There is a resolution on the minutes of
the proceedings of the city council that
the city marshal enforce the law. The
motion was made by Councilman Chase
and for a few weeks the marshal closed
down the games. It was not long before
the games were running “wide open,”
and the people wondered why the city
authorities took a stand for the enforce
ment of the law and then suddenly got
cold feet. It the city dads had insisted
upon having the law enforced, as they
should do, and had lived upto the motion
they adopted, Tillamook City would
not have the bad reputation of being a
city where men are deprived of their
money through the gambling habit that
should ha ve gone to the support of the
family, and that a poor woman, a suf
ferer on account of gambling, had to
bring complaint, while peace officers, with
fat salaries, fail to do their duty. Had
Councilman Chase’s motion been lived
up to it would put a stop to arrests like
recently, and further to the bad repu
tation that Tillamook City is getting.
Men come here to trade, but they fool
away their money in the gambling joints
and arc sorry for it next day, conse
quently they go elsewhere and do their
t ading, away from the temptations of
gambling. It may be, before very long,
that the business men will catch on to
the fact that a wide open gambling town
is a detriment to business and gives
them a lot of bad debts.
Opening for Electricians.
In its latest issue “The Engineering
Record” notices approvingly an address
recently delivered before the Street Rail
wav Association by Professor H H.
Norris. The speaker had previously sent
a number of questions to members of
that organization, many of whom are
superintendents or general managers,
and on their replies hehad based his own
generalizations. The purpose of the in
vestigation was to ascertain something
about the prospect which the graduates
of technical schools enjoy of securing re
sponsibleplaces in the service of electrical
traction companies. A lew years ago
electrical enginerring was immensely
popular. The profession promised to
open great opportunities of usefulness
and remuneration to bright and well
trained young men. Recently it has been
intimated that the demand for such as
sistance was much smaller than Hie sup
ply. It has therefore been desirable to
obtain more light on the present situa
tion, and it is gratifying to learn that
Professor Norris regards the outlook to-
day as encouraging.
A number of railway officials have
told him that when a number of appli
cations for employment are under con
sideration the preference is given to the
technical graduate. The college man
was once possessed of the notion that
“he knew it all’’ when lie received his
diploma, whereas much practical exper
ience was nl«*o necessary. His inetruc-
tors have now opened his eyes to that
fact, and he assumes his new position
in a more humble state of mind. Vetrati
superintendents declar that neither ex
perience alone nor college training alone
gives such satisfactory results as a com
bination of the two. The value of the
technical education is recognized more
distinctly every \ear. Not only does it
facilitate n first engagement, but it is
almost certain to result in more rapid
advancement than would be possible
otherwise.
Professor Norris observes that some of
the openings for graduates are places in
which their duties are administrative
rather than scientific, but even for these
the knowledge of engineering increases
the incumbent's fitness. If a man dis.
plays executive ability his employers are
likely to give him a chance to exercise it
to the utmost. “The Engineering Rec
ord” is inspired by this statement to
recommet.d that the technical schools
impress upon the minds of their students
the wisdom of keeping alert to the pos.
sibilities of a career that is essentially
of a business character.
it is obvious that, sooner or later, the
newer branches of electrical industry—
lighting and traction—must follow the
example of telegraphy, and cease to de
develop ns rapidly as they did al first.
Neither of them has yet attained its full
growth, but traction has apparently
more unfulfilled possibilities now than
lighting Nearly ail the street railways
in the country are already operated by
electricity, and a considerable number of
electric interurban lines are it» service,
but scarcely a lieginning has i»ecu made
with the displacement of steam on trunk |
hues.
Here is a field of activity on ,
which tlie ambitious electrical engineer '
would do well to keep an <ye.
Ordering Goods by Mail.
It is undoubtedly only a question of
time before the parcels post system will
l< inaugurated throughout the country.
The demand is becoming so general that
the postal department cannot long with,
stand it, but it should be remembered
that reforms or innovations of that
character always come slowlv. The
system oí rurul free delivery hu» only
been in use a short time and that has
proven so successful and beneficial to
all concerned that it is only another
seep to inaugurate the parcels post. It
is very evident, moreover, that *.he gen
eral policy oi the department is to adopt
measures which bring the country and
city into closer communion. The busi.
ness interests of the cities demand this
and so do the people of the country.
At the present time there is under
consideration a measure for doing away
with stamps on circulars. The practice
has become so common of sending cir
culars through the mails that the Post-
office department has found the stamp
system too slow and too expensive a
method. The plan now is to send them
by weight, so that a house sending out
a number of circulars can take them to
the postoffice and have them weighed in
much the same way as newspapers,
only the rate of postage will lie higher.
If this method is put into practice it
will undoubtedly result in greatly in
creasing the number of circulars used.
Farmers sometimes feel that they are
burdened to some extent by advertising
matter of this character and yet it is a
great convenience. Business houses are
not going to spend thousands of dollars
in sending out catalogues and circulars
unless they have something to offer
winch is of inteiest to those who are to
receive them. It takes but a minute to
examine them, and by doing so a trip
to the city may be saved or new ideas
obtained.
The
practice of buying
through mail order houses is becoming
more common every year and with the
establishment of a parcels post the big
city stores will, as it were, be brought
to the farmer’s door.
Estimating Strike Losses.
Following the close of the recent costly
butchers' strike, the guessers have been
at work on the losses resulting there
from. The number of persons involved
is given as approximately 53,000—in
cluding the families of the strikers the
number is 303,000. The loss in wages
to employes is estimated at $5,100,000,
and the loss to the packers at $7,500,.
000. Few attempt a guess at the loss
sustained by the stock raiser, but one
authority risks his judgment and places
this loss at $2,500,000. He also esti
mates a loss to the railroads of $1,000,-
000 and to the public, through increased
prices of meat, of $5,000,000 more.
Putting these amounts together gives us
$21,100,000 as the cost of the struggle.
Whether the guessers have hit the
mark or not the result of their efforts
should set the people thinking. There is
at least one item in the list to which they
have not done justice. We refer to the
loss sustained by the meat producers.
W hatever the immediate results may
have been the stock growers will in the
end shoulder a large part of the whole
burden. It will be impossible ever to
determine how great their loss actually
is, as it comes in so many different ways
and ex tended over so long a period of
time.
The stockmen have not by any means
received all the loss that is coming to
them as a result of this disturbance. It
will continue to come for a long time in
the shape of a lower price fortheir stock,
due to the decreased consumption during
the strike, allowing an accummulation
of supplies, and to the contined lighter
consumption that is sure to follow for
some time to come. Until the public
understands more clearly the economic
principles through the operation of
which the idleness of any group of men
tends to reduce the remuneration of those
at work they will not view these indus
trial struggles in their proper light.—

K alama , Wash.. Oct. 12—Sheriff
Huntington has just returned from Kelso
where he had been investigating the
Kelley kidnaping case. He states that in
his operation the whole thing was a put
up job on the part of Kelley, and that he
thinks that Kelley did the work himself
and that the motive for the act was to
make people believe he had been robbed.
Kelley had set the time for his wedding
and did not have sufficient money to
carry out his arrangements. The rob
bery pretense was for an excuse. The
wire with which he was bound was cut
from the clothesline in use at the home
of Mrs. Calvin, where Kelley roomed,
and his hands were so loosely bound
that not a mark was made on his wrists.
Sheriff Huntington discovered that
when Kelley was released by Sid Jones,
the man who discovered him tied to a
tree, he walked into town so fast that
he arrived ahead of Jones. Kelley was
arrested by the Marshal of Kelso and
put in jail as soon as he arrived in town
after his release by Jones, on a w arrant
sworn out by Mrs, Calvin charging Kel
ley with insanity. The alleged victim of
whitecaps ate a substantial supper after
teaching town, and did not show any
signs of collapse until after supper.
The place where Kelley said he had
been bound, says the Sheriff, is w-ithin
150 yards of a gang of men building a
mill, who could easily have heard him
had he called to them when he was at
tacked. Dr. Bird, William Lysons and
Will Robb stood under the big maple
tree and talked for half an hour at the
time Kelley would have had to pass by
if he went there and when he said he did.
Kelley has told many conflicting stor
ies about the matter, and now refuses
to say anything to the Sheriff, but de
clares his case is in the hands of detec
tives. A few haye believed from the first
that Kelley was himself responsible for
the whole matter, and that opinion is
now pretty general. Although Kelley
alleged he had been bound lor four days,
his clothing was not soiled.
