Waters Of Lake Are Blessed.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-The annual
ceremony of blessings the waters, dur
ing which, in 1905, the emperor mar
rowly escaped assassination by means
of the saluting cannon, took place at
Tsarkoe- Selo instead of at the waters of
the Neva, The imperial blessing was
bestowed on the waters of the lake in
the palace park amid the salute of guns.
After the ceremony the emperor, accom-
panied by his mother, reviewed the
guard regiments. The empress did not
take part in the celebration, as illness
still confines her indoors.

factory at Coburg, in this county, offers

citizens of this city take stock in COM
pany to be organized TO the amount Of
5000. Mathisen claims to be backed
by ample capital. The matter will at
once be taken up by the Commercial
club and it is probable that some action
will be taken Immediately.

San Francisco, Jan. .lS.-At the state
convention of California fruit growers
today a committee of seven was appoint
ed to go to Washington to protest

tions and speeches it was stated that
the use of sulphur was not deleterious
to the public health and that the dry
ing of fruits by artificial heat and evap-
oration was impracticable in this state.

Filing on Harney Lands.

Burns-The business of the United
States land office in this city for the
quarter ending December 81, 1907,
makes an excellent showing for this
country, the total entries and proofs
for the period covering 81 ,20069 acres
and the payments, fees and commits.
sions amounting to $50, ,944.64. The
month of December brought in $29, 900
of this sum. When it is considered
that the financial pane held business
in suspense good part Of the quarter,
it will be seen that the movement for
settlement of Harney county and con-
tiguous country is determined one
and cannot be stopped.

eph Pope, Canadian secretary of state,
and Madame B. Lemieux, wife of the
Canadian postmaster general, returned

Japanese immigration to Canada, and
the consequent riots at Vancouver and
in other Canadian cities. Lemieux re.
turned on preceding steamer.
The secretary of state, and the post
master general were sent to Japan sew
eral months ago with instructions to
reach some agreement with the Japan
ese government, whereby the immigra.
tion of coolies to Canada would be re.
strcted. What success attended the
mission is very carefully guarded by
Pope. Madame Lemieux had not been
made a confdante by the government
officials. The party will leave here to-
day for Ottawa.

Would Impeach Governor.

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. 21.-While
the legislators are gathered at Victoria
talking of taking the scalp of Lieuten-
ant Governor Dunsmuir on the Japan
ese question, some of the astute politi-
clans of the country are endeavoring to
figure out by just what method it is
proposed to carry out the impeachment.
Particular difficulty is being met
with in finding in Canadian history a
precedent for the official beheading Of
the governor.

Wants New Library.

The Dalles-Renewed interest in the
Carnegie library to be built here has
come since the forwarding of the archi-
tect's plan to Andrew Carnegie's secre-
tary for approval. The edifice will be
erected in the city park and will cost
10000. The city council has voted to
meet the maintenance expenses and
appropriate $1,000 annually. In fact
this was necessary to meet the condi-
tions as presented by the steel magnate

Corporations Are Dissolved.

Salem-Governor Chamberlain has
issued a proclamation dissolving 300
corporations which have failed to pay

the license fee. These concerns can Sc
cure restoration of their corporate pow
ers by paying up delinquencies within
80 days. The complete list will be
published in few days.

Lebonon Mills Reopen

Ablany-After being closed for three
weeks, the Lebanon paper mill has re-
sumed work and so men temporarily y
idle are again in employment. The re-
cent food piled so many logs in the
Santiam canal that the mill could not
get supply of fuel wood for the regu-
lar consumption Of 80 cords daily.
Though this was the cause of the shut
down, some feared it might be due to
the financial stringency, but the
prompt resumption of work has re-
stored confidence.

has brought so much satisfaction to the
people of Oregon City as the announce
ment that new paper mill is to be
constructed at Oregon City on the East

basin. with the installation of two ma
chimes of the largest capacity at the
outset. Not less than 800 men will be

that from 400 to 600 people will be
added to the population of Oregon City
within year, and that there will be q
corresponding increase in the industry
and business OF the town.

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

Consider the contrast between two quite similar and
prosperous cities of the great middle west.
Omaha, Neb., is city of 100000 people. With
South Omaha it has population of about 100000. For
years it has been gouged by water company. 1t has
been putting up with poor servce has drunk hundred
million germs of all classcatons that have been gam
boiling in the murky bosom of the Missouri river; and it
has stood for exobtan prices 1t has stood for nterfer
ence in municipal politics and almost every other conceiv
able grievance
Sioux City, Ia. is booming city of 50000 100 miles
north of Omaha. Sioux City widely scattered and billy
Its water system installed great expense The city

plant is governed by board of three trustees appointed
by the mayor and approved by the city council Sufficient
salary offered to make the place attractive to able
In spite Of the fact that three times many people
served by the Omaha plant the Omaha rate is
age twice great that in Sioux City, and in certain
they restricted in the amount they may
Omaha water from the Missouri river
Sioux Ctys water from the finest system of deep
wells in the west sunk at great expense by the city,
But that is not all, by any means.
Omaha must pay its private corporation for all water
used in flushing the streets and of fire, while in
Sioux City, this costs the city absolutely nothing and
there restrictions placed upon the amount used.
! Last, but no least
Sioux City's municipal water plant nets the city
average profit of $4,000 per year. which goes toward the
reduction of taxes in other directions
If the residents of Omaha got their water cheaply
Sioux City, they should pay about onehalf much
instead Of twice much for it, because the Omaha plant
serves three times many people as the Sioux City plant
and its mains practically the Omaha
people would not be restricted in quantity would they
get Missouri river water.
This all goes to show that the public get relief
from excessive tribute to public service corporations by
owning these Yourself
The argument commonly used that these institutions
not be properly operated by municipality is dis
proved because Sioux City is operating her water plant
at profit of $4,000 year. and supplies better and cheaper
water than her sister city
