The Postoffice Department has been
trying to prove that the low rate OF
postage granted to newspapers and
periodicals is responsible for the
heavy deficit each year. But the de-
partment's argument got a hard jolt
the other day when the American
Weekly Publishers Association pro-
duced figures to show that the de-
partment is paying to the railways
for carrying the mails $32,OOO.OOo a
year more than the express companies
would charge for hauling the same
amount of tonnage. There is a big
graft in the postal business, but II
isn't worked by the newspaper pub
fishers.

This will be an interesting week for
the Angora goat breeders OF the
Willamette valley. The annual goat
show takes place at Dallas, Polk
county, the 9th, 10th and 1lth and a
large display of the handsome little
mohair-producers is expected. The
Polk County Mohair Association is
composed of farmers and livestock
breeders who are among the most
energetic and reliable citizens Of the
state, and they are doing grand
work in the upbuilding Of the goat
industry in the Pacific Northwest.
Each year sees greater improvements
in the quality of the goats throughout
this section; in fact, that point has
been reached where it seems an i'm
possibility to go any higher in this
respect. Salem Statesman.

With the opening of the Legislature
only three days off, it looks like Davey
for Speaker and Haines for President
although Beach of Multnomah is
looming up strong as a possible
candidate in the contest for the last
named office. The false rumors cir
culated against Mr.. Davey have
served to strengthen rather than to
weaken him, and his election to the
speakership by neat majority seems
assured.

Although our department OF neigh

cincts in the county remain unrepre-
sented, and we expect to secure weekly
letters from these neighborhoods with
in the next week or two. Just glance
over this list and see how thoroughly
the field is covered: Falls City,
Bridgeport, Lewisville, Buena Vista,
Independence, Rickreall, Eola, Zena,
Spring Valley, Mccoy, Oak Grove,
Perrydale and Butler. We want good
live correspondents from Airlie, Mon

NEW LIGHT CONTRACT.

As there has been considerable in
quiry as to the terms of the new
electric light ordinance, we print Its
chief provisions, in brief, as follows
The ordinance became effective
January 1, 1907, and is to run for a
period of three years. 1t provides
that % acknowledgement arc lamps,
of 1900 candle-power each, are to be
furnished for street lighting, and the
necessary number of incandescent
lamps to light the City Hall and the
two bridges across the LaCreole river
The city will pay Sc per month each'
or a total of $1S2, for the street lights,
and the hall and bridge lights will be
furnished Tree of charge. The total
candle-power of the street lights is
26,4OO.
Under the old contract, the company
furnished l6 arc lamps of 2OOO-candle-
power each for $7.75 per lamp. The
city paid SIS per month for the hall
lights and 81. per month for the
bridge lights, making a total OF
$1SO.5O per month, or $1.50 less than
is now paid. The total candle-power
of the street lights was $4,000.
The distribution Of street lights
under the new contract is, in many
respects, superior to the arrangement
under the old system, for the reason
that a much greater area Of the resi-
dence district is now provided with
lights. True, the new lights are not
nearly so strong as the old, but the
loss in candle.power is in a great
measure compensated for by the widel
distribution Of the lamps,
The OBSERVER believes it was mis-
take to remove the depot light from
the tall pole and place it on shorter
poles at the Washington street cross
ing. This lamp not only lighted the
railroad yards and gave the city
metropolitan appearance, but
lighted the whole residence district o
the south part Of town as we'll. Th'
people living on Clay street were ais
overlooked when the lights at tn
Main and Levens street crossings
were removed. A distance Of fou
blocks on this street is now almost il
total darkness.
But the arrangement of street light
is a problem that will never be salts
factorily solved by this or any othe
council, and there is no use in trying
to please everybody. The citizen VIII
loses his light kicks, and the man VIII
gets it reioices-aud that's all there
to it. All that the council can do is t
seek the greatest good for the creates
number, and when they are actuate
by this motive, there can be n
reasonable objection urged in an
quarter.
