Extra Electric .Illumination tn

Portland business men paid f ,1 00, for
the illumination of the streets ia the
business center during the last five
months. There ...were 8,000 incandes
cente. 300 to the block. The charge of
the Portland General Electric company
was f70 month for-each of the 29
blocks that were lighted, bringing the
total expense to 19,100, at the rate of
$1,1120 a month. I
The electric company has offered to
reduce the cost to $50 a block a month,
giving an hour lona-er service from 1
o'clock to midnight Instead of from 2
o'clock to midnight, which amounts to
a reduction of 45 per cent, and makes
the total cost under the new arrange
ment 11,300 a month. ,
It ia probable that ' the offer of the
company will be accepted.

Reno. Nev., Oct. 21. Two hundred or
more people in Reno and vicinity were
engaged all evening in watching a
strange star that came over the horl
son northeast of Reno shortly after
dark. Its weirdly bright colors were
changing constantly. They were first
yellow, then red, then green. They
changed so rapidly that ths star cannot
help but attract attention. Dean Wil
son of the University of Nevada, to
gether with' Professor PenHmorc, had
their glasses turned on the strange phe
nomenon. - "It is a star certainly," said Professor
Densmore, "but one of the queerest H
have ever seen. I cannot account either
for its else or the cause of the varied
colors it contains.''

Portland's public school teachers did
not receive, yesterday, the Increase In
salaries ttity expected under the "mer
it system."- adopted last spring by the
board of school directors. r
The teachers did not receive the pro
posed Increase in salaries because the

City Superintendent Rigler, Principal
T. T. Davis of the High school and
Ward . Principals J. Burnbam and J.
T. Gregg had never presented a report to
the school board ahowlng what teachers
were entitled to be placed on the merit
list. The plan of introducing the merit
system was adopted merely by the board
and until the commission reports the
teachers who are entitled to the increaae
of $t a month by being placed oh the
list they cannot give them the raise."
The commission haa had but one meet
ing and did nothing definite, as Pro
fessor Burnham was not present ' The
reason for the delay of the commission
is said to be the unsettled state of mind
of the members of the board regarding
putting the merit ' system into effect

; SIDE SCHOOL FAVORED
District end Alumni Will Probably
Raise Funds for Two Timepieces
and Misleading Hands WiU No
Longer Be Cause of Confusion.
For the purpose of discussing the ad
visability of replacing the- "dummy
clock on the tower of the High achool
building-with a real one, members of
the school board met informally yester
day with J. A. Bigelow, . representative
of an eastern firm which manufactures
clocks. Members of the board who at
tended the meeting were Mrs. Sltton.
Mr. Beech and Mr. Flelschner. '
It was suggested that a clock be
placed on the new east side high school
if one were, placed on the west- side
building. The suggestion -met with the
approval of the members, and it ia
likely that clocks will be placed In the
tower of each ' building. A suggestion
was also made regarding the placing of
smaller clocks in each room of the two
buildings. The smaller clocks will be
connected with the larger ones, and will
be a part of the same system.
It is estimated that the two clocks
will coat about fi.OOO, and various plans
have been suggested to - raise that
amount. It lute been urged that the
school board appropriate certain por
tion and the balance be raised by pop
ular subscription. It is stated that the
alumni of the high school have ' ex
pressed a willingness to contribute to
the fund.-''- t - i " '--" ;
In discussing the matter I. N. Fleleeh-
tier, a member of the School board.
declared that th plan to raise a part of
the -required amount by popular sub
scription waa most generally favored.
He stated his willingness to subscribe
the sum of 150.

' "By coming down the Deschutes route
Mr. Gould would miss the upper part
of the Willamette valley, but would have

Cascades at Crescent lake and down the

country. It is a "standoff so far as
business prospects are concerned, snd
the main queetlon Is one of feasibility
In construction, and easy grades. This
question only the engineer can deter
mine, and I am certain that today Mr, .
Gould has no Idea as to the route he'
will ultimately adopt tn reaching Port

For a long time Thomas Hawley and
the Flannagana of Cooe bay . have been
trying to secure development of the
country between Roseburg and Coos
bay points by construction of sn sleotrtc
road. Mr. Hawley wea formerly presi
dent ' of the Coos Bay- eV Eastern, a -steam
road between Myrtle Point and ,
Cooe bay.. It waa his smbltlop to con
nect this with a line to Roseburg, which
would V have been of Immense benefft '
to that" region, giving it railroad connec
tion with the main line of the Southern
Pacific to Portland- Since the Southern
Pftclflo Is to build from Praln to Marsh- v1
field this connection will be gained by .
another route than via Roaeburg, and
the Roseburg people are still anxious to
secure trade connection with the Coos
bay country, and a direct outlet to the
see. They alao want competition in rail
transportation to Portland. .It, Is said .
that Mr. Hawley haa Interested a firm
of Philadelphia bankers, Rhodes, St.
Clair Butcher. In a project to con
struct an electrle line between Portland,
Balemj Eugsne and Roseburg. It Is pro-
posed to generate power on the Santiam '
