BOOSTING
FOR CLUSTER
LIGHTING
COMPANY WANTS TO SHED IT'S
KINDLY LIGHT IN CLUSTERS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEAUTI-
FLYING THE CITY-MANY BOOST
FOR 1T.

"Cluster lights for Salem by State
Fair time" is the slogan of the board
of trade committee appointed by
Chairman Max o. Buren,. The men,
bers of the same appeared on the
streets this morning, and began their
work. With the endorsement of the
board Of trade, of the state officials,
the city council which ordered 20 of
the clsuter posts to be placed around
the city property on Wilson avenue
at its session last night, the COM
mittee proceeded to make reasona-
bly, good headway with their project.
To all of the pessimistic statements
that there was not time to put the
posts in by the opening day of the
State Fair, the local electric light
company simply said: Leave 1t to
us. If there are enough signers, the
posts will be in in ample time for
giving the city plenty of illumination
for the greatest week of the year."
The full committee named for the
work of soliciting is given below,
and a very enthusiastic bunch of
citizens 1t is proving to be. Already
c. X. Spaulding, John McNary, r. ].
Hendricks, and a dozen others have
signed up and there is every assur-
ance that the day will witness some
thing like so of the local property
owners who have Joined in the pro-
ject of making the city the best light
ed for its size upon the Pacific Coast.
at is strange fact" said Chas.
f. Grille, of Portland, who was in
the city yesterday with the officials
of the P. R. L. & P. Co., that Salem
is the only city in the state, except
Astoria, of 5000 population or over,
that has not cluster lights on its
principal down town streets. 1t
strikes me that Salem owes the state
something better than darkness at
night The state is expending over
$1,OOO,O0O a year in the maintenance
of it's institutions here. 1t is willing
to pay for its share of illumination,
and has so intimated through Ben
Olcott, its secretary of state. Ger
tainly Salem should come to the
front now. The people throughout
the state have an abiding interest in
their state capitol. They wish to be
proud of its location and proud of
its beauty that they may show It off
to their eastern friends. II every
citizen outside of Salem holds to
this view why should not the town
come across with its share towards
beautifying It. The cluster light
proposition is not only a good busl-
ness one but it is the one thing
which adds beauty and art to the set
ting Of the city.
Take Oregon for instance, Ash
land has 120 cluster lights, Grants
Pass has 80. Marshfield IS, Roseburg

Think Murderers Drowned.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1RE.l

Missouri Valley, Iowa, Aug. 22.-
The belief is strong here today that
the two murderers of Marshal Butch
er of this town, for whom 500 farm
ers have been searching the river
bottoms for five days, were drowned
in the Missouri river Saturday night.
1t is believed the men deliberately
committed suicide rather than sub
nit to arrest and almost certain
lynching.

Completely Destroyed.

Racing back to the scene of the
confagration the flremen found
themselves confronted with the same
condition as in the case of the fac
tory which went to its doom during
the night. The building had passed
the point where it could be saved
and the most that could be done was
to hold the confagratlon in check
and to prevent 1t from spreading,
and this they did. The building as
well as all the furniture contained in
1t were completely destroyed. The
former was insured for $1,000 and
the latter for 5000.
The McDavett home was undoubt-
edly ignited by sparks which had im-
bedded themselves in the roof of the
building and which had escaped the
observation of the fremen who made
an examination of every building in
the vicinity before leaving the scene.

HELP SOME
MAYOR LACHMUND SHOWS THE
P. R. L. & P. co. HOW TO HELP
SOME IN IT'S DESIRE TO BEAU.
TIFY THE CITY.

Pronouncing the conduct of Coun-
Gilman Lafky, in voting against the
third reading of an ordinance pro-
viding for the installation of cluster
lights on the property of the city
Frivolous" Mayor Lachmund, after
rapping him good and hard for his
stubborn attitude on the question,
further showed his displeasure to-
wards him by referring the ordinance
to the sewer committee, instead of
the ordinance committee, to which it
properly belonged, and of which Laf-
ky is the chairman.
Resolution Is Passed.
The question came up in the first
instance when resolution was pre-
sented calling for the installation by
the city of eight cluster light posts
on the north side of Court street be-
tween Cottage and Summer and
eight on the north side of State
street between the same streets, and
four posts to be distributed on the
remainder of the city's propery,
where the council may see fit.
Local Manager Page spoke briefly
in favor of the resolution. saying
that the company would agree to
have the posts installed by the open
ing day of the fair, and that it was
willing to wait for the money until
an appropriation could be made by
the council. The Board of Trade was
cooperating in the movement, he
said, and so was the state, and he
extolled the beauties of cluster
lights, and asserted that they would
mean much to the city of Salem.
Several councilmen spoke in ia
vor of the resolution, and just before
It was ready to be put to a vote May
or Lachmund caught a glimpse of
General Manager Hid sitting among
the spectators, and called upon him
for a talk.
Hid Gives Talk.
To start him off right the mayor
stated that, while the company was
beautifying the city, he would sug-
gest that it remove its forest of poles
around Wilson avenue, as it would
add much to the beauty of the clus-
ter lights when installed.
General Manager Hid dwelt in
detail upon the immense work be-
ing done by the Portland Railway.
Light & Power company; told of how
it had spent far more-twice as
much-in improving its lines here
as it had taken in since it was in
stalled, and asserted that its slo-
gan was still improvement" and
that besides improving the car lines,
that the company desired to light the
city. He was profuse in his bou-
quets-in every sentence one was
contained for the city and its pro-
gressive city administration.

Threatens other Buildings.

With such ferioclty did the fire
rage that for awhile the lumber
yard of the Falls City Lumber COM
pany was threatened and the only
thing which saved It was six box
cars standing between It and the
burning buildings. The flremen
brought their hose to bear on the
cars but their efforts were unavall-
ing and they were completely de-
stroyed. A slight wind was blowing
and 1t carried sparks to adjoining
residences and the firemen directed
their energies towards preventing
them from becoming lgnited, and
they believed with success, but that
belief was dispelled when about 3
o'clock this morning an alarm was
spent in saying that the McDevitt
home was on fire.

After completely reducing to ashes
last night the buildings of the Per-
fection Sewing Cabinet on Four
teenth street, fire believed to be of
incendiary origin, broke out afresh
this morning after the flremen had
abandoned the scene of the confla-
grafton and also destroyed the home
of Mrs. e. McDavitt.
The first fire was observed in the
storage building just east of the fac
tory and simultaneously with its dis
covery there was heard an explosion
A few minutes later an explosion
was heard the main building and in
an instant 1t was enveloped in flames
flames which spread so rapidly
that the fire men were powerless to
combat them, and devoted all of their
time to prevent the fire from spread
ing to other buildings.

Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1911-01-12
WOULD CHANGE THE RULES
North Dakota SoIons Object to Present
Regulations.

Adjustment of the holding appro-
priation bills in the committees, using
them as a club over members specially
interested, is the object Of proposed
changes in the rules of the legislative
assembly, considered by the rules COM
mittee of both houses. The proposed
rule would compel a committee to re
port a bill back to the house or SEN
ate within a certain number of days,
and failure to do SO within a specified
time would operate to bring the bill
out without recommendations.
Progressive Republicans high in the
councils of that faction declare one of
the principal efforts during the session
In the matter of appropriations would
be to get them out early, thus follow
ing out the recommendation of Gov.
ernOr John Burke that such steps be
taken to prevent a repetition of the
situation two years ago, when the IN.
tire grist of bills was passed the last
night.
M~innesota's policy in the matter of
printing bills that are introduced is
likely to be Investigated thoroughly by
the house committee on rules before
it takes any definite action on the
question of doing away with the prac.
lice of printing all bills introduced.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1911-01-12
in NORTH DAKOTA
News Of the Week From vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
WORK IS WELL MAPPED OUT
Programme of North Dakota LegisIa
ture Fixed Up by the Repub-
lican Members.

1t is very seldom that a programme
of legislation has been so we'll mapped
out in advance as the one that con
fronted the legislature last week. Tc
redeem the pledge of the Republican
party will be to eliminate many of the
points on which the two factions have
differed in the past.
The appropriation bills that will be
introduced will carry an amount far in
excess to that that can be appropriate
ed and the two committees will conse.
quently have a hard task.
Educational institutions are par.
ticularly interested in the fate of the
board of control question. Both old
parties, pledged the adoption of such
a measure in their platform, but with
the academic heads of the state op.
posed to the plan, there is likely to be
a spirited contest before the matter is
disposed of. Other educational fea.
lures of interest are the proposed in.
crease in the appropriation for high
schools and the establishment of rural
school aid.
Amendments to the primary election
law will take up much time. Several
plans will be proposed and it is ex
pected the White bill of four and two
years ago, the.Cashel bill of two years
ago, and the Skulason primary of two
years ago, will be found among those
present"
Oregon's second choice plan, favored
by some, will be proposed, while the
plan of the state of Michigan in en-.
forcing a certain percentage of the
party vote out before a nomination can
be made, will be tried also. The 80
per cent clause of the present law is
unconstitutional and the Michigan
plan of requiring a declaration Of par.
ty principles a certain stated period
before the day of election, and the vot-
ing of the primary ballot OF that party,
may be substituted. This plan will
very likely have opposition from the
Democratic members of the assembly.
Legislative appointments must be
given attention. The initiative, refer
endum and recall, affecting both con-
Stitqtional and statutory measures,
will come up.
