Making a Light Without Heat.

Ray Stannard Baker in June McClure's. The most wasteful. the least efficient of all widely used electrical devices is the incandescent lamp. Of all the power used in producing the glowing filament in the Edison bulb. more than V per cent is .ab- solutely wasted. scarcely 3 per cent ap- bearing in light. This per cent effl- ciency qf the incandescent lamp com pares very unfavorably, indeed. with the 4S per cent efficiency of the gasoline en- zine, the 22 per cent efficiency of the marine engine. and the 90 per cent effi- ciency of the dynamo.
 The waste of power in, the incandescent lamp is known to be due largely to the conversion of a considerable part of the electricity used into useless heat. It was therefore necessary to produce a cool light; that is. light in which the energy

 1. Selling liquor to minor; what consti- tutes offense.-A conviction canot be had under an indictment charging the defend ant with selling spirituous liquor to a minor upon proof that the defendant was not interested in the sale of the whiskey but acted as the agent of the minor and others and bought the whiskey for them with money furnished by them; and where the evidence in the case authorizes the interference of such fact. it is error for the court to give the general affirm ative charge for the State.

THE STEAMBOAT PLACERS
A Mammoth Property OF South
eastern Josephine.

The Medford correspondent of the
Telegram says the store of gold which
has been lying for countless years
along the bedrock of Steve's Fork of
Steamboat, Is to be at last taken from
mother earth. The Oro Grande Min
ing Company, consisting Of J. A.
Whitman, J. d. Heard and their
associates. now have 10 men at work
constructing ditch 2i0 rods long,
which will give pressure Of 250 feet.
and which they expect to have COM
pleted about the 9TH or Sth of July.
As soon as the ditch is completed
piping will commence and the major
ity of the men employed ON the ditch
will be transferred to similar work
for the Missouri Mining Company
consisting Of DR.. Shearer, @. j. Law
renee, A. NJ. Scott and W. II. Hickey,
whose property adjoins that of the
Orc Grand.
The property of the last naiued COM
pany lies above that Of the Orc Grand,
and reaches we'll up on the slope Of
the famous Grayback Mountain,
whose stores Of treasure have fed
many of the gold bearing streams of
southwestern Oregon and northern
California. Groupings of an extensive
quartz ledge have been discovered ON
the Missouri property, which are rich
in free gold and copper. A good
ly supply of specimens were brought
in Saturday and sent to San Francisco
to be assayed Outside of the propo-
sitions, however the company has n
large area of placer ground and at
present the quartz is merely consider
ed side issue.
The fact that Steye's Fork is rich
has been we'll known to miners in
Southern Oregon but the immense
difficulty to bo encountered in getting
in aud ont has heretofore deferred its
development The two companies
now working the creek have con-
structed a good trail thereto aud 1t is
comparatively an easy matter to reach
the mines.

A PROMINENT MAN.

weston's Mayor, II. u. Nelson, Died
Saturday.
f There are heavy hearts over at Wes-
ton. III. B. Nelson, for years promin-
ent factor in the history of the town and
one of its main business and induitrial
promoters, died Saturday night and was
buried Sunday. In Athena Mr.. Nelson
was well known and highly respected.
In lodge work he was always at the
front here as we'll as in his own town,
and the material in many Of our busi-
ness buildings stand as monument
to his industry.
III. B. Nelson was born in Bellefoun-
tame, o., September 0, 1848. He came
west as far as Kansas in 1870. In 1878
he was married to Miss Mary @. Clark.
He returned to Ohio, coming west again
to California in 1877, and remained there
two years, coming to Weston. Or, in
1879, where he established the brick
business, which is now one Of the largest
plants in the state.
Mr.. Nelson was one of the best known
men in Eastern Oregon, and was honor
cd and beloved by all who knew him.
During bis residence in Weston he has
served as mayor three different terms.
He wasa stanch republican and mem
ber Of the A. O. u. w. and the X. Of r.
The funeral services were conducted
at the family residence Sunday, and
were largely attended, friends coming
from all adjoining towns. He was laid
to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
His wife, one daughter, Mrs. v. II.
Chastain, of Milton, and one son, G. e.
Nelson. of Weston, survive him.

HAD ANARCHIST PAPERS.

Suspect Ordered From WaIIa Walla--
Rifle Went with Hlin.
Joseph Becker, alleged anarchist, who
is said to have contemplated the as-
sassination Of President Roosevelt while
at the garden city, was released by the
police. II was made known that when
Becker was searched by the police at
the jail an anarchist paper Of an old
date was found on his person. The
paper in question was one that had been
suppressed by the government years
ago.
Nothing could be proved against tho
man and the police had no reasons for
holding him any longer. His rifle was
returned TO him and he was ordered TO
leave the city. He followed out the
warning TO the letter.
Becker denied that ho was an an.
archist, and said that no sane man
would attempt to kill Roosevelt. ILe
wept profusely while making. his state
ment.

Teddy at syaiia yvaIIa.

Teddy was in Walla WaIla Monday,
and SO were about 25,001 people. They
went there to see him. Many went from
Athena. The business houses were
closed here during the afternoon and
the town was deserted and dead as a
door nail. There was prize galaxy Of
pickpockets in the garden city, congre-
gated for the occasion, and the 15 empty
purses found in the o. r. & N. yards,
and but one arrest made, speak as a
glowing endeavor to police the town.
Either Weston has more money than
any community hereabouts, or her in
habitants were particularly unlucky in
running the thieying gauntlet, il all re-
ports are true. Among them is Jess
York, heavy loser.
