Although Mr. ltogers. agnlnot

alllcged cruelty, walked through the
deep now'roiu til ranch In the l'p

Dletrlct for $lJ,Ut0 damage wa
given a verdict of $J.Vi. In the case
of a fiscal agency of l'ortland that
brought suit to recover commission
fur Helling stock for the Hood Klver
Mineral Springs Company, a verdict
was awardeil plaintiff to the full
ntuount In what Is claimed to be the
record time In the tate for n jury
trial. The Jury vas selected and a
verdict rendered In 40 minutes. The
Milt wa Instituted against R. A.
Alnsworth, the company's secretary,
who It wa claimed had withheld
commission. Money due Alnsworth
from the company wa attached to
satisfy the verdict.
Arguments In the Injunction suit
of J.' F. Hatchelder against the city
council, restraining the latter from
making a contract for lighting the
city without calling for competitive
bids, w ill te heard at The Italics to

A Great Library For tha Blind.
The library for the blind in London
contains 800 volumes. An average vol
ume In ordinary type makes ten or fif
teen volumes when prepared according
to tbe Braille system for the use of
blind readers. Thus tbe Bible makes
thirty-five bulky volumes. Among the
books In this library are all the best
English novels as well as many his
tories and biographies.
Neat aud natty job printing quick
executed at the News office.
An Increase ;f over ." per cent In
the numlter enrolled In the winter
short course at the Oregon Agricul
tural College over the registration at
the same time last year Is reported
by K an A. B. Cordlej.
This Is the fifteenth year the special
winter course has been offered and
the added facilities In new buildings
and laboratories, additional faculty
and equipment, will aid In making It
by far the most interesting and use
ful to the farmers, orchardmen
and stockmen of the state of any
course la the history of the Institu
tlou.
Many of the lectures are to be sum
marized In mimeographed or type
written form for the students to take
home with them, so that they may
have them In a permanent form to
refer to. Five times as many have
enrolled from Hermlston as last year,
and two men have come all the way
from Omaha, Neb. A number of oth
ers have come from British Columbia
and the state of Washington Is well
represented. Large delegation have
come from the Hood Iliver and
Rogue River districts, also, a well
as from almost every part of Oregon.
More Inquiries a to w ork In aul
mal husbandry were received by
I'rof. K. L. Potter this year than
ever before, and dilrylng has re
awakened the Interest of many. The
new dairy building Is being rushed to
completion for the use of the short
course, and the new horticulture
building 1 already occupied, as are
also the farm mechanics, mechanic
art, and stock judging buildings.
The latter pavilion Is a great Im
provement over the previous quar
ter In the college barns, where dem
onstration and Judging work were
done. The new building Is heated
and free from drafts, and the big
room, lH)x:s feet. Is divided by a can
vas curtain at times, so that two
classes may be held there at once.
Pleurisy pains a re located just below
the shore ribs. Lumbago affects the
same region, but toward the back.
Ballard' Snow Liniment Is the rem
edy In either case. If rubbed In thor
oughly It eases pain, relaxes the
muscles and the patient can move
about freely and comfortably. Price
2.V, 0e and fl.OO per bottle. Sold
by Chas. N. Clarke.
It pays to advertise.
It Is probable that the matter of
revising the city charter so a to
make It conform to the present and
growing needs of the city will U un
dertaken by the new council and
something definite accomplished
along this line. The Judiciary com
mittee of the old council has recom
mended that thl matter le taken up
by the new body with a view to put
ting It through, aud nitlon will prob
ably be taken In the near future.
It was nearly a year ago when
steps were taken to effect such a re
vision. At th'it time a committee of
three was appointed to submit a re
vised charter. This committee was
made up of A. A. Ja.vne, Judge Icr
by and ex Mayor Hartwlg. It wa
disorganized, however, before any
thing wa accomplished, Mr. Ja.vne
leaving the city and Mr. Hartwlg
being also absent. On account of
the extensive plans which are being
made for the improvement of the
city, the need of a new charter at
this time Is emphasized.
The new judiciary committee
which will have supervision of this
Importunt work Is composed of
Messrs. Mayes, Brosius and Strnua-han.

YOU cannot escape- the much debated question of woman suf
frage. You must make up your mind on OXE SIDE OR
THE OTHER, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to
mako up your mind on any but one side.
Many misunderstand our aims even as yet. We do not seek to en
franchise all women arbitrarily or any particular class of women. We
merely want the qualification to bo the same for women as for men.
Wo desire that sex shall ceaso to be a reason for disfranchisement
when it does not relievo of responsibility. We are TAXED ALIKE,
and the SAME OBEDIEXCE TO LAW is exacted of us as of
men. If we break tho law wo are not exempt from punishment be
cause we are women. In fact, there are frequently SPECIAL
LAWS FOR WOMEN, restricting their rights and providing pun
ishment for infractions in Bpito of tho fact that the women had no
voice in tho making of them.
REASONS WHY THE ULTIMATE SUCCESS OF THE MOVEMENT
IS INEVITABLE ARE THE INCREASING AMOUNT OF LEGISLATION
AFFECTING MY SEX AND ALSO SOCIAL AFFAIRS. IN BOTH IN
STANCES NO PERMANENTLY BENEFICIAL LAWS CAN BE DRAFTED
WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE ON THE SUBJECTS
THAT WOMEN ALONE POSSESS.

SOME FACTS ABOUT AUTO TRUCKS
The Following Article, Taken from the Last Issue of the Commercial Car Journal
THE COMMERCIAL CAR HAS PASSED THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE
Emphatically Proven By the Experience and Testimony of Hundreds of Users. Out of 876 Only 6 Per Cent Say That They Are Still Experimental
In our last issue we announced the receipt of a large number
of letters from users of commercial motor cars, in reply to our
query as to whether the commercial motor car had passed the ex
perimental sta?e. We stated that from a hurried examination of
the letters, the great majority of the writers were convinced that
the commercial motor car was a practical machine, and very far
beyond the experimental stage. A careful perusal and tabulation
of the letters reveals the fact that we did not make our statement
strong enough.
Of 931 letters received, 55 declined to give any opinion what
ever, because it was against the policy of the concern to make any
statement regarding anything which they used, or for some reason
of a like nature. Of the remaining 876, no less than 643 (73 125)
of the letters stated emphatically that, from their experience, and
in their opinion, tr.e commercial motor car had long since passed
the experimental stage and has been a practical and economical
machine for many years Indeed, though the CCJ was thoroughly
convinced of this fact before propounding the question to the users,
the perusal of these letters has been a revelation.
That such a large percentage of users in every possible class of
trade, covering all sorts of service, should so uniformly have se
cured such excellent service, in view of the fact that the successful
operation of commercial motor cars depends so largely upon intelli
gent handling by the driver and by the garage man, is incontesti
ble proof that the principal obstacle under which commercial motor
cars have been laboring for so many years-that is, the difficulty
of securing ca'eful and comjetent drivers is disappearing very
rapidly.
We very much regret that we haven't space available to print
all of these letters, as we firmly believe that the printing of such
a mass of proof of satisfactory service, covering every possible
trade, all kinds of conditions of service and almost every make of
commercial car at present on the market, would be an argument
which could not fail to convince the most skeptical.
Of the remainder of the letters, 118, or 1312 ier cent, state
that their use of commercial motor cars has been so limited that,
although they have had satisfactory results during the time that they have used them,
they do not feel that their experience has been of sufficient length, or of sufficient
extent for them to give an opinion. We are reproducing some of the letters herewith from
Tabulation of Answers Received to the .Query, "Has the Commercial
Motor Car Passed the Experimental Stage?"
Column "A"73 per cent, answered unquali
fiedly "Yes."
Column "B" I J4 percent, were non-committal
because of insufficient experience.
Column "C" 7 per cent, answered "No"with a
qualification.
Column "D" 6 percent, answered ''No" unqualifiedly

this class, from which it will be apparent that they actually have
had a successful experience, but yet are unwilling to express them
selves on the subject. This 13 12 per cent, therefore, cannot be
classed as on the negative side of this question, and therefore must
necessarily be classed as on the affirmative side.
The next division of letters, containing 62. representing 7 per
cent of the total, are from concerns who say that they do not re
gard the commercial motor car as being past the experimental
stage; but from specimens of letters selected from this division, it
will bo seen that they qualify this statement by saying that some
makes of cars are successful and cannot be classed as experiments,
or that, for some classes of service, the commercial car is beyond
the experimental stage; in other words, they state, in effect, that
the commercial motor car is past the experimental stage in some
cases, while not in others; so that this class can also not be counted
on the negative side.
The remaining division of only 53 letters, representing 6 per
cent, unequivocally expressed their opinion that the commercial
motor car has not passed the experimental stage. A perusal of
these letters, of which we also print some examples, shows that
some of these cases at least are not to be counted against the com
mercial motor car, as the alleged failure of the cars was due more
to mishandling or misapplication than to imperfections. We doubt
if their is any other piece of machinery, which must of necessity
meet so many and so varied conditions, that could make a better
showing. Of 876 users of all sorts of commercial motor cars, only
6 per cent unequivocally state that they have not had good results,
and that in their opinion, the commercial motorcar is not past the
experimental stage.
We give herewith a classified table, showing the main classes
of trade represented by the letters received. These are divided
into the various divisions, as enumerated in table. From this it will
Ikj seen that some classes of trade have, apparently, secured much
better results, proportionately, than others; but on the whole, the
experiences of the various classes oT trade are almost on a parallel
with each other.
