for all securities.
Clous to 10,00 0 customers are
now int'-resit'd in the Oregon utili
'ics centering in Portland, over
half of them being investors in
tho Tortland Railway, Light &
Power company. Other thousands
have become investors in the utili
ties centering in Med ford. Each
month eees the lists increased as
the securities offer an attractive
and safe form of investment,
with concerns which are under
the personal observation of the
investor. These investors will
probably increase until the ideal
situation is attained, all uliM'y
pecuritlea bein.tr held by the con
sumers a form of public owner
shin immeasureibty superior to
that of state ownership, which
places them ir. politics, creates a
bureacracy and jeopardizes their
earning capacity.

steam plant which supplies the
steam tables and soup and coffee
boilers. Meats, fowls, etc., are
cooked in a steam chest. This
process insures tender meats with,
