IN PINK AND BLACK .
The quaintest of straw bonnets is
shown in the drawing above, the
shape is slightly on that of the poke,
with a narrow rever turning back
from the face in the front and open
ing in the back. The crown which
is high and square is completely gircP
led by a flat band of broad velvet rib
boa and huge brow at the back.
Around the upper edge of this is a
garland of pale pink roses and leaves.
From this springs a puffed crown of
delicate pink tulle over cream. A hat
of this type would, of course, be ap
propriate with lingerie gowns.

BROWN DEPOSITS
BLOCK OF VOTES

they are made to realize the true ex
cellence of the Enterprise, it is not
hard to get them to put down for a
year or so. Mr. Browa called at the
office yesterday and deposited a nice
block of votes. While rather non
committal on the subject, it is pre
sumed that he is holding, back a good
big block of votes.
Mr. Brown realizes what a great
help the automobile would be to him
In his business it is necessary for him
to cover a good deal of ground which
takes time and considerable effort
when done on foot and costs too much
to hire a conveyance. But a free aut
omobile appeals to him as honey does
to a bee or water to a fish.
Miss McCord visited the office yes
terday morning for a new receipt book
which shows the progress this young
lady is making. She is a worker
through and through and is going to
continue the fight right straight
through. The McCord farm, famed
throughout the county, not only for
the fertility of the soil, but also for
the hospitatility of the owners, is in
the famous Twilight neighborhood and
is something more than two miles
from Oregon City Too far
to walk to town but hardly far enough
to bother hitching up a team So
Miss McCord says she is going to sim
plify matters by winning the car. Her
popularity in the city makes it essen
tial that she attend a great many
social functions, which will be eas-
It has been the constant policy of the Company to give good service at reason
able rates. The Company is more interested than anybody else in building up a bigger,
busier and better Portland, and it fully recognizes the important Influence of low rates
and good service. The new lighting rate is 9, 7 and 4c per kilowatt hour. Details of
this reduction and the conditions Involved can be secured upon application at any of
the Company's offices. Several months will be required to change over the 31,000 ac
counts which this reduction in lighting rates will affect.. In order that our patrons may
be put to the least possible inconvenience, new contracts will be mailed beginning May
1st; The Company earnestly requests that these be signed, witnessed and returned to
the Company's representative in Oregon City as promptly as possible, thus avoiding
v ;
the possibility of waiting in line at the office.

Sheahan, with his big Schacht car,
should have no trouble in getting out
over the county to get votes. Joe is
imbued with the optimism of youth
and is confident that he will be the
lucky individual in this contest when
the final count is taken in June. That
confidence doea not keep him from
working, however, for he is right aft
er votes all the time.
Wilson, the other high school aspir-,
ant, also has a car which may become
a determining factor in this rae. It
is hard to tell where Kent got those
20,000 votes that he dropped into the
race with, but as the early miners
used to say, "Where there is one gold
bearing pocket, there must be others."
So look out for Wilson He may be
making another pocket right now
But the big question to all the can
didates is, "Who is going to win tne
two special prizes aext Saturday"
The prize for the Special Fifteen Day
contest is the $15 merchandise certi
ficate while the person who deposits
the most votes next Saturday gets
2,000 votes free.
