A Great Discovery
HARRY CRAIN, managing editor of the Capital Journal,
has xns.de a great discovery. With the modesty of a town
detective he proclaims it, two columns deep. The great dis
covery is that the famous Thomas bill to make the commis
sioner of utilities a czar, strips him of all power over electric
power plants and water systems. "X marks, the spot," and
Hawkshaw Crain finds it in section 32 of senate bill 19,
which amends the definition of "public utility" previously
embraced in section 61-201, Oregon code. Crain says that
insertion of a provision excluding small town bus lines has
worked also to exclude electric power systems and water
plants.
Now all of this would come under the head of "import
ant if true." Not being true there is not the slightest im
portance to be attached to his yarn. A reference to the sec
tion and the application of common rules of grammar dis
close the absurdity of Crain's fine-spun theory. We print in
parallel columns the Crain rendering of the section; and the
sensible, grammatical method of reading it Crain put in
capital letters the inserted clause, and takes the idea that the
subsequent matter is part of this same inserted provision.
The conjunction introducing the subsequent matter however
is "or for" and is correlative with the previous "or for,"
which makes the clause it introduces correlative with "tele
graph or telephone" and "transportation of persons." To
make the subsequent matter a part of the inserted excluding
provision the conjunction should have been "or to." Here
they are :

a child (now three years ef age) to
become deaf and dumb after birth
or Is this a congenital condition, ha
most cases? Would an attack ef
"flu" be apt to account for the
trouble? The child is otherwise
healthy and normal.
A '-If the child Is deaf, this would
account tor the fact that she does
not talk. A thorough examination
should help to determine just where
the trouble lies. It Is possible that
the child became deaf after birth.

The "Go" Signal
THE reopening of the banking houses over the counuy has
given business the "go" signal. There is a surge in prices
both of securities and commodities. Much of this is specul
ative; and it Is too early to say definitely that it will not
prove abortive. But the refreshed attitude of the business
world gives ground for the opinion that advances will hold
and that further increases will follow. Our troubles have
been so largely psychological that if we can replace melan
choly with optimism the depression may soon cure itself.
Business men now should put the buzz in business. On
their disposition to venture somewhat will depend the speed
of revival. The resistances of fear and doubt and uncer
tainty and despair will have to be broken down. Business
interests cannot expect restoration of public buying until
they set a pace for it
There may speedily come a day when commodity prices
will climb the ladder as swiftly as they fell. We have seen
the fluctuations of prices for so long that we know they can
go up as well as down. The fellow who is looking for the
absolute low dollar may find himself waiting in vain. The
tide may come in like it does at the bay of Fundy.
At any rate, there is the green light for going forward.

They were also granted a warrant
for 3261.18 and one for $241; ev
idently tor extras or changes or
dered by the architect.
The eourt also ordered a war
rant made to them for 81800,
"for interest." The next day, the
court authorized the writing of a
386 warrant for the contractors,
to cover an approved "bill render
ed, probably also for extras.
That seems to have closed the
"new eourt house" account. The
writer has not stopped to figure
up the total; but it waa not tar
from 1100,000 Including furni
ture and furnishings, some of
which were for the new jaU, in
the ' basement of the building.
The old Jan had been a small red
brick building on the southeast
corner of High and Court streets.
The eourt house grounds were
low originally. Steamboats ran
nearly up to them in 'the flood of
'61 and '62 from South High
street. Under the administration
of Judge W. O. Hubbard. In the
nineties, there was an expendi
ture ot 37000 to 88000 for filling
up ine grounds.
There hare been changes on the
interior from- time to time. At one
period, under the supervision of
"Charley Gray, Improvements
were made costing 82600 to 34.
000. This was long before the
slow elevator was put in, and the
decking for the offices ot the sur
veyor, county road supervisor,
etc.
. la
There is no call for another new
eourt house. Without changes In
the beautiful exterior, the build
ing may be made to. accommodate
a vastly greater business. With a
fast elevator, the fourth story
might be used for other purposes
than storing discarded Junk.
In the days covered by this sur
vey of the county court's records,
a lot of interesting history was
written therein the creation of
such precincts as that ot Gervals
and Marion, etc., etc.. and many
roads laid out and changed. The
"grocery" (saloon)' and ferry li
censee alone would make a good
story. The criminal trials and
election returns given space on
the long-hand pages would make
many stories. The pay of the
commissioners for per diem and
mileage was for each month gen
erally 321 for the member com
ing from the north end and 318
for the one attending from over
Silverton or Aumsrille way.
