NEW LIGHT CONTRACT.
As there has been considerable in
quiry as to the terms of the new
electric light ordinance, we print its
chief provisions, in brief, as follows:
The ordinance became effective
January 1, 1907, and is to run for a
period of three years. It provides
that 22 alternating-current arc lamps,
of 1200 candle-power each, are to be
furnished for street lighting, and the
necessary number of incandescent
lamps to light the City Hall and the
two bridges across the LaCreole river
The city will pay $6 per month each,
or a total of 1132, for the street lights,
and the hall and bridge lights will be
furnished Iree of charge. The total
candle-power of the street lights is
26,400.
Under the old contract, the company
furnished 16 arc lamps of 2000-candle- i jstjers
Dowereach for $7.75 per lamp. lhe
With the opening of the Legislature
only three days off, It looks like Davey
for Speaker and Haines for President,
although Beach of Multnomah is
looming up strong as a possible
candidate in the contest for the last
named office. The false rumors cir
culated against Mr. Davey have
served to strengthen rather than to
weaken him, and his election to the
Speakership by a neat majority seems
assured.
If any Statement No. 1 legislator
desires to bury himself so deep
politically that he will never be heard
of again, just let him break his pledge
and vote against Jonathan Bourne
for United States Senator. Bourne is
in no danger of defeat, but the little
handful of Senators and Represent
atives who are threatening to knife
him, after having pledged themselves
to support the "people's choice, are
treading on mighty dangerous
ground.
The Postoffice Department has been
trying to prove that the low rate of
Dostaee eranted to newspapers anu
periodicals is responsible for the
heavy deficit each year. But the de
Dartment's argument got a hard jolt
tho other dav when the American
Weekly Publishers' Association pro
duced figures to show that the de
partment is paying to the railways
for carrying the mails $32,000,000 a
year more than the express companies
vvnn I A rhnrcre for hauling the same
amount of tonnage. There is a big
craft in the rostal business, but it
rs .

city paid $5 per month for tne nan
lights and $1.60 per month for the
bridge lights, making a total of
$130.60 per month, or $1.50 less than
is now paid. The total candle-power
of the street lights was 32,000.
The distribution of street lights
under the new contract is, in many
respects, superior to the arrangement
under the old system, for the reason
that a much greater area of the resi
dence district is now provided with
lights. True, the new lights are not
nearly so strong as the old, but the
loss In candle-power is in a great
measure compensated for by tho wider
distribution of the lamp3,
The Observer believes it wua a mis
take to remove the depot light from
the tall pole and place it on shorter
poles at the Washington street cross
ing. This lamp not only lighted the
railroad yards and gave the city a
metronolitan aDDearanco. but it
lighted the whole residence district of
the south part of town as well. The
people living on Clay street were also
overlooked when the lights at the
Main and Levens street crossings
were removed. A distance of four
blocks on this street is now almost in
total darkness.
But the arrangement of street lights
is a problem that will never be satis
factorily solved by this or any other
council, and there is no use in trying
to please everybody. The citizen who
loses hia light kicks, and the man who
gets it rejoices and that's all there is
to it. All that the council can do Is to
seek the greatest good for the g reatest
number, and when they are actuated
bv this motive, there can be no
reasonable objection urged in any
quarter.
Although our department of neigh
borhood correspondence was estab
lished Iobs than a month ago, the
Observer now has tho largest list of
correspondents any Polk county paper
has ever had. Only two or three pre
cincts in the county remain unrepre
sented, and we expect to secure weekly
letters from these neighborhoods with
in the next week or two. Just glance
over this list and see how thoroughly
the field is covered: Falls City,
Bridgeport, Lewisville, Buena Vista,
Independence, Rickreall, Eola, Zena,
Spring Valley, McCoy, Oak Grove,
Perrydale and Butler. We want good
live correspondents from Airlie, Mon
mouth, Ballston, Buell, and a few
other prominent neighborhoods not
vet reDresented. and will spare no
effort to secure them. We have started
in to make the Observer one of the
throughly representative county
papers of Oregon, and, with the loyal
aid we are already receiving from our
friends throughout the county from
the friends who are volunteering to
send the news of their respective
neighborhoods, and are thus making
our paper their paper we shall not
fail to reach the goal of our cherished
ambition.
The Sheridan Sun has been greatly
improved under the management of
B. F. Youncr and is now a neat and
newsy paper.
This will be an interesting week for
the Angora goat breeders of the
Willamette valley. The annual goat
show takes place at Dallas, Polk
county, the 9th, 10th and 11th and a
large display of the handsome little
mohair-producers is expected. The
Polk County Mohair Association is
composed of farmers and livestock
breeders who are among tne most
energetic and reliable citizens of the
state, and they are doing a grand
work in the upbuilding of the goat
industry in the Pacific Northwest.
Each year sees greater improvements
in the quality of the goats throughout
this section ; in fact, that point has
been reached where it seems an im
possibility to go any higher in this
respect. Salem Statesman.
