M .X ;RAVEN BROS., Dallas, Oregon LECTRICITY FOR LIGHTING 1 Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you who are naturally oarefull, It tloes not come high. It.is 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 needod 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 trie light, but does it save you anything when It limits opportunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes your walls mars dectorations 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 Vhat you save, but how you save that counts. ' WILLAMETTE VALLEY CO.

Seventy-Six Votes of County win Probably Be Divided Between Bow eriiian and Ackernian. . A dispatch from Salem printed in Friday's Oregonian says the 70 dele gates from Marion County will go to the state assembly unpledged and with no slate. The correspondent says: It if apparent that there is divis ion of feeling among the delegates as to the candidate for Governor. But the sentiment throughout is to name the man who will make the best Governor and the best run for the office on the Republican ticket. ".lav Bowerman. J. H. Ackerman, Dr. Andrew C. Smith and Dr. James Withycombeall have followers in the delegation. The Bowerman contingent asserts that it has the strongest force of delegates, while there are a large number, particularly in the country precincts, who favor. Ackerman. Dr. Smith will receive considerable sup port from, delegates In many parts of the county, particularly In the vicinity of Mount Angel and some of the Sa lem delegation favors him. Dr. Withy combe, who was in the city last night, claims some support in Marion County and says that he will receive strong backing on the West Side and a sprinkling from Eastern Oregon. Second Choice Indicated. "As it now appears, some of the Smith delegation are ready to go to Ackerman in case their man should not have bright chances, while some will follow the Bowerman contingent. It would naturally seem, say local pol iticians, that the Withycombe delega tion would be inclined to throw its force toward Ackerman if Its candi date drops out, but there are some of the Marion County Withycombe dele gates who will go with Bowerman and a few will go to Smith. This seems to line up the present status of the Mar Ion delegation as to favorites for the Governorship, but every one will en ter the assembly pledged only to do what he thinks best for the party. "Jay Bowerman Is amassing consid erable strength here because he was formerly a resident of Salem, was brought up here, educated in this city and resided here until March, T899. A large number ofl-iis former school mates and friends are actively engag ing In promoting his candidacy, not onlyn Salem, but in the county. J. H. Ackerman in his 12 years of service as Superintendent of Public Instruction has been a resident of Salem practi cally the entire time and has also de veloped a strong following, while both Dr. Smith and Dr. Withycombe are personally widely known here. Judgeship Creates Interest. "Locally the Circuit Judgeship is creating considerable Interest. There are three candidates in the field so far, Percy Kelley, of Albany; I. H. Van Winkle, of Salem, deputy to the Attorney-General, and Judge P. H. D'Arcy, of Salem. There will be two offices to fill. Each of these men has a good following in Marion County, although the two Salem men probably will re ceive the strongest indorsement fjrom Marion County In Portland. . "There is no opposition to' the re election of Willis C. Hawley as Iten resentative, or to Frank W. Benson as Secretary of State. "Attorney-General A. M. Crawford will no doubt receive considerable sup port here in his campaign for re-election, and J. N. Hart, of Baker Co mty, probably will receive several Marion County votes, as he was formerly a Polk County man and District Attor ney In this district ' ' "W. J. Clarke, a Marlon County man and resident of GerVais, candi date for State Printer, probably will I receive the support of this delegation, as he has numerous friends throiiKh i out the county. "Delegates are still at sea as to their I choice for State Treasurer. Some men j tion has been made of T. B. Kay, of this city, who was a delegate to the county assembly and is a State Sen ' ator. There are many who desire to ' see George A. Steel become a candi date for re-election and others are watching developments In other parts of the state, wishing to support a can didate from gome other section and ; are noncommittal. j "For State Superintendent of Public Instruction both Lewis R. Alderman, of Eugene, and D. W. Yoder, of Har ney, have supporters In this county. John H. IetrT9"probably will be solid ly favored as State Engineer Judge Harris Will Not Run. "One xtt the most interesting feat ure for Marlon County Is, the race for the-upreme Court Judge George H. Burnett, of Salem, Is a strong assem bly man and will no doubt receive the unanimous support of the delegation A member of the Observer force took a trip into the Buell neighbor hood and up Gooseneck Valley last week. Everywhere h was accorded the most courteous treatment and kindly hospitality, itfl of which was deeply appreciated. The people .in this prosperous neighborhood, are all busy taking care of the hay crop and .seem to have pressed into service everyone who can handle a fork. This valley is one of the best in Ore gon. Beautiful homes and well-managed farms line the road on either side, and the wild, mountainous scen ery reminds one of the boasted beauty of Switzerland. One would search a long time before finding a more beautiful or a more inviting locality than Buell and the Gooseneck Valley. J. A. Knox, who lives near Buell, has almost finished the work of har vesting his big hay crop. D. G. Mead or, who lives further beyond, has been in the valley about ten years. He thinks there is no place like Oregon. D. Glger has been prosperous and is pleased with the country, but would ike to move farther out into the mountains. Amos Koub has a fine outlook for a good yield of hops this year. The vines are making an exceedingly thrifty growth and the yard is in ex cellent condition. C. Emmett, the next neighbor above Mr. Koub, recently moved to the valley from Sheridan, and is busy clearing wild land. He has a splendid farm. Almost every locality in the Willam ette Valley can show a surprising hay crop this year, but it is doubtful if any can boast a better yield to the acre than is to be found on the farm of E. C. Hill, near the Buell postofftce. He has 60 acres which will give him about .125 tons of hay. He has been busy taking care of it during the past week and has been assisted by his neighbor, J. H. Sweeney, who recently bought and moved onto the old Dennis 0 born place. . DELEGATES ARE MANY RESPONSE TO ASSEMBLY CALL IS STATEWIDE. Muss Meetings Held In Nineteen Counties Saturday Candidates Rapidly Enter Field. OUR MARKET LETTER Receipts and Sales at Portland Union Stock Yards. PORTLAND, Or., July 16 Receipts at this market for the week ending today are as follows: Cattle 736, calves 293, sheep 3211, hogs 1148, and horses and mules 141. There has been a surprising amount of strength In cattle values and the marked spread in price between poor Quality and good quality cattle is steadily growing better. One load of good cows sold for $5.10. Top quality steers brought $5.65, and thin and poor quality steers sold as low as $3.80, some of that quality having been taken by feeders. The sheep market has been poorly supplied and the demand has been strong. Good lambs sold for $6 and buyers have been eager for more. In sympathy with the big decline on the Eastern markets, hog prices here went off 5 cents per hundred, -but there were not enough to give buyers the opportunity to take off more than that amount. Good top quality hogs sold for $10.25 and $10.20. Representative sales have- been as follows: Steers, $5.40 to $5.65; cows, $4.60 to $5.10; sheep, $4; calves, $6.50 to $6.75; hogs, $10.15 to $10.25.

Harris, of Eugene, received word from him Friday that he had decided to retire from the race for the supreme bench. He did not state his reasons, saying he would give them upon mak ing a personal visit to Salem. Judge Harris is one of the most popular men on the bench and it was believed would have received almost the unanimous support of the Marion county delegation along with Judge George H. Burnett, Chief Justice F. A. Moore and Justice Thomas A. Mc Bride. Who the fourth man will be is now somewhat of a quandary. Salem Statesman.

Nearly 1000 acres of prune i been persistently talked of are J Statewide is the response to the call for the Republican state assembly which convenes next Thursday morn ing at the Armory, Tenth and Couch streets. Thirjty-one of the sfeountles already have selected delegates and sent in the lists to headquarters of the state central committee in Portland. Of the three missing counties, Colum bia, Lake and Curry, the first named has chosen part of its delegation, while Lake County Republicans are to meet early this week, so it is reported. Curry is yet to be heard from. Of the 1248 deegates entitled to at tend the assembly in behalf of the Re publican electors of the state there are indications that the actual attend ance will run past the 1100 mark. Let ters have been received at Republican headquarters from every section of the state giving assurance of full attend ance of delegates. . 19 Meehngs Held Saturday. ' Since early in June mass meetings have been held at intervals in the var ious counties for the purpose of se lecting delegates. The largest number of these meetings of any one day oc curred Saturday, the total being 19. Reports from the .meetings Indicate that they were largely attended and that marked enthusiasm was the rule. Republicans generally "are taking a determined stand on party upbuilding. The counties that chose delegates Sat urday are Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Douglas, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Jackson, Josephine, Klam ath, Linn, Malheur, Multnomah, Sher man, Tillamook, Wallowa, Washington and Yamhill. 1 Multnomah County has the largest delegation, the apportionment being based on the last Presidential election, one delegate being allowed for every 50 votes cast. Multnomah has a quota of 354. Marion is second with 76. Lane is third with 66. As in the Multnomah County assem bly proxies are not to be recognized so announcement has been made. But where delegates are unable to attend th.eir vote may be cast according to the leads of the majority of their delega tion. Many Delegates Qualify. Up to this time all but 39 of the 1248 delegates have qualified for cer tificates. Columbia will report today with 25 delegates, which will reduce the hiatus of a meagre 14. Herewith' is shown a table of th(( counties that have Indorsed the assembly to date and the number of delegates each has selected: Baker "Renton .24 Clackamas 65 Clatsop 29 Coos 37 Crook 18 Douglas Gilliam 1 Grant 15 Harney Hood River 1 Jackson '. 1 Josephine I" Klamath .V 18 Lane Lincoln I2 Linn 4 Malheur 16 Marion ?l Morrow .

MaDy names are being talked of already In connec tlon with the various Important places on the state ticket, but the full list or possibilities will hardly develop before the day of assembly. Every section of Oregon has its favored sons, whose merits will be urged for one place or another on the ticket and, as In the case of Multnomah County's assembly, the strongest men are due to win. Many Candidates Disrussod. Interest naturally centers to a large degree in the recommendation of a candidate for Governor. Several names are being talked of In this connection. Dr. Andrew C. Smith has a strong fol lowing of friends who are urging his name, this following being especially strong In Multnomah County, where he resides. Dr. Smith, however, has not yet indicated whether he will become a candidate. Jay Bowerman, of Condon, Is also an active candidate for the assembly I recommendation and others who have 11. mendatlon for State ' Printer. W. S. Duniway Is being urged as successor to himself. He "has not announced whether he will go before the assembly. Four Justices to Be Chosen. Four justices of the Supreme Court will be selected to succeed F. A. Moore. Thomas A. McBride, W. B. King and W. F. Slater, the two last named being Democrats. Judge Moore and McBride are being supported for re-election. Among other names that will be brought before the assembly are those of Circuit Judge G. H. Bur nett, of Salem, and Circuit Judge H. J. Bean, of Pendleton. Up to this time O. P. Hoff Is the only one considered as commissioner of labor statistics. A. K. Slokum, of Portland, and E. . C. Kirkpatrick of Dallas, aspire to succeed Oswald West, a Chamberlain appointee, as railroad commissioner at large. John H. Lewis, State Engineer, thus far has no op position to being recommended as his own successor. Two Water Commissioners are to be selected. F. K. Gettlns, of Marshfield, and W. H. Ragsdale, o? Morrow, are being talked of. W. C. Hawley, of Sa lem, will seek to succeed himself as Representative In Congress from the First District, while W. R. Ellis, of Pendleton, will have at least one com petitor, J. S. Dellinger, in the Second District. Mr. Dellinger is editor of The Astorian. Fourteen Circuit Judges will be rec ommended, but this will be effected independently by the counties con cerned, as .will the selection of Joint Senators and Representatives. In the First district sucaessors will be named to Judge Nolan and Calkins, In the Second district to Judges Hamilton and Coke, In the Third district to Judges Galloway and Burnett, In the Fourth to Cleland, Gatens and Kavan augh. In the Fifth to Judges Eakln and Campbell, in the Seventh to Judge Bradshaw, in the Ninth to Judge Davis, in the Eleventh to Judge But ler. The Tenth district will name a successor to District Attorney Ivanhoe of La Grande. ABUSE OF INITIATIVE WAS NEVER INTENDED TO SU PERSEDE LEGISLATURE.

As the proper use and un expected abuse of the Initiative and Referendum is a subject of much dis cussion at the present stage of politics, especially . in the State of Oregon, I deem it to be a matter of Interest to the public as to what was the under standing of the originators and pro moters of that measure when it was first placed before the voters In a po litical state platform. The People's Party of Oregon, In Its state convention in Salem some time prior to the June election of 1896, was the first political party that made the Initiative and referendum one of the planks of its platform. This system of lawmaking was new to all the mem bers of that convention, save one or two, so the nature and scope of the measure was fully discussed In the committee room as well as before Its adoption by the convention. I, being one of the members of the committee on resolutions, and having never given the measure special thought or Inves tigation, made careful note of the ar gument In Its favor. The fact is, there was not a dissenting voice against It, either in the committee ropm or in the convention. The main idea and the chief argu ment In behalf of this system of law making was that It would be a reme dial measure to help the people ob tain relief in the way of needed legis lation at such times as the Legisla ture refused or neglected to heed the necessitites and crying demands of the public. The thought that it would afford a few men an opportunity to es- tabltsh a side show to supersede the Oregon Legislature was never inti mated nor suspected by anyone, so far as I know. Being thoroughly versed, by mingling with leading Pop ulists and by reading the recognized authors of books and papers of that party, I am prepared to publicly as sert that no genuine Populist ever en tertained the thought of concentrating political power Into the hands of one man, or of superseding the Legislature with a little gang of men In one or two counties self styling themselves 'The People's Power League." 1 Was Emergency Measure. The tight to amend and make laws through legislative acts to be submit ted to the voters, If deemed expedient, for their approval or rejection was very specifically emphasized. The Idea of loading down the election ballots and poll books at every election with the vagaries of some political para- nolac was never thought of. I know we, as a body of men, were very Jeal ous of our political rights. I am sure that if the present use and abuse had dawned upon our mental vision, that would have been the last the voters of Oregon would have heard of the ini tiative and referendum. As It Is, that measure and fusion with the Demo crats killed the Populist party, and it will In the future work out the same end for whoever dares undertake It That famous convention was the last grand play the PopullBts made In Oregon. It started the ball rolling. It elected several members to the LegU lature, and here I'll "let the curtain drop." All who are conversant with the history of Oregon know what hap pened. To say the least, It Is a blur on the pages of our history, and the ''damned spot will not out." - The leaders of that convention, after scuttling the Populist ship, changed crews and by so doing have been re ceivlng honors at the hands of the party against which they hurled all their darts of venom. As an Illustra tion, It might be cited that one of the frienda and Influential backers of that, convention Is now occupying a Repub lican seat In the United States Senate As for myself, I always had doubts concerning the practicability of this law and Its application to a people who occupied so large an area of ter rltory, with so many diversified Inter ests, and especially In a state filled with so many "statesmen"and "polit leal reformers." It will require men with brains as large as Mount Hood to comprehend all the laws ground out In this state In the next ten years, if the same ratio at which measures are being submitted this year is maintain ed, i T.
