BOURNE'S PARCEL POST
BILL.
Postal raits on parcels vary with
distance, thus protecting local mer
chants and competing with express
companies.
Third and fourth classes of matter
are combined.
A special rate of one cent an ounce
up to four ounces is provided for cir
culars and small packages of goods.
Rates are as follows:
Local, city and rural delivery only,
5 cents for the first pound and one
cent for each additional pound.
Within 50-milc zone, 6 cents for

-tional pound.

the first pound and 10 cents for each
additional pound.
Outside 2000-mile zone, 12 cents for
the first pound and 12 cents for each
additional pound.
These rates arc based upon a care
ful computation of the actual cost of
collecting, distributing and delivering
packages, plus actual cost of transport
tation.
Weight limit 11 pounds, and max
imum charge 12 cents the interna
tional limit rate.
SOMETHING TO THINK ArfOUT.
From now until Nov. the people of
Oregon will have something to think
about, with 27 bills up for the Nov.
election, but this is four less than
two years ago.
Of these six were referred by the
Inst legislature, and four of the laws
passed have been refcrendumed, in
cluding the U. O. bill.
The six measures referred to the
people by the legislature include an
amendment to Bcctlon 8 of article S
of the constitution, creating the of
fice of lieutenant governor; an amend
ment to Section 1 of article 9, provid
ing for uniform rules of taxation; an
amendment to section 32 of article 1,
providing that no tax shall be imposed
without the consent of the people or
their representatives in the legislative
assembly; an amendment to section
1 of article 9, abolishing poll tax; ail
amendment to section 1 of article 17,
providing manner of amending con
stitution; an amendment to section 3
of article II, fixing liabilities of stock
holders of corporations.
I, Two referendum petitions have been
(A't against the appropriations for
the University of Oregon, which ag
gregate $831,517.84, and a referendum
vote will be taken on I lie appropria
tion of $50,0110 for the Monmouth
Normal dormitory. Besides these
three, a referendum petition has been
filed against senate bill No. 72, which
provides for pulling regulation of all
public service corporations in hands
of the stale railroad commission.
Among the measures for which pe
titions arc now being circulated, or
will be circulated shortly, arc four tax
measures being prepared by the state
tax' commission; four highway bills;
one to abolish capital punishment; one
to fix railroad freight classifications
and rates; one for the repeal of the
county's right to establish its own tax
system; one to'subslitutc a tiling fee
for the petitions of candidates in pri
mary election; one to prevent conges
tion of nominees of one party in cit
ies; one to make Lincoln's birthday a
legal lioliday; one to make the tlat
salary amendment apply to the stale
printer immediately instead of at tile
close of the incumbent's term.
THE MATTER OF PAVEMENT.
The city has now let the contract
to thc Warren Co. for paving Sev
cnth street, Calapooia to Jackson:
Fuuith street, Washington to Main
and Fifth street, Kim to Main, a total
of 42 blocks. If First street is paved
from Montgomery to Main, almost a
necessity on account of the Oregon
Klcctiic depot tiatlic, and two blocks
with cement pavement on Third
street, heretofore ordered, and await
iug survey and estimates, there will
be a total this year of fifty two
hlocl.s, which will mean an invest
nunt of over $150,000 altogether.
This seems like a good deal, but the
tniMiev doesn't all go out of Albanv,
ami the investment is a permanent
one it is a part of modern city luak
ini;. and while it seems a good deal,
under thc ten year payments people
will be aide to meet the situation. It
is undoubtedly a fact that at the pres
ent time Albany's pavement is doing a
big tiling in Albany's development.
With a population of about 7,000 Al-ban-
is i.t a stage of progress where
it nui!,t keep going. It is not well to
overdo things, but it is well to meet
the demands of the day.
A general hustle will more than bal-
ance the account in faver of the city.
The present amount mapped out of
pavement is enough for the year.
NORTH ALBANY WANTS A
LINE.
Which one of the three R. R. com
panies now building electric lines
throughout the Willamette Valley will
be first to grasp the importance of
building a feeder from the Hub City
of Linn leading out through North
Albany and the thickly settled por
tions of North Henton? Will it be
Mr. Gray of the Oregon Electric, or
Mr. Welch of the P., E. & E or the
S. I'. K. K. Co., which is now at
work electrifying its west side system.
The people of North Henton are
standing with out stretched arms 'to
receive the man (or company) who
will take hold ol this important enter
prise. As we have stated before the
S. P. should be first to grasp the im
portance of this line in conjunction
with its West bide system, leaving
the main road at (or near) Wells sta
tion. The road would run in a south
easterly direction passing through a
thickly settled and fertile country, a
distance of some seven miles, inter
secting the main line of the Corvallis
& Kastcrn at North Albany, follow
ing the main line from there to tfic
depot at Albany, doing away with all
the expensive part of building the new
road. This branch line would permit
the S. IK to route hO" Through cars
from the Portland depot direct to Al
bany, the central distributing town of
her np-valley system. This line pass
es through a locality of untold wealth.

Live Experience oi Two Boys in
the Santiarn
Chester and Roy Faulkner, of Shel
burn, had a thrilling experience this
week while spearing suckers in a
branch of the Santiarn, with pitch
forks. Chester Fauikner in some way
slipped and went into a whirlpool deep
and treacherous, and was unable to
swim out. He had sunk twice when
his brother Roy rushed to his aid, and
he too was being whirled under the
waters, when T. J .Gibbons, who was
with them, waded out and reached a
pitchfork for enough for Roy Faulk
nor to grab it, and with the other
hand reach his brother, and the two
were pulled out, just about exhausted.
OBSERVED
A big load of oak grub sticks has
arrived at the Cameron mill, where
they will be turned into rollers for
the moving of the Young block from
its present location to Second and
Lyon streets. Some very tough wood
will be needed, and this will undoubt
edly fill the bill.
The Cameron mill is also busy these
days on the wood work for four sub-'
stations for the Oregon Electric, to
be set about twenty miles apart be
tween Salem and Eugene, for the
transformation of electricity for the
power used. One will be at Butler,
opposite Independence, one at Pirtle,
just west of town, another at Har
risburg, and the other at Eugene. Be
sides the station there will be a three
room cottage for the operator, making
neat nucleus for a settlement.
The Sand and Gravel Co. has its
bins well filled ready for the demand
of the spring season. The company
will furnish the gravel for the 52
blocks of paving in prospect. It will
consist of large gravel for 'the base
and small gravel for the top. AH of
this will have to go through the
plant.
By the way the plant of the War
ren Construction Co. will oon be
moved from near the depot, a poor
place -'ot it, rlwjiurjn--the Hammer
property bought by the Oregon Elec
tric, and leased by them to the War
ren Co., where the bitulithic will be
prepared and the gravel properly dop
ed, forming a solid mass for the new
gravel-bitulithic.
A very busy place is the planing mill
of C. W. Scars & Son, now figuring
on a large number of contracts. The
firm is as well already at work on
the furnishings for a number of fine
residences, among them one for Geo.
Kohler, of Glendorr, a $5,000 or $6,000
house, one for Ben Ridder, of this
city, a good onc, and one for Frank
