BIG QUESTION IS
INVOLVED IN CASE

Attorney General Crawford today
gave report to the state land board
in the Portland case involving the own.
ership of land between high and low
water on the Willamette river. The
attorney. general believes it will take
a decision of the highest court to de-
eide the question. The law of 1852
authorized owners of land fronting on
the Willamette to construct wharves,
but the Eastern sawmill, the claimant
in this case, has not done so. In 1872
an act was passed providing that tracts
along the Willamette should not be
considered tide lands, and that the
owner of land along the river was en-
titled to the tract between low and
high water This law was amended in
1876, but the effect IS practically un.
changed, as it merely made it apply to
other rivers.
1t has been the policy to recognize
the rights of shore owners to the
tracts extending into the water, and
there is a question as to whether the
law is broad enough to cover the pres
ent case, in which the company has
constructed a dixie, and is claiming all
the land inside.
A court decision in the controversy
will be far.reaching in its effect.

Reported to Have Lost Money.

1t is reported that the recent produc.
tion of the "Chimes Of Normandy"
will result in a loss of about seventy
dollars. If this be true, it is a down.
right shame. The "Chimes of Nor.
mandy" was one of the best amateur
productions ever presented in Salem.
The chorus was exceptionally we'll drill
ed, the principals were good--some of
the voices simply great-and the cos.
tunes fresh and elaborate. Dean Men
denhall is TO be congratulated on the
performance from the standpoint Of
excellence, as are all those participat.
ing, but it is a matter of regret that
Salem people did not show more sub.
stantial appreciation.

LINEMAN KILLED
BY A LIVE WIRE
John Dunn, of Here Accidently
Electrocuted.
RECEIVED 13,2OO VOLTS
Was Repairing Lines for Telephone
Company. and came in Contact
with the Power Lines of the Public
Service Company"

John Dunn. highly respected young
man of this city, was instantly killed
about , 80 Friday afternoon, by com
ing III contact with high tension wires,
carrying ID 300 voltage.
He was an employee of the Mineral
Point Telephone company, and was
repairing some wires on the company 5
line near the John OStrauder home.
The pole was located beneath the high
power lines of the Public Service COM
pany, and it is thought that while
changing his position from one side
of the cross arms to the other, his head
came in contact with the over head
wires, death coming instantly. His
"hikes' were the only things which
saved him from falling to the ground.
George " Horn was passing by at
the time, and heard Mr.. Dunn scream
and heard a noise similar to fuse
blowing out, he looked up and saw
Dunn hanging head downwards. He
Immediately summoned help and with
the aid of ladders, they rem owed the
body from the pole. Four doctors We're
in attendance and worked upon the
victim for several hours with hopes of
restoring him to consciousness, but
their efforts We're unvailing.
The body was taken to his home, and
his father and mother, who reside in
Benton, were told of the distressing &C
cdent Tney arrived Saturday after
noon, in company with his brothers and
sisters, who reside there.
The funeral was held at ST. Mary's
church at 80 a. m, Monday, Rev. L..
P. Reilly officiating. The orchestra
and motorcycle club; of which he was
an enthusiastic and esteemed member,
were present in a body. The large at
tendance was significant of the high
esteem in which he was held by his
friends and relatives.
John Dunn was born in December
80, 1886, in Benton, Wis, and lived
there continuously until his arrival in
Mineral Point
On May 28, 1912, he was united in
marriage to Miss Anna Sieger, of this
city.
John was a young man of exceptional
talent along his adopted profession, and
was man of that rare talent of max
ing friends unknown to himself. He
was quiet and unassuming and never
enjoyed himself more than when he
was trying to help some one, less
fortunate than he.
In his going his relatives and many
friends will miss a noble character, an
upright spirit and an honest man.
Those from out Of town, who attend
ed the funeral were: Mr.. ana Mrs
Martin Dunn, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Foht, Mrs. Julia Dunn. Mr.. Micheal

CONFECTIONERY.
Centuries Ago II Was a Part of tho
Art of thu Apothecary

CuriOusly enough, the making of con-
fectionery originated in way with the
apothecaries about 500 years ago. 1t
was then that sugar was first imported
into England, and it was then that
CONNECTIONS first became known. For
a time they appeared only in medical
form, the apothecaries using the newly
imported sugar as means Of mitgat-
ing the bitterness of their doses. In
other words, they mixed their drugs
with it, and therein lay the origin OF
many of the sirups and medicated can
dies, the ancestors of our cough drops
and lozenges. The cost of sugar was
far too high. and most people were far
too poor to permit Of it's being eaten
for its own sake alone and as a mere
luxury.
1t was only couple of centuries ago
that there began to appear a new
phase of the apothecary's art Con-
fections began to be made more or less
apart from any medicinal purpose and
because people liked them. and eventu-
ally the confectioner's business became
quite separate and distinct from that
of the apothecary.
Although the confectioner's trade
may be said to be about 200 years old,
it was only within recent times that it
became a real and extensive industry.
At first sugar was heavily taxed, and
the confectiOner's trade was pursued
upon very elementary principles. For
a long time everything was done by
hand. Implements were of the very
simplest-candy kettles heated on small
brick furnaces, pestles and mortars,
rolling pins and scissors, etc. The out
put was very small, and, comparative
ly speaking, sweetmeats Of all sorts
were expensive and frequently unat-
tractive.
All this has been changed, and now
adays the most improved machinery
and implements combine to produce
the most delicate and attractive sweets.
Muscles have been superseded by en-
gines, pestles and mortars and rolling
pins, and scissors have given place to
revolving pans and steam pans, and
mechanism for beating and kneading
and mixing, for cutting and slicing and
grinding, for rolling and grating and
stamping. for crushing ice and freezing
cream and other processes.
While many of the best and most
expensive candies are still very largely
made by hand processes, by far the
greater mass of sweetmeats is produc-
ed by machinery.-Harper's Weekly.

Among the new things which have
been recently brought out to tighten
the burdens of the fair ones is a little
device by which any ordinary job of
cutlery sharpening may be done on the
sewing machine. The device consists
of a small emery wheel Of the right
composition for sharpening knives,
scissors and similar household utensils,
and this Is mounted with a pulley
wheel on q small metal table. This is
placed on the top Of the sewing ma
chine table and slid along until the
pulley wheel is in contact with the
belt as it passes through the table top.
There is a small shelf in the proximity
Of the wheel which is set at just the
right angle for scissors sharpening, land
with this any woman is enabled to
sharpen a pair of scissors, whereas
under ordinary circumstances this is a
rather difficult task. 1t is also possible
to sharpen any other small piece of
cutlery.

Hopkins, the Witch Finder.

Though some people still believe in
witches, there is no longer any use for
the witch finder. Englishmen of ear
lier generations gave this person abun-
dant employment, sometimes fetching
the real expert enormous distances to
cleanse an afflicted town. In 1919, for
instance, the magistrates of Newcastle
sent into Scotland for one who could
find witches, agreeing to pay 20 shil-
lings (S4.S0) a head for all that he con-
victed. His particular method consist
ed in pricking the suspect with pins,
and fifteen old women were duly exc
cuted as the result of his visit. The
most notorious OF witch finders, one
Hopkins. was finally executed as q
wizard after trial by one of the more
painful Of his own many cleverly de
