Salem Beginning Juno 1, tho state of Oregon will buy electricity for all stato Institutions by meter Instead of on a flat rate as at present, which, It is believed will mean a saving to the stato of from $3,000 to $5,000. As an experiment about a year ago meters wero Installed and aa a result tho chango will bo made at once. During 11 months, beginning June 1, 1909, and ending April 30, 1910, the stato paid tho Portland Hallway, Light & Power company $12,048.31 at a flat rate for lights which would have been at meter rates $9,838.05, or a saving of $2,210.20. No effort was made to conserve tho power for lights under the flat rate, white every super intendent of the state Institutions un der the meter system will be Instructed not to burn lights not absolutely need ed, so Governor Benson and tho new chief clerk, H. H. Corey, believe the saving will reach nearly $5,000 a year. The state also pays $123 per month, flat for power otherwise than that util ized for lights, or during the 11 months mentioned a total of $1,353. Under the meter rates the bill for power would have been, for tho aamo period, $429. Build Road to Marshfleld.

Chimes of the historic Church Del Car mon, tho belfry of which withstood tho earthquake shock of Wednesday, tolled a requiem nt sunset tonight for Car tago s dead. While the bolls pcalud out the tid ings of sorrow, 6,000 Itomelcss men, women and children, their uncovered heads bowed with grief, stood In silent prayer upon the hill Uita overlooking the rulnsof the ancient city. Hour by hour tho magnitude of tho disaster be comes mora apparent. Eighteen hundred are dead." Almost aa many aro wounded, many of whom will die. Ten thousand are humolras, hundreds are starving. Scores have been drivon Insano. For tho brave survivors, who for three dsya havo witnessed almost un speakable horrors, perils of famine and pestilence remain to be faced. Pioneers of Costa Rica aro facing them with undaunted hearts. Huddled In camp of refuge, biv ouacked under the shadow of tho vol cano Poaz, the city's wealthy uxl poor alike arose today from a third night of terror, ready to plan for the task of reconstructing a new and grander city over the smoking rem nant of what Is Cartago, a waste of ashes and tumbled masonry. Hundreds of victims wero laid to rest today. Long trenches were dug and whole families burled togother. Many of tho dead were unidentified. From tho ruins aenrra of bodies are being removed hourly. Some Americana aro reported killed, but Indentlflcatlon, even by tho records, Is now impossible.

Byr ncs, ex-supcrlntcndent of police of tho city of Now York, but more famous for his work In tho detective bureau. died at his homo hero tonight from chronic Indigestion, after an illness of more than two years. Ho was 00 years old. Byrnes waa born In Ire land, but camo to this country whon very young. He Joined tho police forco early and rose rapidly; at 28 ho waa captain. During his term tho air- gregatoof sentences imposed on prison ers taken by him reached 10,000 years. Iiondon, May 7, 6 A.

Death struck down the mightiest hereditary ruler of the world with u little compunction as If his victim ImJ been tho meanest of that king's sul Joels. Tho prayers of tho whole n. tlou, bound to its monarch by cen turies of tradition nnd by n love horn of complete nnd Intlmnto knowlwl, of that ruler's foibles, almost as much aa of his great virtues, availed to stay tno nami oi wio uenix r not one jot.

After three days a ser ious complication Iwgan to develop, Tho fourth day his physicians limed bulletin that stirred tho whole nation to Its depts. On thu sixth day the king was dead. The shock to Great Britain nnd te tho world had been tremendous, not In a national way, for the death of li king has been discounted In tho niir kets for many years, but to tho em pire's sentimentality. King Edward was sincerely loved throughout the length and breadth of England's Ksseslons. He was loved aa a great son of a no- bio mother, ami ho was loved for him self because he had In his character that rare commingling of democratic simplicity with kingly dignity uhlch mado him Justly the "first gentleman of Great Britain." Politically, the death of Edward VII contains grave potentialities. The commons is now engaged In "reform ing Uie house of lords." To Edward a liberal ministry hsd looked with conn denco for the creating of such jx-ers u would carry out the will of Uie pwple aa expressed at the last election. Now a now king stcnt forward to take Ed ward's place. What attltuse ho my assume In this, the createst bolitlril crisis England has f need In generations. remains a problem. Nearly all members of tho king's Immediate family were at his IxihtJ when the king died. Just Ix-foro the end came, the royal patient rallied and spoke weakly to thoo about him. "I know It Is all over," he said, "but 1 think I've done rny duty." Those wero his last words.

Geogre brings to the throne consid erable experience of his own In rou tlno demands of public survlro made upon him as tho prince of Wales, and he comes to tho task of governing with fair ability, a good personality and a serious sense of his own responsibilities.
