MUNICIPAL PLANT PAYS.
Price of Klivtrlc Lighting In Heat tic
Jti-dtioed Onc-IIulf.
Mayor C. Herbert Moore has an
nounced that he Intends to investigate,
by means of results obtained in other
cities, the practicability of -starting a
municipal electric plant In Spokane,
nays the Spokane Chronicle.
"You can state," said Mr. Moore,
"that I consider this an Important
question, and Khali collect data on the
subject with a view to satisfying my
self that the investment would' be a
good one for the city, which I believe
It would from the money-saving point
of view of citizens."
In Seattle, It Is asserted, people for
several years paid 12fA and 14 cents
per kilowatt-hour for electricity. This
Is the price now paid In Spokane.
City Engineer Thomson of Seattle was
Instrumental In starting a municipal
electric plunt, and when It went Into
operation, It Is stated, the private com
panies cut down to 8 cents per kllo-vatt-hour.
The plant Is now reported to be pay
ing operating charges and Interest on
Investment, with a small profit to the
city, and the price of electricity Is said
to be 60 per cent of what It was pre
vious to the establishment of the city's
plant. In addition to this, citizens are
saved thousands of dollars per year In
light bills.

RAILROAD GRANT SUIT
NOT TO HE PRESSED
(Portland Journal.)
Morris Calvin of Paulina, Crook
county, Oregon's most unsophisticated
man, bought a comic valentine. It
erst him a nlrkle. Then he did a lit
tie drawing. A postage stamp was
attached. The valentine was ad
dressed to a young woman. It was
dropped In the mall, it was delivered.
She objected. This morning that val
entine cost Calvin $300.
Calvin was Indicted by the federal
grand Jury for sending obscene mat
ter through the mall. Owing to the
circumstances of the case and upon
the recommendation of the district at
torney, Judge Wolverton let Calvin off
without a Jail sentence when he
pleaded guilty In the United States
court this morning.
Until brought to Portland by a dep
uty United States marshal Morris had
never seen a steamboat, had never
even seen and didn't know there was
Ruch a thing as street cars.
Ills LIH Never Smacked.
And furthermore,. Morris Calvin,
Crook county, Oregon, has never been
kissed. Owing to this fact he has be
come known as Oregon's unsophisti
cated man.
Until last night Morris had never
seen the Inside of n fP, had never
eaten In a restaurant, had never heard
the rumbling of a wagon on paved
streets, had never seen an automobile
nor did he know thero was such a
thing as a bicycle.
Ho had hoard of city skyscrapers,
to be sure, but he thought they were
something that floated about high In
the air.
Morris has never been Inside of a
theater, never slfooked a pipe, cigar
or cigarette, never chewed tobacco,
and has never had a drink of liquor
In his life.
And the thousands ond one other
forms of amusement which are afford
ed the people of a city ore all new to
Morris.
But In spite of all the fascinations
of n great city, Morris slept In a cell
at the county Jail last night. And his
dreams weren't of music and dances
and beautifully gowned women and
the buzz of automobiles. But Instead
his fancies were far away in his old
home country In Crook county, and
the dreams were of green valleys and
mountains ond cattle and horses and
of the people he has known all his lifo
and who ore natural and more to his
liking.
Morris Is 22 years old. He lives
with his father and mother and has
npver heen In trouble before. All his'
life has been spent on the range and
he had no anticipations, no longings
for the city. He knew not of the city,
nor did he care, and he was happy.
But last St. Valentine's day Morris
got hold of a funny valentine. And
poor Morris fell from grace.
District Attorney McCourt stated to
the court this morning that with the
exception of the valentine Incident, the
defendant had always been on his best
behavior. Since he was a boy, he said,
Morris has worked hard and taken
core of his family. During that time
he has accumulated nearly $2,000 in
Rumored in Portland That Dig Case
Will Not Ho Siartel Until After
November.
There will be no active prosecution
of the railroad land grant case, at
least until after the presidential elec
tion In November, according to a sus
picion that has been growing of late,
says the Portland Telegram. Tracy
C. Becker, however, who was original
ly sent to Portland from Buffalo to
handle the railroad case for the gov
ernment after D. B. Townsend had
worked up the evidence, declares with
emphasis that the railroad land grant
case will be tried. Mr. Becker does
not say when they will be tried, but
asserts that action will begin when
Townsend arrives here from the east.
Although there was considerable ag
itation over the railroad lands in con
gress lust winter, nothing has since
been done. The vast doma4n of tim
ber land affected by the threatened
but delayed legal procedlngs belong
to the Horrlman system, both In Ore
gon and Laiirornia, Dut principally
In Oregon. Harriman has In the past
been especially active In politics, as
well as the railroad world, and has
contributed heartily to the republi
can campaign funds In other presi
dential elections. Harriman and
Roosevelt are now on terms of friend
ship, but this, according to politicians
does not necessarily extend to Harri
man and Taft.
Harrlman's friendship In a presi
dential year is more desirable than
his enmity, and especially since It Is
generally acknowledged that Taft has
a hard fight and requires all the sup
port he can gather to his standard.
For this reason, the suspicion has
been aroused that there is no real
design to harass Harrlman's land
grant, particularly before the presi
dential election, although after No
vember something may be done.
Mr. Townsend, who worked sever
ul months in Oregon last year collect
ing data on which to base the suit
against the corporation to recover the
land, has been expected for some
time. Becker, who was hired to pros
ecute after Townsend secured the ma
terial, has no Intention of dabbling In
the railroad land grant case until
Townsend conies. Becker, If he car
ries out his announced plan of contin
uing the land fraud cases, will be oc
cupied all summer or later with these
alone, ond will have no spare time
to apply to Harrlman's Jand grant.
Townsend, according to Becker, Is due
any minute, but no one at the federal i
building appears to know his where
abouts. .
Head of Veterinary Deportment
Pullman Tells of Conditions.
Dr. S. B. Nelson, head of the de
partment of veterinary science at the
Washington state college, was In the
city yesterday on his way to Pullman,
after a visit through the country
about Rltzvllle, says the Spokane
Chronicle.
"Rltzvllle Is going to hold Its an
nual horae show next Saturday ond
the people there have some of the
finest specimens in that country I
have seen for some time. There are
getting to be more and more of these
horse shows about the country, and
they are doing a great deal of good.
They are what the Washington Live
stock Association has been advocating
for some time for they are a strong
feature In assisting to develop the
stock industry of the country."
In speaking of the veterinary course
at the Washington State college, Dr.
Nelson sand:
"Never before have we had so
many applicants for this course and
the classes are growing larger and
larger every year. Any student who
graduates from this course and has at
tended to business, can get a $1400
Job or better."

WYOMING'S WOOL CLIP.
Fro-
Over 3.-i.00(l,O()0 Pounds Will lie
duml Thl Year.
Estimates now being made as to the
size of the Wyoming wool clip indi
cate that this year Wyoming will not
only exceed all previous records, but
it is expected will pass Montana,
which last year was nip and tuck with
this state In Its total wool production,
says Ranch nnd Range. La.-t year
Wyoming with a production of 33.-
000,000, took the lead for wool In the
grease, but Montana's figures on
scoured wool exceeded those of this
state.
This year the clip Is expected to be
at least 35,000,000 pounds, and it Is
confidently expected that this amount
when scoured will also .exceed the
scoured product of Montana, Its near
est competitor.
The average weight of a fleece last
year was 7.2 pounds, while this year
in addition to the wool being of long
er staple and finer quality, tile weight
will probably average close to elgh.
pounds. The gain t the sheepmen
of the state througli this Increase 1
weight will be readily seen.
St-hcinc to Keep Gilliam Wei.
Condon, Ore., June 25. Reports
came into Condon last evening that
the vote of Rock Creek precinct was
to be contested as Illegal. The reason
stated Is that the election board al
lowed the voters to vote at tables or
elsewhere and not In booths, as pre
scribed. It is also reported that the
main idea Is that should Rock Creek
vote be cast out It would make Gilliam
county wet. The throwing out of the
votes would not affect the newly
elected officers.
