Your prop erty will rent more readily, will pay a higher income, and attract a better class of tenants IP IT IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC LIGHT. If you contemplate establishing any business requir ing POWER, it will be to your advantage to talk with us before placing your orders for machinery. The use of ELECTRIC jxnver means: Lesser cost of oj)cration, smaller amount of space required, and great saving in machinery and initial cost of installation of plant. Advantages in the cost of producing power in Port land, in comparison with other cities ol the country, en able its to make lowest rates and give unequalled service. :: Portland General Electric Co., I Seventh and Aider Streeti. PORTLAND, - - . OKKCON DENIES STATEMENT, Councilman Leggett Says Alovon's Assertion is Poise. Last week Tnii RnviHW said that when Willis Moxon asked Council man Leggett if his faction would be satisfied to let Mr. Kdwards he con sidered out of the council if his successor was named by the same faction the answer Was a decided no. Mr. Leggett called at Tun Rtt VHttV office immediately upon seeing the statement published and denied both the question and the answer and asserts that Moxon knew better when he made it. "Tiie question was put to me," said Mr. Legcctt, "if whether I would favor voting out Kdwards and allowing the voters of the first ward to meet and select a successor to him. That was the way I understood the question and I A Few Thorns. Little Clarence took to smoking and he loved the clgaret Aside from this he was as nice as any boy you've wet. nut Clarence saved his coupons: he was anxious (or a prize; And when he had ten thousand he went ut bevond the skies. Ills sister found the coupons all tied nicclv lu a hunch When she came home from the crave yard: and this sister had a hunch. She cashed the bunch of coupons and this hlstorv relates That for her prke she gained a pair of lovely roller skates. And every pleasant evening when the sun sank in the west, She would skate u(ou the asphalt to wnerc Clarence was ai rest; And when she, starting homeward Massed out between the Kates, She'd think of how her brother died to furnish her some skates!

"That publication served to place me in u false light and to cause people to believe that I was against n settlement of council affairs. I'm going to see Moxon and have this matter straightened out." A telephone girl has just fallen heir to about fifteen million dollars. Possibly she took pains to please a rich patron. Police in Portland arc "searching for a saloon-keeper." If memory serves correctly we can find three or four for them. GAME SPORTS. Great Combination of Men of Busy Brains and Brawn. They'll wear white collars and wading boots and keep their pants in creases: and buy good powder and best of shot to murder ducks and eeesesl A "rare combination of money, brains and keen knowledge of thj lair of the wild goose has been formed. The tract of land and water near St. Johns belonging to M. W. Gatton has been leased and those who have "gone in" expect to "come out" with all the fine irame they require for domestic purposes beside a lot of sport: and as all the members are ot "gooc eye" there will be lots of time spent on the premises. Those in the deal are J. S. David son, John Hughes, Adam Kaemlcin Harry Mansfield, R. W. McKeon Fred Prasp, Richard Shepard, and C. W. Wood. It is possible that others will be added.

The ordinance relating to the restraint of cows was a good out. and is being carried out in good shape: but it now looks as if another ordinance must be passed to protect the beasts.
