It proaably was the brief est and most significant message on record, as it consisted merely ef the letter "S" made up of three tiny dots of the Morse code. Senator Marconi himself join ed in the program sending a "cor dial greeting to everyone interest ed in radio." He spoke from Lon don, concluding by reproducing the S" signal as he heard it come into the receiver on the bleak coast of Newfoundland on that cold and blustery day of Dec. 12, 1901.

The deliberations of the demo cratic house has caused surprise among those who do not under stand the complications of divid ing committee honors among a newly-victorious majority. To sat northern democrats, it be came necessary to modify the tra ditional rule of seniority, which would have given southerners nearly all the important places. This, however, meant simply sub stituting one puzzle for another. Every time a peg was moved. It displaced another. A dozen committee slates are reported to Vl.WA hfian mr1a mnA Kmlran In the search for a satisfactory com bination. Tonight there were In dications that real progress was being made at last.

No one with a heart could be comfortable snuggled down be tween his warm olankets if he knew that a sick lad just out of the hospital was shivering under an old quilt. Such would have happened Saturday night had not the Salvation Army officers found the situation and sent blankets to the home blankets and a cot, for tftere were already three mem bers of the family having to snare one bed. It may not seem much to give some little- thing into the kettles but the accumulated results do surprising things. The Salem Y. M. C.

(AP) The explosion which early today wrecked the home ofA W. Baker, wealthy California and Ohio oil man, and killed Mrs. Ba ker as she slept, was tonight at tributed to gas, and not to dyna mite as at first suspected, by Captain F. C. Ketzenberger of the Los Angeles police explosive squad. The blast burled the bed, on which Mrs. Baker lay, nearly through the roof. Baker was not injured but was treated for shock at a hospital. 'Our investigation shows." Ket tenberger said, "that the explo sion was caused by an accumula tion of gas under the floors of the house and concentrated beneath the bedroom. The gas furnace in the basement was in good order, and the accumulation apparently came from a leak in a small gas heater in the bedroom. The blow up was caused either by a spark from an electric warming pad in the bed, or from a match used in lighting the gas heater." Baker maintains ft summer home at Homeworth. Ohio. Mri and lira. Baker were married, five yeanrago at her former home at Graham, Texas. His first wife died eight years ago at Pasadena, When Baker gained his com posure at the hospital ha said ha suspected enemies had planted dynamite beneath the house, and police worked for several hours on the theory.

The $2,500,000 Water Bond Issue Special City Election, Dec. 15 TO THE CITIZENS OF SALEM : Every resident of Salem is sincerely interested in the City and wish es to do what is best for it. Next Tuesday we are to decide whether or not we shall issue $2,500,000 in bonds to be used by S-lem for buying th. present water system and for extending its intake mains to the Little North Fork of the Santiam River. This proposal is important enough to command our serious and thorough study and to demand that our vote be guided by the actual facts. A number of us, representing various vocations, believe that the Bond Issue should not be approved. And we request your thoughtful consid eration of the reasons for this judgment. 1. In these hard times, when mechanics, business men, laborers, pro fessional men, all of us are trying desperately to keep going, a bond issue of $2,500,000 would not be wise. The bonds could be sold only at a heavy discount, because there now is virtually no market for bonds that bear a maximum rate of five per cent or less. The net amount that could be realized is now subject to a good many hazards. 2. A city that is heavily bonded does not appeal to prospective resi dents or to factories. Nor can we who are here be pleased with a burden which others wish to avoid. 3. If the city becomes the owner of the water system, we will lose annually the $16,000 taxes now paid by the present owners. 4. It is conservatively estimated that the city-owned system would entail an operating loss of $55,000 each year on the average over the forty-year period; but for the first ten years the loss would certainly be $100,000 each year. 5. To make up these losses we would have to accept an Increase ei ther in water rates or in taxes amounting to about four mills. 6. The proposal does not provide for extending the present city mains, or for service connections, or for additional meters. These would have to be paid for by more taxes or by new customers providing they may be secured. 7. Water taken from the Little North Fork of the Santiam would be no purer than Willamette River water under purification process. Mines and unprotected areas now contaminate the Santiam waters, making them unsafe to be used before they are purified. We will gain nothing by exchanging Willamette water for Santiam water. Two million five hundred thousand dollars 13 too much to spend on an uncertain trade. 8. The owners of the present system are ready promptly to complete the purification process, thus insuring good water to Salem by next ummer. Adoption of the Bond Issue will oblige us to wait for good Water indefinitely three, four, five, how many years T 9. The present company's program of Improvement will give em ployment to many men for an extended period of time, a matter that will mean much to men, families, and stores. For these reasons we think it for the best interests of the people of Salem that the proposed Bond Issue should be defeated. Your own thought will doubtless suggest other reasons; therefore, we trust that you will not fail to go to the polls next Tuesday, December 15, and vote VOTE 101 X NO U. S. Page F. E. Manley P. D.
