Cost of Light Plant.
At the council meeting last night a
letter from Shipley & Co., of San

man Strain. In the same was con
tained a preliminary estimate of the
cost of installing a municipal light

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

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. FOR HERMISTON INSTITUTE.

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

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

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

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.
