To you f who are naturally careful!,' it duos not come high. . ' I Is economical because It can be quickly turned off when not needed. I '1th gas or kerosene there Is the temptation to let light burn when not t tedod to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the c ectrlo light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You c .n probably get some kind of artificial light for less money than elec t ic light, but does it save you anything when It limits opportunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars i eoratlons and increases household work. You 'could probably save t. dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but It wouldn't be eceon t. y. It Is hot so much what you save, but how you save that counts. I WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.

'Work on the Panama Canal In Its magnitude would surprise any man who saw it for the first time," remark ed W. M. Hood, of Virginia, represen tative of a Cincinnati house. I spent two months there this year. and my first view of the big ditch al most took my breath away. The efforts of the French to dig the canal were plgmylik compared to what our peo ple are doing. This Is Illustrated In the difference In size of the cars and en gines used to haul away the dirt It would be possible almost to place one of th French engines In th cab of an American locomotive now In use. "We have 15,000 men at work, and the payroll Is S 1,500,000 a month, or 42 tons of money. No paper money Is used to psy the men, because of the fear that It might carry germs of dls- e. The dirt Is flying so fast thst It is marvelous. There are 180 engines and 1400 cars at work, and th time required to unload 40 cars Is less than 15 minutes. "The greet work, of course. Is In the Culebrs cut which will take longer to complete than any other part of the ditch. It requires digging down, through 85 feet of solid rock, to a base of 400 feet They ar using a ton of dynamite every day on this work alone.

Bnmett After nearly elgbt weeks, and In all that After clubbing Into unconsciousness Henry Starr, a farmhand, and kidnap- lng his son late Wednesday afternoon two convicts, Harry Brennan and John Wormsdorff, who escaped from the Oregon penitentiary last Saturday, are rapidly making their escape In a bug gy and are believed now to be near Suver, says yesterday's Oreitonlan. It lis thought that the escaped crimi nals hope to use their captive, who lives near Buena, as a shield to ward off bullets when they are overtaken and an attempt is made - to capture them. Though the two convicts escaped last week, the chase has not yet been taken up by the state officials looking toward the recapture of the men, though Warden Curtis declared late Wednesday night that he would form a posse early Thursday morning and start on their trail. Both Men "Trusties." The two men were "trusties" at the prison and were sent Into a hayfield, when they took the easy chance to es cape, and with pitchforks as weapons the duo are "beating It" for liberty. When last seen they were driving In Starr's buggy south of Buena Vista at a rapid rate, with young Starr held between them. Though details of the beating of Starr are meager here, it is said that his injuries may prove fatal. It ap pears that Starr and his young son were driving Into Buena Vista from a farm, a few miles out of town, where Starr Is employed. - Man Refuses Rig to Convicts. He was accosted by two men, who told him they wanted the horse and buggy, that they had no money, and didn't Intend to buy the outfit, any how, but that they needed It at once. Fearful of losing time, which was precious, and seeing that parleying with the farmhand was heedless, the convicts made a rush at Starr with their pitchforks and beat him into In sensibility. It is said Starr suffered injury to the head, although it is not known if the skull , was fractured. When Starr was laid out the two men jumped Into the buggy after grabbing young Starr and made a desperate drive toward the South, leaving Starr lying as If dead In the road. Both Men Trusties. Brennan, who Is the most daring criminal of the two, was serving two years from Umatilla County for lar- ceney, and had but three months more to serve. Wormsdorff was serving one and one-half years from Multnomah County, and had nine months more j to serve. , . . The deed of the convicts Is one of the most daring in the history of the penal Institution of the state and re calls the escapade of the famous des perado, Harry Tracey, who kept the Washington state authorities guessing for so long a time In 1905. Search on th quiet had been made by the prison authorities about Salem and In the Immediate vicinity of the prison where the convicts escaped, but no trace of the convicts' had been se cured. Now that the officials are aware which way the men are traveling and their style of travel they will be pur sued. It Is believed they are headed for Albany. Farmers May Form Posse. From Buena Vista It Was learned that several farmers had declared themseles anxious to aid In the pur suit of the fugitives, and to this end would organize a posse of their own, whether the state officials formed such or not Polk Coounty Schools Average 91.9 Per Cent for Month of June.
