Corvallis, Aug. 19.-The opening
of the big booster campaign for west
ern oregon here was held at the
courthouse this afternoon and was
presided over by County Judge Wood
ward, one of the most enterprising
good roads county officials of the
state. He and Commissioner Smith
and Ex-Judge Waters made ad-
dresses, and all gave cordial words
of encouragement to the speakers
from Salem. Hon. B. +. Jones came
out from Yaquina bay taking his
place on the program and making
strong plea for the free locks and
canal at Oregon City as the most Inn
portant Improvement for the ship
pers in the Willamette valley. He
said the way the General Electric
corporation was fencing up the falls
of the Willamette and using every
inch of water in its great power
plants and building more such plants
on the east side of the river, II was
only a question of time when they
would require all the water in the
river to make power and the locks
and canal would be closed to com.
merce. The oregon legislature and
the delegation in congress should
make this the object of their frs.
and continuous attention by leglslq-
tion.

point that the private corporation

The Dollar Mark

The origin Of the dollar mark is
one of the curios of our financial his
tory.
In the early days of the nation
there was utter confusion in the cir
'culating medium. Several OF the col-
Ionies had authorized coins OF different
denominations, and, besides these.
there were English, pence, shillings.
crowns and half crowns. French
coins, both from Europe and Canada /;
Spanish coins of half a dozen denomi-
mathis. especially reals and doubloons
Mexican coins; in Pennsylvania
Dutch and German pieces. and along
the coast Portuguese and even Italian
money was often seen, brought by
seamen.
The United States Mint was estab-
lished in 1871, and the United States
coinage became, of course. the legal
tender. The mixed coinage, however,
was not at once displaced. but con-
tinued in local use, so that II became
necessary for merchants in keeping
accounts to designate that a bill was
to be paid in United States currency,
or. II in miscellaneous coins, these
were received at a discount. So, be-
fore the sum total Of the bills the
merchant was accustomed to write
the letters ~. S." signifying United
Statese money In the hurry Of
writing. the "S' was often written
over the "U': then the connecting
line at the bottom easily dropped on.
and to the present day most people
commemorate the orig
nal practice of making two down
strokes first then adding the IS.
