In the Supreme Court yesterday . a
moat Important appeal case Import
ant ,to the city of Salem was deckled,
and decided In avor of the city, with
the recruit, that it Is safe to nay that
'the City Is JiOOO ahead on the Anson
light contract, having secured a' de

and hi surety, the Fidelity & Deposit;

R. Anson, and Fidelity -fa Deisit

Hon. George ft. : Burnett. Judge;

, This was an action on the bond exe
cuted by F. R. Ajuiod aa principal and
th' FIdeitty & bepoait'. Company : of
. Maryland a surety. The bond of-$5000
wan given' to Insure the -construction of
an eleitrle light? and power plant in
Salem, by F. It. 'Anson. Wl'thln a speci
fied time. The Hty -reserved, the right
of pun haul ng the plant, and Anson
agreed to pay to the" city, monthly, -per
cent of the gross income from the
plant from the time of Its construction.
Anson failed to construct the plant,
and the city broogbt this action against
him. and the surety to Enforce the col
lection of theTond. The complaint sets
out .the ordinance granting- he fran
chise, and the bond, but does nt. allege
damage, and'tne trial court sjjKtatned
a demurrer to, the complaint.lwhere
upon Judgnept i as entered and the
appeal folio-. ; ,
The appellate court, in: passing on- the
case says the ttrstquentlon Is as to the
bond. T,he opinion quotes the charter;
provisions resisting the 'council s eg-
elusive power t t-ontriict'for light and

water companies, et, and: continues:; "
"The' legislature has thus delegqtfed

that the anlount.jstlpulatled In the bond

LIQUID AIR.
x Five years ago air was regarded as
a gas onjy. Then.rarhc liquid air with
all Its possibilities of usefulness, arid
this has been followed by solid air,
the discovery of which is the culmlna
tldn of a serious of Jaborous expfrl
ments with liquid; ait?! ly Prof- Met.
Having nearly come to the end of his
supply, of liquid air, he determined to
use all that was left In a bold experi
ment, and succeeded in obtaining solid
air. ' He took a large itest-tube, about
18 inches in Jenglh and over one Inch
in diameter, and put the liquid air Into
IL fining ft to within six' inches of the
top. He then corked It, arid through
the cock inserted a bent glass tute con
nected with his vacum apparatus, and
the latter, was started ao as to cause
the most rapid evaporation pofSible.
The liquid air when put Into the tube
stood at tbe tow temperature of 212
degrees, below zero, and Under th rap
id evaporation the .temperature fell
many degrees lower still. The cold be
came so intense that the atmospheric
air all about the tube condensed and
liquefied on the outside of tbe tube and
ran down just a steam condenses on
the outside of a tumbler of cold water.
These drops were caught In a Dewar
tube, and proved on experiment to be
identical with liquid air. In the mean
time the original volume of a4r in the
test-tube was found to halve been re
duced to a small lump scarcely more
than one Inch deep in arrearanee, -e-sembiing

The above table shows that Multno
mah county has about 34 per cent of
all the taxabje property in the stale of
Oregon: as Its- proportion of the state
tax to be raised is only about 3f per
cent. It can be 1 seen that Multnomah
county fares Well under the! assessment
law." Marlon county's proportion oi the
state taxes is 6.13 per cent. While Its
total taxable property is only .? rer
