The little city of Ashland in south ern Oregon has just installed a mu nicipal electric plant and the follow ing story which appeared under an Ashland date line shows how it is j w i rking; "The municipal stret lizht'r.g sys tem, which was put in operation this week has more than come up to the standard promised for it. For the first time in many years the streets of Ashland are properly and credit ably illuminated. The street lighting contract with the Siskiyou company which has just expired, called for 20 candle-power lights. The ones now in operation are of 100 and 200 candle power and give a light almost equi alent to daylight. North and East Main streets. Fourth street and Oak street, are equipped with three light electroliers, carrying a total of 220 tandlepower each; the Poulevard is lined with single light electroliers car rying 2'hi candlepower each. It re quired 3 j horsepower to run the street lights and the peak load on Saturday rights for the entire city was 173 horsepower. It has been claimed by vis CJl6giJ The Sworn Statements of All Regular Life Insurance Com panies Doing Business in Oregon (43 in All) Are Now on File With State Insurance Commissioners.

About half the citizens have eon- n,-cltd up with the city plant and others are daily switching from the id i company. -So unanimous is the aj j roval of the new plant that the I rMskivou .ni;any has made overtures t- the city for a purchase of the riiti!al plant.

Now is the time for the Pacific Light & Power company to get busy and provide such service as will make a municipal plant unnecessary- in or: FOOTSTEPS. If it be true that "imitation is the ( sheerest flatter'" then the Portland Oregonian does much honor to this paper. In the Sunday Oregonian an announcement was made yesterday that henceforth the Oregonian will produce the comic supplement fea tures that appear each week in the Saturday East Oregonian and which service has been used by the East Ore gonian for the past six years. 'Slim J;m," Sambo. Mr. Boss, the rooster, ai:d dainty little Anna Belle will all b? produced for the benefit of the I Portland paper's readers. Those fun ny and clever people all have many v. arm friends among the children who rtad the East Oregonian and its comic supplement and no doubt they will be glad that their favorites are appreci ated in the large cities also. The Oregonian Is evidently upon the right track. THE I NIVIiKSITY CASE. It is not probable that those repre senting the University of Oregon in the referendum cases desire by legal piocess to deny any honest citizen the full expression of hi.s wishes under the r fcrendum, says the Journal. It is rot probable that those represent ing the state desire any forged or Year 1910 issued more policies in Oregon than any other Life Insurance Company. collected mors money for first year's premiums than any other Life Insurance Company, made greater net gains from business written in Oregon than any other Life Insurance Com pany. f.filn f ftutKlfle rompanlra are prlnel Hlly from rtmovili to Orricoo of polie) -ho.'oVr from otbrr alalra. led all other companies in 1909, as well as in 1910, and is in 1911 surpassing all of its previous wonderful triumphs.

It is assumed that bith parties want to get at the exact truth, and to have the referendum stand or fall on the fiucstion of what 'may be the exact number of properly authenticated signatures. To find out the facts and to abide Ly the facts is an essential step. For this purpose a full Investigation by ii mu-jrourt is necessary, an J to make it ac- curate, both sides to the controversy should be represented by able counsel. Two very large issues appear in the ase One is the question of whether or not the university appropriation !s being defeated by frauds.

D., with a population o: 6188, has adopted the commission plan of government and it works well there. Taxes are now 20 per .cent lower than they have been for five years; the different departments of the city are obtaining better results and at a lower cost than was true un der the old system and according to the mayor some of the departments will run the coming year without any appropriations. Minot's experience indicates that the commission form of government works well in small cities as well a-s in large places. When the commis sion plan is adopted in small cities it is merely necessary to make the sal aries smaller in accordance with the population of the place. This is the plan of those who are backing the local move for the adoption of com mission government for Pendleton. CH AI1LE.S Sl'MNEIl ON .U'WiES.
