They paraded Portland streets, took over the city jail, j-raWicd the po lice wufi-on, Uanfiarooed the. chief of police, mayor and the district attorney. No, it was not one of the intoxicated parties it was just old- ' fashioned fun. The Dokkie spirit from fihode Island to Winnipeg i'.id from British Columbia to Texas was of the best and it pre vailed 100 per cent in Portland.1 When the Tennesseaiis wanted to march their drum con's through the hotel corridors at the dead hour of nijfht they did it. The drums were not muffled, cither, and they whanjred away un til they shook the windows. La Grande's temple had a band in the show at Portland that . took the honors in its Contests and the Philharmonic orchestra from Enteiprise, under leadership of J. David Haines, was popu lar, not only with the visitors, hut with Portland people who were not even members of the lodge. Portland went strong for the Kn terprise orchestra. But the orehestni was in good form and was justly entitled to every honor that was bestowed upon it. As a whole the Dokkie world did Oregon a lot of good by meet- iillf here, and we believe Oregon did the Dokkies a lot of good, also, iut r.K it rnmr r to K.VOi'K A PltKTTV (illtl,.

Mighty Poor Water I.a Grande is drinking water pumped from the river ii river that is not patrolled, a river that has camps all along its banks, and yet we have going lo waste plenty of fresh mountain water high up in the hills, We have all discussed the water question until we have reached just one final conclusion there is but one thing to do and that is build a pipe lino that will carry in enough water for the city. We can't do it this year, unfortunately, and our people will continue to drink the water that drains off of the dead animals, the cess pools and camper's camps True, we Will have some chloronation process which we can strengthen only to upset the stomach nnd set up a prize fight within that stomach between the chlorine and the J)luo jVjtrpjlj xyhldj is used tjtJill-that gmcji, ungi.s growing in the reservoir." Providence gave us the water just a few miles up in the hills, made the grade steep so that gravity would bring it down to the valley, evidently presuming that we hnd sufficient gumption to provide details and not allow human consumption of poisonous drugs in any iuaulity when all that is required is to open the pipe line and let the water flow for the last mile in open flume with a few rocks for it to run over. The plan of drilling a well is all right as as experiment that can be dime immediately, so let's get at it. All Work Genteel The story told of a young man, a bank clerk on a salary of R2,00(l a year, who refused another position paying $!i00 more be cause he would in that ease be a shipping clerk and the hank job is "more genteel," is representative of more than one individual. While most young men, at least all who will ever amount to any thing, would take the job that pays the most money, other things being equal, there is a class, possibly, which considers the gentility of a job compensates for the lack of pay. It is conceivable that one might decline a position offering more money because the oppor tunities contained were less than in the one held, but in that case the decision would not be based on gentility. All work is genteel that is legitimate and the job of a shipping clerk is as honorable as that of a bank clerk. Both honor the man who dues gootl work and neither can honor the man who thinks one is more genteel than another who wears a white collar and whose employment does not soil his hands. It's the man and not the job on which gentility depends Yet the itlea that one kind of work is less dignified than an other prevails, though it is un-American and undemocratic. Do mestic help would not be so scarce ami unsatisfactory were not such opinions held. It is all right, in the opinion of many, for a girl to work in a shop but not in a kitchen, though the latter may pay far better wages than that which is favored. It seems also to make a difference whether one draws wages or a salary, though it is a little difficult to distinguish between the two. Both ar payments for services. It's the service which is being sold and it's honorable if value is given and no one sen-ice is more honor able than another though greater skill may be put into it with corresponding; reward. That one form of laudable effort is niotv j'enteel than another is but a bit of snobbishness. Iti-anly In only .skin ilorp. ami lici-aiim- a.

Oregon "limDmnm With Hwrlre" i Competition was the earliest form of regulation for Light Power companies, but this form of regulation was found to be bad in the long run for the consumers of light and power. c . Long ago the public decided that one Light and Power company, properly managed, and publicly regulated as to rates and service was better for all concerned than to have several companies competing in the same territory. Two companies operating in one territory means dup licate equipment and transmission lines. The public has found that users of this service should not be required to pay for this duplication any more than they should have to pay four cents to stamp a letter in order that two sets of postmen might bring letters to their doors. The legislature Of Oregon, in 1017, passed a law en titled AN ACT OF CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY, (he purpose of which was to protect the people against wasteful competition among utilities, for which the public would eventually .have to pay. This act prohibits another Light and Power company from entering this or any other territory without first showing that it would be' convenient or necessary to the public. i With the privilege of operating alone in this territory comes also to the Eastern Oregon Light and Power com pany the .responsibility of supplying adequate light and j lower, the rates for which are, of course, set by publicly r looted officials.
