The following was submitted to the editor with the request that the same be cither published in full or made the subject of editorial comment: "Leather and meats come from the same source, the food animals. Con sequently leather prices and meat prices, in a general way, go up toge ther, within approximate limits. "The great rise in meat prices, which every one knows who has had experi ence in household management, has been reflected in leather prices, dur ing the last few years. Inasmuch as 'c ;ii.cr forms two thirds of the cost of making shoes, an increase in prices of shoes was absolutely necessary. No shoe manufacturer could resist the powerful upward tendency, and of the retail shoc dealer had to increase his prices accordingly. "Inferior leather is in its worst possible place in shoes. It pays to buy gooil shoes, 'in which first class leather is used. They arc really cheapest in the long run. "But NO store anywhere can sell today at the prices of four years ago. H is impossible." Perhaps the strongest argument in favor of the Wilson plan for a reform in the currency system is the fact that it meets with the disapproval of Mi nority Leader Maun. A "SeedleBs" Congressman in 1914. In the interest of the government .service, the Democrat suggests that an expert commission man be at once dispatched to Washington with in structions to assume entire charge of the work of assembling and mailing free government seeds to the consti tuents of Congressman Hawlcy. The entire time of the Oregon congress man and that of his secretary is ap patently consumed in this difficult work and the mental and physical strain is entirely too much for our representative at the national capitol. From the standpoint of the con gressman, the seed business is a most important part of his duties. It nut be attended to promptly, even though less important duties are neglected The assembling of .-evils is a first lien upon the time of Mr. I law Icy and to the Democrat, it seems poor business policy to put a high salaried eon- ... v; Milan at work on a job which could be better attended to by some commission merchant with a small force of assistants. u ii-'k of sorting seeds and addressing envelopes un fits a statesman to a greater or less extent for debate. He conies into the chamber tired and worn out. He is physically exhausted and is unable to speak effectively agaiut flic in iquities of the Democratic tariff bill. Now had Mr. llawley been relieved of this work in due time, it is pos sible that a ringing speech from the Oregon congressman might have changed the entire tariff history of the extra session of .congress. The logic of an Oregon statesman might have convinced the house Democrats that free wool was both tin-American and l'n-l)emocr.itic. Again it is possible that the ancient plan of improving the Willamette riv er might have been rescued from its musty sepulchre mid made an issue in in the lower house of Congress. Unless Mr. Hawley is relieved of the responsibility of attending to the duties of his seed bureau, and is thus enabled to devote more time and at tention to questions of state, the Dem ocrat predicts the election of a "seed less" congressman in 1914.

Jun24-Jul I 8-15-22 PRECIPITATION HAS BEEN VERY LIGHT DURING 24 HOURS However the Weather Reports Herald Showers Tonight or Saturday. For the first time in nearly two weeks, this morning's weather report is void of a precipitation record. Al though a little rain fell yesterday, the fall was of so little consequence that a record was not made. The range of temperature during the past 24 hours is given as 72 to 54 degrees which is a little higher than that prevailing for the past three days. The river is recorded at the 6.8 foot stage and is reported to be rapidly falling, after a rapid rise from 3 feet during the past week. Although the weather report said fair yesterday and today, this morning's report says showers -tonight or Saturday. From this it may be inferred that the show ery weather is still on.

A large number of friends were waiting at the Hutton home to witness the ceremony and the wedding feast had been pre pared.

VICTIM OF SHOOTING NOT HUSBAND OF ALBANY LADY Local People Confuse R.D.Jack son of Moro With Harry W. Jackson. An article published in this morn ing's Oregonian concerning the shoot ing a young druggist, attracted con siderable attention in that the belief was entertained that the young man was the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. McCoy, who married their late daughter, formerly Miss Hilda, but up on investigation it developed that Harry W. Jackson is the name of the young man in question who was also a druggist. The article rims in part: R. D. Jack son, owner of the Monroe pharmacy, was was shot at 4:30 p. tn. today by a man who arrived on the train front Portland less than half an hour he fore the shooting. Jackson was in a confectionery store playing solo when the stranger came in and poke to him. Jackson answered, the two call ing each other hv tbpir first nrimps. Jackson turned around, resuming his play, and the stranger shot him in the hack of the head through his hi:. The bullet came out under the jaw and was spent on the table close to F. A. Savers, who was plaving at the same card table. Jackson was placed on a pool table and attended to by Dr. Nason. He has a slim chance to recover, the bullet having pierced his jugular vein, the victim bleeding freely. The stranger is named Easterfiroot. and has a recommendation as a drug gist. He seems to be addicted to drugs of some kind. He tried to kill himself after the shooting. He had a large spring-bask knife in his out side coat pocket. He is confined in the county jail. Mrs. W. A.
