Men who file contests on homestead claim' in the Siletx country from" this time on will have to be sure that their grounds for contest are .Valid and that they have their evidence In hand be fore they file, or -they will find them selves In hot water with the land de partment. - ' - Orders have been sent to Oregon land offices and to C. R. Glavls, chief of the field division work of the land depart ment, from the interior department, to the effect that no- contests ehall be allowed until Mr. Glavls haa made a personal Investigation which will sat isfy htm that the contest is made In good faith and upon sufficient grounds. This ruling is expected to put an end to the contest abuaea which have ex isted In relation to Silets homestead claims for some time past. Time Timber Coveted. In the Silets district is some of the finest Umber In the state, and thla has been much sought after by the tim ber barons and by dthers who desire to secure title to the land for specula tive purposes. Out of this condition has grown the contest abuse. Men who have srone Into the Silets in good faith and have filed upon homestead claims. there have had these claims contented right and left by men who have gone in either for personal speculation or as the agents of timbermen who desire the land,:. So common did the abuse be come that there were a number of law yers in Portland who did nothing else, practically, but represent these contes tants. In many of these cases the con tests were fUeji for purposes of black mall, it being represented to the home steader that the contest would be dropped if he would pay sdme certain sum ' to secure such action. If the homesteader did not meet these de mands, he would be put to the expense of gathering hla witnesses together, bringing them to Portland for the hear ing and hiring an attorney to repre sent him only to find that after he had done all these things the contestants failed to appear at the hearing. Appeal to Washington. So notorious did the practice become that the settlers appealed to the Ore gon Relegation In eengrreas for" assist ance. The matter was taken up by Senator Bourne with the department of the interior and the general land office, and after hia presentation of the case the order recently sent to the officers here was promulgated. This order will nut out of business the lawyers who have been making the contest cases their principal means of livelihood, and will at the same time protect both the honest settlers and the honest contestants who may ' have grounds for contesting an entry made illegally or for fraudulent purposes. BACK FROM EAST C. P. Wright and wife Beturn Prom a Mine Week's Trip. C. F. Wright and wife returned last Friday from an extended tour of the southern and Atlantic states. They spent some time at the national capital and visited relatives in Jamestown, New York and in Montana on the road home. Mr. Wright reports that the prettiest part of their trip was their tour of the New England states most of which was made In an automobile. They mo tored over the Berkshire hills of Ver mont and through Connecticut and Massachusetts. The weather during the trip was delightful and the autumn foliage was at Its hfst. Several days were spent in the vicinity of Niagara Falls. In speaking of Detroit Mr. and Mrs. Wright both agreed that If they had to move elsewhere, Detroit would be. first cholc on account of Its well paved streets and general air of pros perity and thrift. "The most scenic lines we traveled over," said Mr. Wright, "were the Denver and Rio Grande, New York Central on the Hudson, and the Northern Pacific in the Rockies." liquors. Ope price to all.'

Company's Presi dent Says New Lighting Bid Will Make Money for City If Claim to Reduction for Outages Is Dropped. Fresh' fuel haa been added to the con troversy between the city executive board and the Portland Railway, Light & Power company over the city light ing next year by the statement of Presi dent Josselyn that if the company's bid is accepted it will mean a saving to the city of 127.000 for the five years the contract Is to run provided the city will drop Its contention that the btll for 1908 be reduced for "outages."? This statement of the president of the electric company, Issued late yester day afternoon, directly contradicts the tenor of the report of - Thomas G. Greene of the lighting committee of the executive board, as published in yester day's Journal. Mr. Greene told the ex ecutive board that if the city would not abandon Its claim to $29,000, .the deduction for the "outages" .and to which he believes the city is entitled, it must, according to the electric com pany's demands, pay an aggregate of 50,000 in the next five years for its lights. A significant feature of President Josselyn's statement Is his remark that: "No official of this company has been authorized to state that we will not turn off city lights December 81 If a new contract is not entered Into with this company." Mr. Josselyn says nd definite plan has been formulated. Hays Bate Proportionately the Sains. "Inasmuch as there appears to be a desire in certain quarters to purposely mislead the public In regard to prices named In our bid for city lighting, we think it proper to let the publio know the exact f acta tn the- matter. "The bldwe ave submitted to the city doea not contemplate any Increase whatever In the rate now charged for lighting the streets of the city. The rate proposed for Incandescent lighting is on a little different basis thanbefore. predicated upon meter measurement, so that we will receive payment for exact amount of current used. Instead of on the basis of a flat rate, as heretofore; and while it contemplates a little greater gross compensation to us for incandescent lighting, than under the present contract, the amount is so small that it ts not worthy of serious con sideration. , "It is stated that our bid for city lighting will, if accepted, cost the city $15,000 per year more than at present. This is absolutely false. The rate quoted the city is no higher than at present, the cost to the city being increased only in proportion to the Increase in number or lights used. "We have also proposed that in the event of the city dropping their contro versy over our present bills for city lighting (which, for the 10 months' period covered would involve' approxi mately $25,000) we will reduce the cost of each arc lamp to the city $3.60 per annum, and the .cost of incandescent lighting one cent 'per kilowatt hour. Declares Plan a Saving-. "On the basis of the present number of arc lamps installed, this would ef fect a saving to the city of about $5,760 ?er annum, or $27,800 for the five years, f the increase in arc lamps is in like proportion for the next five years to that of the last five years, the saving to the city for the five year period, bv acceptance of our proposal, would ap proximate $40,000. We have no fears of the outcome of a suit against the city for the fulfillment on its part of its present contract with us for city light ing; but would much rather have the matter settled amicably and without feeling or delay, in the manner indi cated In our bid. . whereby the city would save the $40,000 referred to. "No official of this company haa been authorized to state that we will not turn off city lights on December 31. 1908, if a new contract is not entered Into with this company; no definite plan of procedure in such an emergency has been determined upon. We prefer to let the future take care of Itself In that particular. "We have no desire whatever to profit at the expense of the city., but to give the city the best of every proposal, in that we are more vitally Interested In the welfare of the commonwealth than possibly any other corporation, concern or individual. As evidence of this, the provialonal rates we have quoted the city are the lowest made to any city, of the same or greater size. In the en tire United States. Norris Safe & Lock Co.
