No handsomer store can be found in
Oregon, and Mr. Woolpert will make
it as well equipped as it is handsome,

scription department
The Capital drug store will be open
to the public at the new location Sat,

much light on the matter P. A. Will

again yesterday, without bringing
anything more to light than has been
common knowledge ever since the ex-

by Williams In his testimony Friday
that the explosion might have been
caused by some dynamite being
placed in the furnace, but this is not
given much credence, as 1t is only a
possibility.
The verdict Of the jury was that the
three men came to their death from
the effects of the explosion, which re-
suited from causes unknown.

BLUE SKY LAW MUST

poratlons they must expect to pay for
that protection, and that he will fight

emphatic declaration of Secretary Of
State Olcott.
The secretary was led to make this
declaration after having been ap-
preached by number OF men who
have been elected TO the legislature,
and who have declared 1t their pur-
pos to introduce blue sky masure at
the session.
"A law without teeth In It Is worse
than no law at ALL" said the secre-
tary "If the legislature attempts to
put through blue sky law It will be
a real law, or no law at ALL and, fur
ther than that, | hope that no law will
be passed which throws into this
office the duties that would be
imposed by an adequate blue sky
law. A department created wholly
for that purpose should make investi-
cations of corporations. This office
Is already crowded with work, and
there will be no more room until the
new building Is completed. | realize
the antlpathy Of the people to the cre-
alton Of new commission, but am
sure, basing my judgment on my ex-
perience in this office, that the pas

That Governor West will be respon-
Sibe for the state losing $50 900 be-
cause he failed to follow advice Of the

bodied In Attorney-General Crawford's
report 10 the state land board today in
reply TO the governors condemnation
OF him at meeting Of the land board
on Wednesday and a subsequent letter
to Mr. Crawford asking him to take
immediate action in the Benson-Hyde
Gaze.
The governors error which resulted
in $4,000 slipping through his fingers,
contends the Encouragement, was IN
his failure TO confer with the Oregon
representatives relative 10 salt lakes
In Lake county. The attorney-general
explains that by the enabling act the
state was entitled to six Of the lakes,
hut did not realize the value Of the
lakes until too late to take advantage
Of the act Attorney-General Crawford

the lakes contained valuable salt de-
Doslts and advised the governor TO APP
peal TO Oregon representatives In CON
gress to induce congress to donate the
lakes TO the state.
Instead, says the attorney-general
the governor selected the lands by the
use Of indemnity school lands script to
the extent Of $4,000. The result is
that II the lakes prove to be valuable
for their salt deposits the state must
pay $4,000 for them whereas they
