The Portland Railway. Light
& Power company is in the best
physical and financial condition
it has ben in eight years; it spent
more money last year for improve
ments and betterments than in
any year for the past decade; it
increased its surplus over 15 per
cent 'n the past 12 months, and
the future looks more promising
than ever. President Franklin T.
Griffith reported to the stock
holders at their recent meeting.
That there is every reason to ex
pect that the company's earnings
will continue to increase was a
prediction made in the president's
report.
Among the important features
covered in President Griffith's
statement to the stockholders
were the following:-
"During the first six months
of 1921 the earnings of the city
railways showed increases over
the coresponding months of 1920,
due to the fact that the compari-
fson was made between an eight-
cent fare in 1921 against a six
cent fare in the first half of 1920.
The number of passengers car
ried, however, In 1921, was less
than in 1920,' due to the gradual
decrease in industrial activity and
the consequent unemployment.
During the last six months of
n rates granted the latter by the!
public service commission, claims.. ,
rate of return for 1921 of only
Earning Show Increase
"Gross earnings of the com
pany showed an increase of 3.74
per rent, and net earnings in
creased 3.31 per cent The num
ber of light and power custom
ers increased from 53,285 to 57,
477. or a net gain of 4192."
President Griffith commented
upon the gratifying success of the
new plan of home financing
through the sale of 7 per cent
prior preference stock, of which
$472, S00 worth had been sold up
to February 28 of thU year, and
2250 new stockholders had been
added to the company's lists. The
entire proceeds from the sale of
this new security, tne company
announces, will be put right back
into extensions, betterments and
new construction.
Expenditures for last year for
betterments to the company's
properties amounted to $1,745,
795.29. The major portion of
this sum was for power plants.
sub-stations and distribution ser
vices, and $353,086.42 went into
street ra'lway extensions and im

YAKIMA, Wash.. March 18.
Joseph Fahey, marshal of the
town of Selah, owes the fact he
is alive to his badge of office.
The nickled steel badge, which
was pinned on Fahey's left breast,
was bent double when it stopped
a .37-calibre bullet fired last
night by an unidentified man who
stepped from behind a telephone
pole as Fahey was making his
rounds. Fahey was unconscious
from the concussion. When he
recovered, his assailant had dis
appeared. The badge was bent
and driven under his arm, cutting
into the flesh.

dience Friday evening to enjoy a
decidedly pleasing program, of
which an eloquent and learned ad
dress by John R. Murphy of Port
land, formed a prominent part.
Mr. Murphy reviewed the con
version of Ireland from paganism
to Christianity by St. Patrick in
the fifth century and traced the
record of the Irish race through
the succeeding centuries In the
fields of learning, of religion, and
of patriotic effort in every land,
and paid a glowing tribute to the
contributions that race has made
in sacrifice and service in the
building and defense of the United
States, the land of adoption of so
many of the sons and daughters
of Ireland who were drawn hither
by the liberty, freedom and oppor
tunity which it offered and which
are held as such priceless heri
tages.
He took pleasure in the dawn
of a new day for the Irish nation
and while there is not yet at hand
the full measure of desired inde
pendence, he saw in the prooosed
relations under the new pact with
Britain, an opportunity to build
up a prosperous country and ulti
mately ta take the place to which
