Wood-Ray Stock Com
 pany Making Good.

The Wood-Ray Stock Compa- ny, who are playing at the Jack son this week, are certainly mak- ing good, as is evidenced by the large crowds attending every night. They opened Monday night with a great Southern play, "The Pride of Virginia, :" and were met by one of the larg- est crowds ever attending the Jackson. This seemed to give them the proper enthusiasm and they certainly made good. We believe them to be the best set of actors who have ever appear ed here. One of the special feat ures is their orchestra, and in this connection we wish to con- pliment them on the excellent music furnished by them each night. Every night up-to-date specialties have been introduced between the acts and there was not minute in which there was not something doing. They will play the rest of the week and on SatYday afternoon will put on a special matinee for the benefit of the children who have been attending school and could not attend the other attractions. To those who have not attended the former attractions we wish to say that if you want to enjoy a good laugh and to see something that will drive away dull cares you should certainly attend the remaining night of this week.

The Female House Fly.
professor F. L. Washburn in Popular
Science MonthlyC

"A female house fly which has hi
bernated in a dwelling house. or else
where, may produce in the spring at
the lowest estimate 120 eggs. Assum-
ing that one-half of these hatch as
females, and allowing that the breed
ing goes on without check for four
months, we have as the descendants of
single hibernating individual 214,-
557 ,S44,320,00 $1,000, 100000 flies. Now
a house fly measures exactly one
fourth of an inch in length; the dis
tance around the earth at the equator
is said to be 24,S00 miles. 1t would
take, therefore, 3,6SS,312,OOO flies
placed end to end to go around the
world once Using this number as a
denominator and the number of flies
produced in four months from one
mother as a numerator, we find she
will give rise, in the coruse of sum-
mer, to enough flies to encircle the
globe at the equator 5000 times, and
have plenty of progeny to spare.'
This is decidedly interesting as far
as it goes and must be the truth, see
ing it was written by a professor and
published in a scientific paper. The
only trouble is it does not go far
enough Let us see: The average fly
is one-siXth of an inch sidewise meas
urement. Now taking the figures
above as correct. these flies would, if
they went 5000 times around the earth
or 5000 times 24,OOO, make band of
flies $4,000 miles long and 70 feet
wide. Seventy-five flies would have
a progeny that would cover mile,
and a million flies, less by several
million than there are now in Salem,
would blanket the earth an inch deep
with them. A hundred million, ladies
of course. and that is only sample
of what is in the state, would bury
the whole world under hundreds of
feet of flies How hopeless, against
this army of figures to raise the wire
swat How foolish to try to kill them,
when one good healthy lady fly can
populate the world with her kind in
four months

OTIS is SORE
BECAUSE He
is ARRESTED
WOULD.BE DICTATOR OF LOS An
GELES SQUEALS LIKE 4 STUCK
PIG WHEN HIS OWN METHODS
ARE APPLIED TO HIM.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. 9l.-Phari-
saical, snuffling, canting, hypocritical.
snarling and envious E. Tobias Earl,
publisher of the Tribune, is respon-
sible for the charges brought by City
Prosecutor Eddy TO the effect that the
Times, my paper, is an obscene pub
lication"
This was the statement today OF
General Harrison Gray Otis, who, with
his managing editor and telegraph ed
itor, will be given preliminary hear
ing at 2 o'clock this afternoon for
publishing alleged obscene literature
in connection with accounts in the
Times of the Haines' divorce suit and
the Beattie murder. trial.
General Otis was angry and made
no attempt to conceal it, BAH he
snapped. What do they know about
newspaper? The contract which a
newspaper makes with its reader is
to give him the news. Not merely
such news as is agreeable-but all
the news all the time That such
news should be couched in proper
language, goes without saying. But
it should not be suppressed because
it's it's publication might offend the
manufactured taste Of dilettante
readers.
THE fact that Manuel lost the
crown of Portugal because of liason
with dancer ought to no more be
cut out of the cable dispatches than
the orgies of Nero should be excluded
from the history of the Roman EN-
pire. The particulars of revolving
murder should no more be withheld
from a daily newspaper than the story
of the crucifixion of the Savior should
be eliminated from the New Testa,
ment.
Considered on ethical grounds
alone" Otis concluded, sit is the ex.
perience of mankind that publicity
is a deterrent of crime rather than ar
incentive to it's perpetration. The
lesson taught by publicity is that the
way of the transgressor is hard; that
detection is always imminent, ant
that punishment follows preparation.

CLASSIFYING
ENTRIES FOR
STATE FAIR

State Fair Grounds, Salem. Or,
Aug. SIC. w. Booth, nephew of
President ]. H. Booth, of the Oregon
state fair, and Ray L. Smith have
been working day and night to clas-
sify the entries to the various stock
exhibits for the fair, which opens
September IL, and continues one
week. So far, they have taken a
census Of the general entries and
have totaled 1910 entries In compe-
ton for the various premium lists.
According to the first count there
were 33S head Of cattle, ESQ head of
hogs and 275 head Of sheep entered
in the prize lists. These entries
come from oregon, Washington, Cal
ifornia. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho
and British Columbia. These entries
will compete for $4,000 in cash pre-
miums, aside from the special cups
and banners awarded by transporta-
ton companies and privat elndivid-
uals.
1t will be impossible to publish a
list of the complete entries In each of
the events for about a week, as it
will take that long to classify them
for the entry blanks. There has been
no attempt as yet to classify the
poultry entries, and they will be left
alone until after the stock entries
are classified and arranged In the
order of the running of the various
events, because the poultry entries
do not close until September 4. So
| far the poultry entries show up
strong.

SALEM MAN
INTERESTED
IN A PATENT
MARION COUNTY SCHOOL TEACH
Err TURNS INVENTOR AND HAS
Made MUCH-NEEDED HOUSE.
HOLD ARTICLE, THAT WILL
BE IN DEMAND.

Well knowing that "it is the little
things that count" H. E. Sweet, a
former school teacher of Marion, ar
rived at the conclusion that it would
contribute very materially to the
peace and harmony of families (as
we'll as nations) and also bring the
millennium within 'hailing distance"
if he could invent a device that
would automatically and quickly
sharpen knives and scissors. Incl
dentally, Mr.. Sweet had in mind the
fact that two comparatively small
but largely used articles, made large
fortunes for the stockholders, as fol-
| lows.
The DeLong hook and eye re-
turned $4,000 on an investment of
500.
The Welsbach gas mantle returned
/ $4,000 on an investment of S1O0.
1 So, in due time, Mr.. Sweet accom-
( plished the transition from "pedagog
to patentee, and the result is en-
bodied in a combination automatic
scissors and knife grinder and an au-
tomato knife sharpener.
The knife sharpener is an article
/ of necessity in every household,
meat market restaurant and hotel
in the world, and can be sold at a
price that will insure a phenomenal
SALE
The combined scissors and knife
grinder will Instantly appeal to all
BARRIERS, dressmakers and tailors, as
well as thousands of housewives.

of the automatic scissors grinder will

Salem, will attest.

NOT ENOUGH DIRT
TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND

The dirt question on Asylum aven-
ue bobbed up again this morning
when Councilman Lafky asserted that
the contractor on this street, in or
der to make all the necessary fills,
would have to go elsewhere than on
the street for dirt.
According to Mr.. Lafky, there
never was more than about enough
dirt to begin with to make the fills
in the street. Some of 1t seems to
have been sold by the contractor
and some given to the state to make
fills on the property which 1t is i'm
proving. AS a result, there is q
shortage for all the fills on Asylum
avenues, and dirt must be procured
from some other source.

THE BLACK ROCK FIRE
NOW UNDER CONTROL

The fire which for the last few
days has been burning ON the cut
over lands of the Spaulding Lumber
company, about five miles from Black
Rock, and whicS threatened for
while one of the finest tracts of tim
ber owned by the company. is now
under control.
The company still maintains a
large fire fighting patrol in the
burned district, and, with it constant
ly fighting the fire, there is little
danger of it spreading and getting to
the timber. The report gained cur
rency that the company had no men
in the field combating the fire. This
is erroneous, as practically all of the
timber in the section belongs to the
company, and ever since the fire
started it has maintained a crew of
men to fight it.
1t is believed that the fire had its
origin from camp fire of hunters.

Standard Keeps It.

New York, Aug. 31.-An official of
the Standard Oil company yesterday
said regarding the dissolution OF
the company under the mandate OF
the supreme court that only the stock
of the 33 companies affected by the
courts decision will be distributed to
the stockholders.
He said that the large surplus that
has stood to the credit of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New jersey
would have to be divided among
these companies because the surplus
had never been collected by the pa
rent company.
Only that amount which has been
paid out by the Standard Oil in div
dends has been drawn out from the
subsidiary companies, according to
this authority, and the profits above
this amount were left with the com
panies, so each at present has Its
proper share of the surplus.
