DALY (Continued From Page One.) operating expenses of the bureau, not including bond interest or sinking fund payments, amounted to $370, 998.71. The total was $395,574,64 in 1910; $1,567,416 in 1911; $1,117,195. in 1912; $1,080,331.84 in 1913; $773, 615.79 in 1914; $708,586.03 in 1915 an 1 $575,772.46 in 1916. This decrease in operating cost has been brought about by the application of strict business methods in the con duct of the bureau since 1913, when the bureau passed under the. Jurisdic tion of the department of public utili ties, and, while the book showing con sidered alone is meritorious, the ef ficiency of the department in public service which does not show on the cost ledger, is also noticeable. Money Saved to Home Owners. Prior to 1913. service connections were made by plumbers, hired by prop erty owners to do the work, and as a result of faulty service rendered there was continual complaint and difficulty between the consumers and the bureau. One of the first acts of the depart ment of public utilities was to secure the passage of an ordinance providing for the installation of all service con nections by the city and their main tenance for a term of 10 years. As a result, this work has been performed since that time at a. cost of approxi mately 30 per cent less to the con sumer, while complaints of Inferior work and overcharges have ceased. It is estimated that this item alone ef iected a saving of money to consum ers during 1916 of approximately $5000. The bureau has also checked and platted all services and their con nections throughout the city, thus making it possible for any property owner to locate blind connections with out the expensive prospecting that used to bo necessary. Free Map Prepared. In this connection a field atlas has been prepared for the use of district l'oremen, which enables them to give prompt relief in the case of broken mains or otner trouoie in tneir re spective districts. The city has been organized into districts, making It pos sible to meet the calls for water serv ice to be turned on or off in much le33 time than formerly. A quarterly billing system has also been Installed under which water con sumers are billed quarterly instead of monthly. This has resulted in a sav ing of $95,944.07 since its inception De cember 1, 1914, due to lessened posta.fi;, stationery, clerical and collection work. Tn connection with this system the plan has been adopted of billing the con sumers in sections, as a result of which a greatly reduced force of collectors, working steadily from one section of the city to another, has been able to handle the work with less cost and at the same time with less confusion or congestion. Inspection Increases Revenue. From 1913 up to and including No vember 30, 1916, the bureau made 40,555 Inspections of premises throughout the city. As a result of these Inspections the annual revenue of the bureau was increased $14,383.0 through the dis covery of cases where consumers were not paying in proportion to the water used or the class of service provided. While the efficiency of the service tendered by the bureau has been In creased, the payroll of the bureau has been decreased. It was $34S,938.62 in 1914, $301,630.25 in 1915 and $227,043.6'i In 1916. Forest Grove Gives Gas Franchise Portland Company Expected to Put Plant la This Summer Council Puts Ban on Storage or powder. Forest Grove, Or.. May 12. The Portland Gas & Coke Co. has been granted a 25 year franchise to furnish gas for heating and cooking purposes only, so long as the city owns and operates its own electric light plant, by .the Forest Grove city council. Ife is understood that the company will have its system installed here this summer, as the mains are now being laid in Cornelius.- Hillsboro has also granted the company the fran chise. The company is to furnish the same quality of gas and at the same rate as is furnished in Portland. Three story buildings, except p'rl vate residences, must be equipped with fire escapes for. each street front. The buildings in Forest Grove which are three stories are the Forest Grove ho tel, the First National bank building the high school and the Knights of Pythias hall, this bill having passed the final reading by the council. Storage of explosives in the city limits was also sent to limbo. Gun powder up to five pounds and any ex plosives up to one pound may be kept in a metal container, provided it la kept away from the heat ; and gun powder up to 60 pounds and 1000 blast ing caps may be kept in a fireproof magazine on wheels and within 10 feet of the street entrance. It will be necessary for the local hardware stores to build powder houses out of town to accommodate their trade. , - " Garden Owners Are Making Complaints Trespassers Hare Ho Kegard for Cul tivated Patches and Dogs ul Chick ens Are Doinjr llucn Damage. About two weeks ago Will H. Daly, commissioner of public utilities, tried to get the city council to pass an ordi nance aimed to protect vacant lots now under cultivation from trespassers and nuisances. The council, principally by the votes of Mayor Albee ami Commis sioner Baker, turned the proposal down. These two declared there was sufficient law on the subject already. Now, however, complaints are begin ning to flood the mayor's office from persons cultivating vacant lots. They declare not only do persona walk across the gardens, but that the gar dens are being torn up by dogs, chick ens, pigeons and other animals and fowls. Mayor Albee says the best he can Jo is to instruct the police to enforce ordinances prohibiting dogs and chick ens from running at large, and has so instructed the patrolmen.

A light drizzle of rain that fell I throughout the day and the lack of the : usual number of high school guests failed to hamper Oregon's festivities during the second day cf the twelfth annual Junior week end . Friday morning was given over to 1 cleaning the campus and the adjoining grounds. Gangs of under-class men, bossed by. the seniors, built two walks I on tne campus, cave the O Its an nual coat of lemon-yellow, and raised ! one of the bridges on the historic mill- i race.

Besides a bevy of maids of honor, who attended Miss Kingsley, were some 200 co-eds., who 1 marched behind the queen's float. j Phi Gamma Delta won permanent i possession of the inter-fraternity baseball trophy by trimming Delta Tau Delta before a large crowd on the Cemetery Ridge field. The score was 10 to 1. The game was nip and tuck up to the fourth inning, when the Fijis drove over eight runs on Pitcher Furney. Errors and ragged playing accounted for Phi Gamma Delta's easy win. The senior class presented "The Climbers'' in the Eugene theatre at night before a large audience of stu dents and townspeople. Philomath Wins Property Titles Philomath, Or., May 12. Word was received yesterday by Professor T L. Bpley, president of Philomath col- lege, mat j uage OKipwortn naa handed down his decision in the mat ter of suit contesting title to the Mclyain property, quieting the title and establishing right in fee simple to the college. In the year 1910 Samuel McClain, a settler of the early BO's and an old friend of Philomath college, died, leaving no heirs. At various times Mr. McClain had been a liberal subscriber to the needs' of the college. In 1889, in 1900 an 1 again in 1907, he deeded various tracts of land to the college and dur ing the last years of his life the man agers of the college provided him a good home, comforts and care. After the death of Mr. McClain title to these properties was called into question and suit instituted to set aside the deeds. These suits were in the courts for nearly seven years. or until Judge Sklpworth's recent de cision ended the suit in favor of the college. The value of the land, at the pres ent time is about $15,000. Booth-Kelly Has Raised Daily Pay Kugene, Or., May 12. The Booth Kelly Lumber company has announced wage increase averaging 50 cents day foe all workmen in the woods and mills at Springfield and Wendling. The lowest wage to be paid under the new scale Is $2.50 for common labor. The company last month carried 757 men on the payroll. The average num ber regularly employed is about 600. S. P.

"The Conquest of the Nyanza," the wild animal classic pageant which is the newest feature in circusdom and 1 the first wild animal pageant in the i history of the drama, taken one back to the old days of the barbaric Spartan games whose daring and splendor ha.i lived down through countless ages. So says Miss Estella Kahn, who iios come to Portland again, to announce that the Al G. Barnes- wild animal circus will be here Monday and Tues day. Miss Kahn is another one of Mr. Barnes' live wire "advance men,"' and though petite, she has a supply of gorgeous adjectives that would make a circus poster hide its face in shame. Continuing, Miss Kahn asserts that it has taken Mr. Barnes seven years to perfect "this glorious, dazzling, awe inspiring spectacle, and this season, for the first time, he has staged for the public this ma&tadonic culmination of human picturesque endeavor." Barnes first saw the great Nyanza country while hunting with the Roose velt party some years ago. It was there that he conceived the idea of using the wild magnificence of that country as a ground work for a wild animal pageant. In carrying out the scheme, Mr. Barnes uses 1000 beasts of the Jungles, with their natural sur roundings and colorings. The Barnes circus will be here two days, Monday and Tuesday, and will give two performances each day. At 10:30 a two-mile six-band street pa rade will be given. Floyd Jenkins Dies. Castlerock.

Cheerful despite fearful sacrifices, willing to undergo personal hard ships and content with a morsel of food if necessary, the men. women and children of England are working harmoniously in the endeavor to win this war against Prusslanism. This is the declaration of H. S. 'Wellcome, prominent London resident, who Is a Tortland guest. Mr. Wellcome painted an optimistic picture of war condi tions. Mindful of the task that con fronts the allies, he predicts victory. Duly grateful for the entry of the American ally, Mr. Wellcome, predicts that the end of the kaiser's dominance is near and certain. "England was as unprepared when her armies tackled this war as Amer ica pretends to be today,'" he said. "She was able to send out but a hand ful of soldiers against the German invaders. Putting on the armor by sections, continually hammering at the hard problem, she finally succeed ed in raising a formidable army. I will not say how many men we now have in the field. It would not be policy for me to do so. Rich and Poor Cooperate. "As for meeting the submarine menace, we are confident that the seas will eventually be swept of the menace.

Strikes, which bothered us for a time, ceaese to be a source of worry. These labor troubles were sporadic in nature and difficulties were quickly adjusted. Labor is receiving fabulous prices. The workers in the munitions plants are prospering as never before. Social life has been somewhat curbed. Outward display is not thought of in the gen eral plan of cooperation. "Mounted women Red Cross workers, such as has been proposed in Portland, has already been tried successfully in certain battle zones. The work 19 a worthy one."
