Tbe members of the Retail , Liquor Dealers' association of that city have promptly drawn up their demand and they are all designed to render saloons less objeotionable forces in the com munity. They are: No free lunohes; midnight olosing ; revooation of lioense upon aeoond violation of Sunday law; open fronts; no"oombination" houses; stiiot enforcement of all laws relating to the liquor traffic In tbe opinion of tbe Spokesman-Review, these do not sound like the work of saloonkeepers, but is the sort of policy whioh the growing opposition on tbe part of tbe publio to saloons of tbe undesirable class have made imperative. Tbe sal oon keepers have read the writing on the wall and they realize that if they are to live tbey must live better. Bat although tbe self reform prooeeds from a selfish motive, it would be a narrow spirit indeed whioh would withhold from saloonkeepers of this class the commendation whioh their efforts to ward a better condition of affairs un doubtedly deserve. There should be something done down at Gorvallis and Eugene. Tbe riot resulting over Saturday's football game Is not only a disgrace to both eduoational institutions but to tbe whole state, When , students so far forget themselves as to become hood lums in tbe faoe of oollege presidents and offloers of the law, tbey should be summarily "tired?' from oollege and tbe game whioh engenders suob savage spirit and degenerate oonduot, black listed. It is up to the faculties of 0. A. 0. and U. of O. to straighten out this disgraoefnl affair and from it evolve a lasting lesson whioh will for ever guard against a like poccrreuoe. As a rule tbe cities and towns throughout tbe state supported tbe Weston and Ashland Normal soboola, but tbe oountry land owners voted against ; them. The Eastern Oregon State Normal Sobool had a right to live, from tbe fact that it was the only state institution located outside of "hoglaud," and the eduoational in terests of tbe Inluud Empire were in sore need of it. Tbe few cents tax on eaob thousand dollars tax levy would never have been felt. The. result is but another demonstration of Oregon autios in putting the knife to education. The biggest mining deal in tbe history of the state took place during tbe paBt week when tbe Rainbow Mine, in the Mormon Basin, near Ba ker, was bonded to the United States Smelting, Refining & Mining Co. for $1,060,000. The pcrobasers have four months in whiob to look over the pro pel ty and make a cash payment of $250,000. At the end Jof six months the balance of tbe purobase price is to be paid. This is one of tbe best known properties in tbe state and has a gold production of about $200,000 to its credit. Roosevelt nays: "On every band, personally and by correspondence, I have been asked to make a statement regarding the eleotion. So far as I am oonoerned, I have nothing whatever to add or to take away from tbe declar ation of the principles whioh I have made in tbe Osawatoroie speeob and elsewhere, east and west, during tbe past three months. The fight for pro gressive popular government baa mere ly begun, and will certainly go on to a triumphant conclusion in spite of in itial cbeoks and irrespective of the personal success or failure of individ ual leaders." The Press is pleased to state that more than expeoted interest is being taken in the new commercial depart ment that bas been installed in the Athena High sobool. Indeed, it speaks well for tbe borne sobool that it , is possible for our young people to have advantage of a thorough business oourse, including book keeping, type writing and stenography, without be ing put to tbe expense and inconven ience of spending many months away from borne. On next Wednesday evening tbe members of the Athena Commercial Association will meet to elect offloers for tbe ensuing year. Tbe present officers have oonduoted tbe affairs of tbe association in a capable manner. The association has boen of consider able advantage in assisting to advanoe tbe city's interests and now that the long evenings of winter are at hand.'it is hoped that the regular meeting nights will be observed by regular at tendance of all members. That tbe Hill interests are prepared to spend fom $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 on extensions to tbe Oregon Eleotrio and United Railways in Western Ore gon during tbe ooming year is the statement of John F. Stevens, bead of tbe Hill system in this state. This will mean tbe construction of from 200 to 250 miles of new, interurban roads in tbe Willamette valley, south ern Oregon and the coast oountry.

KING OF THE METALS. The Importance of Iron to the Eleo trical Industry. The very root of the electrical indus try is Iron. Without Iron It Is doubt ful if the larger generators and tbe mighty motors could be built, for tbe powerful magnets . upon which these inventions depend for their power are all made of soft iron either in the form of thin plates or long wires cov ered with insulation. Nearly every one is familiar with the common horseshoe magnet, which is but a piece of steel bent in the shape of a horseshoe and charged with magnetism. When a steel bar of this shape Is rubbed agr.lust another mag net It Is "charged" and will remain so for n long time. The magnets used in electrical machinery nre of the induc tion type-that Is, the magnetism van ishes just as soon as the current is taken away from them. If you wind a long Insuiated wire tig :tly around a soft iron core and send through this wire n weak current of electricity the core will lie instantly possessed of strong magnetic qualities. This fact Is tbe basis of nil electric motors nnd generators. The field coils are usually made of a soft Iron core wound with yards and yards, of insulated wire. When the current Is sent through this wire the soft Iron core Is turned into a powerful magnet, and this magnetic power. Is used to drive motors or to penernfe more electricity .-Electrical ilulleiiii. C.'t "'if its if. Captivity. Tbe tnr'tw (lushed for an instant his dark hiuieni on the long line of ele phants.
