PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER COMPANY takes a great deal of pleasure
in announcing to the citizens of Oregon City and the surrounding territory an import
ant reduction in its electric light and power rates.

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

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

Individual Stars Pad Big League
Baseball Clubs' Gate Receipts
"' 4 k 4 4.
Team With Bright Particular Headliner
Reaps the Golden Harvest
TY COBB MAGNET FOR ALL FANS
By TOMMY CLARK.
INDIVIDUAL stars may not win
pennants in the baseball Mara
thon, but it takes these same pas
timers extraordinary to bolster up
the gate receipts. It's the real driving
force, the gent behind the big wallop
or the pitching marvel that brings the
gplden shekels jingling into the box
office. The same condition existed thir
ty years ago and today is admittedly
one of the' potent reasons baseball
stands alone as the national game.
Every club in the parent body of or
ganized ball has its bright particular
headliner, and in the American league
every club save perhaps the lowly
Browns boasts some player who stacks
up among the truly greats. Twinkling
with some luster like the light planted
under the basket Bert Shotten of the
Mound City troupe may carve his niche
this season, for here's an outfielder who
Is touted to be the fastest man in cap
tivity over the route from the plate to
first base.
Tigers Rich In Stars. "
Lack of stars on a big league team
shows in the receipts. But President
Navin of the Detroit club hasn't been
heard to murmur a word of complaint
along this line in recent years. Happy
in the possession of fan idols such as
Tyrus Cobb, Bill Donovan, Donie Bush,
Hughey Jennings, Sam Crawford and
Oscar Stanuge. the Tiger magnate can
well afford to "mitt" himself on the
forecast for another season of prosper
ity. One day last summer" Connie Mack,'
the slim sachem of the all powerful
Athletics, admitted the Tigers were
outdrawing bis machine three to two.
Despite the brilliant record and daily
achievements of the pennant winners,
the Jennings clan continued to play
before great throngs.
Pressed for his solution of this phe
nomenon, Connie opined:
"The young man in center field,"
meaning Cobb, "is the main reason."
And so it goes all along the liue.
What would become of the White
Sox without "Big Ed" Walsh, Harry
Lord, Jimmy Callahan, Doc White
or Billy Sullivan?" is a query oft heard.
Or, "How could the Senators pay sal
aries without Walter Johnson and Ger
many Schaefer?" Then, again. "Where
would Brooklyn stand without Nap
Rucker and Jake Danbert?"
In Hughey Jennings the Detroit club
possesses a field general who bas been
baseball's greatest card for many ySafa.
Unique with his whistle, never flagging
fighting spirit and grotesque feats of
grass eating, the speckled warrior by
his originality has added several thou
sands to President Navin's treasury.
Fans Follow Georgian.
Ranked a9 the most brilliant player
of all time, Tyrus Cobb makes the best
kind of press agent for his club. No

kers are playing at home these same

" Great players on both teams at Phil
adelphia make the rivalry between the
American and National -forces there
even more bitter than in any other city
under the major colors. The cham
pion Athletics on form should shade
the Phillies, for Mack has molded his
playing monarchs from such "finds" as
Chief Bender, Jack Coombs, Eddie
Plank, Eddie Collins, Jack Barry.

rarely cross the river to root for the
Cubs, while the west side legion holds
much the same feeling toward the pale
hosed gentry.
" Keen Rivalry In Chicago.
In the days when Overall. Kling,
Steinfeldt and Chance were going at
top speed and working in unison with
the other stars of the Cub outfit this
team was undoubtedly the chief mag
net for the fan populace the country
over, yet at the same time Comiskey's
white shins were drawing capacity
crowds, presenting such celebrities
as Fielder Jones. Nick Altrock, Jiggs
Donahue. Walsh and Sullivan. For the
coming season the south siders have
prospects of another era of prosperity,
with Cal Bodie, Lord, Walsh. White.
Scott and Lange in the service.
New York's major clubs, the Giants
and Highlanders, iare. rich in topnotch
ers, but the American Leaguers never
have been the attraction that the Polo
Ground terrors have been. Save in
the case of Hal Chase, Birdie Cree and
Russell Ford the Yanks present a
very ordinary battle front On the
other hand, the "Joints" take the field
exploiting men like Mathewson, Mey
ers, Doyle and Merkle, with the whole
party under the managerial eye of the
little Napoleon. J. McGraw. Certainly
this is a drawing card for the fans.
At Boston the prestige of recent
years has been with the Red Sox, a
fast formidable aggregation, with
only one real phenoom, Tris Speaker.
The other members of this team have
at all times been hard workers, but the
name of Speaker is first to flash across
the screen when one starts to fanfare
regarding the strength of this club.

of his comedy business. The Pirates

Babe Adams present three great stars,
