SHIP HAY
TO f At EAST
A seemingly well founded report
has come to Baker county hay grow
ers that the United States government
Is preparing to purchase about 7000
tons of timothy baled hay, and that an
agent of the government in Portland,
or soon will be there, to contract with
Portland commission men.
If this be true eastern Oregon will
be called upon to furnish the hay and
as Baker county has a surplus, and
the quality the best raised In Oregon,
of course she will be In the market
for perhaps the whole amount. Ba

That Pendleton's city council is
seriously considering the proposition
of municipal ownership of an electric
lighting plant developed at last night's
meeting, says the Pendleton Tribune.
It came up in connection with the re
newal of the contract with the North
western Gas & Electric company for
the city's lights.
After a brief discussion the light
commltte was authorized to enter Into
contract with the company for two
years only as It seemed to be the im
presslon that by that time the city
might be in a position to furnish its
own light and power. The contract
provides for the furnishing of eight
additional street lights with the same
cost to the city as at present, bringing
the price paid for each arc light down
to $7 per month.
The proposition of municipal own
ership was brought up by Assessor
Strain who called attention to the
fact that the city of Milton, which
owns Its own plant, has under consid
eration plans for Increasing the ca
pacity of its plant and is willing to
make the Increase sufficiently large
to be able to furnish this city with all
the light and power that would be
needed for years to come. It was
stated that Pendleton could either
buy its power of the city of Milton or
could ask permission to buy stock in
the plant
. The Milton proposition was submit
ted as an alternative In case It should
be impossible for the city to get a
right of way across the reservation
for an extension of its water system
and the establishment of an electric
light plant In connection.
Strain declared that according to
the assessment rolls of Umatilla coun
ty and Walla Walla county, Washing
ton, the total value of the Northwest
ern Gas & Electric company's electric
equipment Is $347,000, while the net
annual Income of the company Is
probably 1100,000,- or five per cent
Interest on a principal' of $2,000,000.
Even If the Income were only half
this amount. It would be seen that
the profits of the company on the
amount of money Invested was some
thing enormous.
