SUN SPOTS ARE PUZZLE.
Astronomers Declare Halley's Comet

phauopnaua

Seattl.-"Consderin the fact that
this is year of sun-spot minimum"
said Professor James e. Gould of the
University OF Washington this morn
ing, there have been great many
spots visible, especially during the last
week. Halley's comet could not pos
sibly have had anything to do with
this. These spots will undoubtedly
result in an effect on electrical in
struments.
THE spots are in all probability
due to internal eruptive forces of the
sun. All our data and evidence go to
show that whenever spots appear on
the sun electrical instruments are af-
fected. The delicate ones may be put
out of commission, but 1t Is not prob
able that such instruments as the
telephone and telegraph will be very
much affected"

GRAVEL
FROM RIVER BED

The c. X Spaulding Company in
this city is saving a great expense
in securing gravel and by so doing
it is also rendering good service to
river traffic on the Willamette here.
An endless chain dredger has been
in operation on the point Of the
gravel bar alross from the saw mill
for the past few weeks and many
tons Of clean gravel has been dug
from the bed of the river and trans
ferred to this city.
The Spaulding people have con-
structed the dredge on large scow
which is operated by gasoline en-
gine A small tug Is used to move
the craft about. Three large capac-
lty scows transfer the gravel from
the gravel bar to the Salem side Of
the river. The gravel is being
dumped at the foot of Trade street.
Owing to the dredger raising the
gravel from unclaimed water a dis
tance from any shore, the material
does not cost anything. The steam
ers plying from this city up river
are rendered a valuable service by
the removing Of the gravel.

A KENTUCKY LAWYERS
OPINION OF OREGON

Probably one of the best evidences
of the fact that the publicity cam
paign of the city of Salem and other
cities in Oregon has attracted the at
tenton of the people in the East and
the South to the marvellous re-
sources and opportunities in the
state is found in the many applica
tions received by Arthur Benson, dep
uty clerk of the supreme court, from
the rules and requirements for admis-
attorneys asking for information as to
sion to practice before the state courts
AS a rule the members of the legal
profession are ADVERSE to moving
from one place to another great
deal more-so than any other profess
sional men or business men. This is
due to the fact that it requires years
to build up a reputation and clientage
in the law BUSINESS, and that to leave
it behind when once built up and go
to new fields means a new beginning
means that the work must all be
repeated, and for this reason lawyers
seldom emigrate from one part of
the countryto the other, and the fact
that there is not a day goes by but
that Deputy Clerk Brown receives
from two to three applications for
information from lawyers in the
Eastern and Southern states, is a
high testimonial to the resources and
opportunities offered by the Beaver
/ state.
