Why Not Use Ele1tri Lights?

Stop scratching matches on , our wall.
Those streaky match scratches look
mighty bad on any wall. But as long as
you continue to use gas or oil you've got
to use matches.
The "matchless light" is the electric
light,--a simple twist of the wrist does it.
We are improving and perfecting our
lighting service in this city and can give
better service for less money than ever
in the history of the city.
The cost of wiring has been reduced
until it is within reach of all.
If you would like to know more about
it, call on us in our new office opposite
the o. J. Blackledge furniture store or
phone us, Ind. Phone 4e9.

Every citizen of Oregon should
get busy and advise their friends
and acquaintances in oiher
states that there are only tou,
weeks left in which to get ad-
vantage of the colonist rates Ia
Oregon points. These tickets
will be sold up to and including
April goth; there is lots of time to
get in good work. All the com
mercial bodies of the state should
get busy with all the schools, tor
while the home makers are pour
ing into the state their mum bels
can be materially Increased by
proper effort.
To know Oregon better and
particularly the community in
which you live has become cpl
demic all over the state. Chief
Gritzmacher, of the Portland
police, has opened a school of in
formation tor all of his officers,
and they are familiarizing them
selves not only with every detail
of the city but with important
matters relative to the state.
Manager Ell Lyons, of the
Northern Pacific Terminal Com
pany, in charge of all the EN-
ployes of the union depot, has
opened a similar school of infor-
nation, and will test his men
every two weeks as to their eff
cheney.
John H. White, o. New Or
leans, Louisiana, one of Amer
ica's very best publicity men,
has come to make his home in
Oregon, having accepted posi-
ton in Astoria.
The Oregon Development
League is nearer up with its

time in four months. During
last week, however, the names of
more than 600 inquirers about
Oregon were forwarded to the 54

state body. Two thousand Ger
mans who have inquired about
Oregon received a special immi-
grafton number of the Deutch
Zeitung during last week. There
is no class of people more well

NEPHEW FILES CAVEAT.
Will of the Late Jose Ignacio Rodri-
guez Attacked.

caveat protesting against the admission
of a paper writing dated February 1G 1904
and offered as the last will of Jose Ignacio
Rodriguez, late librarian of the bureau of
American republics. has been filed in the
Probate Court by Attorney George H. CAL
vert, jr., of this city and Attorney Thomas
Mackenzie of the Baltimore bar, as counsel
for DIR. Edmund \. Munoz of Baltimore, a
nephew of the deceased.
The alleged will names the widow of the
testator, Mrs. Mary A. Rodriguez as sole
beneficiary.
DR. Munoz says he is nephew of the de-
ceased and his only heir-at-law and claims
that Rodriguez at the time of his death was
the owner of premises 81 Defrees street, be-
sides having personal property, stocks and
bonds and other articles of value. Munoz
further alleges that paper dated February
/, 1907, purporting to be the will of the de-
ceased, is not the last will and testament
of Rodriguez, because the latter then was
not of sound mind and had been unduly in
fuenced by persons whose names are not
mentioned.
y caveat was filed in the Probate Court
today by Emma Scott and Mary Arendes,
sisters of Charles w. Scott, deceased. pro-
testing the validity of a paper writing,
alleged to be the will of deceased, filed
the 18th ultimo. The petition sets forth
that the deceased died, leaving about
$4,000 in money and owning several
houses in addition to a valua BILE business
at 631 Pennsylvania avenue southeast
The next OF kin, it is stated. are his broth
and sisters. 1t is further declared
that the WILL which bears date of Febru-
airy s, two days before the death of de-
ceased, was procured by undue influence
and that the deceased was not mentally
capable of executing valid will at the
time. 1t is said that the value of the
estate is about fifty thousand dollars. At

THE TIL EAT E R.
Belasco.

DeWolf Hopper capered in mastodonic
joyousness at the Belasco Theater last
night. Mr.. Hopper's style Of humor Is
characteristic and permanent. Its quality
is well known in advance and there is no
excuse for any auditors disappointment. If
the auditor does not happen to like 1t, he
has had many seasons in which to find 1t
out, and, judging by the gleeful and multi
tudinous assemblage last night, there will
always be some one quite willing to take
the chair he leaves vacant.
"Happyland" has not changed since Its
previous performance here. Its scenery Is
as elaborate and beautiful the costumes as
smart in their classic abbreviation and the
as numerous and as Industrious as
before. Miss Marguerite Clarke is demurely
bewitching in the principal feminine role
and William Danforth uncompromisingly
grotesque in the part which shares much
attention with the stellar role Mr.. Hopper
delivered the curtain speech which has sup
planted Casey at the Bat as a fixture In
his repertory with the usual success. The
audience was highly amused at this as at
other portions of the entertainment, which
has many graceful and artistic qualities to
serve as a background for Mr.. Hopper's
frank, spontaneous buffoonery. Happy
land" does not require elaborate discussion.
1t has been popularity Endorsed as a good
show, and the welcome extended last night
was convincing evidence Of the wisdom of
its existence into a second sea-
son.

Bow Fined Fifty Dollars.

"The boy is victim of the cigarette
habit and 1 believe it has undermined his
mental faculties" the mother of Woody J.
Burlasque said when the boy was arraigned
before Judge Mullowny in the Police
Court upon an information alleging the lar
ceny of thirty pounds of cheese from the
establishment of Bruce & Jordan, near the
Center market The mother also told the
court that If her boy was allowed to go
she would have him sent to his uncle In
Virginia, where, thirty miles from any city,
she believed he would be safe from wrong
doing. AS the mother concluded Judge Null
lowry looked toward Assistant United
States Attorney Ralph Given, and the pros
ecutor was not slow in saying:
II believe that this boy is a menace to
society and something should be done to
correct the error of his ways" Mr.. Given
also told the court that the boy had recent
ly been paroled from the reform school,
and that he had apparently shown no dis
position to reform since getting out The
boy listened to the remarks but was SEEM
ingly Indifferent. He was placed under ar
rest Monday afternoon by Precinct Detect
i've Vermillion of the sixth precinct station.
Judge Mullowny imposed fine of $50, with
a jail sentence of four months in default Of
payment.
