CITY GOVERNMENT.
Forward steps In municipal govern
ment are being taken both In this
country and In foreign countries along
what may be broadly stated as the
Federal plan and the Board plan.
These designations are far from be
ing definite for there are many expe
riments being made by cities that em
brace features of both plans, and some
that have few or none of the principal
features of either.
The Federal plan Is modeled on the
United States government in the main
characteristics of popular election of
a legislative body, and one supreme
executive officer (mayor), be to ap
point with approval of legislative
body (council) all minor executive of
ficers, such as heads of departments,
clerks, etc.
The two principal arguments usu
ally advanced in support of the Fed
eral plan are first, the voters are not
confused or tricked by politicians into
little squabbles over unimportant of
fices while some Incompetent is slipped
in the office that really counts; sec
ond, that the responsibility for acts or
non-acts of the administration is nar
rowed down to one officer, and the
oters need never be in doubt where
to place the blame or praise.
As Mark Twain makes Pudd'nhead
Wilson say, "Put all your eggs in one
basket, and watch that basket."
The Federal plan has been adopt
ed by German municipalities with a
few important exceptions, such as the
chief executive being hired by the leg
islative body instead of being elected
by the people. In Germany, the coun
cils are held responsible by the vot
ers for good or bad government. The
duties of a mayor are considered a-much cheaper are they than if you

Fruit growers of Washington county
will form an organization to pack and
sell fruit similar to the Hood River
association. State Horticultural Com
missioner J. H. Reid of Milwaukie
gave a talk to the Washington grow
ers recently, saying among other
things that the "fruit growers and pack
ers of Oregon must make up their
minds to send nothing but sound fruit
to market the coming season, as any
wormy, scabby, scaley or diseased
fruit would te confiscated and des
troyed. The death of President Goode, of
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company will not change the plan3 of
that company for the Improvement
and additions to its property In this
city, says an official of the big cor
poration. Lots of work for everybody

Down With the Catalogue House.
When the catalogue comes from
your mall order house, draw an easy
chair to the table where the light will
shine full on the pages. What a won
derful book It Is, but we miss the
things we would be glad to see. Where
is their otter to pay cash or exchange
goods for your oats, wheat, spuds, but
ter and eggs? How much do they pay
for cattle, sheep and hogs? How much
tax will they pay to support your
schools and educate your children and
help erect public buildings? For im
proving roads and bridges, for the sup
port of the poor of the county, for
the expenses of running the business
of the county and state? On which
page Is their offer to contribute money
for the support of the church? What
amount of credit will they extend to
you when your crops are poor and
money gone, when through Illness or
misfortune you are not able to send
"Cash with your order," for your groc
eries, clothing, ranch tools and crock
ery? In short will they do anything to
provide a market for what you have
to sell, and thereby keep the value of
your estates? Will they do anything
for a social, church, school or gov
ernment support or do they take your
dollars out of the community with no
return except the goods you buy? Af

This new line of high candle-power lamps signalizes

High Efficiency Lamp with Distributing Molopliane Reflector.
Appreciating the great gain in lighting secured by
the use of proper reflectors, there has been designed for
use with the new lamps a special line of Holophane
Pagpda shades, which, when used with the new lamps
form a brilliant and highly effective lighting combination.
Two kinds of reflectors are provided, the distributing
or D" form which is shown above, and which is recom
mended where wide areas are to be illuminated, and the
concentrating or form of reflector which is admirably
adapted for use in show-window lighting or wherever a
concentration of light fs desirable.
The GEM lamp with its Holophane Glass reflector
forms a brillant lighting combination and merits the at

improvement of lighting facilities,
