FELL FROM STREET CAR Alex Collins, of Suuer, Lies in Pre carious Condition at St. Vincent's hospital. In advertising in our "Wanted" and "For Sale" column, which, by tho way, is becoming a very valuable feature of the Ohskkvkr, our customers often instruct us to run their locals until such time as they are ordered discontinued. In many instances the customer neglects to Inform us when ho desires tho advertising dis continued, and tho local are run for many Issues after they have served their purpose, thus causing tho adver tiser needless expense and detracting from tho effectiveness of this column to a certain extent. When the local has fulfilled its purpose, we would thank our customers to notify us by mail or telephone, so that we may dis continue the advertising. The ToHtoflice Department is always Kicking that tho low postage rate on newspapers Is responsible fur a large hharo of the annual deficit, and at the same time is doing everything in its power to establish tho Iniquitous parcels post, which would profit only the largo department stores and Cheap John mail order houses. It has been proved timo and again that tho low rate on newspapers Is not the cause of tho delioit, but it remains to be shown that tho wholesale carrying of freight by mail would not be tho biggest losing game over indulged in by tho Govern ment. Tho retail merchant can jiiHt chalk it down in his book that the adoption of tho parcels post would spell Kuin for him in capital letters. Tho Hillsboro Independent has raised its subscription price to $1.50 a year. A good newspaper, and well worth tho money. The passing of the $1 subscription rate has been hastened by tho Increased cost of white paper and tho sharp advance in wages. The publishers who are giving their readers newsy papers 11ml that no one objects to paying tho higher rate. The Ohskuvkk was ono of tho II ml to raise its subscription price after conditions had made it impossible to print a dollar paper at a piollt, and our subscription list shows that not a single subscriber was lost by the change. The reading public is fair minded and does not ask tho publish er to furnish his paper at less than tho cost of production. Alexander H. Collins, of Suver, a man well-known to tho older residents of the Willamette Valley, was severely injured by falling from a streetcar in Portland yesterday. The accident oecured on Williams Avenue, while Mr. Collins was riding out to visit E. H. Ginty. While standing on the lower step of the car, looking for the number of bis friend's store, he lost his bal ance and fell backward upon the pave ment, fracturing his skull and suffer ing a concussion of the brain. The injured man was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital, and bis son, Wil liam, in Dallas was notified of the accident. Mr. and Mrs. Collins left for Portland on the afternoon train, and meeting their mother, Mrs. Sarah Collins, at Whiteson, the three went to gether to the bedside of the sufferer. Friends and relatives in Dallas waited anxiously for some news of the accident, and late in the evening were relieved bv a message stating that Mr. Collins was somewhat improved and showed signs of regaining con sciousness. Hojies are entertained for his ultimate recovery, but nothing definite can be known at the present time. ' Judge J. L. Collins, a brother of the injured man, was in Portland when tho accident occurred, but heard nothing of it until he arrived in Dallas last night. As he boarded the train lo Portland, he purchased a paper, but being engaged in conver sation until it became too dark for him to read, he learned nothing of his brother's injury until ho opened the paper at his homo in Dallas.
