shopkeepers have been out because there
is no one to employ them or vuy their
wares. Even the shopkeepers that re-
main receive little or no beneht from the
temporary occupants of the shooting
lodges. Everything is brought from the
London store. Butter and esgs even
come from London, and the crofters have
ceased to produce them because they
have nowhere &c sell them. In one Ross
shire glen j was told that q pound OF
homemade butter could not be bought
for a kings ransom.
Year after year the crofter on the bor-
ders of q deer forest sows his grain ana

Difficulties of Compensation.
In numerous cases which have come
under review before the land court, Lord
Kennedy informed compliments that
they could claim compensation from the

of such compensation has to be paid out

tates as untroubled by crofts. A further
difficulty in the way OF a demand for
compensation is that the small income /

rived from their employment as gilltes
during the shooting season.
Apart from the econ ofsljc pressure which

things has resulted in tine usurpation OF
all the pleasures of country life by the

land. Rights of way are ruthlessiy closed

in producing this result. You gentle
men Of tho legislature are the fourth
class, 1t is up to you who represent
business and railroad men, newspa-
pers and the whole state, to see that
Oregon is represented in first class
shape. Economy is all right, but let it
be used in handling the expenditure Of
whatever sum is appropriated. If the
railroads can expend $12,OO0,OOO, rely
ing on the future growth of the valley
for their recompense, can the state Of
Oregon afford to hesitate about hay
ing the same optimistic views, and by
making good appropriation cast its
bread upon the waters, even as the
railroad companies have done?

ABOUT THAT SALARY.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL a few
days ago commented upon the ac-
tion Of the city council in raising
the salary Of the city attorney from
$1,000 to $500 a year. At the time it
offered to give space to the city coun-
cilmen or to the city attorney to ex-
plain this sudden and exceeding gem
erosity at once. So far none have
availed themselves of the opportunity.
1t was suggested that they do not
come all at once, and it is perhaps due
to this, that so far no explanations
have been made, 1t Is probably due
to that innate modesty and bashful
diilidence peculiar to public officials,
that in such cases always impels them
to stand modestly in the background,
lest they he deemed unbecomingly ego
tistical, and let their fellow officials
take a whack at 1t.
On top of this sudden raise comes
the information that the election vot-
ing some 100000 for sewer bonds was
not held legally, and for this reason
the bonds are not marketable. This Is
bad, and is probably sufficient answer
to the Journals question as to why
the city attorneys salary had been
raised, Perhaps if it had been raised
sooner, the election might have been
conducted as the law requires. OF
course this is only surmise. Indeed,
the Journal will go further than this
and cheerfully admit that it does not
know the election Is Illegal, or If 1t
was, wherein 1t was so, or on whom
the blame should fall. All It knows
of 1t Is that some of the councilmen,
discussing the bond issue, made the
statement that the big companies, in
vestigating the matter with the inten-
ton Of purchasing the bonds, dlscov-
cred such n defect, 1t is also learned
from the same source that the opinion
Of some lawyer extra well versed in
the matter Of city bonds may be sought
even though it costs 5000, just to get
this bit Of legal advice. OF course le-
gal information comes high, we all
know that, but that brings us back to
the original query "Why did the coun-
ell raise the salary Of the city attor-
neys Officer"

lain was times against and times
in defense of the respondent; Senator
Jones end Senator Works each balauc-
ed counts against :, while Senator
Perkins pronounced Archibald guilty
on the first : charges and not guilty
on all others.
The fourteenth roll call determining
whether Archibald, after expulsion
from his place on the bench, should be
forever disqualified from holding any
Office under the United States, was an
swered against the convicted man by
Bourne, Chamberlain and Poindexter,
and in his favor by Jones, Perkins and
Works. Had the former group voted
with the latter, Archibald would be
eligible for further honors on the
bench, as the vote was 80 to So.

from the Willamette university, for
the benefit Of It's numberlcss subscrib-
ers, The journal along with the 9TH

at the magnificent manner In which
the unlyersity's appeal for an enlarged
endowment was responded to- It real
lied that now when others had done
so much for the university, that Il
would in turn do something for others.
II was expected that several free schol
arships would be provided, so that
some Of the young men ambitious but
poor now struggling for an education,
would receive some Of the crumbs from

so splcndidly So far nothing has been
done along this line, but II is hoped
this condition will not romain long.

The COmpany's Statement.
Editor Capital Journal: In compli-
ance with Your request for an expla-
nation of why we add the s per cent
to the sum of the Q, Z and 4c charges
in figuring our lighting rate, | wish
to advise as follows:
Our electric lighting rate, as has
been advertised and specified in our
contracts for such sevec, is.
&c per kilowatt-hour, for the first 6
per cent Of the maximum consumption,
plus 7c per kilowatt-hour for the next
9 per cent Of the maximum consump-
tion, plus 4c per hlowatt-hour for all
current used in excess of the above 70
per cent, plus 5 per cent of the sum
OF the above charges.
A cash discount is offered for
prompt payment within 10 DAYS from
the date the bill is received by the
customer, this cash discount being
equal to the per cent portion Of the
charge.
Some people do not realize that the
b per cent portion Of the total charge,
Is as much part Of the rate. as are
the 3, Z and 4c portions, but such is
the case as they would know, IL they
had read that portion of the contract
that refers to the rate, or the adver-
tisements which we have published,
announcing the rate,
In explanation Of why It is neces-
sary for us TO add this per cent, |
wish to say that when the company
decided, about n year and a half ago,
to reduce It's rates for electric lighting
the management decided to make a re-
dnction that would reduce their rev.
enue from this class Of business about
10 per cent They also decided to re-
duce the maximum rate from 15c to
about lOc per kllowatt-hour
The company's engineers were there
fore given instructions to work out a
rate that would accomplish the above
mentioned results, and after spending
several months IN an exhaustive analy-
sis of the company's accounts with lts
customers, thoy found that the pres
ent ra'e fulfilled the requirements bet
ter than any other they were able to
devise.
Tho addition Of tho per cent por-
tIon of the total charge, TO the sum Of
the 0, 7 and ic portions could have
been avoided ry adding the s per cent
to each Of the Q, Z, and 4c rates, thus
making the expression of the rate as
follows:
0,45 per H. W, h. for the first Q per
cent Of the maximum consumption,
plus 135c per k. W. h.. for the next 6
per cent Of the maximum consumption,
plus 42O c per k, W. h., for all current
used in excess Of the above 10 per cent.
You will see from the following ex-
emplcs that the bill amounts to the
same when figured by either method.
You can readily soc, however, that the
latter method Of expressing the rate,
would be cumbersome and undesirable,
because Of the necessity for using frac-
tions Of cents in the rate.
Example: Let 90 k. W. h., be the

parently offering a per cent discount
thereon, IL paid within 10 days, but
at the same time adding per cent to
the bill when 1t is sent out, so that,
in case the bill is paid within the re-
quired time, this per cent arbitrarily
added is generously thrown off," and
the customer is permitted to pay his
bill without any penalty. 1t is cum
bersome, awkward way Of doing busi-
ness, to say the least; is misleading
and causes much kicking and more
comment, The Capital Journal took
the matter up with the company,
which has very accommodatlngly fur
nished 1t the following very lucid ex-
PLANTATION, which shows clearly that
the company added the per cent to
the total Of your bill instead of, as it
might easily have done, adding the 5
per cent to each individual item. The
statement explains this in detail, and
also proves conclusively that the bill
is just the same whether the 5 per
cent is carried out on each item, or
on the total. It does not explain.
though, why 1t is put on at all, only
as a penalty and the bill is so ar
ranged as to make 1t appear to not do
this, but to really give a discount,
when 1t does nothing of the kind. How
ever there is no use discussing the
matter, for the company can fix the
rates as 1t pleases, so the especial
mentioning Of per cent, or any other
sum, is just a waste of time. It will
cost just the same, whether called a
rebate, discount or any other old
thing.

of Americans.
Mexico City-One hundred Ameri-
cans, including women and children
refugees from TOrreon, are reported
to have fallen into the hands of rebels
while proceeding overland to Saltillo.
The authorities at Saltillo decline to
take the responsibility of sending a
force to their rescue, fearing, they say
that the rebels might commit atroci-
ties on the refugees which possibly
otherwise would be avoided.
The report comes from an official
source at Saltillo, but has not been
confirmed.
Senior Gamboa, the foreign minister,
has had no advices further than the
communication to the embassy. He
expressed regret, but added that it
was no more than what might be ex-
pected as the result of the neutrality
policy" of the United States, which
had hampered the administration in
proceeding with strong hand against
rebels and bandits.
General Trucy Aubert, federal
commander, with 1000 men, who is
proceeding from the north to the re-
lief of Torreon, passed Saltillo Sun
day. He is, however, making slow
progress. Meantime the fate Of the
refugees remains in doubt
The Americans are headed by Depu-
ty Consul General Allen, of Monterey,
who went to Torreon to notify Ameri-
can residents there of President Will

BIG DIPPER is DISAPPEARING
IN 100000 Years Famous consteIIas
ton Will Vanish Entirely.

San Jose, Cal.-'It is now known
positively that the Big Dipper, most
famous Of all consultations, is gradu-
ally falling to pieces. In 100000 years
the grand figure as we see it will not
exist longer. In fact it did not exist
100000 years ago."
This announcement is made by Pro
fessor Heber d. Curtis, astronomer at
Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton,
member of the faculty at the Uni
versity of California This fact, says
Curtis, was discovered by the study
of the motions of the stars through
comparison with records kept by as
tronomers for the last $50 years.
STARS" Professor Curtis explains,
'shave two motions-that in their or
bits and that which has been recently
made in a path through the sky,
known as the proper motion.
"The stars of the Big Dipper are
not all moving in the same direction
in their proper motion. Five are 60
ing in one general direction and two
in an entirely different one.
"In relation to the movement OF the
earth their pace is so slow that CEN
turtles must pass before thu constell-
alton will have vanished completely"
