wns worked up by the stepfather In order to clear himself. None of the family ever lived nt Appletun or had any Interest In banks. The whole tribe was Hior and all girls and boys had to work out for a living. The name of the stepfather and father of Mrs. Robinson was Asbiiry Moore, lb- was burled nt Hugar (jrove. I did not learn whether the man had teeth at the time of his death or whether he hud ever had teeth, but they volunteered the Infor mation that he was "damned mean." I found yiiu bad wrltton the Uiw reys two fetters and wired them, but they were nut going to bother writing the tribe wasn't worth It. They think It some "skin game" of Kllle's. After Hoinii correspondence with Charles Iiwrey at (irantou, Wis., saloon may exist. This will require about one-fourth of one mill In taxes to pay with our present valuation. I have no figures nt hand to show what Is the cost to Clackamas County of the criminal cases tried In our courts or how much It costs the county to care for Its poor per year; but It would probably total one-half of one mill In our taxes, about half of which would probably bo traced to drink. Vut if the misery of wives and child ren, produced by drink, could bo con verted Into dollars Its sum would be so appalling ns to stagger the senses. Another thing that Is turning the thoughts of good citizens to prohibi tion Is tho utter disregard of the laws of tho land by the majority of saloon keepers. The saloon element has no political principles except to save Its own bacon. If the republicans turn against them they are democrats; if the democrats turn against them they are republicans. They colonize vot ers, corrupt officers, commit bribery, stuffthe ballot box anything to save the day to themselves. This does not apply to all saloon keepers; but It ap plies to them as a class. Many men thnnk that we cannot have a pure ballot till the saloon goes, and more are thinking so every day. Saloon keeping Is an outlawed business. Peo ple of a high sense of honor do not follow It. I think that if we could figure out all the costs that tax pay ers pay that the saloon may cxiHt, wo would find that It would amount to one mill on the dollar. Prohibition Is gaining becauso the saloon is shown to reach the tax pay ers' pocket books, because of the cor rupting Influence of the saloon at the ballot box, and its defiance of the laws of the land. - ' ' ' "F.
