H., and Pottsville, Oil City and Franklin, Pa. The applications in every case are based upon increasing costs of operation. The companies are not looking for "war profits." They ask consideration of con ditions entirely beyond their control that make impossible the continuance of adequate service within present limits of revenue. We have about all the problems confronting other street railways and some pe culiar to ourselves. NONE OF THE OTHER COMPANIES NOW SEEKING RELIEF AND NONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED HIGHER FARES IS PAYING AS HIGH WAGES AS WE DO IN PORTLAND, AND THEY - ARE ALL ON A TEN-HOUR OR MORE BASIS.

' The chestnut mare tried hard to hold the place against the steady drive of St. Frisco, which never faltered when headed and the speed with which they traveled the last quarter mile, 294 seconds, was too much for Cox's mare.
