FIGHTS ON CARS ARE FEW Only IB During Year, According to City Railway Statistician. Portland citizens are the most law abiding and peaceable persons in the world, so declare the operating offi cials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company and they are ready to back up the statement with hard boiled facts and figures. Now comes the pugilistic statis tician of the big trolley corporation and remarks that there were a total of only 19 fights registered on all the cars operated by the company dur ing 1921. And the company keeps about 430 cars going 365 days in the year and during 1921 the company hauled 95.049.267 passengers, so there was only one fight for every 6,000,000 persons carried on the cars. The records show that these "fights" consisted of anything from slapping each other on the wrist to coats-and-vest s-of f-and-tos-t he-mark, and now and then slight bruises.

City Offi.lul Says Only One Other Municipality in Country Has Finer System of Parks. Ten thousand automobiles will visit Portland's auto camp during the coming year, was the prediction of S.
