Farmer Install Electric System Weston, Or., Nov., 17. u vv. s w v ll Steen a farmer residing on Day creek,' four miles from Weston lias j installed an electric lighting system j -i :'. cousistiug of a tour horsepower gascliuo engine and a small dynamo. With this his residence, cellar and bam are brilliantly lighted nt u cost of only j a month. Mr. Steeti i the first I'matilhi county former to make this improvemont and others who have looked over his plant iu tend to follow his example. The internal resources of the west are called to notioe by the exper ience of the government iu connec tion with tho building of the irriga tion dam on Salt River, for the Tonto Basin reclamation project. It was found that 220,000 barrels of cement would be required for the immense dam. As the dam ia loca ted 62 miles from a railroad, the question of cement was a serious one, but it was discovered that it was possible to make excclleut cement at the dam site site, and a mill was established at that poiut, which is now in operation. By adopting this plan over $2,000,000 was saved in the cost of the iinprov ment. So eUewliere throughout the west there are immense oppor tunities which only await the crea tion of a demand suflicieut to justify capital in making the devel opments required to make the raw material available. The import ance of this self sufficiency of the west is twofold first, in the saving of high freight charges, aud second in the creation of a home industry. mm m Church Safe Robbed. Salem, Ore., Nov. 19. The mys terious dissapearance of a gold watch belonging to a convict at the Oregon penitentiary aud the find ing of a diamond ring, uIho the property of a convict, 'u the vest pocket of Roscoe James, son of Prison Superintendent C. W. James, will form the foundation of a demand for another investigation of that institution by the Marion county grand jury. Both articles were taken from their owners at the time of imprison ment and were placed iu the Super intendent's safe for keeping until the prisoners should be discharged. The ring, by a strange circumstance was discovered by its owner. Ihe watch has not been found aud Sup erintendent James has paid the owner its value out of his own pocket. The ling wax taken from Charles Walton, the Portland street-car robber, when he was brought to the penitentiary. Like all other valu ables taken lrora prisoners, it was placed in an envelope, sealed, and with Waltou's name written thereon placed in the safe. About six weeks ago Iioscoe James sent a suit of clothes to the prieou tailor shop to be pressed and ANaltou happened to be the prisoner who received this suit to work upon. I'lNLiS III8 OWN RING. Feeling something in tho pocket, Walton took it out and found it to be his own ring. Complaint was made to the officers and the ring was restored to the safe. The ex planation made by young James was that he found the ring on the floor of the office and put it in his pocket, intending to give it to his father, but forgot it Superintendent James says he had the box of valuables out ou the table the day the ring was allegtd to have been picked up aud on ex amination he finds a hole was worn in the corner of the envelope, so he concluded that the ring slipped out ot the envelope and rolled upon the uoor wivnoui ueing noucea. ! 1 1 1 1 1 The explanation of the ring incident was satisfactory to him, and the matter was dropptd.
