Local Districts Affected Investigation to the end that a satisfactory electrical extension policy might be adopted was init iated on motion of the public ser vice commission, and has been under way for several years. A number of hearings have been held, one of which occupied sev eral days in Salem last summer. The latter conference was attend ed by the heads of practically all of the important electric utilities in the state. As a result of the policy adop ted by the commission one com munity lying east of Salem, prob ably will petition for electrical service within the next few weeks. Othera localities of Marion coun- y probably will follow. The Au burn and West Salem districts are among those considering applying Rule 7. Contruet'on of rules. f n T1j ntmvo rtili h.ill nut . .

OGDEN. I tah, Feb. 11. Oov ernor I). W. Davis, of Idaho, in a Lincoln Day banquet address here tonight, uttered a plea for a re turn to the doctrine of party or ganization. "There is a dangerous mental condition which is breeding the spirit of the mob," said the gov ernor, "the belief in the power of wealth, and developing hypoc risy in seekers after political pref erences." The governor said the Republi can party was faced with the task of restoring the people's confi dence in themselves and good gov ernment. To do this "he said the4 party leaders should preach the old time doctrine of party organi zation. There is no other way to effect reform except through party organization, he declared.

LOUIS, Feb. 11. a resume of the work accomplished by the Republican party, in both state and national affairs was girsn by Congressman Charles L. Faust tonight in an address at a ban quet of the association of young Republicans or Missouri, marking the closing event of the annual celebration of the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. Agriculture is recognized as the greatest single contributing source of the nation's prosperity, he said, "and with that in mind, congress passed five acts, having for their object the betterment of farm con ditions and stimulating the busi ness of farming. In addition, a farmer's confer ence was called to inquire into causes and suggest remedies."
