' Tie railroad commission In notified tie 8alera Water Company to file a statement of toe Taluation of iti plant, give 1b detail the cost of operation and roaintenanee, estimated depreciation or appreciation in value, in fact a detailed statement of everything necessary in arriving at a fair and just estimate of what pricei the eompany, should lave to return a fair and equitable income on ita investment. No time baa been set for a bearing, nor will tbcre be Until this report is filed by the water eompany, which will begone within the next few weeks, from present indications. The Portland Hallway, Light A Power Company case is set ahead of the Salem case, but an that will take , considerable time to ' get ready, it is probable the Palom case may be taken up pending the perfecting of the former. There is an immense amount of work involved in getting up a statement of thia kind, and just how soon the Salem eompany can get its report ready is not known, but it ia hard at work at it, and seems as anxious to get the mat ter settled as is the city. Salem elti r.ens want the water company to have a fair and just return on its Investment and do not want something for noth ing, but there is a general footing that when a citiren'i yearly water bill is larger than his bread bill, there is something the matter with the water bin. Art of Weighing Now a Science (Continued from page one.) went to tho place. Diggs opened the door. He denied that he was "Mr. Diggs." "My name is Enright," he said. Then he was forced to admit bis identity. The officers entered and, thay lay, found all the occupants in their nightclothcs, The girls begged to be taken to their homes. When they went back to Sacramento, they entered the city secretly for fear of ar. attack on the prisoners. The men were placed in tho county jail. The By Edgar Laden I.arWn. The art of weighing has expanded in to a comprehensive science and can no longer be called a mere art.. Bcalea are mads of metal, but the set herein do scribed ia not made of anything. Scales are in hourly use that can weight a pen cil mark whose length is one-fourth, of an inch; or a section of a hair of equal length. The usual practice in weighing rum from grains, ounces, pounds up to fifty tons, in railroad weighing, cost ing hundreds and thousands of dollars. But humans would find it quite dif ficult to make scales that would weigh' millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions, qulntilliona, lextilions, septillons, octil lions and nonilliona of tons, or decil liona An instrument able to weigh a decillion torn can now be purchased for one cent a pencil. The scales are not mads of metal; instead, a set and fixed specific speed ia the next all-powerful engine used. But it is far more easy to run a lomotive or steamship without knowing a single law of these complex machines than to even attempt to use the speed scales without knowing every minute detail of every velocity law of moving bodies. Elementary Laws. Let a street car start from rest and keep moving fast and faster until its rate of motion is, say 20 mile per hour at the end of one minute. If the speed of the car increased uniformly during the entire minute its average speed is ten miles per hour, bocaiiEe it started j from rest and increased to 20 miles per hour. If a body moves during one min ute at 20 miles per hour the distance traversed will be speed multiplied by timo, or 20 miles multiplied by one sixtieth of an hour, or one-third of a mile; but the average speed in case of the car is ten miles per hour, so that the distance moved over is half as great or one-sixth mile. This is a fundament al law of nature and is of enormous importance. Law: For uniformly increasing speed, starting from rest, the velocity in creases with the time, but the distance traversed is that moved over by the moving body with its average speed, or one-half. Go to the top of a high tower and let fall a smooth stone, or better, a sphere of lead or iron. Take up a very accurate clock, one that clearly roads exact seconds on a large dial. Let the body fall and measuro the distanco it las fallen during the first second, re-1 cord this in a little book. To be sure, repeat the experiment; the two will not agree; try again; so agreement; try again; no agreement. Experiment all day, then all of the next, and keep at it; no agreement. Wonderful Machine. If measuring the distance fallen through by a body let fall at the rigid ly exact beginning of one second of time requinred to find the mathema tically exact specific speed of a falling body in still air was almost that re quired' to measure the distance of the nearest star, about 120 years. Then Atwood invented his machine and this finally came to some near ap proach to accuracy. But thia instru ment of precision fell far short of the electrical chronographie apparatus. When all of this very complex mechan ism is in perfect order it releases the ball at the exact beginning of a second and records the absolute time on the cylinder of a chronograph electrically and repeats the process at the absolute end of the second so far as human hands are able to do rigidly accurate work. The moment that those supermen, N'ewton and Liebnitz, discovered that mighty power, beside which all else human pales into insignificance the stupendous calculus of differentials every mathematician saw immediately that one of Nature's moet magnificent laws was found in falling bodies. And then began the relentless and arduous self-imposed work of more than a hun dred years to find the set specific speed acquired by a falling body at the in stantaneous and absolutely exact end of the first exactly measured second of time since man appeared. The Astronomical Balance. The result is one grand, all-potent, all-powerful mean or average of a cen tury of world wide measures, the dia mond of diamonds, the most valuable number in possession of man, the astro nomical balance: lfi.1 feet fallen to end of the first second; 32.2 feet per second speed at end of first second. That is, a body let fall will, under the action of the earth's attraction of gravitation, fall 16.1 feet during the first absolute second of time; and at the absolute end of the second will be in motion with a velocity of 32.2 feet per second. These numbers constitute the most accurate and all powerful scales in existence. Lowe Observatory, Mt.

They may be had in tans, grays and black. The shoe polishing outfit comes in the form of a perfectly appointed foot rest or in a separate case. The soft silk mending bag ia a great convenience. It contains silk, thread and buttons, and when not in use it folds and ties flat with ribbon tie and may bo dropped into the rail pocket. The linen rail pocket that has a number of small pockets on the out side is made to match the car covers. Its initials are heavily embroidered in silk and it is silk bound. It is wash able. "Sport" coats in various materials are the latest in fashionable extra wraps for outing uses. They are shown in reds and greens, with large white bullet buttons, and in many of the fa vorite tweeds, but none are more popu lar than thoso of white beaver bound with broad black silk braid and having black crochet buttons. The white felt hat worn with them also is bound with the black braid. "Did tho janitors get that money!" said Underwood. 'I am not defending tho National Association of Manufac turers. Their conduct is ropresensible, but when Mulhall writes about me he is committing libel." In reply to Underwood, Mulhall said he had paid Underwood's janitor for two years. He said: "I know, and when I produce other witnesses, Underwood will admit that part of his statement is a lie. If you brand me here as you do, I will say that I have endorsements from leading Re publcians regarding my truthfulness, and I believe that if my proofs are put with yours bofore the people, I will stand as clear as you." 'I am not arguing standards of con duct with yon," was Underwood's on ly reply. Mulhall Raps Watson. Today's Mulhall letters read to the lobby committee brought the witness to his resignation from the service of tho N .A .M. After ho quite the Manu facturers' employ, Mulhall wrote for mer Congressman' Watson, of Indiana, saying ho believed Watson was his ene my and that he hoped to be nblo to show Watson he still had somo fight iu him. As this letter was read to the committee, Mulhall interrupted: "Yes, ami I want to say that I saw that gentleman (Watson) before his family rniso his right hand and swear before Cod, that if ho ever had a chance to repay mo for what I hod done fur him, and did not do it, might his right, hand wither. He is another of tho kind of men who are now com ing here calling uie a blackmailer." Mulhull's charges against Under wood were first made public through tho reading late yesterday of a lotter before the committee which mentioned interviews Mulhall declared he had held with Underwood. Money Offers Rejected. Mulhall was cross-examined regard ing efforts to make his letters public, lie said ho offered tho lattors and doc uments, through Congressman Me Per mott, of Illinois, te Speaker Clark and Congressman Mann, but that both re fused. Then, ho said, ho offered them personally to Secretary Wilson, then a congressman, and to Samuel (iompors, who also rejected them. j Mulhall 's enmity to former Congress man Watson was explained when he ad-1 mltted, believing that Watson had tried to "undermine him and get his job.'' The committee frequently had to stop Mulhall when he ranted hysterically agslnst "men for whom he did work, and with whom ho was once friendly, now characterising him as a black mailer." Mulhall promised to "get them," shouting his intention of "pro ducing witnesses." During Mulhall 's examination no definite reason was given for his al leged payments to janitors, but it is assumed that since they were employed in the capitol, Mulhall thought they wouJH be valuable to "tip things off." No definite testimony has yet been given on this point. BEAUTIFUL COLORS ARE RESULT OF NEWPORT AIR According to A. G. Magcrs, Jack Crowe, manager of the Hotel Marion, is a regular human chameleon. Messrs. Crowe and Magers went to Newport several days ago in the latter 's auto. It appears that when Mr. Crowe left Salem, his face was white. After me andering about the beach awhile, that gentleman's gonial top front-piece turn ed a beautiful carnation pink, then it was shaded down to a deeper color by Old Sol, and when he returned to Sa lem last night, he was sure one red brother. Now, declares Mr. Magers, Jack will turn maroon after sporting all of the pinkish portion of the rain bow. The two local men had a splendid trip, however. Mr. Crowe has traveled oxtensively in other countries, but states that never before has he witness ed such scenery es he did on the trip to Newport. The party remained four days at the beach and, leaving Newport at 9 o'clock yesterday moming, arrived home at 6 o'clock last night. They stopped on hour or two on the road for lunch. Strange to say, the tourists report that the roads leading from Corvallis to Newport, over the mountains, are in much better condition than thoso be tween Salem and Corvallis. COHAN AND HARRIS HAVE NEW AMERICAN DRAMATIST. Each season Messrs. Cohan and Har ris make it a rule to bring out an en tirely new American dramatist, and so far their experiments havo boon ex homely successful. Last sensou it was Cnrlyle Moore with "Stop Thief"; tho season before Augurtin Marling! with "Officer Clifi," and the coming sensou lhey will inlroduco Kdwnrd Las ka as the author of a new comedy call ed "The ltrnin Promoter, " which is to have an early fall production. Edward I.aska began his career in tho theatrical field nine' years ago at the age of 1ft by writing the American numbers used in "Tho Earl and tho Girl," the most successful of which were "I Would Like to Marry Yon" am" "How'd You Like to Spoon with Mof" Since then ho has been a regu lar contributor to Broadway musical comedies, writing both lyrics and mu sic. Two years ago Mr. Laska began to realize his ambition to become a dra matist and "Tho Brain Promoter" is the result. Contrary to the haidships usually un dergone by playwrights Edward Laska has been exceptionally fortunate, f,ir not onlyis "The Ilrnin Promoter" his first play, but Cohan & Harris were tho first managers to whom it was sub mitted, and they accepted it after read ing the first two acts, an unusual pro- ......... me iiuinor nnxiestlv ex plains in the statement that he has de vote,! the past ten years to a thorough study nnd alaysis of dramatic technique so that when he finally-decided that ho was rcadv to writ k i - ut mis equipped with the practical knowledge that is so necessary no matter how abundantly liberal nature has been in the matter of talent.

The weekend suitcase with tray and adjustable toilet tray, is large enough to hold all clothing needed for comfort. Rubber bowls, pitchers and other conveniences may be purchased in sots or separately, as desired and are very comforting accessories on the long trip. Hat fashions this season give wide range for individual choice. Ratine hats in white and tan; soft, silk-faced hats, braid trimmed, and silk stitched hats are among the most popular fold ing hats. The "country club" is one of the smartest soft felts. What's On Your Mind Thi Evening? Want to Raisz Some Money ? There' a sit You should worry.
