We have A Tonic for Tired Watches Letcher & Son Optomertrlsts PER52NdL 55 LOCAL ! r Fred A. Williams, new member of the state jjubllc service commis sion, came home from Salem today for a short visit. He left on a short business trip to Medford this after noon. Mr. Williams gives some Interest ing figures In regard to the applica tion of the Oregon Gas & Electric Co. to raise their rates for gas In this city. For Instance, In 1912 fuel oil was selling for about 40 cents a barrel, while now It commands $2.50 a barrel. Kitchen wood used to sell for about $2 a tier, while at present it sells for about $3.50. Lately fuel oil went from $1.38 a barrel to $2.60. A barrel of fuel oil will produce, approximately, something over 2,000 cubic feet, of gas . The gas company asks for a raise of 40 cents per thousand, mak ing a rate of $2.50 a thousand, in stead of $2.10, as it Is at present The hearing before the public service commission will take place at the Josephine county courthouse on February 7, at 10 a. m., and Mr. Williams urges that all those who wish to make a protest against the proposed raise in rates be present at that time.
