DALLAS, ORtUO."M Groceries JONES CHAMPIONS BILL Secures Adoption of Minority Report On Measure to Reimburse Indian War Veterans. A dispatch from Salem in the Ore' gonian of this morning's issue says: "After a lively debate in the House yesterday afternoon, Representative Jones (Lincoln and Polk) secured the adoption of his minority report favor ing the passage of the bill appropri ating $100,000 for reimbursement of the Indian War Veterans for the use of their horsesduring the Indian wars of 1855-66. The bill was then sent to the House committee on ways and means, where, under the provisions of a resolution recently adopted by the lower house, all bills will rest until after January 30, when they will be taken up and considered on their merits. "Brandon and Hatteberg, the other two members of the committee on Indian affairs, had submitted a major ity report recommending that the bill be not passed, but they failed last week to secure the indefinite postpone' ment of the measure, which was made a special order for 2 p. m. today. In urging the adoption of the favorable report, Jones said that, should the surviving veterans be paid $2 a day for the time they served the state, they would receive only about $130 each. He maintained that the debt was a just one and should have been paid many years ago. Jones said the amount of the appropriation probably would not be required to satisfy all unpaid claims; he believed that not more than $75,000 would be required." J. L.

HALL $ HAYES FURNITURE STORE Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is tha temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than electric light, but does it save you anything when It limits op portunities for work and reoreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn t be economy. It is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.
