Hood River, Or., Jan. 9. The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Far
mers' Irrigation company was held this
afternoon, with about 250 stockholders
present.
An effort to amend the by-laws pro
viding for the election of three direc
tors to serve .three years; two, two
years, and two. one year was laid on
the table, in favor of ,a plan of electing
the entire board each year.
The proposition of Installing an elec
tric light and power plant precipitated
a strenuous debate. 'Roy D. Smith read
a report of State Railroad Commis
sioner Aitchison, and the author was
severely criticised for his attitude on
proposed regulation of light and power
companies by seeking to eliminate com
petition, and the sentiment was , ex
pressed that the author would do little
to assist development of competitive
plants.- Aitchison was accused ef cater
ing to "big business."
Dr. J. F. Watt,'' chairman of the
Etate commission 'to draft the bill pro
viding for the organization of rural dis
tricts to bond for the construction of
light and power plants, opposed the
proposition of the irrigation company
to construct a competitive eystemin
Hood River. Dr. Watt was one of the
owners of Hood River hydro-electrjcj
plant, now owned by the Pacific Power
& Light company.
The committee appointed last year to
investigate the company's possibilities
for power development, reported that
about $800 had been spent in develop
ment work, on the' river, and that a
1200 horse power plant could Je built
for approximately $175,000.
The stockholders voted to hold the
present water right, " and delay fur
ther action, -until the proposed bill
creating rural municipalities for public
utilities development has been acted
upon by the state legislature.

for the ensuing year: August Ging

features of the Pianola Piano and have
been "rebuilt" with adequate music
roll tracking devices, thus containing
now the only really practical guiding
device without which no modern 88
note Player Piano can be considered
qualified to perform its functions. In
tone quality these Weber, and Steck,

Pianos will be found the equal of, if
not the positive superior of any in

more used Pianola Pianos, but also in

$332.50. Less than what the piano part
of it alone costs to make and with free
