Without Income from Licenses or

as Never Before-Extends Water
System, Enlarges Lighting Plant
and Otherwise Increases Comforts
and Conveniences of People.

That annual report of the city of
Milton for the year 1907 is most en-
couraging to the people of that pro-
gressive little town and it has
strengthened their sentiment in favor
of prohibition.
Without liquor licenses or gam
bling fines or any other of the "for-
hidden" revenues enjoyed by other
towns of that size, Milton has ex-
tended her water system, enlarged
her municipal lighting plant and
otherwise increase the comforts and
convenience of her people and with
in few years her city council es-
Inmates that the income from her
lighting plant, alone. will pay all mu-
nicipal expenses.
This year she has used the reve-
nues from her water system and
lighting plant in making many i'm
provements and the city is now in
excellent condition. During the pres
ent year It is expected that the reve-
nues from this source Will be about
$4,000.
Milton now furnishes the town of
Freewater with city light, receiving
from this source a revenue of $135
per month.

OREGON EDITORS TO MEET.
Press Association to Assemble In
Portland This Week. ~

Editors from every county and
town nearly every town in the state,
are coming to the meeting of the
Oregon Press club, TO be held in
Portland January 16 and II, says a
Portland paper.
For several years the State Press
association has been unsatisfactory
the organization has not been strong
enough to hold the papers together,
and the papers have carried on war
with themselves, lowering their
standards, and causing dissatisfaction
among the subscribers, as well as
cutting down their own income. At
their meetings they have gone in for
junket, instead of for business.
The whole trend Of the country Is
toward combination and organiza-
ton. Every business, except the
newspapers, has some form OF CO.
operation, by which its interest is
protected. With the increased cost
of paper and other supplies. the
newspaper is facing a very critical
time and by the responses that have
been received from all over the state,
1t is evident that they realize this
fact. From Marion county every
editor will be present. One editor
from Harvey county has to travel for
three days by stage and rail to reach
the meeting,
The meetings will be held in the
Knights of Pythias Hall. A very in
interesting and instructive program
has been prepared and excellent
speakers are to be present
The only social event OF the aSso-
citation will be reception by the Of
ficers and their wives. To this the
members of the Portland Press club
and the Woman's Press club, also the
members of the newspaper fraternity
Of Washington, have been invited.

Portland, Jan. 15.-A sensation
was sprung in the trial of John H.
Hall. Franklin P. Mays. e. P. Mays,
w. w. Stiewer, c. b. Zachary, H. H.
Hendricks and others charged with
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment OF public lands, when Heney
announced that the state has decid-
ed to grant Halls request for a sep
arate trial from that OF the other de-
PENDANTS to a certain degree.
Hall will be tried with Edwin p.
Mays, Franklin p Mays and Steiwer
and the remaining defendants were
excused for the time being. and no
announcement was made as to when
they would be tried.
This move on the part of Heney
lends color to the sensational rumor
which gained certain credence to the
effect that the evidence in the Hall
case has been lost and that Heney is
relying upon the confessions of cer-
tain of the defendants in the case to
convict Hail.
Heney refuses to either confirm or
deny this story. T. C. Becker, spec
ial assistant prosecutor for the gov
ernment, reached Portland last night
and took part in this mornings pro-
ceedings.

Salem, Jan. 15.-Governor Cham
berlain today in an interview censur-
ed Judge Hanna OF the Jacksonville
county court, who made such a re-
markable ruling in the Putnam libel
suit case last week and afterward
upon a jury verdict of guilty" fined
the Medford editor $3.50.
Friends of Putnam had wired
Chamberlain and requested him to
remit Putnam's fine. Putnam heard
OF this and today notified Railroad
Commissioner Oswald West that he
would not accept a remission as he
was guilty of no crime and that he
was confident that the higher court
would grant him justice.
Governor Chamberlain then said;
Assuming the facts to be as stated
in the press reports, Mr. Putnam Is
entitled to remission of his fine.
l am of the opinion that the fine
should never have been imposed"
Putnam's alleged offense was that
of criticising the grand jury for its
failure to indict a man who made
assault with an axe upon
Mayor Reddy Of Medford. The grand

Washington, d. c., Jan. 15.-Al-
though the report cannot be con-
firmed 1t is asserted on reliable au-
thority that Secretary Cortelyou has
resigned. The announcement came
Immediately after hfs return from
New York last night. the story is
current here and is generally believ-
ed. 1t is said that Cortelyou will be
given the presidency of the Knicker-
booker Trust company of New York.
The resignment came at the close
of a stormy session with President
Roosevelt, it is said, following a cab
met meeting some time ago when
the secretary of the treasury made
demand upon the president to give
him an equal amount of backing
with Taft as the administration can
didate for the republican nomination
for president.
This. it is said the president re-
fused to do. Cortelyou's tenure Of
office in the cabinet is made impos-
sible. 1t is asserted, since the quarrel
with the president over the alleged
interference of Cortelyou in the Taft
plan of campaign.
Immediately following this break
Cortelyou went home and said he
was sick with the grippe. Since then
he has not been near the depart
ment. When asked as to his rumor-
ed resignation last night he made a
general denial. but would not go into
details or submit to cross-question-
ing. He refused to answer the phone
after 8 o'clock.
It is believed that Cortelyou will
remain in the cabinet until he has
answered the questions the senate
put to him regarding his admins
tration of the treasury during the
panic. This information has been
promised the senate tomorrow noon.
