"An act to appropriate' funds for . the con struction of a steamboat, canal at the Willamette falls." , :. They now contend 'that this title is no broad enough to authorise Insertion In the body of the act itself ot a taxing prevision of 10 per eent of their re ceipts, and show that the court has - held many acta unconstitutional for that same reason. - - - v. , , Section 20, article IV: of the Oregon constitution reads:,-7 "Every act shall embrace but -one; subject and matter ' properly connected therewith," etc. The attorney-general . holds that the etate granted the-corporation named a franchise, and. the payment of 10 per cent of the profits Into the school fund was a condition of tbe grant, and not a tax.

" T POSTOFFICE GRAFT THAT WOULD MAKE EVEN HENEY'S EYES WATER No boy Is too young to learn. Some sort of graft, it seems, Is in evidence everywhere. Even the newi boys and other youths who roam the streets and hang out around the public buildings In the down town district have conceived the Idea of working" a t is ingenlus method of holding up the pub either In the form of tips or some other Ho in some innocent way. An instance ojf this graft la a scheme frequently worked at the nostofflce by the boys. Ordinarily, the youngsters are not allowed to loaf in the corrldors-but since Policeman Joe .Burke . haa been removed to another beat thev have tak en advantage of the. fact and are more ' ." 1 1 1 1 in evidence about the buildlngthan ever . It is not an uncommon occurrence for customers of the lock boxes to leave their keys hanging in-the lock. Or dinarlly these' keys are taken in charge by tne Dostorrica cierxs ana returned to 'their rightful owner. But the boys are wise. They have learned to watcn for the opportunity of gaining posses sion or the Keys lert behind and then awaiting results. The -outcome is that the keyowner soon, returns, excited and worried. The boy picks out the troubled one and makes his find known. Ha claims to have found the keys on the floor. Then he Is rewarded and beglna looking for another victim.

The man who pays the order, whether a clerk in tbe money order department, a merchant or a private citizen,' is held for the amount of the postakorder. The person to whom the money is sent can not lose under any circumstances. - More - than a year-'-ao a travelinc missionary who was In Portland failed to get a money order that waa sent him from the east. It had either been lost or .stolen. Eventually It was pre sented at . Portland saloon and the proprietor cashed the little allp of pa per. He had seen the-man to whom he. had paid the money about the plane several times. Further than this he knew absolutely nothing about him nor does he remember ills description. The name of the minister was forged and the unknown man received the money and disappeared. All this time postal inspectors have been working on the case. They have been Unable to locate the man who re ceived the money. And as a conse quence the saloon keeper is held re sponsible for the money. He will pay It over to the department and then In turn the missionary will receive tho money due him which has been so long In transit This law of holding the individual who cashes a postal order responsible Is for tha protection of the customers of the money order department as well as the department ltseir. And lncl dentally the ruling has a tendency toward making everyone more careful in cashing these government checks.

Drugs are drugs, stimulants, narcotics, antidotes, poisons, not food. Electricity is nerve food- nerve life. It soaks into your nerves and is taken op by them just as a sponge absorbs water; it nourishes and vitalizes the parts which drugs cannot reach. Every ,dose of drugs that yon put in your stomach weakens your nerves. Every time .you kill a pain or an ache by stupefying the nerves with poisonous drugs, you are hurting them, and any one can see that in time, by steady dosing, your nervous system will be com pletely broken down. - - .
