Hereafter the 30.000 or more residence lighting customers of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company will be billed for the electricity every two months instead of each month as here tofore. This change in billing prac tice has been made to obviate the necessity of having the meter read ers enter the premises every month, especially as many thousands of these accounts are for a comparatively small amount each month. The change will not affect the rate charged in any way nor will it affect the 5 per cent discount for prompt payment of bills. The only difference is that bills will be sent out six times a year in stead of 12. Christmas Lists Eeisq Cleared.

"Josef Lhesinne's place among the greatest living masters of the piano forte is indisputable," said Everhardt Armstrong in speaking of his concert. "Last night's recital at the Metropoli tan theater revealed the full measure of his interpretative genius and won for the richly endowed Russian an ovation such as a Seattle audience sel dom accords a visiting artist. "Lhevinne conquers through sheer power, coupled with the .profound in sight that is invariably a trait of the truly great maker of music. There is in his style nothing of the histrionic. His art is unalloyed with mannerisms or puerile parading of temperamental idiosyncrasies. The pianist's presence, like his playing, evidences a nature ruggedly powerful."
