Christmas Hosts '
OREGON CITY'S
She was a pretty thing, ambi
tious, without funds. She came to
New York to study art, had very
l'.ttle money te live on. and when
she had all the troubles she could
handle, she married a poor man.
But she loved him. That was en
ough for that kind of girl. She'd
manage somehow...
Then came a baby. Even people
who didn't care much for babies
said that this certainly was a
beautiful child. The mother used
to sit and look at the child while
she was wishing that she could,
somehow, gather enough funds to
buy a cradle, and to hire a model
so that she could proceed with
her painting.
Thtn one day she got an idea.
Why not use the baby for a mod
el? Certainly there wasn't a love
lier model to be found. So that's
just what she did.
The baby's cradle was the bu
reau drawer, lovingly padded with
soft white things, and making an
astonishingly sice crib, so the
baby thought.
The pictures of that baby had
as much love as art in them. Pro
bably more love at the beginning,
bnt as much art at the finish of
the experiment.
And I thought of it the other
flay when I saw a wonderful pic
ture that this -woman contributed
to help raise funds for the poor at
Christmas time. No one ever heard
ef her turning a deaf eat to some
one who was In want. No degree
of prosperity could make her tilt
her chin up when someone In need
was ejote at hand.
And providence - has. somehow,
managed to-look after her happi
ness. Bless God. ...
- After all It 'does read this way:
The Lord helps those who help
-ethers, .'

south of this eity, power generat
ing possibilities ot which were
first perceived by Dr. John Mc
Lourhlin, the "baron ot the Co
lumbia." as early as 1821. took
the center ot the stage in the

ing; of this city's petition to reduce
domestic electric rates and', the
Portland Electric Power com
pany's plea that street car tariffs
be Increased from eight to 10
cents.
Kenneth J. Harlan, city rate a
pert, charged tha power com
pany's H.ltl.Kt valuation of Its
Willamette falls generating sta
tion is bevond reason. He declared
the plant Is obsolete, that it is no
longer an Important factor in the
company's generating system. He
expressed the opinion that it
should be withdrawn from public
opinion.
Franklin T. Griffith, president
of , the power company, took the
stand in defense of the falls. He
agreed that the plant might be
withdrawn but declared the com
pany's valuation of the property
was .not excessive.
"It must be remembered," be
told the commission, "that the
plant was built when engineers
did not know as much as they do
now. To do away with It would
be to cast aside a huge investment
honestly made at the time."
The city, through its rate ex
perts, is endeavoring to prove
that valuations of the power com
pany for rate making purposes are
too high "by from ,500,00t to
t IS. 00 0.0 00. The city contends

F1IIS TO DEVELOP
NEW YORK. Dee. 9.7. (AP)
The rally in stock prices, pro
moted by short covering, which
began Tuesday, was swamped
with renewed liquidation today,
after a final spurt during the
early hours of the session. Pop
ular trading shares generally rose
1 to 5 points in the morning, only
to lose most of their gains before
the close, several closing moder
ately lower.
With the covering movement
apparently completed, the market
turned decidedly dull. With the
short interest reduced, enthusiasm
in the bull camp waned and
shares were permitted to drift
lower, pending more definite
measurement of the success of
the holiday retail trade, and
clearer indications ot the course
of general business after the turn
of the year. The activity of the
morning was sufficient to pile up
total sales ot 3,363,840 shares.
787.100 more than yesterday.
Such shares as U. S. S-teel,
General Electric, American Can,
American . and Foreign .Power,
Johns Manville, International
Telephone, American Telephone.
and Simmons sole' up about 3 to 5
points during the morning, but
these gains were practically ai
lost during the afternoon. Gen
eral Electric and American Tele
phone closed with net losses of
1 3-4 points, and U. S. Steel end
ed the session oft 1-4.
