The Board of Supervisors was in
session Tuesday and much busi-
ness was transacted.
Bids were opened for the erec~
ton Of a branch Jail at Johnson
and a juvenile cell at the local
county jail, which were rejected,
being deemed too high. The bids
called for $1,000, while the Pearce
and Bowie jails only cost from $500
to $500. The board therefore de-
cided to construct the buildings
themselves, using prisoners for do
ing the work.
Annual reports of the Sheriff and
County Treauser were audited and
approved.
The Sheriff S report shows that
the office collected $5,653 81 in Ii
censes and fees during the year
ending December 20. For the pre-
ceding year ending the same day,
1914, $47,211.65 was collected,
showing decrease for the year

treat Demand for Tungsten

ureat Demand for Tungsten
The intense demand for the ores
of tungsten during the past few
months has stimulated much inter
est in prospecting for tungsten and
the purchase of tungsten mines.
There is, however, as yet a large
untitled demand for properties both
in the prospecting and developed
stages showing ores of tungsten of
sufficient value to work.
During the past few weeks the
Arizona State Bureau of Mines
has had INQUIRY from responsible
purchasers in the east desiring to
purchase tungsten mines, and the
Bureau will be pleased to oommun-
icate the details of any tangsten

tention. The main object of the
Bureau of Mines is to stimulate
the industry within the state, and
one Of the best methods of stimu-
lation is the creation of new work.

Of the red metal from Anaconda,

In sympathy with the rise in
copper, practically the entire list of
copper stocks rose several points.

The management of the Oregon
Power company received handsome
compliment from Alderman Hayter
last Monday night when the street
lighting project now being installed
was being discussed. Mr.. Martin had
made an appeal to the council for ad-
ditional street lights in the business
district, saying that his company had
expended something over $4,000 in i'm
provements to have its municipal
lighting bill reduced, when Mr.. Hay
ter remarked that the city had re-
ceived liberal treatment from the
Oregon Power company's present To-
cal manager and recommended that
the committee be instructed to take
the matter up with the county and see
If an arrangement could not be ef-
fected for the establishment of posts
around the court house square. This
the committee will do, and it is to be
hoped that it will be successful. There
should be more illumination about the

HORNER' TALK INTERESTING.
Presents Unique Facts About This
Locality Before Woman's Club.

Prof J. B. Horner, in speaking of
Oregon before the Woman s club of
Salem the other day presented some
interesting facts about this section of
the Willamette valley that will bear
repeating. Among other things he
said:
"Did you ever stop to think that
the first important American coloni-
zation of the Pacific coast took place
in the vicinity of Salem, the present
capital of Oregon? We all speak with
pride of Boston; but did you ever
stop to think that the Willamette val
ley is as large as the entire state of
Massachusetts? Did you ever stop to
think that the present state of Oregon
is as large as the states of New York
and Massachusetts with little Rhode
Island thrown in? Did you ever stop
to think that the original Oregon, or
old Oregon, which comprised the pres
ent states of Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Oregon, was as large as
the combined thirteen original Amer
lean colonies-Georgia exceptedq
"Did you ever stop to think that
when the great movement for per-
organization and perfected
government in Oregon came, the as
sembly held its deliberations in the
Oregon institute which is now known
and honored everywhere as William
cite university? Did you know that
centuries before the white man came
TO the Pacific coast, warning tribes of
Indians met at the little village where
Mill creek and the Willamette meet,
% settle their differences and agree
lpon terms of peace? Did you stop
% think that in recognition of this
'act the little village was called the
City of Peace" or Chemeketaq And

yillage grew into the white mans

BOWERS CASE GOES UP
MULTNOMAH JUVENILE COURT
WANTS QUESTION SETTLED.
Will Undertake to Sustain Conten-
ton That Tt Has Jurisdiction
Over Marion Bowers.

Judge w. N. Gatens Of the juvenile
court of Multnomah county has in
structed Attorney Tooze of this city
to appeal the case Of Marion Bowers,
ward of that court, and this long
drawn-out legal battle will be decided
by the supreme court. This case was
brought in the circuit court for Polk
county, and the child in question was
turned over to Mr.. and Mrs. Milton
Grant of Dallas. The question in
volved is whether or not Marion Bow
ers, the child, is ward of the ju-
venile court of Multnomah county
when it is removed to another county
with permission of the court, or of
the court of the county to which the
child has been temporarily removed.
The juvenile court of Multnomah
county has children who are wards of
various counties in the state, and
Judge Gatens considers it important
that he should know under whose
jurisdiction they are, and hence has
recommended that this case be taken
to the supreme court and the question
decided.
The case referred to is fresh in the
minds of readers of The Observer,
it having but recently been disposed
of by Judge Harry Belt in chambers.

BIG MEETING IS PLANNED.
Oregon Hop Growers Association to
Convene Tomorrow.

The executive committee and offic-

rousing big meeting of the members
and stockholders of the association,
and also of all the hop growers who
have not as yet joined the organiza-
ton, to be held in Salem tomorrow
afternoon, the purpose of which is to
adopt complete set of bylaws for
the government of the body and to
elect full set of directors and offic-
ers for the ensuing year.
Manager and Organizer E. V. D.
Paul of the Oregon association, and
Secretary Fred N. Stump report that
the affairs of the Oregon association
are progressing most satisfactorily,
new growers and new stock being
signed by every day, and no matter
what happens in the neighboring
states of California and Washington,
the organization work is going to be
put through to an effective conclusion
in this state, and that there is every
indication of unqualified success.
Little or no contracting is being
done with the Oregon growers, as they
have been so much encouraged and
by the advance in the mar
ket, in which there is no question of
doubt that the organization Of the
growers has exercised very strong
Influence, and, judging from reports
received from England, Germany and
elsewhere, the prospects are favorable
for a good market the coming season,
and the association stands to benefit
and develop much strength as a result.

companies" he says. cit is true the
insurance department also was mis-
informed as it was led to believe these
companies had sufficient funds on
hand to meet outstanding losses. This
is no doubt the explanation of why
the former insurance commissioner
letters to the policy holders at var
ious times were so worded as to lead
them to believe the company was SOL
vent.
"This will explain why so many
policy holders were indignant and are
criticising the insurance department,
and as have only been in office sixty
days, I am not in a position to offer
any further explanation as to the ac-
