Wonderful Automatic Gas Cutoff Be-
Ing [lSpI1yed In Salem

VIM. Davidson, representing the
Campbell automatic safety gas cut
off, is in the city, and will exploit
the wonderful invention of his COM
pany for several weeks. As is well
known, there is considerable danger
in the use of gas, such as the light be
ing blown out accidentally or other
wise, and the object of this inven-
tion is to have the gas absolutely
turned off as soon as the flame Is
extinguished. The invention is that
OF Victor e. Campbell, formerly of
Goldendale, Washington, and is by
many considered to be one of the
greatest inventions of the age.
While Mr.. Campbell has always
been of an inventive turn of mind, 1t
was not until the asphyxation of
Miss Ellda Wilbur, at San Francisco,
California, February 16, 1898, that
Mr.. Campbell decided to take up the
work of solving the problem of a
safety gas burner, and, while Miss
Wilbur was but an acquaintance Of
the family. the anxiety of her friends
and her lingering illness and uncon-
sciousness for two years follow Ing
the accident before her death, only
added inspiration to the work under
taken by Mr.. Campbell. and he re-
solved never to give up the work un-
I'll his efforts had proven successful
and an absolute safe gas burner had
been an accomplished fact.
During fair week this wonderful
invention will be displayed at the
pavilion, and demonstrations will
also be made at the A. L. Fraser
plumbing establishment adjoining
the Board Of Trade rooms. After !
the fair is over demonstrations will /
be continued at the latter place, and 1
everyone interested is invited to In
spect the invention.

THE TEMPLE
OF HEAVEN
IN PEkING


There are many unique and inter
estIng sights in the city of Picking
perhaps more than in any other Ash
attic city. says the Rev. G.. w. Shep-
pard, writing In the Culver.
Its position as the metropolis of
a great empire, its ancient and mod
ern history, its magnificent wall, its
imposing gates with their lofty
towers are among the. things which
gave It title TO fame and fascination
to the traveller. But Peking has no
more attractive feature than the
temples wherein the religions of the
Chinese people are seen perhaps In
their best and purest forms.
The most important of these tenn
ples-indeed, the most important re-
ligious edifice in the empire-is the
temple of Heaven, where the empet-
or, "the Son of Heaven" worshlps
and secrlflces in person to the Power
above. whose vlce-regent he claims
to be.

She Described Her.

A few nights ago a Denver young
man, who lives downtown, went out
TO Sixteenth avenue to call on a girl.
He had seen the girl but once before.
The call was arranged by a mutual
acquaintance. When he reached the
neighborhood he discovered that he
had forgotten her number. He knew
about where she lived, however, and
went To a house near Sixteenth and
Downing to make some inquiries.
After he had rung the bell he found
to his dismay that he could not re-
member her name. A lady came to
the door The young man took n
long chance.
Would you kindly tell who lives
in that house across the street," he
asked,
She told him. II was not the
name. He asked about another
house and failed again. Then he
smiled and explained,
81 am to call on a girl out this
way" he said. "and | have forgotten
both her house number and her
name, She's a medium-sized girl"
The woman was amused. "How
does she look?" she asked.
"She has blonde hair"
"oh. has she blondined hair and
does she wear a brown dress. a sailor
hat with a light blue band and q
brown sidecomb on one side and one
slightly darker on the other?"

The De Pue Zinc Plant.

Princeton ull.) Republican.
The indications are that the public
vii! not have the opportunity of in
speeding the workings of the zinc plant
and smelter of the New Jersey Zinc
company at De Pue, as they have been
accustomed to do at La Sale for many
years. The high school classes and
many citizens have from time to time
visited the zinc plant at La Sale and
have inspected all its departments. On
Tuesday a party of Princeton people
numbering about rs planned to visit the
zine plant at De Pue. The week before
the management decided to issue a
special permit for the purpose. Friday
the board of directors of the institution
held a meeting and voted to recall the
permit and to instruct the management
to issue no permits to any one. Guards
are placed at the gates and no tres
passers are allowed. One reason for
this action is that the company claims
to have installed many important inn
provements in the way of machinery
fer zinc smelling and they wish to take
all measures possible to prevent any in
formation concerning these devices or
the general plan of their works from
reaching their competitors. The com
panv has some patents to protect, and
SO particular are the officials that no
one is permitted in the works. The
other day a woman wished to so into
the department to speak to her son but
was denied admission. The son was
called into the office for the interview.
The company has laid the foundations
for larger plant at De Pue than the
Matthieson & Hegeler plant at La
Sale. The New Jersey Zine company
owns half dozen plants located in var
ions cities of the United States and is
the biggest producer of zinc and zinc

country. All of its plants are operated

Chandler Sees IL.

Washington Times.
Former Senator William E. Chandler
sees the point that the Times suggested
Immediately after the indianapolis
speech of the president: that La Fol
lette. on the face of the issues as now
outlined by the president, is the logical
man for the succession.
The New Hampshire man is suspected
of having small affection for the presi-
dent, albeit they used to be exceedingly
chummy; but he frankly declares for the
continuation of Roosevelt policies and
names LaFollette as the man who comes
nearest to representing them. All the
logic of the case sustains this view, as
the Times has more than once suggest
ed.
Senator Chandler is something of a
pioneer himself in this business of cor
poration regulation. He was one of the
first men to be cast out of Office because
of his aptitude on this question. He saw
it coming, and he got on the popular
side of it. The New England railroad
interests fought and retired him from
the senate, and now New England is
wondering, as it studies the capitaliza-
ton of the Mellen merger whether it
is entirely proud of the fact that every
senator it has in congress voted against
the La Toilette proposal looking TO
amendment of the railroad law in such
fashion as would give the government
some control over capitalization!
Chandler was the first public man m
New Eng land who saw the big issue
coming; and he was punished for seeing
it. LaFollette was the maa who made
the whole country see that the issue
was here, and that it was the dominat-
ing issue of the time; and he won, after
years of fighting and encouragement.
There is nothing in the laws that La
Toilette did not demand long before he
could get any support; there is nothing
in the new programme that he did not
offer to congress year ago. Chandler
picks La Toilette as the man who dis
covered the issue, who forced the coun-
try to recognize it, who has proved that
ne can win on it, and whose legislative
| accomplishments in state and national
| fields are now recognized as sane, sound
and practical.
The announcement that the New Eng
land insurgent leadership is looking
toward LaFollette is of the first signifi-
canoe. LaFollette has great following
in the west, but heretofore there has
been no excuse for suspicion that he
had chance in New England Stranger
things have happened good many
times in politics. however. than that
the New England railroad merger might
give New Hampshire's delegation to
the Wisconsin man, and set an example
to other eastern as well as western
constituencies that might have highly
significant results.

public utilities law; and there is no rea-
son for maintaining the commission so
far as control of rates is concerned.
There is no objection to the Demo
Gratis making a little political capital
out of the passenger rate question, or
out of anything else for that matter;
but Republican members do not need to
assist them.
There is good reason, and as much
reason, for the legislature to override
the decisions of the state tax commits
sion as to the amount of taxes the rail-
roads should pay. as there is for it to
reverse or revise the decisions of the
railroad commission as to what are rea-
sonable rates for carrying passengers.
