AT ASHLAND.
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

but the norma! capacity of the plant
is now 400. horsepower.
About half the citizens have eon-

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

t- the city for a purchase of the
riiti!al plant. It is doubtful, how-

liahts remind one of the early 'SO's.

Now is the time for the Pacific
Light & Power company to get busy
and provide such service as will make

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

IN A SMALL CITY.
Slinot, is. 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.

Let me say here that I hold judges
and especially the supreme court of
the country in much respect; but I
am too familiar with the history of
judicial proceedings to regard them
with any super:; itious reverence.

have shown a full share of frailty.

for his wife, I was wiliinir to take it.
Now I look the picture of health and
