WATER SERVICE MADE
BETTER AT LESS COST
UNDER WILL H. 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.

up to the fourth inning, when the

accounted for Phi Gamma Delta's easy
win.
The senior class presented "The

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.

ANIMAL PAGEANT IS
ilRST.OF THE KIND
'The Conquest of the Nyanza'
Is Wild Animal Classic to
Be Presented in Portland.
"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.

Persons of Title Are Working
Shoulder to Shoulder With
Common Folk, Says Visitor
SELF-DENIAL IS PRACTICED
H. s. Wellcome of Xion&on, Who Is In
Portland, Says Defeat for Germany
Xs Sure to Come.
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. Yankee brains may solve the
problem. It may fall to the honor of
an Englishman or a Frenchman. But
come it will. The English channel is
still open, thousands of soldiers and
equipment and munitions and food
stuffs going across right along. We
will never starve. Not so long as
there is soil to till and patriotic men
anj women and children to labor.
"In England the wealthy and the
persons of title ar working shoulder
to shoulder with the less favored
class. Scions of noble blood are Jump
ing into the figh. without waiting for
commissions. Daughters of the well-to-do
are helping.
"Celf-denlal and economy are being
practiced. We are wearing our old
clothes and giving money and goods

Iiabor Troubles Orercome.
"Shipbuilding is being rushed.
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.

such as has been proposed in Portland,

A Bigger Business
"Better roads will build your busi

coined by C. W. Walls of Fossil.
In a letter to Bruce Dennis, execu

a check for the road bond campaign.
The people of Wheeler county, ac
cording to Mr. Walls, are enthusiastic
in their support of the road bond bill,

Price of Flowers,
Despite Sentiment j
Makes Big Advance
Mother's Day has been "cap-
italixed" by the florists.
The cost of sentiment has in-
creased 25 per cent, which
means that red and white car-
nations which mill be worn in
honor of "Mother's Day" Sun-
day, will cost $1 a dozen.
Local growers attribute the
t boost in prices to the extraor-4-
dlnary demand. Retailers say
they are compelled to raise the
ft price which is fixed by the
producers.
ifr Pink carnations are selling
St- at the usual price, 75 cents a
dozen. News comes from San
Francisco that the price of car-jfe-
nations there has increased
e from 25 cents to 50 and 75 cents
a dozen. Dealers in the Golden
Gate city attribute the high
costs to the "trust agreement"
between the Japanese growers

POTATO DEALERS ARE

PENALIZE PORTLAND
Denial Made, However, by

After calling upon potato dealers In

ft'Crabtree, Or., has reported to W. H.
Crawford, secretary of the state fool
i preparedness campaign committee,
jthat the dealers Intend to sail outside
of Portland supplies of potatoes which
they have been holding in storage
; here.
Mr- Easton declared that the scheme.
as explained to him, grows first out
of a desire to penalize the city be-
cause of the mayor's, criticism of per-
: second because they fear governmental
! authority may commandeer supplies.
i Easton. that stocks in storage her
were not in excess of the usual reserv
'needed to supply the city's demand-
until digging time.
"There is no such plan." declared
I G. L. Davenport, one of the large deal
jers. "I think perhaps gome one may
have made such a statement to Mr
Easton in order to persuade him t-
sell his potatoes. I can think of no
other reason As a matter of fact, a
iarge proportion of the potatoes which
were found here in storage were po
tatoes bought up some time ago by
outslde interests and stored here while
awaiting transportation. These buyers
were more vexed than anyone else be
cause the car shortage made storage
necessary."
