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.

. 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.

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. .

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.

Lane County Judge Is Not Candidate
for Supreme Bench.
Salem friends of Judge Lawrence
A. 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.

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

Adoption of a platform and recom
mendation of candidates for the var
ious state and district offices will con
sume the day's session. 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.

DALLAS,- Or., July 16 (To the
Editor.) 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
