Yours for business, Campbell's Store Successor to CAMPBELL HOLLISTER DALLAS, - - - OREGON ELECTRICITY FOR LIGHTING Is only expensive to ix'ople who are wasteful am cureless. To you who are naturally cnrcfull. It does not come high. It is economical because It can be quickly turned oft when not needed. With bus 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 otny. It Is not so much what you save, but how you save that counts. WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.

As both Newtown and Spltzenberg apples can be successfully grown In Polk County, the following relative ratings of the two varieties, prepared by Secretary Williamson of the State Horticultural Soolety, will prove In teresting and Instructive to local or chardlsts. Mr. 'Williamson says: "In reply to a query as to the rela tive rating of the Newtown and Splt zenberg apples, will say that the Amer ican Pomological society uses the Splt zenberg apple as the standard of ex cellence, so far as quality Is concerned, and rates it 10. The rating for quality given the Yellow Newtown Is 9.1 This rating was given before Oregon Yellow Newtowns were known out side of the state. This rating applies solely to the quality of the flesh. "It is a strong assertion to state that any one variety of apples ranks all others, if we take into considera tion, in addition to the quality of flesh, color, form and keeping quality of the fruit, and health, vigor and bearing habits of trees, and the diverse tastes of different consumers and groups of consumers. "There is a marked difference of opinion among good judges as to the comparative merits of the Spitzenberg and Yellow Newtown in the matter of quality of flesh. Downing, one of the best authorities on fruits who has ever lived in this country, placed them on a par, to wit: The Esopus Spitzenberg is a handsome, truly delicious apple, and is generally considered by all good judges equal to the Newtown Pippin, and unsurpassed as a dessert fruit by any other variety.' "The most valuable recent publica tion on apples is 'The Apples of New York.' In this work the quality of the flesh of the Newtown is rated 'Best'; that of the Spitzenberg 'very good to best.' "In the United States, the Spitzen bergs of the fanciest grade sell for higher prices than Newtowns of the corresponding grade. In England the Newtown is preferred to all other ap ples sent from this country, and the Spitzenberg is not especially popular, selling there at about the same prices as Baldwin, Northern Spy and King apples of equal condition." WILL COST $20,000 Portland Architect Prepares Plans for Independence High School. Plans have been prepared by E. C. McClaren, architect, for a fine rein forced concrete high school building to be built at once at Independence, Oregon. The architectural award was made In competition, several Portland and other architects having submit ted drawings for the proposed high school building. The building will be 87x67 feet and will consist of two stories and a base ment. It will be built of reinforced concrete and will be further proofed against fire by asbestos shingles. The cost will be 20,000. Work will begin immediately and the building finished by October for the opening of the Fall term of school. In the full concrete basement will be located the lavatories, the manual training rooms, domestic science rooms, girls' and boys' lounging rooms, laboratories for chemistry, physics, etc. and the heating plant. On the first floor will be class rooms and the principal's office. This office will be equipped with a large open fire-place.

Inspect Plants at Dallas, Falls City and Black Rock; Banqueted In Salem. The Oregon and Washington lum bermen came, saw and conquered. A jolly bunch of practical, hard-working business men, out for a half holiday, these sawmill owners threw dull care to the winds and made the most of their brief vacation. For the residents of Polk County they had the glad hand and a cheerful word, and our people, in turn, overlooked no oppor tunity to add to the pleasure of their visit. The Oregon and Washington lum bermen came into Polk County, Sat urday afternoon, as the guests of the Willamette Valley Lumber Company, the Falls City Lumber Company, and the Spaulding Logging Company. Ar riving in Salem from Portland in the forenoon, a brief business session was held In the Board of Trade rooms in the Capitol City. The meeting ad journed at noon, and the lumbermen were then taken across the Willamette River bridge to West Salem In auto mobiles, which had kindly been placed at their disposal by the enter tainment committee. Here they boarded the palatial motor car of the Salem, Dallas and Falls City railroad and a quick run was made to Dallas, where an elaborate lunch had been prepared at the Hotel Gall. An hour was spent in Dallas In greeting friends and visiting the great plant of the Willamette Valley Lum ber Company. The party then board ed the car and was soon In Falls City, where an Impromptu, but high ly pleasant and hospitable reception, was tendered them by local business men. Forty minutes were spent In looking over the live lumber town and In visiting the plant of the Falls City Lumber Company, where every cour tesy was shown the visitors by G. A. Griswold and F. S. Belcher, members of the company owning the plant and who had accompanied the excursion from Portland. Many expressions of sympathy were heard for Manager W. T. Grier, who had left Falls City early in the morning to drive to Salem to meet the excursionists and had met with a runaway accident In which he sustained a broken ankle. Mr. Grier is a popular member of the Oregon and Washoington Manufacturers' Asso ciation, and his absence, under such painful and distressing circumstances, from the reception given his brother lumbermen In his home town was a cause of deep regret to all. Only twenty minutes were spent at Black Rock, but In this brief period of time the excursionists managed to see much of the extensive logging and milling operations in progress at that place. Late in the afternoon, the return run was made to Salem, where a luncheon was served In the Board of Trade rooms. C. N. McArthur, Speaker of the last House of Repre sentatives, and now private secretary to Governor Benson, presided as toast master. Happy and entertaining talks were given by Chief Justice Moore of the Supreme Court, Judge R. S. Bean of the Federal Court, and a number of the visiting lumbermen. The excursionists united In declar ing that their trip Into Polk County, Saturday afternoon, was one of the most pleasant events In the history of their association. The work of de velopment In the sawmill and timber industry along the line of the new railroad was a revelation to most of them, as was also the superb service afforded by the railroad company Its self. The lumbermen also expressed deep appreciation of the courtesies shown them by the entertainment committee, which consisted of George T. Gerlinger, secretary and manager of the Willamette Valley Lumber Company; Graham A. Griswold, sales manager of the Falls City Lumber Company, and J. P. Keating, sales manager of the Spaulding Logging Company. The members of the ex cursion party were: A. M. Hagan Booth Kelley Lumber Company. A. B. Wastell- -Whitney Company, Limited. F. C.

MANY FIRMS FAIL Surprising Facta About the Patent . Medicine Business. "The Fourth Estate" has been warn ing publishers about the risk in allow ing credit to new medicine concerns. It is said that there have been only one or two of the thousands of new proprietary medicine houses that have have made any considerable money that have started the past twenty years and only a very few more that have met with even moderate success. It Is the general Impression that the business Is Immensely profitable while the facts are that there Is a larger percentage of failures than In any other line. The new concerns usually start with lots of confidence In the merit of their goods and advertising but soon exhaust their capital leaving dealers who have bought their medi cines with unsalable goods on their shelves. It Is the experience of many publishers that have accepted this new business that they have been compell ed to charge off their bills to profit and loss. There are many old and reliable medicine houses that continue to do a good or increasing business from year to year but the new ones are finding It more and more difficult to become es tablished. Des Moines Capital. BRINGS GOOD PRICE BUYER BIDS 32 & CENTS FOR POLK COUNTY MOHAIR. Pool of 60,000 Pounds Sold to William Brown & Company, of Salem Growers Are Delivering. William Brown & Company, of Sa lem, were again tho lucky bidders at the annual auction sale of the Polk County mohair pool, held In Dallas last Saturday afternoon.

Rempel, of Perrydale In the afternoon this committee met and received bids for the pool. Four . bids were submitted, the bidders being A. J. Ray and Theo. Bernheim, of Portland; D. L.. Keyt, of Perrydale, and William Brown & Company, of Salem. The bids ranged from SO to 30 ft cents. All bids were rejected. Mr. Brown then made! the selling committee an offer of 8114 cents. This bid was likewise rejected, and the pool was placed In the hands of Sec retary H. L. Fenton for sale, Mr. Fen ton having given his assurance that a better price could be obtained. See ing that he would have to bid higher or lose the pool, Mr. Brown then made an offer of 32 ft cents. This bid was satisfactory to a great majority of the farmers, and the sale was closed at that figure. Thirty Tons of Mohair. The number of pounds of mohair In the 1910 pool will not be known un til all growers have made delivery, but Secretary Fenton believes that It will be in the neighborhood of 60, 000.
