Portland Q. E. Must Meet
Whatever Rate Fixed
For Northwestern
But Salem and Other Towns
Outside of Portland
May not Profit
By C. A. SPRAGUE
falem has taken little Interest in
the Proceedings 'of the North
western Electrie rate case in
progress before Public Service
Commissioner Thomas, but there
are factors involved in this case
which may bo of great Impor
tance to Salem.
The Northwestern Electric sup
plies electric energy to a portion
of the city of Portland and en
virons, and to various points in
Washington". The commissioner Is
now engaged In fixing a valua
tion on its properties for rate
making purposes.
The presumption is that when
the hearing is concluded a rate
reduction will be ordered. The
amount of this reduction will de
pend not so much on final fig
ares on plant valuation, because
the figures of the commissioner
and the company are not very
far apart; but on the allocation
of plant investment to Washing
ton and to Oregon.
The Northwestern has a large
proportion of its plant in Wash
ington, but derives the larger
hare of its income in Oregon, In
part because its big load in Wash
ington is industrial, serving the
Crown-Willamette plant at Cam
as. The commissioner has to de
eide whether to allocate the gen
erating property la Washington
on the basis of kilowatt hours
consumed in each state, or on the
basis of Income produced in each
state, which is a difficult ques
tion. Q. E. Must Meet
Rate Decided On
But whatever rate reduction
may be ordered, and in view of
the present depression reducing
ven utility earnings the reduc
tion cannot be Tery large, the
Portland General" "Electric com
pany willl be forced to meet the
competitive rate in Portland.
Otherwise it would lose custom
ers to the Northwestern. Hither
to the rate cases have all been
directed against Pepco and
Northwestern had to meet the
competitive rate.
The question which concerns
Ralem in this? if Ppnon mppts the
rate cut In Portland will it ex-
tend the same reduction to the
outlying territory? At present Sa-
lem and intervening towns be-
tween here and Portland enjoy
th ftm Aleotrio rate-it As Pnrt-
land. If Portland is made a sen-
ratA Tiit strict then thn mitiv-
ing territory would be on a high-
ii- nt Kaso Thf nmtiii wn-v n
ihe disadvantage of the outside
rea. Salem would be penalized I
tnd industrial plants located here
would have to pay more for pow-
tr than If located in Portland,
tivine the Salem Dlants competl-
uve disadvantage.
Thus the Northwestern rate
:ase via the Portland General
Electric comDanv is of direct con-
sera to Salem. This citv has for

Threatening to Blow
Up Bakery in Salem
Given Food but not Just What he Wanted;
Illustrated Letter Shoved Beneath
Door; Yoncalla Case Eyed
A MEMBER of the I. W. W., angered because he was not
extended the bakery on a silver platter when he asked
for something to eat early this week, is believed by police
officers to be the author of a threatening note found Wed
nesday morning by the boy who opens the bakery.
The note, which threatened to "blow the place up if you
don't come through In 24 hours," O
was prorusely Illustrated with a
drawing of a lead pipe, inside of
which was dynamite and a fuse,
all carefully labeled. .
Officer George Edwards and
Sergeant Jack Cutler, who investi
gated, round that an I. W. W. had
sought food at the barkerv Mon
day, and became indignant because i
the employe who offered him
foodstuffs did not give everything
the man sought.
The "wobbly" at that time is
said to have told the bakeryman,
"Well, it won't be long until we
come and take it"
Manager Madsen of the bakery
and his employes have been In the
habit of giving food to many who
stop there for "handouts,' but as
far as Madsen can recall the lnci-
dent Monday Is the first time any
one has made a threat, so he be
lieves this man responsible for the
note.

here today on a warrant charging
him with the theft of 20,500
Zom-MacPherson blU petition

Brownell later was released to
his attorney, John Collier. Dis
trict Judge Hendrickson set bail
at $2500 but the amount later
was reduced to $2000. Brownell
was given until Monday to raise
the sum
Authorities said Brownell was
the man named by Robert Tall

the three men who stole the pe
titions. When Tallman first re
ported the matter to police he
told a fanciful story of having
been held up by three masked
men, two of them armed.
Other Parties to
Robbery Unknown
Under continuous questioning,
however, Tallman admitted his
story was a hoax and that the
removal of the petitions had been
prearranged. He named Brownell
as one of the men who took the
petitions but authorities said to
day the other two men still were
unknown to them.

Lockwood fulfilled that pledge
two years ago with wine but to

poem ending.

Before him, amid flowers stood
the bottle of old Burgundy, which
is kept In a bank vault between
