Former Court Stenographer JOIN.
w. Bosche (alias Wheeler) Of Baker
City, committed suicide in Buffalo,
N. Y, recently by cutting the arteries
of his wrist, which resulted in his
bleeding to death. Bosche was we'll
known in Baker City and many at
torneys of this city also knew him
well. He was As years OF age and
lived in Baker City for about is
years. He was known to every one

suicide was due. it is thought.

HRUBY BROTHERS PLEASED.
Large Audience Enjoyed Concert Last
Night-HObsOn Next Attraction.

Those who attended the recital by
the Hruby Bros. quintette last night
are enthusiastic in praise of the en-
tertainment. 1t is declared by many
that the recital furnished the best
entertainment yet given here by the
high school lecture bureau. In ad-
dition to the instrumental playing by
the quintette, the program was
frightened with readings by Miss
Garfield, who is a most talented elo-
cutionist.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hob
son, late OF the U. S. navy and now a
congressman from Alabama, will be
the next attraction in the lecture
course. He will be here April 13
and that he will drew a large house
goes without saying.

Munioipal Plants For Sale.

The city council of Valley City, N.
D., has finally offered for sale the
electric plant. 1t is more than a year
since the citizens voted for the second
time to sell the plant, but the council
apparently did not want to let go.
The city council Of Edmonton, Al
berta, realizes that the municipal
street railway is too heavy burden
and has expressed willingness to
consider q proposition for the purchase
of the system.
Spirit Lake, Ia. recently voted by a
good majority to sell or lease the cleo
trio plant which was presented to 1t a
few years ago because, as the town
clerk writes
"It seemingly cannot be operated
successfully under municipal owner
ship. 1t has never paid and never
will pay"
For the first eight months Of 1907
the earnings were $3,S23 and the oper-
ating expenses were $6,32S. This
means that the street arcs cost at the
rate Of something over $3.50 year,
with no allowance for depreciation or
lost taxes-quite a showing for a
plant that has no interest to pay.

SAVES MANY DOLLARS
Introduction Of New System by
Governor Warner.
Shows by Comparative Table Each
Month the Cost of Supplies at State
Institutions.

Lansing, Mich.-One of the business
reforms of the present administration
which is saving the state hundreds Of
dollars has been the introduction of a
system of comparative reports of the
cost of supplies at the various insti
tutions maintained by the state. The
use of this report marks the intro
duction into the management of the
state institutions of a practice sue
cessfully used by many large, private
corporations. Each month the Ste
wards Of the various state institu-
tons are required to make an item
lied report to the governors office of
the amount purchased and the cost of
meats, fish, poultry, flour, coffee, tea,
sugar, butter, milk, eggs, vegetables
and coal. These reports are received
from the five insane asylums at Kali
amazoo, Pontiac, Traverse City, New
berry and Ionia; from the three pris.
ons at Jackson, Marquette and Ionia;
the industrial schools at Adrian and
Lansing, the state school at Cold
WoeOi, thO oShOOl LII lnC utdl etI
Flint, the two schools for the blind at
Lansing and Saginaw, the home for
the feeble minded at Lapeer and the
soldiers home at Grand Rapids.
Immediately upon receipt of these
reports from the various institutions
they are compiled in the governors
office and a printed comparative state
ment is issued, copies being sent to
the board of trustee, the managing
official and the steward of each insti
tuition. In addition copies are sup
piled the press, thus securing the full
est publicity. BY this table is re-
vealed at a glance the cost of the
various materials covered in the COM
pilation at each institution. Natural
iy the management of every institu-
ton is anxious to make the best pos
sible showing. and there is a constant
effort on all sides to reduce costs for
supplies. The result to the state is
saving of many, many dollars.

Increase of Tax Burden.

Colonel John Van wormer, vice pres
ident of the Lincoln Safe Deposit COM
pany, now in Europe on holiday, has
been studying the question of munich
pal ownership. The colonel, who is a
member of the Civic Federation,
doesn't think public ownership Of pub
lie utilities over here has been an I'M
qualified success.
He finds II has resulted In the burden
Of taxation being enormously increased
and that, while all the smaller officials
are scrupulously honest, the men right
up to the top display human weakness
as much as their brethren in the Unit
ed States. This, he says, also applies
to business men.-London Cable to
New York Herald.

NATIONAL PROSPERITY.

Even the Threat of Public Ownership
Checks the Industrial Growth That
Has Come From Individual Enters
prise.
The prosperity of q nation or even
of a city goes hand in hand with its
progressiveness. Given the latter, the
former follows inevitably in spite Of
occasional setbacks. But without the
progressiveness that depends ultimate
ly upon individual ambition and initia-
tive there can be no permanent pros-
perity, because rival cities and nationS
are ever on the alert TO take advantage
Of any tagging in the race. We have
attained our position as the leading in
dustrial nation OF the world because in
no other country has the individual
been so free. so untrammeled by gov
eminent interference. Averaging con-
ditions in periods of depression and
prosperity, our citizens live under CON-
ditions of comfort that are unknown to
the great masses of the population else
where than in North America.
1t is, however, well within the limits
Of possibility for the United States to
sacrifice its industrial advantages and
10 drop behind in the race of nations.
Public ownership may be counted upon
to accomplish this with almost absolute
certainty, yet there are many who are
so shortsighted as to advocate this for
the sake Of a reduction in prices which,
is relatively small even if all the claims
are made good. AS a matter of fact, It
is rarely that any such claims are made
good, while the loss to community,
whether large or small, by the placing
of q ban upon private enterprise will
be both large and sure, for only a fool
would take the large risks which most
new enterprises demand If he foresaw
that in the event of success the hand
Of communistic Socialism, concealed in
the glove of public ownership. would
descend upon him to rob him of the
just rewards of his enterpyise.
Even the profits or savings which
are expected to result from this throt-
Ting of private enterprise are usually
Elusive. There are not more than half
dozen municipal electric light plants
in the country that dare to place them
selves in direct comparison for prices
and results with plants maintained Dy
private companies, for almost without
exception they carelessly or studiously
eliminate from their reports items OF
cost which must be borne by SUCH
companies and which, if not borne di-
rectly by the municipal plants. must be-
paid for indirectly out Of the pockets
Of the people as whole.
The careful examination of Il consid-
cradle number of the reports of even
the best of these municipal plants will
show that the promises upon which the
people were induced to install theml
have not been fulfilled and that the
community would be better off if it
had allowed the industry to remain I'M
private hands and insisted upon good
service az reasonable prices.

FIRST PRINCIPLES THEN MEN.
Primary Campaign RevoIves About
Certain Popular Questions.

One fact in the present campaign
which the enemies of the present ad-
ministration seem to have wholly lost
sight of is that 1t is, and will be, a
campaign for certain principles and
not campaign Of personalities. War
ner's campaign is conducted on the
theory that the people of Michigan de-
mand certain reforms, that the people
as whole, assured of these reforms,
have but a secondary interest in the
personality of the candidate. The anti
administrationists, however. have to
date conducted their campaign on the
personality OF the governor alone, and
TO date their campaign is admittedly
total failure. So long as they con-
tinue their present policy of ignoring
the principles involved in the contest
and combining themselves to abuse of
Warner their efforts will be worse
than futile. Just as the enemies of
the administration made Warmers
candidacy fora third term inevitable,

THIS YEAR 1T WILL BE THE
MIDWAY.

The worlds fair at Chicago in 1898
named the amusement feature of the
big show the Midway. Since that
time new names have been coined.
The Glade, the Pike, the Wanderlust,
etc. have gone their way. Each year
when the new name has been coined it
has been necessary to educate the
people as to its meaning. The word
Midway is known to everyone as the
amusement row-the place to go for
good time, where something is con.
stantly doing-and that is the name
which will be used this year at the
state fair.
The location of the Midway this
year will be one street south of that
of year ago, being. in direct line
with the street railway depot, COM
mencing just east of the Administra-
ton building. This space was origin.
ally intended for the Midway, but, not
being easy accessible to the center Of
the electrical equipment, the shows
were located further north.

1t should be of interest and salts
faction to the exhibitors of livestock,
and to the public as well. to know
that during the state fair of 1908 most
careful attention will be given to san
itary conditions. Every precaution
will be used to see that the
grounds are kept in the best Of
condition, and all places will be
most thoroughly disinfected. 1t ha;
been decided to use the celebrated dis
infectant "Kreso" for this purpose. In
tn livestock department all stables,
pens, barns, ect., for the exhibition Of
animals will be thoroughly disinfected
before they are occupied, and a con.
slant supervision in this respect will
be carefully given throughout the en-.
tire meeting. This will prevent any
contagious disease among the stock.
IT will also destroy all foul odors,
making 1t both healthful and pleasant
for the visitors in every respect. This
forms a safeguard to the visiting pub
lie and to the exhibitors of livestock
as we'll.

so they continue to make his success
at the primary equally certain.
The people Of Michigan want a
clean cut, thorough going, effective
primary election law, and so they look
to the men who have fought for such
law rather than to the men who
have opposed 1t and are responsible
for its defeat.
The people want adequate and eff
fective control of public utility corpor.
atoms, especially the railroads, and
so they look to that element in the
party which made an aggressive fight
for these things rather than to that
element which was responsible for
their defeat in the legislature.
The people want escape from the
injustice of over capitalization of rail-
roads and similar corporations, and
SO they turn to a candidate for gov
ernor who tried to effect this rather
than to the representative of the men
who defeated 1t.
The people want a square deal in
taxation. They want the biggest cor
poration in the state to pay taxes on
exactly the same basis as the farmer
who has cleared a little farm, or the
laboring man who has bought at great
sacrifice a little home, and so they
will vote for a. public official who used
every ounce of his influence to Sc
cure such a reform rather than to the
men who with specious arguments de-
feated this measure.
1t is not Fred NJ Warner primarily
whom the people want at all. 1t is
the things he is fighting for, and they
want them because they are right, and
fair, and Just.

"Well, what do you think of the

Our enigmatical reply puzzled the
physician for a moment, and then he
demanded, "Do you mean to assert
that some OF this poultry died of dis
ease and was then dressed"
THAT is the exact meaning" we re-
piled.
We hurriedly returned to the booth
where the diseased specimens had
been detected, and there they hung,
Shiny and blue, on the hooks, while
customers crowded around the stall.
The physician quickly turned to the
dealer and, pointing to two fowls in
question, asked, Are those fresh killed

"Sure," said the marketman; lust

starting at Hammondsport. n. Y. He
sailed first to Watkins. twenty six
miles, and then on to within six miles

and a system Of ballast moving that
