At the council meeting last night a letter from Shipley & Co., of San Francisco, was presented by Council man Strain. In the same was con tained a preliminary estimate of the cost of installing a municipal light ing plant with the Umatilla river as the source of power. It was estimat ed that to Install the plant would cost 1101.130 Owing to the fact that the city is not in a position to take up tne question of a municipal plant at this time no action was taken re garding the matter Newport & Son offered to purchase the East Court street Improvement bonds at par, provided no higher bids were reecived by the council The bonds amount to about $2500 and are for the work on East Court aside from the intersections. The bonds were made necessary because some property owners took advantage of the 10 payment provision in paying their assessments. KAY HAIRED CLAIM. Major Moorbotixe Has City Warrant! Issued 21 Year Ago and Still Un paid. Major Lee Moorhouse, now city treasurer, has a claim against the city for $150 upon a warrant that was ;sued him 21 years ago, but which, according to the record, has never been paid. The fact that the city owes him $150 was accidentally discovered by the major since he became the guar dian of the city's money. On look ing over the books of by-gone days he discovered that a warrant issued in favcr of himself for $150 had never been presented for payment. Ac cording to the major he has no per sonal recollection of the warrant and does not know where it is. However, he is convinced from the record that he never received the money for the scrip and that he has a valid claim against the town. It is possible the city will pay the amount provided Ma jor Moorhouse will file a bond to pr'?!ct the city In case the original warrant 5hou.ld, be found and pre sented.

NETWORK OF LINES IN WILLAMETTE MOItE ELECTRIC LINES TO BE CONSTRUCTED. By January 1, 1900, Oregon Electric Hallway Company Will Have 100 Miles of Line In Operation in the Willamette Valley Trunk line Prom Salem to Portland Is 65 Miles Long. The Salem Statesman says of the extension of the electric railway sys tern In the Willamette valley: By the first of January, 1909, the urcgon. Kiecinc Hallway company will have 100 miles of main line In operation, representing the one prlncl pie trunk line from Portland to Sa lem, and two extensions, one from Salem to Albany and the other from point near the southern city limits to Portland to HUlsboro and Forest Grove. The system will be the finest that money can build, and sufficient pro gress has been made In the way of surveys, purchase of rights of way, securing of steel and other structural material, that the corporation feels safe In announcing the completion of the system at, and possibly before, the date mentioned. The trunk line from Salem to Port land Is 56 miles In length, the Forest Grove extension upon which construc tion work will be begun within 3 ft days Is 21 miles long, while the Salem Albany extension will be 27 miles long. Gangs of surveyors have been in the field for several days working on three distinct routes for the extension fmm Salem to Albany, and It Is an nounced that work on this extension will be begun Just as soon as the line to Forest Grove has been completed, which will be in about six months. Three routes are being surveyed so that the most direct as well as the most desirable as to grade and other physical features may be found. General Manager Talbot and Chief Engineer Turner have been over the various routes considered within the last week and preliminary work will be rushed as fast as conditions will permit. The contracting firm of W. S. Harstow & Co. will construct both the Forest Grove and the Salem-Albany extensions. DANCERS APRIL FOOLED. Fake Banquet Given by Woodcraft Girls can-in the Gullible The biggest April fool Joke of the day was sprung at the dance given by the Woodcraft girls In Eagles' hall last night and It worked to a charm. At 10 o'clock it was announced that a Rrand march would be held and at the conclusion a banquet would be served In the banquet room above. Ac cordlngly the grand march was form ed anl after some evolutions around the room the long line of dancers was led to the room above. On entering the banquet room the Marcher! found long rows of tables neatly arranged as though for I spread of much magnitude. But at each plate there was nothing but n cup of water and a solitary toothpick. Not until most of the crowd had be come seated was It made known that tne scheme was a Joke.. A erate of lemons was then opened and handed out to the guests, The dance last night was given by the guard teams of the two Wood craft circles and it was very success ful In every way.

Some People Expect New Shoes to Hurt Ana mey are seldom disappointed. They buy that kind. The fact that a shoe should feel comfortable from the start Is unknown to them because they have never felt the luxury of putting on a rightly made shoe. They overlook the fact that a Hanan Shoo at its price gives the wear of two pairs of the unscientific made kind they buy. They forget, also, that a Hanan Shoe offers more real comfort when Wlnthrop L. Marvin In the Review of Reviews for April says of the cruise of the. Atlantic fleet, under the title "The Greatest Naval Cruise of Modern Times": It has been said that the expense of this voyage of circumnavigation was 1 25,000 a day, or somewhat more not reckoning the interest on the Investment of almost $100,000, 000 of the national resources in the first cost of the ships themselves. But it should be borne carefully In mind that the maintenance of the ships with their officers and crews must go on Just the same, whether the fleet is in Narrangansett Bay or Magdalena Bay, In Hampton Roads or the Straits of Magellan This is ture even of the burning of coal. An American armored fleet In commis sion is pre-eminently a working fleet. It doel not lie long at anchor. It visits navy yards only for essential supplies or periodical overhauling. More than most of the war fleets of the world Is ours accustomed to be In blue water. Regularly every year the Atlantic ships have been wont In the early winter to leave the home coast and steer southward for drill grounds In the genial Carribean, un vexed by cutting sleet and smothering fog Then in the spring the fleet has fol- j lowed the sun northward, constantly maneuvering and regularly exercis ing In that practice with the guns which has won for our present crews such a wonderful proficiency In marksmanship. This long voyage around South Am erica has been made at the ordinary cruising speed of about 10 knots an hour, and after a run of from eight to 15 days at sea the battleships have had from five to 10 days In the va rious ports of call, at Trinidad, Rio de Janeiro, Punta Arenas and Cal lao They have not been steaming all the time, and though they have con sumed a very great quantity of coal, they would have used mueh coal on their usual winter drill-grounds In the Carribean or the Gulf of Mexico The chief difference Is that the coal which the fleet has burned in this voyage of circumnavigation has been sent out a long distance from the United States, partly In naval but GREATEST You can pay five dollars for a hat and be no better satisfied than with a Hawes for three.

DRY FARMING SUCCESS. Model Farm on Wyoming Desert Is Tlirivlng. Dry farmers whose faith Is wavering In the system on account of the re cent dryness of the winter, should take a short trip to the model farm, as It Is called, where Dr. Cooke last full planted a quantity of winter wheat and rye, says the Cheyenne Tribune. These two grains are show ing astonishing progress and are cov ering the prairie, which Is- elsewhere brown and dusty was a beautiful car pet of green. Yesterday Dr. Cooke and Governor Brooks made a visit to the farm and at the suggestion of the governor, '"" " me ury ruiiuiiiK i niiniriw, Mjr. iuune will enn- tlnue his demonstrations at the Model farm this summer as well as look after dry farming affairs elsewhere In the state. At the Model farm which Is located a few miles Just east of the city. Dr. Cooke will this year grow potatoes, speltz, wheat, field peas, oats and bar ley. The land Is ho located that Irri gation is impossible and Is a valuable object lesson in the possibilities of dry farming In this vicinity. Dr. Cooke will also spend a good deal of thesprlng and summer in va rious parts of the state Interesting ranchmen and other holders of large acreages of land in the possibility of producing more valuable crops from the soil than buffalo grass, and will sfek to have such Innd owners make experiments for their own satisfac tion and as an object lesson to others near by. So It will be seen that the energetic doctor has a busy year ahead of him. MODERN A. O. Koeppen
