USE OF ELECTRICITY
I SLATED TO INCREASE
Rapid Strides Taken in Inte
rior Illumination.
PROGRESS. IS AMAZING
Pacific Light & Power. Companj
FManager Returns From Na
'" tional Convention.
Predictions of a substantial in
crease in the use of electrical energy
and electrical devices during the
coming year. In the home as well as
in business and manufacturing estab
lishments, formed the outstanding
feature of the annual convention of
the National Electric Light associ
ation recently held at Atlantic City,
according to Lewis A McArthur, gen
eral manager of the Pacific Power &
Light company, who returned to Port
land last week, after several weeks
spent in the east.
"The great body of delegates at the
convention felt that there are many
new uses for electricity, particularly
In the home, which should be Intro
duced generally," he said. "Among
the appliances mentioned were the
refrigeration machine, the kitchen
power unit and the dishwasher. The
hope was expressed that it would be
possible to put these on the market
at prices that would permit their use
by average families. It wis also
brought out that with the increased
use ef electric ranges, lroners, wash
ing machines and similar devices it
might be possible to ; get reduced
crioes based on quantity production.
There seems to be a loud demand for
a low-priced refrigerator and a low
priced lroner and there was declared
to be a probability that something
would beaccomplished for turning
out these within the year."
Illumination la Advanced.
Mr. McArthur said that the conven
tion brought out the fact that won
derful strides had been taken with
interior Illumination during the past
year. .
"The exhibit of new types of direct,
emi-direct and indirect lights shown
during the convention was wonder
ful. It showed that hundreds of thou
sands of homes could have their In
terior Illumination improved at rea-
eonauie cuetB.
"Among the new showings was the
detachable type of fixture recently
developed to plug into special ceiling
and wall receDtacles. The plug can
be used on nearly all existing wall
and eeiline- fixtures and a standard
term will be produced by nearly all
wiring supply manufacturers, mis
meanH that in the future many wall
and ceiling fixtures will be plugged
directly Into the wall or ceiling wiiu
out screwing and soldering."
: Use on Coast Greatest.
-Mr. McArthur said that reports
given out at the gathering showed
that generally speaking there is a
greater use of electricity on the Pa
cific coast than in any other section
of the country. This section was
also said to stand well toward the
head in the matter of customer own-
ershin of oublic utility securities.
While at Atlantic City Mr. Mc
Arthur displayed a series of 100
colored lantern slides showing the
property of the Pacific Power & Light
company and the territory it serves,
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
On his way back to Portland Mr.
McArthur stopped at Washington,
D. C, to take up the matter of the
revision of survey charts of the Co
lumbia river. The water soundings
nt the charts have been revised each
year, but the shore features have not
been revised for a number of years,
r-ninnpl E. Lester Jones, director of
th Roast survey, assured Mr. Mc
Arthur that a complete resurvey of
the Columbia river and its shores was
contemplated by his bureau. ,
Mr. McArthur was advised by tne
geological survey that the base map
of Oregon would be redrawn within
a year and that other survey work
would be taken up In Oregon this
summer. Including the completion of
the Lebanon quadrangle map ana a
topographic survey of part of the
Wallowa mountains.

CHURCHES' RENT TROLLEY
SUNDAy SCHOOL PCPILS USE
PRIVATE STREET CAR.
Rodney-Avenue and Woodlawn
Christian Congregations Trans
port Children to Studies.
Most folk have heard of or seen
mission cars or chapel cars that carry
tne gospel Into out-of-the-way places,
but there are comparatively few
Fortland people who are aware that
for more than a year past a "Sunday
school car," chartered by a church,
has been operated on a portion of the
system of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company's lines every
Sunday, yet such is the case.
Every Sunday morning a street car
leased by the consolidated Rodney
avenue and Woodlawn Christian
churches picks up the Sunday BChool
children gathered at the old Wood
lawn church building, and transports
them the 32 blocks to the site of the
Rodney-avenue building, where th
Sunday school sessions are now held.
Then the car takes the children back
to their home neighborhood, gathers
up tne oiaer people who want to at
tend the church service, and later
takes them back again making the
four- trips every Sunday forenoon.
This method of transportation has
solved the problem of holding the
two congregations together, said Rev.
Joseph Boyd, the pastor.
And now has come a movement to
provide a suitable new church edifice,
at a location about midway between
the two present church structures.
The new location will be at Mallory
and Alberta streets, where i tract
100 by 100 feet has' been .obtained.
On this It is proposed to erect a $60,
000 edifice for public services, social

Last Sunday a special drive was
made for funds for the proposed new
building, and more than half of the
required $60,000 was pledged. It Is
possible that some help will be re

fund, but this is not yet a certainty.
The official -board of the Rodney
avenue church is to. meet the first
of next week to decide whether the
new building shall be undertaken
this season. ,
