WOOL DISPLAY SHOWN
Mrs. Ralph I. Thompson, president
Oregon Wool Growers auxiliary, is
enthusiastic in praising the coop
eration received from Meier & Frank
company in boosting interest in
woolen articles during the Pacific
International Livestock exposition.
Previously to going to the exposition
she wrote Portland's big department
store asking if they might not make
a window display of wool and wool
en articles during the exposition.
She did not receive a reply before
leaving, but on reaching the city she
found that one large window on the
corner of 5th and Morrison was giv
en over to a display including the
raw wool, the several processes of
handling and manufacture down to
the finished product, also statistics
on the wool industry, and a placard
saying that the display had been ar
ranged for the state wool auxiliary.
Another large window also was em
ployed, showing various articles of
woolen apparel and blankets. where
credit was also given the auxiliary.
Mrs. Thompson said that woolen
neckties were promoted in the aux
iliary's booth at the P. I. and that
the receipts were more than the
amount taken in at the state fair
booth.
Improved Street
Lighting Proposal
Given to Council
Ornamental Curb
Fixtures for Main
Street Included
A proffer for improved street
lighting for the city was presented
to the council Monday evening by
G. L. Corey, district manager of Pa
cific Power & Light company, The
Dalles, and Homer Curtis, the com
pany's lighting technician.
The power company representa
tives outlined briefly a plan of or
namental curb lights for Main street
which the company would install and
amortize the cost to the city over a
twenty-year period. Not only would
the appearance of Main street be
greatly enhanced by the installation,
but it was assured that the illum
ination would be much better than
that of the present system.
Approximate figures quoted by
the visitors show that the city's street
lighting bill would be increased from
$60 to $150 a month to pay for the
installation over the 20-year period.
Definite action on tre proposal was

not taken Monday evening, but was
left open for further consideration.
Discussion by the council revealed
a belief that the inefficiency of the
present Main street lighting is such
as to make tarffic after night ex
tremely hazardous. Just enough light
is shed to largely nullify effective
ness of car headlights and pedes
trians or other objects in the street
are run upon before they can be
seen by car drivers. But the need
for the improvement was for the mo
ment overweighed by the reluctance
to assume an obligation that would
put the city in the hole for a con
siderable period. A thorough con
sideration of all angles was deemed
necessary to determine the project's
feasibility.
After listening to the power com
pany representatives the council de
voted the rest of Monday's meeting
to peparing a tentative draft of the
city's financial needs to be present
ed to the budget committee when
it meets next Monday evening. Sit
ting with the council at that time
will be Hanson Hughes. J. G. Thom
