Besides the public school system,

be mentioned the Willamette univer-

of learning on the coast, whose
graduates have filled and are now

Location and Development.
The city OF Salem sits where flows

calculable horse power and with
waters sufficient TO irrigate a nation.
II Is located on the Southern Pacific
, railroad, 5S miles from Portland and
719 miles from San Francisco. Both
the Willamette river and the South
ern Pacific railway furnish the best
shipping facilities. the one being a
check upon the other as to freight
rates.
Salem is located In the very heart
of the great Willamette valley-the
garden spot of the northwest, and
is the center of the greatest hop

case with ambitious cities. But in
addition 10 this claim. she can point
with pride to what she has already
accomplished in the lin of develop
ing her own powers and bringing out
the resources Of the whole state.
The clty's development has been
healthy and rational and of a steady
and permanent character. Her pre-
eminent position as commercial
center is due TO ths indomitable will
and courage and public spirit OF the
business and professional men and
women, who. by keeping everlastingly
at It, working in conjunction with
the natural advantages, have efrec-
lively demonstrated the truth OF the
statement that great things from
small beginnings rise, and TO the per-
sonal integrity and purity of purpose
of her public officials, who have held
her name untarnished and have
proudly borne her banner unsoiled by
the foulness OF political corruption
that has made so many other cities
undesirable places in which 10 live.
All honor 10 those noble men and
women, and the noble deeds which
they achieved. Many of them have
gone TO their eternal rest, leaving up
on the shoulders of the present gen.

State Convention OF Independent
Association.

Harrisburg Especially The fourth
annual convention of the Pennsyl-
vania State Independent Telephone
Association was held in the city.
There were present 200 representa-
tlves of ninety-eight companies.
The Presidents report contained a
summary of the years work, and the
treasurer, @. e. Wilson, of Philadel-
phia, reported that the treasury Is
In good condition.
Some interesting figures were con-
tained in the report of the secre-
tary, II. e. Bradley, OF Philadelphia.
He said that in the last year the
prosperity OF the independent COM
panies has been general and steady.
In the toll line business there was
an increase of 90 per cent. over that
of the previous year. There are now
100000 independent telephones In
the State, 331 exchanges and 223S
toll stations. Better and more toll
lines are needed. he said, to effect
better returns in the business.
The question of admitting to the
association the companies of Della
ware, New Jersey and Maryland was
brought up. f. A. Demarest, Of
Trenton, and George Wilson, of Phila-
deiphia, spoke for admitting them.
There was some discussion and the
following committee was appointed
by the president to consider the mer-

Wireless Money Lending.

One of the most interesting types
on the American track is the profes-
sional money lender. Money lending
is absolutely forbidden, and SO the
entire transaction must be conducted
sub rosa, but II a person who is "on"
goes broke, and he has some article
of jewelry OF value with him, 1t is
easy for him to realize money on it.
The lender is an irreproachably
dressed person who sits in the grand
stand with the rest of the crowd, and
is known in his true colors only 20
the habitues OF the track. A man
who wants some capital makes an un-
obtrusive sign to him, and twirls a
ring he may be wearing at the time.
Shortly afterward both will proceed
to a restaurant, where, for the benefit
of onlookers, they will greet each
other as ordinary acquaintance. The
exchange is then made over the drink
they order; the loan broker has the
ring and the better his capital. If
the latter cashes In on the next race,
he will return the money and the
agreed upon premium, and will re-
ceive back his ring From "The Peo-
pie and the Ponies" by G. f. Peters,
in The Bohemian.

The Crime of "shaving" MIX.

Taking as a standard the thou
sands of tests that have been made,
both In this country and abroad, 1t is
for the purposes of this argument
more than safe to take three and one
half per cent. as the amount of butter
fat in average New York milk before
1t is tampered with. Which is the
same thing as saying that 100 pounds
OF this milk viii make three and one
half pounds of butter. Now the law
declares that all milk which contains
less than three per cent. of butter fat
is adulterated- This means that any
milk containing three per cent. or a
tride more of butter fat is perfectly
pure milk. And here is where the
dealer makes his little profit. The
average milk that he receives has at
least three and one-half per cent. of
butter fat - a great deal more, In
other words, than is necessary to pass
the legal test. Why not pocket the
difference? Because the law declares
that adulterated milk is not only
milk to which something has been
added, but milk from which some
thing has been taken. But the law
doesn't amount to so very much out
In the country creameries, where In
spectors are few. So some may re-

ELECTRIC SLEEP IN SURGERY.
Professor Leduc Says He Has Discov.
cred Perfect Anaesthesia.


cred a Perfect Anaesthesia.
Stephane Leduc, tthe eminent pro.
fessor of the School OF Medicine at
Nantes, France, has discovered q
method of causing electric sleep,
which, 1t is declared, will replace
chloroform and other anaesthetics in
all surgical operations. The discov.
cry proceeded from study of the eff.
fects of intermittent currents and
from the knowledge that the skull
and brain offer but little resistance
to the current.
For human being a current OF
thirty-five volts is applied intermit.
tently in its full strength for minute
fractions of second. Two electrodes
are applied to the skull in a special
manner, the pointS of application be-
ing first carefully shaved.
Professor Leduc made scores of
experim ,nts on dogs and ON himself.
All wero successful. The application
of the current on the head is not
dangerous, and no i'll effects follow,
even when the experiment lasts for
hours.
The advantages of the electric sleep
are said to be numerous. Anaesthesia
by chloroform, morphine or ether is
disagreeable, always dangerous, and
has often proved fatal, while the
awakening is painful. During the
electric sleep the patient is perfectly
quiet and the awakening occurs IS
soon as the electrodes are withdrawn.
The sensations after the operation
are quite agreeable. The mind ap-
pears to work more clearly and more
rapid, and there is a sense of in
creased physical vigor.
This last circumstance led Pro-
fessor Leduc to use his brain elec-
trisation for cases of nervous exhaus-
tion, and even ordinary fatigue and
moral depression, with wonderful re-
suits.
incidentally the scientist asserts
that the application in certain man
ner of his special current will electro
cute a subject in an absolutely pain
less menner, gentle sleep being fol-
lowed by gradual but certain death.

JUDGE LAYS DOWN LAW.
Sheriff Must Use Up All The Force
In The County.

Bellefonte Especially AT q spec
ial sitting OF court here Judge II. A.
Mcclure. OF Union County, told
Sheriff Henry Kline. of Center Coun-
ty. very plainly what his duties were
under certain circumstances.
When the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company one night last week
brought 500 men here and put down
O branch road through the Nittany
Iron Company's yards but on land
to which the Nittany Valley Railroad
Company claimed title, Superintend-
ent Gardner got out an Injunction
and gave It to the Sheriff to enforce.
The Sheriff merely read the inJunc-
ton, and considered his duty done
Judge Mcclure told him that an
Injunction was document that must
be enforced and 1t was his duty at
the time, when the Pennsylvania
people refused to obey the law, to
deputize force enough to arrest every
man or else throw them all in the
creek, even II he had to call on
every able-bodied man in the county.
Mcclure was brought here by the
Nittany Valley Railroad Company 10
hear argument on why the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company and Nittany
Iron Company had not obeyed the
Injunction and the result was he Is
sued a writ of assistance compelling
the Sheriff to see that the NittaDy
Railroad Company's rights be con-
served. This action will prevent the
Pennsy from using the new track
and puts the case back where 1t
originally was.
