n
May Get Alore Arc Lights
City Commissioner John M.
Mann, in an effort to better the
lighting in this district, in
structed his assistant to go over
the entire district and review
its neods at this time. He has
int been unmindful of the fact
that a large number of lights
are needed, but it has been im
possible to meet the nedd in this
respect. However, if the people
of Portland will vote "601xYea"
on the ballot November 2nd, the
charter will bo changed so that a
contract may be entered into for
city lighting for a period of five
years instead of two years, as at
present. Such a contract will
have three distinct advantages,
viz: It will allow competitive
bids; a lower price per lamp per
year.and place the cost of instal
lation of lights upon the company
instead of the" city. Tho saving
in cost per lamp per year over
five years will probably amount
to a total of $35,000 or $40,000,
and any money spent now for in
stallation of lights would amount
to enough to pay tho cost of burn
ing a light from three to flvo
years. Sinco tho proposed char
ter amendment does not call for
an additional levy, but simply
allows tho city n tremendous ad
vantage not now enjoyed, there
is no uouuc uui wnnt the meas
uiu ... wuw, livuyy major-
fc-.ri.mt.. i .1.-1 a '
people will allow n five year con
tract and that tho 3 mill measure
will also bo carried, Commission
er Mann will bo allowed $20,000
for additional lighting, as tho
other commissioners havo prom
ised their support to that extent.
Mayor Baker is closely cooper
ating vith Mr. Mann in the. mut
ter of lighting, as evidenced by
tho fact that Sergeant Crane was
detailed to assist in tho survey
just completed. We aro fortun
ato to havo Sergeant Crane- as
signed to this district, because
ho feels a personal interest in our
welfare and is giving valuable
nssfitunco in every way possible.
Wo do not beliovc it will bo
possible to install all of the need
ed lights under the most favora
bio circumstances, but wo aroi

Dunning School of Improved
Music Study
MRS. FRANK A. RICE
Announces that she has received from Carrie Louise Dunniug a
diploma as an exponent of the Dunning System of Im-1
proved Music Study, which includes the Faclten prin
ciples concentration and the Leschctizky Technic.
Formed into classes pupils are taught by musical characters
and rhythm sticks. An ingeniously constructed keyboard with
grand staff attached, simplifies notation by uuiting these two im
portant factors.
Each difficulty is presented in such a thorough manner that
a child of ten or twelve years can master transposition, scale
buildiug, melody writing by dictation, the Dominant Seventh
and Modulation. The written work teaches the student that music.

Has Made a Fine Record
If you want a City Comissionor
who has the qualifications and
tho ability combined with good
"horso sonso" and is not an
"experimenter" with tho tax
payers money, fiddling !t away
on fads and foolish schemes,
voto for T.L.Perkins. Ho is a
man who has constructive ideas
that will be of benefit to the
people and the Upbuilding of the
city, lie is a man who docs things
and promises little. He has been
instrumental in having passed
more bills for the happiness,
pleasuro and material welfare of
the people during his term in the
legislature as a state senator
than many other legislators have
done in twice the number of
terms served. Ho will do the
same as a City Commissioner.
Editor Review: The voters
nro called'on to vote on cloven
state measures. Most of them
are bad.' The proposed Divided
Legisative session is a freak and
destroys representative govern
mcnt. and more than that, will
cost the taxpayers about $25,-
000 or $30,000 more than a con
tinuous session. It providos for
n visit home by the Legislators
at the expenso of tho State.
I suggest to the voters to vote
r am ...... 1 mn . - .. .. a 1.
to kn th(J dlvdc( BCaaion
proposition. I also believo it to
I., i .... l ... ....
. uf "!; w IU u.u""
the ?1G,0C0,000 Port of Portland
proposition. Terminal No. Four
is crood. tho best on tho coast.
and to start another terminal
onlv ados to our tax burdens.
Lot's keep down the taxes, and
no matter how much wo try next
yenr they will be about l.30.
Voto 319 x No.- D. C. Lewis,
convinced that our interests in
this matter will bo protected and
that wo will get our full ratio of
tho now lights which it will bo
possihjo to install shortly.
Ivnnhoo street, bet. Richmond
and Mohawk streets, is in a de
plorable condition. Tho City nu
thoritiea should give it Immecll

Somewhat Misleading
One of tho measures requiring
a decisive negative vote in tho
election to bo held next Novem
bcr 2nd is misleading in that it
is described as "Fixinir The Lo
gal Rate of Interest in Oregon"
instead of bo ntr captioned as re
ducinir tho interest limitation
rates. When Oregon was still a
young state and development was
first commenced our farmers had
to pay very high rates of interest
which often exceeded 10 percent
and very often was as high as
15 per cent, but as development
proceeded and security for the
nayment of debts was irrcatly
increased tho legal interest rate
decreased. Finally a law paused
imiting tho legal interest rato to
G per cent and contract rato to
10 percent but only in undevelop
ed and remote districts where
the security is less has tho high
est rato allowed been charged on
loans. Most of tho mortago loans
on both city and farm property
aro now at rates varying from
5i percent to 8 percent according
to the security and tho condi
tion of tho inonoy markets, To
now reduce tho contract rato to
5 nercont means tho withdrawal
from Oregon of all money invest
ed in loans to bo placed clse-
whero at higher nites. Wo all
know what this means and what
tho consequences will bo for
Oregon. Tho only way to save
tho stato from strangling itself
is to kill this .measure with a
decisivo NO at tho polls. VOTE
NO yourself and toll your friend
to do the same. Tho ballot number
is 315.
Tho Christian church of St.
Johns has onjoyed nnuBU8iin! de
gree of prosperity sinco entering
tho now building lost rail. A
constant increase in member
ship of tho conaroiration and
steady growth of tho Bible
school as well as tho other de
partments are but nn evidence
of tho splendid fellowship exist

and tho excellent team work bo-

When the Shades are Drawn
and (he tender ministry of the living must give place to the service
of the undertaker, it is a real comfort to surviving friends, to feel
sure that the preparation for burial will be conducted with dignity
nnd proper respect for the lately departed one.
Then, too, Modern Science has found a way through the art
of Embalming, not only for removing the peril of contagion, but
also of restoring the natural flush of health, so that the latest picture
in memory will be pleasant to recall,
This process is part of my service which I will gladly explain
to anyone interested.

Ho must lio in one position, ncv

Or his chanco to grow to great

Ah. to think how they were ruin

and tho Hnmiltons, you

We must feed the baby only by
tho schedule that is mode
And the food that ho is given
must bo measured out and
