BILLS WERE
NOT SIGNED
BY TREASURER
SECRETARY OLCOTT FINDS A
BATCH OF BILLS FOR WHICH
WARRANTS HAVE BEEN DRAWN
BUT WHICH ARE UNSIGNED.

Scores of bills for salaries for EN-
ployes of the state institutions for
which warrants have been issued but
which are not filable because they
lack the signature of ex-State Treas
urer Steel have been discovered by
Secretary of State Olcott and in
bringing up the files of the past ad-
ministration and starting those of
his own he is puzzled as to what to
do with them.
Ex-state Treasurer Steel, it seems,
while serving as an official for the
state of Oregon with Offices at Salem,
spent most of his time at Portland,
Whenever his signature was wanted
to bill 1t was generally necessary
to wait for him, and the bills in
question are still waiting for him.
Certain it is that no other officer can
sign them and it is doubtful now
that Steel Is out of office, whether he
can legally sign them, and as with
out the signatures of the ex-treasur-
err they are not filable, the secretary
does not know what disposition to
make of them. 5iN
Are for Large Amounts.
There are 81 bills payable from the
general fund and despite the lack of
Steels signature approving them,
warrants we're drawn in their pay
ment The major portion of them
run into several hundred dollars,
and some go over the thousand mark.
The largest salary bill without the
signature of the eX-treasurer is the
bill for salaries for the asylum This
bill was for last December, and
amounts to S9,773 Another large
bill relates to the hatchery fund Of
the master fish warden's department.
This is for the month of July, of last
year and amounts to $S1466. An
other is for the feeble minded insti-
tute and is for the month of Septem-
Der, and amounts to S1,S56.
Notary Commissions Signed.
Just recently Secretary of State
Olcott had an official whose time of
office expired leaving several hun
dred notarial commissions unsigned,
come to the capitol building and sign
them so that they might be filable
The duty of signing them at the time
they were issued, seems to have been
shifted from one person in the office
to another until when it reached the
last one and there being none fur
ther to shift the duty to, it went un-
done.
Just as to whether an official after
passing out Of office could sign these
commissions seems to be a legal
question which is, well a question.

MADE IN OREGON.

The multiplicity and diversity of products made in Oregon
not well known to the resident business
for that matter as they should lie.
Here in Oregon manufacture perhaps ninety cent of
the average requirements of citizens but comparatively few
realize the fact
made in Oregon should be the slogan of every citizen
Every dollar spent for home goods remains at home and the
pender gets back at least portion of his money way
another every time he buys Made in Oregon" product
Oregon is destined to be of the great manufacturing
in the Union but the time it will require for her 10 be in the
foremost rank of manufacturing states would be greatly short
ened if people would make portion of their daily duties
first to inquire the goods they buying Made in Ore
gon"
We have factories in this state which today struggling
for existence and which would be running along smoothly
poyng many more and women if each man, and
child in the state would insist having the home product
It is not asked that people buy made in Oregon goods
preference to goods made elsewhere unless the home product
equal in quality appearance and price the goods made
elsewhere.
But the investigation of our citizens will show
that manufactures in most lines turning goods to-
day that equal any the country and the Manufacturers asso
citation only asks that when such goods are offered that they
be given the preference.
This leads to another important phase of the question
The support Of home industry the duty of every citizen
We live by the interchange of trade
There small need indeed for the people of Oregon to go out
side of their state for the everyday requirements of life and
being sold hem retail dealers everywhere would keep up their
stock to meet the demands of their trade.
Cities and states are built up by the pay-ros within the
state
Property values kept up the payro of the factories
Farm values are kept up by the demands for products
from the cities, the manufacturing centers
The whole problem is which casually studied will
prove to citizen and to every and child within
the state that his support Made in Oregon goods means
that his own prosperity will be greater,
1t is a wheel within wheel" proposition
Insist on Made in Oregon goods.
The factories are the life If our cities.
The factories have the more people are empoved
and greater becomes the prosperity not only of the cities but of
the rural districts for the factory supported cities must depend
upon the agricultural districts for their food supplies and
largely for their products
The home manufacturers depend upon the people, and the
people depend upon the home manufacturers
Inc consistent support OF home industries and the persistent
demand for Made in Oregon goods increased payo
which in turn will be to the advantage of the farmer and all
other producers of the necessities of life.

The SAFETY
VALVE WAS
CEMENTEI

To find the safety valve of the
boiler in the state capitol building so
cemented with rust that it was nee
essary to pry it loose with crow
bar was the experience of Martin
Languth engineer at the state house,
and who has been overhauling the
boiler.
The condition of the boiler indi-
Gates that 1t has never been over
hauled since it was installed. Save
for the valves, however, it was not
bad, It's condition was not only bad
but dangerous as should the steam
have been turned off on all of the
radiators in the building at the same
time, an explosion would have been
the result as with the valves closed
there would have been no avenue for
the steam to escape.
Languth is the new engineer and
his years Of experience has made him
thoroughly conversant with his work
In all its phases.

AUTHOR OF "THE JUNGLE" GETS
SENTENCE POR PLAYING BALL
on SUNDAY-ITS 4 DOSE OF
HIS OWN MEDICINE BUT HE
DOESN'T LIKE IT.

Wilmington, Del, August 2.-Sen-
fenced TO IS hours of rock breaking
at the county work house for yiolat-
ing the blue laws by playing base
ball and tennis on Sunday, Upton
Sinclair, founder of the single tax
colony at Arden and author of "The
Jungle" declared today a hunger
strike" and refused to elt
Following an enforced bath, Sim
clair and his associates were put to
work on the rock pile and no mercy
was shown them. Sinclair, wild with
rage, threatened to insist on the en-
forcement of the blue laws which
forbid every manner of business on
Sunday. If he carries out his threat
preachers, lawyers and judges may
become involved in the conflict.
Sinclair's arrest was instigated by
George Brown, an anarchistic philos-
opher, in revenge for Sinclair's ac-
tion in having Brown arrested for
street speaking.

SENATORS
WILL PLAY SALEM ON THE
LEAGUE GROUNDS HERE NEXT
SUNDAY-0NLY THREE MORE
GAMES THIS SEASON.

The Senators will meet the Hub
bard team next Sunday on the Salem
league grounds. There are only
three more games to be played in the
league schedule this season. The re-
suit of the next three games will de-
eide which team of the Willamette
Valley league will carry off the $125
pennant The following Sunday AL
bany will cross bats in Salem with
Jerman's nine and on Sunday, Aug
ust 20 the last and deciding game of
the season will be played, also on
the home grounds, between Salem
and the Woodburn Giants. If the
Senators prove victorious in the
league finals Manager Jerman init
mated this morning that he would
Issue . challenge to Manager Bar
tholomew of the Gresham Giants, for
a, game, The Gresham nine has
played excellent ball this season and
its members are laying claim to the
championship of the Willamette
Valley. Mysterious" Mitchell prob
ably will pitch for the Gresham
boys. In his last game only two runs
We're secured off him. Jerman, how
ever, is confident that his star pitch
f., er, Allegart, can give the "Myster-
ious' one a good hard run for the
money and the Senators probably
will face the Gresham Giants before
the championship title for this sea-
, son is finally and definitely decided.
The next three games in the league
schedule should prove rafting good
contests. Albany defeated Salem
last Sunday, Hubbard has twice de-
feated Woodburn, while Woodburn
has been at the top of the column
for some time Now these four
teams are going to settle matters
Eduring the next three games.
Blazier, Jerman's new man from
Wisconsin, took Jones place behind
the bat in last Sundays ganfe at AL
bany. His work pleased Jerman so
well that the Senator'S manager
probably will play Blazier in the
same place next Sunday and will
give Jones a chance to stretch his
legs in the outer field.

FIRE DID NOT
LEAVE THE MEN
WITHOUT WORK

Springfield, Aug. I'm spite Of
the fact that $50 men were thrown
out of employment by the burning
of the Booth-Kelly mill, not one of
these men today is without work or
is unable to get it, according to
statement issued by the authorities
here today The Booth-Kelly COM
pany is taking care of every man
with a family, and places are made
for them in the other mills or camps.
In addition to this fact Springfield
today is short of labor. A bulletin
board in front of an employment
bureau asks for 10 men to work for
the Oregon Power company; 100 la
borers are wanted by the Southern
Pacific company at Natron, five miles
from here; so are wanted by the city
of Springfield for grading and street
work; so men are wanttd by sewer
contractors, who will start construc-
ton next week on $1,000 worth of
sewers in this city and a dozen men
are asked for work on the construc-
tion of the new Springfield bank
building which began this morning,
by the excavation for the basement.
Springfield has several business
blocks under course of construction
and a score of residences that are
above the $1,000 class. Although
the loss of the Booth-Kelly payroll is
felt to appreciable extent, it affects
Springfield but very little.
