THE PENSION OUTLOOK.

The most striking exhibit in the re-
port of the Commissioner of Pensions
for the fiscal year 19O6-'C7 is the net
decrease of 800 in the pension roll.
The number Of pensioners on June 30
was 967, 81, the smallest total since
1894. Before the passage of the depen-
dent pension act of 1890 the pension list
carried about five hundred thou sand
names. Between 1890 and 1894 the
total rose to $3.50, 544 and from 1898 to
1905 it fiuctuated between 991, SIG and
999, 446. 1t has now begun to decrease
materially, despite new and highly
liberal legislation, and there is reason
to think that in the next five years it
will drop well below nine hundred
thousand.
The cost Of the pension system has
varied little yea by year in the last de-
cade. IN 1897-'98 it was $It9, 765, 600.
Since then it has ranged from egg 9a2, =
600 in 1909 4 to $161, 1876, 600 in 1901, %.
Last year it was Sal, 464, GOO. Predic-
tons were made when President Roose-
welt issued his much discussed age order
in 1904, const- Iirg age as a disability,
subject to evidence in rebutta1 hat it
would increase the cost of nsions as
much as 1900, 90. The Tribune held
that the addcd cost would hardly be
noticeable in the annual appropriation
This has been the case, for the apprl
priation for 190G-'07, after three years
of administration under TIT order. :
the smallest with one exception sine
189S-94. Congress passed on February
6 st an age pecsica act, increasing
the allowances made under the Roose-
velt orde Thi ct it was prophesied,
would entail n ar I" ga expansion
of pension payments But, though
l2O, $50 claims have been allowed under
the provisions Of the act of Febl dary 6,
the total pension payments remain
about stationary. The Commissioner
OF Pensions estimates that pension OBJ
legations We're increased $6,394,O00 by
the McCumber age pension law. But
this increase was offset by the normal
shrinkage of the roll due to deaths (of
which there were 80, 1853 and to other
causes.
The fact seems to be that expenditure
touched its high water mark some years
ago and that a shrinkage in payments
is now imminent The annual outlay
has been kept above $14O, 600, 600 by the
workings of new legislation, admitting
applicants Ineligible under previous
laws and increasing rates Of payment.
The average.value of pensions in nearly
every class has been raised and the
general average value of all pensions
has been forced up from $133. 40 in 1868
to $l45.60 in 1907. But the pensionable
material is now pretty well exhausted,
and, though continuing to do the fullest
justice to the veteran and his depend
ents, the government will soon see its
outlay on their account curtailed by
many millions

history. In early days printing was
styled the 'black art" and printers
were supposed to be in league with
Satan. But it was in the time of Aldus
Minutius in Venice that the matter took
a serious turn. This was the famous
printer who first published the Greek
and Roman classics. He took into his
employ negro boy who was homeless
on the streets Of Venice. The people
supposed the boy was an imp from
Satan and that he assisted in printing.

We understand that the larger cream
concerns of the city have inaugurated
a movement whereby they expect to
kill off, or at least badly injure, small
local creameries. Their plan seems to
be to offer larger prices for cream than
the local creameries can afford to pay.
but ever remember that after the small
concern is closed up, that they can have
the produce at whatsoever price the
trust may fix upon. We hope that the
farmers will not bite the golden hook,
but will continue to patronize their
home creameries, those little institu-
tons which have brought so many
yellow chunks of prosperity to our state.

WILL PLAY NEWBERG
Dallas basketball Team and Pacific
College 10 Meet ON Home
Floor Tonight.
woN Losr FRR cKNTAoR

1t is now believed by those who
have made study OF the basketball
situation that the race for the league
championship will Tic between Dallas
College and the Multnomah club
team. The defeat of the sturdy Will
lamette aggregation BY the All-Stars
in Portland last Friday evening put
an entirely different phase on the
situation, and while it is still possible
for Willamette to win out, it is not
thought by the knowing ones that she
will be able to do so. All interest is
now centered In the game to be played
by Dallas and Multnomah on the
Dallas floor in the near future, as it
is believed that the outcome Of this
game will settle the 1907 champion
ship.
The Dallas team will play their
seventh game Of the league series In
the gymnasium tonight, when they
will meet the Pacific College team
from Newberg. The Quaker lads
have been defeated several times this
year, but it cannot be said that they
have a weak team. Their defeats
seem to have been more due to run
OF hard luck than to their poor
playing.
Newberg's guards and center are
counted among the strongest In the
state, and the team plays about the
same style Of ball that is put up by
the Dallas boys. This will make to-
nights game doubly interesting from
a spectators viewpoint, and large
attendance is assured. While the
home team is confident OF winning.
they will have to play ball to defeat
the visitors.
The game will be called promptly
at 8 80. Admission, 26 cents reserved
seats, S5 cents. Seats on sale at Belt
& Cherrington's drug store.

WRECK ON WEST SIDE
Entire Train Leaves Track and Rolls
Over On Side, near Mccoy
Friday.

One of the worst wrecks that has
ever occurred on the Portland Corval-
lis division Of the West Side system OF
the s. p, took place last Friday at II
a. M, between Amity and Mccoy on
Theodore Jeffries' farm. The track
yes IN poor condition. the road-bed
soft and ties rotten, allowing the rails
to spread, dumping three coaches
with their passengers down an en-
bankment of four feet into the mud
and water. The mail and baggage
car also went into the ditch, and the
mail was badly damaged, being
water soaked. The mail clerk ID. M.
Burrell, had his thumb cut and
knocked out Of place; also one Of his
legs injured. w. L. Gardner who
arrived on the scene shortly after it
happened, brought Mr.. Burrell to
Amity where DR.. Mathis dressed his
wounds, No one was killed but sew
eral persons were badly hurt. Albert
Baxter, wife and wife's mother, who
live this side Of Dallas on Salt Creek,
were on the train and both the women
we're injured, but how badly We did
not learn. DR.. Mathis was called to
attend them. How the passengers es-
capped death is a miracle for every car
went over and more than a hundred
feet Of track was torn up.-Amity En-
