That the Southern Pacific railway lias no fear of financial depression as a result of the change in administra tion, is indicated by the formal state ment filed with the California rail way commission, setting forth in de tail the improvements proposed for the years 1913 and 1914. The company asks for permission to issue bonds in the sum of $30,01X1,000 for the electrification of the lines oper ated in the Willamette valley, the re construction of the Corvallis & East ern and other extensive improvements in railroads operated by the Southern Pacific in Oregon. Whcu a great railroad company like the Southern Pacific sees no dark clouds on the financial horizon, it is a fairly good indication that the money pulse of the country is normal. The Southern Pacific, or no other great railroad company will expend any considerable sum of money in ex tensions or improvements unless they feel certain that business conditions arc favorable. They are not in the transportation business ctr their health and will never spend a dollar for improvements unless there is a reasonable chance of obtaining an im mediate return on their investment. Good Roads Convention There is no subject of more vital concern to the residents of L.iun coun ty than that of good roads. The busi ness men and the fanner arc equally interested in the maintenance of first class highways from the rural districts to the more populous centers: They luive a community of interest in this subject. The Democrat suggests that a date lie fixed for n l,inn county good roads convention, at which representatives from the various commercial clubs and granges could outline a county cam paign for belter highways. The meet ing could 'be called at Albany or at some other convenient point and ev ery section of the county should be in vited to send representatives. Some uniform plan of improving the roads should be adopted and a convention of this character is the sensible way in which to take the initial step. The Baker Democrat makes the fol lowing editorial comment upon the encouragement of manufacturing en terprises: "Towns in the j-oiithcrn part of the state have started a movement to en courage the establishment of factories ami thereby create payrolls. It is Mich a movement to which alt energy should be directed for nothing carries with such guarantee of coiutnutiity prospcrity. Home industries art what Oregon needs ami until the money sent away for many conceivable things is kept at mime Oregon people will continue to labor to the upbuilding oi other states and to her own impoverish ment." "Koosewlt is coming West." says a press dispatch. Look out for strong westerly winds. According to a Salem dispatch, llki applicants for admission to the bat were granted certificates yesterday. If the members of this profession hould shoulder the musket Ou-v could conquer the world.

That she might have the rare and unprecedented honor of making out the blank for her own marriage, there by performing her last official act as a deputy in the office. County Clerk Marks and Deputy County Clerk Rus sell, generously refused the honor, despite the blushing appeals of Miss Savage, who finally walked up to the counter, and bravely'struggled through the ordeal.

MAN SEEKS HIS WIFE WHO IS UNTRUE TO HIM Pecular Circumstances Involve Case Concerning San Jose Couple. Believing that his alleged wife, whom it is understood has been here visiting for several days, has been un true to him, a man by the name of Jensen arrived in the city Sunday and conducted a quiet investigation hero and in Corvallis, in an effort to sub stantiate his belief that his supposed wayward spouse has been living with a map by the name of Savage. I'eculiar circumstances involve the -rase, in that Jensen avows that the woman is his wile but asserted that he was of the opinion that she had married Savage. He said that she had continually written to him at their home in San Jose, Calif., for money which he had supplied her with since she has been here. At Corvallis he got track of the woman and secured a warrant for her arrest but before the arrival oi offi cers, she had flown. Local police who have conducted an investigation of the case are of the opinion that the wo man is not Jensen's wife but that she has been living with him and that he became riled when he iound out that he had been furnishing her with mon ey, while she was living with another ruan. Last night Jensen decided to give up his investigation and left for his home in San Jose. EXECUTRIX NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that the un dersigned executrix of the estate of Rose E.
