1t was official to the extent that il was
given to the subcommittee of the citi-
zens' general committee, and duly report
ed at the general committees daily meet
ing The announcement was received
with applause, news from the insurance
interests having been waited with much
anxiety.
What will be the effect Of the pay
ment OF this insurance money! was
asked James d. Phelan, chairman of the
finance committee.
Nothing could do more good" he re-
piled. when the money is paid out to
1t viii bring about an early resumption

money 10 buy what they need and the
payment of these many million dollars
will greatly assist the banks on giving

will soon be paid, the insurance interests

"JODEY' FROWNS
ON GERRYMANDER
County Clerk Says All Parties
Will Be Consulted in Re-
arranging Districts.
NOTHING TO BE GAINED
ELDREDGE NOT IN HARMONY
WITH AUXILIARY COMMITTEE.

County Clerk "Jodey'' EIdredge yester-
day sidestepped the honor conferred upon
him by the Republican Auxiliary com
mittee" Tuesday night, when it appoint
ed him a member of a committee to help
the county commissioners gerrymander
the county in the rearranging of the cleo
ton districts. The astute "Jodey" is a
candidate for reelection to his present
office, and has no relish to figure in a
guaranteeing game so close TO- election.
He was not present Tuesday night when
he was appointed.
In the first place" said Mr.. Eldredge
in discussing the matter yesterday, mo
political party could possibly gain any
thing by rearranging the voting districts.
The fact that Democrat a Republican
might be switched from one voting district
to another would not affect the general
result in the county. If the commission
ers had authority to =earrange the wards
in the city they might in some degree af-
feet the election of city cOuncilmen; but
they haven't that authority, and il is idle
to talk about arranging the districts in
the interest of the Republican party or
any other party.

VIII Consult other chairmen.

II am chairman Of the Republican
county committee" continued Mr.. Ell
Mat Thomas and ! Z Da Tg1tsri' cb MiIn
men of the Democratic and Ameri-
can committees, and together we will
probably suggest to the commissioners
few things in connection with the rear
rangement Of the districts. The COM
misSionerS inform me that they are anx-
ious to receive suggestions not only from
Mr.. Darmer and Mr.. Thomas, but
from any other citizen of Salt Lake coun-
ty who wishes to be heard"
1t is probable that the city will be re-
districted within the next two or three
weeks. The adoption of voting machines
renders necessary the reduction of the
number of districts within the city from
hfty-three TO thirty-siX. The machines
Will not be used in the country precincts;
hence change will be made in their
boundaries. The commissioners are anx-
ious to get the redistricting done as soon
as possible, as all parties will soon be
anxious to perfect their district organ
iZationS.

Action Is Condemned.

The action of the auxiliary commit
tee in appointing a geTrymanderinS
committee was the subject of mixed ridi-
cule and condemnation by Republicans
and every body else yesterday. Republi-
cans, in discussing the action of a body
that would meet publicly and appoint a
committee for that purpose were inclined
TO mix up the word 'idiotic' with their
language, and il is evident that the ger
rymandering scheme has died a-bornin.

SIGNING PETITIONS.
Fur Licensing Corporations-Proposed
Initiative Laws.

Petitions are in circulation in
town invoking the initiative tor the
enactment of the laws proposed by
the State Grange, explanation of
which appeared in Tuesdays TIMES
They are in the hands of John
Withycombe, a we'll known student
and are being signedfreely. Up to
yesterday, about 200 signatures had
been secured in Corvallis. The
proposed laws are of a character
that ought to appeal to every citi-
zen. The Standard Oil Company,
for instance, did a 100000 bust
ness in Marion county last year and
paid $40 taxes. 1t is proposed to
levy a tax of three per cent on the
gross income of this company and
by that means force it to pay for
the privilege of doing business in
Oregon and thereby compel it to
pay its just proportion of taxation.
1t is also proposed to impose
similar indirect taxes on telephone
and telegraph companies, express
companies, refrigerator car and
sleeping al companies doing bust
ness in the state, All these laws
have been proposed in the legisla-
ture, but they have always been
turned down. There should be
no hesitancy in signing the petit
tons for they are in the interest of
good government and a proper dis
tribution of the tax burdens.

LIGHT PLANT SOLD.
New Owners Take Charge
February First Something;
About Them.

The sale of the Corvallis Electric
Light plant is announced. The
purchaser is the syndicate that was
recently given'a 80 years franchise
in Corvallis, and which owns the
light plants in WOODBURY., Silver
ton. Salem, Albany, Eugene. and
probably in other valley towns not
yet reported. The representative
of the corporation is R. WEIGH of
Salem.
The price paid for the plant is
$4,000. Under the terms, the own
ers are to take charge February 1st.
Ed Strange will have management
of the plant and remain in it in the
same capacity that he has hitherto
maintained at the works. He is a
very able electrician, as is manifest
by the excellent service the concern
has given nnder his direction.
The present instance is the third
time the local light plant has chang
ed hands. The works was built
by L. L. Hurd in the eighties. He
retired from it to give place to a
company of which J. M. Porter
held the controlling stock, which
company has since owned the plant
and business Most of the smaller
stockholders have long since dis
posed of their holdings. Porter
had a franchise from the city for
eight years to come when the late
franchise to the WEIGH corporation
was granted. The latter extends
to the year 1885.
There is a strong belief that the
Standard Oil people are the new
owners of the plant. When the
Corvallis franchise was sought it
was stated that the Eastern invest
ors we're Philadelphia people. A
dispatch in Sundays Oregonian,
sent out from Brooklyn, denies this
statement and says that 1t is very
rich New Workers that are reaching
out for control of the light plants in
the Willamette Valley. "The very
plan,' said a we'll known citizen
today, Gin which these people ara
going about the business means
Standard Oil. That corporation"
he continued, els already in Port
land with its grip On several big
enterprises. 1t owns one of the
biggest banks: 1t controls the
Portland General Electric Compa-
ny. Of course, wherever it goes, il
controls the situation and drive:
out competition. The way it is go
ing about the purchase of light
plants in the Willamette valley
would suggest that it expects te
be master of lighting, whether cleo
trio or by coal oil. just as it is mas
ter of the oil business in many
states now trying to drive then
from their BORDERS"
1t is to be hoped tho new transac
ton may be fer the good of Corval
lis and that the misgivings on &C
count of it are without foundation

DYNAMITE KILLS FIVE.
Fall of Thaouimg Erplosiue Causes
Injuries to Mana More.

Chicago. Jan. 6.-F've men were killed in
riously injured by the explosion of a ton of
dynamite at the quarries Of the Dolese & Shep-
ard Company, at Gary. ILL.,, to-day. All of the
killed and injured aliens and lsiborers
The cause of the explosion is not known but
It is supposed that box containing one hundred
pounds of cartridges fell from the top of another
while 1t was being thawed to use for blast
ing and that the explosion of this amount set
off the rest of the two thousand pounds.
The building in which the dynamite was stored
was at one end of a quarry III which about
forty men were working. There were seven men
in the building, which also the boiler room
of the plant
Three of the who were instantly killed
at work In a trench about fifty feet from
the building in which the dynamite was stored
Pieces of the wrecked building were showered
upon them crushing them 10 death The other
two men killed by the concussion while
working In a blacksmith shop close by. OF the
forty men at work at the quarry hardly one
escaped injury of some kind from the falling
debris of the wrecked buildings but only eleven
ststance- The building in which the dynamite
was being thawed was demolished. All of the
other structures belonging to the plant were
damaged The total loss to property is $25000
The force of the explosion felt for more
than twenty miles and many windows were
broken in houses standing three or four miles
from the quarry.
