THE RAlMIOAD COMMISSION has notified several companies, among them the Salem Water i'ompany, that they must furnish the commission detailed information as to their service and their incomes. This is the first step toward the final ad judication of tho Salem water question. The commission has an immense amount of work on hand, and it will ho some time, a month or two at the least before the Salem water matter comes up, and it may bo still longor. However, it is encouraging to know that it is under way, for that means that it will be reached sometime, and when it is, it i pretty certain that thoro will be a re ductiou in tho Salem water rates as they aro out of all reason. In this connection it might be said that there are many complaints made to this office concerning tho ways of doing business the company digs up. One complaint was that the company refuses to grant a rebato of 10 per cent, as it advertises to do. The specific charge is that when tho party went to pay Wb bill, he was asked if ho want-ed to pay his irrigating bill, and, reply ing that he did not want to pay it at that time, his other bill was discounted as usual. When he wont to pay his regular monthly bill recently ho was told that he could not be given a discount on that bill unless he paid the irrigation bill. Ho Baid that ho did not expect any discount on tho irrigation bill when he paid it, bjit cannot see why his regular bill is not subject to discount just the same as usual, Tho company, however, does not seo it that way, and refuses to discount any of his bills until that particular bill in paid. However, the wholo matter will bo threshed out in a few months, and there will be a now and more satisfactory deal. THE SECRETARY VERY MUCH ENJOINED. THE DAY BILL, providing for a special election next November, has made things extremely interesting for Secretary of State Olcott. Ha ' has been enjoined and restrained until when ho goes out to lunch he has to look at his files before ho starts to seo if ho has been enjoined from doing it. Ho has gotten so used to being served with injunction papers Hint if you speak to him without warning him that your intentions aro honor able, he reaches for a receipt book and, writes a receipt waiying formal service and promising to put tho mnttor up to supremo court as soon as possible. lie is much liko tho chickens belonging to the Arkansas farmer that mov ed so often that every time a covered-wagon showed up they ull laid down and crossed their lcgB, waiting to bo tied. I Tho latest thing in this line enmo up Monday, when an injunction suit was filed enjoining him from putting any initiative monsures on tho ballot at the special eloction called by tho Day bill for next November. The complaint sets up that the bill is unconstitutional, as it calls for an eloction where there is nothing to be voted upon, or where thore might bo nothing of this kind. The complaint also sets up that there are none of the minor provisions made for carrying on the election, and that this ovorsight is fatal. This complaint was filed Monday and it will be at once taken to the supremo court for final set tlement.' That the bill will be held unconstitutional, seems certain, and that there will bo no special election this year will necessarily follow. In the mean whilo, if you happen to got a lotter from tho secretary of state with the signa ture "Injunction" Olcott, instead of "Ben W.," you will know that Ben has been getting another suit or two started against his office. EFFECT OF CLOTHES ON MORALS. 4 X-RAYS. Albert Devino was arrested in Port land Friilay and sent to jail for 90 days. All that was found on him was a small Bible, but the detectives think ho stole that. Pretty tough when a man gets jugged for '"'getting religion." An advertisement carried on the streets Friday for the dance that even ing among other things read: "Cloth ing checked free.' "Must be going to have a swimming contest," renuirked a cynical visitor. It is claimed by some long-haired scientist that the weather can now be predicted a year ahead of time, owing to some things recently discovered about sunspots, and their relation to weather. These predictions can in fact be made now, but they are of no more real value than the present predictions, which are correct once the weather gets ettled, and before it makes up its mind to change. Mulhall's storv of how congress and the big political leaders played into the hands of the interests, is certainly nterestinir readme. If his story is one- half true there are some men who have loomed laree in public affairs who will be relegated to tho waste dump. Uncle Joe Cannon is one of them. That woman who stayed with the carnival Saturday night until sho was taken to the hospital to become a moth er, which we are glad to chronicle, she did successfully, was surely "a dead game sport." - The citv editor of The Capital Jour nal deserves the thanks of the com munity for the splendid weather during the Cherry Fair. The weather bureau generally sends out a rjluiotin that reaches this office in the morning, but Thursday moraine he neglected to do this. "Guess I'll have to make the weather myself this morning," said Donahue, "and I don't see why we can 't have it first-class, if we can make it ourselves." So be sent the copy in "Fair and Warmer," and that was the kind we had. THE ROUND-UP. Hood River says her cherry crop was never better. ft Independence will pave 14 blocks this year. Machinery is arriving to begin work on the Valiey & Siletz railroad, which is to be built from Independence to the Siletz Basin, and will later extend to Newport. Thomas A. Robinson, a brakeman on the Oregon Electric, was almost instant ly killed near Garden Home Sunday ev ening. He fell from the train owing to the breaking of a rod he was lean ing on, but was caught by the steps mid dragged 100 feet. His skull was crushed by striking against tho ties. A Mosier man has just finished clearing a oS-acre tract of land, it cost ing him $150 per acre. A dispatch from Klamath Falls says Ivan Daniels wns killed near there Fri day night by being run over by a freight train. w Malheur county's hay crop was badly damaged by rains. ricking of loganberries has begun at Quinaby. Mrs. Angelina Labbe, a pioneer of 185.1, died in Portland Sunday after noon. Sweet pea show in Oregon Hotel at Portland today. I 1 . NDER THE ABOVE CAPTION a communication in Monday's Oregonian I signed "Miss R. V. M." takes Issue with the Oregonian and some other I papers in the state on tho subjoct of present style in feminine raiment. Tho writer among other things opens up a wide field for speculation, at least, and says: "TtosidoB, there is the biological principal of sexual selection operating to improve) tho raoo. Clothes 'these troublesome disguises which we wear," in the Puritan poet Milton's classic phrase may often hido serious physical de focts that for the sako of raco betterment ought to be known." Here la a branch of the subjoct that has, so far, not been touched. Hore is a writer, presumably a woman, who boldly asserts that man has some rights that heretofore have been denied him. This very Interesting correspondent boldly asserts that "tho biological principal of sexual selection operating to improve tho raco" gives more man the sacred right to bo informed as to the liuild and make up, the construction of the female before finally making his selection of a mnte. This is indeed news, ami some will even class it as good news, but will it not bo rather tough on such unfortunate sisters as are pigeon toed for instance, or who otherwise do not como up to the Bertillon measure mental The writer artlessly saya that "when men got used to women's great er freedom in dressing, their tender moral sensibilities will no longer be out raged." She also says that "wherever women have been free they have never hesitated to show their physical charms. The fact that thev are now doing so more and more frankly arguee their increasing freedom. This tendency is biologically and therefore morally sound, and makes for the good of the race." Then on top of all this sho adds: "Another generation will see styles modified no doubt to a Inrgo extent, but not in tho direction of moro covering." From all this, "the substance of things hoped for but never seen" which tho poets write about is eventually to become public property. Tho dress reform is to continuo along the line of curtailment and abbreviation until Burns' "Cutty Sark," will bo in stylo and a half a yard of gossamer and a chew of gum will comprise my lady' wardrobe. "Meanwhile," says tho lady, "Let us take courage." This is really good advice and hoM be followed for we will certainly need it if the ideas ad vanced by her aro to materialize. However as brave men and good citizens most of the sterner sex will get a firm grip on their blushing diffidence and try to survive the worst, or best that ho new women can show them in the way of anthropological evolutionary achievements that heretofore have had to travel, so far as the unsophisticated male biped was concorned, under tho generic classification of "prognostication." I LADDT& BUSH, Bankers TRANSACTS A fllNXKAL BANKING BUSINESS. SAFETT DE POSIT BOXES. TRAVELERS' CHECKS. Hood River's public improvements for 1913, now completed, in progress or proposeil, will cost in the neighbor hood of $150,000.
