List Arrives at Last.

The first list of the approved in
demnity selections to be received
from the general land Office at
Washington, since July, 1904, put in
an appearance at the state land Of
flee Wednesday. 1t comprises A.
292.96 acres of indemnity lands,
known as clear list No. 10, of the La
Grand series, and covers selections
made between the dates of May ID,
1896, and January Z, 1907, which
were approved by the federal depart
ment June IS, this year. The last
list of approved selections was
Of the Oregon City series. These
selections are made upon state base
lands in forest reserves, mineral
base, etc., and selections are still
pending disposition by the federal
land office aggregating about 10000
acres. When Oswald West and
Clerk G.. G.. Brown, of the state land
board, were in Washinton, ID. c.,
recently they urged upon the de-
partment officials the necessity of
clearing up these lists and 1t is be-
lieved their efforts were responsible
for the early response on the part of
the government officials.

Arc Kisses peyil,s wennons2

Cairo, Ill, July 12.-Are kisses
the devils weapon to lure the souls
of men and women to destruction?
The Rev. l.. d. Bass of this city
answers this question in the afflrma-
tive and alleges that osculation is
the very essence of evil.
There is something remarkably
magnetic and thrilling in the oscula-
tory embrace" asserts the clergy
man, apparently with knowledge OF
his facts. When two pairs of lips
come together It is like two clouds
charged with electricity, the one pos
tive and the other negative. AS In
the case Of the clouds, also, there
is likely to follow a storm-an emo
tional storm that sweeps before It
all propriety and all morality and all
reserve. A cloudburst of excessive
passion and ecstacy-such is n kiss.
Nothing has more of heavens sacred
flame or the soaring fire of hell than
kiss. The best things perverted are
the worst instrumentalities for dead
ly evil.
Il know of nothing as subtle and
as damning as a burning, thrilling
kiss. Great God, deliver us from
the kissing devil"

Woods Hutch Comes to Life.

All the old familiar family rene
dies have, been thrown out of the
kitchen window by DR.. Woods Hutch
inson. formerly secretary of the Ore
gon State Board of Health, whose
attack on Salem's water supply a few
years ago led TO his losing his jub
and gaining a reputation. In an ar
ticle in cone of the recent magazines.
DR.. Hutchinson delivered a body
blow at poultices, the liniments, the
laxatives and about everything else,
except baths. The home treatment
which has been tried for generations
is declared by DR.. Hutchinson TO be
thoroughly bad and unscientific.
While in Portland, the doctor
launched many unusual theories. and

Must Report Accidents

Several OF the railroad companies
doing business in the state have ne
elected to send a monthly accident
report, and to such companies the
state railway commission has writ
ten letters asking that the said re-
ports be sent Immediately. The law
requires that "every railroad shall.
whenever an accident attended with
the loss of human life or limb, or
with serious injuries to persons or
property, occurs within this state up
on its line of road, or upon It's depot
grounds or yards, give immediate no.
tice thereof to the commission, stat
ing the particulars thereof" The
commission requires, in addition TO
the monthly report, a daily report
from the companies. and 1t is prob
able that the neglect TO send In
monthly reports is merely an over
sight on the part of the carriers.

MODEL BOOKKEEPING
FOR MUNICIPALITIES

The question of uniform munich
pal accounting has been one to which
expert attention has been given for
a number of years. Perhaps no
other has received more consldera-
tion and discussion in the various
conferences of the National Munici-
pal league. City bookkeeping with
out an accepted standard can be em-
ployed for purposes of confusion as
well as information, and It Is FREE
quently arranged with the former
end in view. 1t makes comparisons
almost impossible, and II can easily
deceive those who are most interest
ed in knowing the financial condl-
tion of their city. The efforts to
produce uniformity have already ac-
complished something, and they are
likely to accomplish much more, as
the value of their results is demon
started.
The auditors report for the city
of Newton is just issued. II is made
to conform so far as possible with
the standard distribution of munich
pal accounts provided by the United
Census Bureau for all cities in the
country, and Is based upon the
earlier uniform system of the Ma
tional Municipal league. It is pro-
nounced by those who have been
leaders In this movement to be "the
latest and best example of the uni
form classification OF municipal ac-
counts for cities of the size of New
ton"
With this Endorsement It has
special value, being not merely di-
gest of the city's financing for the
fiscal year, but guide and object
lesson to other municipalities de-
sirous of bringing their system of
accounts up to the highest accepted
standard.
The schedules dealing with "Ex-
pense and outlay" and "Non-Reve-
nue. Receipts" follow the census dis
tribution very closely. This bureau
has been compelled to respect the
custom in almost all cities and adapt
its schedules to cash transactions,
rather than to revenue and expense,
(which would include revenue ac-
crued though not collected, and ex-
pense incurred, but not paid"
The total cash transactions OF the
city are in two basic divisions, rev
enue" receipts and payments and
'non-revenue" or capital receipts and
payments, these terms taking the
place of ordinary" and extraordi-
nary. Receipts of the former class
are derived from taxes, licenses,
fees. etc, and of the latter from
loans, bonds, sales of city property
and all sources other than revenue.
The classification Is much clearer
and lends itself to juggling much
less easily than the old methods.
Revenue payments are for the pur-
pose of defraying the expense OF op-
Grating and maintaining the various
departments and functions OF a city
and non-revenue for additions and
improvements. "In a city which Is
correctly administered" says the re-
port, "and whose finances are upon
a cash basis, total collections OF
revenue must always equal or exceed
total expenses payable from reve-
nue."
As fundamental principle this
would prohibit all attempts to pass
loans for the purpose of repairing
the streets or anV other nurnoaa deal-

To Abolish "Baby Farms. :"

Chicago, July IA meeting of
physicians and sociological workers
has been arranged for tomorrow,
when plans will be discussed for the
abolition of the hundreds of baby

sands of babies are killed every year

of them in places advertised for that
purpose in the personal" columns
OF the Chicago daily press. 1t is es-
timated that there are 200 such
"homes" and hospitals" in the city.
Recently thirty OF the more motor

After Klamath Lands.

Klamath Falls, Or, July 12.-The
restoration order issued by the sec
retary of the interior affecting lands
in klamath county will cause a big
rush for homesteadJ on September
2Sth, when the lands will be thrown
open to settlement. There are only
few good claims, that is claims val
liable for timber, in the entire dis
trict to be restored to entry and al
ready so local persons are making
arrangements to rush onto the land
and acquire a prior right through
squatting on the same and making
improvements While the land is
restored to settlement on September
2Sth, It is not open to entry until
80 days later. Consequently the
squatter who Is on the land first af-
ter II is restored 10 settlement stands
the best chance to acquire title to the
same. The number of available
claims Is very limited and the land
seekers are so numerous that many
legal entanglements are sure to fol-
low.

about 1 herds of sheep will have to

rigidly enforced, but In certain sec
tions of the county the disease has
seemed to spread again. A United

county In September. and II the sheep
owners have not a certificate by that
time from Peter Whitaker, county
sheep inspector. certifying that dip
ping has taken place according TO
law, they will be subject to a fine OF
from 500 to $500.

At 1880 o'clock Wednesday
morning the Hose company was
called to the Scheribel & BoWser
furniture store on Wall street to
extinguish a blaze. The h.e was
started from a stove pipe, which
ran direct from the stove through
the second floor without any pro-
lection around the pi pc. The cell
ing and upper floor had good
start when noticed, but willing as
slstance of citizens with buckets
had the Dlaze under control by
the time the Hose company ar
rived. A line of hose was laid
ssand the fire was eXtinquished. 1t
was a lucky thing that the fire
did not start at night, as a good
portion of the business section
might have been wiped out. The
damage was nominal and can be
easily fixed.

any body thinks that it is snap
to move one OF those hose carts
through the snow at swift pace,
they are greatly mistaken. The
hose cart was out Of the house by
two minutes after the alarm was
sounded Wednesday and less than
five minutes stream was turned
on the fire. We readily know that
five minutes is a long time to wait
when fire is in progress but un-
der the circumstances the boys in
the company deserves praise for
quick responding instead Of being
blamed. Those hose carts are
heavy and propelling them through
deep snow is hard work.
