The purpose of this issue of Gold
Notes is explained in the following:
To keep pace with the rapidly ex
panding requirements of the district
served by the company, this company
has steadily increased its invested
capital' to provide the facilities with
which it is rendering public service.
In the past these additional invest
ments of capital have come from out
side the Portland district. It ia the
purpose of the company to continue
to give good service and to expand
its facilities to meet the increasing
demands upon it. To accomplish
this large additional sums of capital
mut be procured. Investment in
these notes by the people of the dis
tricts served would be mutually ad
vantageous, in that the funds so in
Tested would be expended at home
and aid in the further development
of this territory, and would also pro
vide an attractive Investment. The
company frankly wishes to have fin
ancially interested in it as many as
possible of those served by it. The
expenditures for betterments and ad
ditions to the property of the com
pany during 1921 will exceed the
total amount of the note issue nowj
offered.
The company conducts a mosit es
sential business and by reason of
diversity of the demands for its ser
vice, its operations are not subject to
the violent fluctuations frequently ex
' perienced in the conduct of business
with a less diversity of use. The pub
lic generally throughout the nation
now recognize the essential nature
of the business conducted by public
utilities and the principles of regul
ation now in force are Intended to as
sure the public of adequate service at
reasonable rates and to protect hon
est investment competently managed.
Regulating authorities concede that
Supplementing this statement Presi
dent Franklin T. Griffith adds the
following in a letter just issued:
"The laborer is worthy of his hire.
This corporation is the most import
ant laborer in Oregon. Its operations
directly affect, benefit and serve near
ly one-half of the population of the
state. Its success depends upon the
character of its service' and the con
fidence reposed in it by the people it
serves. To possess and to merit that
confidence is and should be the aim
of every man and woman employed
in public service. Therein lies not
only the satisfaction of properly di
charging our duties to the public, but
also the certainty that if the public
Is satisfied it is willing to pay this
great laborer an adequate wage.
"There is always a demand for the
service to be rendered. That demand
is constantly Increasing. Our growth
and the growth of the communities
served hy us go hand in hand. We
must at least keep pace with the
demands for our service, and.
If possible, our facilities should al
ways be somewhat in excess of the
immediate requirements. This means
that additional investment must be
made steadily and continuously.
"Our operations provide steady em
ployment. They are not subject to
the violent changes frequently ex
perienced in other industries.
"We have passed through a critical
period. The costs of operation have
enormously increased in the last few
years and relief was slow In coming,
but I think we may now confidently
say that there is a wide-spread recog
nition of the right of such corpora
tions as ours to receive from the us
ers of their service an amount equival
ent to the cost of that service, and to
day there is also public recognition
of the principle that investment hon
estly made and competently admin
istered is. entitled to a fair return. Wo
may look forward, therefore, with
confidence that we will receive fair
treatment as long as we deserve it.
"Money to finance this company has
heretofore been sought principally
outside the state of Oregon. It is be
lieved that it would be mutually ad
vantageous if we, who are employes
by the corporation, and also the peo
ple directly served by the corporation,
should be financially interested in it.
With that purpose, the corporation Is
now offering to its, employes, its pat
rons and the public generally $1,000,
000 of 5-year Gold Notes bearing 8
per cent interest. The new invest
ment for additional facilities to be
made during the year J1921 will
materially exceed the amount of the
note issue now offered."

"I'm marrying him becausel love

He's a lot older than me," she con

STATE HOUSE, Salem, Ore.. Feb.
10. (Special to the Enterprise) As
the result of a compromise agreed up
on today by representatives of tne
fishermen of Oregon City, the State
Fiah Commission and the IT. S. Bur
eau of Fisheries, Senator Ryan's will
to change the fishing regulations af
fecting the Willamette river at Ore
gon City, will be amended in several
radical particulars.
Senator Ryan's original bill provid
ed that the dead line which since 1917
has been at the Clackamas county
line near the Oswego bridge, would
be moved to a point 600 feet below
the old fish ladder at the Oregon City
falls, and that the closed season
should extend from April first to May
tenth, and from June fifteenth to Dec.
first. Commercial fishing- south of
this dead-line would be prohibited en
tirely under the Ryan bill.
As a result of the compromise ef
fected today, the dead-line will be
fixed at the suspension bridge at Ore--
gon City and the closed season will
be from March fifteenth to May tenth
and August twenty-fifth to December;
in other words according to the fish
ermen, they have traded about two
and a half miles of open river for ten
days fishing, and while this is not en
tirely satisfactory to the fishermen,
they have agreed to abide by the de
cision. Undoubtedly the bill will be shot
through the senate without great oi
posftion but it was said tonight that
the sportsmen of the house are must
ering their strength to defeat the bill.
The main reason offered is that thfc
present laws were established by the
vote of the people and that the fish
ermen of Clackamas county should
not attempt to change them in the
legislature.
SALEM. Feb. 11. (Special to the
Enterprise) The Clackamas county
delegation, consisting of Stone, Shank
and Hammond agreed last night on
a salary increase for county super
intendent of schools here from $1400
to $1790, one-hundred, dollars more
than was originally asked for.
Other increases in salaries of Clack
amas county officials was turned
down by the delegation, however,
and the superintendent's raise will be
the only one asked before the salar
ies committee of the house and sen
ate. ...
It is expected that the bill will ap
pear soon before the house and will
be passed upon recommendation bi
the Clackamas delegation and salar
ies committees.-
SUES ON NOTE.
M. D. Latourette has entered suit
against Lizzie Nichols, J.JI. Mte and
J. A. Hite, to secure judgment in the
sum of $211.90, alleged due on a note
executed in plaintiff's favor by the
defendants in 1916.
When the Clackamas county dele-
fation of teachers arrived at Salem
yesterday evening for the purpose of
urging the passing of a bill favoring
a raise In salary of the county school
superintendent here, the delegation
ran up against a snag in the form of
Representative Shanks.
The teachers committee from here
was supposed to have met with the
Salaries Committee of the house, but
at the last minute, the chairman of
that committee was unable to attend
the meeting, and the delegation met
with Stone, Shanks and Hammond,
representatives, to talk things over.
The split occurred when an amend
ment was proposed to incorporate in
the salary bill of the superintendent
a clause raising the salary of all the
county officials of Clackamas. Fred
Miller, county clerk addressed the
gathering and gave statistics why the
salary of the clerk should be raised
here. Representative Shanks made a
fiat statement alleging that he was
opposed to any raise in salary out
side of that proposed for the county
school superintendent, and would not
favor an amendment to the bill in
corporating such items. Representa
tive Stone also did not favor the sal
ary raise of countyl officials, and Ham
mond was for the amendment saying
that the salaries of the county of
ficials f Clackamas were not equit
able.
Grant B. Dimick was present at the
meeting and spoke in favor of the
proposed amendment. County Clerk
Miller, Assessor Cooke and several
others also spoke. Representative
Shanks told the members of the teach
ers' committee and county officials
present that he -was in a very tight
place on the subject, but neverthe
less, would stand by his guns and de
feat any move to raise the salaries
of Clackamas county officers.
Mrs. Millie B. Altman, of Jennlng9
Lodge, was the spokesman for the
teachers before the Clackamas county
delegation aud made a strong plea in
favor of raising the county school
superintendent's salary here. Not ex.
pecting a monkey wrench to be
throws into the original bill's mach
inery, the teachers committee receiv
ed a jolt when the amendment was
proposed for the bill.
It 1st understood that the salaries
committee of the house and sen
ate, with whom the matter was
to have been discussed last night,
told the Clackamas county solons
that whatever they endorsed in the
way of salary boosts weuld be pushed
through. However, Representative
Shanks remains firm in his decision
and with Representative Stone, the
two will eventually kill the bill for a
larger salary for the school super
intendent, if an amendment is insist
ed upon carrying advance in salaries
for other county officials here. '
The amendment which caused the
split in the Clackamas county dele
gation would raise the pay of the
county judge from $1600 to $2400
county treasurer, from $1500 to
$2000; county clerk, from $1800 to
$2400; county recorder, from $1500 to
$1800; sheriff from $2100 to $2300;
assessor from $1500 to $1800. The
original bill carried a raise for the
county school superintendent from
$1400 to $1600.
The members of the teachers com
mittee and other county officials who
were present last night at the meet
lng with the Clackamas couny dele
gation, will remain overnight at Salem
and try to get action before the salar
ies committee this morning.
PORTLAND, Feb. 10. Fred S. Mor
ris of the wrecked bond house of Mor
ris Bros., Inc., was arrested on a se
cret indictment returned by the fed
eral grand jury, charging fraud ,in
connection with the naturalization of
John L. Etheridge, ex-president of the
firm. Shortly after his attorneys) haa
been notified ' of the federal action
Morris appeared at the United States
marshal's office and deposited bail
in the sum of $2000. He made no
comment.
A second secret indictment, also of
general public interest, was that re
turned against E. W. Ellis, ex-presl
dent and general manager of the
Hazelwood company, which was re
cently defendant in. federal prosecu
tion for the misbranding; of butter.
The Hazelwood company, dealers in
produce, is in nowise connected with
restaurants or other business con
cerns of the same name. Ellis, who
furnished bail of $1000, is charged
with selling adulterated and mis
branded butter, with full knowledge
of its nature.
Both Morris and Ellis will be tried
in federal court at dates later to be
announced. The secret indictments
against them were returned Wednesr
day, but action to arrest the two de
fendants was delayed until yesterday.
The charge against Morris centers
in his participation ia the naturaliza
tion proceedings whereby John L.
Etheridge, then his employe and busi
ness associate, transferred his citizen
ship from Great Britain to this coun
try. Three separate counts are nam
ed in the indictment. The first
court alleges that on March 1, 1918,
Morris "willfully, unlawfully and
feloniously" aided Etheridge to be
come a citizen by giving false testi
mony as to the moral character of
the applicant. It is charged that Mor
ris;, fully cognizant of the prison rec
ord of Btheridtge, failed to acquaint
Federal Judge Bean with facts relat
ing to the applicant's imprisonment
in New Jersey.
