EDITORIAL NOTES.

1t may be worthy of notice that the business men and profess
sional men who constitute the Board of Trade, the Business
Mems League, the men who put their money on the counter to
advance Salem, the men who give their time gratis as private
citizens to boost the city, the men who are making the Cherry
Fair, the men who are making Salem, are all in favor of public
ownership of water, and on the plans that the city has worked on
for several years. Is their judgment worth anything as to what
is / for the best interest of the city?
Falls City deserves royal support in her enterprise in ceebrat-
ing the Fourth. They have everything that goes to make for a

There is money enough in the city bridge fund to build several
concrete bridges, and if they were built in a businessike way the
people would say amen, and furnish money to build more. Try

Lightning Kills Few

In 1906 lightning killed only 1863
people in this whole country. ones
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chance of death from liver, kidney
or stomach trouble is vastly great
er, but not if Electric Bitters be
used, as Robert Madsen, of West
Burlington, Ia, proved. Four doc
tors gave him up after eight months
of suffering from virulent liver
trouble and yellow jaundice. He
was then completely cured by Elec-
trio Bitters. They're the best
stomach, liver, nerve and kidney
remedy and blood purifier on earth.

Expert Testimony on
Concrete Sewer Pipe

Mr.. ]. P. Sherer Of the Board
of Public Works, Milwaukee,
Wis, says:
In all places where we had
to replace the sewers that were
put in in the early history of
Milwaukee, we found the con-
crete pipe to be intact. For in
stances, only recently we we're
required to take up IL inch
pipe and replace 1t with 20
inch, and for the entire length
that pipe was found to be in
elegant condition very much
harder than when first placed
there. There was no defect or
flaw from one end to the other,
and there was fourteen or if
teen hundred feet on that line
of pipe. Our Engineers Of the
Board of Public Works recon
mended concrete pipe to be the
