The pipe for the street drainage
sewers to be laid by the Warren COM
pany has now arrived and during the
day teams have been engaged in
hauling the same 10 positions along
Main street.
This morning a small crew or men
was placed at work digging on Water
street beside the rear of the Hotel
Pendleton. where the outlet will be.
Others will soon be placed at WORK
excavating on Main and Court streets.
The matter of having the electric
poles placed at the edge of the side
walks instead of in the cutters has
been taken up with the Northwestern
Gas & Electric company, and it is be-
lieved the change can be secured.
1t is now apparent that the tele-
phone company is not going to have
its wires placed underground in ad-
vance of paving. despite the fervid
promises made by the company Il
month or more ago. One of the Of
ficials who was here last evening from
| Walla Walla, declared that the un-
derground cables cannot be placed at
present owing to the company's ina
bility to secure the necessary mater
ial. However, he said the under
ground cable would be installed even
tually, and that the Court street poles
now in the gutter, will be removed.

DENArURED ALCOHOL IN PARIS.
Price Varies With the Demand for
the Product.

James Il. Dunning, American con-
sui at Milan. who has made a special
study of denatured alcohol, in Paris
and Milan. Writes as follows in his
consular reports:
Denatured alcohol is composed, ac-
cording to French law, of 100 parts
Of ethylic industrial alcohol grading
80 degrees at n temperature of Is de-
grees centrigrade, of 10 parts of meth
ylic alcohol industrially denominated
methylene. and which itself is COM
posed of IS per cent Of methyllc al
cohol, 25 per cent of acetone, GER
tain quantity of impurities. ami fin
ally a one-half part of heavy benzine.
The price of alcohol at 80 degrees
which serves as a basis, Is very vari-
able, and depends upon the demand
and supply in the Paris marked which
is held daily. This price is actually
about 43 francs ($S.3O) per hectoli,eJ
(26.4l gallons) naked, base 80 de-
grees, with a premium for quality
over 90 degrees and the tax on manu-
facture, /. e., 1853 francs (31 cents)
per hectoliter (26.41 gallons) of pure
alcohol taken at the distillery. The
cost of transportation is 10 be added
to this price.
For your information let me say
that we have seen the market reach
26 francs (s5,OD in 1901 and 81
francs GID in 1905. Thus YOU see
how difficult it is to establish an av-
erage price for this article, which Is
so much speculated upon. Methylene

Tcnmsters Want More Money.

The members of the Team Drivers
union have decided that $3.50 for 10
hours work is not an adequate wage
in thise times of prosperity, says the
Oregon Daily Journal. At its regular
weekly meeting last night the union
appointed a committee to draft re-
quest on the employers for an increase.
The increase asked for will probably
be 25 cents, though it is stated that
this has not vet been definitely decid-
ed upon. The committee, of which
a driver named Dugan is chairman,
consists of five members. 1t will
probably report back to the union be-
fore further action is taken. The
employers will be asked to grant the
raise beginning with September l.

($15.44 to $19.3O) per hectoitcr

As to the uses of denatured alco-
hol they are multiple-lightins heat

assume large proportions, moving on

NEW TOWNSHIP LAWS.
Important Changes Applying to the
Corning Election, March E3.

With the first of March this year
some changes in the township law go
into effect that it may be well to call
attention to, says the Albert Lea
Standard. Heretofore one Of the
supervisors elected at the annual
town meeting has been designated
upon the ballot as chairman. Here
after the board of supervisors each
year, at their first meeting must elect
one Of their number as chairman;
with the exception that if last year a
chairman was elected for three years
he will continue to hold his Office TIL
the term for which he was elected
expires. In other words the law con-
templates, when present conditions
fully expire, that each year one
supervisor will be elected for three
years and each year the board of
supervisors, including the new mem
bers, shall choose one of their num-
Der for chairman. Another radical
change IN the law provides that in the
election of overseers of roads, the
overseer of each district (who must
be qualified voter residing in said
district), shall be rejected only by the
voters present at the town meeting
from that district, and not as hereto
fore by all the voters of the town.
In case there are no voters present
from given districtand consequently
no overseer of roads can be elected
for it, the board of supervisors are
empowered to fill such vacancy, pro-
vded that no member OF town
board is eligible to receive such ap-
pointment.

State Is Not Crippled.

The state auditors Office has figured
on receipts of $3, 0OO, 900, based on 4 per
cent. The Great Western, Mime
apolis & St. Louis and Wisconsin,
Minnesota & Pacific are yet to report,
and have been estimated. The con-
test by the Great Northern and Great
Western will keep the amount paid
this month down to about $2,75O, 900
but this is a great increase over last
year, whom the total collected was
ST. Oil, 194,43.
The contest therefore does not Grip
pie the state financially. When the
4 per cent bill was being debated in
the legislature, a bugaboo was raised
by it's opponents. They said the rail-
roads would refuse to pay any of the
tax, and the state would suffer for
lack of til 9 money. The law passed,
however, provides that before con-
testing the increase in court the COM
panies must have already paid the 8
per cent.
