SAVE MONEY OH LIGHTNING.
New Bid for State Institutions Shows
dreat Reduction.

The state board OF capitol buildine
commissioners have opened bids fol
electric lighting for the state institu
tions located here-the statehouse
prison, asylum and blind school
Only one bid was presented, that OF
the Salem light and traction company;
which holds the present contract. The
proposals were for either meter or fiat
rate payments for all or part of the
institutions, and for four or ten years
so that the terms offered are not easi.
ly stated, but members of the board
say that the rates offered are about
80 per cent less than the state has
been paying.
The different plans proposed will be
submitted to the State engineer, G. c.
Lewis, who will advise the board
which plan of lighting is most advan-
tageous to the state. The state owns
a 15O-horsepower water right at the
penitentiary, which can be used for
about half the lighting If found ad-
visable Under the new contract the
state will save some $4,000 year.

Seven Headed Wheat Pays.

Eighty acres of seven-headed wheat
planted at Milton by ]. M. Freeman
show good prospects of crop OF Ct
to 70 bushels this year. Mr.. Freeman
obtained the wheat from German
two years ago and last year had five
acres of it. selling the product to the
Peacock mill for the same price as
bluestem. The flour made therefron
was nearly equal in quality to the besi
grades of bluestem, and as the yielt
was greatly in excess, the venture ap
pears profitable. This is the second
year of the experiment, and so far tht
new wheat has only been tried on hill
land.

Packing r1ariOn County Cherries.

The Salem fruit cannery is having
a very satisfactory run on cherries
and manager Holcomb says that the
total pack Of this fruit will amount to
about 5000 cases. Early soft cherries
were not of first-class quality, owing to
an overabundance Of water in them,
but they will keep well. The cherry
crop as whole has been of fair quail
ty and the quantity as large as was ex.
pected. The cannery employs an aver
age of about $50 persons a day.

NEW FIGHT ON THE CANAL.
Enemies Of Panama Want Government
to Show Hand.

New York, July SIN the Colom-
bian senate, vigorous protests against
the Hay-Herran canal treaty have
been made because it does not bear the
signature of President Marroquin, says

a two hours address, during which he
declared that the treaty should not bear
the presidents signature before final
approval. Ex-President Caro-, in .

The announcement few days age
that the secretary Of the interior has
disapproved a number Of "clear lists
in Oregon lieu land selections, disclos
es something entirely new in the land
matters in Oregon. None Of the state
land Office attaches have ever before
heard of g clar list being disapproved
This unusual action on the part Of the
secretary of the interior is conclusive
proof, IL any further proof is neces
sary, that all Oregon land matters are
to be scrutinized with utmost care
The disapproval Of these clear lists
occasioned no small surprise, though
the action is entirely in accordance
with the rules of practice in the de-
partment of the interior.

dam, hurried among the crowds OF
pleasure seekers who had gathered un-
der the roofs Of the eating stands, the
merry-go.round, the theater, dancing
pavilion and other buildings in line of
the water should the banks break, and
warned them to lun for the hills. On
both sides Of the grounds there are
high hills, the park being located in
ravine about a fourth of a mile wide
and mile long.
The rain continued to fall in tor
rents, and about 4 o'clock dam to the
east, containing 40 feet OF water, gave
way. The food beat down the ravine
with roar that was heard for two
miles. A half mile down, at the june.

CELEBRATED WOMAN.
Baroness Burdett-Coutt Celebrates her
Ninetieth Birthday.
Yours truly
+. w. CLANCY,
District Attorney.

London, April 21.-Today the Mil.
lionaire philanthropist, Baroness Bur
dett-Coutt entered her ninetieth year,
having been born April 21, 1914. She
has completely recovered from her
serious illness of year ago and there
is no apparent reason why she should
not live for a number of years yet, as
she comes of a family noted for its
longevity.
Sixty-five years devoted untiringly
to the distribution of a vast fortune
for the poor, that is the remarkable
record of this remarkable woman. Her
inheritance of nearly 100000 was
bequeathed to her by her step-grand-
mother, the wife of Mr.. Coutts the
banker. One of the most active lieu.
tenants of the baroness, and quite her
most important adviser, who was no
less a parsonage than Charles Dickens.
The great novelist was familiar with
every phase of life in London's squalid
east end, and together the two visited
the wTetched dens and planned whole.
sale reforms. One of the first things
accomplished was to demolish a low
den of thieves and murderers in Beth
nal Green, and erect IN its stead
blocks of model dwellings. The baron.
ess was really the pioneer of the
model dwellings in London, with every
accommodation in the shape of laun-
dry, baths, etc, and good library and
reading room.
When the weayers were absolutely
starving for want of work Lady Bur.
dett-Coutts came forward as the prin.

English Woman.

of the 5000 exemption allowed to the
head of a family. 1t is the duty of the
assessor to fix those values. If the
taxpayer knowingly omits any of his
property from his return, he is not
only subject to penalty of twenty
five per cent, but Is guilty of perjury
under section 4036 of the compiled
laws of 1897, but no such punishment
follows an under-statement of values,
if he does not ask the exemption, no
matter how dishonest or reprehensi-
ble such under-statement may be.
There is no way, however, for the
assessor honestly to avoid correcting
such under-statements. By section
4OS9 of the compiled laws, 1t is made
his imperative duty to increase the
amount of assessment when the return
of any person is incorrect as to
amount or valuation, and by section
4046 he is required to make oath that
during the whole time allowed by law
to make the assessment, he has made
diligent inquiry and examination to
ascertain all the property subject to
taxation, and that he has assessed 1t
equally and uniformly to the best OF
his Judgment, information and belief,
"at its full cash value" This Is no
| idle form, but it is an oath which
means what it says, and no assessor
can permit gross under-valuations to
| go on the assessment roll, and then
honestly take this oath. Undoubtedly,
for years assessors have looked on the
signing of this oath as a mere form
ality imposed by the statute and not to
| be seriously considered, but there is
not the slightest foundation lor this
view.
Well informed persons estimate the
value of visible real estate and i'm.
provements thereon in the city of AL
buquerque at from six to eight millions
of dollars, and yet the total assess
ment last year of all property in the
city, both real and personal, was less
than two millions, and the assessment
of the city property Is undoubtedly
more complete and higher than the
assessment through the rest of the
county.
Under the operation of a recent,
enacted law, an increase in the assess
ment of our county, will not entail any
corresponding increase in the proper
tion of the territorial tax which We
will pay, and it is to be hoped, this fire
quently urged objection being thus OBJ
waited, that the return to honesty ant
tba faithful discharge of official duty
will be immediate and thorough.

The 0psnins Night In Every Way a
Big Success.
PRETTILY ARRANGED BOOTHS.

The opening night of the bazaar for
the benefit of the st. Joseph SAM

one anticipated 1t to be. The attract

rious booths appealed to the popular
tastes of the people who attended.
Not alone was it success from So

not have asked for more generosity
than was displayed by the patrons Of
the bazaar.
The lady visitors had no difficulty
in finding attractions to suit their par
ticular tastes, while the gentlemen
could not have been more delighted
than they were with the smoking
booth, given the dreamy Turkish eff
feet by the neat arrangement OF Nav
ijo blankets of striking colors given
prominence by the brilliant rays from
hanging lamps.
The railroad lunch counter served
sandwiches and coffee that appealed
to the taste of every one. The young
people took a most noticeable inter.
est in the dancing program arranged
by Hall & Learpard. Prof, Di Mauro
furnished pleasing melody which
detained the merry dancers until near
ly 12 o'clock.
The greatest praise is due the mer-
chants of albuquerque who have gen.
erously donated valuable gifts, which
will be identified with success of the
worthy cause.
Gifts from generous minded business
men, which have not been mentioned
are s5 bill from Eastern Star chap
ter, twenty pieces of fancy pottery
given by Bibo Mercantile company of
Laguna; beautiful burnt leather ta-
bic cover and fancy dolly from the
