A fra n ch ise was g ra n te d th e P o rt­

G resham council on T uesday even­
ing, th u s a ssu rin g th e people a su p ­
ply of gas for cooking, h ea tin g and
o th e r purposes as soon as th e com ­
pany can reach here w ith th e ir m ains
an d pipe th e tow n. T he fran ch ise is
fo r 25 years.
i t has been sta te d th a t when the
com pany secures 170 consum ers any­
w here ea st of th e city lim its th a t th e
ra te s will be th e sam e as P o rtlan d
ra te s w ith a m inim um of one dollar
a m onth. T h a t s ta te m e n t was m ade
to the council by th e re p rese n tativ e
of th e com pany who was here asking
for th e franchise.
T he com pany has been m aking
surveys along th e county roads and
th ro u g h th e stre e ts of G resham to de­
te rm in e th e m ost p rac tica b le ro u te
for th e ir m ains. It is rep o rted th a t
they will com e into the city along ihe
co unty road th a t will fu rn ish the
m ost subscribers.
It is even said th a t th e Base Line
has been selected as th e best owing
to th e la rg e r population along th a t
road, an d th a t th e m ain will tu rn
so u th w a rd to G resham on Stanley
avenue, th en ce to Pow ell stre e t and
in to th e tow n along th a t th o ro u g h ­
fare.
T he p lans are n o t definitely know n
in reg ard to an y th in g , b u t it is p re­
sum ed th a t very lib e ral concessions
will be m ade reg a rd in g in stallatio n
of pipes in to buildings, as a consid­
era b le use of gas is encouraged for
cooking and h ea tin g as well as for
lig h tin g .
Gas com pany m ains on th e Base
L ine are alread y laid as fa r as V en­
tu ra P ark , and it w ould ta k e only
ab o u t five m iles of pipe to reach
G resham . It is believed th a t m any
farm ers along the way o u t would
ta k e th e service and th a t Rockwood
would fu rn ish a nu m b er of good cus­
tom ers. I t is believed th a t pipe ex­
ten sions will be m ade as far as 500
feet o r m ore for a consum er, hence
people living on m any of th e cross­
roads can get the benefit of the
service.
C h a u ta u q u a closes to n ig h t with
th e appearan ce of th e H aw aiian

been given up to C h a u ta u q u a pro­
gram s have been each an epoch in
G resham 's h isto ry , an d th e in sp ira­

h ere of th e E llison-W hite system
will be the m oving sp irit to continue
the C h au ta u q u a as an in stitu tio n
next year and every y ear th e re afte r.
All th e pro g ram s have been in ­
te re stin g and it would be h ard w ork
to pick out th e best. T he choice
would depend on th e te m p erm e n t of
the chooser, for som e are p a rtia l to
lectures, o th e rs to m usic, and th e re
is scarcely a person who would be
critic enough to pick o ut th e best.
Every program gave satisfactio n to
th e e n tire audience.
A rran g em en ts were s ta rte d
on
W ednesday evening to hold a C h au ­

for sig n a tu re s to pledges. In a few

signed freely and w illingly, an d th e

W ith such a s ta rt tow ard a g u a r­
