WON BY APPEAL TO VANITY
How Wily Diplomat Saved Lord Bea
consfield From Ead "Break"
He Had Contemplated.
Curiosity, says a London correspond
ent of the Christian Science Monitor,
Is frequently expressed as to how the
prime minister gets along In his con
ferences with foreign ministers. It is
understood that, though he can make
out the purport of a printed passage
in the French language, he never had
the opportunity of acquiring facility In
the spoken tongue. In this respect he
finds a precedent in the case of Lord
JBcaconstield. When he went to the
j 'jin congress in 1ST8 he made
I vn to his faithful secretary his in
Ction of addressing the conference
In French. Monty Cory, having suf
fered scraps of his chiefs colloquial
French, was aghast. In despair he ap
plied to the British minister at Berlin
for assistance. Odo Russell lived up
to the occasion. In casual conversa
tion with Lord Beaconsfield he men
tioned that he had heard a rumor that
he intended to address the plenipo
tentiaries on the following day in
French. "That would," the wily min
ister said, "be a grave disappoint
ment. They know that they have here
In you the greatest living master of
English oratory, and are looking for
ward to your speech as the intellectual
treat of their lives." "Dizzy" Immediate
ly saw the reasonableness of this ob
jection and all his speeches during the
sittings of the congress were in Eng-
LDN'T LEAVE EMILY OUT
Peculiar Reason Why Elderly Spinster
Just Had to Attend the
Funeral.
Word has come to the mid-Victorian
lady that an old friend of her moth
er's had died suddenly in her home In
Maine. It was her duty to break the
sad news to two elderly spinsters,
cousins of the dear departed "auntie."
She found Miss Susan at home, tend
ing to her pet canary. Miss Susan is
78, but spry and alert, ready for any
emergency. Miss Emily, five years
older, was out motoring with a kindly
benefactress. The slow tears of old
age trickled down Miss Susan's cheeks
at the word that another of her gener
ation had passed away. And then,
with a quick transition, she began ex
cited plans for attending the funeral,
which Involved a trip by boat to Port
land and a long and arduous ride In
a day coach. But the thought of all
this, coupled with midsummer heat,
did not daunt the little lady. She
would go.
"But, at least, Miss Susan," urged
the messenger, "you'll not take Miss
Emily with you."
"And, my dear," said the lady to
the woman, when she told her story
orer a cold lunch, "what do you sup
pose Miss Susan said? Seriously, In
her slow drawl, she replied: 'Oh, I
wouldn't leave Emily behind. Tou see
she has so little fun In her life."
Scraping the Ballot.
T?)e woman who had charge of the
voting machine placed In one of the
downtown stores for use In the In
struction of women first voters, met
a number of unusual nnd amnsln?

Telephone Rates and
The Decline in Prices
The Telephone Company has asked its patrons in Oregon to pay more for their tele
phone service. It has placed the facts and figures of the situation before the Public Service
Commission for their investigation and verification. The increases will not amount to
much to individual subscribers, but the aggregate will permit the Company to properly
maintain and develop its service.
We have shown the
greater than our earnings.
Oregon investment and the interest aue on ueuis nuitu onuuiu .uj-c.., v..
Oregon properties is not being paid from Oregon receipts.
At the hearing before the Public Service Commission not a fact or figure presented by
the Company was disputed or disproved. The only material contention made was that in
creases were perhaps inopportune in view of the apparent decline in general commodity
prices.
The Company is asking for a reasonable return upon its existing investment, without
reeard to the uncertainties of the future. The Company files periodical reports of its op
erations with public authorities and its future investments will be the subject of con
stant consideration and future adjustments, if necessary.
Salaries and wages make up 72 of our current expenses. We hope they will not be
reduced and do not think they should be.
I the five years 1916-1920 inclusive, we have increased the wages of our plant people
1307 000 00 Our traffic (operating) employees, $681,000.00, commercial employees,
$98,000.00, a total of $1,086,000.00 per annum.
Ffficlent and contented employees mean good service. It is their due and our desire
that their compensation be equal to that paid in other lines of business activity.
Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates.

situations. A few days ago, a well
dressed woman who had all the ap
pearances of being well informed on
matters political, entered the section
where Instructions were being given,
and after making the usual prelim
inary aii!ogies. asked the young wom
an in charge to demonstrate the oper
ation of the machine. She was shown
what she should do in case she wished
to vote a straight ticket, but this
failed to satisfy her craving for In
structions, and the climax was
reached when she innocently request
ed : "And now would you mind show
ing me how I should work the machine
if I wish to 'scrape' my ballot?"
Furs All Her Fortune.
"Alaska produces a large variety of
beautiful and valuable furs upon
land," says Andrew J. Stone in the
Century. "It has 13 varieties of bears,
six species of fox black, blue, cross,
red, silver and white and all com
mon land furs. The skins of its foxes
are of the highest quality and are
larger than those produced In any
other country. The Alaska moose Is
the largest land animal found on the
western hemisphere. The meat Is as
choice as the best of beef and the
skin makes excellent footwear and Is
much worn during the winter months.
The caribou, like the reindeer, lives
almost exclusively upon mosses, and
inhabits nearly all parts of the coun
try except the southern coast country.
They are found in large herds and
supply man with millions of pounds
of meat.
Helium From Natural Gas.
Up to a little more than a year ago
helium was a laboratory product made
at a cost of from $1,500 to $2,000 per
cubic foot, but toward the close of the
war Its production had been simpli
fied to the point that 8,000 cubic feet
per day was produced in Texas alone.
The commercial production of he
lium has been stimulated by the need
of a substitute for hydrogen, which Is
so highly inflammable that Its value
for military purposes In dirigibles and
kite balloons Is gravely impaired. Al
though the substitution of helium for
this purpose entails a loss of 7 per
cent In lifting power, this Is more than
compensated for by the elimination of
all risk of fire and explosion. Helium
suffers less loss by diffusion than hy
drogen and cannot be made to burn
or explode under any conditions.
Playing at Soldiering.
Some Australian Wellington will
probably trace a modern Waterloo to
the playing fields of Melbourne or Syd
ney. Australia has recognized as the
result of her war lessons that Intelli
gence, not monotony, Is an invaluable
test of the soldier. The old weari
some drill-ground system of training
cadets Is fast giving way to the new
plan which makes a play of work.
While the boys are taught discipline
and drill they are mainly shown how
to play basket ball and to compete In
Jumping, tug i war, and swimming.
Those Intrusted with the making of a
new Australian army are confident
that the best soldier will be the happy,
well-trained sportsman, who has
learned to play for his side, to keep
his temper and to think Intelligently.
There can be little doubt that the
change is keenly appreciated by young
Australia. Christian Science Monitor.

To Develop Wild Pears.
The world's largest stock of pear
fieedllags of a wild, bllght-reslstlng va
riety found In Manchuria, Is located on
the Lotim Rica ranch near Grass Vnl
ley, Oil. The young trees are from'
seeds brought directly from China and
number about 100,000.
Three pomoloulnil experts from the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, Professors Allison, Wright and
Klngsrmtn, recently Inspected the stock
and approved the experimental work.
The original trees, known as the
I'yniN tiNiirlensIs, are found growing
In tho ancient burying ground of tho
kings of the Mancbiirlan dynasty, and
It Is only since the overthrow of tbn
dynasty that the seeds became avail-
able. The tract is wild to bo vast
and to bo grown to trees of Immense
elze.
By grafting th? commercial varie
ties of pears upon this stock good re
sults are expected to be obtained.

Efforts to harness the water power
going to waste In the Pyrenees and
transform It Into electricity are being 1
Intensified.
Engineers have surveyed entire
mountain ranges and have succeeded
already In controlling many tor
nuts nnd making them furnish power.
Altogether 200,000 horsepower now Is
furnished and capital amounting to
300,000,000 pesetas have been Invested.
Every day sees additions to tho
amount of power available-, and en
gineers employed in the work estimate
that In a few years Catatonia will be
able to do without coal.
