In an order of the public set-
Vice commission yesterday a gen-
eral reduction in electric rafes of
the Sheridan Light s Power com
pany and the Willamina Electric
company affecting the cities of
Sheridan and Willamina and ad
jacent territory is established.
The minimum charge for resi
dential lighting la reduced from
$1.50 to $1.25 a month. Revls
Ions In seasonal power rates are
made requiring short term power
users to pay a rate commensurate
with the added 'cost of serving
this class of consumers. The
greatest demand for this service
Is said to be during the low water
period when the hydraulic plants
cannot be used to advantage, and
the more expensive steam gener
ation Is only available. ,
It Is said that power users on
yearly contracts will be afforded
a considerable saving under the
operation of the new schedule for
power consumption. A reduction
In municipal street lighting rates
will - be afforded' under the order
through a more equitable appor
tldnment of 'the service expense
to "the various types of lighting
fixtures 'which heretofore have
not ' been considered in the old
rate structures. A more scien
title schedule of rates ' has been
promulgated by the commission
in order to eliminate inequalities
heretofore existing under the old
tariff.

Less Tractor Fuel May
Result, Says Snelling
R. O. Snelling Of the Associat
ed Oil company drove south as
far as Cottage Grove and Eugene
Tuesday. He ran into a brisk
snow storm between these two
towns, a regular April storm that
annoyed, though of course it did
not prohibit traffic
Mr. Snelling - finds the inter
esting situation that there is like
ly to be less tractor fuel used
this year than usual, and so there
is less rush spring plowing and
t0 icon a uou eyiiuo o
i geealng to do ta4n m08t seasons
Should the spring hold off much
later, however, and then the
weather turn '-'.good and warm
with a rush, he expects the trac
tors to be called back into the
field, for day and night use
The biggest question Just now
at the southern towns, is that of
when the road is going to open
