FOR LIGHTING
Is only expensive to people who are wasteful ami careless. To you
wlio arc naturally cnrefull, It docs not come lilgli.
It la economical because It can be quickly turned off when not needed.
With gas or kerosene there Is the 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 elec
tric light, but does It save you anything when It limits opportunities for
work and recreation 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 eceon
omy. It Is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts.

OREGON J
Market-Is In Good Shape in Spite of
Ijack ol Trading.
.. In spite of the absence of business
In the hop market, a steady feeling
prevails. Growers are not forcing hops
on the market, and when any purchase
Is reported, it Is at full values, says the
Oregonian.
English market conditions are re
ported by the Kentish Observer of
February 10 as follows:
With a slightly Increased demand
rather more business has been done on
the Borough market. Prices remain
exceedingly firm for all descriptions of
hops, and a slight advance Is notice
able In the values of good yearlings
and medium new English copper hops.
Continental prices for best hops are
more than firm, and the same must be
reported of the very best Pacific Coast
hops.
The latest circulars of the English
hop factors say, In part:
Wild, Neame & Co., London The
firmer tendency noted In our last con
tinues and a fair quantity of hops, for
the time of the year, have been sold
during the past week. Prices are firm.
Manger & Henley, London There
has been a little more inquiry for both
new and yearlings and a few parcels
have changed hands during the past
week. Prices are firm.
W. H. & H. Le May, London There
is more Inclination to do business. Sev
eral growths have been disposed of
during the past week. Stocks are small.
Some growers are expressing the op
inion that'the sodden state of the hop
gardens, especially In the Weald of
Kent, is injurious to the hop plant.
Worcester There is very little trade
on the Worcester market, offers of last
season's growth being so few. Some
sales of older hops have been where
holders would take market prices.
FOUND DEAD IN ROOM
O. G. SHURTLEFF DIES SUDDENLY
IN SAN DIEGO HOTEL.
HOGS SELL AT $11
Market
Reaches
Fifty
Highest
Years.
Point in
Hogs broke all former records In the
Portland market late last week, when
the remarkable price of $11 a hund
red pounds, live weight, was paid by
local packers for the best Eastern
Oregon porkers. This price was not
only the highest ever paid here in the
memory of packers, but leads the
whole United States for the last half
century at least.
For about one week Portland h
had the distinction of leading the
whole United States in being the high
est priced hog market. When hogs
went to $10.10 and $10.25 last week,
was thought the limit had been
reached, but the jump to $11 shows
the scant supply of high-class porkers
in this market and the strong demand.
Was Well Known in Polk County,
Having Resided for Many Years
at McCoy.
News of the death of O. G. Shurt
leff, a former well-known resident of
McCoy, Polk County, is told in a dis
patch from San Diego to yesterday's
Oregonian, which says:
"O. G. Shurtleff, 70 years old, was
found dead In a rooming house here
Sunday. From a card on his person It
Is learned that his home address is
320 Tenth street, Portland, Oregon.
"Shurtleff came here three weeks
ago and engaged rooms at the New
Carleton Hotel. He soon became well
acquainted with other boarders. Sun
day, when his absence was noted, en
trance to his room was effected and
his lifeless body was found in bed. An
inquest will be held.
"He was an old soldier, papers on
his person indicating that he is a
member of the G. A. H."
O. G. Shurtleff was a pioneer resi
dent of Oregon. For 20 years he had
lived in Portland and for some time
before that resided In Polk County.
His wife died four' years ago and
since that time Mr. Shurtleff had re
sided with Mr. and Mrs. Otto Branders,
320 Tenth Street. He was an uncle
of Mrs. Branders. Mr. Shurtleff retired
from business several years ago. Three
weeks ago he left for San Diego In
hope of recovering his health, which
had been falling rapidly.

Eastern Trains A'ia Shasta.
For the first time In the history of
railroading in the west, through
trains from San Francisco to the east
are passing over the Shasta route of
the Southern Pacific. This new route
is due to storms and floods and wash
outs on the Central Pacific east of
Sacramento which have served to ef
fectually blockade that route for the
time being and caused the traffic de
partment to divert the eastern trains
over the Shasta route to Portland,
thence via the Oregon Short Line to
Ogden. Trains west bound from Ogden
for San Francisco are being routed
over the Short Line via Portland and
Ashland.
Erb A Van Patten Get Contract.
The contract for the work of re
modeling the Willamette Hotel in Sa
lem has been let to Erb & Van Patten,
the well-known contractors who built
the Polk County courthouse. Contract
or Erb says the work will be hurried
through as rapidly as possible and that
the hostelry, when remodeled, will be
one of the finest in the northwest.
Anticipating a marked Increase In
business during the coming summer,
the Salem, Dallas & Falls City Rail
road Company Is adding to its already
excellent equipment. Louis Gerllnger,
Jr., general manager of the company,
Informs the Observer that an order
has been placed with the American
Car Foundry, of St. Louis, for ten ad
ditional flatcars, and that within the
next sixty days an order will be placed
for a new locomotive, weighing 65 or
70 tons, to be used in the freight ser
vice. Mr. Gerllnger says that the connect
ing track with the West Side line, now
being built at the Derry crossing, will
only be used for freight purposes, al
though It will hereafter be possible to
route the Portland passenger trains
into Dallas by way of Derry" in case
of an emergency, such as accident or
the closing of the Southern Pacific
track for repairs between Whiteson
and Dallas.
Immediately upon the completion of
this connection, it is the intention of
the company to run the Newberg
log train over the West Side line, thus
avoiding the heavy grade at Smith-
field hill and making it possible to add
two cars of logs to the present train
The handling of 600 additional cars of
logs In a year will enable the New
berg sawmill to greatly increase its
output and will add materially to the
revenue of the railroad company.
Southern Pacific trains, Nos. 1 and
2, now stop at Derry Crossing to take
on and let off passengers. A comfort
able passenger shed has been built
there for the accommodation of the
patrons of the two roads. This new
arrangement will be greatly appre
ciated by the traveling public.
A change In the passenger schedule
to give Falls City better service is
contemplated for the coming summer.
While the details have not been fully
arranged. It Is probable that Falls
City will be given an early train out In
the morning and a late train In at
night. It Is also possible that the pas
senger train may be tied up In Falls
City each night. Instead of being held
over in Dallas as at present
Can State of Oregon bo Garnished is
Question to Be Settled.
An Interesting question has been
submitted to the Attorney-General as
a result of a suit for the garnishment
of the salary of J. L. Green, a Deputy
Game Warden, to satisfy a claim of
$50 and interest held by one Carl
Ehelebe. . The papers In the garnish
ment were served upon the Secretary
of State last Wednesday, and Attorney-General
Crawford was requested
to take whatever steps are deemed
necessary on behalf of the state.
Section 14, article 4, of the consti
tution, provides that "provision may
be made by general law for bringing
suit against the state as to all liabili
ties originating after or existing at
the time of the adoption of this con
stitution; but no special act authoriz
ing such suit to be brought, or mak
ing compensation to any person claim
ing damages against the state, shall
ever be passed."
The Legislature of 1907 passed
law, which was vetoed by Governor
Chambeirlain, and passed over hie
veto at the 1909 session, providing that
salaries, wages and credits of the state
or of any subdivision or of any officer
or employe thereof, shall be subject to
garnishment the same as any private
individual or corporation.
Now It is up to the Attorney-General
to pass an opinion as to whether or not
the law of 1909 providing that the
state may be garnished Is In conflict
with section 14, article 4, of the con
stitutton.

Pioneer Nurseryman's Advice.
In conversation with Mr. Settle
meler, the veteran nurseryman of
Woodburn, on last Saturday he said
to the writer that orchards were be
ing planted In some parts of the valley
where It was virtually a case of throw
ing good money away, aa the land was
too flat and wet for trees. Regarding
the probability of over-production of
apples, he said there was no danger
of this, though he remarked that
doubtless prices would be lower in the
future. He expressed confidence In the
apple grower who produces a good
apple always getting a fair return for
the money expended In growing It.
Newberg Graphic.
Many People Fall Victims to Drug'
gist's Little Joke.
After it became noised abroad the
past few days after placing a card in
his window that Tom Bartholomew,
proprietor of a local pharmacy, would
give $15 for 1909 Lincoln pennies,
many of those who heard of the offer
sought Bartholomew to dispose bf
their coins, only to find out that they
had not quite the required number,
says the Medford Tribune.
The knowledge that the drug man
had suddenly become interested in
rare coins came as a surprise and
many people hearing that the offer
was spot cash, dug Into their purses
where they hod kept the Lincoln pen
nles as pocket pieces, and proceeded
to offer them on the altar of Mam
mon the $14.99 profit looked good
to them.
Staid citizens In automobiles dash
ed frantically up In front of the store,
school girls who saw a prospect of a
new bonnet, matrons who needed the
money on account of the rise in prices
and In fact almost everyone who-was
told of the apparently generous offer
fell a. victim to Tom's joke for Joke
It surely was, which was readily dis
covered as soon as one of the pen
nies was offered.
"Sure I'll give $15 for 1909 Lincoln
pennies," said Tom, when those who
wished to make a trade approached
him. "Where are the pennies?"
"I have only one penny," said one
of his customers.
"Well, you must get 1908 more.
to get the $15 you must have 1909 of
them."
"Stung," murmured the victim, and
there was quite a large number of
him, including several of the other
sex.

What Is declared by experts to be
Oregon's model dairy barn can now
be found on the State Insane Asylum
farm, five miles southeast of Salem
It said that a visit to this barn will
repay any farmer or dairyman who Is
Interested in up-to-date dairying mcth
ods. The current number of the Pa
cific Homestead prints a picture of the
big barn and gives an Interesting de
scription of its arrangement, as fol
lows:
"We publish in this issue of the
Homestead pictures of the exterior and
Interior of the dairy barn at the farm
of the Oregon Insane Asylum, at Sa
lem.
"Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner, superintend
ent of the asylum, has, ever since his
appointment to that position, been
making special efforts to surround
this institution with as nearly perfect
sanitary conditions as is possible with
the means at his disposal. In this
campaign for sanitation Dr. Stelner
had the enthusiastic support of the
entire medical staff at the asylum
consisting of Drs. Griffith, Tamlesle,
Robnett, and Evans.
"The asylum keeps its own dairy
from which the milk is obtained for
use by the patients. Dr. Steiner has
long been Impressed with the neces
sity of pure milk, which he knew could
not be obtained from cows which were
kept In an unsanitary barn.
"For months before the barn was
built, the doctor took the matter up
with everyone he met whom he
thought might know something about
dairy barns. We understand that the
Hon. A. G. Beals, of Tillamook, gave
him very material help. In addition to
all of this, Dr. Stelner took a trip East
where he inspected many of the up-
to-date barns.
Best Barn in Northwest.
"This Is, without doubt, the best
and most hyglenlcally-constructed barn
In the Northwest, if not in the entire
United States. It Is 184 feet long, 43
feet 8 Inches wide, outside, and 26
feet to the eaves; built on solid con
crete foundation extending two feet
above the floor. The floor Is of con
crete throughout, with manure gut
ters and mangers built In. A six-Inch
fall in the length of the barn facili
tates the washing of the gutters, man
gers, etc. The stalls (100 in number)
are of Iron Imbedded In the concrete
floor and provided with swinging stan
chlons, giving the greatest possible
comfort to the cows.
Twenty-four large windows on
either side, each containing over
twenty square feet of gloss, provide
abundance of light and, being arrang
ed to swing In at the top, let In plenty
of fresh air without draught, which,
with the King ventilating system, In
sure perfect ventilation. The cows fae
out with a six-foot feeding alley along
either wall, with an eleven-foot man
ure alley through the center the en
tire length of the barn. The entire
lower story Is ceiled with corrugated
iron, painted white, and can be wash
ed with the hose at any time, water
for the purpose being piped to all
parts of the building. A Hazelwood
milking machine has been Installed
with a capacity of milking eight cows
at one time, the power for same belli
furniBhed by .a two-horse electric mo
tor. The feed bins, motor and vacuum
pump for the milking machine, and
space for 260 tons of loose hay are
provided for on the upper floor.
An overhead litter-carrier system
Is installed as well as an overhead
milk-carrier from the barn to the
cooling room a distance of 600 feet.
where all milk will be taken at once
to be separated and cooled.
"The cows of this dairy are fre
quently tested for tuberculosis, as Is
also the milk for the presence of bac
teria. The bacteriological work Is done
by Dr. Bellinger, also a member ol
the medical staff.
This model dairy plant would be
ncomplete unless It were handled by
scientific dairyman. This has been
secured In the person of Mr. Nelson, a
graduate of the dairy department of
the Oregon Agricultural College."

BENEFITS APPARENT
Good Results of Spelling; Contests
Already In Evidence.
That the spelling contests Inaugur
ated among the rural schools of Folk
County by County Superintendent
Seymour last winter are already be
ginning to bring about the greatly de
sired results is plainly shown by the
marked Increase in averages made by
the pupils In February as compared
with those reached In the January
contest. All of the winning schools In
the February contest are well within
the 90s, and every one of the winners
of first place have made a perfect
score of 100 per cent The schools of
two rooms will have to hurry If they
succeed in making a better showing
than the one-room schools for the
year. The result of the February con
test among the rural schools is
follows:
Fourth Grade.
First place Zena, Kola, Parkers,
Popcorn, Etna, Concord, McCoy and
Highland tie with 100 per cent.
(second place Pioneer, 994 per
cent.
Third place Lincoln, Sunny Slope
and Mistletoe tie with 99 per cent.
Fifth Grade.
First place Parkers, Concord and
Mistletoe tie with 100 per cent
Second place Enterprise, 99 1-3
per cent
Third place Highland, 99 per cent.
Sixth Grade.
First place Eola, Parkers, Etna
and Highland tie with 100 per cent.
Second place Salt Creek, 98 per
cent.
Third place Spring Valley and
Popcorn tie with 96 per cent.
Seventh Grade.
First place Gooseneck, Enterprise,
Concord and Highland tie with 100 per
cent
Second placed Pioneer, 97 per cent.
Third place Grand Ronde, 92 per
cent.
Eighth Grade.
First place Kola, Parkers, Etna,
Sunny Slope, Highland and Mistletoe
tie with 100 per cent
Second place Oakhurst, 97 per
cent.
Third place Zena, 96 per cent.
"The showing of the schools for
February Is -highly gratifying," said
Superintendent Seymour yesterday. "In
the fourth, fifth and sixth grades,
many schools falling to reach first
second or third place made grades of
95 per cent, or better. Forty rural
schools wrote on the test this time, and
all grades were much better than be
fore. The teachers also report much
better work In spelling. It is hoped
that every school In the county will
take part In the next test."

Koutlu-rn Oregon Proxccator Will Not
Run Against Hawley.
B. F. Mulkey is not a candidate for
congress at this time. In case the next
census shows that Oregon is entitled
to a third congressman, Mr. Mulkey
hopes to be In the third district and
will then be an active aspirant for
congressional honors. Such were the
statements made by Mr. Mulkey at this
office this morning, says the Corvallis
Times.
Speaking of the assembly, this
Southern Oregonian says there Is ab
solutely no question about the lead-
ng republicans la every county In the
state being strongly In favor of the
assembly. With proper cars to Insure
the layman of a square deal In the se
lection of delegates It is certain that
these will Join the leaders In the as
sembly movement Up to the point of
an assembly adopting a policy, a plat
form on which to stand, not one can
question ths wisdom of the assembly
Ides, and If there Is a nquars deal In
the election of delegates, as Is now as
sured, few will find objection to an
assembly endorsing Individual candi
dates. The voters will have the power
snd the privilege of Toting for any
Independent candidate In preference
to those endorsed by the assembly.

As In the days when the notorious
gallon house flourished on the banks
of the Upper Yamhill and contributed
its share to the solution of the Indian
problem, booze still plays a leading
part In thinning the ranks of the
wards of the Government on the
Grand Ronde reservation. The results
formerly brought about by red whis
key of the fieriest and fightlngest sort
are now accomplished quite as thor
oughly and effectually by overindul
gence in the equally dangerous but
more Insipid "sour wine" produced In
the neighborhood of the reservation.
as the following tale of a recent trag
edy will abundantly prove:
Last Sunday morning, one Larney
Tom and one Jeffrey Wacheno, both
dusky sons of the forest, proceeded to
fill their copper-colored hides with sour
grape Juice, procured, it la said, at a
more or less notorious "Julcery" lo
cated near the edge of the reservation.
Ill feeling had existed between the two
men for some time, and after a few
drinks had been taken, warm words
were passed between them. After
quarreling for a time, Wacheno
mounted a horse and rode away.
The next that was seen of Wacheno,
so for as is known now, was when he
rode past the home of Frank Klekor,
who lives about two miles southeast
of the Butler store. Mr. Klekar was
sitting by a window about 1 o'clock
In the afternoon, when he saw the
Indian riding by. A moment later he
saw Larney Tom ride by. Tom over
took Wacheno about 200 yards
from the house, and, when within a
few feet of him, drew his revolver and
fired. Wacheno fell from his horse
and Tom then turned and rode back
toward Klekar's house. Klekar hast
ened to the aid of Wacheno, but upon
approaching the body a glance told
him that the Indian was beyond the
reach of human help. The bullet from
the murderer's revolver, a 88 -caliber,
had struck Wacheno in the spine,
killing him Instantly. Larney Tom
soon afterward mounted his horse and
left for his home on the reservation.
Mr. Klekar telephoned to Sheriff
Grant and Coroner Chapman, and the
two officers left at once for the scene
of the murder. Arriving late In the
afternoon, a jury was summoned from
among the immediate residents of the
neighborhood and an Inquest was held
at 10 o'clock at night The members
of the Coroner's Jury were James
Wooden, W. H. Brown, J. S. Petty-
John, Irvln Hussey, Louis Pettyjohn
and Lloyd Jones. Mr. Klekar, being the
only person who had seen the Bhoot
lng, was the principal witness. After
hearing his testimony and some other
evidence of less Importance, the Jury
returned a verdict to the effect that
Wacheno had met his death by being
murdered by Larney Tom.
Wacheno and Tom Were brothers-in
law and both were members of well
known Indian families on the reser
vation. The murdered man was about
25 years old, and unmarried.
Slayer is Captured.
With the coming of daylight yes
terday morning, Sheriff Grant left the
Klekar home and went over a moun
tain trail to Larney Tom's place on
the reservation. The roads on the
south half of the reservation are al
most impassable for teams at this sea
son of the year, so the Sheriff decided
to go after his man on foot When he
came In sight of Tom's house, he saw
the Indian going toward the home of
Frank Isaacs. As soon as the Indian
recognized the Sheriff, he said: "Well,
John, you have come after me. I will
go with you." The officer and his pris
oner then walked back over the trail
to the waiting buggy and arrived In
Dallas late yesterday afternoon.
According to Larney Tom's version
of the affair, the killing was the re
sult of a family row over a horse.
Tom's wife and Wacheno were brother
and sister. Some time ago, the hus
band and wife separated. On leaving
her husband, the wife took a horse
which she claimed belonged to her.
Tom Insisted that the animal belonged -to
him, and a short time later went
and got It and took It back home. The
brother-in-law then Interested him
self in the dispute and took the horse
away again. Tom soon recovered the
animal and kept It until Sunday
morning. It was this horse that Wa
cheno took when he rode away from
the wine house after the row. Tom
Immediately gave chase, and the kill
ing followed.
Larney Tom Is well known In Polk
County, having worked for many
farmers in the valley since his boy
hood. He is about 45 years old. He
does not have the appearance of a
quarrelsome Indian; In fact his rep
utation has always been that of s
good-natured, easy-going sort of fel
low. He offered no resistance whatever
when placed under arrest, and la con
ducting himself quietly In the Jail. He
was arraigned before Justice Hardy
Holman this morning and will be given
a preliminary hearing on Tuesday of
next week.
